Qin Hao smiled awkwardly. "Back then, I was still new to this line of work and a bit thin-skinned. Now I've let go of my inhibitions. Besides, you guys can't leave me anyway, so I just brought you all back."
"Ha, you brought her back just like that? I'm not having it! When I wanted to become an official girlfriend, you kept me waiting for so long!"
Saying this, Qin Kexin started counting on her fingers. "One, two..."
"Qin Hao! Are you planning to collect the full twelve Chinese zodiac signs?"
Qin Hao wiped the non-existent cold sweat from his forehead. "The twelve zodiac signs? That might not be quite enough."
"What!!!"
The girls' eyes widened, looking at Qin Hao in sheer disbelief. They hadn't expected this guy to say such a thing with such righteous confidence.
Qin Hao chuckled and said to them, "Ah, alright, stop making a fuss. I know you're upset. Today, I'll make it up to you properly."
"Save it!" Su Qingyue pushed Qin Hao away. She didn't use much force, but her attitude was resolute.
Pushed half a step back, Qin Hao leaned toward Jiang Xinyao. Smiling, Jiang Xinyao dodged to the side, not letting him succeed.
Next, Qin Hao turned to Shen Suning, who picked up her teacup and took a gentle sip.
Qin Kexin did the same, taking a sip from her teacup without even looking at Qin Hao.
Helpless, Qin Hao could only look at Xia Lingxi. "Lingxi?"
Xia Lingxi glanced at her older sisters behind her, then forcefully turned her head to the side to show her stance.
Standing to the side and witnessing this scene, Xu Siya felt her nervousness replaced by an indescribable emotion. She suddenly felt that standing here made her look like an intruder.
It was no longer a matter of whether these sisters welcomed her; it was that she was standing between them and Qin Hao, causing friction among them.
"Ah Cheng..." Xu Siya's voice was very soft, but it still drew the attention of everyone in the courtyard.
Feeling her face heat up under the gaze of the five women, Xu Siya subconsciously leaned closer to Qin Hao. But then, feeling that this action would only further inflame the conflict between Qin Hao and Su Qingyue's group, she shifted back away.
Her fingers unconsciously twisted the hem of her clothes, a little habit of hers when she was nervous.
"Did I cause trouble for you?" Xu Siya whispered, her voice so soft and delicate it seemed afraid of startling something.
Seeing Xu Siya like this, Qin Hao's heart instantly softened. He walked over and gently pulled her into his arms.
"You didn't cause me any trouble. None at all." Qin Hao's voice was very soft, as if coaxing a child.
Xu Siya looked up, her eyes red. She bit her lip and whispered,
"But the sisters seem unhappy..."
Qin Hao rubbed Xu Siya's head and explained with a smile,
"They aren't unhappy with you; they're unhappy with me. It has nothing to do with you. Don't worry, I can handle it."
After saying that, Qin Hao pulled Xu Siya behind him and turned to look at Su Qingyue and the other four.
"Ahem. What's done is done. Sending her away is impossible. In my heart, she is just as important as all of you. How about this, you guys state your positions."
"Whoever is the first to state that they accept Siya, I will spend a whole month exclusively with her. The second will only get half a month. The third will only get a few days. As for the fourth and fifth, I'm afraid there won't be any chance left."
As soon as Qin Hao said this, the courtyard fell silent for a moment.
Jiang Xinyao was the first to stand up, even knocking her chair over in the process.
"Qin Hao, what do you mean by this? Treating yourself as a prize? Can you have a little dignity as an Emperor's Son?"
Qin Hao shrugged. "It's not a prize, it's compensation. What's wrong? Do none of you want me to keep you company?"
"Wh-who wants you to keep them company?" Jiang Xinyao's face flushed red, but her voice grew louder. "Stop being so full of yourself. We won't be bewitched by your conditions!"
Su Qingyue nodded in agreement. She said to Shen Suning and the others beside her,
"Sisters, we need to stand firm today. We can't let him think we're easy to bully. A month? Heh, we are people who have seen great storms. How could we be tempted by such a low-level honey trap?"
Xia Lingxi kept her head down, her fingers rubbing the edge of her teacup without speaking. In truth, she really wanted to be the first to declare her acceptance. A month! That was a whole month! Wouldn't she be soaring to the heavens?
However, the two big sisters of her faction had already spoken. As the little sister at the bottom, she naturally didn't dare to open her mouth and state her position.
Qin Kexin declared with an indignant look, "Qingyue and Xinyao are right. Sister Suning, we must advance and retreat together. We absolutely cannot be traitors!"
Shen Suning's eyelashes fluttered. She smiled at Su Qingyue and the others, then nodded. "Kexin is right. We absolutely cannot be traitors."
"Therefore—"
"I accept her!"
Before her voice even faded, Shen Suning turned into a streak of light and threw herself into Qin Hao's arms. She wrapped her arms around his waist and pressed her face against his chest. Her posture was gentle and soft, yet carried an unquestionable sense of possessiveness.
"Hao Hao, for the next month, you are mine."
The courtyard instantly erupted!
"Sister Suning, how could you do this! Didn't you just say you wouldn't be a traitor! How could you backstab us right after?"
Shen Suning poked her head out of Qin Hao's embrace and glanced at them. Her expression was extremely innocent, blinking her eyes like a cat that had stolen a fish, pretending to know nothing even after being caught.
"That's right, not being a traitor. I would never betray Hao Hao. Is there a problem?"
Saying this, a playful smile curled the corners of Shen Suning's mouth. "You guys didn't actually think you could stop Hao Hao from bringing someone back, did you?"
"Actually, all of you are well aware of this in your hearts. Since we can't stop it, I can only fight for my own maximum benefit. The condition of one month is quite nice."
As she spoke, Shen Suning hugged Qin Hao tightly, rubbing her head against his chest.
Su Qingyue and Jiang Xinyao hadn't even recovered their wits yet, but Qin Kexin's mind was completely filled with the thought that the second to declare got half a month, the third only a few days, and the fourth and fifth would get absolutely nothing.
"No way, I absolutely cannot be fourth or fifth!"
"I'm second!" Qin Kexin took a deep breath, as if making a life-or-death decision, and violently raised her hand, her whole body jumping up with it.
"Kexin!!! You!!!"
Su Qingyue and Jiang Xinyao were both shocked. Before Qin Hao came back, hadn't they agreed to advance and retreat together and teach him a lesson? He just used such a low-level honey trap, and you all surrendered just like that?
"I declare third!" Finally, Xia Lingxi really couldn't hold back anymore. She was afraid that if she delayed even a second longer, she wouldn't be able to grab any benefits at all.
ing gift was a patch of barren land, and disciples were all picked up along the way. He spent fifty years diligently building three "ramshackle little sects," thinking he could finally live a carefree life relying on his disciples. But right at the fifty-year mark, he was suddenly swept away by a spatial rift and exiled to the Chaos Desolation, the Disorderly Ruins. There was no spiritual energy there, only slaughter. Relying on the cultivation feedback from his disciples, Gu Changyuan hacked his way through a sea of blood for eleven hundred years. When the system finally fished him back out, he discovered the ramshackle little sects he'd built back then had developed a rather... unusual style. Hold on... I vanished for a thousand years, so how did my ramshackle little sects become holy lands?!
transmigrates into the world as the sect master of the Heavenly Yan Sect, which is on the verge of being wiped out. He binds a system that grants him cultivation power based on the number of disciples he has: for each disciple, he automatically gains a year's worth of cultivation every single day! Take one disciple: every day he gains 1 year of cultivation power. While others struggle through a year of bitter training, he gets the same just by sleeping through a single night. Take ten disciples: every day he gains 10 years of cultivation power. Foundation Establishment, Core Formation, Nascent Soul—he breezes through all bottlenecks without lifting a finger. Take one hundred disciples: every day he gains 100 years of cultivation power. Even a Soul Transformation Venerable before him can’t survive a single blow. Take ten thousand disciples: every day he gains 10,000 years of cultivation power! With a wave of his hand, he topples empires. With a single step, he crushes the sacred grounds of the universe. ... While others fight tooth and nail for secret techniques, Lin Yan casually hands out Nascent Soul-level cultivation manuals as beginner textbooks. While others strain to find talented recruits, Lin Yan opens his doors to anyone—so long as they’re human. In just three short years, the Heavenly Yan Sect went from a backwater sect made up of three crumbling huts to a sacred land that every cultivator under heaven would kill to enter. ... One day, otherworldly demon gods invade, with a million demon soldiers pressing down upon the realm. Lin Yan, yawning, rises from his lounge chair and glances at the system panel: [Current Disciples: 1.28 million] [Daily Cultivation Increase: 1.28 million years] He waves his hand casually, and the countless demon soldiers are reduced to ashes in an instant. “So noisy… interrupting my fishing.”
young master of the Shen family—a figure of immense power and wealth beyond measure—and awakened the "Destined Ultimate Villain System"! His starting scenario? Running into his icy fiancée who shows up with a mountain-descending divine doctor to break off their engagement. The divine doctor arrogantly taunts: "What does your Shen family have besides a bit of stinking money? You're not even worthy of tying Qingxue's shoelaces!" Shen Fei just smiled. He completely defied the usual script: "Fine, I agree to break off the engagement. Also, notify the finance department to withdraw all investments from the Su family." Minutes later, with its capital chain severed, the Su Group teetered on the brink of bankruptcy! The once aloof and proud ice queen CEO was thrown into utter panic. That very night, she went to Shen Fei's villa, casting aside all dignity to beg and plead desperately... From then on, in this world teeming with Sons of Destiny, Shen Fei embarked on a path of extreme dimensional suppression! A mountain-descending divine doctor? Peerless medical skills? Shen Fei: "Reporting you for practicing medicine without a license! I'll gladly take your ancient medicinal cauldron and twin sister assassins." The Crooked-Smiling Dragon King? Commanding a hundred thousand soldiers with a single order? Shen Fei: "Illegal assembly and suspected treason! Let a fleet of attack helicopters sanitize the area and teach you what the state apparatus really means!" A reborn tycoon? Knows all the golden opportunities of the next decade? Shen Fei: "A trillion in capital to reverse and pump the stock market, making you blow your margin and jump on the very first day of your rebirth!" What Chosen Ones? What bearers of Heavenly Fortune? In Shen Fei's eyes, they're all just chives (i.e., suckers/marks) waiting to be harvested! Shen Fei: "Sorry, but as the Destined Ultimate Villain, I don't play by the rules of honor. I only play the game of dimensional suppression."
