Qin Hao looked at his old man's "beg me" expression, the corner of his mouth twitching uncontrollably. Ten thousand years, the old geezer really dared to ask for that!
"System, take back the Nine Tribulations Sword!"
Qin Hao wasn't going to spoil this bad habit. Trying to jack up the price? Even if I can't subdue this Karmic Luck Dao Beast, I have other ways to obtain karmic luck. Without my Nine Tribulations Sword, where else are you going to find a supreme Dao artifact?
"You..." Qin Wuya was momentarily left speechless. He looked at Qin Hao in astonishment, clearly not expecting this little brat to be so decisive as to directly take back the Nine Tribulations Sword.
Qin Hao shrugged with a look of indifference:
"Dad, we agreed before that if you help me subdue this Karmic Luck Dao Beast, I'd extend your lease for a month. Now it seems we haven't reached an agreement. Since that's the case, I'll take the sword back first. When your attitude improves, I'll give it back to you."
Qin Wuya's face darkened. He gritted his teeth and thought to himself, "He's my own son after all, I'll avoid beating him if I can."
He took a deep breath and held up one finger: "One year. Extending the lease for a year should be fine, right? One month is simply too short."
Qin Hao thought for a moment, then nodded: "Alright, one year it is. Tell me, how can I subdue this Karmic Luck Dao Beast?"
After negotiating the terms, Qin Wuya explained that with Qin Hao's current situation, he couldn't subdue this Karmic Luck Dao Beast at all. To make this beast serve Qin Hao, he had to choose someone from Su Qingyue and the other girls to subdue the little beast first.
"As long as any of them subdues this little beast, it can naturally gather karmic luck for you."
"Your karmic luck is too low. Moreover, this Karmic Luck Dao Beast is an entity that shouldn't exist. Its appearance in this world is entirely related to that Lin Bei."
Speaking up to here, Qin Wuya paused and asked, "Kid, you've met that guy too. What do you think of him?"
Qin Hao shook his head: "Just average. Stronger than others, but still a bit lacking compared to me."
Hearing this, Qin Wuya patted Qin Hao's shoulder with a serious expression: "But I think he's stronger than you in certain aspects. He isn't an enemy. Get to know him properly, and stop revolving around women all day. You should expand your social circle too."
Qin Hao chuckled. Revolving around women? Me? It has always been women revolving around me!
After bidding farewell to Qin Wuya, Qin Hao immediately returned to his residence. He informed Su Qingyue and the others about the matter of subduing the karmic luck beast. Upon hearing they could help Qin Hao, the girls were eager to try.
Qin Hao took them to the Nine-Revolution Linglong Pagoda. Unlike its dismissive attitude towards Qin Hao, when facing Su Qingyue and the others, the Karmic Luck Dao Beast tried its absolute best to show off.
Three days passed in a flash. Ultimately, the little beast chose Su Qingyue as its master. This outcome was within Qin Hao's expectations; after all, Qingyue's karmic luck was the highest among them.
"Out of so many daughters of destiny, only Ruyan's karmic luck is on par with Qingyue's. Tsk, speaking of which, I really miss Ruyan a bit. I wonder when that Ancient Immortal Battlefield will open. A family should be neat and complete."
After subduing the Karmic Luck Dao Beast, the first command Su Qingyue gave it was to help Qin Hao gather karmic luck. Although the little beast looked extremely reluctant, it had to obediently comply since its master had spoken.
Qin Hao opened his information panel:
[Karmic Luck: Six Dou Six Sheng (Opportunities appear frequently, cultivation is smooth)]
At this moment, with the help of the Karmic Luck Dao Beast, Qin Hao's karmic luck was slowly rising with a faint momentum. Although it wasn't much, it won in endurance!
[Ding! You have a new rental order. Do you want to accept it immediately?]
The notification sound in his mind made Qin Hao stiffen. He twitched his mouth: "Dog System, I'm really a bit tired. One order a month, I really can't handle it."
[Ding! Who told you to take private orders yourself? I offered you a month of rest, but you didn't want it.]
Qin Hao's face was full of black lines. What do you mean I didn't want the rest time? I had amnesia at the time and inexplicably took an order, who could I reason with?
[Dog Host, could it be that you... can't do it?]
As soon as these words came out, Qin Hao coldly snorted. A goading method? Hmph, I'll fall for it anyway.
"Accept the order! Let me show you whether I can do it or not. This is nothing!"
[Client Name: Ji Ruxue]
[Identity: Little Princess of the Myriad Demon Kingdom]
[Order Request: I want to taste what humans are like.]

Before Qin Hao could carefully read the information, a scorching power exploded from deep within his bone marrow. Dark golden patterns emerged on his skin, like ancient totems, spreading from his chest to his limbs.
Qin Hao's bones were growing, his muscles were restructuring, and his blood turned from red to gold, then from gold back to dark red.
The physical transformation lasted for a full incense stick of time. When the last trace of the dark golden pattern sank into his skin, Qin Hao slowly opened his eyes. In the depths of his dual pupils, there was an extra indescribable color, like a kaleidoscope, and also like an abyss.
Su Qingyue and the others noticed Qin Hao's anomaly and immediately understood. Their man had received another order!
Instantly, the girls surrounded Qin Hao.
When Qin Hao opened his eyes, there were six faces in front of him.
Su Qingyue stood at the very front, looking cold and clear, but something was burning in the depths of her eyes. Jiang Xinyao crossed her arms over her chest, the smile on her lips looking dangerous no matter how you looked at it. Shen Suning was still gentle and soft, but her fingers were twisting the corner of her clothes.
Xia Lingxi lowered her head, her face flushed red. Qin Kexin puffed her cheeks, still holding half a piece of pastry in her hand. Xu Siya stood at the very back, looking as if she wanted to say something but stopped.
"You took another order," Su Qingyue said. It wasn't a question, but a statement.
Qin Hao opened his mouth, but before he could explain, Jiang Xinyao took a step forward. "Fine, go ahead. We won't stop you. But there's a condition."
She extended a finger and poked Qin Hao's chest. The force wasn't heavy, but Qin Hao felt like that spot had been branded by a soldering iron. "You are not allowed to bring anyone else back!"
Qin Hao froze for a moment. Shen Suning nodded beside her, saying gently, "Yes, you can't bring any more."
Xia Lingxi softly added, "There's almost no room left in the house."
Qin Kexin chewed her pastry and mumbled indistinctly, "Exactly, exactly. That Xu Siya from last time hasn't even gotten her turn yet."
Xu Siya blushed at the back, but didn't refute.
Cheng's father told him he was getting remarried—to a wealthy woman. Cao Cheng realized his time had finally come: he was about to become a second-generation rich kid.

Which meant, starting today, Cao Cheng gained four stunning older sisters?? But that wasn't even the whole story... "My name is Cao Cheng—'Cheng' as in 'honest, smooth-talking gentleman'!"
ts me of treason?" "Correct. The host must return to the capital and gradually build up influence." "Wait—I have half a million soldiers, and you want me to go back to the capital to 'build influence'?" "Host, you are currently the Northern Garrison General, loyal to the Great Xia Dynasty." "Of course I am loyal to Great Xia! Absolutely loyal!" "But you keep referring to yourself as 'We'..." "Never mind the details! Summon all the regional commanders and military officers! We suspect treacherous officials are manipulating the court! They shall march with Us to the capital and purge the corrupt!" "......"
