Hearing Qin Hao's words, Ao Bing burst into loud laughter, but he quickly put away his smile.
"Kid, do you take me for a fool? I know better than you what kind of person Qin Wuya is. How could he possibly say such things?"
Qin Hao's smile froze on his face. Seriously, how did this guy change his tune faster than flipping the pages of a book?
Ao Bing glanced at Ji Lie, then at Qin Hao, and finally proposed a compromise:
"How about this: I'll give you a chance for fair competition. Let Her Highness the Princess and my eldest nephew here accompany me to the Northern Wasteland Dragon Clan. They will both try to obtain the Immemorial Dragon Emperor Blood Essence at the same time. Whoever gets it, keeps it. How does that sound?"
Facing Ao Bing's proposal, Ji Lie shook his head in direct refusal.
"No. How can a supreme treasure of my Demon Race be tainted by a human?"
"Exactly, Dad! That belongs to our Northern Wasteland Dragon Clan. Why should he be allowed to participate in the trial?" Ao Yu was also very dissatisfied.
What kind of nonsense was this? He had come today to propose marriage. Now, not only had the proposal failed, but the treasure of the Northern Wasteland Dragon Clan was being dragged into it. And to top it off, it was his own father eagerly offering it to the other party.
Ao Yu felt an indescribable sense of depression and grievance in his heart.
Ao Bing glared at Ao Yu and snorted coldly, "What? Does your old man not even have this much authority? Don't forget, I am the Patriarch of the Northern Wasteland Dragon Clan, commanding millions of Northern Wasteland dragons! You shut your mouth and stay out of this."
"Besides, if a treasure cannot be used, what kind of treasure is it? Moreover, is my eldest nephew an outsider?"
Ao Yu didn't dare to lose his temper with Ao Bing, so he could only glare resentfully at Qin Hao.
As for Ji Lie, his expression turned extremely ugly. Ao Bing's words seemed to be reprimanding Ao Yu, but he knew they were actually meant for him.
The Dragon Clan in the south was clamoring for independence every day, wanting to break away from the Ten Thousand Demon Kingdom. If a rift were to form with the Northern Wasteland Dragon Clan as well...
Thinking of this, Ji Lie let out a long sigh and could finally only say:
"I agree to your proposal. However, I also have a condition. If both of them are qualified to inherit the Immemorial Dragon Emperor Blood Essence, priority must be given to Xue'er. After all, this is a treasure of the Ten Thousand Demon Kingdom."
Facing Ji Lie's condition, Ao Bing did not refuse: "No problem. Then it's settled."
Saying so, Ao Bing waved his hand at Qin Hao:
"Eldest nephew, let's go. I'll take you to play in my territory."
Hearing this, Qin Hao hurriedly bowed to Ao Bing:
"Then I'll have to trouble you, Uncle Ao."
Ao Bing led Qin Hao and Ji Ruxue out of the Ten Thousand Demon Hall. Ao Yu followed with an unconvinced look on his face. He stared at Qin Hao's back, pondering in his heart. The Northern Wasteland Dragon Clan was his home turf. Who cared about some Desolate Ancient Qin Family?
Once in his territory, even a dragon would have to coil up, and a tiger would have to lie down. Just watch how he would mess with him. As for the possibility of facing revenge from the Qin Family afterwards? Nonexistent. Given the relationship between his old man and the Patriarch of the Qin Family, he would at most get a few words of reprimand.
On the plaza of the Ten Thousand Demon Hall, a dragon carriage drawn by nine dragons was parked.
Nine massive platinum dragons were lined up neatly in front of the chariot, their heads held high, exuding a vast dragon might.
Qin Hao's eyes immediately lit up as he looked at the dragon carriage in front of him. "Tsk tsk, how grand. When will I get myself a dragon carriage like this?"
"Smack!"
Just as he finished speaking, Ao Bing directly slapped the back of Qin Hao's head. Qin Hao cried out in pain, "Uncle Ao, why did you hit me?"
"Why did I hit you? Don't you know in your heart? You want to imprison my Dragon Clan to pull a carriage for you? I'll beat you without hesitation."
Qin Hao twitched the corners of his mouth. "Don't you have your own kin pull your carriage too?"
Ao Bing snorted coldly, "Is that the same?"
"How is it not the same..." Qin Hao curled his lips. Filled with a rebellious spirit, the more he was told not to do something, hehe, the more he insisted on getting a dragon carriage just like this one.
Sitting on the dragon carriage, Qin Hao couldn't stop sizing up the nine dragons outside. The more he looked, the more tempted he became. He even pondered: what were nine dragons? In the future, he would get eighty-one dragons to pull his carriage!
One of every color. When the time came to drive it through the sky, that grandeur, that momentum...
Just as he was daydreaming beautifully, the back of his head took another hit. "Still haven't given up that thieving thought!" Ao Bing's voice came from behind, carrying a hint of exasperation and amusement.
Qin Hao repeatedly denied it: "What? Uncle Ao, you're overthinking it."
Ao Bing snorted coldly, "Come on. That look in your eyes is exactly the same as your father's when he wanted to steal dragon eggs back in the day. One look and I know you're up to no good."
Seeing Qin Hao repeatedly thwarted in front of his royal father, Ao Yu revealed a look of delight. He then warned:
"Kid, once you arrive at my Northern Wasteland Dragon Clan, don't do what you shouldn't do, don't look at what you shouldn't look at, and don't think about what you shouldn't think about. Got it?"
Qin Hao looked at Ao Yu's face, which practically had "Once in my territory, you must behave honestly" written all over it, and couldn't help but find it somewhat amusing.
Qin Hao ignored Ao Yu, merely shifting his gaze to Ji Ruxue.
Ji Ruxue sat beside Qin Hao, her pair of fox ears standing straight up, the faint pink on the tips exceptionally alluring. She was feeling a lot of pressure right now. Before leaving, Ji Lie had given her a strict order to obtain the Immemorial Dragon Emperor Blood Essence no matter what.
Although she possessed the Ten Thousand Demons Dao Devouring Physique, she had no confidence in subduing the Immemorial Dragon Emperor Blood Essence. The difficulty of subduing it lay not in refining and absorbing it, but in facing the terrifying might of the Immemorial Dragon Emperor.
If she couldn't even withstand the pressure, let alone devour and refine it afterwards.
Just as Ji Ruxue was lost in thought, Qin Hao's hand slipped through the silver hair scattered over her back, his fingertips gently stroking that pair of white fox ears.
Ji Ruxue's body suddenly stiffened. Then she turned her head, glaring at Qin Hao with a helpless and embarrassed look. "You're addicted to touching them, aren't you!"
Qin Hao smiled softly, then sent a voice transmission to Ji Ruxue:
"We are Dao companions now. Doing something like this shouldn't be too much, right? What? Could it be that you want Ao Yu to see that our relationship is fake? Then he'll definitely pester you again!"
Hearing this, Ji Ruxue couldn't help but glance at Ao Yu, finding that he was staring intently at her and Qin Hao.
Ji Ruxue immediately stopped her impulse to dodge Qin Hao. Instead, she leaned back against him with a hint of coquettishness, her shoulder pressing against Qin Hao's arm, and that pair of fox ears fell back into the palm of Qin Hao's hand.
The pink on the tips of her ears had already turned from a light crimson to a deep red, like ripe cherries that would drip juice with a gentle touch.
Qin Hao's fingers gently pinched those thin, soft, and furry ears, playing with them lightly, while not forgetting to shoot a provocative glance at Ao Yu.
Young man, you still dare to threaten me? How is it? Watching the lofty goddess in your heart being played with in the palm of my hand, it doesn't feel good, does it?
Sitting opposite them, Ao Yu watched the intimate actions between Qin Hao and Ji Ruxue, his expression incredibly ugly. On the other hand, Qin Hao had the corners of his mouth slightly raised, wearing a careless smile.
