Ao Lie could not speak; he could only glare fiercely at Qin Hao, his eyes bulging so much they almost popped out of their sockets.
He wanted to curse, he wanted to roar, he wanted to tell Qin Hao: "In your fucking dreams! Even if I die, I, Ao Lie, will never pull a carriage for a human."
But alas, his mouth was sealed shut by Qin Hao's power, his upper and lower lips glued tightly together, unable to utter a single word.
"Oh, looking at those eyes, it seems you can't wait to pull my carriage! Well, I can't let your good intentions go to waste."
Within Qin Hao's double pupils, a dark golden light slowly circulated, and a half-smile hung on the corners of his mouth.
Ao Lie: "?????"
Who the fuck can't wait to pull your carriage? I want to go home! I want to go home!!!
Qin Hao didn't waste any time. He raised his right hand and began tracing in the air. Soon, a contract brand appeared.
Ao Lie's pupils suddenly shrank. He recognized this brand. Once it was planted, he would become this human's spirit pet and would no longer be able to resist him!
Ao Lie struggled desperately, wanting to break free from Qin Hao's control.
"Woo woo woo—" However, everything was in vain. The overwhelming pressure of the three great physiques fully unleashed was still pressing down heavily upon him. Aside from letting out whimpering sounds, he could do absolutely nothing.
Not far away, Ao Bing, who had been watching everything unfold, could no longer sit still. "Holy shit! This eldest nephew is even more shameless than you! He actually wants my clansman to pull his carriage, how can this be allowed?"
Ao Lie was not just Ao Bing's clansman, but also his biological nephew. There was no way he would let Qin Hao plant a brand on him. However, just as he was about to intervene, a hand steadily stopped Ao Bing.
"It's not very appropriate for an elder like you to intervene in the matters of the younger generation, is it? This nephew of yours has some strength, but unfortunately, he ran into my son, Qin Hao. Letting him stay by Xiao Hao's side to temper himself for a while might not be a bad thing."
Hearing Qin Wuya's words, Ao Bing stopped what he was doing. Tempering him a bit wasn't out of the question. This child Ao Lie had talent that ranked in the top three among the Northern Wasteland Dragon Clan, but his temper... grinding down his disposition might not be a bad idea.
"It's fine, but let me make this clear up front: a hundred years at most. After a hundred years, Xiao Hao must remove the brand. If word gets out that a member of my Northern Wasteland Dragon Clan became someone else's spirit pet, where would I put this old face of mine?"
Qin Wuya smiled and nodded. "No problem."
The two of them looked at Qin Hao in unison, their eyes full of surprise.
Qin Wuya shook his head, his face full of helplessness. "I thought your nephew's attack would be able to test where that brat's limits are, but in the end..."
Ao Lie curled his lips: "This Xiao Hao is truly a freak. What kind of secret technique is that? To be able to increase his cultivation base by so much, and his aura is still so solid, without the slightest sense of floating instability that comes from forcibly raising one's strength."
Qin Wuya shrugged. "You're asking me? I'd like to know too. This kid's fortuitous encounters are beyond my imagination. Forget it, let them be. Young people have their own paths to walk. This world ultimately belongs to them."
......
On the other side, after planting the contract brand on Ao Lie, Qin Hao deactivated his Immortal Experience Card. Ao Lie finally regained his freedom. Sensing that Qin Hao's immortal cultivation base had disappeared, he immediately prepared to attack him.
However, the moment the thought of attacking Qin Hao crossed his mind, Qin Hao had already sensed it in advance:
"Kneel!"
With a single command, Ao Lie was controlled by the contract brand in his body and fell to his knees before Qin Hao with a heavy thud.
"Behave yourself. Your little life is in my hands now, so don't ask for trouble."
"Brat! Hurry up and remove the contract brand on my body! You dare enslave a member of the Northern Wasteland Dragon Clan! Be careful that you don't make it out of the Northern Wasteland alive!"
Hearing this, Qin Hao laughed heartily: "Hahaha, I say, Little Ao, have you still not grasped the situation? You said it yourself, this is the Northern Wasteland Dragon Clan. If your clan leader hadn't tacitly approved, how could I have possibly planted a brand on you?"
"Don't waste your energy. Just stay by my side obediently and be my carriage driver."
"Wishful thinking!" Ao Lie glared at Qin Hao, his eyes full of fury.
"Oh my, it seems you really lack discipline. Attention! At ease! Stand here and take your punishment!"
Because of the contract brand in his body, Ao Lie was completely unable to resist Qin Hao's commands and could only obediently comply.
Seeing this scene, Ao Yu, who was off to the side, was completely dumbfounded. No, the script wasn't supposed to go like this. Why didn't his older cousin ruthlessly teach Qin Hao a lesson, but was instead taken in as Qin Hao's spirit pet?
"Qin Hao!" Ao Yu shouted loudly, his voice filled with anger:
"You, don't go too far! My cousin is a member of the Northern Wasteland Dragon Clan's royal family. What right do you have to plant a brand on him? Your actions are making an enemy out of our entire Northern Wasteland Dragon Clan. Remove it quickly, or else you'll suffer the consequences!"
Qin Hao looked at Ao Yu with a half-smile:
"If you hadn't spoken up, I almost would have forgotten about you. Now that you mention it, it's quite lonely for your cousin to be my carriage driver all by himself."
"As his younger cousin, shouldn't you come over as well? With you two brothers together, you can look out for each other."
Qin Hao's words made Ao Yu's mind buzz, yet Qin Hao continued:
"Don't worry, I am someone who treats everyone equally. I won't play favorites between the two of you. Your treatment will be exactly the same: room and board included, along with a full benefits package. How about it?"
Ao Yu's face turned pale at a visible rate. He cast a guilt-ridden glance at Ao Lie:
"Bro, I'm sorry! Just endure it for now, I'm going to find Royal Father!"
After saying that, Ao Yu turned around and ran. He was so fast that he must have been using every ounce of strength he had since he was a baby.
"Coward! Why didn't you dare to fight him?!" Watching Ao Yu's fleeing figure, Ao Lie couldn't help but curse.
Seeing this, Qin Hao couldn't help but laugh out loud: "Hahaha, he runs quite fast."
After speaking, Qin Hao looked at Ao Lie: "Actually, I can let you go. Just help me find ten members of your Dragon Clan to take your place, how about that?"
Hearing this, Ao Lie turned his head to the side and snorted coldly: "Even if I die, I, Ao Lie, would never betray my own clansmen."
Hearing this, Qin Hao nodded in approval: "You have backbone. Then it'll be you. Attention! Stand straight!"
After reprimanding Ao Lie, Qin Hao immediately activated his Space-Time Spirit Body, circulated the laws of time, and restored his ruined residence to the state it was in a quarter of an hour ago.
Right at that moment, Ji Ruxue, who had been watching from the sidelines the whole time, walked up to Qin Hao with her head lowered and her face flushed. Her pair of fox ears were pressed tightly against her hair, and her tail nervously curled around the hem of her clothes:
"Um... excuse me, could you come with me for a moment? I... I have something to say to you..."
