Facing Ling Shuangshuang’s accusation, Qin Hao didn’t deny it and directly admitted it.
“That’s right, I come from the Three Realms and Nine Heavens!”
Ling Shuangshuang’s pupils contracted sharply. Without any hesitation, she flicked the longsword in her hand. The cold gleam at the sword’s tip surged, and a sharp sword light shot straight toward Qin Hao’s chest.
Qin Hao activated the bloodline of the Ancient Dragon Emperor, causing a layer of dragon scales to appear over his chest.
“Clang!”
A crisp collision rang out, accompanied by a burst of sparks.
With the defense of the dragon scales, Qin Hao easily blocked the attack.
A slight smile curled at the corner of Qin Hao’s mouth:
“You should know by now—you’re no match for me.”
Ling Shuangshuang neither confirmed nor denied this. She only snorted coldly:
“I’m indeed no match for you, but don’t forget—this is the Celestial Court Dynasty, the Ten Directions and Nine Netherworlds! Not your Three Realms and Nine Heavens!”
“If I expose your identity, do you think you’d have any way out?”
Qin Hao laughed, the smile completely devoid of panic.
Then, Qin Hao suddenly reached out. His five fingers curled like claws as he gently reached forward.
Ling Shuangshuang felt her wrist go numb, her hand trembled violently, and the longsword in her hand involuntarily flew out.
Qin Hao caught it casually, firmly gripping the hilt, and then drove the sword into the ground.
The movement was clean and swift, done in one smooth motion.
Before Ling Shuangshuang could react, the next second, a powerful arm wrapped around her waist.
Then, an irresistible force pulled her forward, and she crashed into Qin Hao’s embrace.
A warm chest, a strong heartbeat, and the faint scent of dragon musk she recognized—all of it enveloped her in an instant.
Ling Shuangshuang’s mind went completely blank.
“What are you doing!”
She snapped back to reality, her face flushing crimson. She pushed her hands against Qin Hao’s chest, struggling desperately to shove him away.
But how could her strength compare to Qin Hao’s physical power?
No matter how hard Ling Shuangshuang tried, Qin Hao didn’t budge, and she ended up panting and out of breath.
“Bastard! Let me go!!! Aren’t you afraid I’ll call for help?”
Ling Shuangshuang gritted her teeth, but her voice inexplicably softened.
Qin Hao didn’t let go. He lowered his head, a confident smile on his lips:
“You won’t do that. If you truly wanted to expose my identity, you wouldn’t have brought me back to your estate. If you wanted to uncover me, you wouldn’t have dismissed the servants first, nor would you have set up the restraining formations.”
Ling Shuangshuang bit her lip and said nothing. Indeed, she hadn’t truly intended to expose Qin Hao.
She wanted to know the truth. Qin Hao’s talent was terrifyingly formidable—he could learn any skill after seeing it just once. If he wanted to, he could easily avoid using the techniques of the Three Realms and Nine Heavens.
So, Ling Shuangshuang felt that his deliberate use of those techniques was more like a test—to gauge her attitude.
Seeing Ling Shuangshuang bow her head in silence, Qin Hao reached out and pinched her chin.
His thumb applied gentle pressure, forcing Ling Shuangshuang’s face up so she had to look directly at him.
“I came to discuss a partnership. The truth is, the Three Realms and Nine Heavens and the Ten Directions and Nine Netherworlds don’t need to keep fighting. Our enemies aren’t each other—we’re both victims.”
Ling Shuangshuang looked at Qin Hao with a complicated expression, then asked in a hoarse voice:
“What do you know?”
Qin Hao wasn’t stingy with information. He directly told her everything he knew about the hidden enemy behind it all.
“That’s the situation. Someone is secretly provoking a war between our two worlds to reap the benefits as a third party.”
After hearing Qin Hao’s words, Ling Shuangshuang stayed silent for a long time, unable to calm down.
After a moment, she finally spoke:
“You want the two worlds to set aside their hatred and move toward peace? That’s impossible!”
“Maybe someone is indeed pulling the strings behind the scenes, but don’t forget the Primordial War between the Ten Directions and Nine Netherworlds and your Three Realms and Nine Heavens!”
“We fought a real war for a hundred thousand years! In those hundred thousand years, how many of our people lost their loved ones to your side? And how many of yours fell to ours?”
“Such hatred can’t be resolved so easily.”
Hearing this, Qin Hao nodded gently:
“That’s true. That’s why I don’t expect everyone to let go of their grudges. It would be enough if some factions could set aside their hatred and join us in dealing with the unknown enemy.”
At that, Ling Shuangshuang shook her head:
“Everything you’ve said is just your side of the story. Why should I believe you?”
Qin Yao looked at her eyes, filled with caution and conflict, and said not another word.
He leaned down and kissed her.
If you won’t believe me, then I’ll have to use the honey trap.
Ling Shuangshuang’s mind completely shut down.
Her eyes widened. This kiss came too suddenly—weren’t they discussing serious matters? And you’re attacking when she’s off guard!!!
“Don’t… stop… not there!”
Soon, Ling Shuangshuang’s body went completely limp. In truth, this was exactly what she wanted.
……
Five hours later, the bedroom was a mess.
Qin Hao looked at Ling Shuangshuang in his arms, a smug smile curling at his lips:
“Well? Can you trust me now? I’ve given myself to you.”
Hearing this, Ling Shuangshuang’s face flushed even redder. She gave him a sharp glare.
“Pfft, shameless. You make it sound like you’re the one who lost something. I’ve given you my first time in two lifetimes!”
Qin Hao tightened his arms, pulling her securely against him:
“Same here. We’re one now. You have to believe me—hurting each other in a pointless war serves no purpose. Only by joining forces to destroy the puppet master can we bring peace to both our worlds.”
Ling Shuangshuang nestled in his arms and nodded gently: “Mm, I’ll listen to you. I’ll seek out those factions that are already opposed to the war and persuade them to stop fighting.”
“As for the hardliners… there’s nothing I can do about them.”
They wanted to enjoy a little more time together, but just then—
“BOOM!!!”
A deafening roar echoed from far away, and the entire ground began to shake violently, as if an invisible giant hand was rocking the world.
Qin Hao and Ling Shuangshuang were both startled. They quickly dressed and got out of bed.
“What’s happening?”
Qin Hao frowned, his pupils instantly splitting into two.
He activated all the power of his double-pupil eyes, piercing through walls, through the estate, through every obstacle, toward the direction of the tremor.
The next moment, Qin Hao’s expression changed.
In the sky, a massive crack split the clouds, and inside the crack, there was a huge, open eye.
Qin Hao was all too familiar with that eye—it was another double-pupil!
An ominous thought immediately flashed through his mind—
Could it be that some strong fighter from the Ten Directions and Nine Netherworlds had also recognized his identity and come to hunt him down?
lity and could only live as an ordinary mortal. He only wished to live a peaceful life. Yet he didn't know— The dog he adopted, because it ate his food, became a legendary demon king. The kitchen knife he casually forged became a peerless divine weapon, causing numerous experts to fight desperately for it. The young disciple he took in became an immortal lord that led an era, due to cultivating the techniques Ye Feng taught him. Even the skeletons he looked down on the most were ominous demon kings that suppressed countless worlds. Many years later, looking at the void shattered with a punch, Ye Feng murmured to himself: It turns out the peerless kings were myself all along...
