Turns out he’s just another bully who abuses his power.

"Ru Yan, you stay here and interrogate him. I'm going to refine his double-pupil eyes."

After saying this, Qin Hao turned and left. His main concern was that with so many people around, he was afraid they might drain him dry.

Qin Hao arrived at the training room of his mansion and saw from a distance a man standing quietly at the entrance. It was his Cheap Dad, Qin Wuyan.

Qin Hao paused mid-step, looking at Qin Wuyan's cold face and heavy gaze. He felt a bit surprised.

"Dad? Do you need something from me?"

Qin Wuyan didn't answer. Instead, he looked Qin Hao up and down, his gaze carrying a hint of scrutiny and a bit of hesitation.

After a moment of silence, Qin Wuyan finally spoke, his voice low:

"Xiao Hao, tell me the truth, son."

Qin Hao's heart skipped a beat, but he kept his face neutral. "Dad, tell you what truth?"

Qin Wuyan stepped closer and lowered his voice:

"Have you been feeling exhausted lately? Sometimes, even when your spiritual power is abundant, you can't seem to muster any energy? Weak lower back and knees? Lethargic?"

Qin Hao looked at his dad suspiciously and let out a cold laugh.

"Dad, are you talking about yourself? I'm in peak condition! Exhausted? Do you think that could ever happen to me?"

In truth, Qin Hao had never felt drained before. But now, with so many people to satisfy, he did feel a bit spent toward the end.

Qin Wuyan's mouth curved upward slightly, wearing an "I know you too well" expression as he pressed on:

"Then do you feel a sense of depletion? Like you've been hollowed out?"

Qin Hao furrowed his brow, puzzled as he looked at Qin Wuyan.

He thought to himself: "Is this really the kind of topic a father and son should be discussing?"

Without a second thought, Qin Hao denied it:

"Dad, that's slander! If you don't know, who does? Your son isn't some weakling."

Qin Wuyan shook his head:

"So I was mistaken. Ah well, since that's not the case, forget it. I was planning to help you improve things, actually."

The moment those words left his mouth, Qin Hao shut up. His eyes darted around.

His previously straight back instantly slumped.

He clasped his hands together, his eyes sparkling as he looked at Qin Wuyan.

His tone shifted from the earlier "tough guy" to a "pleading" mode:

"Dad! Dear Dad! Little noob here! Please carry me!"

Seeing Qin Hao like this, Qin Wuyan couldn't help but smirk:

"Oh? Weren't you just being all tough a moment ago? And now you're like a completely different person?"

Qin Hao shook his head:

"Dad, I was rude and blind earlier. I spoke to you too hastily. It was my fault. Please forgive me."

At this, Qin Wuyan couldn't hold back and burst into laughter:

"Alright, alright. Your dad has a way to make you forever unshakable. Do you want it?"

Qin Hao's eyes lit up:

"Please teach me, Dad!"

Seeing Qin Hao's longing expression, Qin Wuyan finally stopped teasing. He clasped his hands behind his back, gazed into the sky, and slowly began:

"This is something only you can get, since it's related to the Ancient Dragon Emperor. You carry the essence blood of the Ancient Dragon Emperor, so obtaining it should be quite simple for you."

Then, Qin Wuyan told Qin Hao his plan.

It turned out the method Qin Wuyan mentioned required Qin Hao to seize the "Kidney Essence" of the Ancient Dragon Emperor.

It was said to be the foundation of the Primordial Dragon Emperor’s blood and Qi. According to Qin Wuyai, once Qin Hao refined it, he could revel day and night without any issue—in fact, he’d only grow stronger.

Qin Hao’s eyes lit up. “That powerful? So where is this thing now?”

“It’s in one of the Middle Three Heavens, the Myriad Immortal Heaven. That secret realm is already under the watch of the Celestial Court. Just go straight there.”

After learning the location of the Primordial Dragon Emperor’s Kidney Essence, Qin Hao immediately summoned his two personal guards, Ah Long and Ah Hu.

When he saw them again, Qin Hao was full of surprise:

“Hey, you two—just a few months apart, and you’ve already broken through to Half-Step Immortal King!”

Ah Long and Ah Hu grinned at this:

“Young Master, it’s all thanks to the Madam’s efforts. We were both stuck at the peak of Immortal Lord for a while now.”

“The Madam gave us some guidance this past month, and that’s how we made breakthroughs.”

“She also said we should reach the Immortal King Realm as soon as possible. After all, as your personal guards, still being only Immortal Lords is an embarrassment to you.”

Qin Hao nodded and joked with a laugh:

“Not bad! But don’t rush. Reaching Immortal King isn’t so easy. If you really become Immortal Kings, wouldn’t you be at the ancestor level? Then I, a mere young master, wouldn’t dare order you around anymore.”

Hearing this, Ah Long and Ah Hu immediately declared:

“Young Master, rest assured. Even if we become Immortal Emperors, we’ll still willingly serve as your personal guards.”

“That’s right! We swear to be loyal to you to the death.”

Just then, the butler Old Liu approached:

“Young Master, this old servant’s improvement is the greatest of all. I’m already an Immortal King!!!”

“Oh my, I really have no words. Stuck at the peak of Immortal Lord alongside them, both receiving the Madam’s guidance—how is it that I’ve broken through to Immortal King while some others are still only Immortal Lords?”

“If you lack talent, don’t cling to a position you can’t handle! Young Master, why not let me be your personal guard instead?”

Ah Long and Ah Hu glared at him and retorted:

“Old Liu, did the Young Master summon you? Why are you butting in?”

“Yeah, yeah! The Young Master is talking to us—what’s it to you?”

Watching these three squabble like jealous rivals, Qin Hao was speechless. Seriously, the women around me fighting for affection is one thing.

But you three grown men—what the hell are you getting jealous over?

“Alright, alright. I have important business in the Myriad Immortal Heaven this time. Don’t mess up my plans!”

Hearing this, the three immediately shut their mouths.

Ah Long and Ah Hu quickly positioned themselves to the left and right of Qin Hao, as if guarding him, afraid Old Liu might steal their jobs.

“Let’s move out!”

Qin Hao pulled out his jade token.

A white flash, and the next second, Qin Hao’s figure appeared at the entrance of the secret realm in Myriad Immortal Heaven.

He showed his identity token, intending to enter the secret realm, but was stopped.

The guard respectfully bowed to him:

“Apologies, sir. To enter the secret realm, you need permission from the Celestial Court of Myriad Immortal Heaven.”

“We’ll need their cooperation to unlock the seal before we can proceed.”

Hearing this, Qin Hao was annoyed. What? I need their permission?

Do they even know who opened the Celestial Court? My wife!

I turned down being its Lord myself—so a branch court thinks it can throw its weight around like this?

"You know who I am?"

The two guards nodded.

"We do, of course, but please forgive us, Your Excellency. This is the arrangement of the Divine Lord. Without rules, nothing can be accomplished—every action within the Celestial Court must be backed by evidence."

The guards' expressions toward Qin Hao shifted. They had heard of his reputation before—who in the Three Realms and Nine Heavens didn't know the name of the Qin clan's imperial son? They had once admired Qin Hao, but now, meeting him in person, they saw he was just another bully wielding his influence.

Qin Hao was momentarily at a loss for words. Since it was his wife's arrangement, so be it.

With a slightly awkward glance at the two guards, he forced a smile and said:

"Haha, that was just a test I put you through. Not bad—you've passed. As a reward, I'll grant each of you a half-step imperial weapon!"
