After hearing Ah Long and Ah Hu reveal Qin Hao's identity,
Zhao Tianci's legs immediately went weak, and he nearly collapsed to the ground.
The Imperial Son of the Qin family?
The Dao partner of the Extinction Fairy!
Zhao Tianci's throat tightened as a chill shot from the soles of his feet straight to the crown of his head.
He felt like crying. Had he checked the almanac before leaving the house today?
How could he have provoked such an exalted figure?
"Your, Your Highness the Imperial Son, I, I didn't know it was you. Please, please forgive my offense!"
Zhao Tianci didn't doubt Qin Hao's identity for a moment.
A Qin family token, accompanied by two half-step Immortal King guards—anyone who saw this setup would believe he was the Imperial Son.
At this moment, Zhao Tianci's regrets were boundless. The reason he had dared to act so arrogantly even after learning Qin Hao was from the Qin family was simply because he relied on the Immortal Court's backing by Liu Ruyan.
But now he had provoked the very man Liu Ruyan belonged to.
Qin Hao coldly glanced at Zhao Tianci as he slowly walked up to him.
"You didn't do wrong. No need to apologize. Indeed, from your perspective, you were just following the rules of the Immortal Court."
"There's nothing improper about that."
With that, Qin Hao turned to Ah Long and Ah Hu and said:
"You two, contact the Immortal Court's chief steward in the Ten Thousand Immortal Realm. Tell him to thoroughly investigate this resource manager of ours."
"If he's been diligent and every move he made was in the interests of the Immortal Court, I won't punish him today. On the contrary, I'll prepare a generous reward for him."
"But if it turns out he's abused his power for personal gain..."
Before Qin Hao could finish, Ah Long jumped in:
"Then we'll kill him! Rest assured, Your Highness! If this man is a petty villain, a hundred lives won't be enough for me to take."
Hearing this, Qin Hao nodded with satisfaction:
"Exactly. Let's go!"
With that, Qin Hao activated his jade pendant and left with Ah Long and Ah Hu.
Thud!
After the three left, Zhao Tianci collapsed onto the ground. Only one thought lingered in his mind—
I'm finished. This time, I'm truly finished.
The things he had done, others might not know, but Zhao Tianci knew them all too well. He couldn't withstand an investigation!
Once they looked into him, he would be exposed.
"No, I have to find a way. Escape! Yes, escape! I'll flee! The world is vast, and I don't believe he can cover the heavens with one hand across the Three Realms and Nine Heavens."
...
Back at the Qin family estate, Liu Ruyan immediately sought out Qin Hao.
She asked him what weapon he had used to defeat the Abyss Iron Oath Mecha.
Qin Hao handed the Vacuum Bubble Gun to Liu Ruyan:
"It's this thing. What's wrong, Ruyan? Do you have a way to mass-produce this weapon?"
Liu Ruyan shook her head: "I can't do it. I'm just curious. You seem different somehow. It seems the rewards you get aren't fixed but random. That's why this deviation occurred."
Thinking this over, she smiled:
"Perfect timing, husband. Through soul-searching, I've discovered that in the Ten Directions Netherworld, many powers—like the Xiao family—have fallen under the control of that formidable force."
"We can't give them time! Do you know? The Abyss Iron Oath Battle Armor, the von Neumann Battle Armor, and the Entropy Annihilator Battle Armor!"
"These three suits of armor can replicate themselves autonomously. Given enough time, they could produce countless copies."
"Combined, the three suits form the Annihilation Doom Giant Battle Armor. Even I need some time to defeat that armor."
"But they can create unlimited copies. The catch is that replication takes time. We can't let them amass enough armor to attack us! We must strike first!"
Hearing this, Qin Hao nodded gravely:
"Alright, I'll follow your lead. You're the Immortal Court's Sovereign now, commanding the entire Three Realms and Nine Heavens."
Seeing Qin Hao so supportive, Liu Ruyan couldn't help but beam a sweet smile.
"Good. Step one is to merge the two worlds and let their great Dao complement each other, restoring the era when everyone could grasp the full Dao."
"Do you need me to do anything?"
Liu Ruyan shook her head: "No. In the current war, you can't intervene yet. I don't need your help. Focus on improving your own strength."
To be honest, hearing his wife say that stung Qin Hao's pride as a man.
But there was no way around it. Liu Ruyan was stating the truth. He was only at the Tribulation Transcendence stage. Though he could unleash formidable combat power, he was ultimately still too weak.
With that in mind, Qin Hao silently said to his system:
"Damn system, cancel my vacation. Send me orders now."
[Annoying host, are you sure?]
"Yes, certain, absolutely certain!"
[Ding! You have a new rental order. Please check it.]
Just as Qin Hao was about to open the order, Liu Ruyan suddenly grabbed him:
"You're going to do that task of renting out Dao partners again, aren't you?"
Qin Hao nodded:
"Otherwise? Didn't you tell me to boost my strength as quickly as possible?"
Liu Ruyan didn't answer him. Instead, she turned and called into the room:
"Sisters, why aren't you coming out? If you're slow, he'll run away!"
As her words fell, eight figures darted straight toward Qin Hao.
"You slipped away for a whole month, and we said nothing. But you really had no self-awareness!"
Qin Hao smirked. He was incredibly strong now, terrifyingly so!!!
Three days later.
A series of groans came from Qin Hao's bedchamber.
"Enough, enough! I've truly had enough! Spare me..."
Qin Hao strode out of the bedchamber with his head held high and his chest puffed out.
"I could take on ten more!"
"System, show me the client information."
[Ding! Displaying client information...]
[Name: Chen Xiaoyun]
[Identity: Young Miss of the Chen family in the Southern Domain of the Hongmeng Heaven (clan now destroyed)]
[Physique: Void-Stepping Phantom Body]
[Request: If you can help me kill someone, I'll be your loyal servant!]
[Current Fortune: Three Stones]
[Accept the order immediately?]
"Accept immediately!"
[Ding! Congratulations, host! You have obtained Chen Xiaoyun's Void-Stepping Phantom Body.]
A surge of power flowed into Qin Hao. He felt an extreme lightness in his body.
It was as if all his weight had been lifted, turning him into a feather, a wisp of breeze.
This strange sensation stunned Qin Hao for a moment. He tried to activate the Void-Stepping Phantom Body and took a step forward.
The next second, he went from the entrance of his bedchamber to the garden a hundred yards away.
"Wow, that's fast! This Void-Stepping Phantom Body is perfect for escape and pursuit!"
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...
for mindless slaughter, this isn't for you.] My name is Ye Shu, and I'm a transmigrator. It seems I'm supposed to be the protagonist, but that feels pretty unlikely. This world has been invaded by a system. The antagonists on the other side have suddenly become pure, flawless saints. The female leads have been force-fed the so-called "original plot," making them think they've been reborn. Now, everyone thinks I'm scum. Including the old lady in my ring. And here I am, in the Monster Beast Mountain Range, braising pork. To put my situation in perspective— It's as if, the moment Xiao Yan stepped into the Monster Beast Mountain Range, the Soul Emperor already knew he would become the Flame Emperor, and Yao Lao had been turned to the enemy's side. I have nothing right now. Oh wait, that's not true. I do have a white-haired loli child-bride who's the Heavenly Dao, and her only skill is acting cute. So, tell me guys... what are my chances of making it to the end?
lan, the Luo family, tracked him down - along with the babies in their arms. Mo Xuan stared pensively at the paternity test results from over a dozen top institutions, both domestic and international, showing a 99.99% match between himself and the two baby girls. At 23, Mo Xuan, a doctoral student, had become the father of two three-year-old children. The kicker? The mothers weren't even the same person! He gradually realized he was being lured step by step into an elaborate trap designed by these two yandere sisters. "Be good, little Xuan. Sister's life belongs to you entirely." "Brother, if you try to run away, I'll have no choice but to tie you up." Mo Xuan: "Do whatever you want, ladies. I give up."
