Zhao Pojun forced a smile at Qin Hao.
"Brother, don't worry. I said it, and I'll do it!"
With that, Zhao Pojun leaned in close to Qin Hao.
"Brother, you solved my sister's marriage arrangement, but haven't you thought about it yourself? Like, becoming my brother-in-law, for instance?"
Hearing this, Qin Hao glanced at Zhao Jinglan.
Zhao Jinglan was watching Qin Hao too.
She wasn't stupid. She could clearly tell that Qin Hao and the Holy Son of the Bloodfiend Holy Land were far from simple acquaintances.
The way the Holy Son of the Bloodfiend Holy Land had acted—he was clearly scared to death of Qin Hao.
That was the Holy Son of the Bloodfiend Holy Land, after all. What kind of identity would make someone like him act like a mouse before a cat?
"He's from the Qin family, but an ordinary Qin family member wouldn't be enough to make a Holy Son of a Holy Land act that way before him!"
Qin Hao shook his head. The matters back home were already more than enough to keep him busy.
And he should bring another one back?
Just the thought of that scene gave Qin Hao a headache.
"Let's talk about that later."
Zhao Pojun wasn't in a hurry. He grinned, reached out, and patted Qin Hao on the shoulder.
"No rush, no rush. Brother, think it over. If you ever change your mind, just let me know. The position of prince consort of the Great Zhao Immortal Dynasty will always be open for you."
Qin Hao shot him a glare and was about to tell him to shut up when—suddenly—
The entire world trembled violently without the slightest warning.
The tremor came out of nowhere, and it spanned an immense distance.
The sky of the entire Lingyao Heaven darkened in an instant, and an instinctive, unsettling dread filled the air.
"What is this?" Qin Hao frowned, looking up at the sky in confusion.
In the sky, a light curtain slowly descended.
Within the light curtain, Liu Ruyan's figure appeared.
"Whoa—, is that a fairy? She's gorgeous! If I could marry her as my wife, I'd happily give up a hundred years of my life!"
Zhao Pojun stared at Liu Ruyan's figure in the light curtain, his mouth hanging open, practically drooling.
Qin Hao, hearing this, immediately kicked Zhao Pojun to the ground.
Zhao Pojun was confused, but he looked delighted.
"Brother, you've changed your mind? Come on, let the storm rage harder!"
Qin Hao was speechless. This guy managed to enjoy that too.
He rolled his eyes. "Scram. She's my wife. If you dare even think about her, I'll wipe you out."
At that, Zhao Pojun shrank back. The chill in Qin Hao's eyes was cold enough to freeze a person solid.
He had no doubt that if he so much as fantasized about the woman in the light curtain again, Qin Hao would genuinely kill him.
"She's his wife? She's beautiful!" Zhao Jinglan stared at Liu Ruyan in the light curtain. Even though she herself was a great beauty, she couldn't help being momentarily stunned.
In the light curtain, Liu Ruyan seemed to notice Qin Hao and turned toward his direction with a gentle smile.
"To all of you across the Three Realms and Nine Heavens, I am Liu Ruyan. Many of you are seeing me for the first time."
"But I believe all of you have heard the stories about me."
"In the Immortal Antiquity Era, the one who single-handedly charged into the Other Domain was me, Fairy Miejue. And now, the Sovereign of the Immortal Court is also me!"
The moment those words were spoken, Zhao Pojun and Zhao Jinglan both gaped in shock.
Almost at the same time, the two of them whipped their heads around to stare at Qin Hao.
People from the Lower Three Heavens might not have heard much of Liu Ruyan's legends, but to the cultivators of the Middle Three Heavens and Upper Three Heavens, those stories were ones they grew up hearing!
And yet, this legendary figure—this living myth—was Qin Hao's wife?
And Qin Hao was here, calling them brothers?
Looking at the two people's shocked faces, Qin Hao smiled and patted them on the shoulders.
"Why so surprised? Let me reintroduce myself. Imperial Son of the Qin Family, Qin Hao."
Zhao Pojun looked at Qin Hao in astonishment.
"What! You're Qin Hao? You're the legendary Imperial Son of the Qin Family, Qin Hao?"
Qin Hao spread his hands with a smile.
"What? Don't I look like it?"
Zhao Pojun nodded. "It's not about looking like it—you are him! Now I get it. No wonder the Holy Son of the Bloodfiend Holy Land acted like a mouse seeing a cat around you."
"So, your identity is truly that terrifying."
Zhao Pojun wanted to say more, but Qin Hao clamped a hand over his mouth.
"Enough, stop babbling. Let me hear what Ruyan has to say."
On the light curtain, Liu Ruyan was telling the people of the Three Realms and Nine Heavens why she had made such a grand spectacle.
"Everyone, thanks to the efforts of the Immortal Court, we have succeeded in opening a passage to the Other Domain! This time, we intend to seize the Great Dao of the Other Domain and use it to mend the incomplete Great Dao of our Three Realms and Nine Heavens!"
"The passage will open in three hours."
"For the first three days after it opens, only cultivators below the Foundation Establishment realm may enter."
"From day three to day seven, cultivators at the Immortal realm or below may enter."
"After one week, all restrictions will be lifted."
"I am casting this light curtain over the entire Three Realms and Nine Heavens to tell you all: this matter concerns the fate of our entire world, and I hope everyone will contribute their share of strength."
"When the two worlds collide and their Dao origins intermingle, before the high-tier combat power arrives, you must hold the line! Seize the strongholds and do everything you can to stamp the Dao origins with the mark of the Three Realms and Nine Heavens."
As those words fell, beneath the light curtain, cultivators across the Three Realms and Nine Heavens raised their arms and roared:
"Unite as one! Defeat the Other Domain! Mend the broken Great Dao!"
Qin Hao looked up at the sky and let out a soft sigh.
"This day has finally come, after all."
In truth, Qin Hao didn't want to see this day arrive.
He had been to the Shifang Jiuyou and knew that the people of that world were just like those of the Three Realms and Nine Heavens.
The two worlds simply stood on different sides—neither was inherently good or evil.
In fact, if anything, the Shifang Jiuyou was the more pitiable side.
At least the Three Realms and Nine Heavens knew who their enemy was. But the Shifang Jiuyou didn't even know who their true enemy was.
They were being manipulated into fighting the Three Realms and Nine Heavens with all their lives.
Once war broke out, countless innocent people would die. If it were possible, Qin Hao truly wished he could resolve this conflict through peaceful means.
But now, that was impossible.
He had already established contact with Ling Shuangshuang.
Through Ling Shuangshuang, Qin Hao learned that in the Shifang Jiuyou, aside from the Divine Court Empire behind her, most other forces had been infiltrated to varying degrees.
The only force in the Shifang Jiuyou that could cooperate with the Three Realms and Nine Heavens right now was the Divine Court Empire alone.
. As long as he maintains the villain image and follows the plot to the grand finale, he can obtain generous rewards and return to the real world. So Gu Chen'an entered the role and began to act as a scumbag villain, but who would have expected that the female leads could hear his inner thoughts. Miss Su from the Su family was shocked: "I originally thought Gu Chen'an was a scumbag, but I didn't expect he turned out to be a gentleman! What? You said I have to call off the engagement? I definitely won't, I'll piss you off!" Bai Yuan Tian was dumbfounded: "Young Master Gu is usually unreasonable and a complete brat, but he actually calls me little sweetie in his heart? What, Young Master Gu even said he likes me?" As the female leads' images collapsed more and more, the plot also collapsed with it. Gu Chen'an looked at all this chaos. "Ladies, don't aggro me, if you keep this up the male lead really will stab me, I still need to survive to the grand finale!"
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?
