So You're a Little Stutterer

Huangtian Realm

The young girl slaughtered the demonic beasts fleeing in all directions as if venting her anger. Her strength was formidable, with her cultivation base reaching the Body Integration Realm, a full two major realms higher than Qin Hao's.

Every time her spiritual energy circulated, a faint phoenix cry echoed from within her body, exerting a life-level suppression on the demonic beasts.

In a short while, the hundreds of demonic beasts before her were completely annihilated.

After doing all this, Jiang Xinyao picked up a jade pendant. A rental Dao Companion? Heh, what audacity! How dare someone play tricks on me! I don't even look twice at the Imperial Son of the Qin family. Does a piece of trash who relies on pleasing women to exchange for cultivation resources deserve to be my Dao Companion? He's not even fit to be a temporary one!

As she spoke, Jiang Xinyao swung her sword. This strike distorted space, and its sword qi tore through the firmament. Wherever the sword qi passed, mountain ranges were severed in half, and the ground was plowed into a bottomless abyss. A hundred miles of forest were instantly reduced to scorched earth.

In the void, Qin Hao, who had just been teleported here, saw this scene the moment he arrived. His mouth twitched, and he said to the system:

Damn System, is it too late to leave now? This woman is in the Body Integration Realm, two major realms higher than me, and she's covered from head to toe in top-tier magical treasures. She's not inferior to me at all; I really can't beat her.

Orders cannot be canceled after they are accepted, Damn Host.

Hearing this, Qin Hao let out a faint sigh and had no choice but to bite the bullet and step out of the void.

Sensing the ripples in space, Jiang Xinyao abruptly turned around. When she saw Qin Hao wearing a fanged mask, her brows furrowed tightly.

I've only just left the Jiang family's ancestral land, and you cats and dogs have already followed me? You're courting death!

Obviously, Jiang Xinyao had mistaken Qin Hao for someone with malicious intentions toward her. Without hesitation, she drew her sword and charged at him.

Qin Hao hurriedly waved his hands. Wait a minute! I was summoned over by you. Didn't you place an order for me to be your rental Dao Companion?

Looking at Jiang Xinyao, who was dressed in white and exuded an icy aura that pushed people thousands of miles away, Qin Hao couldn't help but sigh in his heart:

My current strength still has a considerable gap compared to the top geniuses of the Ancient Families. I am definitely no match for this person.

Qin Hao's words made Jiang Xinyao pause. She looked him up and down with a suspicious expression. Nascent Soul Realm, a bone age similar to hers, wearing an ugly mask—he was probably an ugly freak, though his eyes were actually quite nice.

So it's you!

Jiang Xinyao's voice seemed to carry the freezing wind of the extreme northern abyss. The longsword in her hand let out a hum, causing the surrounding space to twist unnaturally.

Who gave you the courage to direct such filthy thoughts at me!

As the last word fell, the spiritual energy around Jiang Xinyao exploded. The pressure of the Body Integration Realm poured out without reservation, rushing forward like a tsunami.

Qin Hao felt the bones all over his body creaking, and the spiritual energy within him became stagnant. This made him once again marvel at Jiang Xinyao's extraordinary strength.

Resisting the pressure, Qin Hao curled his lips and said, Tch, I'm filthy? If you didn't place the order, would I have come looking for you? If you think I'm filthy, then don't place the order! What? Trying to play the hypocrite?

Twisting... twisting words and forcing logic! Although Jiang Xinyao was the Imperial Daughter of the Jiang family, she had always been cultivating bitterly in the clan and rarely interacted with her peers. This time, her parents had asked her to go to the Qin family to meet her fiancé. Unwilling to do so, she ran away from the Jiang family in a fit of pique.

Moreover, given her status, no one ever dared to anger her; everyone in the Jiang family always went along with her wishes.

Now, being retorted by Qin Hao like this, lacking in communication skills, she suddenly didn't know how to reply. She even faintly felt in her heart that Qin Hao's words made sense.

Right, if she hadn't placed the order, wouldn't he have not come? Thinking of this, the inexplicable anger in Jiang Xinyao's heart instantly dissipated.

Jiang Xinyao held it in for a long time, and finally could only squeeze out the words twisting words and forcing logic.

Seeing Jiang Xinyao like this, Qin Hao was amused. He thought she was a difficult character, but it turned out she was just a Little Stutterer.

Hey, Little Stutterer, what are you doing here all alone?

Who... who's a stutterer! I... I, I... Jiang Xinyao grew anxious. The more she wanted to prove she wasn't, the more she found herself stuttering!

Hahaha. Seeing Jiang Xinyao's flustered state, Qin Hao laughed out loud. And you still say you're not a stutterer!

I... I, I'll beat you to death!

Jiang Xinyao finally recognized reality. She couldn't out-talk this masked man in front of her, so she would just fight! He was only in the Nascent Soul Realm, while she was in the Body Integration Realm. She could instantly kill him with a single finger.

Jiang Xinyao drew the sword at her waist and thrust it toward Qin Hao. Qin Hao stood with his hands behind his back, his eyes showing no intention of retreating. Anyway, he had the Void Emperor Robe, which could block ten attacks a day.

Seeing that Qin Hao didn't dodge at all, Jiang Xinyao's pupils slightly shrank, and she hurriedly pulled back her strength.

She looked at Qin Hao in confusion. Why didn't you dodge?

Because I'm not afraid!

Why aren't you afraid?

Not afraid just means not afraid.

Jiang Xinyao stared intently at Qin Hao. Qin Hao's eyes were calm, completely lacking the flattery that others in her clan showed when facing her. This immediately piqued Jiang Xinyao's interest. This rental Dao Companion seemed a bit different from the others.

I didn't expect a person like you, who relies on pleasing women in exchange for resources, to actually have some backbone.

After praising Qin Hao, Jiang Xinyao tossed the immortal sword in her hand to him, and then pulled another immortal sword from her storage bag.

I'm in a bad mood! Spar with me for a bit!

Qin Hao caught the immortal sword Jiang Xinyao threw over, unable to help but reveal a bitter smile.

If you just want to use this as an excuse to beat me up, just say so! You're in the Body Integration Realm, and I'm in the Nascent Soul Realm. There's a full two major realms between us. Do you really want to spar, or do you want to take the opportunity to kill me?

Hearing Qin Hao's words, Jiang Xinyao revealed a confident smile.

Hmph, since it's a spar, I naturally won't use my cultivation realm to bully you. Rest assured, your cultivation is at the peak of the Nascent Soul Realm, so I will suppress my cultivation down to the first level of the Nascent Soul Realm. We will fight at the same stage!

Jiang Xinyao was very confident in her strength. Even if she suppressed her power to the Nascent Soul Realm, her strength would still be enough to rival ordinary Soul Formation Realm cultivators.

After hearing Jiang Xinyao's words, Qin Hao's eyes instantly lit up. A fight at the same stage? Haha, then you've really kicked an iron plate. If you fought me with your Body Integration Realm cultivation, I would temporarily avoid your sharp edge, but in a battle at the same stage, just watch me beat you until you cry for daddy.

Thinking of this, Qin Hao smiled at Jiang Xinyao. Miss Jiang, there's no need for you to suppress your strength to the first level of the Nascent Soul Realm. Just like me, keeping it at the peak of the Nascent Soul Realm will do.

By the way, let me make the ugly words clear up front. I won't show you any mercy just because you're my client. You chose this yourself—a fight at the same stage. Don't cry when you get beaten up!

A smile played at the corners of Qin Hao's mouth. A young lady from a top-tier aristocratic family like Jiang Xinyao had the highest opinion of herself. He just needed to ruthlessly crush her spirit and pull out her thorns, and she would become as obedient as a little kitten.

After Qin Hao finished speaking, Jiang Xinyao burst into loud laughter, as if she had just heard the biggest joke in the world:

"Hahaha, stinky man! Do you know who I am? In a battle at the same level, you actually think you can beat me to tears? You think way too highly of yourself!"

Qin Hao shrugged nonchalantly. "Who are you? Aren't you just an unremarkable Little Stutterer?"
