Boom!!!
As soon as Qin Hao sat on the stone platform, the entire structure began to shake violently.
Dazzling streams of starlight rose from the surface of the platform, wrapping around Qin Hao layer by layer like countless silver ribbons.
The starlight grew brighter and increasingly scorching, as if it wanted to tear Qin Hao's flesh apart inch by inch.
Qin Hao furrowed his brows slightly.
It hurt. It really freaking hurt.
This kind of pain was no ordinary physical agony. It surged from deep within his bone marrow, a tearing sensation that felt as if his entire being was being ripped apart. Every streak of starlight that landed on his body felt like a knife scraping against his bones.
Qin Hao drew in a sharp breath of cold air. The face of Shen Suning suddenly surfaced in his mind, and he couldn't help but mutter to himself,
That little pervert of hers would probably love this stone platform.
Taking a deep breath, Qin Hao clenched his jaw and allowed the starlight to wash over his body. The light grew brighter and denser.
Silver patterns began to emerge on Qin Hao's skin, the branding left behind by the power of the stars within his body.
Time ticked away.
Two hours, four hours, a whole day.
By now, the pain was dozens of times more intense than when he had first sat on the platform. Qin Hao was trembling all over, clearly on the verge of collapsing.
Phew...
He let out a deep breath, then used every last ounce of his strength to jump off the stone platform.
Damn, that was too intense. Even with my physical strength, I couldn't last a single day.
Qin Hao shook his head with a sigh, then suddenly clenched his fist.
Boom...
The air was forcibly squeezed to the point of exploding by Qin Hao's grip, letting out a crisp, popping blast.
Feeling his current physical power, the corners of Qin Hao's mouth curled up slightly.
Not bad. It hurt a bit, but the rewards are proportional to the effort.
Qin Hao pushed the door open and walked out. He still had a month before his next order, so he planned to use this rare vacation to go find Qingyue and the others.
As he walked out, he saw his butler, Lao Liu, running toward his residence with a panicked expression.
Divine Son, run! Your enemy has come knocking! Lao Liu shouted at Qin Hao.
Qin Hao frowned. Enemy? Which enemy? Who has the guts to come looking for revenge in my Qin family's territory? They're pretty bold.
What's their strength? Do I even need to run? With so many Immortal Emperor and Immortal King ancestors in my Qin family, are they just here for decoration?
Lao Liu shook his head repeatedly. Divine Son, that woman is terrifying! She tried to force her way into the Qin family. Three of our Immortal King ancestors went to stop her, but even with the three of them joining forces, they were no match for her alone.
Originally, an Immortal Emperor ancestor was going to intervene, but the Patriarch spoke up. He said this is a mess you stirred up, so you have to settle it yourself. That woman clearly comes with ill intentions. Divine Son, did you do something to wrong her?
Qin Hao's mouth twitched. How could something entirely consensual be called wronging her?
Divine Son, you'd better go hide. That woman declared that she's going to drag you back and, every day... every day...
Qin Hao looked at Lao Liu suspiciously and asked, Every day what?
The old butler, who had served Qin Hao for twenty years, blushed bright red. He gave Qin Hao a deep look and sighed.
I... I am truly too ashamed to say it out loud.
Looking at Lao Liu's flushed face, Qin Hao instantly understood. Shen Suning must have spouted some wild, explicit words.
Qin Hao shook his head helplessly and said, Hiding isn't my style. Where is she? Take me to see her.
Lao Liu was stunned. Divine Son, are you really going out? I'm honestly worried she's going to eat you alive until not even your bones are left.
Qin Hao waved his hand, signaling Lao Liu not to worry. I know what I'm doing.
Seeing this, Lao Liu explained, She wanted to force her way into the Qin family, but our territory isn't a place just anyone can enter. Even though the Patriarch ordered us not to deal with her, she still couldn't break through the family's defensive array. Right now, she's outside attacking the barrier.
Speaking up to this point, Lao Liu urged once more, Divine Son, please reconsider. That woman is incredibly fierce.
Hearing this, Qin Hao looked Lao Liu up and down, let out a light chuckle, and said,
Lao Liu, don't look at others through tinted glasses. There are no fierce women in this world, only men who don't know how to tame them.
Hearing Qin Hao's words, Lao Liu treated it as nothing but hot air. It sounded nice, but just look at your face compared to mine. If I had your face, I'd be exactly like you, changing partners every month without ever repeating.
However, since his Divine Son had said so, Lao Liu stopped worrying. He figured the Divine Son had his own methods. If worse came to worst, he could always just sell his looks.
At the edge of the Qin family territory, ripples continuously spread across the massive light screen of the grand defensive array. The entire formation was trembling.
Outside the light screen, Shen Suning, dressed in a loose robe and gripping the Primordial Staff, was frantically attacking the array.
With every smash, she cursed loudly,
Qin Hao! Come out right now!!! I know you're in there!
You think you can just run away after playing with me? There's no such easy thing in this world!
The surrounding Qin family guards exchanged bewildered glances.
Wait, what did the Divine Son do to this female Immortal King? Did he abandon her after having his way?
Tsk, tsk, tsk. The Divine Son is in for it now. The Patriarch forbade the ancestors from stepping in, making it clear he has to clean up his own mess. Looking at how furious this female Immortal King is, the Divine Son might just get skinned alive.
A male cultivator in the clan couldn't help but smack his lips. Honestly, I envy every single day of the Divine Son's life. Previously, at the ancestor's birthday banquet, the Divine Daughter of the Jiang family and the Saintess of the Profound Heaven Holy Land were fighting over him out of jealousy. Now, a female Immortal King has shown up. If I'm not mistaken, she's the master of the Wangchen Nunnery.
Didn't they say the nuns of Wangchen Nunnery hate men to the bone? Any male cultivator who appears within miles of their nunnery gets beaten half to death. How could the Divine Son have a history with the nunnery's master? Could it be that our Divine Son took advantage of her when she was vulnerable?
You know what, that really sounds like something a member of our Qin family would do!
Stepping out of the estate, Qin Hao heard the gossip of the surrounding crowd and almost blacked out. What do you mean 'that sounds like something a member of the Qin family would do'? Aren't you guys from the Qin family too?
Qin Hao shook his head, ignored the gossiping clansmen, and took large strides toward Shen Suning.
Ahem!
Qin Hao coughed lightly, and then his lazy voice reached Shen Suning's ears.
I don't like women with violent tendencies.
The surrounding Qin family members couldn't hold back their laughter upon hearing Qin Hao's words.
Pfft... Is the Divine Son being serious? Does he not understand the situation at all?
She's here to collect a debt, not to throw herself into your arms! You don't like women with violent tendencies? Her violence is specifically meant to deal with you!
Whispers rose and fell among the crowd, but in the very next second, these people would deeply regret staying to watch this drama.

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!
