Hearing Qin Hao's voice, the Hunyuan Staff in Shen Suning's hand hovered in mid-air, and she completely froze in place.
She turned her head to look at Qin Hao. When she saw that familiar figure, Shen Suning dropped the Hunyuan Staff with a clatter.
Then, under the dumbfounded gazes of everyone present, she rushed forward, covering the distance in a few quick strides.
“Haohao~”
She threw herself headfirst into Qin Hao's arms, her hands wrapping tightly around his waist. Burying her entire face in his chest, she rubbed against him affectionately, over and over again.
At this moment, how could Shen Suning still look like the fierce and wicked fiend from just a moment ago? She was clearly just a coquettish little kitten.
Qin Hao looked down at the little bald head rubbing against his chest and reached out to pat her head:
“Oh, weren't you acting quite fierce just now? Didn't you say you'd make me pay a terrible price? How come you're diving right into my arms the moment we meet?”
Shen Suning looked up at Qin Hao, then buried her face back into his chest, her voice muffled:
“I just can't be fierce when I see you!”
As she spoke, Shen Suning hugged Qin Hao even tighter, as if he would slip away the next second if she let go.
Seeing this, Qin Hao couldn't help but laugh and shake his head: “Alright, you're tens of thousands of years old, stop acting like an unweaned child.”
“I won't. If I let go, you won't want me anymore...” Shen Suning's voice carried a hint of grievance:
“Haohao, I've already returned to secular life for you. You are my everything now. Don't leave me behind, or I'll be heartbroken.”
Qin Hao reached out and pinched Shen Suning's cheek; it felt just as good as always.
“Then stay.”
As soon as these words came out, Shen Suning's eyes instantly lit up:
“Really?”
Qin Hao nodded gently: “Really.”
Shen Suning cheered and threw herself back into Qin Hao's arms, rubbing against him once more.
Then, under the dumbfounded stares of all the clan members, Qin Hao put his arm around Shen Suning and walked into the formation.
Even long after Qin Hao had disappeared with Shen Suning, the crowd of clan members still stood there blankly.
“Holy shit—”
After a long while, someone finally broke the silence.
“This isn't what I wanted to see! Wasn't that crazy woman going to teach the Divine Son a lesson? How did she turn into a little kitten the moment she saw him?”
“No way! Does the Divine Son possess some secret divine ability? It's one thing that the women around him are all breathtakingly beautiful, but every single one of them is so dead set on him.”
“I've decided. From today onwards, I am the Divine Son's most loyal follower. I beseech the Divine Son to teach me his supreme divine abilities!”
......
On the way back to the residence with Shen Suning, she kept a death grip on Qin Hao's waist the entire time, her head rubbing against his chest like a little kitten terrified of being abandoned by its master.
“Alright, we're at my residence. Let go. You'll be staying here from now on.”
Hearing this, Shen Suning raised her head and looked around. It was an exquisite courtyard with heavenly mountain spring water, filled with a hazy spiritual energy.
“I like it here.” Shen Suning's eyes sparkled.
Qin Hao chuckled softly: “You haven't even gone inside yet, and you already know you like it?”
Blushing, Shen Suning leaned in close to Qin Hao's ear and whispered: “Because this is where you live. I like everything about you.”
The corners of Qin Hao's mouth curled up slightly, and he then led Shen Suning into the main house.
Shen Suning sat down obediently, but her eyes remained glued to Qin Hao, as if he would vanish the moment she looked away.
Qin Hao found her gaze somewhat amusing: “Why are you looking at me like that?”
Shen Suning said earnestly: “I'm afraid you'll run away.”
Qin Hao couldn't help but laugh: “Why would I run? You're staying at my house now. What, am I going to abandon my own home?”
Saying that, Qin Hao took out the Stellar Body Forging Platform:
“I have to go out for a bit to take care of some things. You can cultivate at home by yourself. This is a supreme cultivation treasure I acquired by chance, called the Stellar Body Forging Platform. Even for an Immortal King like you, it will be of immense help.”
Shen Suning's body stiffened abruptly. She looked up, her eyes instantly turning red:
“You're running away again?”
Qin Hao shook his head: “Running away? Where would I run to? I told you, I'm just going out to handle some business and I'll be back in a while. Just stay at home and behave!”
Shen Suning stared at him, her face full of grievance: “Then I'll go with you. Although my strength can't compare to an Immortal Emperor, I'm still one of the best among Immortal Kings. I can help you a lot.”
Looking at the pleading Shen Suning, Qin Hao couldn't help but sigh inwardly. She was the clingiest of them all; none of the others were this attached.
He was going out this time to find Qingyue and the others. What would be the point of bringing along a third wheel?
Thinking of this, Qin Hao firmly refused: “No. If you want to stay, then stay at home and behave yourself.”
Shen Suning looked aggrieved: “Why? It would obviously be more convenient to bring me along.”
Qin Hao pursed his lips. It was exactly because it was inconvenient that he wasn't bringing her. He didn't want to explain anything, simply retorting: “Are you telling me what to do?”
Hearing this, Shen Suning panicked and waved her hands: “N-no, I'm not.”
Qin Hao snorted coldly: “From now on, in front of me, don't make me repeat myself. Just obediently do as I decide.”
Shen Suning was so stunned by Qin Hao's tone that she froze in place. After a brief moment of shock, her heartbeat suddenly quickened, and an unnatural flush spread across her face.
Those beautiful eyes no longer held grievance and panic, but flickered with a strange light.
He's so fierce.
So domineering.
So...
I love it so much...
Watching Shen Suning's reaction, Qin Hao frowned slightly. Why did things feel a bit weird?
Suddenly, Shen Suning leaned forward, hugged Qin Hao's arm, and looked up at him with eyes full of anticipation.
“Haohao, you... say a few more lines like that.”
Qin Hao was stunned.
“Say what?”
Shen Suning's cheeks were flushed red, and her voice carried a hint of excitement:
“Just... just what you said just now. The way you ordered me around...”
Qin Hao's mouth twitched.
What is wrong... with this woman?
Qin Hao took a deep breath. It seemed his previous feeling wasn't wrong. This woman might appear to be an aloof and arrogant Immortal King on the outside, but deep down, she was an absolute little freak.
In order to make Shen Suning stay at home peacefully, Qin Hao patted her head and commanded:
“Shen Suning!”
Shen Suning quickly straightened her back, waiting for Qin Hao's orders.
“First, when I'm not here, make good use of the Stellar Body Forging Platform to cultivate. No slacking off.”
Shen Suning nodded vigorously.
“Second, no running around, and no causing trouble for me. Be good and wait for me to come back!”
Shen Suning continued to nod.
“Third...”
Qin Hao paused, reaching out to lift her chin so she would look directly into his eyes:
“When I come back, I want to see that you've become stronger than you are now!”
“Yes! I guarantee I will complete the mission!” Shen Suning's voice was firmer than ever before.
Qin Hao pinched her little cheek in satisfaction: “Now that's a good girl. I'm leaving now. Make sure you complete the tasks I gave you.”
