"So that's how it is." Willow Deity said nothing more, instead turning her gaze toward Qin Yao.

"I understand everything about you now. You may stay here for now. Vermilion Bird, take her to find a room, a single room. Pick a nice one." Willow Deity instructed Vermilion Bird to take Qin Yao away.

Vermilion Bird hadn't expected Willow Deity to say this, but she said nothing, simply nodding in agreement before taking Qin Yao to withdraw.

After Qin Yao and Vermilion Bird had withdrawn, Willow Deity let out a slow sigh.

"Shi Hao, what are you thinking… If you continue like this, you will…" Willow Deity's voice gradually lowered.

Elsewhere.

After leaving Willow Deity's room, Qin Yao, who had been taken away by Vermilion Bird, was quickly led by Vermilion Bird to a separate room.

It was a room that blended classical and modern styles, and it was quite large. There was only one large bed, filled with soft, pink bedding, which Qin Yao fell in love with at first sight.

"From now on, you will stay here. Let me introduce you to these household appliances; since it is your first time seeing and using them, I must teach you how to operate them." Vermilion Bird brought Qin Yao along and taught her hand-in-hand how to use some of the modern appliances.

The bathroom was a key point of the introduction, as every room was equipped with an independent bathroom.

In the bathroom, there was a bathtub that could accommodate several people.

The water in the bathtub was connected to the Immortal Pool in the backyard, allowing it to remain clean at all times.

There were also shower gels and soaps made from concentrated precious medicinal herbs.

They were all developed specifically for young women.

Using them could stimulate a young woman's natural body fragrance and enhance her charm.

Qin Yao understood quickly.

"Thank you for the explanation, My Lady. I have already learned how to use them." Qin Yao nodded with a smile.

Being personally taught by Vermilion Bird was something that made her very happy.

This showed that she was valued here, and she already had a guess in her heart about that mature, buxom woman from just before.

That person was perhaps the legendary Immortal King.

Being able to personally see the existence of an Immortal King made her even happier.

"Since you are settled, I will take my leave." After looking at Qin Yao, Vermilion Bird turned and left.

Regarding this person, she felt it was better to let the Master handle it.

Qin Yao also saw Vermilion Bird out.

After seeing Vermilion Bird to the door and watching her leave, Qin Yao closed the door and began to familiarize herself with everything in the room.

She needed to learn quickly so she could integrate into this place.

Evening.

Shi Hao had just stepped out of Yun Xi's room when he was summoned to Willow Deity's room via telepathic transmission.

Seeing that Willow Deity was calling for him, Shi Hao did not hesitate, taking a step forward and vanishing from Yun Xi's doorway.

When he reappeared, he was already in Willow Deity's room.

"What is it?" Shi Hao came over and sat down beside Willow Deity.

"The Saintess of the Undying Mountain has arrived." Willow Deity spoke directly.

This statement left Shi Hao stunned.

"And the situation is beyond my expectations." Willow Deity looked at Shi Hao.

"Shi Hao… She…" Willow Deity sighed. "Perhaps you need to handle this yourself. How you deal with it is up to you."

Hearing Willow Deity's words, Shi Hao fell silent.

"I understand. Where is she? And is my so-called father here too?" Knowing that his mother had arrived, Shi Hao was still somewhat shocked inside.

After all, he could have gone to see them long ago, but he simply didn't want to. He hadn't expected them to come over in person this time.

Perhaps Shi Yi told them?

"Father?" Willow Deity looked at Shi Hao, her eyes looking a bit strange as she said, "She is still a maiden; what are you thinking? Her situation is special, go see for yourself."

Willow Deity told Shi Hao to go find her.

"By the way, her name is Qin Yao." Before Shi Hao left, Willow Deity told him her name.

"Qin Yao? Isn't that a minor demon from the Post-Desolate Era?" Shi Hao was somewhat confused.

The Qin Yao from the Shrouding the Heavens era had run to this Chaotic Ancient Era.

Not understanding, he soon arrived at Qin Yao's room.

Then he pushed the door open and entered.

As he pushed the door open to enter, he happened to see Qin Yao changing clothes in the main hall.

Seeing Shi Hao suddenly burst in, the blushing Qin Yao, who was in the middle of changing, instantly flushed even redder.

Even the movements of her hands froze.

Shi Hao was also stunned; he hadn't expected to walk in at such a precise moment, seeing her on the other side changing into a shirt and black silk stockings.

Shi Hao quickly regained his composure.

"Put your clothes on first." Seeing that Qin Yao was too afraid to move because of him, Shi Hao spoke up to remind her.

Hearing Shi Hao's words, Qin Yao blushed and hurriedly lowered her head to put on the clothes she had been halfway through changing into.

Once she had quickly finished changing, Qin Yao took small steps to come before Shi Hao, bowing respectfully to greet him.

"I did not know the Saint had arrived; please forgive me, Saint." Qin Yao didn't need to think; anyone who could enter her room, and was a man, must be the Saint of the Jade Pool Holy Land.

He was also the Disciple of that Immortal King.

At the same time, the goal of her arrival was to meet her future husband candidate.

"Lift your head." Shi Hao looked at the bowing Qin Yao and directly ordered her to lift her head.

Hearing Shi Hao's words, Qin Yao did not hesitate, lifting her beautiful face, her cheeks flushed, along with her curvaceous body.

Qin Yao was confident that once Shi Hao saw her, he would definitely like her.

Shi Hao looked at the face before him; although it was a bit more youthful, it already held the outline of that figure in his heart.

"Resembles her, very much so." Shi Hao looked at Qin Yao, somewhat lost in thought.

Except for the name being different, Qin Yao was practically her.

But why was she named Qin Yao?

Since the person before him was named Qin Yao, then how did she get here?

She couldn't have just popped out of a rock, could she? Or was his future self causing trouble?

Shi Hao was very puzzled.

Qin Yao looked cautiously at Shi Hao, observing the confusion on his face. Qin Yao herself was also confused.

Why was the Saint wearing such an expression?

"Saint?" Qin Yao asked in a low voice.

Hearing Qin Yao's call, Shi Hao looked at her.

Finally, he reached out and placed his hand on Qin Yao's stunningly beautiful face.

"Saint… I am not ready yet… But if the Saint desires it, Qin Yao will try her best." Qin Yao answered Shi Hao shyly.

Qin Yao was incomparably happy inside; she hadn't expected that upon their first meeting, the Saint would already be interested in her. This made her wish she could throw herself into Shi Hao's arms immediately.

To tell Shi Hao that she was ready.

Hearing Qin Yao's words, Shi Hao did not speak, but instead rubbed her cheeks back and forth, and finally, to Qin Yao's shock, turned to leave.

Seeing the cooked duck about to fly away, how could Qin Yao accept that?

She could see that the Saint definitely had feelings for her just now, but she didn't know why he gave up.

Since the Saint wouldn't make a move, she would have to take the initiative.

Who knows when he would come to her place again after leaving.

With so many women in the entire Small World, even if the Saint took one a day, or even ten a day, by the time it was her turn, it would take at least a month or even longer.

Therefore, Qin Yao didn't want to wait that long again; this was a one-time opportunity, and she had to take the initiative.

She had to grasp the future, grasp her own future.

"Don't go, Saint! I can do anything, please don't go." Qin Yao rushed forward and hugged Shi Hao from behind.
