Chapter 167 Qin Hao's Inner Choice

Central Plains, Jiahao Academy.

After Lin Xiao left, Yu Xiaoshuang also chose to resign from her position as Outer Court Elder.

Now that she had awakened the Red Gold Holy Thunder Spiritual Root, she naturally wanted to go back and slap the faces of her Family members hard.

As for Qin Hao, she really did not want to have anything to do with him anymore.

Don't ask; if you do, it's because she is afraid of Lin Xiao misunderstanding.

After the absurdity of that day, although Yu Xiaoshuang was immersed in the ecstasy of her Spiritual Root Awakening.

But upon reflecting carefully afterwards, the events of that day were truly full of suspicious points.

She knew that everyone had never been interested in her theory classes.

Therefore, regarding the Disciples skipping classes, she had always turned a blind eye.

Everyone was tacitly aware of this, taking turns skipping classes, and there had never been such a blatant act of everyone skipping class at once.

What puzzled her even more was that the progress of her relationship with Lin Xiao that day was far too abrupt.

This feeling was very strange; although she had remained conscious the entire time, it did not seem like she had lost her mind due to drugs.

Yet, the desire in her heart that day was unusually intense.

Combined with the absurd request Qin Hao had made previously, it was hard for her not to suspect that Qin Hao had played a hand in this.

After all, Qin Hao had previously wanted to use her contact with Lin Xiao to awaken the Bloodline within his body.

But this was ultimately just her personal speculation, and she had no substantial evidence.

Otherwise, she would have fallen out with Qin Hao on the spot long ago.

Qin Hao was very puzzled by Yu Xiaoshuang's sudden departure.

Although Yu Xiaoshuang had been privately investigated by Lin Xiao, Qin Hao still considered her his future woman in his heart.

After all, the heart of a Son of Luck was always broad; they never minded if their women were snatched away by a villain.

Qin Hao closed his eyes tightly, feeling his cultivation rising steadily within him, while beginning to plan the seating order of his harem.

"Xianer has deep affection for me and even gifted me a Medicinal Pill. This position of the main palace must undoubtedly be reserved for Xianer."

"Although Teacher has lost her purity, considering she has treated me well and sacrificed herself for my great cultivation cause, I should rightfully grant her the position of an equal wife."

Thinking of the disgusted look in Qin Wanyu's eyes when she looked at him, Qin Hao became furious.

"Wanyu, oh Wanyu, you originally had the opportunity to obtain the position of my equal wife and share this supreme glory with me."

"It is just a pity that you did not know how to cherish it yourself. In the future, even if you kneel and beg me, I can only reluctantly take you as a concubine!"

"I will let you know what it means to regret the past!"

The more Qin Hao thought about it, the more excited he became, and an extremely beautiful scene involuntarily appeared in his mind.

In the scene, there was an ancient palace that pierced the clouds with a magnificent Aura.

The dome of the palace was inlaid with ninety-nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine top-grade star stones, dazzling and eye-catching.

Eighteen coiled Dragon golden pillars were arranged on both sides, and the five-clawed Dragons on the pillars were lifelike, riding the clouds and mist.

The ground was paved with top-grade mysterious jade, surrounded by Immortal Qi.

And directly above the palace, at the end of the purple-gold stairs, sat a Nine-Dragon Sun-Swallowing Chair.

Qin Hao was dressed in a red-gold Dragon robe woven with Nine Heavens mysterious gold thread, wearing a flat-sky crown, looking imposing and majestic.

At this moment, he was the only Dominator between heaven and earth!

On his left side, Gu Xianer was dressed in white clothes as pure as snow, leaning obediently against him, her brows and eyes filled with tenderness.

On his right side, Yu Xiaoshuang had shed her usual dignity, her face full of allure, dressed in a thin, gauze-like neon feather garment, her mature and plump body faintly visible under the light gauze.

And before him.

Qin Wanyu was thinly clad, kneeling humbly on the ground, holding high a gold-inlaid jade plate filled with Immortal fruits with both hands.

On that once unattainable, cold face, there was now only regret and fawning.

"Brother Qin Hao... I was wrong... Wanyu truly knows she was wrong..."

Looking at Qin Wanyu's fawning and begging appearance, the twisted pleasure in Qin Hao's heart reached its Peak.

"Hehe, in the past, you ignored me."

"Now, you cannot afford to reach for me!"

"Hahahaha!"

Qin Hao laughed heartily, holding one in each arm, feeling that the Peak of life could be no better than this.

Seeing the ethereal and beautiful Gu Xianer and the charmingly mature Yu Xiaoshuang each picking up a spiritual fruit, about to feed the fruit flesh into his mouth.

Suddenly, an evil wind blew into the palace, and a massive suction force appeared out of thin air.

Qin Hao only felt his arms become light.

The sensation of warm, fragrant, soft jade instantly dissipated without a trace.

He looked up, and his teeth instantly cracked with rage.

He saw that, at some unknown time, a figure had appeared in front of him.

It was Lin Xiao, whom he hated to the bone.

And his beloved Xianer, Teacher, and Wanyu were all gathered into Lin Xiao's arms.

Gu Xianer, with a blush on her face, held the spiritual fruit that was originally meant for Qin Hao between her two delicate, dripping lips.

Then she tilted her neck slightly and actually fed it into Lin Xiao's mouth in a mouth-to-mouth gesture.

"No!"

"Xianer!"

Qin Hao's eyes were bloodshot, and his rage surged straight to his skull.

He roared wildly, immediately wanting to explode with rage and tear the scoundrel Lin Xiao into ten thousand pieces.

Just at the moment he exerted force, the red-gold Dragon robe on his body suddenly shone with brilliant golden light.

Streaks of golden runes peeled off from the Dragon robe, turning into solid chains, firmly nailing him to the Dragon chair.

He had an incomparably clear and strong intuition.

If he were to shed these shackles, he would instantly lose this cultivation that allowed him to turn his hands for clouds and rain.

Falling back into the dust, becoming the Trash of the Qin Family that everyone could bully again.

On one side was the supreme power and noble status that was within his reach.

On the other side was his beloved, whom he cherished deeply.

Right now, there seemed to be only two paths before him.

Either give up supreme power and cultivation.

Or give up his beloved.

Qin Hao's breathing was rapid, his fists clenched tightly, his nails digging into his palms, blood dripping through his fingers.

"It was not easy for me to counterattack from a mere Trash to this point; how much suffering have I endured, how much humiliation have I received."

"If I give up this cultivation at this moment, what face do I have to face Teacher's cultivation and sacrifice! What face do I have to see my ancestors!"

Qin Hao gritted his teeth tightly, a flash of pain in his eyes.

"I'm sorry, Xianer, I have no choice..."

"But rest assured, no matter whose shape you eventually become, my position as the main palace will always be reserved for you alone!"

Qin Hao seemed to have found a perfect reason to convince himself in his despair.

Watching Gu Xianer become more and more exposed under Lin Xiao's demonic grasp, Qin Hao's back teeth were almost crushed.

Just at the moment when Gu Xianer was about to shed her last line of defense and completely fall.

The magnificent palace, the luxurious cloud couch, along with the figures of Lin Xiao and the women before his eyes, shattered like a broken bronze mirror into spots of light filling the sky.

Qin Hao opened his eyes abruptly, gasping for breath, his whole body already soaked in cold sweat.

He looked around suspiciously, only then realizing that everything that had just happened was merely an illusion born from his Heart Demon.

He raised his hand and patted his chest, looking terrified.

"Phew... Fortunately, none of it was real."

"I knew it, I, Qin Hao, stand tall and upright; how could I possibly watch Xianer be humiliated just for mere cultivation."

However, no sooner had he finished speaking than the expression on his face froze abruptly.

Qin Hao was shocked to discover that the Immortal Vein within his body had quietly awakened a little more after the stimulation from the illusion just now.

His complexion instantly became uncertain.

"An illusion could bring about such a huge improvement; if this were to really happen..."

Realizing that he had actually felt a hint of temptation to sacrifice Xianer, Qin Hao quickly shook his head, forcibly extinguishing this terrible and dirty thought.

"No! Absolutely not!"

"I can sacrifice anyone, but I must never sacrifice Xianer!"

"This Immortal Vein, at worst, I just won't fully Awaken it."

"With my current Aptitude, wanting to enter the Inner Court is already easy."

"Even if the Immortal Vein is not fully Awakened, I can still rely on my own Luck to trample that scoundrel Lin Xiao under my feet."

Qin Hao clenched his fists, his eyes full of confidence.

"Lin Xiao, I, Qin Hao, am the chosen Son of Luck; what do you have to fight me with!"

Meanwhile.

"Achoo!"

Far away in the Primordial Holy Land, Lin Xiao immediately shivered for two and a half minutes.

As the shiver ended, Lin Xiao couldn't help but secretly grumble:

"Hmm? Which idiot is secretly talking about how handsome I am behind my back again?"

[Ding! Congratulations to the Host for obtaining the Taiyin Origin of the Daughter of Luck, Ancestor Qin Ruozhi. Reward: 20000 villain points.]

[Ding! Because the Host bravely acted as the Electric Shock Boy, you have obtained one lottery chance!]

[Although the brave Host is not afraid of difficulties, the necessary procedures must still be followed, so let's symbolically give you a shock!]

As soon as the System finished speaking, Lin Xiao felt a surge of electric current sweep through his entire body.

Lin Xiao: Damn it!
