On the other side, Fairy Yuechan, though still maintaining her aloof demeanor, looked at Shi Hao with a hint of subtle complexity and amazement.
This guy always seems to do things that defy common sense.
She sighed softly, seemingly exasperated, and said, "You, you can't seem to relax unless you cause something earth-shattering every day, can you?"
Shi Hao was speechless as he looked at these two uninvited guests.
However, he was too lazy to argue with them. After all, he had just gone through a great battle and really needed to find a place to rest and recuperate, and also to take stock of the "spoils of war" he had obtained after killing the Venerable.
Just then, a majestic yet peaceful voice entered Shi Hao's mind directly through his divine sense.
"Shi Hao, I have already decreed that King Wu and Shi Ziteng have had their cultivation abolished and be imprisoned in the Heavenly Prison for eternity. King Wu's lineage will also be severely punished. Marquis Huangtian, shall this matter end here?"
It was the voice of the King of Shi.
Clearly, although the Human Emperor did not appear in person again, he had been keeping an eye on the situation here, and immediately made the final decision on the Martial King's Mansion after Shi Hao killed the Golden Spider Venerable.
His cultivation was abolished, and he was thrown into the Heavenly Prison.
This outcome was undoubtedly more painful for King Wu and Shi Ziteng, who were once high and mighty, than being killed.
After hearing the Emperor's telepathic message, Shi Hao remained expressionless, simply nodding calmly.
He couldn't say he was entirely satisfied with the result, but it was at least a satisfactory explanation.
He didn't really want to wipe out the entire Wu Wang Mansion, after all, there were still some innocent clansmen there, as well as some elderly people who had once been kind to him.
"I understand," Shi Hao replied in his mind.
Thus, the turmoil surrounding Shi Hao's triumphant return and his rampage at the Wu King's mansion has finally come to a complete end.
Although the process was bloody and shocking, the final result was a great victory for Shi Hao and the complete decline of the Wu King's Mansion.
This news once again swept through the entire capital and even the entire desolate region like a hurricane!
……
Having resolved these grievances, Shi Hao felt a sense of relief.
He glanced at Huo Ling'er beside him, whose expression was equally complex, and at the two fairies and witches with their own differing thoughts not far away. Suddenly, he grinned and suggested, "Let's go. Now that this matter is settled, let's go back to my Marquis's manor! I'm in a good mood today! I'll treat everyone to drinks!"
After saying that, without waiting for their agreement, he grabbed Huo Ling'er's hand and strode towards the "Wilderness Marquis's Mansion," which had only recently been bestowed upon him but was already famous throughout the capital!
Huo Ling'er blushed, struggled symbolically for a moment, and then let him pull her along.
The Moon Fairy and the Witch exchanged a glance, both showing interest, and happily agreed to go together.
……
Huangtianhou Mansion, garden pavilion.
Fine wines and delicacies were once again laid out on the white jade round table.
This time, the atmosphere was different from the last gathering.
Shi Hao sat in the main seat, with the charming and adorable Huo Ling'er beside him, her eyes full of admiration.
On the other side was the Moon Fairy, who remained aloof and holy, but whose gaze occasionally swept over Shi Hao.
And that ever-smiling, naturally alluring witch from the Jietian Sect.
"Come on! Let's drink until we drop!" Shi Hao raised his glass, in high spirits.
"Hmph! You rascal! All you do is drink!" Huo Ling'er scolded playfully, but still obediently raised her wine glass, her pretty face flushed with happiness.
Yuechan also raised her wine cup and nodded slightly to Shi Hao.
Only the witch remained unchanged, always eager to stir up trouble.
She raised her wine glass, leaned close to Shi Hao, her breath sweet and her eyes alluring: "Hehehe... Little brother, you seem so happy today, is there some special 'reward' for your big sister?"
"Go away!" Shi Hao irritably pushed away her face that was leaning in. "You just know how to take advantage of me!"
However, he knew the witch was joking, so he laughed and took out a lot of good things from his storage space!
"Since everyone is here today, I can't be stingy!"
He first took out a jar of monkey wine with an even richer and more mellow aroma, saying, "This is a collector's edition, and it tastes even better than the last one!"
He then took out several Five Elements Treasure Fruits that emitted five-colored light, saying, "Eating these can cleanse the physical body and strengthen the foundation of one's cultivation!"
He even took out a small piece of "demon spider armor" that shimmered with a strange dark light, which he had peeled off from the corpse of the Golden Spider Venerable. "This is a Venerable-level material; it should be able to be used to forge some decent armor!"
Seeing Shi Hao take out so many rare treasures again, even the well-informed witch and Yuechan's eyes lit up!
"Tsk tsk, little brother, your wealth... is really getting more and more substantial..." The witch smiled and picked up a Five Elements Treasure Fruit, taking a bite without any hesitation.
"Thank you." Fairy Yuechan rarely expressed her gratitude, and took a piece of the demon spider's armor to take back for research.
Huo Ling'er was overjoyed and immediately hugged a jar of monkey wine, declaring that the jar was hers!
The atmosphere became lively again.
While everyone was enjoying the fine wine and food and chatting casually.
Suddenly, Fairy Yuechan put down her jade cup, looked calmly at Shi Hao, and spoke slowly, her voice clear and cold, yet carrying a solemn tone:
"Junior Brother Shi Hao."
"Hmm?" Shi Hao looked at her.
The Moon Goddess looked at him and said, word by word, "Your talent is unparalleled, your potential is boundless, and you are a rare genius throughout the ages. This pond in the desolate region is ultimately too small to contain a true dragon like you."
"Our Heaven-Mending Sect is inherited from the ancient immortals. It has a profound foundation, possesses complete supreme scriptures and numerous divine powers and methods, and even has a path to the three thousand Dao states of the upper realm."
"Today, I formally invite you once again, in my capacity as the Holy Maiden of the Heaven-Mending Sect!"
"Join my Heaven-Mending Cult!"
"As long as you nod, you can use any of the sect's resources! You can study the supreme scriptures at will! In the future, you may even have the opportunity to inherit the position of sect leader and become the one who governs a supreme lineage!"
She finally extended a formal invitation again! And the terms she offered were extremely tempting!
Upon hearing this, Huo Ling'er's heart tightened! She subconsciously looked at Shi Hao!
However, just when Fairy Yuechan thought that Shi Hao would be tempted by the generous offer,
Suddenly, the witch also stood up. She walked gracefully to Shi Hao's side, stretched out her slender hand, and gently placed it on Shi Hao's shoulder.
Then, with a soft, alluring voice, she spoke:
"Little brother~ What's so good about the Heaven-Mending Sect? There are so many rules and regulations, you have no freedom at all, how boring is that?"
"How about... joining my Jie Tian Sect?"
"Our Jie Tian Sect emphasizes 'seizing a sliver of hope' and 'following the natural way,' being unrestrained and doing whatever we please!"
"If you join, I promise you! Not only will you be able to cultivate all the secret techniques and supernatural abilities of the sect, but you'll also be able to choose any of the beauties in the entire Jie Tian Sect!"
As she finished speaking, she deliberately winked her captivating peach blossom eyes at Shi Hao and added:
"Of course...that includes me too~"
boom!
The witch's even more explicit and daring seduction instantly made the atmosphere at the scene even more heated and ambiguous!
Huo Ling'er was both ashamed and angry at the witch's posture, which was almost touching Shi Hao, and couldn't help but want to go forward and pull her away!
The Moon Fairy's pretty face was also frosty as she coldly looked at the witch, her eyes filled with vigilance and a hint of barely perceptible annoyance.
As Shi Hao looked at the peerless enchantress before him and felt the astonishing charm emanating from her, he also felt that his composure was being subjected to an unprecedented severe test!
The Heaven-Severing Cult? The Heaven-Mending Cult?
Fairy? Witch?
How...how should I choose?!
Shi Hao felt his head was getting bigger.
Looking at the two women before him, so different in style yet both equally stunningly beautiful, a daring idea suddenly arose in his mind.
Shi Hao cleared his throat, a look of utter innocence and distress on his face, and tentatively asked the witch and Yuechan:
"Those two older sisters..."
"Only children make choices..."
"Can I...?"
"Both...you want them?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the entire room fell silent.
This kid wants it all?
Shi Hao's earth-shattering statement, "I want both," instantly froze the already somewhat delicate atmosphere.
Even with the witch's alluring boldness and the fairy's cool composure, they were both stunned when they heard this incredibly "greedy" declaration, and then rolled their eyes at Shi Hao in unison.
"Pah! Little guy, you're never satisfied, you really dare to dream of swallowing an elephant." The witch was the first to react, and with her slender finger, she poked Shi Hao's forehead in annoyance, but her tone was full of teasing laughter.
Although Fairy Yuechan did not speak, her slightly furrowed brows and the fleeting helplessness in the depths of her eyes revealed her attitude towards Shi Hao.
"Alright, alright, just kidding." Shi Hao rubbed his nose, chuckling awkwardly, realizing that his joke had gone a bit too far.
He also knew that it was almost impossible to "capture" these two equally proud and outstanding beauties from opposing schools of thought at the same time, at least not now.
However, he was just saying it casually, simply to decline their invitation.
The witch and Yuechan did not continue the topic.
For a short while, the atmosphere became somewhat awkward.
Chapter 87: Huo Ling'er's Kiss, A Sleepless Night! People from Immortal Mountain!
A quarter of an hour later.
“Little brother, since you have no intention of joining our lineage for the time being, then I will not force you to stay.”
The witch rose first, her figure graceful. She walked to Shi Hao, reverting to her languid and alluring demeanor, and whispered a gentle reminder, "However, I must still remind you, chaos is imminent in the Desolate Region. Although you are now quite powerful, you are ultimately a target of envy and must be extremely careful. Especially be wary of certain ancient, seemingly reclusive forces that possess unfathomable depths."
Her words were pointed, clearly not just referring to the visible enemies.
Fairy Yuechan also stood up. She glanced at the witch, seemingly somewhat surprised by her rare "kindness".
Then, she nodded slightly to Shi Hao, her clear, cold voice like jade beads falling onto a plate: "The witch is right. Under the great calamity, no one can remain unscathed. Junior Brother Shi Hao, you should take care of yourself."
