Urban God-level Youth

Xu Zihang and the others hurriedly raised their wine glasses, downing the contents in one gulp.

When Qin Hao and Dong Mengqi saw Xu Zihang and his group entering, they assessed them. Among these people, Xu Zihang had the highest cultivation, at the Early Stage of Transformation Realm; the other two elders were at Peak Realm Late Stage, and Xu Qingyu was at Peak Realm Early Stage.

This indicates that the Xu Family is not very strong at present, but they are fairly established. With a Transformation Realm expert in the family, they are capable of holding their ground in a city.

After three rounds of drinks and five flavors of dishes.

Dong Mengqi looked at Xu Zihang and said, "It hasn't been easy for your Xu Family to survive till now. You shouldn't have contacted me. The Nan Zhou Dynasty is very powerful now, with countless experts. Contacting me poses a great risk to you."

Xu Zihang quickly said, "Princess, rest assured. Our Xu Family has been in Xiahai City for many years, and people from the Nan Zhou Dynasty wouldn't suspect us."

Dong Mengqi shook her head, "That's not what I mean. My identity has already been exposed, and many people covertly keep an eye on me. However, I came out tonight in disguise, and nobody tracked me."

With that, Dong Mengqi took out a Storage Space Bag from her storage ring, "Inside here are ten billion middle-grade Spirit Stones. It hasn't been easy for your Xu Family to develop until now. This can be considered some compensation from our Dong Family. In the future, you should not contact me again. Focus on developing your family, so your Xu Family can continue for a long time. If there's a crisis, you can send me a message."

Hearing her words, Xu Zihang's expression froze slightly, "Princess, what do you mean by this? I didn't come here today for Spirit Stones. Our Xu Family wants to follow the Princess and restore the honor of the Nandong Dynasty, even if it means the destruction of our family!"

His words were strong and unwavering.

Many ancestors of the Xu Family were killed by the Nan Zhou Dynasty, which is a deep-seated hatred of blood. Every member of the Xu Family dares not forget.

The other two elders of the Xu Family said, "Princess, we are not people who fear death. As long as the Princess orders, our Xu Family will go through fire and water without hesitation."

Dong Mengqi looked at them, a sigh in her heart. In those days, when the Zhou Family hoisted their banner and rebelled, countless loyal ministers and generals of the Dong Family were killed, and numerous people were beheaded.

She looked at Xu Zihang earnestly and said, "With the strength of your Xu Family, you can't play a significant role, only sending yourselves to die. You're well aware of the strength of the Nan Zhou Dynasty. It would be better for you to focus on peacefully developing your family; this is my order. Take these Spirit Stones."

Xu Zihang understood Dong Mengqi's intentions. She didn't want the Xu Family to be exterminated; she was protecting the Xu Family.

However, the Xu Family are all indomitable men; how could they fear life or death? They've lived till now to avenge their ancestors and to wash away the hatred of the family.

Dong Mengqi's expression turned cold, "Is your Xu Family intending to defy orders? I gave you these Spirit Stones to help your Xu Family become stronger, so in the future, you will have the strength to assist our Dong Family against the Nan Zhou Dynasty. Take them!"

Upon hearing her words, Xu Zihang accepted the Spirit Stones, "Thank you, Princess, for your generosity!"

Dong Mengqi: "You should go back. If I need you, I will send you a message through the jade stone. Without my orders, you don't need to seek me out anymore. Just focus on developing your family!"

Xu Zihang nodded, "Yes, Princess. We will take our leave now."

Dong Mengqi nodded calmly, "Go, and if there are any urgent matters, you can send a message to inform me."

Xu Zihang and his people left, taking the Spirit Stones with them as they hurried back to Xiahai City overnight.

Only Qin Hao and Dong Mengqi were left in the private room. Dong Mengqi sighed.

Qin Hao understood her thoughts and said, "No need to be so troubled. The Xu Family are loyal individuals. You've done well. Let them safely develop and survive."

Dong Mengqi wrapped her arms around Qin Hao, resting her head on his chest, "The Nan Zhou Dynasty is incredibly powerful now. I see no hope, and I don't want these people to give up their lives in vain."

Qin Hao said calmly, "You will have hope. What we need now is time. Once you and I both break through to the Supreme Realm, the strength of the Skyfire Dynasty will become even more formidable. At that time, it will be our turn to overthrow the Nanzhou Dynasty!"

As he finished speaking, a terrifying light flashed in Qin Hao's eyes.

Dong Mengqi looked at him and smiled, "Are you helping me?"

Qin Hao: "You are my woman. If I don't help you, should I help the Nan Zhou Dynasty instead? Besides, helping you is helping myself!"

Dong Mengqi held him tightly. She was grateful to have met Qin Hao. Sometimes, being with Qin Hao, she would forget her identity and the mission and responsibility she carries: "How can I ever repay you!"

...

After nine o'clock in the evening, Qin Hao and Dong Mengqi emerged from the room, Dong Mengqi's face flushed with shyness.

She is, after all, the honorable princess of the Nandong Dynasty with noble blood and high status, yet in Qin Hao's hands, she seemed like a woman of the streets.

"I won't come to the tavern with you again in the future." Dong Mengqi said softly, wrapping her arms around Qin Hao's arm.

Qin Hao smiled faintly and said nothing. Dong Mengqi blushed at his words, pinching the flesh around his waist with her jade-like hands.

The two of them disguised themselves as they were before when they left the room and headed towards the academy.

They walked not too swiftly. As they strolled, Dong Mengqi said, "Qin Hao, I have already informed my family about us. Once we come out from the secret realm, I want to take you to visit our ancestral land and meet my parents and clansmen!"

Qin Hao was slightly surprised, "Your ancestral land? Isn't it a place outsiders cannot enter?"

Dong Mengqi said shyly, "You are not an outsider."

As they spoke, they eventually arrived at the gates of the Heaven and Earth Academy. As they entered, Qin Hao clearly felt several instances of Divine Sense sweep over him.

After entering the academy, they returned to the Hidden Dragon Hall on the Hidden Dragon Peak, where Ye Lingyi, Xian Yin, and Ling'er had already gone to their rooms to cultivate.
