Urban God-level Youth

The two of them walked for some time and arrived at the outskirts of the Ten Thousand Demon Mountain Range.

"Young master, would the lady like to join our bounty team? We'll split the loot fifty-fifty." A young man next to them said to Qin Hao and Dong Mengqi, though his gaze was mostly on Dong Mengqi.

After all, it was rare to see a beauty with such exceptional demeanor like Dong Mengqi in such a place.

Qin Hao declined with a calm tone, "No need!"

The young man heard Qin Hao's refusal, a hint of gloom flashing in his eyes, but he kept smiling and said, "If that's the case, then never mind."

After entering the Ten Thousand Demon Mountain Range, Qin Hao and Dong Mengqi quickened their pace. A bounty team followed them silently, dozens of miles behind.

The two of them had already noticed that the team behind was the same group that just invited them to join their bounty team.

Qin Hao's expression turned slightly cold, as the God of War spear appeared in his hand. He swung the spear backward, and a spear light dozens of feet long swept across the sky. Without looking back, he led Dong Mengqi away quickly.

A few seconds later, the spear light reached the bounty team. Before they could react, they turned to ash and dispersed between heaven and earth.

With Dong Mengqi leading the way, Qin Hao sprinted relentlessly, pushing their speed to the limit. Within a day, they traveled tens of thousands of miles deep, rested a night on an ancient tree, and continued their journey the next day.

Dong Mengqi took out an item and said to him, "Keep this fragrant pouch on you. While on the road, if you encounter beasts, it generally won't attack you."

Qin Hao looked at the fragrant pouch in his hand, which emitted a faint, unique aroma.

He was somewhat surprised that this item could deter beasts?

"Stop smelling it, it's the dung of a beast." Seeing him sniff the pouch, Dong Mengqi couldn't help but speak.

Qin Hao was startled upon hearing her words, damn, I wondered why the scent was a bit peculiar, turns out it's some beast's dung.

"Why didn't you say so earlier!"

Dong Mengqi giggled, "No worries, it's dung from the divine peacock. Others might not even get a chance to smell it."

Qin Hao put away the fragrant pouch, "Let's go."

Dong Mengqi held onto his arm, the two flew low, resembling a stream of light, heading deeper.

Indeed, they weren't attacked by any beasts along the way, even when flying over their territories. Those beasts dared not attack them.

So, by evening, they finally reached their destination, standing at the foot of a mountain peak that soared through the clouds.

Dong Mengqi turned to him and said, "We're here! It's here!"

After speaking, she took out a stone and placed it in a recess on the mountain peak. Suddenly, a stone door opened on the seamless mountain wall.

Dong Mengqi led Qin Hao inside, followed by the thick stone door closing behind them. It was a passage, with light stones on either side illuminating the way brightly.

The passage was long; Qin Hao and Dong Mengqi walked for over ten minutes before exiting, greeted by a picturesque paradise of mountains and water.

Streams flowed, fields stretched, and not far was a village with dozens of straw houses standing, lights sparkling.

Dong Mengqi felt a pang of homesickness. She took a deep breath, holding Qin Hao's hand, "Let's go."

The situation at the Dong family ancestral land was rather surprising to Qin Hao; he had imagined a place with towering palaces and grandeur, but before him were only thatched huts and about a few hundred people.

After tens of thousands of years of turbulent changes, the Dong Family had already lost its former glory. The spirit stones acquired back then were now mostly depleted, if not for Dong Mengqi, a young talent, the current village head of Dong Family Village wouldn't have used the last savings on her cultivation.

Before they reached the village entrance, an old man led the entire village out, standing at the entrance watching Dong Mengqi and Qin Hao.

Qin Hao could clearly sense Dong Mengqi's accelerated heartbeat.

Soon they arrived at the village entrance, Dong Mengqi looked at the elder in the center, her eyes slightly red, "Grandpa, I'm back!"

After speaking, she ran over and threw herself into the elder's arms.

"It's good that you're back, it's good!" The elder wore a kindly smile and stroked Dong Mengqi's hair.

"Mengqi is back; it's been so long since I last saw you. You little girl, you don't often come back to visit." A middle-aged woman next to them spoke.

"Yes, yes, your aunt often misses you when you're away."

"Mengqi sister, is the outside world big?" A little girl also asked.

The middle-aged woman hadn't reached the Innate Realm, her face covered in wrinkles, hair speckled with gray.

Around them, most were not strong, with the highest being Dong Mengqi's grandfather in the Grandmaster Realm, others mostly in Postnatal and Innate Realms, with the children only at the Qi drawing stage.

Dong Mengqi left her grandfather's embrace, walked to Qin Hao side, smiling she said, "Grandpa, uncles and aunts, let me introduce to you, this is Qin Hao, my cultivation partner!"

Qin Hao promptly spoke, "Junior Qin Hao, greetings to Grandpa and all uncles and aunts!"

Dong Mengqi's grandfather beamed with smiles, "Xiao Hao, no need to be so polite, please come in!"

Led by Dong Wenhui, Qin Hao entered this Dong Family Village, everyone gathered at Dong Wenhui's home, with Qin Hao and Dong Mengqi seated beside him, others sitting nearby.

Dong Wenhui looked at Qin Hao and asked, "Young man, where are you from?"

Qin Hao replied with a smile, "I was also born in the Ten Thousand Demon Mountain Range, our village is called Qin Family Village."

Dong Wenhui nodded, "How did you and Mengqi meet? My Mengqi lost her parents when she was young, I raised her single-handedly; she may have some rebelliousness, Xiao Hao, please be understanding."

The uncles and aunts around Dong Mengqi also kept asking her questions; they had never ventured outside and knew nothing of the outside world.

Qin Hao said, "Mr Dong, you're too polite. Mengqi is well-behaved, understanding, gentle, and virtuous, not as you described. We met in the Skyfire Dynasty during a big competition…"

Dong Wenhui asked many questions about how Qin Hao and Dong Mengqi met, which Qin Hao answered one by one. Understanding Dong Wenhui's concerns, he didn't mind.

After the questions, Dong Wenhui got up to make dinner for the pair.

Dong Mengqi continued chatting with the uncles and aunts, while a little girl approached Qin Hao, said crisply, "Hello brother, I'm Wan'er."

Qin Hao smiled, "Hello Wan'er."

Wan'er looked at him and asked, "Are you Mengqi sister's cultivation partner?"

"Yes, I'm your Mengqi sister's cultivation partner. From now on, we are family." Qin Hao saw her and couldn't help thinking of Ling'er.
