Urban God-level Youth

Ji Hu's expression slightly changed, but he didn't dare to act. The mere fact that Qin Hao could appear here silently was enough to indicate his formidable strength.

Although Ji Hu was a cultivator at the Peak Realm, he lacked any confidence at all.

Ji Hu said to his concubine, "You go out first. Whatever happens here, pretend it never occurred, understand?"

The concubine also understood the stakes involved. She nodded slightly and hurriedly left.

In the study, only Qin Hao and Ji Hu were left.

Qin Hao sat there unmoving, with a faint smile on his face, looking relaxed, as if he were at his own home rather than in the City Lord's mansion.

This made Ji Hu extremely cautious; someone with such a demeanor was clearly unafraid of the City Lord's mansion.

In his eyes, the City Lord's mansion might just be an ant.

Who exactly is he? Ge Tao, the City Lord of Xiyang City, personally mentioned that this person had insulted the Po Yuan Sect and the King, fearing repercussions from above he issued a warrant immediately.

Ji Hu's mind raced, thinking of many things. Being a city lord wasn't just about strength; the most important element was intelligence.

He looked at Qin Hao and cautiously asked, "You must have a reason for seeking me, correct?"

Qin Hao nodded, speaking very directly, "Cancel the warrant, or I will annihilate your entire Ji Family!"

He was straightforward, without any hesitation.

Failure to cancel the warrant means the annihilation of your entire family.

Ji Hu's heart trembled: "Who exactly are you? You've insulted the Po Yuan Sect and the King lightly. If I revoke the warrant, I fear the family might suffer even worse."

"Who I am doesn't matter. What matters is that you cancel the warrant immediately." Qin Hao's eyes flashed with a hint of killing intent, causing Ji Hu to feel as though he'd fallen into a freezing cavern, cold beyond measure.

Terrifyingly, just a single gaze made me unable to muster any thought of resistance.

Ji Hu: "Canceling the warrant is possible, but I want to know your strength."

That way, he would have a reason to inform those above.

Qin Hao released his aura, and Ji Hu's face changed instantly. Qin Hao's aura was vast as the ocean, surging fiercely; within his aura, Ji Hu felt like a lone leaf in a boundless sea, ready to capsize at any moment.

Too terrifying, too dreadful!

What level is this? Transformation Realm? Or Extreme Realm?

"I am not here to make things difficult for you. My current level is at the peak of the Extreme Realm late stage," Qin Hao said casually.

Ji Hu's face changed drastically, peak of Extreme Realm late stage? Even the King of the Red Wind Dynasty wasn't said to be so strong; reportedly, even the Sect Master of the Po Yuan Sect was merely an Extreme Realm Expert.

Throughout the Red Wind Dynasty, Extreme Realm experts were few and far between; this person was definitely not someone he could afford to offend.

"Respected senior, I was blinded by Ge Tao's deceit in the past. I will revoke the warrant immediately and clear your name, senior. I will also have people apprehend Ge Tao and revoke his City Lord position." Ji Hu promptly showed his stance.

Because Qin Hao's strength was too terrifying, not something he could provoke.

Even the Po Yuan Sect and the King would probably not dare to confront such a master, let alone a mere city lord like him.

Qin Hao: "Whatever you do, I don't care. But if it's not handled well, then don't blame me for being rude."

Ji Hu wiped the sweat from his forehead, "Rest assured, senior, I will definitely handle this matter properly."

"I will be staying at the Song Family for a while. Handle it well; if not, I'll kill you."

Ji Hu's heart shuddered; this senior was so blunt that it was clear in Qin Hao's eyes he was not even considered an ant, killing him was as easy as squashing one.

Qin Hao's figure disappeared from the study; this was truly like coming without a trace and leaving without a trail.

Ji Hu was filled with lingering fear; thankfully, this senior was rather reasonable and didn't use force directly.

This time, the Song Family is likely to prosper. Having such a master residing there is as if their ancestors were blessed by the heavens; had he been staying at the Ji Family, it would have been so much better.

Thinking of this, a glint flashed in his eyes; why was this senior residing at the Song Family, perhaps he had taken a liking to Song Jiaxin of the Song Family.

Ge Tao had told him that Qin Hao was accompanied by two women, Song Jiaxin of the Song Family and the maid Chun Mei; they had truly struck it lucky.

Just being close to such a master and becoming a personal maid would make one benefit for life.

No, this opportunity must be grasped.

He hurriedly summoned the steward, "Have Siting dress up well; tonight I will host a banquet for the esteemed guest."

After doing all this, he began to write reports and sent people to Xiyang City to capture Ge Tao's family. All the men were killed, and the women were detained for Qin Hao's handling.

...

Qin Hao soon returned to the Song Family. Song Kai noticed his return and was even more respectful than before: "Senior, the room has been prepared, you must be tired from the journey, so please rest well."

Qin Hao: "Hmm, do not disturb me if there is nothing important."

At this moment, Song Jiaxin emerged from the rear hall. She had deliberately groomed herself, appearing more dazzling and alluring: "Hao, let me take you to your living quarters."

Qin Hao followed her to the residence; it was a luxurious and grand palace, with Chun Mei and three other maids in tow.

Upon entering the palace, Song Jiaxin's voice rang out crisply, "Chun Mei, you may all leave now."

Chun Mei led the three other maids outside the palace.

Song Jiaxin looked somewhat shyly at Qin Hao and said, "Young master, I'll go prepare the bath for you."

Qin Hao was taken aback: "Such tasks can be left to the servants."

Song Jiaxin smiled, "You need not be polite, young master. You have a noble status; how can those servants suitably attend to you? Besides, you saved my life, serving you with bathing is nothing to me."

After these words, her cheeks flushed red, appearing extremely charming.

How could Qin Hao not understand her intentions? The Song Family wanted to curry favor and seek his protection.

To him, it was a matter of indifference, as long as the Song Family didn't overestimate themselves or try to use him foolishly.

About ten minutes later, Song Jiaxin emerged from the adjacent bathroom: "Young master, the water is ready. You can bathe and change now."

Qin Hao entered the bathroom, and Song Jiaxin followed behind him, speaking with a bashful face, "Young master, allow Jiaxin to assist you in bathing and changing."

Qin Hao did not answer or speak, which was a tacit agreement. Song Jiaxin felt both delighted and shy.

She was delighted that Qin Hao did not reject her. Though this didn't prove he liked her, it did show he did not dislike her.

And that was enough.
