Chapter 540: Chapter 540 Going to the Weng Family

The deal was struck, and Shi Hao left Weng Nanqing’s residence promptly.

As for the fact that he never saw what Weng Nanqing looked like, Shi Hao didn’t care in the slightest. How she looked had no effect on him, did it?

However, when people saw that Shi Hao came out of Weng Nanqing’s place unharmed, they were utterly shocked.

How could that be?

Xu Zeqi had been beaten so badly before and was still lying in bed. Yet Shi Hao?

He came out completely unscathed, almost like a miracle.

What on earth happened?

Could this be the advantage of being good-looking?

After Shi Hao returned to his place, Xu Zeqi was naturally so angry he almost vomited blood.

He thought Shi Hao had been summoned by Weng Nanqing to get a beating, which kind of delighted him. He pitied himself, thinking that he was not alone in his plight and planned to mock Shi Hao after his own injuries healed.

But who could have known?

Instead of being injured, those two got along quite well. And what could a man and a woman alone together possibly discuss?

No, no, no, not just a man and a woman, but a whole group of women and one man.

Hiss, Xu Zeqi practically drooled.

So shameless, so envious.

"Shi Hao!" he gritted his teeth, barely managed to get up, and stumbled toward Shi Hao, reaching out to grab Shi Hao’s throat, "Spill it, what’s your trick? How come you’re so skilled at charming ladies!

Shi Hao rolled his eyes, refrained from kicking him out of consideration for his being injured, and simply stepped back, saying, "If you could be as handsome as me, then there would be no problem."

"Show-off, just look at you showing off!" Xu Zeqi fumed with hatred. If his strength had been sufficient, he would surely be grinding Shi Hao into the ground by now.

Shi Hao just smiled and didn’t provoke him further; otherwise, if he let him know that he was going to "go home" with Weng Nanqing, this guy’s head would probably explode from rage.

On the other hand, the West Rock Alliance.

"That kid offended Weng Nanqing and still walked out completely unharmed!" Ding Chengjiao said hatefully, his face a mix of confusion and indescribable envy.

That was Weng Nanqing!

Not only was her cultivation extremely high, but her looks were also stunningly beautiful, with her name gracing the Beauty Ranking of the South Wood Continent at fourth place.

"This pretty boy!" Quan Chengli also gritted his teeth in anger.

Even Sha Yutang felt bitter in his heart.

Despite being from the Founding King Court and the head of an alliance himself, he felt utterly ashamed before Weng Nanqing, in both martial arts prowess and other aspects.

Therefore, he could only fantasize about Weng Nanqing in his heart and secretly lust after her when alone, not daring to show his feelings.

——Wouldn’t that be humiliating himself?

Yet now, some nobody from the Eastern Fire Continent had won Weng Nanqing’s heart?

What was more incredulous was that this nobody was the sworn enemy of the West Rock Alliance!

How had this happened?

Shi Hao had clearly offended Weng Nanqing, so why had she taken a liking to him instead?

No, no, no. Knowing how proud and aloof Weng Nanqing was, there must be something he was unaware of; otherwise, how could Weng Nanqing fancy a nobody from the Eastern Fire Continent?

"Put a hold on the plan against Shi Hao," Sha Yutang ordered, "If this causes the Falling Flower Alliance to misunderstand that we’re targeting them, that would be bad."

"Mhm!" everyone nodded in agreement, finding the decision sensible.

...

A day later, Shi Hao set off with Weng Nanqing.

They had all emerged from the earthly grotto not long ago, so they had nearly half a year’s vacation, which was plenty of time to make the trip.

It was then that Shi Hao finally laid eyes on the true visage of the top female student of the academy.

Indeed, she was beautiful.

Her figure was tall and slender, with a stunningly ample chest and rear that formed a wealth of contrasts; with each step she took, she was a vision of charm and grace, inciting irresistible emotions in onlookers.

Her face did not disappoint given such an impressive physique: her eyes were clear-cut and lively, her jade-like face was white and smooth, with contours as if carved by a knife—truly perfect.

Shi Hao appreciated the view for a moment before looking away.

He missed his Little Witch even more.

The Weng Family resided in Taihua City, which wasn’t too far from Guanghao City. Hence, after only half a day, they arrived at their destination.

This was a super-large city, and the Weng Family was its sole ruler, their power unquestionable.

With Nan Qing leading the way, they naturally encountered no difficulties, and upon their arrival at the Weng Family, she arranged accommodations for him. Next up was a performance that would discourage her suitors.

Indeed, although Shi Hao knew of the suitor’s background and strength, he had no specific details, such as the suitor’s family name or given name.

It didn’t matter anyway, it was just going to be a fight.

That very night, Shi Hao was invited out and brought to a grand hall where a banquet was taking place.

There weren’t many people in the hall, only six in total—four who were older, and two young individuals, one of whom was Nan Qing.

Ah, so the other must be her suitor.

Shi Hao looked over and saw a young man appearing to be around twenty-three or twenty-four, tall and slender, genteel and elegant—his looks were certainly not lacking.

The six individuals sat at a long table. Nan Qing was seated with a middle-aged man and an elder on one side, while the young man and two other elders sat on the opposite side.

When Shi Hao approached, Nan Qing immediately smiled and turned to the middle-aged man beside her, saying, "Father, this is my good friend, Shi Hao."

In an instant, five pairs of eyes simultaneously turned to him, staring intently at Shi Hao.

So strong!

Apart from the young man, the other four definitely had cultivation at least equivalent to that of Great Sacrificial Heaven, and even with his domain, Shi Hao could not sense them very clearly.

After all, they too were beings with domains!

"Hmm?"

"Huh?"

The moment Shi Hao’s domain fleetingly made contact, the four individuals all revealed a hint of doubt.

Was that feeling just now... a domain?

But one must realize they were here to discuss matters of marriage, hence naturally they kept their domains retracted to avoid any misconceptions that they were prying. Therefore, that fleeting domain-like sensation couldn’t have come from the other three.

Could it be the young man standing over there?

Impossible, this guy is merely Self-Observation.

If someone at the level of Self-Observation could manifest a domain, wouldn’t pigs fly?

For a moment, the four powerful individuals merely observed Shi Hao without speaking.

Nan Qing had no choice but to continue, "Shi Hao, this is my father, Weng Lekan, the man beside him is my grandfather, Weng Anhe. Over here, we have Elder Du Fu and Elder Du Chen, and this is Brother Du, Du Bei."

Shi Hao nodded and saluted the four strong presences with a fist-hold, "I am Shi Hao. Greetings to the four elders."

Weng Lekan put aside his suspicions; the conversation couldn’t go on being this awkward. He said, "I hear from my daughter that the two of you have already pledged yourselves to each other in private?"

Whoa, don’t play so big, man!

Shi Hao internally exclaimed, if the Little Witch heard this, you might find your hair shorn off in your sleep.
