This unexpected turn of events... wasn't due to anything else, but rather to the onlookers, especially the female cultivators, who frantically rushed towards Ye Hao, their eyes gleaming as if they wanted to devour him whole.

As an innocent child, I had never experienced such a scene before.

Slightly regaining his senses, Ye Hao's voice cracked as he hurriedly fled the scene, looking quite disheveled. All his charisma for the day had been wasted.

This caused a group of female cultivators to feel resentful.

"Brother Hao, don't go! Just one hug, please! Just one!"

I want a kiss!

"Wow, sister, you've really broadened your horizons! That's impressive!"

"I must say, they're incredibly bold!"

"..."

"Brother Hao, don't go, I want to have your baby!"

"???"

"Dude, calm down, you're a guy!"

...

At that very moment,

The emperor and a group of powerful figures from prominent families hurriedly headed in the direction Ye Hao had left.

They haven't had a proper chance to get to know each other yet, so they can't let Ye Hao leave just like that.

As for the somewhat frenzied crowd, the royal guards naturally organized them to leave in an orderly manner.

Not long after,

Outside the capital,

Ye Hao couldn't help but breathe a slight sigh of relief. Thinking about the looks in those women's eyes, they were really quite frightening. The old man in the village was right; women are tigers.

Whew!

at this time,

The emperor and his entourage also arrived, and all bowed to Ye Hao, saying, "Young Master!"

Ye Hao looked at these people and said calmly, "I know what you're thinking, but... I'm still a child and don't want to get involved in worldly affairs."

Everyone: ?!

Child! What child can be like you!

However... to be honest, Ye Hao is still just a child right now!

The emperor then spoke up, "Young sir, we only wish to invite you to be our guest in the capital. We have no other intentions. We hope you will do us the honor of accepting."

"No!" Ye Hao refused. "I need to go back to cultivate. How about this: if there are any life-or-death matters in the Wilderness Kingdom in the future, you can come to Ye Village in the Great Wilderness to find me!"

After saying that,

Ye Hao's figure had already disappeared from the spot. He didn't want to exchange pleasantries with these old folks. He would rather lie down for a while. As for making this promise, it was because the prince had stopped Dongfang Qingxue and Ye Yi. Of course, even if he hadn't stopped them, Ye Yi and Dongfang Qingxue wouldn't have been able to escape. But it saved some trouble. Also, these were all smart people, and he liked dealing with smart people.

Another point is that Master once said that the mortal realm was about to face annihilation, and he had to take on the tribulation. He had to do it eventually, and now that things are like this, it's a win-win situation.

After Ye Hao left,

An old man suddenly exclaimed, "Your Majesty, are you just going to let the young master leave like this?!"

"Judging from Minister Li's words, you can stop the young master? That would be perfect!" The emperor said with a hint of amusement.

The elderly man surnamed Li: ? ? ?

Even with the combined strength of the Dongfang and Ye families, they couldn't harm the other side in the slightest. How could I possibly stop them? I wouldn't dare!

The Li family is at its peak right now, and he's not out of his mind to provoke Ye Hao.

"Your Majesty, that's not what I meant!" the old man Li hurriedly said.

The Emperor replied, "I know that the barren land is in trouble and the young master will lend a hand, that's enough! If we force things and displease the young master, the consequences... ha! Let's leave it at that! If there's nothing to do, don't disturb the young master's peace and quiet, otherwise... I can't bring up past favors!"

As the sound faded,

Everyone responded, "Yes!"

On the surface they were respectful, but in their hearts they cursed the emperor to the bone, saying he was nothing!

Oh!

You bastard, you're a real dog!

What was Ye Hao's promise? He would step in when the Desolate Kingdom faced a life-or-death crisis. But after all that fuss, it was the royal family who ultimately reaped the benefits!

grass!

They were excited for a long time, calculating and plotting in their minds, but what was the result? It was all for nothing!

Damn it!

Damn it!

However... there's no other way. On second thought, this is for the best. As long as the Wasteland is stable, they will be safe. In any case, their power is huge and their families are thriving. The dog emperor won't touch them easily. As long as they don't commit any major crimes, their position is still secure. If the Wasteland is about to perish, it won't be a good thing for them either.

That's fine!

That's fine!

However... if you ever see the young master again in the future, you must seize the opportunity.

Judging from the strength he has shown today, the lower realm cannot accommodate him. Sooner or later, the young master will have to enter the upper realm, and that day will not be far off. Therefore, he must seize every opportunity and never let it be like this time.

...

The scene changes,

Ye Village,

The first thing Ye Hao did upon returning was to seek out his master. He absolutely had to tell his master about this glorious victory. To tell the truth? No! Impossible! He had to exaggerate it to the extreme!

"Actually, I've been watching everything!" Lu Chuan said quietly after Ye Hao finished speaking with great enthusiasm and exaggerated words.

Ye Hao blushed slightly: Ah~! ?

Holy crap!

Master, how can you still disregard martial ethics? Why didn't you say so earlier?

Either interrupt me when I start bragging, or don't call me out on it after I've finished bragging!

You've got some nerve! You didn't stop me from bragging, but then you immediately called me out on it after I finished!

I'm still a child, and I really can't handle this kind of scene!

Seeing the little guy's resentful eyes and embarrassed expression, Lu Chuan couldn't help but smile. "It's not that I can't stop you, it's just that you're talking so intently and passionately that I really don't want to discourage you."

Ye Hao: ? ? ?

Not wanting to discourage me? Master, how could you say such a thing? Put your hand on your heart and tell me, do you even believe what you're saying?!

"Then you don't have to call me out!"

Lu Chuan chimed in, "Bragging at such a young age isn't a good thing. You have to correct that. It will be better for your future, you know?"

Ye Hao: You've already said everything!

And... I feel like this isn't quite what you said? Is it really as you described?

"Alright, let's not talk about this anymore. Come on, I will fuse the Supreme Bone and Chong Tong back into your body, and combine them with the Supreme Ancient and Chong Tong that have been broken and rebuilt within you. At that time, they will become even more powerful, and your cultivation will advance by leaps and bounds!" Lu Chuan said slowly.

The little guy stopped worrying about whether he was bragging or not, and whether to expose him or not; he focused on improving his own cultivation.

There was naturally no resistance whatsoever to the fusion of the Supreme Bone and the Child.

Moreover, the little guy was reborn from the ashes, and the newly formed Supreme Bone and the Rejuvenated Child were perfectly integrated with it.

As a result, the little guy's cultivation level naturally skyrocketed, and his realm jumped several levels.

...

In a flash,

Several years later,

Ye Hao is now a fifteen-year-old boy, and his cultivation level is already unfathomable. In the lower realm, there is no way for him to improve his realm in the slightest.

Now the little guy is just hoping the day of tribulation will come soon so that he can overcome it and go to the upper realm.

On this day

Ye Hao was complaining about being bored as usual when suddenly his eyes lit up and he exclaimed with delight, "It's here!"
