Chapter 6

As the Qian family's servants saw their master restrained, they all angrily rushed forward to save him. However, their cultivation was simply no match, and Zhou Hao easily took them all down in a few moves.

"No, I don't want to die! Let me go!" The young master, knowing the terror of the poison, tried to break free from Zhou Hao's firm grip and swallow the antidote. But Zhou Hao wouldn't let him succeed.

"You're afraid of death too? Hmph, did you think about those you killed when you were murdering them? Your life is precious, but are the lives of those you killed not precious too? Those who kill should be prepared to be killed. You should taste the poison of your own arrows!"

The young master, as the poison rapidly spread, found it increasingly difficult to breathe. He looked at Zhou Hao with a pitiful expression, full of pleading, but he couldn't even speak. The feeling of death terrified him, and he knelt on the ground, bowing frantically to Zhou Hao, begging him to spare his life.

"Weren't you just calling me a pile of dog shit? Why are you begging me now?" Zhou Hao looked at the young master with a mocking expression.

After a while, the young master collapsed on the ground, struggling in pain. Zhou Hao quickly approached, grabbed the top of his head, and drained all his cultivation, as well as the怨气 (yuanqi) from his body!

The young master's strength was not weak, but Zhou Hao practiced a unique skill from the Demon Sect, one of the most talented and brilliant legacies of the Four Demon Emperors. Although their realms were the same, Zhou Hao's strength was far superior. The young master's encounter with Zhou Hao was simply his bad luck.

After devouring the young master's thick cultivation, Zhou Hao clearly felt that he was about to break through again.

The young master had committed many evil deeds, and the怨气 (yuanqi) and怨灵 (yuanling) on his body were the heaviest among all the evil people Zhou Hao had killed so far. If he spent some time refining them into demonic energy, the Nine Transformations of the Demon Child should make significant progress!

"Sir, don't go!"

Just as Zhou Hao was about to leave, the villagers blocked his path, all looking at him with difficulty.

Zhou Hao raised an eyebrow, already understanding the situation. It seemed these villagers were afraid that if he left, the Qian family would take out their anger on them. They wanted him to stay as a scapegoat to ensure their safety.

Zhou Hao shook his head and laughed coldly. People are indeed selfish and self-serving. In critical moments, they always think of themselves first. When the Qian family bullied them, they dared not speak out, acting like turtles, watching their fellow villagers be bullied.

But after an outsider helped them, they actually wanted to push him out to take the blame to protect themselves. Human nature is indeed dark.

However, Zhou Hao didn't want to argue with them. After all, they were just ordinary villagers. He said to them, "Don't worry. I will take responsibility for my actions. If the Qian family comes looking for me, you can tell them to find Feng Jianxiao at the Wanmeng Sect. I, Feng Jianxiao, will be waiting for them. I believe they won't be too hard on you."

Hearing his words, the villagers finally felt relieved. Zhou Hao turned to leave, but Shi Lan ran in front of him, kneeling on the ground and pleading, "Sir, please take Shi Lan away from here!"

Zhou Hao thought about it. She couldn't stay here anymore. If the Qian family came, she would surely die. Why not help her all the way?

Zhou Hao helped her up, his large hands holding her delicate, smooth hands. He felt a surge of emotion. Shi Lan was truly a charming woman. If anyone were lucky enough to marry her, they would be very fortunate.

Before his穿越 (chuanchuo) (穿越 (chuanchuo) means "穿越" (chuanchuo), which is a term used in Chinese literature to describe a person who has traveled through time or to a different world. In this context, it means "before he was transported to this world"), Zhou Hao was just a twenty-something, extremely miserable otaku who had never even held a girl's hand. Not long ago, he had a passionate encounter with the so-called first beauty, Su Lianqing, and had already opened his eyes. Now, looking at Shi Lan's beautiful face and her prominent chest, his gaze became somewhat heated, and he swallowed hard, feeling a reaction in his lower body.

After helping Shi Lan up, he reluctantly let go of her hand and said, "Miss Shi Lan, if you want to leave, I can take you away from this village."

"Thank you, Sir!" Shi Lan was overjoyed and bowed deeply. When the Qian family's people forcibly took her, no one dared to stand up for her, and her heart had long been in despair.

Every girl likes to dream of unrealistic scenarios, hoping that a handsome and powerful man will come to save them when they are in trouble. Shi Lan was no different.

In her most desperate moment, she saw this unfamiliar, handsome man step forward and bravely save her. Her heart had already been won. She had been grateful to Li Xiuzai before, but without better options, she had no choice but to offer herself to him. When this handsome and powerful man saved her, her heart began to fall for him.

She couldn't stay in this village anymore. If Zhou Hao didn't take her away, she wouldn't know what to do. As a simple village girl, once she decided on Zhou Hao, she only wanted to stay by his side, no matter where he went, whether as a servant or a concubine.

Zhou Hao would eventually return to the Wanmeng Sect. Given his current status in the sect, he couldn't bring Shi Lan back, and with her beauty, others might have designs on her. Before he had the strength to protect her, he didn't plan to bring her back to the Wanmeng Sect.

So he took Shi Lan to a small town about twenty miles away, bought a quiet bamboo house, and settled her there. After arranging everything for Shi Lan, Zhou Hao was about to leave, but she looked at him with a mix of panic and reluctance.

"Sir, please don't leave Shi Lan alone. I... I'm afraid to stay here alone..."

Seeing Shi Lan's pitiful expression, Zhou Hao felt an urge to embrace her and comfort her. Seeing her fear, he also felt a bit of sympathy. He nodded and said, "Alright, I won't leave."

Hearing that he wouldn't leave, Shi Lan was overjoyed. She blushed and said, "Sir, are you hungry? I'll go and prepare some food."

Shi Lan went to the market to buy food and cook, while Zhou Hao, bored in the bamboo house, returned to his room to refine the怨气 (yuanqi) and怨灵 (yuanling) he had taken from the Qian family's young master. It seemed this young master had killed many people and deserved his fate!

The weather was quite hot, and Zhou Hao found it unbearable while practicing. Thinking he was alone, he took off his clothes, leaving only his underpants.

He quickly refined the怨气 (yuanqi) and怨灵 (yuanling) into demonic energy and demonic souls, then began practicing the Six Desires Demon Art. Initially, he thought it was just a low-level technique for absorbing yin and yang energies, but after his prolonged encounter with Su Lianqing, he found that not only did he remain strong and virile, but he also felt incredibly proud.

Through the Six Desires Demon Art, their energies merged into a yin-yang force, rapidly increasing both their cultivation. The progress was unprecedented! Just a couple of hours of dual cultivation doubled his strength, pushing him from the Meridian Stage to the Initial Purple Mansion Stage. It was truly an unparalleled divine technique in the world of dual cultivation!

As the Six Desires Demon Art continued to circulate, he felt as if his entire body was being roasted by fire, making him extremely uncomfortable. Hot currents continuously rushed to his lower body, making his "little Zhou Hao" stand tall and hard, causing him great discomfort.

"Sir, it's time to eat... Ah!"

Shi Lan, having finished cooking, came in to call him for dinner. She didn't expect to see him sitting on the bed, naked, with his underpants bulging prominently. She blushed and turned to run out, covering her eyes.

After running out, Shi Lan's heart raced like a deer, her face flushed, and her ears burned. She cursed him as a rogue in her mind, but her eyes began to glaze over, and her breathing grew heavy.

Recalling the scene, his sweat-soaked, muscular body, the clearly defined, strong muscles, and the large tent in his underpants made her feel intoxicated.

Shi Lan couldn't help but think, what would it feel like to be held in his strong arms?

Those clearly defined muscles, she wanted to touch and feel. And how could he be so large and long? If...

"Ugh, ugh, ugh, what am I thinking? How can I be so lewd? If Sir finds out, he will surely look down on me," Shi Lan's mind was in chaos, but she couldn't stop her wandering thoughts.

From the moment Zhou Hao saved her, she considered herself his woman. Seeing her beloved's attractive physique, she felt a mix of pride and an indescribable, shy anticipation.

Zhou Hao, startled by Shi Lan's scream, opened his eyes and saw her run out. Looking down at his naked, muscular upper body and the prominently erect "little Zhou Hao," he shook his head and laughed bitterly. He hadn't expected her to see such an awkward scene. How would he face her now?

"Well, what needs to be faced must be faced. I can't hide here forever," Zhou Hao shook his head and laughed bitterly. He got out of bed, dressed, and walked out.

When he reached the hall, he found Shi Lan sitting at the table, her head lowered in embarrassment. Hearing his footsteps, she quickly stood up, not daring to look at him, and stammered, "I... I brought some wine for Sir and put it in the kitchen. I'll go get it."

They ate dinner in an extremely awkward atmosphere. After the meal, to avoid further awkwardness, he returned to his room to practice the Six Desires Demon Art. This time, no matter how hot it got, he didn't dare to take off his clothes.

About an hour later, the door to his room opened, and Shi Lan's gentle voice said, "Sir, I've prepared hot water for you to bathe."

"Uh, I know. I'm practicing now. I'll take a bath later," Zhou Hao didn't want to meet her now, so he lied and said he would bathe later. Shi Lan left, and Zhou Hao immediately jumped out of bed, opened the door, and went to the bathing room.

Shi Lan, also afraid of the awkwardness, went back to her room to sleep. After laying down, she suddenly gasped, realizing, "Oh no, I left my clothes from my bath in the bathing room. What if Sir sees them?"

Her most intimate clothes, her underpants and bra, were in the most visible place in the bathing room. How could a man see a woman's intimate clothes? And if he thought she left them there on purpose to seduce him, that would be terrible!

Without thinking, Shi Lan ran to the bathing room, hoping Zhou Hao was still practicing in his room.

"Ah!!" When Shi Lan pushed open the door to the bathing room, both she and Zhou Hao let out high-pitched screams. The most awkward scene had occurred!
