"My dad was murdered by the Family Head of the Li family, Li Feng!" Li Jiao grasped Qin Heng's palm, her eyes like autumn waters, glistening with tears, her silver teeth clenched as she said, "I'm going to kill Li Feng! I'm going to kill him! To avenge my dad!!"

Her hatred had coalesced into something tangible.

Even with the murderous intent that filled her delicate and beautiful face, it only seemed to add to her charm, leaving no doubt that she might rush out to kill someone at any moment.

Li Jiao gazed at Qin Heng with burning eyes and said, "Please, I'm begging you to help me, Qin Heng. I trust you; you can do with me as you wish. I've never been like this before. You are the first..."

Facing such a beauty who offered herself up for the taking, most men would probably be unable to resist. After all, not everyone possessed such self-control, able to remain untempted in a woman's embrace. Thɪs chapter is updatᴇd by NovᴇlFɪre.nᴇt

However, Qin Heng remained unflustered. He slowly withdrew his hand from Li Jiao's grip, lifted the covers, and wrapped her delicate body in them.

"There's no need for this," Qin Heng gently shook his head, interrupting Li Jiao, looked at her, and said, "Do you think I'm one of those shallow people who'd help you only if you offered your beauty to me?"

"But it's the Li family, the wealthy and powerful family of Suzhou-Hangzhou..." Li Jiao said with some concern.

"And how does that compare to the Divine Sword Sect?" Qin Heng said with a light laugh.

"..." Li Jiao was at a loss for words.

"How about compared to the Sun Temple?" Qin Heng laughed again.

"..." Li Jiao was completely speechless now.

The Li family, no matter how strong or wealthy, was ultimately just a family in the mortal world. It couldn't compare at all to top-tier hidden Martial Dao sects like the Divine Sword Sect or the Sun Temple, which boasted long traditions, some even dating back to ancient times.

Now, she realized it too.

If Qin Heng wasn't afraid of the Divine Sword Sect or the Sun Temple, how could he possibly care about the mere Li family?

In his eyes, the entire Li family was probably nothing more than an ant, easily crushed with a flick of his hand.

"At the beginning, weren't you attempting to stop Li Zheng from provoking me?" Qin Heng said with a smile, "Back then, you were probably afraid I would annihilate the Li family in a fit of rage. How come you've forgotten about my strength now?"

"At that time, I didn't want Li Zheng to die by your hand, and I also feared that in obliterating the Li family, you would vent your anger on my mother..." Li Jiao said a bit embarrassedly, "Later, I just forgot about your overwhelming strength."

Although Li Jiao couldn't be considered brainless, her memory indeed wasn't very good.

"You're just too nervous." Qin Heng stroked Li Jiao's hair and said, "From the Martial Dao exchange meeting until just now, your spirit has been in a state of tension; you should rest properly.

"Go to sleep. I've also booked a room next door. After you wake up, I'll take you to the Li family and help you avenge your father."

"Ah?" Li Jiao's face turned red again, and she whispered, "Actually, I could... I wouldn't mind."

Uttering such words, her body flushed with embarrassment, her voice stammering.

"I mind," Qin Heng said with a light chuckle. "I am of the Immortal Emperor's stature; I'm not what you think. Rest now, and after you've gathered your strength, I'll take you to the Li family tonight, and we'll watch a grand drama unfold."

Having said that, he left the room.

Leaving Li Jiao behind, utterly baffled, sitting on the bed and blankly staring at the door. Just now!

Qin Heng actually said he minded her!?

Li Jiao was bewildered.

Now alone in the room, after being dumbstruck for a long while, she threw off the covers and looked at herself.

Even as a woman, Li Jiao was well aware that her figure and face were definitely top-notch, an absolute beauty!!

At school, scores of suitors pursued her, at least eighty or a hundred of them!

This is the fruit that many desire but cannot obtain!

Such an incredibly fine beauty, with a perfect body and a pure, lovely appearance!!

Yet he actually, just like that, left!!

Qin Heng, Qin Heng, Qin Heng!! Li Jiao's thoughts were in turmoil.

Although she was glad that Qin Heng hadn't really done anything to her, she still felt deeply hurt, her self-esteem wounded!!

I refuse to believe that you truly have such noble self-restraint! In Li Jiao's heart, a dangerous thought sprouted, one she didn't even realize the peril of. Of course, she wouldn't try to act on it right now.

It's inappropriate at this time.

It must wait for later.

「…」

Qin Heng arrived in his room and sorted out his emotions a little.

To be honest, he did feel a little excited just now.

After all, Li Jiao's appearance and figure were truly at the pinnacle of perfection.

In his past life, no matter how high his Cultivation Realm was, he was still just a nineteen-year-old boy, and in this life, he was even younger at eighteen.

Feeling excited was only normal.

However, Qin Heng was no ordinary boy.

Even when faced with such an exceptional temptation, he still held back, maintaining his composure.

After all, I have been reborn. Ah, the passion of youth, haha. Qin Heng shook his head, calmed his emotions, sat cross-legged on the bed, extended his palm, and began to channel his Mana.

WHOOSH!

The temperature within the room suddenly rose, and a golden fireball emerged from his palm.

It was like a miniature golden sun.

This was the Divine Power origin left behind by Zhong Shenxi upon his death, which Qin Heng had absorbed.

"This Zhong Shenxi is indeed not his true body, but a Divine Dao incarnation. No wonder I felt something peculiar when I killed him," Qin Heng murmured with a light chuckle as he observed the mini sun in his hand. "This is quite normal. Huangfu Zhenyang mastered the Divine Dao Method and knew how to condense a God Position, so it's no exception for Zhong Shenxi to have a Divine Dao incarnation."

Qin Heng discovered that the power of this Divine Dao incarnation was exceptionally pure, and it harmonized perfectly with the martial skills that Zhong Shenxi and Huangfu Zhenyang practiced, which involved the Sun God's path. It must be the orthodox heritage of the Sun Temple.

"These sects on Earth are quite interesting, offering not just these extraordinary martial skills but also such exquisite Divine Dao Methods," Qin Heng said with a slight squint and a light chuckle. "If, in the future, a Martial Dao expert comparable to the peak of Foundation Establishment, or even a Golden Core, were to appear, perhaps even I might be overturned."

Because he wanted to comprehend the Supreme Law with the highest efficiency, Qin Heng had no intention of upgrading his cultivation, but that didn't mean he had no means to increase his strength.

For a Cultivator, Mana is just the foundation; the true strength lies in Divine Skills and laws. Besides that, there's something else that can greatly impact a Cultivator's power.

That is, a magic item!

A good magic item could increase a Cultivator's strength tenfold, or even a hundredfold!

However, Earth's Spiritual Energy had been depleted for a thousand years, the world was in an era of Dharma decline, and Spiritual Materials were hard to find.

Making a decent magic item was not easy.

Of course, this was not a problem for Qin Heng.

His gaze turned towards the mini golden sun in his hand. He smiled and said, "Isn't this a material for creating a magic item?"
