Everyone present was stunned by the Empress's words.
The most shocked person was probably Qin Hao.
Qin Hao hadn't expected that this Empress actually wanted him to be her husband. But did he really have that much charm?
Another point is, if he's going to be my husband, why did he have to take me as his apprentice first? Does he just enjoy a teacher-student relationship like Yang Guo and Xiaolongnü?
Furthermore, the two Jade Pool disciples who brought him back, and the mecha guard who witnessed his 17 laws and two bloodlines in the palace, all seem to have mysteriously disappeared long ago.
Could it be that the Empress killed them to cover it up?
Is his goal to marry me?
Qin Hao couldn't understand it; no matter how he thought about it, he couldn't believe that the Empress didn't want to marry him.
Currently, the first hypothesis—that he accepted me as his personal disciple because of his exceptional talent—is incorrect.
It can only be the second or third conjecture. Qin Hao is more inclined to the second conjecture: the Empress has taken a liking to his Chaos Dao Body and is attempting to seize his physique.
At this moment, an elder from the Jade Pool Holy Land suddenly said, "Empress Majesty, this matter is perhaps inappropriate!"
One elder took the lead, and the other elders shouted in unison, "Yes, Your Empress, this is inappropriate!"
It has to be said that although the Kaiyuan Universe is technologically advanced, its ideology is not much different from that of feudal China.
At this moment, the Grand Elder said, "Empress, our Jade Pool has never had male disciples since ancient times, let alone the concept of a Holy Son."
"Qin Hao's talent is so exceptional that we agreed to appoint him as a Holy Son."
"However, as the Empress, you should be nurturing a Holy Maiden to lead my Jade Pool clan in the future. But what you've done is both bestowing a title upon a Holy Son and planning to marry him. What kind of decorum is this?"
Thus, all the elders in the palace were now vehemently opposing the Empress's marriage to Qin Hao.
However, the Empress on the high throne had an icy expression, even though her face was covered by a veil.
However, everyone present could feel that tangible, icy aura.
"Hmph, you're telling me what to do? I've only achieved Jade Pool have today because I've advanced to the Martial Emperor Second Stage. What use are you all, besides cultivating and managing the entire Jade Pool?"
Upon hearing the Empress's words, all the elders' lips twitched violently, but there was nothing they could do.
"Alright, that's settled then. I called everyone here today to inform you, not to discuss anything with you. You can go back to your work now!"
After speaking, the Empress looked at Qin Hao, then instructed the maids beside her, "From this day forward, you will stay by the Holy Son's side day and night. Wherever the Holy Son is, you will be there!"
"Also, in three days, you need to make sure he looks handsome!"
The maids quickly nodded to the Empress and replied, "Yes!"
Then, the Empress left the palace, and the elders also left one after another with helpless expressions.
As for those maids, they were no ordinary people. They immediately led Qin Hao back to the Holy Son's residence.
It really was the case that wherever Qin Hao was, these maids were there too.
Holy Son, these maids watched Qin Hao a bath.
Qin Hao was so afraid to take a bath that he didn't dare to take one until the third day when several maids forced him to take a bath.
Don't underestimate these maids; they are quite strong, each possessing the strength of the Martial Sect. Qin Hao, who is only at the Martial Marquis Fourth Stage, is naturally no match for them.
After giving Qin Hao a bath, she immediately dressed him up nicely.
For a moment, Qin Hao's handsome appearance captivated the maids, leaving them completely mesmerized.
However, given the mission given by the Empress, she quickly regained her senses.
After the grand ceremony, Qin Hao was taken to the Empress's wedding ceremony.
Inside the hall, the Empress wore a long red bridal gown and a red veil.
Then, the Grand Elder announced, "First bow to Heaven and Earth, second bow to the parents, husband and wife bow to each other, then escort them to the bridal chamber!"
After all this was over, Qin Hao and the Empress went to the Empress's boudoir.
The two sat on the bed in silence for a long time.
At this moment, the Empress spoke up, "Didn't you ask me what the effect of that secret technique was? Quickly lift my veil, let's consummate our marriage. After we consummate our marriage, you'll know!"
Upon hearing this, Qin Hao turned around in shock and looked at the Empress.
He couldn't discern the Empress 'Empress expression beneath the red veil, but he guessed it must be extremely cold.
Seeing Qin Hao still hesitating, the Empress urged again, "What are you waiting for? Hurry up!"
Qin Hao swallowed hard, then stood up, picked up the wedding scales, and carefully lifted the Empress's veil.
Upon seeing the Empress's stunningly beautiful face, her fair neck, and her well-developed breasts, the first thought that flashed through my mind was, "Beautiful, absolutely gorgeous!"
Qin Hao was stunned for a moment.
The Empress then asked, "Is it beautiful?"
Qin Hao blurted out instinctively, "Beautiful!"
However, he quickly realized his mistake and said, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, Master, I didn't mean to!"
At this moment, Qin Hao seemed to have lost all his composure, instantly becoming like a silly boy.
However, the Empress then spoke up, "Don't call me master. From this day forward, I am no longer your master, but your wife!"
Upon hearing this, Qin Hao stared at the Empress in shock.
The Empress remained expressionless, devoid of any warmth.
Qin Hao even clearly sensed a hint of disgust in the Empress's eyes.
Before Qin Hao could speak, the Empress reached out and hugged Qin Hao, then quickly placed a restriction on Qin Hao.
In an instant, Qin Hao lost all his cultivation and became an ordinary person.
At this moment, the Empress took out a pink pill and fed it directly to Qin Hao.
The pill melts instantly upon entering the mouth, and its effects take hold in just 10 seconds.
Qin Hao felt as if his whole body was engulfed in flames, but thankfully, his mind remained clear.
Therefore, Qin Hao tried his best to stay away from the Empress, not even looking at Empress, but simply closing his eyes and trying to picture Liu Qianqian in his mind.
Before long, two more people appeared in Qin Hao's mind.
Liu Qianqian, Bai Bing, and Jiang Ling from Kaiyuan Universe.
Three people came out at the same time, and Qin Hao himself was confused. What was going on?
At this moment, the Empress spoke up, "I didn't expect that you wouldn't embrace me immediately, but instead tried your best to restrain yourself. I underestimated you."
The Empress looked at Qin Hao with an icy expression and said...
Immediately afterwards, the Empress slowly approached Qin Hao and gently extended her fair hands toward Qin Hao chest.
Then she took the initiative to hug Qin Hao.
Qin Hao was able to maintain a sliver of rationality by relying on the images of Liu Qianqian, Bai Bing, and Jiang Ling in his mind.
But after being struck by the Empress, his lust could no longer be suppressed, and his mind went completely blank.
Then he hugged the Empress tightly and walked towards the bed...
