The young men and women of the Ye Family all showed looks of astonishment after hearing this.
When had Ye Hao gotten a fiancée?
And she was from the Song Family, a thousand-year-old lineage and one of the top forces in the Eastern Region!
Ye Hao said indifferently to Song Qingxue, "Let's go inside and talk."
Ye Hao then turned and entered Ye Manor first.
Song Qingxue followed.
After entering Ye Manor, Song Qingxue cast a faint glance around the manor before speaking in a voice as beautiful as heavenly music, "You killed four Half-step Spirit Sea cultivators from the Li Family earlier. Now everyone outside is saying that you're a seventeen-year-old Spirit Sea cultivator, the most outstanding genius among the younger generation of the Eastern Region."
Ye Hao's expression remained calm. He did not answer that question, but merely said, "According to the agreement back then, once I turned seventeen, you were to formally become engaged to me. Yet your Song Family has not sent even a word. According to the agreement, the Song Family must compensate me with a million Mid-grade Spirit Stones."
The two of them had stopped in a garden within Ye Manor.
Standing on a small bridge, they looked at the stream below, where several colorful little fish swam.
Song Qingxue seemed to have expected Ye Hao to bring this up. Her expression remained calm as she said, "It isn't that my Song Family is unwilling to honor the agreement. It's that the Ye Family has too many enemies. If I formally became engaged to you, my Song Family would also have a difficult time in the Eastern Region."
Ye Hao's expression was calm as he looked at the little fish below the bridge. His gaze was tranquil as he said faintly, "Then compensate me with a million Mid-grade Spirit Stones."
Song Qingxue frowned slightly, her expression displeased. "Do you expect my Song Family to die together with your Ye Family? As long as the Ye Family can resolve this crisis, I'll become engaged to you. If the Ye Family can't resolve it, my Song Family doesn't want to throw the lives of the entire lineage away for nothing."
"Then compensate me with a million Mid-grade Spirit Stones." Ye Hao calmly looked at the little fish below the bridge.
Song Qingxue's face turned a little colder. "I said, it isn't that I'm unwilling to become engaged to you!"
"Compensate me with a million Mid-grade Spirit Stones," Ye Hao said.
Song Qingxue knitted her brows.
Ye Hao revealed a faint smile and looked at Song Qingxue's somewhat cold, lovely face. "If your Song Family refuses to compensate me with a million Mid-grade Spirit Stones, then you'll stay in the Ye Family forever."
"Do you dare force me to stay?" Song Qingxue stared at Ye Hao with her beautiful eyes, a proud air radiating from her. "My Song Family is one of the top forces in the Eastern Region. As for my martial talent, throughout the generations of the Song Family, I can rank among the top three. If your Ye Family wants to force me to stay, my Song Family will certainly not let the matter rest!"
Ye Hao smiled faintly as he stared at Song Qingxue's lovely face. "Your Song Family owes me a million Mid-grade Spirit Stones. Since the Song Family refuses to repay the debt, you'll repay it in its place. As for your claim that your Song Family won't let my Ye Family rest, I think you've got it backward. It should be my Ye Family that won't let the matter rest."
Song Qingxue gazed at Ye Hao with her beautiful eyes. "The ancestor of my Song Family is a Sixth Realm existence!"
The Sixth Realm was a realm above Spirit Aggregation.
Ye Hao's expression remained calm, without the slightest sign of being intimidated. "Do you think that just because the Song Family has a Sixth Realm expert, my Ye Family doesn't?"
"Is that so?" Song Qingxue was somewhat unconvinced. Her beautiful eyes fixed tightly on Ye Hao's, as if she wanted to know whether he was merely bluffing.
"If the Ye Family truly had a Sixth Realm ancestor, why hasn't it announced it to the various forces of the Eastern Region? Once it was made public, the Ye Family's crisis might be greatly reduced." Song Qingxue spoke lightly while observing Ye Hao's reaction.
Ye Hao chuckled. Then, his fingers moved with the speed of lightning, striking several of Song Qingxue's vital acupoints.
Caught off guard, Song Qingxue had never imagined that Ye Hao would suddenly attack her. He sealed her Dantian Qi Sea, leaving her unable to circulate her spiritual power.
"No matter how many times you say it, it can't compare to proving it with facts." Ye Hao smiled at Song Qingxue.
"From this moment on, you're my woman, Ye Hao's woman. Back then, my mother gave your father three Earth-grade Cultivation Methods as the betrothal gifts. In other words, you were already my woman long ago. Either compensate me with a million Mid-grade Spirit Stones—or, though your Song Family absolutely can't produce a million Mid-grade Spirit Stones, from now on, your entire person belongs to me, Ye Hao."
Ye Hao spoke indifferently.
"How dare you!" Song Qingxue's expression was icy as she glared coldly at Ye Hao and warned him, "If you force me to stay, my Song Family will certainly come to demand an explanation!"
Ye Hao laughed softly, but there was a chill in his laughter.
They refused to repay a debt and still intended to come demand an explanation.
Were they trying to play the scoundrel with him?
Slap!
Ye Hao raised his hand and slapped Song Qingxue directly across her lovely face.
Song Qingxue was stunned.
The slap struck her so hard that she froze in place.
She had actually been hit?
She was the contemporary martial genius of the Song Family, a thousand-year-old lineage. From the moment she was born, she had been found to possess extraordinarily high martial talent!
She had been the darling of the entire lineage!
Let alone being struck, even when it came to scolding her, her family had been unwilling to say a single harsh word to her!
Yet now, Ye Hao had actually hit her!
Song Qingxue's face instantly turned icy, fury filling her eyes. "Ye Hao, you'll regret this!"
Slap!
Another slap landed across Song Qingxue's face.
"Ye Hao!"
Slap!
Song Qingxue's expression became extremely dark, and a venomous glint flashed through her eyes.
Slap!
Another slap.
Song Qingxue glared venomously at Ye Hao. "I didn't even say anything. Why did you hit me?!"
Slap!
"I don't like that venomous look in your eyes."
"You!"
Slap!
"Ah!!! Ye Hao, I'll fight you to the death!"
Song Qingxue snapped, swinging her fist at Ye Hao.
Although her spiritual power had been sealed, her physical body remained, and the strength of her physique was comparable to the Third Level of Qi Condensation!
But in Ye Hao's eyes, the strength of a Third Level of Qi Condensation physique was no different from that of a child.
Slap!
Ye Hao swung another slap across her face.
This slap carried somewhat more force and sent Song Qingxue sprawling to the ground.
Ye Hao then took two steps forward and planted one foot beside Song Qingxue's face. Applying slight pressure, he ground his foot back and forth, twisting her face out of shape.
"Mmph, mmph..."
Song Qingxue made muffled sounds and struggled desperately, but it was completely useless.
Ye Hao simply continued grinding his foot back and forth across Song Qingxue's lovely face.
Song Qingxue continued struggling desperately. The more she struggled, the heavier the hatred in her eyes became.
But after struggling for quite some time, Song Qingxue began to cry, sobbing in despair.
"Wuwuwu... wuwu... wuwu... wu..."
Song Qingxue cried.
Ye Hao felt not the slightest pity. He was not the softhearted type. After a century of soul transmigration in the Otherworldly realm, he knew all too well that softness was a disease, and showing mercy to enemies was cruelty to oneself.
Song Qingxue's true purpose in coming to the Ye Family was to probe its strength.
Once she confirmed that the Ye Family had no Sixth Realm existence, the Song Family would probably be the first to flatten the Ye Family!
In his eyes, Song Qingxue's sobs were utterly laughable.
They refused to repay their debt and even threatened him!
A completely hostile force!
And a bunch of ingrates and scum who broke their promises!
"Wuwuwu... wuwu... Ye Hao, stop stepping on my face, wuwuwu..." Song Qingxue begged for mercy through her tears.
