Hearing Jin Hao's words, Qian Renxue's eyes widened. Xiaoh Hao had actually found something connected to a Godhead?
What kind of luck was that?
So Qian Renxue asked Jin Hao:
"Xiaoh Hao, is that true? Did you really find something related to a Godhead?"
Jin Hao replied to Qian Renxue:
"Xue'er, would I lie to you? We grew up together, so you know me. If I hadn't found it, why wouldn't I return to Spirit City with you?"
Hearing Jin Hao confirm it again, and seeing the sincerity in his eyes, Qian Renxue more or less believed him.
At the same time, Qian Renxue thought that if Jin Hao truly inherited a Godhead, then once both of them became gods, they could stay together forever. They would not have to worry about one of them dying because of their limited lifespan.
Then Qian Renxue said to Jin Hao:
"Xiaoh Hao, since you found something related to a Godhead and can obtain its inheritance, I won't object to you staying in the Heaven Dou Empire. But if you get involved with other women while you're here, just wait and see how I deal with you."
Jin Hao immediately said:
"Xue'er, how could that happen? You promised to be my wife when we were children. How could I be unclear with other women?"
As soon as Jin Hao finished speaking, Qian Renxue's face flushed crimson. She recalled how, when she had played with three- or four-year-old Jin Hao as a nearly ten-year-old girl, she had somehow promised to grant him one request. At the time, Qian Renxue had not thought he would ask for anything serious, because in her eyes, Jin Hao had merely been a three- or four-year-old child.
But Jin Hao was a transmigrator and knew Qian Renxue's future. So when Qian Renxue had boldly declared that she would agree to anything, Jin Hao had said, "I want you to marry me someday."
That instantly left the formerly cheerful Qian Renxue dumbfounded. But when Jin Hao said:
"You're not going back on your word, are you?"
"You weren't lying to me, were you?"
Under the pressure of those words, Qian Renxue directly replied:
"What is there to be afraid of? I keep my word."
That was how it began, and their relationship had always been quite good.
At that moment, Qian Renxue patted her flushed cheeks and said:
"It had better be."
Then Qian Renxue remembered that Jin Hao would be remaining in the Heaven Dou Empire as an undercover agent, while she would be alone in Spirit City from then on.
Thinking of that, Qian Renxue was reluctant to part with him. But for the Godhead Jin Hao said he could obtain, she could only agree.
In the end, Qian Renxue came up with an idea and said to Jin Hao:
"Xiaoh Hao, if you're going undercover, I'll often come to Heaven Dou City to see you. And while I'm at it, I'll check whether you've done anything improper."
Jin Hao did not think there was anything wrong with that, and he said to Qian Renxue:
"As long as you don't think it's a waste of time or that it will affect your cultivation, I'd be happy to. Then I can see you more often too."
After the two had finished discussing this, Qian Renxue said to Jin Hao again:
"Xiaoh Hao, you'll be alone in the Heaven Dou Empire from now on, trying to obtain that thing related to the Godhead. If you encounter any problems, put your safety first. If it really comes down to it, I'll have Grandpa and the others help you. At worst, we'll just seize that thing you mentioned."
Jin Hao immediately waved his hands repeatedly. Although he wanted to obtain the Vast Sea Universe Cover and attempt to gain the Sea God's Godhead, what mattered more was that he did not want to return to Spirit City. He planned to rely on the Heaven Dou Empire to carry out his revenge.
Thinking of this gave Jin Hao a headache. The reason was simple: he wanted to use his undercover identity in the Heaven Dou Empire to build a force of his own, then destroy the Pope's Palace led by Bibi Dong—especially by killing that ruthless woman, Bibi Dong.
Then he would become the master of the Douluo Continent and do something for its people himself. But that meant he would be killing Qian Renxue's biological mother, and Jin Hao's plan to unify the Douluo Continent would also weaken Qian Renxue's Spirit Hall.
So Jin Hao did not know how he would face Qian Renxue then, much less how he would face the old masters of the Elder Hall.
From another perspective, what he intended to do would look no different from Bibi Dong's actions in the eyes of those old masters.
But Jin Hao had never considered giving up on his plan, because he did not want incidents like what had happened to Qin Ying to occur on the Douluo Continent in the future.
So at this moment, Jin Hao was considering how he should face Qian Renxue once that day came.
In the end, Jin Hao could not think of any solution for the time being. He could only deal with it when the day came. There was no point thinking about it now; when soldiers came, generals would block them, and when water came, earth would dam it.
Then Jin Hao stopped thinking about it and said to Qian Renxue before him:
"Xue'er, don't worry. I'm confident I can get the thing I mentioned myself, so there's no need to have the old masters seize it for me."
Hearing this, Qian Renxue said nothing more. In her view, if Jin Hao encountered any difficulties, she could bring people from Spirit Hall to help him at any time.
Just then, Golden Crocodile Douluo, who had been outside, saw that the time was about right and pushed open the door to the Private Room. He then saw Qian Renxue and Jin Hao sitting together, both of them having recovered their composure.
Golden Crocodile Douluo said:
"You two little ones, how did your talk go? And Xiaoh Hao, when are we setting out to return? Tomorrow, we'll make the Engagement Ceremony Xue Ye prepared lose face before the entire Douluo Continent."
In Golden Crocodile Douluo's view, Qian Renxue had already said she was not going undercover just to earn Bibi Dong's approval. And now the two were sitting together with smiles on their faces, so Golden Crocodile Douluo assumed their group would soon leave Heaven Dou City and return to Spirit City. His grandson could grow up right before his eyes again.
Golden Crocodile Douluo was extremely happy at the thought.
But at that moment, Jin Hao said to Golden Crocodile Douluo:
"Grandpa, when did I ever say I was returning to Spirit City? I told Xiaoxue that I'll continue going undercover in the Heaven Dou Empire."
"Ah?"
"How can this be? Xiaoxue's side is already settled, so why aren't you returning? Why do you still want to go undercover in the Heaven Dou Empire and waste the best years for cultivating Soul Power?"
Golden Crocodile Douluo displayed intense bewilderment!
