Outside, Shi Bingying and others were anxiously waiting. They had looked for the opening gears but ended in vain. When they were at a loss what to do, suddenly they felt something abnormal at the bottom of the water dungeon. Then they cast their eyes in that direction in haste.

First there was the stirring of the water. Then all of a sudden, with a “bang”, something gushed straightly up from the water and brought huge waves alongside. The waiting people were astonished, among which some girls were even scared into screaming.

Luckily, someone had sharp eyes and found it was three people that rushed out, rather than some water monsters. The three were Qin Hao, Gu Hong, and Ye Tianping. Carrying one person with each hand, Qin Hao dashed from the wave and reached the bank of the water dungeon with only several strides in the void.

“Hao, you finally came out.” Shi Bingying was both surprised and excited. All her worry in the past days was wiped out.

Qin Hao put down Gu Hong and Ye Tianping and gave a comforting smile to Shi Bingying who was pouncing toward him.

“Hao.” Shi Bingying was too happy to pay regard to others. Her anxiety and yearning of these days exploded at this moment. She jumped into Qin’s wet arms and held her man tightly, “Hao, you finally came out. Do you know how much I worried about you?”

Qin grinned and stroked Shi Bingying’s smooth long hair, saying gently, “Sorry to have you worried. Trust me. Nothing will ever happen to me.”

“You’ve let me wait for more than a month. How can I not be worried? You bastard. What took you so long?” Shi Bingying blamed him.

Qin Hao was shocked. More than a month? It must be a joke.

“You said I stayed underneath here for more than a month?”

Shi Bingying looked up at him. Her beautiful eyes blinked with doubt: “Don’t you know that?”

Qin Hao rubbed his forehead. All he remembered was that he seemed to have stayed inside for a couple of days. But after he received the memory of the previous master of the cauldron, he got muddled up about time. That memory was so powerful that he took a long time to absorb. As for how long exactly the time was, he had no concept. There were no days and nights in the cauldron. Even though there were, he had no time to figure out how many of them he had spent.

It never came to him that he would stay there for over a month.

“By the way, where is Shifu? Why didn’t he come?” Not seeing Bloody Demon King, Qin Hao was worried and hurried to ask.

“Your Shifu has been doing closed-door cultivation these days. There is nothing wrong with him. But someone else needs your help.” Shi Bingying thought of Shadow, who was still lying in bed.

“Who?”

“Sister Shadow.”

“What? Sha, Shadow? What happened?” Qin Hao became anxious immediately.

“Follow me and I will tell you later.” Shi Bingying was even more anxious than him.

“Fine.” Qin spoke no more. He pulled Shi Bingying and walked quickly to outside, followed by other people.

In a room, Shadow was lying quietly on bed. Her breath was faint, but her pale face looked better than before. It should be attributed to Blood Coral. Without it, she would not have survived to today to meet Qin Hao.

“Shadow.” Qin Hao rushed into the room. Seeing Shadow’s weak condition, he ached in the heart. His anger broke out. He shouted, “Who did this?”

Shi Bingying shook her head, “She was like this when we found her. To know who had hurt her, we have to wait until she wakes up. You have to save her now.”

“OK. Give us some space.” Qin Hao didn’t want to be disturbed while saving people.

“Mm.” Shi Bingying went out of the room tamely and closed the door. Then she stood at the door guarding, in case someone came to disturb.

On the other side, Ye Siyu looked at the door and her eyes greened with envy.

Here came another woman. Was she Qin Hao’s woman too?

Whether or not, it was true that Qin Hao cared about that woman very much. Why wasn’t she? Was she really that bad?

Actually, it wasn’t that she was that bad. Only she forgot that it was her who had pushed this man away.

…

Qin Hao spent a little longer in this treatment. The door wasn’t opened until night fell. Qin Hao walked out with his face looking pale.

Shi Bingying hurried to support his arm and asked with worry, “Hao, are you OK?”

Qin Hao shook his head with a smile, “I’m fine. I just need some rest.”

“How about sister Shadow?”

“She’s all right. But it’ll take some time for her to wake up. Can you get some warm water and wash her face?”

“OK.” Shi Bingying was about to leave when she realized something and clutched at his clothes, “You haven’t changed yet. Sorry, Hao, I’ll get some dry clothes for you.”

From when coming out of the water dungeon, Qin Hao had been wearing wet clothes and had no time to change till now. As they were all eager to save Shadow, Shi Bingying didn’t notice that either.

As a woman, it was a big fault not noticing her man’s wet clothes. At least Shi Bingying herself thought it not right, so she was full of guilt now.

“Ying, it’s not a big deal. Look, they are almost dry. There’s no need to change.” Qin Hao didn’t want Shi to feel guilty. What’s more, in this place, there was no way for her to find a man’s clothes.

“Qin Hao, I found you a suit, but I don’t know whether it fits you. You can try it on first.” At this time, a soft and sensual voice came. It was Ye Siyu. Wearing a charming smile, she walked to Qin Hao holding a set of clothes with a delicate fragrance She prepared beforehand with efforts.

Shi Bingying was speechless on seeing Ye Siyu’s smile, eyes, and movements. While Shi Bingying was in a daze, Ye Siyu had come in front of Qin Hao with clothes in her hands.

“Qin Hao, the condition’s limited and I hope you won’t reject these. Go and change your clothes, and I will wash them for you.” Ye Siyu stared at Qin. In her eyes, there was a deep concern; in her voice, there was a sense of begging.

Qin Hao was caught in a dilemma. He seemed to be unable to find an excuse to refuse. But it was awkward to accept the clothes in front of Shi Bingying.

“Hao, go changing right away. It will harm your body wearing wet clothes.” said Shi Bingying.

“Well, all right.” Qin Hao withdrew his redundant sentiment. He was not afraid of the harm of wearing wet clothes, for with his current strength he would not catch a cold by even jumping into the water in the winter. It was just that wet clothes made him uncomfortable.

Qin Hao took the clothes from Ye Siyu and changed in a room. He had intended to give the clothes to Shi Bingying to wash, but Ye Siyu moved more quickly. She took them and left with enthusiasm.

Shi Bingying watched Ye Siyu leaving. Her thoughts were entangled. She was a woman. How couldn’t she see through Ye Siyu’s mind? Like what her Shifu Yi Jing had said, a man like Qin Hao would win many women’s hearts.

“Ying, what are you thinking?” Qin Hao noticed the change on Shi Bingying’s look. He knew that she was thinking too much. He came close to her and held her soft body in his arms, consoling her, “Don’t think too much, OK? Remember, you are always the most important woman in my heart. No one can take your place.”

On hearing this, Shi Bingying’s soft heart melted completely. The struggle in her mind was also dissolved, at least for this moment. She put her arms around his waist and said gently, “Hao, I know a good man like you can’t avoid being loved by other women. You are so brilliant and shining. But you have to promise me, except for sister Shadow and me, you can’t be with other women. At most, and no more than that, you can have Ye Siyu as the last one.”

According to the time order, Ye Siyu met Qin Hao first. As for marriage ceremony, Ye Siyu was the only one who had held an official wedding ceremony with him.

So, Shi Bingying understood this well. If Ye Siyu really loved Qin Hao, and Qin Hao could accept Ye Siyu’s love, then it was not proper for her to stop them.

“Uh…” Qin Hao sweated. By interpreting her words, Qin Hao realized this girl probably had known the story between him and Shadow.

“You have known about Shadow and me?” Though he guessed she had already known, Qin Hao still needed to confirm it by asking.

Shi Bingying leaned her head to Qin Hao’s chest and nodded gently. Then she told him all about the agreement between Shadow and her.

After hearing it out, Qin Hao realized he had been kept in the dark by these two women. They had made an agreement. It was him who knew nothing.

Knowing Shi Bingying had accepted Shadow and they had called each other closely as sisters, Qin Hao was moved by Shi Bingying’s generosity and understanding. That was his woman, the one he would love with care and accompany through this life.

“Thank you, Ying!” Qin Hao said it with great emotion. He held the pretty little figure even tighter in his arms.

“Ha ha. I’ve broken through. I finally made the d*mn breakthrough. Ha ha, I’m in the Spirit Stage now! The Spirit Stage! Ha ha…”

The sudden roar of laughter frightened the loving couple, so were others in the nearby rooms. People rushed out to see what was going on.

Qin Hao loosed his arms around Shi Bingying and looked surprisedly at the room, from which the wild laughter spread. As he was about to come close, following a “bang”, Bloody Demon King broke the door and dashed out from the room, proud as a peacock.

Qin Hao gazed at the excited Bloody Demon King. He wrinkled his brows and found his Shifu was indeed in Spirit Stage. This fact shocked him. People said Qin Hao was a freak. But Bloody Demon King was the real f**king freak. It hadn’t been long, and he reached the Spirit Stage.

Bloody Demon King had his advantages of cultivating, among which mostly were his cheekiness and good luck. Hadn’t he got such a big Blood Coral, no one would have known how much longer it would take him to make the breakthrough, at least not now.

Had that Blood Coral been given to Qin Hao, he could have definitely entered the Peak of Void Stage, becoming a terrible being among Semi-Ancient Martial World masters. Although, in terms of power, he was already one of the top masters.

“Ha ha, Little Hao, look, your Shifu’s in the Spirit Stage. The Spirit Stage. Ha ha…” Bloody Demon King was so happy and acted like a lunatic. One reason for his ecstasy was the short time he spent in the breakthrough. But the most important reason was that he felt very different about the Spirit Stage this time. Compared to the Spirit Stage he cultivated in Ancient Martial World, this one was several times stronger. He was now confident about challenging higher-rank Martial Cultivators in the middle period of the Spirit Stage and beating them.

Seeing Bloody Demon King advance his strength, Qin Hao was happy. He smiled and walked to his Shifu to congratulate, “Ha ha, Shifu, congratulations. At your speed, I’m afraid it won’t take long for you to regain your full strength in the old days.”

“Ha ha, that’s true. Who do you think I am? I’m the genius among geniuses.” Bloody Demon King boasted without feeling shame.

After boasting around, he noticed the change in Qin Hao. Then he frowned, “Little Hao, your Qi seemed…”
