"So, what do you plan to do?" Liu Qingcheng pondered for a moment, then asked.

As soon as she said this, a light bulb went off in her head. She looked at Zhang Xiaohao and said,

"Is your next target the Sky Blue Divine Pool?"

"That’s right! My next target is indeed the Sky Blue Divine Pool," Zhang Xiaohao admitted openly.

"I should have guessed it long ago, but I was misled by obsession," Liu Qingcheng said with a bitter smile.

"Tell me! With the power of your City Lord Mansion, if you were unwilling, no one could force you to marry the Young Sect Master of the Luanxing Sect," Zhang Xiaohao said.

"This time you guessed wrong. Someone is indeed forcing me, and that person is my father! You know, he’s already at the Middle Mahayana stage of cultivation. He wants to use my hand to manipulate the Luanxing Sect and then seize the Sky Blue Divine Pool. By then, merge with the Sky Blue Divine Tree. After a thousand years of brewing, a Sky Blue Divine Fruit can be produced! Its function is a thousand times that of the Sky Blue Xuan Fruit, enough to help him break through to the Late Mahayana stage. So, that’s why we have this current situation," Liu Qingcheng explained.

"If this is the reason, then everything can be explained! Under the temptation of absolute power, no matter who it is, they would likely do the same!" Zhang Xiaohao nodded in deep agreement.

"Hmph! Stop with the sarcasm. I’m yours now, so quickly tell me, what good methods do you have!" Liu Qingcheng said anxiously.

"There’s no good method, but there is a clumsy one. Isn’t your father after the Heavenly Pond Divine Pond? I can snatch it and hand it over to him! Of course, the rest depends on whether he has the guts!" Zhang Xiaohao said seriously.

"What do you want my father to do?" Liu Qingcheng asked.

"Hehe! Now is not the time to talk about this. If you don’t go out, your father should come over in at most three days. When he arrives, I’ll have a good talk with him!" Zhang Xiaohao said with a mysterious smile.

"Aren’t you interested in the Sky Blue Divine Pool? It’s a supreme treasure!" Liu Qingcheng asked in confusion.

"Treasures are good, but compared to you, they are far inferior! In my heart, you are still the most important," Zhang Xiaohao said earnestly.

Anyway, saying nice things costs nothing, so naturally, he would say whatever sounds best!

"Thank you!" Hearing Zhang Xiaohao’s words, Liu Qingcheng was truly moved to tears.

At that moment, she stood up from the bed voluntarily and threw herself towards Zhang Xiaohao.

After the previous battle, everything now fell into place!

Under Zhang Xiaohao’s fervent efforts, Liu Qingcheng put everything into accommodating him, agreeing to whatever demands Zhang Xiaohao made.

In a blink, three days had passed.

At this moment, a middle-aged man with a square face and distinct features, accompanied by two maids, strode in from outside.

"Qing’er greets the City Lord!" Seeing City Lord Liu Shentong arrive, Xiaoqing hurriedly saluted.

"Is Qingcheng here?" Liu Shentong asked sternly.

"Miss is in seclusion and specifically instructed the servant not to let anyone disturb her until she emerges!" Xiaoqing replied.

"Hmph! A mere maid dares to deceive this City Lord, seeking death? Do you really think this City Lord’s eyes are deaf? Three days ago, you brought a fortune-telling old Taoist here, and he has not been seen leaving until now. How dare you falsely claim that Qingcheng is in seclusion, you have quite the nerve!" Liu Shentong said coldly.

Thud!

Hearing Liu Shentong’s words, Xiaoqing hurriedly knelt on the ground, cold sweat dripping from her forehead like beans.

"City Lord, spare me! Miss is really inside deducing heavenly secrets and instructed no one to disturb her without her order!" Xiaoqing hastily explained.

Before Liu Shentong could speak, a clear and cold voice sounded from inside.

"Qing’er, let my father in, the others stay outside." Liu Qingcheng’s voice came from the room, then a corner of the Formation was revealed, just big enough for one person to enter.

"Hmph! Stay kneeling obediently for the City Lord!" Liu Shentong said coldly.

Whoosh!

With a tap of his foot, he entered Liu Qingcheng’s room directly.

As soon as he entered, he noticed something unusual. The room still had the lingering scent of a man, and besides that, his precious daughter, whom he regarded as a treasure, was standing like a maid behind a young man in black, massaging him. With the blush still evident on her face, even a fool would know what had happened earlier.

Before Liu Shentong entered, Zhang Xiaohao had already resumed his guise as a Black-clothed Scholar, appearing ordinary with nothing unusual.

"Evil scoundrel! You dare scheme against this City Lord and also have the nerve to offend this City Lord’s precious daughter, go to hell!!!" Seeing this scene, Liu Shentong could no longer suppress the anger in his heart. With a low growl, a terrifying aura was about to erupt from within him, ready to kill Zhang Xiaohao with a wave of his hand.

Zhang Xiaohao seemed oblivious to everything around him, lazily taking out a bamboo cigarette, squinting his eyes as he smoked, appearing indifferent, as if Liu Shentong were mere air, not even worth his attention.

A puff of light smoke was exhaled from Zhang Xiaohao’s mouth.

"Lord Liu, I advise you to behave yourself and not throw away your face!" Zhang Xiaohao said disdainfully.

This kind of person even wants to sell out his own daughter, so naturally, he deserves no respect.

"Hmph! Who are you, youngster? And from which clan are you a favored son of heaven?" Liu Shentong asked, forcibly suppressing the anger in his heart.

The divine skill gathered in his palm also stopped with it.

Being able to reach the position of City Lord of Luanxing City, he was not a fool. Having lived seven or eight thousand years, if he were a fool, over the years, he wouldn’t know which corner he’d been dragged to by dogs, let alone survive till now.

Seeing Zhang Xiaohao sitting there so fearlessly and eating something strange and long, it was obvious that he had a trump card. Even if he took action, there was no guarantee he could deal with him.

Zhang Xiaohao had no idea that Liu Shentong had thought of so much in an instant.

"Do you recognize this?" Zhang Xiaohao said playfully.

With a thought, the Little Spirit King Sky Crown floated above his head, radiating golden light under his deliberate control.

"Ah! This, this is the Little Spirit King Sky Crown? You, you are the heir of the Spirit Clan’s royal family?" Seeing the Little Spirit King Sky Crown on top of Zhang Xiaohao’s head, Liu Shentong exclaimed in shock.
