Spotting the rabbit demon beast standing at the entrance to the main palace waiting for him with a stern expression plastered all over its face, Xuan Hao could not help chuckling silently to himself as he landed on the top of the stairs leading up to the entrance of the main palace.
If not for the fact that he had seen how the rabbit demon beast had been lazing around on one of the beds in the main palace, he might have thought that the rabbit demon beast had been working hard for the past few months to ensure that not even a random fly entered the Iron Sky Kingdom without permission, but considering that it had ended up dealing with three Soul Ascension Realm Experts, Xuan Hao decided not to call it out on its bluff as it jumped forward the moment it spotted him and Yi Min.
"Squeak…"
"Yes, you did well."
"Squeak~!"
Hearing Xuan Hao's praise, the rabbit demon beast happily jumped around him with a cute and expectant expression on its face; one didn't have to think for long to understand that the rabbit demon beast was waiting to be rewarded for doing a good job.
"You already have enough spirit stones." Not intending to give the rabbit demon beast any more spirit stones as he very well understood that it should have more than enough left in the interspatial ring that he had handed it before leaving the Iron Sky Kingdom together with Yi Min, Xuan Hao didn't bother playing into the rabbit demon beast's little play
Whoosh~!
"Squeaaaaakk-"
Using his qi to sweep up the rabbit demon beast and the squirrel before sending them both into his sleeve. Returning them to their little home inside the pocket space hidden in the sleeve before they had any time to react to what was happening.
Considering the rabbit demon beast's speed, Xuan Hao had a feeling that it would be rather annoying to catch if it ended up throwing a tantrum after not getting any spirit stones. Not that he expected it to do something like that with its pride, but one could never be too sure.
"Huh…?"contemporary romance
Seeing Xuan Hao casually sweep away the two demon beasts, one of which she had intended to thank for saving her kingdom during her absence, Yi Min opened her mouth with a shocked expression on her face. Not having expected him to just put away the two demon beasts before she even had a chance to say anything.
Seeing Yi Min suddenly stand up to interrupt him as he was on his way out, Xuan Hao could not help tilting his head in confusion. Was there perhaps something that he missed during their earlier discussion?
"Ah…"
Feeling Xuan Hao's confused gaze, Yi Min could not help awkwardly squirming her body. Even though she had prepared herself to ask him about joining the Star Shattering Sect, when faced with the gaze filled with confusion, she could not help freezing on the spot…
"I-I just wanted to ask about the future relationship between my kingdom and the Star Shattering Sect. After all, given the current state of things, I don't think our current cooperative relationship is going to last for much longer given the speed at which your sect is growing, and I fear that it might end up negatively impacting my kingdom." Swallowing her nervousness as she said this after a few seconds passed, Yi Min did her best to not directly say that she wanted her kingdom to join the Star Shattering Sect and instead tried her best to subtly guide Xuan Hao towards asking her about it as she had originally wanted.
"Hm? Indeed, there might be elders who would want to expand into your kingdom in the future… To solve this problem, I think it would be best to talk with Elder Song, he is far more knowledgeable in this kind of thing compared to myself. More importantly, he has a better understanding of the elders and their overall attitude towards your kingdom." Nodding his head as he said this, Xuan Hao didn't notice the small frown that appeared on Yi Min's face when she heard him mentioning Elder Song.
"That is not what I wanted you to say…"
"Did you say something?" "No, it's nothing…"
Feeling a hint of frustration as she saw the oblivious expression on Xuan Hao's face, Yi Min could not help wondering if she should bring up the matter of joining the Star Shattering Sect-
"Ah, now that I think about it" However, just as she was about to give up and open her mouth to ask him about joining the Star Shattering Sect herself, Xuan Hao suddenly seemed to remember something. "Why don't you just join the Star Shattering Sect? That way, you won't have to worry about any elders in the future who might want to try and expand into your kingdom, and I can help you keep full control of your kingdom after joining."
"…"
This #!$@!
Not able to stop herself from cursing him inside her head after hearing his suggestion just as she opened her mouth about to speak, Yi Min could not help glaring at him with a bit of resentment over how she had tried her best to make him ask her about this again and again, just for him to ask when she had resigned herself to asking about joining the Star Shattering Sect herself.
"Hm? Is there something wrong with my suggestion?"
"No… I think it would be a great idea, I will go and inform my subordinates about it and get in touch with Elder Song!" Pouting angrily as she said this, Yi Min stomped out of the room. Leaving behind a confused Xuan Hao, who had no idea what had just transpired…
