Conceptual melting pot, the fusion of all realms starting from the Qin Dynasty.

"I just don't know, after King Han An's death, Lady Mingzhu, do you plan to live out your days alone in the palace, or do you plan to escape from the Han royal palace?"

Chen Hao continuously measured Madam Mingzhu's figure with both hands, and before she could respond, he continued:

“I understand that you, Lady Mingzhu, have another identity, but once you lose enough influence in the palace, will they really prepare a way out for you?”

Chen Hao looked at Madam Mingzhu, whose resolve was beginning to waver, and pinched her firm, plump buttocks:

"There are cultivators in this world, cultivators who are so powerful that even the courts of the seven kingdoms cannot ignore them."

"When one's spiritual practice reaches a certain level, one can often achieve great supernatural powers such as eating dew and consuming celestial vegetative essence, prolonging life, preserving youth, subduing dragons and tigers, destroying mountains and breaking peaks, mastering the five thunders, and knowing the future."

At this point, Chen Hao looked at Madam Mingzhu with a puzzled expression, "Why are you always able to get in touch with cultivation before others? Why don't you know how to cherish it?"

"Is it not as satisfying to control one's own destiny with absolute power as the intrigue and power struggles within this royal palace?"

Chapter 037 The Promise with Madam Mingzhu

At this moment, Lady Mingzhu saw in Chen Hao's eyes his love, pursuit, and dedication to cultivation.

It's like a thirsty traveler in a scorching desert finding clear water.

Because of Chen Hao's frequent subtle actions, Madam Mingzhu's body remained tense, but her tone softened: "To become a strong person, a cultivator needs talent, comprehension, and cultivation techniques; none of these can be lacking."

"There are countless practitioners in the world, but how many of them can reach the peak and take control of their own destiny?"

"Not everyone can be as gifted and have such extraordinary opportunities as Mr. Chen Hao."

In that brief exchange between Madam Mingzhu and Chen Hao, she felt completely dominated by Chen Hao, with no chance to retaliate at all.

Although Lady Mingzhu herself is skilled in illusion and Gu magic, she also possesses the strength of the Innate Realm.

However, she was completely powerless against Chen Hao. Whether it was the refinement and accumulation of her true energy or her physical strength, she was utterly crushed by Chen Hao.

During this process, Madam Mingzhu's incense, poison, and Gu techniques were completely ignored by Chen Hao, showing no reaction whatsoever.

Considering that Chen Hao is only fifteen years old.

Judging from his tone, Chen Hao had only recently received the martial arts inheritance.

Even with Madam Mingzhu's temperament and resources, she couldn't help but feel envious and jealous of Chen Hao's talent and opportunities.

This made her grit her teeth and clench the naughty thing that kept causing trouble in her right palm with indignation.

When Chen Hao was roaming over her body earlier, his hands still held her tightly, so that Madam Mingzhu's right hand could not leave the thing she hated.

You should know that Madam Mingzhu had never even seen what the ugly thing looked like before, but unexpectedly, Chen Hao forced her to measure it carefully with her hands.

“Hmm~~~!”

Chen Hao let out a beastly roar, and his lips once again sought towards Madam Mingzhu's red lips.

"No!" Madam Mingzhu dodged in alarm, a wet patch appearing on her flawless white face. "We've been here too long. Even with my men covering for us, people will notice something's wrong if we stay any longer."

"Then you promise me."

Chen Hao stared intently into Madam Mingzhu's eyes.

"What did you promise?"

Madam Mingzhu's eyes darted away.

"You belong to me, and will always belong to me alone." The flames in Chen Hao's eyes seemed to burn Lady Mingzhu to ashes. "Promise me you will never use your charm on other men again, and never let Han Wang'an touch you."

You are mine, and you can only be mine.

"Half a year!"

"Give me six months, and I will turn the whole of South Korea upside down, and then I will take you away openly and legitimately."

At this point, Chen Hao's eyes revealed an arrogant disdain for everything.

With such an opportunity as the [Concept Furnace], if Chen Hao couldn't live a carefree life in this world that can only be considered a mid-level martial arts world, then he would despise himself.

"No, they will never let me leave."

As Madam Mingzhu breathed in the pure yang energy emanating from Chen Hao, her heart wavered for a moment. However, when she thought of the night and her cousin, Blood-Clad Marquis Bai Yifei, her wavering resolve instantly hardened. "I cannot possibly follow the thoughts of someone I have just met."

Thinking of Bai Yifei, who seemed like a completely different person since practicing that technique, Madam Mingzhu couldn't help but shudder.

Arrogance, eccentricity, cruelty, and bloodthirstiness are not enough to describe Bai Yifei now.

Even when Madam Mingzhu wanted to rebel against Bai Yifei, she couldn't help but fear that she would become the one whose blood was drained.

Moreover, if Bai Yifei truly had feelings for her, he wouldn't have tried to send her to the palace in the past.

"Chen Hao!" Madam Mingzhu forced herself to calm down, looking at Chen Hao with icy eyes: "Don't forget that you are just a commoner who had to come to see me because I summoned you."

Chen Hao held Madam Mingzhu tightly, his eyes teasingly asking, "Mingzhu, when you say these things, could you please stop fiddling with what you're doing?"

"I can tell that even though you say no, your body is still very compliant."

"You~!"

Madam Mingzhu's eyes were filled with shame and anger, and her already flushed fair cheeks became even redder. Her hands, which were moving rhythmically, froze instantly.

A moment later, Madam Mingzhu clenched her fist tightly.

However, Lady Mingzhu's strength was negligible to Chen Hao, and it actually relieved the pain caused by the virginity mark restriction.

In addition, Madam Mingzhu did consider cutting Chen Hao's flesh with her fingernails, but she was stopped by the shimmering golden light on Chen Hao's skin.

"Madam Mingzhu, are you afraid of Ye Mu and your cousin Bai Yifei? Aren't you afraid that I will leak your information?"

Chen Hao poked at Madam Mingzhu's voluptuous body and laid his cards on the table.

"How did you know?" Madam Mingzhu asked in surprise.

...

Just as she was about to ask Chen Hao for clarification, Princess Honglian's loud shout suddenly came from outside the side room: "Chen Hao... Chen Hao, are you in there?"

"Get out of my way right now, let me see if it's that old woman Mingzhu making things difficult for Chen Hao."

Lady Mingzhu's maidservant quickly stopped her, saying, "Princess Honglian, please forgive me for not being able to let you in."

“Madam Mingzhu and Mr. Chenhao are discussing important matters inside. We would absolutely not dare to let Princess Honglian in without Madam Mingzhu’s order.”

"How dare you! You dare to obstruct this princess?"

Princess Honglian shouted at her maid, trying to intimidate her with her status.

However, how could Lady Mingzhu's close maids possibly agree? They quickly used various methods to dissuade her.

...

"Let me go! Princess Honglian is coming."

Madam Mingzhu called out to Chen Hao in a low voice, sounding somewhat anxious.

Although she could have used Chen Hao's lewd behavior to ruin his reputation, Madam Mingzhu did not choose to do so for various reasons.

It's possible that Chen Hao has something on her, and Madam Mingzhu doesn't want both sides to suffer losses.

It's also possible that Madam Mingzhu herself didn't want to?

"It's a promise!" Chen Hao kissed Madam Mingzhu's red lips, then said firmly, "I won't bother you again until I defeat Blood-Clad Marquis Bai Yifei and Nightfall, but if I succeed, you will come with me."

"But before that, you must also fulfill my other requirements."

Seeing Chen Hao's determined gaze, Madam Mingzhu nodded as if possessed and agreed, "Okay!"

Chapter 038 The White Porcelain Business and the Library

Crunch~!

Looking at Madam Mingzhu and Chen Hao, who walked out of the room one after the other, dressed neatly, behaving politely, and maintaining a proper distance between them, no one could have imagined what had happened between them in the room.

At the same time, Princess Honglian and Lady Mingzhu's maid, who were in a stalemate, also stopped.

This time, no one stopped her. Princess Honglian trotted over to Chen Hao's side, looking him up and down with some concern.

"Chen Hao, did Madam Mingzhu give you any trouble? You've been inside for almost half an hour now, haven't you?"

"Don't worry!" Chen Hao gave Princess Honglian a bright smile: "Mrs. Mingzhu and I were in the room earlier because of a disagreement about the porcelain business, so we were delayed for a while."

Madam Mingzhu's eyes flickered.

Although she didn't understand what Chen Hao was talking about, it didn't stop her from cooperating with him: "I have already offered very generous terms, but Mr. Chen Hao is still stubbornly refusing to budge."

"porcelain?"

Princess Honglian tilted her head in confusion.

Chen Hao smiled and reminded him, "The brush washer and palette I used for painting, as well as the bowl I used for eating, are all porcelain."

Honglian instantly understood, shaking her head as she recalled: "It's that container, as white as jade, as delicate as silk, with gold and blue patterns on it?"
