Urban God-level Youth

"Mr. Qin, City Lord Wu and Family Head Huo have arrived, they're waiting outside," the waiter whispered.

Qin Hao had already sensed them and replied, "Let them in."

The waiter ran out, and soon Wu Bin and Huo Honglin walked in. They looked at Qin Hao sitting on the chair, a bit surprised. Was he Qin Hao? So young?

They didn't feel much before meeting, but now they were truly shocked. This Qin Hao was really too young.

At such an age, having such terrifying strength, what would he become in the future?

"Mr. Qin, I am Wu Bin, the City Lord of Jiuwu City, and this is Family Head Huo Honglin of the Huo Family," Wu Bin said cautiously as he stood there.

Qin Hao looked up at them, "You two came looking for me, what's the matter?"

Wu Bin followed up, "Mr. Qin, I just found out about what happened on the street today. As soon as I heard the news, I came here with Family Head Huo to apologize to you."

Apologize?

Qin Hao sneered inwardly, this is a world that respects strength. Having strength is everything. Earth is actually not much different, but this place is more cruel.

Looking at Huo Honglin, Qin Hao smiled faintly, "There's no need for an apology. Your son made a mistake and has paid the price. I won't involve the Huo Family. Of course, if the Huo Family wants revenge, we can have a match."

Huo Honglin quickly said, "Mr. Qin, you're joking. My son is unambitious, bullying men and women all day. Offending Mr. Qin was because he had no foresight and deserved to be punished."

Qin Hao heard his words and slightly raised the corners of his mouth. His son was killed by me, and he can still say such dignified words. None of them are simple individuals.

He looked at Huo Honglin and smiled faintly, "Let's leave it at that. I won't implicate your whole family because of this."

"Thank you, Mr. Qin, for your magnanimity," Huo Honglin lowered his stance significantly.

Wu Bin also spoke, "The patrolling soldiers today were also at fault. I have strictly reprimanded them, and today's events will not happen again."

Qin Hao nodded slightly, "That's good. Since there's nothing else, I won't keep you two. I need to cultivate."

"Very well, we won't disturb Mr. Qin any further. Goodbye," the two, hearing his expulsion, said and left.

As long as Qin Hao doesn't hold them responsible, it's fine.

Their purpose here was mainly to ensure their families wouldn't be affected.

Now it seemed Qin Hao didn't have such intent, which let them feel at ease.

...

The next morning, Qin Hao, having cultivated all night, came out of his room to find Xian Yin and Ling'er waiting for him.

"Master, Master, come try the robe Sister Xian Yin made for you to see if it fits," Ling'er quickly ran over as he came out, pulling his hand to the table.

Xian Yin blushed slightly, "Please try it, my lord, and see if it fits."

On the table lay a neatly folded black robe. Qin Hao unfolded it to find a few vividly embroidered five-clawed dragons on it, lifelike, looking impressive and extraordinary.

Qin Hao smiled and nodded, "It looks great. Thank you, Xian Yin."

"No need to thank me, my lord, as long as you like it. Try it on and see if it fits," said Xian Yin, her face blossoming with beauty.

Qin Hao put it on, and it fit perfectly.

Xue Lingling remarked, "Wow, Master, you look handsome in this outfit."

"You little flatterer," Qin Hao said playfully.

Xue Lingling stuck her tongue out playfully, and Xian Yin felt satisfied, smiling softly, "Please sit down, my lord."

Qin Hao sat down in a chair, and Xian Yin, standing behind him, gently tied his long hair with a jade hairpin, making him look more handsome and heroic.

After finishing, Xian Yin blushed slightly and said, "How do you like it, my lord?"

Qin Hao looked and nodded with satisfaction. He indeed looked even more handsome than before, particularly with this outfit, which enhanced his demeanor.

Xue Lingling took out her gift, a brocade bag, "Master, this is the gift I give you, called the Peaceful Brocade Bag. Inside are my blessings for you, Master. Wearing it will make everything go smoothly for you."

She personally placed it on Qin Hao's waist, her expression serious yet adorable.

Qin Hao smiled, "Alright, let's pack up and get ready to leave."

The three tidied up and then left the inn for the Transmission Array in Jiuwu City. Yuxing State, being the county state of Yuxing County, had a vast expanse, almost twice the size of other states.

He could now only advance city by city via the Transmission Array. Only upon reaching Yuxing County City could he teleport freely within Yuxing County through the array there.

After hundreds of transmissions, Qin Hao and his companions finally arrived at Yuxing City's county seat, Yuxing City.

Yuxing City was enormous, seven or eight times the size of a common city, and it was divided into an inner and outer city.

They were currently in Yuxing City's outer city, which was large, occupying about eighty percent of Yuxing City. The remaining twenty percent comprised the inner city.

Only the noble or expert cultivators could normally reside in the inner city, though spending Spirit Stones could also grant entry.

Exiting the Transmission Array, Qin Hao said, "The Transmission Array to the northern cities of Yuxing County is in the inner city. Let's head there first."

"Hmm, Yuxing City looks so lively today," remarked Xian Yin, gazing around.

Xue Lingling laughed, "Today is the New Year Festival, and this is the county city, so it's surely bustling."

The trio strolled along the street, taking in the lively scenes around them. Shops and inns on both sides hung red lanterns and pasted couplets, filled with festive spirit.

"Master, Master, let's buy a little red lantern too?" Ling'er suggested, eyeing a stall selling lanterns.

Qin Hao nodded, leading the two over to buy two small red lanterns from a street stall, spending a low-grade Spirit Stone.

Walking along the street, Ling'er bounced around happily, "Master, Sister Xian Yin, you both come chase me!"

"Slow down, don't run around," Qin Hao cautioned as he noticed the crowded street.

A few minutes later, Ling'er exclaimed, "Oh no!" from ahead.

Qin Hao and Ling'er hurried over, only to find several middle-aged men blocking Ling'er, "Young lady, watch your path. Didn't you see someone in front of you?"

Xue Lingling retorted, "Clearly you intentionally blocked me."

"Bumping into us requires paying a price. I see you're quite pretty; you should fetch a good price. Take her away," said one of the burly middle-aged men.

Qin Hao and Xian Yin arrived just then, "Stop."
