Chat group: Fusion of the Desolate Heavenly Emperor, Healer Willow Goddess

Page 145

Its tone was full of powerful confidence.

Upon hearing this, Shi Hao felt much more at ease. With Xiao Ta, a super fighter who had recovered some of his strength, plus Liu Shen and that equally unfathomable and ruthless empress…

It seems I can really roam freely in these eight lower realms.

After consolidating his cultivation and taking stock of his gains, Shi Hao slowly opened his eyes.

He first went to visit his parents and grandfather. Seeing that they were safe and sound, and seemed to have benefited from the baptism of the laws, Shi Hao felt a sense of relief.

The family reunited, sat together, chatted about everyday things, and the atmosphere was warm and harmonious.

Looking at their son, who has now grown into a strong and upright man, Shi Ziling and Qin Yining were filled with pride and honor, but also felt deeply guilty for not being able to fulfill their responsibilities as parents back then.

Shi Hao naturally offered kind words of comfort, telling them that there was no need to dwell on the past, and that what mattered was that the family could live happily together in the future.

Aman and Shi Qingfeng nestled close to their elders, their faces beaming with innocent smiles.

For them, being able to be with the young master (the older brother) and the elders is the greatest happiness.

Warm family time always passes too quickly. Shi Hao knew he still had a lot to do.

He arrived in the courtyard, where Huo Ling'er was already waiting.

Having fought side by side and shared heartwarming daily moments in Ishimura, their relationship had long surpassed that of ordinary comrades. Although neither of them had said it outright, their feelings for each other were already self-evident.

Moreover, the two were engaged and had given themselves to each other.

"You rascal, you've finished your cultivation?" Huo Ling'er saw Shi Hao come out and a sweet smile appeared on her pretty face. She naturally stepped forward and straightened his slightly messy clothes.

"Mm." Shi Hao nodded, his heart softening as he looked at the beautiful, fiery girl before him. He reached out and gently stroked her delicate nose, smiling, "What? Getting impatient?"

"Hmph! Who's waiting for you!"

Huo Ling'er blushed and turned her head away haughtily, but the happy smile on her lips couldn't be hidden.

Chapter 106: Queen Medusa's Beast Milk! The Ruthless Empress Stays in the Village! Human Emperor Shi Hao!

After exchanging a few more jokes, Shi Hao turned his gaze to the other side of the courtyard.

There, six stunning beauties from different worlds were gathered together, whispering to each other.

Upon seeing Shi Hao emerge, they all stopped talking and turned their gazes toward him.

"Little brother, you've finally emerged from seclusion!" Huang Rong was the first to greet him with a smile. "Congratulations! Your aura has become so much stronger! Did you break through to that Venerable Realm?"

"Hehe, just lucky," Shi Hao said modestly.

"Wow! You really broke through?! Xiao Shihao, you're amazing!" Yan Lingji's beautiful eyes shone, and she didn't hold back her praise.

Yun Yun, Lu Xueqi, Medusa, and others also stepped forward to offer their congratulations, their eyes filled with amazement and admiration.

Although they also made great progress in strength during this period, compared with Shi Hao's rocket-like cultivation speed, they still seemed somewhat... far behind.

Shi Hao smiled and chatted with his older sisters, sharing his joy after the breakthrough, and the atmosphere became lively again.

The goddesses also presented Shi Hao with specialties from their respective worlds or carefully prepared gifts as a congratulatory gesture.

Huang Rong presented him with a "Different World Cuisine Recipe Book," which she had meticulously compiled based on ingredients and cooking techniques from the Great Wilderness, combined with knowledge from her own world, indicating that she would take over Shi Hao's meals from now on.

Yan Lingji then took out a "Seven-Colored Fire Jade" containing peculiar energy, saying that she had found it in an ancient volcano in the Baiyue region.

Although Yun Yun and Medusa did not bring out any specific items, they both expressed that they would do their best to help Shi Hao if he needed anything in the future.

Lu Xueqi remained aloof, but handed Shi Hao a protective jade talisman that she had personally crafted, imbued with a trace of the profound and pure Daoist essence of Tai Chi.

Feng Baobao then... pulled out a handful of seemingly ordinary sunflower seeds from her pocket, "Oh, these are delicious, here you go."

Looking at these gifts full of "heartfelt sentiments," Shi Hao was both amused and exasperated, but he still solemnly accepted them one by one.

Just as everyone was enjoying themselves and exchanging ideas,

A slightly unexpected sound rang out.

"Young friend Shi Hao."

It was Queen Medusa who spoke, despite maintaining her aloof demeanor.

She walked up to Shi Hao, and a very subtle hint of hesitation seemed to flash in her long, cold snake eyes.

She took out a crystal-clear jade bottle from her storage ring. Inside the bottle was a viscous liquid, like amethyst, that emitted a strange and subtle fragrance.

"This... is our snake-people's unique 'Amethyst Royal Jelly,' produced by amethyst jade bees fed with hundreds of kinds of spiritual flowers and exotic herbs. It contains extremely pure energy, and perhaps... it will be of some use to your cultivation."

She handed the jade bottle to Shi Hao, her tone still carrying a hint of queenly arrogance, but the slight redness at her ears betrayed her inner turmoil.

The goddesses around were slightly taken aback when they saw this scene, and then revealed ambiguous smiles.

Yan Lingji and Huang Rong, in particular, exchanged a glance and revealed an expression of "I knew it".

Shi Hao looked at the arrogant queen in front of him. She had actually sent him "beast milk"? And it looked to be the extremely precious kind?

He found it somewhat amusing, but still reached out and took the jade bottle, saying with a smile, "Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty. This does look quite nice."

Having received Shi Hao's "approval," Queen Medusa seemed to breathe a sigh of relief. She snorted coldly and said nothing more, turning back to her original position. However, the slight upturn of her lips showed that she seemed to be in a good mood at the moment.

……

Warm gatherings are always too short.

After staying in Stone Village for a few more days and confirming that the desolate region had temporarily returned to peace and that the giants from the upper realm would not easily descend again in the short term, they concluded that this was the case.

The goddesses Huang Rong, Yan Lingji, Yun Yun, Lu Xueqi, Medusa, and Feng Baobao have finally reached the point where they should return to their respective worlds.

The moment of parting was naturally filled with reluctance.

"Little brother, you must remember to think of me! I'll bring you some even better dishes when I come up with them!" Huang Rong said, holding Shi Hao's hand, her eyes red-rimmed.

"Little Shi Hao~ I'll miss you so much~ You must come to Baiyue to see me next time~ I'll dance for you~" Yan Ling Ji gave Shi Hao a big hug, almost suffocating him.

Although Yun Yun and Lu Xueqi were not so overt in their farewells, they solemnly bid farewell to Shi Hao and once again promised to help him in the future.

Queen Medusa simply nodded coldly, as if to say goodbye.

Feng Baobao, still with that adorable look, said, "Oh, I have to go now. See you next time, little brother Shi Hao. Remember to bring me some delicious food."

Looking at the sisters in front of him, whom he had become friends with through the chat group and who were now as close as family, Shi Hao felt a pang of sadness at parting.

He also presented his carefully prepared "return gift"—

There were precious pills containing the essence of Kunpeng's true blood, jade slips inscribed with parts of the Six Paths of Reincarnation Fist Intent, rune stone carvings containing the rudiments of the Thunder Emperor's Treasure Technique, and even some diluted Spring of Immortality...

These things are invaluable treasures for goddesses, enough to allow them to undergo another transformation!

Wow! Little brother, you're so kind!

"This is... Kunpeng's true blood?!"

"It also contains the essence of the Samsara Fist?!"

The goddesses were once again amazed by Shi Hao's generosity when they saw the "local specialties" he brought out! They all beamed with joy, and their previous sorrow at parting was greatly relieved.

They knew that with these things, their future path would be much broader!

Finally, amidst reluctant farewells, the six goddesses—Huang Rong, Yan Lingji, Yun Yun, Lu Xueqi, Medusa, and Feng Baobao—transformed into streams of light and returned to their respective worlds through the chat group's function.

The courtyard fell silent instantly.

Looking at the empty courtyard, Shi Hao felt a little disappointed.

However, he quickly regained his composure.

Because there was a special "guest" who had not yet left.

Ruthless Empress.

This stunningly beautiful and mysterious empress unexpectedly chose to... stay in Stone Village for the time being.

Although Shi Hao was somewhat surprised, he naturally expressed his warm welcome.

With such an unfathomable figure guarding Stone Village, plus Master Liu Shen, the safety level of Stone Village is practically maxed out!

After seeing off the goddesses, Shi Hao took a deep breath and turned his gaze back into the distance.

He knew that the peaceful days wouldn't last long.

The shadow of the Great Calamity in the Desolate Region still looms large, and those lineages in the Upper Realm whose leaders were killed will never let this go unpunished.

And then there is the even more vast upper realm, filled with unknowns and challenges...

His journey is still long!

However, he was no longer the naive and helpless boy he once was.

Venerable Realm 893! 9647460

He has finally stepped into this entirely new realm!

He has the confidence and ability to face all future challenges and protect everything he cherishes!

As dawn broke, golden rays of light scattered like fragments of gold across the tranquil and peaceful stone village.

After several days of adjustment and consolidation, Shi Hao finally stabilized completely from the profound state of breaking through to the Venerable Realm.

The power within his body surged like a raging sea, his spirit and will were unwavering and indestructible, and the single grotto-heaven that had merged with ten other grotto-heavens was like a nascent universe, constantly absorbing the essence of heaven and earth, evolving the mysteries of the Great Dao.

He is now a genuine Venerable Realm expert! Looking across the entire Lower Realm's Eight Domains, he is certainly a powerful figure, possessing the true capital to establish himself in this world.

In the courtyard, beneath the willow tree. 9

Shi Hao solemnly bowed deeply to the Willow Goddess, whose countless willow branches swayed and whose divine radiance was restrained, and to the ruthless empress beside her, dressed in white with unparalleled beauty and grace.

"Willow Goddess, Empress Sister," Shi Hao's voice carried a hint of reluctance, yet was filled with determination, "The chaos in the desolate region has already begun to unfold, and I cannot remain holed up in Stone Village forever. I wish to take this opportunity to venture out again, seek opportunities, hone my skills, and prepare for the true calamity to come."

The willow branches swayed gently, and a warm and wise thought entered Shi Hao's mind: "Go. Great trees don't grow in greenhouses. True strength is forged in blood and fire. Your journey is long; seeing a wider world will benefit your future growth."

He paused, then added, "However, the outside world is dangerous, so be careful in everything you do. Remember, no matter when or where, Ishimura will always be your support."

The ruthless empress beside him merely glanced at Shi Hao calmly without saying a word, but a hint of barely perceptible expectation seemed to flash in her eyes, which seemed to see through countless cycles of reincarnation.

With the "approval" of the two bigwigs, Shi Hao felt much more at ease.

He turned around and looked at his family members who were already waiting on the side.

Grandpa Shi Zhongtian's eyes were filled with worry and pride. He patted his grandson's shoulder, his voice slightly hoarse: "Good boy, go! Remember, no matter what difficulties you encounter, you must stay true to yourself! Grandpa believes in you, you will definitely be able to create a world of your own!"

Shi Ziling and Qin Yining's eyes were red, and they had a thousand words they wanted to say, but in the end, they could only say one sentence: "Hao'er, take care of yourself and come back soon! Your parents... are waiting for you to come home!"

"Little brother! You must be careful! Ah Man is waiting for you to come back!" Ah Man tugged at Shi Hao's clothes, her eyes filled with tears, her face full of reluctance.
