  “Lil Hao!”

  His uncle walked out and smiled warmly. He glanced at Qin Xiangyi and smiled mischievously. “Your fiance?”

  “Yes!” Tang Hao nodded.

  “That’s true. You’re not young anymore! In a few years, you’ll have a baby!” His uncle smiled.

  Qin Xiangyi’s pretty face blushed as she stepped forward and greeted Tang Hao’s uncle.

  Tang Hao stood at the door and began to chat with his uncle.

  His aunt stood at the door of his house and did not come out. She had an embarrassed look on her face.

  After chatting for a while, Tang Hao took out his key and opened the door of his house.

  The door was very old and was slightly decayed from insects.

  As soon as he pushed open the door, a cloud of dust surged out from inside.

  The house had been empty for almost one and a half years and was covered in dust.

  Tang Hao waved his hand and waited for the dust to settle before he walked in with Qin Xiangyi.

  She curiously looked to her left and right.

  “This is where you used to live?” She exclaimed as she walked upstairs and arrived at Tang Hao’s room.

  “It’s pretty shabby, right?” Tang Hao said.

  Qin Xiangyi shook her head and held his hand. She said gently, “It’s not shabby at all. Any place you lived has a special meaning to me.”

  Tang Hao felt warmth in his heart as he held her hand tightly.

  They hugged each other gently for a moment before someone called them downstairs for lunch.

  Tang Hao held her hand and walked to the village committee. Almost the entire village was there.

  Tang Hao sat down, and the banquet began. The atmosphere was extremely lively.

  The banquet ended after eating for more than two hours.

  In the afternoon, Tang Hao and Tang Dashun discussed the new plot of land.

  He decided to accept the plot of land after thinking about it. After all, this was his hometown. He would build a new house, which he could stay in temporarily whenever he felt like it.

  After the discussions, Tang Hao bid farewell to the villagers and returned to the village entrance. He got in the car and left.

  Qin Xiangyi brought him to survey the site of the new clothing factory.

  The site covered several hundred acres of land, and construction of the new factory had begun. The factory building and office building were designed according to the highest standards, which was quite expensive.

  Tang Hao had paid for most of it.

  The new factory was also closer to home. It was less than ten minutes by car.

  “I’m not Boss Qin or Factory Manager Qin anymore. Remember, call me President, President Qin!”

  The car stopped on a piece of barren land not far from the factory.

  In the car, Qin Xiangyi hugged him and giggled.

  Her beautiful eyes narrowed into the shape of crescent moons.

  She bit her lips with her pearly white teeth. The light in her eyes was charming and somewhat seductive.

  “Yes! President Qin!”

  Tang Hao’s heart warmed up. He gave in to his instincts and pushed her down.

  In an instant, a cry of surprise followed by a gentle moan spread far and wide across the barren land.

  Chapter 608 - Impenetrable Defense

  Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

  One morning, Tang Hao came to Dragonrock village.

  The appearance of Dragonrock Village had transformed once more. There were more new houses, more new cars, and some gentrification.

  In the past, the village was especially poor, but now, it was considered upper-middle class.

  When the car drove in, it attracted the villagers’ attention.

  “Ah! It’s Lil Hao!”

  They were very familiar with the Audi A8.

  Tang Hao stopped in front of his grandmother’s house and got out of the car. Immediately, many villagers came up and warmly greeted Tang Hao.

  After exchanging greetings with the villagers and greeting his grandparents and other relatives, Tang Hao entered the mountain.

  Once he was out of view of the others, he picked up his speed and started running. In about ten minutes, he entered the valley that was deep in the mountains.

  The valley was filled with the fragrance of wine.

  The golden Liquor Tree stood there. It was an especially eye-catching sight.

  Not far away was the pond to produce spirit jade.

  The pond water was deep red. It was made from the blood of all kinds of exotic beasts, mixed with spiritual items such as lingzhi and ginseng.

  The jade pieces were soaked in the pond.

  Tang Hao came to the side of the small pond and inspected the jade pieces. He selected several pieces and put them into his bag. He added some more ingredients to the pond and filled ten barrels of divine liquor before leaving.

  He went to the company and stayed there until the afternoon. In the evening, he made dinner and ate with Qin Xiangyi. After that, Tang Hao then began to craft Artifacts.

  For the past few days, he had been preparing for that.

  The Artifacts he made came in sets, just like talisman formations.

  If a specific arrangement of jade talismans was called a talisman formation, a specific arrangement of Artifacts would be called an Artifact formation. Its power was far greater than individual Artifacts.

  He worked nonstop until dawn when the final jade pendant was finished.

  Tang Hao put the jade pendant down and let out a long sigh.

  After all thirty-six jade pendants had been completed, the next step was to bury them.

  The Artifact formation was used for defense. In the past, Tang Hao had buried many defensive Artifacts around his house. Now, it was time to upgrade them.

  There might be no danger now, but it was always good to prepare for a rainy day.

  He planned to craft a few more formations. He not only wanted to protect his own house but also the entire Celestial Foothill Gardens. He wanted to shield the area with indestructible walls.

  In the future, he planned to craft several formations for Qin Xiangyi’s new factory and Haotian Plaza, which were still under construction.

  He explored the area around his house, dug deep pits, and buried the jade pendants inside. There were thirty-six of them, which corresponded to the number of Tiangang gods in Taoism.

  After burying the jade pendants, Tang Hao clapped his hands and tested them a little before returning to his house.

  Qin Xiangyi’s birthday would be in a few days.

  Tang Hao accompanied her back to Greenwillow village, where they held her birthday party. He invited Liu Dajun, Qin Gang, and the others.

  In a few days, it would be Christmas.

  The couple was not very enthusiastic about Western festivities, and they celebrated it without fanfare.

  After Christmas, Tang Hao stayed in Westridge for another two days before returning to Provincial City.

  He had stayed in Westridge for about half a month.

  In that period, the trailer became more widespread and attracted more attention. The Weibo account had accrued more than five hundred thousand followers.

  They received a lot of praise, but at the same time, there was also a lot of criticism.

  At Tianze Entertainment, Bing Yao’s first album had been produced and was going to be released soon.

  They left at noon and arrived at Provincial City at about three o’clock.

  Tang Hao sent Han Yutong home and went to Haotian Pictures.

  It was almost eight o’clock when he got home.

  Tang Hao parked his car, walked out of the underground parking lot, and was about to go upstairs. He looked at the entrance to his apartment and was surprised.

  There was a figure wandering there as if waiting for someone.

  The light at the entrance was dim, outlining a graceful silhouette.

>   Her back was facing Tang Hao, and her head was lowered. She shivered occasionally in the cold.

  Tang Hao’s footsteps paused, and he was stunned for a long time.

  At that moment, she turned around, lowered her head, and walked over. “Why aren’t you back yet?” She muttered.

  As she spoke, she shivered again.

  She wore a dress, revealing her slender legs. She was obviously not dressed for the weather.

  That made her seem even more pitiful.

  Tang Hao’s gaze softened, and he felt tenderness in his heart. He did not say a word and walked toward her.

  When she heard the sound of footsteps, she lifted her head and exclaimed in surprise.

  That pair of beautiful eyes instantly lit up, and she revealed a bright and beautiful smile.

  “You’re back!” She called out sweetly.

  She was startled when she saw that Tang Hao did not say anything, and his expression was stiff. The smile on her face froze, seemingly at a loss.

  ‘Did I come at a bad time?’ That was her first thought.

  Her mind began to wander. It was as if her entire body had been immersed in an ice cellar.

  Tang Hao remained silent. He walked up to her, and a garment suddenly appeared in his hand. It was a fur coat, which he draped over her body.

  She was startled again.

  The coat on her body was unbelievably warm. In just a short while, it had completely dispelled the coldness on her body.

  She no longer trembled. Her pale face regained some color, and she felt some warmth in her heart.

  “How long have you been waiting?” Tang Hao asked.

  “Not… not very long…” She stammered.

  “Not very long?”

  “I came at six o’clock…” she lowered her head and averted Tang Hao’s gaze.

  Tang Hao was surprised. It had been almost two hours past six o’clock.

  ‘She stood outdoors for two hours dressed in that? She must have suffered!’

  “Silly girl! Don’t you know how to call me?” Tang Hao said helplessly.

  “I… I want to give you a surprise!” She stammered.

  Tang Hao was speechless.

  Liu Bingyao had asked him the day before about the time he would be back home. He replied that he would be back in the afternoon, not thinking too much about it. He did not expect that she would be waiting for him outside his apartment.

  If he knew, he would have gotten home earlier.

  “Silly!” Tang Hao shook his head and smiled helplessly. “Let’s go in and have a seat!”

  Liu Bingyao shook her head. “No… I have something to do later. I need to go home and stream. The popularity charts will refresh tomorrow, and I need to work hard.”

  “I see!”

  “This is for you. It’s my album. I told you that I want you to be the first to listen to it.”

  She handed a small bag to Tang Hao.

  Tang Hao nodded and took it.

  Both of them fell silent. Their eyes met, and the atmosphere was a little awkward.

  “Then… I’ll be going!”

  She prepared to take off her coat as she said that.

  “Don’t! This is for you! It’s new,” Tang Hao said hurriedly.

  “This… is very expensive, right?” She hesitated.

  “Not at all. Take it! I’ll send you home!” Tang Hao said.

  She hesitated for a moment, then nodded and followed Tang Hao into the car.

  Chapter 609 - Duel Me If You Dare

  After quitting school, Liu Bingyao moved to a residential area near Tianze Entertainment.

  Tang Hao sent her home and went back.

  When he got home, he inserted the CD into his computer and started to watch.

  The music video was very beautiful and refreshing. Every frame could be used as a desktop wallpaper, which amazed Tang Hao.

  She went through many poses and styles in the video, but the only thing that remained unchanged was her unique aura.

  Tang Hao was wholly engrossed in the video. After watching it, he craved for more.

  “At least the money I spent on the company is put into good use!” Tang Hao muttered satisfactorily.

  Filming a music video was quite expensive. Moreover, they had hired a renowned director.

  He watched it again, then turned off the player and tuned in to Sky Live.

  After waiting for a while, the stream started.

  Immediately, the number of viewers started to rise, reaching tens of thousands in the blink of an eye. Before they knew it, the number had reached a hundred thousand.

  The comments on the bullet screen rolled past like a storm cloud.

  “It’s finally open! I’ve waited for so long!”

  “My goddess! I’m here!”

  “Z University fan club, reporting in!”

  “Tieba fan club, reporting in!”

  The number of viewers continued to increase at a crazy speed. In less than a minute, it had already reached one million. The number left Tang Hao speechless.

  However, when he noticed that she had more than four million subscribers, the number of viewers did not seem that remarkable.

  The bullet screen instantly exploded when Liu Bingyao’s pretty face appeared on the screen.

  The comments covered the entire screen. Nothing could be seen other than the bullet screen.

  “The goddess is so beautiful. I’m licking my screen!”

  Many people professed to licking the screen. Following that were people who confessed their feelings to her. Many viewers also sent her gifts.

  For a moment, the screen was a dazzling display of gifts and IDs.

  Suddenly, a rocket flew across the screen. The ID on the rocket was glimmering and was quite flashy.

  Flying Fish!

  This ID was a shiny gold color. One could immediately tell that the person was a whale.

  Another rocket appeared.

  The rockets gathered into a large wave and rolled across the screen. It was a spectacular sight.

  Everyone was shocked.

  “Tycoon Fish is here!”

  “Oh my god! Tycoon Fish has appeared again! Is he really going to snatch the top spot? Let me see. He’s still quite a distance away from Tycoon Qing Feng!”

  “Add oil, Tycoon Fish!”

  The bullet comments exploded again.

  The number of viewers continued to increase rapidly. In just a few minutes, the number had reached one and a half million. Liu Bingyao’s channel also appeared on the main page and occupied the number one ranking.

  “Flying Fish?”

  Looking at the screen full of rockets, Tang Hao frowned.

  He was not familiar with the ID. When he looked at the contribution rankings, he realized that the ID had surpassed Fang Qiming and already reached the second spot.

  “He should be a new subscriber!” Tang Hao mumbled.

  He did not tune in the last few streams because he was preoccupied with other things.

  “Qing Feng? He’s nothing to me. I’ll grab the top spot today! If he has the guts, come out and fight with me. I’ll crush him! If he doesn’t come out, he’s a coward!”

  Flying Fish spoke in a domineering manner.

  Instantly, the live stream was in an uproar.

  “LOLOL! How domineering, Tycoon Fish!”

  “Hurry up and fire your rockets, Tycoon Fish. We’re waiting for you to take first place!”

  Many of them were instigating.

  There were others who mocked him, “You dare to compete with Tycoon Qing Feng? Don’t you know who he is?”

  “Who cares who he is? I’m not interested! In any case, he can’t be as powerful as me! If he has the guts, then he’d better show up! Let’s have a showdown!” Flying Fish responded.

  Tang Hao felt a little unhappy when he saw that.

  ‘This guy is too arrogant. He wants to crush me? Ha!
What a joke. He’s not going to do that unless he has a few billion!’

  He did not say anything and started to recharge his account.

  “Haha! Look, that guy is scared!” Flying Fish continued to mock Tang Hao.

  He fired one rocket after another. Finally, he made it to the first rank.

  In an instant, congratulatory LOLOLs filled the bullet screen.

  At that moment, a rocket with an eye-catching ID appeared on the screen.

  The bullet screen fell silent for a few seconds.

  In the next moment, it exploded.

  “Tycoon Qing Feng is here!”

  “Oh my god, he’s really here. Will there be another rocket battle?”

  The atmosphere in the stream was frenzied.

  Tang Hao did not stop tapping, and rockets began to flood the screen. In just a short while, he had reclaimed the top spot.

  “Hmph! You’ve got some guts! Alright, let’s compete and see who’s chicken!”

  Flying Fish also started to flood the screen with rockets.

  Another rocket battle had begun.

  The shockwave from the battle spread across the entire Sky Live platform once more.

  All the streamers and viewers were dumbfounded.

  “It’s Bingyao again! Dammit, why can’t I be as lucky?”

  The other female streamers were extremely envious.

  More and more people swarmed towards the live broadcast room. Liu Bingyao’s popularity skyrocketed once again.

  Liu Bingyao’s petite mouth was slightly agape as she looked at the screen in a daze.

  The rocket battle had dumbfounded her. She did not say anything and watched silently.

  Three minutes passed…

  Five minutes…

  The two Ids were still fighting after ten minutes. With his superhuman hand speed, Tang Hao led by a wide margin. The other party started to become angry out of embarrassment.

  After a while, he started cursing.

  Tang Hao ignored him and fired more rockets happily.

  A few minutes later, Flying Fish began to slow down. It seemed that he could not take it anymore.

  After a while, he completely stopped. There was no movement for a long time.

  “LOLOL! Tycoon Qing Feng has won again! What Flying Fish? What Young Master Windchaser? They’re all no match for him! He’s the one and only!”
