Title alongside King?
After hearing Qian Renxue's words, Qin Xiao's face finally showed a look of surprise.
The reward from Qian Renxue indeed exceeded his expectations.
In name, he would also become a supreme existence within the Tiandou Empire.
Qin Xiao took a deep look at the woman standing before him and exclaimed, "I didn't expect you to be willing to spend so much to woo me!"
"This is what you deserve, if it hadn't been for you, the Avalanche would still be in charge of the Tiandou Empire."
"So, at least half of my success is due to you."
Qian Renxue spoke indifferently.
This was not an attempt to flatter Qin Xiao, but the truth.
If not for Qin Xiao, her identity would have been exposed during the upheaval at the Heaven Dou Palace.
"Since that's the case..."
At that moment, Qin Xiao made his decision, "I refuse."
That's right.
He still chose to refuse.
With his current cultivation level, most of the things he wanted were within easy reach.
If there was something he couldn't obtain now, the Title alongside King of the Tiandou Empire couldn't obtain it either.
Therefore, this title was of no use to him.
If it was of no use, then why bother with it?
It would only add another layer of constraints to him invisibly.
Qin Xiao was someone who disliked restraints.
"What? You still choose to refuse?"
The voice that sounded was not Qian Renxue's, but the Porcupine Douluo's.
A Title alongside King...
A status far more esteemed than that of an Elder of Martial Soul Hall, and Qin Xiao actually refused?
What exactly did he want?
"Alright!"
Strangely enough, after hearing Qin Xiao's words, Qian Renxue was unexpectedly calm, "If you are unwilling, then so be it."
"But you should take this."
Saying so, she tossed a golden token to Qin Xiao.
Qin Xiao caught it and played with it curiously, asking, "What is this?"
"This token is a symbol of the emperor's identity, with it, you may move freely within the Tiandou Empire, and possessing it also grants you the power over life and death.
Furthermore, if you encounter any difficulty, you can also seek help with this token in any city within the Tiandou Empire."
"Of course, for the last function, I think you probably won't need it."
After listening to Qinghe's explanation, Qin Xiao understood that the actual use of this token was akin to the Imperial Sword.
"Alright, then I'll accept this item," Qin Xiao said this time without refusing.
After all, Qian Renxue had been showing goodwill towards him all along, there was no need to repeatedly rebuff her.
"Mr. Qin, please feel free."
Seeing Qin Xiao tuck away the token, Qian Renxue stretched out her hand to him, indicating that he was free to go.
"Heh, quite straightforward this time."
"By the way, I quite like your outfit today, it has a feminine touch."
Qin Xiao chuckled, waved his hand, and a moment later, his figure completely disappeared into the night.
"Huff..."
It was at this point that Qian Renxue exhaled deeply and then slowly sat down on the throne.
"I don't need your liking anyway!"
Reflecting on what Qin Xiao had said before he left, Qian Renxue spoke in a huff.
However, perhaps recalling something, her cheeks flushed red again.
This...never mind, let's just pretend I'm blind and saw nothing... Porcupine Douluo pretended he hadn't seen anything.
...
A cool breeze wafted through.
Walking along the street, Qin Xiao felt a lot clearer-headed.
He didn't hurry back to Blue Tyrant Academy, but kept thinking about his recent experiences.
"Life really is full of uncertainties; I didn't expect to have actually annihilated the Hao Tian Clan..."
He sighed to himself.
But he had no regrets.
Any threat must be nipped in the bud, not when it truly starts to threaten oneself, as that would truly be regrettable.
"What must be done next is to take control of Sea God's Island. Once Sea God's Island is in my hands, Tang Hao and his son Tang San won't be able to turn anything upside down. In two more days, once Tiandou City's matters are settled, I'll set off for Sea God's Island," Qin Xiao planned.
With this thought, he subconsciously touched the faint mark on his forehead, which was hardly noticeable to ordinary people.
Then he remembered another matter, Slaughter City.
"It's been a few days since I left, I wonder how Slaughter City is now. Has the blood-colored swan's kiss spread its poison?" he pondered with a frown.
While he was deep in thought, a voice suddenly came from afar.
"Brother Qin, please wait."
Qin Xiao stopped and instinctively looked towards the source of the voice.
As far as his eyes could see, Sect Master Ning, Ning Fengzhi, and Sword Douluo were coming side by side.
"Sect Master Ning?" Upon seeing this, Qin Xiao had an inkling that Ning Fengzhi must have come to bring him money.
As expected.
When Ning Fengzhi came closer, he handed a Black Card to Qin Xiao first, saying, "Brother Qin, this card contains ten million soul coins, consider it your share for liquidating the Hao Tian Clan."
"Oh?" Qin Xiao paused for a moment, then said with an implied depth, "Sect Master Ning, this amount seems incorrect?"
When the treasury was being opened, he was present. The Hao Tian Clan's remaining soul coins came to no more than eighteen or nineteen million in total, and they had agreed to split it fifty-fifty; he couldn't possibly get this many soul coins.
"Haha, indeed, it is a bit off; I rounded it up and added a bit, to make it an even number," Ning Fengzhi chuckled, "Brother Qin, just take it."
Such rounding up...
Qin Xiao muttered to himself, having to admit Ning Fengzhi truly knew how to be personable.
A high EQ indeed.
"Then thank you, Sect Master Ning," without another word of refusal, Qin Xiao took the Black Card and put it away.
