Just as Zhao Tong had said, Long Ji and the others were indeed eagerly awaiting Luo Hao's return. Therefore, when Luo Hao stepped into the luxurious courtyard that they were staying in, Long Ji and the others swiftly came out to welcome him.

"You're finally back!"

The first to speak was obviously Long Ji.

However, Luo Hao only chuckled once, and then swept his gaze across Long Ji, Huangfu Tianyou, and Chen Han, his gaze in the end had a hint of disappointment.

"Where's Qiao Qingyun?"

Luo Hao didn't pay attention to Long Ji, but started to ask about news of Qiao Qingyun.

Hearing this, Huangfu Tianyou immediately became displeased, and said: "You brat, you are truly ungrateful. We are all worried about you, and you just need to ask us, you truly are a person who values women more than friends."

Huangfu Tianyou grumbled, but Luo Hao still laughed twice, and said: "You brat, forget it, don't make yourself so numb, and furthermore, Qiao Qingyun is my wife, I don't care about who she cares about."

At this time, Long Ji took over the conversation, and said: "Forget it, as long as I come back safely, in two days, the abyssal paleo-realm will open. I'm worried that you will miss this."

Luo Hao laughed: "Don't worry, I still have this concept of time. Moreover, how could I bear to miss this opportunity?"

"It looks like you've encountered a lot of good fortune this time."

Long Ji slightly narrowed his eyes. Naturally, he was talking about Luo Hao's cultivation, because before he left, Luo Hao's cultivation was not much different from his own. But now, with his cultivation of the eighth level of Soul Condensation Realm, he was actually unable to see through Luo Hao's current cultivation.

Then, there was only one explanation, Luo Hao's cultivation was higher than his.

He was originally a martial arts fanatic, so when Long Ji said this, it naturally aroused his curiosity. At the same time, Chen Han looked at Luo Hao with interest.

Moreover, he had also anticipated the reaction of Long Ji and the rest.

"He naturally encountered some good fortune."

Luo Hao said very calmly.

"What's your current cultivation level?"

Huangfu Tianyou could not wait and asked.

However, Luo Hao did not immediately reply. Instead, he looked at the rest of the people and slowly said one sentence: "First level of Soul Strengthening Realm."

When these words came out, Long Ji and the others were immediately petrified. Looking at their expressions, Zhao Tong was relieved, thinking that I was not the only one being shocked, my heart was also much more balanced.

"You don't have to do this, right?"

Luo Hao laughed.

However, their eyes were dull and they could not speak. The expressions they looked at Luo Hao with were all one: "What kind of monster are you?"

"Forget it, big brother. Let them slow down. I have only just recovered from my shock."

Zhao Tong laughed bitterly.

Luo Hao stretched out his hand and swayed it in front of Huangfu Tianyou's dumbstruck eyes, then shook his head somewhat inexplicably. At this moment, Qiao Qingyun finally walked out of the room.

Originally, the person she missed the most was Luo Hao, but after seeing Luo Hao, she appeared to be very calm and collected. She didn't seem to intentionally express that she was excited, but in reality, her heart was surging with emotions and was extremely happy.

"Wife!"

Luo Hao waved and shouted at Qiao Qingyun.

From far away, Qiao Qingyun rolled her eyes at Luo Hao, then leisurely walked over.

"What happened to them?"

Qiao Qingyun sized up Long Ji and the others with strange expressions, then looked at Luo Hao and asked.

"They were probably too happy when they saw it."

Luo Hao joked.

As he said that, he placed a hand on Qiao Qingyun's shoulder and pulled him over, smiling sinisterly: "The two of us will properly warm up, ignore them."

With that, without waiting for Qiao Qingyun to speak, Luo Hao pulled Qiao Qingyun inside the house, while Long Ji and the rest exited from their dazed state, only to discover that Luo Hao had already disappeared.

Long Ji and Huangfu Tianyou looked at each other.

Chen Han and Zhao Tong looked at each other.

After that, everyone retracted their gazes, and went back to their own rooms, but Long Ji had secretly arranged for some servants to prepare dinner. Since Luo Hao had returned today, he naturally had to take care of things for him, and even though the imperial palace was owned by his relatives, but as a prince, he did not treat himself as an outsider.

Naturally, Luo Hao was thick-skinned enough to go to Qiao Qingyun's room. Just as he closed the door, his hands disobediently began to grope about on Qiao Qingyun's body.

However, Qiao Qingyun's beautiful face reddened, and she hit Luo Hao's hand away.

"What do you want to do in broad daylight?"

Qiao Qingyun pretended to be angry and glared at Luo Hao.

However, Luo Hao said in an unconcerned tone: "You're already an old couple, what are you afraid of? Don't tell me you don't want to be your husband?"

Qiao Qingyun coldly snorted, and said: "You're still shameless, walking away for two months without any news at all, you know how to make people worry, you scoundrel."

As she spoke, Qiao Qingyun's pink hammer landed on Luo Hao's chest.

Luo Hao seized the opportunity and grabbed Qiao Qingyun's hand. He placed it in front of his nose and took a whiff, then chanted: "It's still as fragrant as before."

"Can you be more serious?"

Qiao Qingyun retracted her hand and turned her head.

Luo Hao laughed, pulled her into his embrace and said: "Alright, alright, I'll bring you next time okay?"

Qiao Qingyun snorted coldly, and ignored him.

"Why don't you believe me?"

"Quick, let's start from the fact that you're here. Are you trying to stir up trouble outside this time?"

Qiao Qingyun also did not answer him, but asked back.

Luo Hao said embarrassedly. Qiao Qingyun could naturally see that Luo Hao was not being honest this time, he did not know whose girl he had harmed.

"Looks like you're still so dishonest."

Luo Hao strongly pounded on Luo Hao's chest while acting coquettishly. Luo Hao was stunned for a moment, thinking to himself how it had been two months since they last met, and why did Qiao Qingyun become the same as Liu Fei.

But, thinking about it, Luo Hao realized that he had not seen Liu Fei for a long time. He wondered how she was doing.

"How could I be dishonest? I just met a soulmate on the way."

Luo Hao laughed.

Qiao Qingyun's face was full of disbelief, thinking, you're not acting like a soulmate anymore, it's more like an imperial harem.

Luo Hao had indeed met such a great beauty in Xunyao Mausoleum, and was even living and dying together with his. In his heart, he had thought of Situ Yanran the same as Qiao Qingyun and the others, but he did not know when they would meet again.

After all, she was the Genius Girl of the Earthly Paradise, and her position in the Earthly Paradise was not something that Zhou Xueying could compare with.

"The next time we meet Sky Phoenix and Liu Fei, I will definitely tell them about your viciousness and see how they will treat you."

For some reason, when he mentioned Sky Phoenix and Liu Fei, Luo Hao actually let go of the arms around Qiao Qingyun, and his eyes became a little dim.

"What's the matter with you?"

The meticulous Qiao Qingyun immediately noticed that something was amiss and immediately asked.

A hint of worry surfaced on Luo Hao's face as he explained, "I keep having the feeling that it's not a good thing for the Lei Family to take the Heavenly Phoenix away."

"This feeling is extremely strong."

He added later.

However, Qiao Qingyun smirked: "Heavenly Phoenix has good aptitude, she was selected by the Lei Family and was brought to be nurtured. This is her fate, why would she be in danger?"

Luo Hao was silent for a moment, then said: "The Heavenly Phoenix martial spirit is the rarely seen Rainbow Divine Phoenix, the level of this martial spirit is not inferior to the Dragon martial spirit in the slightest, I'm worried that …"

"Are you worried that the Lei Clan's people have their eyes on her martial spirit? The reason they raised her was to steal her martial spirit?"

Qiao Qingyun asked.

Luo Hao glanced at Qiao Qingyun. Even though he did not say it explicitly, Qiao Qingyun was able to say what she was thinking straight to the point, causing his heart to feel warm.

"Something like that."

Luo Hao nodded.

Qiao Qingyun thought for a while, then looked at Luo Hao: "Why don't we wait until after the trip to abyssal paleo-realm, and then go to Tianzhou to look for her?"

Luo Hao was startled. He was worried about Qiao Qingyun's personality in the past, and how could he get along with Lu Tianfeng and Liu Fei so easily. However, it seemed like he was overthinking things now.

Whether it was Qiao Qingyun or Lu Tianfeng, both of them were proud people in their hearts. In the beginning, they were naturally unwilling to share their love with others, but later on, they also understood that Luo Hao was no ordinary person, he would definitely become a strong warrior of his generation in the future. Such a person would definitely be admired by all women, and as long as he could hold a position in Luo Hao's heart, they would be very satisfied.

"Thank you."

Luo Hao laughed and once again hugged Qiao Qingyun. But this time, Qiao Qingyun was like a obedient little kitten that was nestled in Luo Hao's embrace, and whispered: "Idiot, why are you thanking me?"

Luo Hao did not say anything, he only looked out of the window quietly with a happy smile on his face.

The two of them carried on for a long time. Luo Hao took out two Flowing Core trees from his storage ring and gave them to Qiao Qingyun, telling her that she must refine them. The energy in the Flowing Core Wood was extremely strong.

The reason why Luo Hao did that was also to add a bit of security for the trip to abyssal paleo-realm in a few days.

Following that, Qiao Qingyun's room, was given Long Ji and the other three a Flowing Core Wood, and she also gave the Que Broken Sword to Zhao Tong. That sword was a treasure, and Luo Hao had specifically snatched it back for Zhao Tong, so naturally, Zhao Tong was extremely grateful, and could be said to be crying all over.

That Zhao Tong was even more so like a child, he patted his chest and said: "Big Brother, don't worry, I will definitely work hard, in the future, I will definitely not drag you down."

Luo Hao laughed out loud, and said: "I don't need you to become much stronger, as long as I can become stronger, it will be enough, because I can protect all of you."

This time, when he went out, he had a clear understanding of the meaning of his own life. He lived not only to save his father, but also to protect the people around him, no matter if they were his lovers or brothers.

And Luo Hao did not waste his time, after the few of them refined Luo Hao's Flowing Core Wood, their cultivation had all levelled up, which naturally made Luo Hao feel a sense of accomplishment.

That night, and the others drank and ate as much as they could, until the sun was about to rise. Luo Hao, who did not usually drink too much, had even drank himself into a puddle of mud.

In the end, it was Qiao Qingyun who helped him into the room.
