After saying that, she turned and walked towards the side room. Chen Hao took a deep breath and followed closely behind.

The door was pushed open, and a cool, pleasant fragrance wafted out.

A tall, slender figure stood quietly by the window, his back to the door.

"Hanyan, this is Chen Huzhi. I told you he's a loyal and reliable person."

Madam Su spoke up.

The figure slowly turned around.

Chen Hao's breath hitched slightly.

The woman in front of them was the complete opposite of Su Wanqing.

If Su Wanqing is like a plump and juicy peach in summer.

Su Hanyan is the ice lotus of the snow mountain.

She was tall and slender, with a waist so thin it could be grasped in one hand, and long, straight legs.

Her beautiful face had narrow, phoenix-shaped eyes with slightly upturned corners, giving her an aloof, noble, and stunning appearance.

Beneath that icy demeanor lies a stunningly beautiful figure capable of making any man's blood boil.

Beneath the white robe, her proud, massive breasts could be easily glimpsed from the neckline. Her enormous buttocks pushed the robe high, revealing her long, slender, snow-white legs, making her appear almost entirely legs.

Aloofness and allure, two completely opposite qualities, are combined into one, creating a striking contrast between the upper and lower body on her noble and cold face.

It makes men want to kneel down at her feet, hug her legs and lick her jade feet wildly.

"You're Chen Hao?"

Su Hanyan glanced at Chen Hao.

"It is indeed I, and I have met the Second Miss."

"You've got some guts, standing so straight when you see me."

Chen Hao didn't speak, he just looked at her silently.

He understood that a woman like this, with her exceptional talent, beauty, and figure, would never lack men.

He didn't know what the Su family was thinking, so he decided to adapt to any situation.

The two were silent for a moment, then Su Hanyan revealed a smile that was hard to decipher.

"I have come to see you today because I want to ask you a question in person."

"Do you want to marry me?"

Chen Hao was taken aback.

He hadn't expected Su Hanyan to be so direct.

I never expected that these words would come from the mouth of such a cold and aloof woman.

Chen Hao was speechless for a moment.

Seeing that he didn't speak, Su Hanyan laughed even harder.

"What? You're afraid to speak? Or do you not know what to say?"

"I, Su Hanyan, am not an easy person to talk to. The clan wants me to marry someone to keep my heart and my person, and I understand all of this."

To tell you the truth

"I am a woman with extremely strong desires. Ordinary men are nothing but a bunch of timid and useless wretches in front of me. Even the most outstanding men would have to kneel on the ground and obey my orders."

"I love being queen."

"I want to tame all men with guts."

"And you... dare to be my man?"

Chen Hao quickly calculated in his mind.

Su Hanyan, the second young lady of the Su family, possesses the Xuanbing Physique and is a genius of the family.

Such a woman is definitely not someone a cultivator in the mid-stage of Qi Refining could be worthy of.

The reason the Su family wants to marry her off to him is probably because she has been in the sect for too long and has forgotten her family.

Therefore, we need to keep her in check so that she doesn't completely side with the sect and forget her family.

What he needed was never love or beautiful women.

What he wants is a reward.

The "Mighty Bull Demon Skill" promised by Madam Su is a cultivation resource provided by the Su family.

There's also the reward that his mysterious "golden touch" will give him after completing this marriage.

These are the things he truly values.

As for Su Hanyan's personality, whether she prefers to be a queen or a slave, what does it have to do with him?

What he wants are cultivation resources, not people.

Moreover, Su Hanyan herself is also interested and will never give up cultivation. She will most likely return to Qingjing Temple to cultivate after marriage.

Since no one will stay at home, this marriage is an extremely profitable deal.

The most worthwhile trade in the world is exchanging a vague title for tangible resources.

With that in mind, Chen Hao no longer hesitated.

"dare."

One word: unwavering.

A hint of surprise flashed across Su Hanyan's eyes.

"Interesting, you've got some nerve."

"I understand what the elders in the clan are thinking. They are afraid that if I stay in the sect for too long, I will forget that my roots are in the Su family. They are afraid that if I really achieve something in the future, they will not be able to keep me."

"That's why I'm willing to marry you, to give them an explanation and to put my mind at ease. To let them rest assured that I, Su Hanyan, am still a member of the Su family."

Chen Hao nodded, remaining expressionless.

"The second young lady is quite frank."

"I've said it before, I don't like beating around the bush."

"After the marriage, I will not stay in the Su family. I will return to Qingjing Temple to continue my cultivation. My path is not in this small Su family."

"However, now that you've taken on this official title, I won't let you suffer any losses. Men's desires are too strong; if you want it..."

Her gaze slowly moved down, landing on her long, slender, snow-white legs beneath her robe.

"I can make an exception and use my legs to solve it for you."

Chen Hao paused for a moment, then shook his head.

"What kind of person does the Second Miss think I am?"

"Although I, Chen Hao, come from a humble background, I know what I should and shouldn't take. The Second Miss has already said that the marriage is merely to appease the clan. In that case, I am naturally only focused on the Su family's resources."

He met Su Hanyan's gaze.

"We each got what we needed, that's all, but this matter isn't over yet."

"Since Miss is so straightforward, then I, Chen, will not hide anything from you either."

"To be honest, I didn't have much of an opinion about this marriage. The Su family was already very kind to take me in and give me food. If Madam wants me to be a bodyguard, then I will be a bodyguard. If Madam wants me to marry the second young lady, then I will marry her."

"But after hearing what the Second Miss said just now..."

Chen Hao shook his head, his tone becoming meaningful.

"I suddenly realize that this marriage is quite risky."

"Are you trying to negotiate with me?"

"This isn't about negotiating terms; it's about reasoning with the second young lady."

"Second Miss has cultivated at Qingjing Temple for many years, possessing exceptional talent and a noble status. The Su family wants to marry you off to me, a mere guard. What are they planning? Second Miss knows better than I do."

"But what kind of person is the Second Miss? How could she be willing to be tied down by a marriage? After the marriage, the Second Miss will still return to Qingjing Temple to cultivate, and she won't return for several years. As for me, Chen Hao, I will be left alone in the Su family with the title of 'Su family son-in-law'."

"That wouldn't have been a problem in itself. But the issue is..."

He paused for a moment and met Su Hanyan's gaze.

"Second Miss has been in Qingjing Temple for many years. With your looks and talent, how could there not be outstanding men around you? If one day, some people find out that Second Miss has a husband in name only and are unhappy about it, they can easily lay a finger on me. With my meager cultivation, I'm afraid I won't even know how I died."

Su Hanyan raised an eyebrow slightly.

"You certainly think long-term."

Those who don't think about the long term won't live long.

"The reason I've survived from a rogue cultivator to where I am today is because I always think things through."

"Go on."

"Since I'm taking this risk for the Second Miss, I naturally need some guarantees. Otherwise, what's the point of being a husband in name only, someone who could be crushed to death by an unknown powerful figure at any moment?"

Su Hanyan was silent for a moment, then suddenly smiled.

"In the end, you just want something in return."

"Yes."

Chen Hao readily admitted it.

"We cultivators don't speak of falsehoods, only of what is real. I took the blame for the Second Miss and bore the brunt of her grievances. How does the Second Miss think this debt should be settled?"

What do you want?

Chen Hao took a deep breath, knowing that the most crucial moment had arrived.

"One thousand spirit stones, a magic weapon alchemy furnace, and a pill for breaking through from the mid-stage of Qi Refining to the late stage."

As soon as he finished speaking, the air in the room seemed to drop several degrees instantly.

"You dare to speak up."

Those who dare not speak up will never gain anything.
