Douluo's Soul Power increases by two levels every year

Chapter 686 What's it to you!?

"What did you say?!" Cupid's words shocked Han Hao, who stared blankly at the golden sun in front of him and asked in a shrill voice.

Cupid seemed to have anticipated Han Hao's reaction, showing no surprise. He simply continued calmly, "I can tell you everything about Ning Bingning—her life or death, her whereabouts, and even her past—as long as you answer my questions!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Han Hao's scalp tingled!

Han Hao can remain unmoved by anything, but he can't be moved by Ning Bingning!

"Is this really true!?" Han Hao stared intently at Jin Yang, his blood-red pupils flashing with a dangerous light, and questioned him, word by word.

Cupid remained silent for a while, and after a few breaths, the voice within the Valley of Love and Destiny showed a barely perceptible fluctuation for the first time. A voice, tinged with helplessness and grievance, said, "You should know that I would never lie to you! Whether due to limitations of authority or your status, I have no reason to deceive you!"

Upon hearing this, Han Hao took a deep breath, seemingly considering his options. However, given that Ning Bingning was involved, Han Hao couldn't refuse. He narrowed his eyes and said, "Okay!"

Upon hearing this, Cupid breathed a sigh of relief and asked again, "Child of Defense, do you have a lover?"

"Yes!" Han Hao answered without hesitation, then eagerly asked Cupid, "I've already answered your question. Now, tell me, where is Bing Ning!?"

Cupid was speechless, clearly not expecting Han Hao to be so impatient. After cautiously glancing at Tang San beside him, he finally replied, "God Ruins! Douluo God Ruins!"

Upon hearing Cupid's reply, Han Hao frowned deeply and growled unhappily, "You're playing me!?"

"No!" Cupid quickly denied, then explained, "Ning Bingning is in the Divine Ruins!"

Han Hao was quick-witted. After a brief moment of confusion, his heart skipped a beat, and a look of wild joy flashed in his eyes. He hurriedly asked, "So... you mean, Bing Ning is still alive!?"

Cupid didn't answer Han Hao's question, but said calmly, "This is a different kind of exchange! One question for another. If you want to know more, please continue to answer my questions!"

"Okay!" Han Hao nodded and said, "Go ahead and ask!"

"Who is your lover!?"

"Ning Bingning!" Han Hao blurted out Ning Bingning's name without the slightest hesitation.

But Cupid remained silent for a moment, then said helplessly, "My child, you should know that our deal cannot be finalized unless you provide a true answer!"

Han Hao remained unmoved, his gaze indifferent. Instead, he asked Jin Yang, "That depends on your definition of a lover. If mutual affection is all it takes to be a lover, then why are there so many things in this world that we can't bear to part with or let go of?! I do like Senior Xiao Tao, but so what?! Bing Ning's life is hanging in the balance. Do you think I'd be in the mood for romance?!"

Cupid has been silent quite a few times today...

Tang San, standing to the side, couldn't help but chuckle—it can only be said that he is indeed Han Feng's son, having perfectly inherited Han Feng's verbal skills. With a series of questions, even though he knew that Han Hao was using a fallacy to change the subject, Tang San was speechless!

"Alright! Perhaps you're right!" Cupid sighed, answering Han Hao's earlier question: "Ning Bingning is indeed still alive!"

"One last question: you've never confirmed Ning Bingning's feelings for you, have you?" Then, at Tang San's prompting, Cupid continued, "If Ning Bingning had never loved you, would you have chosen Ma Xiaotao?"

Cupid's question made Han Hao's face darken, and a faint anger rose within him!

Just as Cupid said, Han Hao and Ning Bingning were always just one step away from getting closer. Perhaps there was only a one in ten thousand chance that Ning Bingning's feelings for him were simply out of concern rather than love. But even so, Han Hao was still very dissatisfied!

Taking a deep breath, Han Hao's gaze turned cold, and he slowly said, "What's it to you?!"

These four words startled both Tang San and the God of Love in the God Realm!

"I'll say it again, you're just expressing your emotions. What right do you have to interfere in our affairs?! No matter what, I will do my best to make them happy. You're ignoring their own will and unilaterally forcing me to make a choice. Don't you think that's despicable?!" Han Hao narrowed his eyes and questioned in a cold voice.

"You want both of them!?" Han Hao's words were subtle, but Cupid still understood his meaning, letting out a shriek and saying, "That's so unfair to them!"

"That's none of your business!" Han Hao snorted coldly, saying indifferently, "Your approach is nothing but a self-imposed prison for the world! Does your so-called love necessarily have to be perfect?! My father also has two wives! If you have something to say, convince my father first, then you can talk to me about it!"

Han Hao's words left Cupid speechless—persuading Han Feng!?

Before Cupid even meets Han Feng, Qian Renxue and Ning Rongrong will probably shatter his divine position and throw him into the depths of the universe!

Seeing that Cupid remained silent, Han Hao pressed, "Now it's my turn! How am I supposed to find Bing Ning!?"

After being bombarded with questions by Han Hao, Cupid seemed somewhat disheartened and stopped arguing with him. She said listlessly, "You're too weak right now. She doesn't want to see you. Go find her when you can traverse the void!"

After saying that, Cupid sent Han Hao out of the Valley of Love and Destiny.

The next part was meaningless to Han Hao. Cupid did not think that his illusion could affect Han Hao, and Cupid could not bear the consequences of using an illusion on the defense lineage. The defense lineage were all madmen. If something happened in the illusion that touched their sore spot, he, the master of the illusion, would be finished!

After seeing Han Hao off, Cupid sighed, thinking to himself, "Should I find a successor? I can't stay in the God Realm any longer!"

Fortunately, after Han Hao left, the air in Qiankun Wenqing Valley became much fresher. Although the trial arranged by the Sea God was completely ruined by Han Hao, there were still other people in Qiankun Wenqing Valley. After all, Qiankun Wenqing Valley was the place where the God of Love inherited his legacy in Douluo Continent, so the God of Love still cared about it.

After Han Hao, Cupid led the Snow Empress to the platform, regaining his previous calm voice, and asked her, "Snow Maiden, do you have a lover?"

The Snow Empress glanced at the golden sun, nodded generously, and said, "Yes! He is Han Hao!"

Xue Di's frank answer pleased Cupid, but Tang San, standing beside Cupid, broke out in a cold sweat—that was Xue Di!

Han Hao is even more capable than his father!

Unaware of Tang San's unusual behavior, Cupid continued, "Did you fall in love with him because of your love tribulation?"

"Heh!" Xue Di's gaze suddenly turned mocking, the corners of her mouth slightly upturned, her beautiful face light and carefree as she said, "None of your business!?"

The God of Love is only a third-level god, while the Snow Empress's own foundation is already comparable to that of a second-level god. Although the Snow Empress cannot defy the power of the God of Love because she has not broken through a million years of cultivation, the God of Love's barrier cannot seal the Snow Empress's six senses. Han Hao's previous answer has all fallen into the Snow Empress's ears.

To be honest, she was definitely disappointed. Han Hao never had a place for her in his heart. But undeniably, Han Hao's series of questions made Xue Di realize that the so-called Qiankun Wenqing Valley was nothing more than that!

The Snow Empress is at least a second-level god, so there's no need for her to cater to the Goddess of Love. If she doesn't want to answer something, she won't. At worst, they can just part ways!

Even the Snow Emperor's reverence for the gods was greatly diminished!

The gods that Xue Di had encountered before were all too powerful, which is why they left such a deep impression on her. However, Han Hao's appearance has been constantly diminishing Xue Di's awe of the gods!

Snow Empress's answer made Cupid's face darken. She wanted to punish Snow Empress, but she was also a little scared. Although the one in front of her was a soul beast, her strength was real. Cupid was not very confident in facing Snow Empress. The gap in talent and ability between the two was too big!

Cupid's expression shifted unpredictably, and only after angrily banishing Snow Empress from the Valley of Love and Destiny did her complexion return to some extent.

Out of sight, out of mind; if we can't afford to mess with them, we'll just avoid them!

Along with Xue Di, Yan Ling Ji was also thrown out.

Yan Lingji didn't provoke the God of Love; it was simply that the God of Love was worried that Yan Lingji would say something shocking!

After all, the lover in Yan Lingji's heart involves someone that even the God of Love dares not mention!

After seeing Han Hao, Yan Lingji, and Xue Di off, Cupid brought Ma Xiaotao to the platform—if this woman were to say "None of your business" again, Cupid would resign on the spot!

Bullshit priesthood! Let whoever wants to be one do it; I'm not going to suffer this humiliation!

This time, Cupid was clearly much more impatient and said directly to Ma Xiaotao, "You should have heard Han Hao's answer, right? If Han Hao finds Ning Bingning, will you hate him or Ning Bingning?"

"No!" Ma Xiaotao shook her head. "I love Xiaohao, that's my business. He loves me too, and I'm already content!"

At this point, Ma Xiaotao suddenly smiled and said, "Bing Ning would definitely not allow Xiao Hao to have both! Bing Ning is a very strict girl. If Xiao Hao even glances at another girl, she'll sulk. For Xiao Hao, Bing Ning is definitely more important..."

Gradually, Ma Xiaotao's smile turned bitter. After hesitating for a while, she finally pleaded with Cupid, "Lord Cupid! I don't want to put Xiaohao in a difficult position..."

Regardless of what Ma Xiaotao said, in short, her respectful attitude pleased Cupid, and even softened the way he looked at her!

"If you're willing, I can erase your love for Han Hao!" The Goddess of Love in the Divine Realm looked at Ma Xiaotao with pity—she was a good girl, but unfortunately, she ran into a reckless scoundrel from the Defense lineage!

After some thought, Cupid decided to give Ma Xiaotao a chance and asked her, "After erasing your love, you will never love anyone again, including Han Hao, but are you willing to accept that?"
