Peerless Immortal Emperor in City

"You can handle it yourself," Qin Heng said indifferently.

He had rejected them so firmly before, and now they thought they could lure him back with a mere ten billion? It was utterly laughable, a wild fantasy.

Then, he swept away with a flick of his sleeves. He left behind a stunned Lu Guangyuan, Mother Lu, and Lu Jianjia.

The surrounding people were also dumbfounded. They watched with wide eyes as Qin Heng drove away in his Ferrari. Not a single person dared to stop him. After all, those who had just dared to defy his will were all pretty much finished!

VROOOM! The red Ferrari sped away, its engine thundering!

It was a long while before people recovered from their shock. They watched in utter astonishment in the direction Qin Heng had gone.

"Holy shit! He didn't take the ten billion! He just left!!"

"Oh my God! That's incredible! I'm convinced, I'm truly convinced! To him, wealth is just like dirt!"

"A sage! Perhaps that's what a sage is. Otherwise, how could he possibly be so unconcerned about ten billion!"

The people around began to marvel. In their eyes, Qin Heng had become an existence akin to a god!

Ten billion! That was ten billion they were talking about! An ordinary person with an annual income of two hundred thousand would need fifty thousand years to accumulate that much money! Yet, he had just disregarded it so casually!

Inconceivable! It was truly unbelievable!

Many felt their worldview had suffered an immense blow! Life seemed incredibly bleak. They themselves were still bustling about for mere tens of thousands! Yet he had just nonchalantly dismissed ten billion without even a glance! The disparity was too great!

Lu Guangyuan was also bewildered. His smile froze as he stammered in astonishment, "What... what's going on? Why did he leave? Why did he refuse? I... I even offered him all of our family's assets!"

"How could this be? It's impossible! How could he possibly refuse ten billion?" Mother Lu's face was also filled with disbelief; she almost doubted if she was hallucinating. Ten billion! Could it be that it didn't tempt him in the slightest?

"Sigh..." Lu Jianjia suddenly sighed. "For others, ten billion might be an astronomical figure, but for Mr. Qin, ten billion is probably truly insignificant. He is the heir to the Daqin Group, capable of managing trillions in assets in the future. He is also the de facto controller of Tianhai's Four Great Families. These holdings alone amount to tens of trillions... What's ten billion to him?"

Yet Lu Guangyuan remained confused and incredulous. "But... but didn't he originally offer to check my health? There was no talk of compensation then. Now that I'm offering him ten billion, why would he still..."

"Because you refused before!" Lu Jianjia cut Lu Guangyuan off, shaking her head in despair. "What kind of person do you think Mr. Qin is? He's like a high and mighty god! For him to offer to examine Dad was an incredible stroke of luck. You refused. Trying to invite him again now is nearly impossible!"

"Then... what do we do?" Lu Guangyuan's face was ashen. He murmured, "No, we must go to him. We have to beg him to give me a thorough examination. I... I don't want to die yet!"

"No, there's no need to beg him anymore." Mother Lu shook her head, gritting her teeth. She said to Lu Guangyuan, "Since this Mr. Qin is unwilling to help us, I can't just watch you be in danger. I'll swallow my pride and go home to beg my father to take you to Qihuang Temple!"

"Qihuang Temple?!" Lu Jianjia exclaimed, her expression astounded. "Mom, are you talking about Qihuang Temple, ranked tenth in the hidden Martial Dao circles of the south? The Qihuang Temple known as the progenitor of the medical Dao worldwide?"

"That's right." Mother Lu nodded. "I was born into the Gao family of Yuzhang City. My ancestors were herb gatherers for Qihuang Temple for generations. Every year, we have three quotas to bring people to Qihuang Temple for medical treatment."

"But... but when you married me, you'd already broken ties with the Gao family!" Lu Guangyuan sighed. "Going back now, wouldn't that put you in a difficult position? No, we can't do that. Let's go and beg that Qin Heng instead."

"I don't want you to die! Just listen to me. We're going to Yuzhang to beg my father." Mother Lu clenched her teeth, her mind made up. "I refuse to believe he can completely abandon his own daughter! Jianjia, quickly book plane tickets for tonight, first-class. Just the two of us will go."

"...Okay." Lu Jianjia saw their minds were made up and could only comply.

However, in her heart, she still hoped Qin Heng would intervene. She believed that if Qin Heng took action, no matter her father's ailment, it would surely be cured instantly. Even though they were now headed for Qihuang Temple, Lu Jianjia still planned to ask Qin Heng for help. In her heart, nothing could compare to Qin Heng's abilities; even the so-called Qihuang Temple was definitely no match!

「 」

Qin Heng drove his Ferrari straight home.

He wasn't the least bit worried about Lu Guangyuan's condition. After all, to him, that wisp of Nine Nether Evil Qi would only become more valuable once it had absorbed Lu Guangyuan's life force and grown denser.

Since Lu Guangyuan had refused his help, he might as well let him be. It was only a matter of three days, after all. Within these three days, regardless of whom Lu Guangyuan sought, finding a cure would be impossible.

Detecting the Nine Nether Evil Qi would require at least a Divine Monarch at the Divinity Transformation Realm. Especially since that wisp of Nine Nether Evil Qi was so exceedingly faint, it would likely take an ancient sage at the Returning to Empty Realm to even discern it. Such powerful cultivators simply didn't exist on Earth at present.

Qin Heng could sense it because the essence of his Divine Sense was at the level of an Immortal Emperor in the Eternal Realm. Detecting the Nine Nether Evil Qi was child's play for him.

In three days, Lu Guangyuan would undoubtedly be dead. Unless, within those three days, Lu Guangyuan could produce a treasure valuable enough to move Qin Heng. However, that possibility was minuscule.

Thus, Qin Heng promptly pushed the matter to the back of his mind. Before long, he arrived back at his house.

Currently, quite a few young women were living in his house. Besides his sister Qin Yun, there was also the legitimate tenant, Song Ningran. Then there was Yun Lingsu, a True Disciple of the Divine Sword Sect, who had volunteered to become a maidservant to save her life. Additionally, Wu Yuqing and Xia Shuang had recently arrived in Tianhai.

All of them were top-tier beauties—stunningly attractive, young, beautiful, and with slender figures—all residing in Qin Heng's house.

It was summer, and the weather was scorching. Even with the central air-conditioning running in Qin Heng's villa, these young women tended to dress rather lightly. Especially at night, when it was almost time for bed. They mostly wore thin nightgowns.

Qin Heng arrived home. As soon as he opened the door, he was greeted by waves of a delicate fragrance unique to virgins. With his experience, he could tell that at least three young women were in the living room.

He walked forward. A casual glance revealed an expanse of pale skin—an overwhelming feast for the eyes!
