Reincarnation - The Divine Doctor and Stay-at-home Dad

Chapter 933 The Final Stage of the Voiding Realm

Xiahou Hongxiang said, “I dare not. Your Highness, you are the Princess of the kingdom. All the money of the kingdom belongs to the Tortoise royal family. Why would you steal the Spirit Stones from the vault?”

Zhao Xingyue said, “Then why did you bring your men here?”

Xiahou Hongxiang said, “Mr. Qin was not around when the vault was broken into just now. I think he is the suspect, so I want to ask Mr. Qin for confirmation.”

The Little Witch cried, “Nonsense. My Little Brother has been with us all the time. How could he steal your dirty Spirit Stones?”

Zhao Xingyue also said with a gloomy face, “General Xiahou, Mr. Qin is my friend. It’s impossible for him to steal your Spirit Stones.”

For other matters, Xiahou Hongxiang could give in. However, this was related to the millions of Spirit Stones in the vault, so he naturally would not budge.

He said, “Your Highness, when the vault was broken into, Mr. Qin’s whereabouts were unknown. Thus, I think your friend should be frisked so as to clear him of any suspicion.”

After hearing what he said, Zhao Xingyue also thought in her heart. Qin Haodong was indeed not in the yard at that time. Did he really go to the vault of Golden Horse City?

However, the more it was like this, the more determined she was to protect Qin Haodong. Not to mention the vault of Golden Horse City, even if the entire contents of the vault of the Tortoise Kingdom were stolen, she would still stand on Qin Haodong’s side.

“General Xiahou, it is due to your dereliction of duty that the Spirit Stones went missing in the vault. You should catch the thief as soon as possible, instead of coming here to slander my friend.

“As long as I am here today, no one is allowed to lay a finger on my Big Brother Qin.”

After that, she stood up directly and stood in front of Qin Haodong.

“That’s right. No one is allowed to slander Brother Qin…”

“Senior Brother must have been wronged…”

The other girls also gathered around and protected Qin Haodong, who stood in the middle. They looked at Xiahou Hongxiang aggressively, as if they were going to take action at any moment.

Like Zhao Xingyue, they also thought that it was very likely that Qin Haodong had stolen the Spirit Stones in the vault. However, the more it was like this, the more they had to protect him.

Seeing the reactions of these girls, Xiahou Hongxiang became more certain about his speculation. A fierce light flashed in his eyes.

“Your Highness, if you insist on protecting him, don’t blame me for offending you.”

Zhao Xingyue snapped, “How dare you! You want to attack me?”

“Your Highness, I wouldn’t dare disrespect you. However, this is related to the kingdom’s property. I must fulfill my duties. Otherwise, I will be unable to explain to the King.”

Xiahou Hongxiang spoke righteously and put on a show of being loyal to the kingdom. He then waved at Jiang Bin behind him. “Frisk him.”

…

“Yes!” Jiang Bin replied and immediately ordered his subordinates to surround Zhao Xingyue and the rest.

Tu Jiaojiao, Murong Jinghong, and the others unsheathed their swords. A huge battle was about to break out between the two sides.

“Please calm down, everyone.”

Qin Haodong stepped forward and walked over to Zhao Xingyue’s side. “Your Highness, a straight foot is not afraid of a crooked shoe. Since General Xiahou wants to frisk me, let him do it.”

“This…” Zhao Xingyue hesitated for a moment before saying, “I will never allow anyone to slander my friend in any case.”

As she spoke, she looked at Qin Haodong in confusion. Her eyes were full of questions.

It meant that if Qin Haodong really stole the Spirit Stones from the vault, she couldn’t let the people frisk him anyway.

“Don’t worry, Your Highness. What’s missing from the vault has nothing to do with me.” Qin Haodong said as he looked at Xiahou Hongxiang and Jiang Bin, “You two actually suspect that I stole the Spirit Stones from the vault. You can frisk me if you want but you have to pay something for doing that”

Xiahou Hongxiang said, “What do you want?”

Qin Haodong said lightly, “If I don’t let the two of you frisk me, you will suspect that I’ve stolen the Spirit Stones of the vault. If I let you frisk me like this, I’m a little unwilling. How about making a bet?”

“What do you want to bet on, Mr. Qin?” Xiahou Hongxiang asked.

Qin Haodong said, “If you find the Spirit Stones you are looking for on me, I will immediately plead guilty. My life is yours. You can kill me or torture me as you like.

“If you can’t find them, take out 20,000 top-level Spirit Stones as compensation for ruining my reputation. What do you think, General Xiahou?”

“This…”

Seeing Qin Haodong’s confident look, Xiahou Hongxiang hesitated for a moment. “Did this boy really not steal the Spirit Stones in the vault?”

Jiang Bin went forward and said in a low voice, “General Xiahou, this boy is just bluffing. He’s just trying to fool us. I am 100% certain that he stole the Spirit Stones in the vault.”

Xiahou Hongxiang gritted his teeth. He didn’t want to confront Zhao Xingyue unless he had no other choice. Finally, he said, “Since Mr. Qin wants to make a bet, I’ll bet with you.”

Qin Haodong said, “Well, General Xiahou, please take out 20,000 top-level Spirit Stones first and give them to the Princess who will be the notary of the bet.”

“Sure!”

After saying that, Xiahou Hongxiang took out 20,000 top-level Spirit Stones from his Storage Ring and handed them to Zhao Xingyue.

“Your Highness, this is a fair agreement between me and Mr. Qin. If we really find something later, please don’t make things difficult for me.”

Zhao Xingyue glanced at Qin Haodong. Seeing that he nodded to her, she then said, “Well, I’ll do it fairly.”

Xiahou Hongxiang turned to Qin Haodong and said, “Mr. Qin, it’s your turn.”

There were millions of top-level Spirit Stones in the vault, piled up like a hill. He naturally did not think that Qin Haodong would put them in his pocket. Those Spirit Stones would have to be in his Storage Ring.

Qin Haodong smiled. Then he took off the Storage Ring from his hand and threw it to Xiahou Hongxiang.

When he was in the vault, he had already foreseen that this would happen. Not only did he put the Spirit Stones directly into the Seven Storeys Pagoda but the things in his Storage Ring were also transferred to the pagoda.

There was nothing in his Storage Ring except for hundreds of top-level Spirit Stones at this time.

Xiahou Hongxiang took the Storage Ring. He glanced at Qin Haodong and then scanned it with his Divine Sense.

When he saw the result, his expression suddenly changed. There was nothing inside. Was it true that Qin Haodong did not steal the Spirit Stones from the vault?

Seeing Xiahou Hongxiang’s expression, Jiang Bin already knew the result. His expression suddenly changed as well.

Qin Haodong smiled and said, “General Xiahou, if you still don’t believe me, you can frisk me.”

As he spoke, he shook his sleeves and patted his pockets.

“You must have stolen the Spirit Stones from the vault and hidden them!” Jiang Bin said.

Qin Haodong looked at him and said, “General Jiang, your remark is most inappropriate, don’t you think? You said that I stole them without any evidence. I can also say that you stole them!”

“You…”

Jiang Bin was so angry that his face turned red. Just as he was about to attack, Zhao Xingyue shouted, “Jiang Bin, what are you doing? We agreed on a bet. I, as the notary, feel that you are not taking me very seriously.”

She used to be partial to Qin Haodong, so she was more confident now.

Xiahou Hongxiang stopped Jiang Bin, then stepped forward and said, “I’m sorry, Your Highness. We misunderstood just now. Now I will apologize to Mr. Qin.”

He returned the Storage Ring to Qin Haodong and said, “I’m sorry to disturb you, Mr. Qin. I admit defeat. The 20,000 top-level Spirit Stones are yours.”

After that, he bowed to Zhao Xingyue again and left the courtyard with his men.

After returning to the Lord Mansion, Jiang Bin said, “General Xiahou, are we just going to let it go? In my opinion, the Spirit Stones from the vault must have been stolen by that boy. He hid them somewhere. Maybe the Spirit Stones are in Zhao Xingyue’s ring.”

Xiahou Hongxiang said with a gloomy face, “That boy is certainly a strong suspect. However, have you ever thought that it is also possible that the Ghost King Sect did it?”

“This…”

Jiang Bin froze. The Ghost King Sect was powerful. If they wanted to do it, they did have the ability.

He said, “General Xiahou, what should we do now? Should we let Qin Haodong go?”

Xiahou Hongxiang said, “We certainly won’t let him go so easily. According to my estimation, the people from Tortoise City will be here tomorrow to pick Zhao Xingyue up. We will take action immediately as soon as they leave the vicinity of Golden Horse City.

“Not only will we kill Qin Haodong, but we will also get all their Storage Rings. At that time, both the stolen Spirit Stones and their Spirit Stones will be ours.”

Jiang Bin immediately gave him a thumbs-up and said with a fawning face, “General Xiahou, you are really talented and bold. I admire you very much.”

Xiahou Hongxiang said, “Send someone to close the city immediately. Everyone can only enter but not leave. We can’t let Qin Haodong escape.

“At the same time, strictly investigate the people of the Ghost King Sect. If this matter was really done by them, we must get our Spirit Stones back at all costs.”

Jiang Bin nodded and said, “Understood, General. I’ll go and arrange it now.”

As for the people in the courtyard, after Xiahou Hongxiang left, everyone gathered together to discuss for a while before returning to their rooms to rest.

There were many rooms in the courtyard, so Qin Haodong went back to the room that had been arranged for him.

First, he found a skeleton warrior from the bone legion. That skeleton warrior was not too different from his own body. He put his clothes on the skeleton warrior and laid him down on the bed. Then he entered the Seven Storeys Pagoda alone.

The various materials he brought from earth were placed on the sixth floor. The stolen top-level Spirit Stones were placed on the seventh floor, which made the Spiritual Qi here so dense that it could almost form a pool of Spiritual Water.

Xiahou Hongxiang and the others were now eyeing him covetously and the people of the Ghost King Sect could appear at any time. His top priority was to improve his cultivation as soon as possible.

He sat cross-legged in the middle of the pagoda and began to cultivate in order to upgrade to the final stage of the Voiding Realm.

According to his current cultivation method, his speed of improvement was indeed dozens or even hundreds of times faster than ordinary people. Once he succeeded, his strength would also be unparalleled. He would be invincible in the same realm. However, the consumption of Spirit Stones would be extremely large.

When he opened his eyes again, the Genuine Qi in his body was surging. He had reached the final stage of the Voiding Realm.

But when he looked around, only a few thousand Spirit Stones were left at the moment. Originally, there were millions of top-level Spirit Stones here.

While he felt happy, Qin Haodong could not help worrying. He had just reached the final stage of the Voiding Realm and had already used so many top-level Spirit Stones. What about the Combination Realm? It seemed that he could only rely on the Spiritual Spring of the Tortoise Kingdom.

After his cultivation was complete, he returned to his room again.

The next morning, after breakfast, the Little Witch said, “It’s too boring here. We’ve come to Golden Horse City but we can’t go anywhere. What’s the difference between us and prisoners?”

Zhao Xingyue said, “There’s no other way. Xiahou Hongxiang seems to be afraid that we will run away. This place is heavily guarded. We can’t get out even if we want to.”

The other girls also had woeful looks on their faces. It was obvious that none of them wanted to stay here.

Qin Haodong said, “If you want to go out, I have an idea.”

The Little Witch cried excitedly, “Little Brother, what good idea do you have? Say it quickly.”

Qin Haodong smiled and said, “They don’t allow us to go out but we can sneak out!”
