Medusa slammed the table and gritted her teeth. "This is too much! He hooks up with someone new every few months. If we let him roam free any longer, the Eternal Heaven Palace won't have enough rooms to hold them all! He disappears for months at a time. It's truly detestable. He needs to be properly educated."
At first, everyone nodded in agreement with her opening words.
But the more they listened, the stranger it sounded. They all looked at Medusa with odd expressions, especially since her face was filled with righteous indignation, as if she couldn't wait to rush out, drag Xiao Jietian back, and give him a thorough "education."
Does your idea of "education" sound legitimate? It feels a little off…
"Why are you all staring at me? Just tell me if I'm right or not. The next time he comes back, we must teach him a lesson. Let's see if he dares to run around hooking up with women everywhere."
"Exactly! It's outrageous! We have to make him beg for mercy!"
"He should be locked in the bedroom and not allowed to go anywhere!"
Everyone chimed in one after another, their emotions running high. The two reserves in particular had faces full of excitement.
Just as Medusa was about to announce her "strict punishment plan"…
A soft, gentle voice suddenly interrupted:
"Um… Young Master must be doing this for the development of Boundless Heaven Hall. Young Master isn't the type to covet beauty."
The moment the words left her mouth, Ya Fei and the others—who had been speaking passionately—froze as if petrified. Their mouths hung slightly open, expressions instantly stiff.
They turned their heads mechanically toward Qing Lin, the one who had spoken.
Oh no… they had forgotten about the spy in their midst.
Under so many pairs of eyes, Qing Lin shrank back. "I-I… I just think that Young Master… he might really have that reason… Young Master is the best person."
Her voice grew softer and softer, her eyes darting around nervously. She clearly realized how much of a "face-slap" her "betrayal" had been.
Ya Fei looked at the little quail-like girl who was still earnestly defending her Young Master and couldn't help laughing. She reached out and pinched Qing Lin's cheek. "You really are your Young Master's number one loyal supporter. I have no idea how much bewitching potion he's fed you."
Qing Lin glanced shyly at Ya Fei and the others. The tips of her ears turned a faint pink as she mumbled, "Young Master didn't give me any bewitching potion. Young Master is just the best. And when it comes to 'giving,' everyone here has received plenty from Young Master—especially Sister Fei Yan."
The women immediately widened their eyes and stared at Qing Lin.
It's over… even the pure little white rabbit Qing Lin has been completely corrupted by Xiao Jietian.
"Then you might as well say that your Young Master is pursuing both the development of Boundless Heaven Hall and his harem without delaying either, right?" Medusa said, exasperated into laughter.
"Oh, yes! That's right, that makes perfect sense! It must be just as Sister Fei Yan said!" Qing Lin suddenly lifted her head, her eyes sparkling brightly.
Medusa helplessly patted her own forehead, knowing her sister was beyond saving. She blamed her own big mouth for actively helping her find an excuse. "Forget it, forget it. You are undoubtedly the super invincible loyal, love-struck fool that Xiao Jietian always talks about."
Little Fairy Doctor and the others couldn't hold back their laughter. Often, only the simple-minded Qing Lin could make Medusa lose her composure like this.
"But aren't you the same? Your love for Young Master isn't any less than mine," Qing Lin said softly and weakly.
Medusa's eyes lit up. She looked at Qing Lin as if she had found her best sister. "What you said is very true. I really like it."
…Mutual praise time…
"Let's just look at the gift our new sister gave us."
Hearing the two inexplicably start praising each other, Little Fairy Doctor quickly interrupted. Otherwise, if they kept going, they would soon become sworn sisters.
Ya Fei, who was closest, picked up the storage ring. The moment her soul power entered it, she was stunned. As the person in charge of Boundless Heaven Hall's auction house, she had seen countless treasures.
Yet she was still shocked by the contents. This was practically inhuman wealth.
Ya Fei swallowed hard, her voice full of disbelief. "Is this… real?"
Little Fairy Doctor saw her expression and immediately felt balanced. When she had first seen the items, she hadn't recovered for a long time either. She smiled and replied, "It's real. No fakes."
"You're already a mother, yet you're still so jumpy. Can't you be a little calmer like me? Come, let me see." Medusa, who hated guessing games, directly probed the storage ring in Ya Fei's hand.
"Damn it!!"
Medusa was also startled by what she saw inside. She had destroyed—no, "converted"—countless forces and collected vast resources, but compared to the items in this ring, it was like a drop in the ocean.
"Is the Pill Tower's President really this generous?" Medusa exclaimed in disbelief.
"Probably," Little Fairy Doctor spread her hands and smiled. "With her status as an eighth-grade top alchemist and having held that position for so many years, she must be an incredibly wealthy woman. Xiao Jietian really hit the jackpot this time."
"Indeed. She has money, looks, and an excellent figure." Suddenly, Medusa narrowed her eyes slightly and turned to Little Fairy Doctor. "Why do I feel like you're implying something about me? I was a queen for many years too, but I'm not rich at all."
"You're overthinking it. We are good sisters whose bond is stronger than gold," Little Fairy Doctor quickly waved her hand, looking utterly righteous.
"When that scoundrel Xiao Jietian brags, he looks exactly like you," Medusa said with displeasure. "And last time, you also said we were good sisters, then played dead and left me to face the storm alone."
Hearing this, everyone burst into laughter again. In the entire Eternal Heaven Palace, the most entertaining thing was the constant bickering between Little Fairy Doctor and Medusa—the two arch-rivals.
"It was different back then. The situation was special, wasn't it? Someone had to take the hit, and since we're sisters, of course I had to shield you," Little Fairy Doctor's tone shifted as her gaze drifted over Medusa's body. "Besides, you're actually quite wealthy. Among us sisters, you're the richest. It's truly enviable."
Everyone followed Little Fairy Doctor's gaze and recalled their past comparisons. Indeed… she was wealthy.
"Exactly! Little Brother Xiao Tian even sleeps right next to you every night, and you're still not satisfied? Do you have some secret recipe?" Han Yue looked down at herself, her face full of resentment.
Meanwhile, Han Xue and Hu Jia's eyes brightened considerably.
"It's a natural endowment. You don't need to envy this Queen." Medusa's lips curved slightly. She idly twirled a strand of dark hair around her fingertip, a hint of a smile flashing in her eyes as her voice carried a trace of casual arrogance.
The others, long used to the tsundere's behavior, simply chose to ignore her.
Together, they extended their soul power into the storage ring to examine its contents. All of them were so shocked by what they saw that their mouths hung open.
