Women's Thoughts

Under a dazzling starry sky atop the Misty Palace rooftop, Yue Qianchou held a pale blue, almost transparent flame in his hands. The flame, rising like a pillar, painted the roof of the Misty Palace with a dreamlike, shimmering light...

A closer look reveals that the pillars of fire in each hand appear to be divided into ten layers, each layer refining a batch of pills. Ten batches per hand, twenty batches in total...

Refined elixirs kept being flung out from the swirling flames. Qu Ping'er and Bai Suzhen collected the elixirs and immediately threw spiritual herbs into the empty layers of fire. The two women continued to collect elixirs and add spiritual herbs... Yue Qianchou kept his eyes closed, silently concentrating on refining the elixirs. He had been standing motionless for almost a day without taking a break.

At first, he used both hands, refining one batch in each hand. Later, he discovered that as his cultivation level increased, his fire control ability greatly improved, making this method rather childish. So he increased the level gradually, until after the fifteenth level, when he began to feel some strain in controlling his Divine Sense. Finally, he dropped to the tenth level, finding that at this level, the speed was faster, and he could control his Divine Sense much more easily...

Hearing that Yue Qianchou had returned, Xiao Wanqing stood quietly by the lake. Touching her increasingly large belly, her gaze was fixed on the towering Misty Palace. Suddenly, she noticed the dreamlike colors above the Misty Palace —truly beautiful!

Her eyes darted around, and she returned to the valley below. A short while later, she pulled Chen Feng, who had been scratching his head, out. Chen Feng looked somewhat helpless. His boss had instructed him to hurry up and refine some more 'False Restriction Breaking Pill,' and he was busy underground! But his wife said there was something unusual at the Misty Palace and insisted on taking him along to check it out.

Xiao Wanqing was heavily pregnant, and Chen Feng dared not displease her, so he had no choice but to accompany her. The two flew directly to the top of the Misty Palace, where the scene before them left the couple speechless with astonishment...

After watching for a while, Chen Feng's expression twitched, he was speechless... The boss is indeed the boss, he's too amazing! Amazingly amazing! One person is equivalent to twenty alchemy masters, just that ability to control Divine Sense is beyond the reach of others.

He didn't know that the wonder of Yue Qianchou's cultivation of the Returning Origin Sword Art lay in its ability to train Divine Sense. Imagine, the ability to simultaneously control thousands of flying swords—using that to manage the refining of twenty batches of pills would be no problem at all. If it weren't for the fact that pill refining was far more intricate than sword control, and the need to simultaneously control the fire, he could refine not just twenty batches, but two hundred batches as well.

When Bai Suzhen and Qu Ping'er saw the couple, they smiled apologetically at them, as they were too busy to pay them any attention.

Xiao Wanqing Yue Qianchou, slightly lost in thought, at Yue Qianchou standing solemnly amidst the psychedelic glow. This man had always been outstanding... They met at Myriad Fragrance Garden on Fu Xian Island, forging a bond during the Demon Ghost Domain Trial. From then on, she had silently watched over him. Even when he was just a junior disciple on Fu Xian Island, he had already risen to fame, far surpassing his peers. Later, he was expelled from Fu Xian Island, yet his fame only grew, making him even more exceptional—who didn't know him! However, this very man she had secretly admired, not only didn't reciprocate her feelings, but also heartlessly gave her away to someone else...

Having acquired six billion high-grade Spirit Stones in two days, he's probably making a name for himself somewhere now! Xiao Wanqing bit her lip tightly, a hint of hatred flashing in her eyes. The more extraordinary Yue Qianchou appeared in the hazy light, the stronger the hatred in her eyes grew...

"Didn't you say your alchemy skills were almost on par with his? Do you really think you can catch up? I think you're far inferior to him! Forget alchemy, in any other aspect, what can you compare to him? I don't think you'll ever catch up. From now on, you should just stay hidden underground and never come out to see anyone again. Otherwise, you'll come out boasting and bring shame upon me and our future baby." Xiao Wanqing, stroking her belly, transmitted her voice to Chen Feng. Her cultivation had now reached the early Tribulation stage, giving her the ability to transmit her voice.

Chen Feng's envious expression froze. He glanced at Xiao Wanqing's belly and replied awkwardly, "Our boss is naturally more capable than us. Otherwise, how could he be our boss? Let's go back!"

"Useless thing, no ambition whatsoever. When the baby is born, don't tell anyone that you, this grotesque creature hiding underground all day, are his father." Xiao Wanqing rolled her eyes, then turned and flew down the mountain. Chen Feng was stunned, then chased after her with a complicated expression...

Two days later, Yue Qianchou opened his eyes at some point, glanced at the two women, and said with a smile, "Stop!" The two women exchanged a look and watched with smiles as he finished finishing the last few batches of food.

"How much have you refined?" Yue Qianchou asked the two of them.

Qu Ping'er looked at Bai Suzhen. She knew that Bai Suzhen actually had more say in the entire Utopia than she did. Although everyone knew she was the leader's woman, they treated her with respect, but Bai Suzhen was respected to the point of obedience—they were completely different concepts. Especially with the entire Utopia army, she couldn't command them, but Bai Suzhen could simply give a few instructions, and the entire army would immediately obey!

Last time, because the Purple Chaos was moving further and further away, Qu Ping'er wanted to reopen the Spirit Herb Garden in a place closer to the Purple Chaos. However, she didn't have enough manpower, so she went to the Utopia military camp to find Guan Yu and Zhang Peng, asking them to mobilize the army for help. Several regimental Regiment Commander were also present at the time, and it seemed like a simple matter, but the two of them hesitated. Finally Guan Yu said with a wry smile, "If the army is to be requisitioned for other purposes, no one can be mobilized without the leader's order."

With just those words, Qu Ping'er stormed off in anger. Back at the Misty Palace, still fuming, she happened to run into Bai Suzhen, who was rarely seen out. Bai Suzhen, seeing her, found it strange and asked what had happened. After understanding the situation, she immediately took Qu Ping'er back to the military camp.

Bai Suzhen simply said to Guan Yu and the others, "It's all for logistical needs. The Misty Palace is short-handed, so I'd appreciate your help! It won't take the army long."

With just that casual remark, the Chief Instructor, along with his adjutant and several Regiment Commander, stood solemnly and returned the salute, saying, "Yes, sir, execute immediately." The army then quickly assembled... Qu Ping'er immediately understood everything!

She found it hard to believe that Yue Qianchou hadn't authorized it. In fact, she had spent some time investigating... Yue Qianchou had always held a tight grip on military power within the Utopia army. He seemed to be indifferent, but he had never truly let go. Even Guan Yu, the Chief Instructor, and Zhang Peng, the adjutant, only had the authority to manage training and give temporary command. Apart from Bai Suzhen, no one else could be mobilized without authorization.

Therefore, the only person who can completely control the military power of Utopia is Yue Qianchou. However, within Utopia, there is another person who can freely mobilize the army, and that is Bai Suzhen. This undoubtedly shows that in Yue Qianchou's absence, the number one person in Utopia is not Qu Ping'er, but the rarely seen Bai Suzhen.

Bai Suzhen didn't answer, but handed the Storage Bag in her hand to Qu Ping'er. Only then did Qu Ping'er smile and say, "I've refined nearly five hundred batches, ten pills per batch, almost five thousand pills in total. Not a single one was a waste!"

"Hehe! You didn't even look at who made the move, it's only right." Yue Qianchou chuckled as he took the two Storage Bag and tossed them into his bracelet. He glanced at the sky and said, "I have something to do, I'll be going now, you guys go back!"

"Leaving so soon!" Qu Ping'er said with some disappointment.

"What? Missed me?" Yue Qianchou put his arm around her, grinning mischievously. He shamelessly took advantage of her ample bosom.

Bai Suzhen smiled faintly and said softly, "Be careful out there." After saying that, she didn't disturb the two any longer and floated down from the top of the Misty Palace.

"I'll leave later!" Qu Ping'er said, her face flushed. Yue Qianchou smiled wryly, "I have an appointment with someone outside, and I can't break it. Next time! Next time I'll make time to serve you properly."

"Can't we do it today?" Qu Ping'er pleaded.

"I'm really busy, I'll definitely do it next time," Yue Qianchou said, then made a fool of himself and ran away. Qu Ping'er was left standing atop the Misty Palace, feeling utterly lost...

In a house halfway up God of Wealth Peak, Yue Qianchou strolled out. Tian Ye three were already in the courtyard. They were all surprised to see him suddenly appear, wondering when he had gone inside. There was only one entrance, and the courtyard wasn't large. They had been exchanging cultivation experiences in the courtyard and hadn't seen anyone go in. But thinking about it, it made sense; it was too easy for a late Spirit Transformation stage cultivator to deceive them.

"Sir!" The four men bowed in unison, having already changed their forms of address. Yue Qianchou raised his hand, indicating that the four men did not need to be so polite, and his gaze fell on Li Qiuxiang's face. At this moment, Li Qiuxiang had removed the veil from her face, revealing a face pockmarked with deep scratch marks, which looked terrifying and chilling to the bone. She was nothing like the beautiful woman she once was.

Seeing her calm and unperturbed expression, Yue Qianchou couldn't help but show his approval, saying, "That's right, true beauty comes from simplicity. It seems that being disfigured isn't such a bad thing after all; at least it can help you find yourself again and not lose yourself. Don't worry! I will help you restore your appearance when the opportunity arises."

"Sir, can she return to her original state?" Tian Ye asked, his expression a mixture of excitement and agitation.

"What? Where did your True Intention go? Have you gotten tired of it so quickly? It seems all my efforts have been in vain," Yue Qianchou sneered.

"No, no..." Tian Ye waved his hands repeatedly, somewhat incoherently, unsure how to explain. Li Qiuxiang, however, said frankly, "Sir, that's not what he meant. He was just doing it for my own good. Actually, whether I recover or not, I really don't care."

"Come on! Is there any woman who doesn't love beauty?" Yue Qianchou raised an eyebrow, seeing her calm expression and lack of argument. He couldn't help but smile and say, "When the time is right, I'll help you restore your appearance." With that, he tossed out a flying sword and flew towards the mountaintop...
