Ye Liangchen hadn't expected to meet Qian Renxue, disguised as Xue Qinghe, at the Moon Pavilion this time. It truly was a case of 'wherever in life one meets, why must one have known each other before?'
"Xiao Chen Didi, you said that Crown Prince might be targeting you. Why is that?"
"That's right! Chen Ge, I think that Crown Prince seems gentle and not like a sinister person!"
Shui Bing'er and Zhu Zhuqing asked Ye Liangchen curiously while sipping their wine.
"I'll tell you a secret: the fellow we saw at the Moon Pavilion earlier is a woman."
Ye Liangchen whispered this news to the two girls, startling them so much that they almost dropped their wine glasses.
"A woman? He... he's actually a woman?"
This shocking revelation completely stunned Shui Bing'er and Zhu Zhuqing; it was truly unexpected.
"Shh! Keep your voices down. Remember not to spread this around." Ye Liangchen immediately covered their mouths to prevent anyone from overhearing.
"Oh! Oh! We understand." The two girls quickly nodded, knowing the gravity of the matter.
"Xiao Chen Didi, how did you know he was a woman?"
"Quickly tell Bing'er Jie, what does she look like? Is she as pretty as Bing'er Jie?"
Shui Bing'er got up and sat directly in Ye Liangchen's lap, wrapping her arms around his neck, her beautiful eyes intently staring at him, revealing a meaningful smile.
"Last month, when I accompanied Yan Jie and the others to Heaven Dou Royal Academy, I encountered that fellow. At the time, I noticed he seemed a bit effeminate, lacked masculine energy, had such small hands, such good skin, and there was a faint fragrance about him. Those aren't traits a man possesses, so I concluded that the other party was a woman in disguise."
"However, I haven't seen her true face; I just know she's a woman in disguise."
Ye Liangchen didn't mention seeing Qian Renxue bathing in the Sunset Forest, nor did he dare say that his Breaking Delusion Divine Light had x-ray vision. Otherwise, Shui Bing'er would definitely drag him into the room again and punish him severely, leaving him breathless and suffocated.
"So that's how it is! Xiao Chen Didi, you observe very carefully!" Shui Bing'er now believed Ye Liangchen's judgment. If this Xiao Jiahuo said the other party was a woman, then she definitely was.
"Chen Ge, I think that woman must have taken a liking to you. When a woman is curious about a man, it's the beginning of liking him, you know."
Xiao Maomi interjected from the side, thinking to herself, 'Didn't I fall for him the same way back then?' But it was truly worth it. Ever since she followed this man, she had everything.
"That's right! Xiao Chen Didi, you're so popular with women. From now on, Bing'er Jie will have to hide you better."
Shui Bing'er didn't want her little boyfriend to get entangled with that woman disguised as Xue Qinghe. She had to be wary of women with unknown backgrounds like that.
"Bing'er Jie, that woman is targeting Lan Chen and Li Qingfeng. What does that have to do with me, Ye Liangchen?"
"Haha...! Xiao Chen Didi is still clever. Then let's not go out these next few days and just stay here to avoid trouble."
Ye Liangchen and the two girls decided not to go out, to prevent being targeted by the woman impersonating the Crown Prince. After three days, they would quietly go to the auction house, earn money, and then leave Heaven Dou City.
...
On the fourth day after Ma Rulong released the news about Ye Liangchen's pills, many Spirit Masters from across the continent arrived in Heaven Dou City, especially some female Spirit Masters, who were very interested in the miraculous Yuhua Pill for beauty and anti-aging.
The Tiandou Royal Family also had a headache over the sudden arrival of various powerhouses in the imperial city, especially with Titled Douluo among them, which gave Emperor Xue Ye an even bigger headache.
"Xue Xing, what on earth is your auction house up to? Why are you heavily promoting the Yuhua Pill?"
"Imperial Brother, I had someone inquire with Manager Ma Rulong of the auction house, but Ma Rulong advised us not to probe. The person who auctions the pills has a super Douluo behind them, and we cannot afford to offend them."
"Super... super Douluo? So that means other major powers won't have a chance either."
"Imperial Brother, the other party is merely earning money. We shouldn't interfere. Let the auction house operate according to normal rules. Besides, we can earn commission from the pills they sell. This is a win-win situation."
"Alright, that's the only way. That Yuhua Pill is truly a good thing; it will drive women across the world crazy. It's a pity our Royal Family can't get a share."
"Imperial Brother, last month, various major powers spent high prices to auction off Soul Power Pills and Yuhua Pills, intending to buy them back for their own research. According to the information I've gathered, not a single one has succeeded. This lucrative opportunity is simply beyond anyone's grasp."
"That's right! I wonder who the person who refines these pills is?"
Emperor Xue Ye had originally wanted Xue Xing to use the auction house's authority to obtain the Yuhua Pill formula, so the Tiandou Royal Family could earn more money. But upon hearing that the other party had a super Douluo behind them, he immediately gave up.
The Tiandou Royal Family had this idea, and other major powers had the same idea. Among them, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan's leaders all sought out Ma Rulong, wanting to contact the owner who auctioned the pills, but they were all deterred by the name of the super Douluo.
Shui Lanxin and Shui Lanyue finally arrived in Heaven Dou City after two days of travel. The two girls went directly to the Heaven Dou Auction House.
"What can I help you with, ladies?"
The receptionists, seeing the arrival of two stunning women wearing veils, showed professional smiles and greeted them.
"A few days ago, did a young man bring two beautiful women here? Did they meet with Manager Ma Rulong?" Shui Lanxin asked the two receptionists.
"I'm sorry, ladies, the auction house's rules do not allow the disclosure of guests' privacy." The receptionists refused to answer Shui Lanxin's question.
"We are Titled Douluo, and also the elders of those three children. Quickly tell us, or we will tear down your auction house."
Shui Lanxin and Shui Lanyue directly released two yellow, two purple, four black, and one red nine spirit rings, stating their purpose as Titled Douluo. This frightened the two girls, and people on the street in the distance were also stunned, especially some Spirit Masters.
"Yes... yes, there was! That young man also had Manager Ma's golden card."
Seeing the female Douluo with a Ten-Thousand Year spirit ring, the two receptionists' hearts pounded in fear, and they even stammered when speaking.
"Take us to see Ma Rulong."
"Alright! Please follow me, two esteemed sirs."
The Shui Lanxin Sisters were eager to see Ye Liangchen and the other two, so they didn't care about anything else and directly revealed their strength. In front of the powerful Titled Douluo, the receptionists didn't dare to refuse, so they immediately led the two girls to Ma Rulong's office.
"Didn't I tell you that the seller has a super Douluo behind them? It's best not to inquire about his identity."
Ma Rulong, seeing the arrival of the two beautiful women, guessed that they must be trying to inquire about the young man's identity. He shook his head helplessly; this was already the tenth group of people.
"Manager Ma, these two ladies are that young man's elders, and..."
The receptionist ran to Ma Rulong's side and quietly told him that the two ladies were also Titled Douluo, which immediately made him turn pale with fright.
"You're Ma Rulong, right! Who gave you the guts to mess around with my child?"
"My child is still young and doesn't know any better, but you, as an adult, also went along with the nonsense. Do you know how much trouble this will bring to my child?"
Shui Lanxin and Shui Lanyue released nine spirit rings to scare Ma Rulong, especially the two large red circles, which blinded him.
"Two esteemed sirs, you've wronged me! That young man made me do this, and he was very clever. He said he had a super Douluo behind him and told us not to worry..."
Ma Rulong had a phrase in his heart that he didn't know whether to say or not. That audacious young man came to him for business, and he didn't expect his parents to come knocking on his door to scare him. So, Ma Rulong directly pushed all the responsibility onto Ye Liangchen.
"So that's how it is!"
Shui Lanxin already knew that Ye Liangchen had asked Ma Rulong to promote it. She had said that earlier just to scare Ma Rulong and make him tell the truth.
"Where are that Xiao Jiahuo and the two Little girls now?"
After hearing Ma Rulong's explanation, the Shui Lanxin Sisters finally let out a sigh of relief.
"Two esteemed sirs, a few days ago, I wanted to arrange for the three of them to stay in the auction house's VIP room, but the young man refused, saying that when the time came, he would come back to me."
Ma Rulong, seeing that these two beautiful women were Titled Douluo with Ten-Thousand Year spirit rings, remembered what the young man had said earlier and realized he hadn't lied.
"Alright then! We apologize for scaring you earlier. Please forgive us."
The Shui Lanxin Sisters bid farewell to Ma Rulong and walked out of the auction house.
"Jie, Xiao Chen Didi is quite clever. He knew that staying at the auction house would definitely attract powerhouses."
"This brat, he really knows how to cause trouble. He made us worry to death. Let's go search in the city! If we can't find him, we'll wait here for that brat to arrive."
After leaving the auction house, the Shui Lanxin Sisters inquired at various hotels, but after searching for a long time, they couldn't find them.
"Jie, Xiao Chen Didi and the others might be staying at the Rose Hotel." At this moment, Shui Lanyue saw the sign for a Rose Hotel ahead and had a guess.
Shui Lanxin was startled: "Are you sure?"
"Jie! When Zhuqing first joined the academy, I once asked her if she had any relationship with Xiao Jiahuo. The Little girl didn't hide it from me at the time and said that she and Xiao Chen Didi had stayed at the Rose Hotel in Nuoding City, but nothing happened."
"Oh! There's such a thing? It seems that Xiao Jiahuo likes staying at the Rose Hotel; he really knows how to enjoy himself!"
The two girls' eyes immediately lit up. In the following time, they specifically inquired about Rose Hotels. When they inquired about a super large Rose Hotel in the east of the city, they found three strange names on the list provided by the lobby manager: Long Chen, Bing Ling, Qing Ling, and it was one male and two females. From the lobby manager's description of the two girls' appearances, the two determined that they were Shui Bing'er and Xiao Maomi, which filled them with immense joy.
"It must be them. This brat, he's quite good at hiding."
"Jie, we worried a bit too much."
The Shui Lanxin Sisters exchanged a smile, then followed the attendant to the luxurious suite where Ye Liangchen and the other two were staying.
At this moment, Ye Liangchen was by the window, looking at the crowd on the street. His divine sense spread out, discovering that many powerhouses had arrived in Heaven Dou City.
"Lan Jie, two powerful Titled Douluo have arrived." Just then, the Blue Silver Emperor's voice sounded in Ye Liangchen's mind.
"Lan Jie, I feel it too. I'll put you away first."
With a thought, Ye Liangchen directly put the Blue Silver Emperor into the Game Pet Space.
"Knock knock knock..."
"Brat, open the door quickly."
Just then, a knocking sound rang out, accompanied by a familiar voice, which startled Shui Bing'er and Xiao Maomi, who were cultivating in the living room.
"It's mother's voice."
"Why is Dean here?"
Shui Bing'er and Xiao Maomi were overjoyed and quickly opened the door, then saw Shui Lanxin and Shui Lanyue standing gracefully at the entrance.
"Mom, Auntie, why are you here?"
"Dean..."
Shui Bing'er and Xiao Maomi quickly pulled the two women into the house and then poured them hot tea.
"Aunt Lan, Aunt Yue, you're here too." Ye Liangchen walked over and greeted the two elders.
"Brat, you caused such a big commotion, how could we not come?"
"Can't you just settle down a bit? You made us worry to death at home."
"Tell us! Why did you ask Ma Rulong to heavily promote the Yuhua Pill? When we came to Heaven Dou City, we found people from many major powers, including Titled Douluo. You, kid, caused too big a stir this time."
Shui Lanxin and Shui Lanyue pulled Ye Liangchen over and ruffled his hair. For this future son-in-law, who was dearer than a son, the sisters were heartbroken but also very happy.
"I'm doing this to earn more money, after all, building Tenglong City and Tianshui Sect requires a lot of money!"
Ye Liangchen did this, of course, to make a lot of money, which is why he asked Ma Rulong to heavily promote it for five days.
"Xiao Chen Didi, don't shoulder everything alone. We still have the entire Tianshui City as our backing. Don't worry about money. The entire Tianshui City is under our Shui family's control, and we can mobilize all resources."
"That's right! Xiao Chen Didi, you're still young now, and it's the time for cultivation and play. Leave the matter of establishing a force to us adults."
Shui Lanxin looked at the Xiao Jiahuo, who was acting like an adult, busy raising money for building a force. She lovingly hugged him tightly, feeling very distressed.
"Aunt Lan, I know! But the Tianshui Academy has thousands of students, and the annual expenses are astronomical. So, we try to use as little of the City Lord's Mansion's money as possible. If we can get money from outside, why not?"
Ye Liangchen thought, 'It's a fool who doesn't make money when he can.' Besides, making money was simply a trivial matter for someone like him, who had cheats.
"Alright! Auntie knows you're capable. We'll follow your arrangements."
Shui Lanxin was very pleased and directly kissed the Xiao Jiahuo on the cheek, then looked at Shui Bing'er beside her.
"Daughter, the little husband your mother raised for you has grown up. How is he? Do you like him? Xiao Chen Didi is an exceptional prodigy, you know."
"Bing'er, tell Auntie, what progress have you made staying with Xiao Chen Didi these past few days?"
Shui Lanxin and Shui Lanyue stared at Shui Bing'er beside them, their faces showing aunt-like smiles, which immediately made Shui Bing'er blush deeply.
"Mom, Auntie, stop talking." Shui Bing'er was a little embarrassed at this moment.
"Pfft...! Dean, these past few days, Bing'er Jie and Chen Ge have been showing affection every day; they've made very fast progress."
At this moment, Xiao Maomi on the side couldn't help but laugh, thinking, 'The two of them almost completed the final step of cultivation. Showing affection every day is making this Xiao Maomi starve. And you're still asking what progress they've made? It's too late.'
"Hehe...! Jie, I didn't expect Bing'er to be so quiet normally, but she acts so fast."
"That's right! If it were Yue'er, I wouldn't be surprised at all. I didn't expect my daughter to give me such a big surprise. This way, I'll soon become a mother-in-law."
"Jie! Are you saying my daughter is boy-crazy?"
"Meimei, don't you have a clue about your own personality? Yue'er also inherited your personality."
"We sisters are of one heart..."
Shui Lanxin and Shui Lanyue, in front of the three juniors, didn't care about anything and even spoke about how they married the same man back then.
"Xiao Chen Didi, your mother and we had an agreement back then. If our two families' children were boys, they would become sworn brothers; if they were girls, they would become sworn sisters. Now this situation is perfect: Bing'er and Yue'er will marry you together."
"How about that! Am I good enough to you? These are two sisters, you know."
The Shui Lanxin Sisters, seeing that Ye Liangchen had also grown up, decided to tell him this matter. Anyway, good fortune shouldn't flow to outsiders.
After the sisters finished speaking, they stared intently at the Xiao Jiahuo. It was the look of mothers-in-law looking at their son-in-law, finding him more and more interesting.
"Aunt Lan, Aunt Yue, Bing'er Jie already told me."
Ye Liangchen thought, 'Your daughters already made a move on me. Future mothers-in-law, your reaction is a bit slow.'
