Qin Wan jumped in alarm when she saw Fairy Hundred Flowers heading toward the rest room. If she saw what was happening, wouldn’t everyone be mortified?
She quickly stepped in front of Fairy Hundred Flowers.
“Please, Fairy, wait,” Qin Wan said. “Ye Qiu is punishing Bai Bing inside. It’s not appropriate for you to go in now.”
“Why not?” Fairy Hundred Flowers replied. “I’m willing to accept punishment.”
Qin Wan hesitated. “It’s really not suitable.”
The sounds from inside grew louder.
“Wan Sister, what exactly is Young Master doing to that woman?” Lüluo asked, calling her affectionately.
Fairy Hundred Flowers looked puzzled too.
Qin Wan realised both women were innocent, unaware of such matters, or they wouldn’t ask such questions.
How to explain?
After a moment, Qin Wan said, “Bai Bing is receiving a whipping inside.”
“What, a whipping?” Lüluo’s face showed shock. “How can Young Master whip a woman? That’s too cruel.”
Fairy Hundred Flowers said, “In the cultivation world, only those who commit grave wrongs face whipping. I only argued with her. She doesn’t deserve such a harsh penalty. I must stop him.”
Seeing the situation escalate, Qin Wan tried to intervene, but Fairy Hundred Flowers was ready. With a twist of her waist, she glided past like a delicate willow branch, reaching the door in one step.
“No—” Qin Wan’s words were cut off as Fairy Hundred Flowers pushed open the rest room door.
The next second.
“Ah!”
Fairy Hundred Flowers screamed like a startled rabbit, retreating quickly.
“Palace Master, what’s wrong?” Lüluo asked, peeking inside.
“Ah!”
Lüluo let out a scream too, retreating with a flushed face. “Young Master, he…”
“Scoundrel!” Fairy Hundred Flowers cursed, her face burning at the memory of what she saw.
Lüluo shyly said, “Wan Sister, you said it was a whipping…”
“Lüluo!” Fairy Hundred Flowers glared, thinking, how could she still not understand?
Qin Wan glanced inside, seeing Ye Qiu intensely punishing Bai Bing, and quickly shut the door, blushing.
She looked back at Fairy Hundred Flowers and Lüluo, both with heads bowed, faces red, utterly embarrassed.
“I told you not to go in, but you didn’t listen. Now you’re embarrassed,” Qin Wan said, amused. “Bai Bing is Ye Qiu’s close confidante. They often do this. Don’t mind it.”
Often do this…
Young Master is too impressive, Lüluo thought.
“What’s your relationship with him?” Fairy Hundred Flowers asked Qin Wan.
Qin Wan smiled openly. “I’m also Ye Qiu’s confidante.”
Fairy Hundred Flowers said, “He’s quite fortunate, having two beautiful confidantes.”
Qin Wan praised, “You’re both stunning, like two flowers. No wonder Bai Bing misunderstood.”
Women love compliments. Fairy Hundred Flowers and Lüluo smiled at Qin Wan’s words.
The sounds from the rest room grew louder.
Their faces reddened further. Staying here was not only awkward but torturous.
“Ladies, how about I show you around my beauty salon?” Qin Wan suggested.
Before Fairy Hundred Flowers could speak, Lüluo said, “Young Master told us to stay here and not go anywhere.”
This girl, Qin Wan thought, exasperated.
Time passed quietly.
Twenty minutes later, the noises stopped.
“Ye Qiu, you’ve ruined me,” Bai Bing complained. “They saw everything. I can’t show my face.”
Ye Qiu hadn’t expected this but brushed it off. “Don’t worry. Wan Sister’s seen this before. No big deal.”
“If it was just Wan Sister, I wouldn’t care, but those two saw,” Bai Bing said. “Fairy Hundred Flowers already thinks I’m a loose woman. Now, seeing us like this, she must think I’m shameless.”
“No, I need to clear her prejudice.”
“Here’s an idea, Ye Qiu. Take them both as confidantes, make us sisters. Then she won’t think I’m indecent, and meeting them won’t be awkward.”
Ye Qiu was stunned.
He never imagined Bai Bing, the jealous type, would suggest this.
“Ice Sister, you just told me to kill Fairy Hundred Flowers. Now you’ve changed your mind? That’s a quick shift.”
Bai Bing glared. “I’m not mad at her, I’m mad at you.”
“You came back and didn’t find me, but went to Su Luoying. Hmph, infuriating.”
“Oh, and Su Xiaoxiao, did you get to her too? She was walking oddly at work.”
Ye Qiu hurried, “Ice Sister, let me explain…”
“I won’t listen,” Bai Bing said. “I told you, I don’t care about other women, but you must keep me in your heart, or we’re done…”
*Beep beep beep!*
Ye Qiu’s phone rang.
Seeing “War God” on the caller ID, he answered.
“War God, you called?”
“I heard from the Kunlun Mountain guards you were there?” War God asked.
“Yes,” Ye Qiu said. “My father entered the cultivation world seeking a dragon vein for me.”
“So, Kunlun’s unguarded now?”
“Yes.”
“Kunlun needs a guardian. Ye Qiu, do you have time…”
“No time,” Ye Qiu cut in, guessing War God’s intent. “I recommend someone to guard Kunlun.”
“Who?” War God asked.
“Longbrow Immortal,” Ye Qiu said. “He’s reached King Realm.”
“Oh?” War God sounded surprised. “Longbrow’s a good choice, but he might not agree.”
“You know his character. Offer him something, like that top-grade white jade coffin he’s been eyeing,” Ye Qiu said.
War God laughed, “Got it. I’ll call Longbrow. One more thing, Ye Qiu…”
“I’m busy, gotta go,” Ye Qiu hung up, wary of more trouble. His current mess was enough.
Just after hanging up.
*Ding!*
A message arrived.
Ye Qiu opened it: two words, “Save me—”
