As for the so-called Heaven-tier cultivation techniques, the women had no interest whatsoever. The cultivation methods that came with their special physiques were far superior, making ordinary Heaven-tier techniques seem insignificant by comparison.
"Yes."
"These ruins are all hidden within separate spaces. Some will gradually disappear with the passage of time, while others may resurface due to accidental events."
"However, every time an ancient ruin appears, it triggers a bloody storm. Even many hidden powerhouses will emerge. After all, the treasures left behind by a Dou Saint-level expert are enough to drive anyone mad."
After listening to Xuan Yi's explanation, Yun Yun glanced at Xiao Jietian, who was still playing with Ya Fei's silk-stockinged leg, and asked, "You're paying special attention to this ruin. Is there something you need inside?"
"Yes. There's a Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit inside that I must obtain."
"Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit? What is that?" Even Xuan Yi, a peak eighth-grade alchemist, was hearing the name of this ingredient for the first time.
Xiao Jietian chuckled and began explaining the effects of the Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit to them.
Just as Xiao Jietian and the others were deep in discussion, Xiao Huiying slowly opened her eyes in the bedchamber. She saw a jade bottle wrapped in Dou Qi floating gently in mid-air.
She shifted her body, frowned slightly from the soreness, and sat up. Reaching out, she rubbed her small dragon horns, which still felt a bit tender.
She took the jade bottle from the Dou Qi and glanced at the words on it. It was a healing pill left by her master.
Xiao Huiying poured out the pill, a happy smile blooming on her face as she put it into her mouth. Her intelligent big eyes curved into crescents.
"Master, you're really too good to Hui Ying."
After that, she got out of bed, changed into a fresh dress, and headed out of the bedchamber.
"So it's useful for that little girl Zi Yan. It sounds very effective," Medusa said seriously as she leaned closer to Xiao Jietian. "You must get it."
Among everyone present, Medusa was the kindest toward Zi Yan, and the two were the closest.
"Yes, I'm determined to obtain it. Whoever tries to snatch it will die," Xiao Jietian replied, reaching out to stroke Medusa's face.
Medusa slapped his hand away and stepped back half a pace. "Your hand just touched Ya Fei's leg. Don't touch me randomly."
"Hehe, Sister Fei Yan, you dislike me now?" Ya Fei stood up, walked in front of Medusa, and put on a wronged expression that suddenly turned into a mischievous grin.
Medusa saw Ya Fei's look and immediately felt a strong sense of foreboding. Yun Yun and the others felt the same. They knew that Ya Fei, like Xiao Jietian, was a troublesome one.
Ya Fei slowly exhaled, her voice soft and alluring like an orchid. "Then weren't we once together, sharing the same—"
Before she could finish, several slender hands firmly held her down. "You vixen, shut up!!"
"Don't speak!!"
"That was a special circumstance." Medusa also held Ya Fei tightly.
For a moment, the women broke into a playful scuffle.
Taking advantage of the chaos, Hu Jia quietly sneaked over to Xiao Jietian's side. "Xiao Jietian, I have something for you tonight—"
"What is it?"
"Don't ask. It's a good thing. You'll know tonight." Hu Jia felt several gazes land on her. She turned her head slightly and met Medusa and the others' eyes.
For a moment, she felt like a seductress caught in the act of pursuing a married man.
"I… I… Don't overthink it. I just have something to give him."
The women looked at Hu Jia's flustered expression and secretly laughed to themselves. *Giving herself away for free—we know.*
"Then I'll wait for tonight." Xiao Jietian gently patted Hu Jia's fair, smooth leg. "Alright, stop fooling around for now. Who among you wants to go to the ruins this time?"
"I'm not going. I still have matters to handle at Boundless Heaven Hall," the Little Fairy Doctor was the first to shake her head. Since Xiao Jietian could enter the Eternal Heaven World at any time, no matter how far he went, she could appear by his side or call him back whenever she missed him.
"Little Brother Xiao Jietian, I really want to go out and explore the world with you, but the auction house is at a critical stage right now. I can't leave yet."
"This King isn't going either, but when you have time, you must come back and keep me company." As Medusa spoke, her hand gently rested on her slightly bulging belly, her eyes filled with happy smiles.
When Xiao Jietian had returned, he learned that Medusa, due to a moment of carelessness, hadn't completely killed the Second Heavenly Venerable. At the time, everyone had egged him on to "teach her a lesson."
In the end, Medusa had used her ultimate move—'holding the Son of Heaven to command the feudal lords.'
"Alright!" Medusa was now gradually showing her pregnancy, which meant the bloodline inside had fully formed. The rest would proceed like a normal human pregnancy—ten months in total. Xiao Jietian reached out and gently touched her belly, feeling the little life growing within.
Half a minute later, Xiao Jietian looked at Qing Lin. "What about you, Qing Lin? The ruin appeared in the territory of the Nine Serene Earth Nether Python clan. Do you want to go?"
"I'm not going. With my current strength, controlling Dou Zun-level beings isn't very effective yet. Besides, with Hui Ying's help, I've already completely suppressed the Nine-Headed Ancient Heavenly Serpent. I need to stay behind and refine them properly. Once I reach the Half-Saint stage, I'll be able to control the two Dou Saints in their clan. At that point, wouldn't the entire Nine Serene Earth Nether Python clan belong to our Boundless Heaven Hall?"
"Also, I still need to take care of Sister Fei Yan."
Hearing Qing Lin's words, a touch of emotion flashed in Medusa's eyes. She couldn't help but pat Qing Lin's hair gently. "Thank you, Qing Lin."
"Hehe, Qing Lin is Young Master's little maid. This is all part of my duty."
"Mmm, that works too. I'll take you to subdue them later." Xiao Jietian looked at the others. "What about you?"
Yun Yun and the rest also declined. Each of them had their own responsibilities, and Boundless Heaven Hall was currently in a stage of rapid development.
Although both Han Xue and Hu Jia wanted to go, their current strength was still too weak. Going along might even require Xiao Jietian to protect them, so they chose to stay behind and help manage the hall.
"Ancient ruins? What are they? Are we going on a trip?"
Xiao Huiying appeared in the pavilion and asked curiously.
Xiao Jietian made a grabbing motion, and Xiao Huiying flew straight into his arms, landing neatly on his lap. She naturally nestled against his chest.
No one else was sitting in Xiao Jietian's arms today. That spot had been specially left for Xiao Huiying.
After all, having just experienced intimacy, she was especially dependent right now.
The others all watched the pair with doting, aunt-like smiles, while Hu Jia looked on with obvious envy.
"Why didn't you sleep a little longer? How's your body feeling?"
"After taking the pill, I'm completely fine now." Xiao Huiying beamed brightly. "Are you going out to play? I want to go too."
"Alright. Hui Ying, you can go with Xiao Jietian this time. I'll leave him in your care." The Little Fairy Doctor propped her chin on her hand and patiently explained to Xiao Huiying about the ancient ruins and what to watch out for.
After listening, Xiao Huiying understood instantly. Sitting in Xiao Jietian's arms, she patted her full chest confidently. "Okay, leave it to me. I will definitely watch over Master and make sure no other women seduce him."
*Slap!*
