26: Chapter 26: Madam has a grander vision! Actually, Madam wants more!

Hehuan Sect, Main Hall.

The morning sunlight spilled into the magnificent hall. Wang Yang sat upon his throne, his mood just like the weather—bright, but with a hint of... heartache.

Just moments ago, with Su Qingge's heart completely won over, the System mall finally displayed the LV2 upgrade interface.

Wang Yang opened the newly added product list with great anticipation.

The very first item was the Divine-Grade life-saving tool he had been coveting for a long time:

[divine sense possession pill]

Rank: Mall LV2 Unlocked Item.

Price: 5,000 Points / Pill.

Effect: Officially unlocked. After the consumer swallows the Medicinal Pill, the host's "Invincible Domain" will instantly envelop the consumer.

Duration: 3 Seconds.

Description: Although it only lasts three seconds, during these three seconds, the user is the Heavenly Dao's own father. Even a full-strength strike from an Upper Realm immortal would have to kneel and sing "Conquest" before me.

Note: An essential divine medicine for Sect members when traveling for experience, showing off and face-slapping, or making a desperate counter-attack.

"Good stuff! This is absolutely good stuff!"

Wang Yang slapped his thigh hard.

With this thing, he wouldn't have to worry about his wife or Disciple being targeted when they went out.

Three seconds might be short, but in a duel between experts, it was enough for a hundred counter-kills.

But...

Wang Yang glanced at the point balance in the upper right corner.

[Current Points]: 3,390.

"5,000 points for one pill? Why don't you just rob me?!"

Wang Yang's mouth twitched. He had worked so hard selling junk, selling his body and his skills, and with great difficulty, he had saved up over three thousand, only to find he couldn't even afford one pill.

"Forget it, I'll save up more. It's just a matter of working hard for a few more nights. Anyway, the Liuyun Sect hasn't attacked yet."

Wang Yang sighed, closed the mall interface, and turned his gaze toward the special reward in the System space.

Two exquisitely crafted purple-gold jade boxes lay there quietly, emitting an enticing fragrance.

[god-level beauty preservation pill] x 2

Effect: After consumption, one's appearance is instantly frozen at its most perfect moment, granting eternal youth. It can also fine-tune facial features and physique, enhancing overall beauty.

Looking at these two boxes, Wang Yang's originally decent mood suddenly skipped a beat and sank to the bottom.

He held up two fingers and gestured.

"Two."

Then he counted the three figures currently walking toward the hall on his fingers.

"Three."

Wang Yang broke out in a cold sweat instantly.

Isn't this the famous "Two Peaches Killing Three Warriors" scenario?!

There were three people who completed this mission!

Ye Qingcheng (Main Wife, Strategist), Su Qingge (Newcomer, Person Involved), and Lin Xiaowan (Eldest Disciple, Introducer).

How should these be divided?

No matter who got one and who didn't, it was a life-or-death question!

Just then, the lively sound of women's laughter came from outside the hall.

"Husband~ Good morning~"

Ye Qingcheng walked in, looking radiant as she held Su Qingge's arm.

After last night's "meeting in total honesty," the relationship between the two women had improved by leaps and bounds.

"Revered Master, Revered Master! I'm here too!"

Lin Xiaowan followed behind like a little tail, her eyes shining brightly as she stared at the boxes... by Wang Yang's hand.

"Revered Master! Is that the legendary..." Lin Xiaowan's mouth was practically watering.

The atmosphere in the hall instantly became subtle.

Three women, six eyes, all staring fixedly at the two boxes on the table.

The air seemed to freeze.

Wang Yang rubbed his brow, his face full of distress.

"Husband, what's wrong?"

Ye Qingcheng noticed Wang Yang's unusual behavior, walked to his side, and asked gently, "Is there some difficulty?"

Wang Yang sighed, pointed to the two boxes on the table, then pointed at the three of them, and said with a bitter smile:

"Madam, there are only two of these [god-level beauty preservation pill]s. But in our family... there are three fairies. To me, the palm and the back of the hand are both flesh; I truly don't know how to distribute them."

Ye Qingcheng was slightly stunned upon hearing this.

She looked at the two boxes, then at Su Qingge and Lin Xiaowan, who were looking on expectantly.

Reasonably speaking, she was the Main Wife and had put in a lot of effort, so she had to take one.

Su Qingge was the newcomer, so taking one was also beyond reproach.

That left Lin Xiaowan... who would definitely end up crying.

Ye Qingcheng's gaze fell on Lin Xiaowan.

Although this girl was delicate and cute, she was merely delicate.

According to the scoring criteria of that magical mission board, she would score an 85 at most, still a step away from the 90-point threshold required by the "Spreading the Leaves Mission."

Under the influence of the System, people in the Sect would automatically rationalize certain incomprehensible things!

Suddenly.

A flash of inspiration exploded in Ye Qingcheng's mind!

She suddenly remembered the rules for [Mission One]:

Requirement: Match high-quality Dao Companions (Beauty 90+).

Reward: The introducer can obtain [god-level beauty preservation pill], [Top-grade Spiritual Artifact], etc.!

"Wait!"

Ye Qingcheng's beautiful eyes narrowed slightly as she calculated quickly in her heart:

"Xiao Wan's beauty isn't high enough right now, so she doesn't count as a mission target."

"But if... I give this Beauty Preservation Pill to Xiao Wan to eat..."

"The Beauty Preservation Pill has the effect of 'fine-tuning facial features and physique, enhancing beauty.' After eating it, Xiao Wan's beauty will definitely break through the 90-point mark!"

"At that time, once Xiao Wan becomes a standard-compliant great beauty, I'll 'match' her with Husband..."

"Wouldn't that count as me completing another mission?!"

"When the Ancestral Master's reward is issued, not only will I be able to get a new Beauty Preservation Pill, but I'll also earn an extra Spiritual Artifact!"

Using one pill to trade for future rewards, an expanded circle of sisters, and a happy husband.

This wave of investment was a massive profit!

Having thought this through, Ye Qingcheng almost laughed out loud.

I really am a Genius!

She took a deep breath, instantly adjusted her expression, and a gentle, magnanimous smile befitting the Main Wife appeared on her face.

"Husband, I thought it was some major matter."

Ye Qingcheng reached out her jade-like hand and picked up the two boxes.

Under Wang Yang's shocked gaze, she turned around and stuffed them into the hands of Su Qingge and Lin Xiaowan respectively.

"Madam? You..." Wang Yang was dumbfounded.

Ye Qingcheng lightly brushed her hair at her temple and said softly:

"Husband, our hearts have long been as one. You know my appearance best. Even without this pill, I am the most beautiful in your heart, right?"

"Besides, I am the elder sister."

Ye Qingcheng looked at Su Qingge and Lin Xiaowan, her tone full of care:

"Sister Su has just entered the Sect and is a newcomer; she should have a welcoming gift."

"As for Xiao Wan..." Ye Qingcheng looked at Lin Xiaowan's still-developing figure and said earnestly, "This girl is at the age where she's still growing. With this pill, she can grow up to be even more beautiful, lest she embarrass the Sect when taken out in the future."

"So, let's give these two pills to them. It doesn't matter for me."

Silence.

A deathly silence.

Wang Yang looked at Ye Qingcheng, so moved that his eyes turned red.

What kind of spirit was this?

"Madam..." Wang Yang grasped her hand, "You are truly... too sensible! I... have no way to repay you, so I will definitely compensate you well tonight!"

Su Qingge was also moved to a complete mess.

She had originally thought the Main Wife would monopolize the resources, but she never expected the Madam to be so noble and selfless!

"Madam's righteousness! Qingge... Qingge is ashamed!" Su Qingge said with tears in her eyes.

Only Lin Xiaowan stood there holding the box, completely dazed.

Happiness had come too suddenly, just like a tornado.

"Mis... Mistress! You're my real mother!!"

Lin Xiaowan gave a howl and pounced, hugging Ye Qingcheng's leg and rubbing against it. "I'll definitely be obedient in the future! If Mistress tells me to go east, I'll never go west! If Mistress tells me to steal Revered Master's private savings, I'll never hesitate!"

"Go, go, go, who wants you to steal private savings."

Ye Qingcheng laughed as she pushed her away, but her heart was delighted.

Eat up, eat up. Once you've eaten it and become prettier, it'll be easier for me to take you to farm mission rewards.

Watching this harmonious scene, Wang Yang breathed a long sigh of relief.

He had expected a Shura field, but it was perfectly resolved by his wife's high emotional intelligence.
