"I..." Sun Yiyi blushed, lowered her head, and said nothing.

"Come on, tell us!" Chu Xianling seemed to have guessed something and was curious, grabbing one of Sun Yiyi's arms and asking.

"I... dreamt that I became a goddess." Sun Yiyi finally managed to say a few words.

"You already are a goddess now!" Chu Xianling teased Sun Yiyi.

"I was lying on a heart-shaped bed covered with roses, and the bed was set in an open field. Everywhere I looked, there were naked men worshiping me as a goddess." Sun Yiyi finally finished speaking.

"Hahaha!"

Chu Xianling and Song Xiaodong burst into loud laughter.

"Alright, stop laughing! You guys made me tell you, and now you're laughing at me." Sun Yiyi looked angrily at Song Xiaodong and Chu Xianling.

After laughing for a while, Song Xiaodong and Chu Xianling calmed down. Chu Xianling said to Song Xiaodong, "Xiaodong, can you believe Yiyi is thinking about other men — no, other men — it's just too much!"

"Very well, telling on me right in front of me!" Sun Yiyi glared at Chu Xianling.

"What? Am I not enough to satisfy you?" Song Xiaodong also joked, asking Sun Yiyi.

"It's not like that... it's just different. In my fantasy, I'm not just a woman, I'm a goddess being worshiped by men!" Sun Yiyi thought for a moment and showed a dreamy expression.

"Hey, what did you dream about?" Chu Xianling asked Song Xiaodong.

"I..." Song Xiaodong was also a bit embarrassed.

"Come on, we both shared ours!" Sun Yiyi also pressed Song Xiaodong.

"I also dreamt I became an Immortal." Song Xiaodong answered.

"In my dream, I refined a Golden Core, swallowed it, and then the Heaven Gate opened. Nine steps descended, and a group of gods came to take me to the heavens. I fell down, leaving only a golden light. I was about to step onto the Immortal Rank, but when I looked back and saw my wives, I hesitated, and then I woke up." Song Xiaodong continued.

"Nonsense, it wasn't Teacher Wang who saved you; it was us!" Chu Xianling said.

"Exactly!" Sun Yiyi crossed her arms, looking sideways at Song Xiaodong, displeased.

"Alright, alright, you two are right, I'll treat you to a meal!"

At lunch, Chu Xianling asked Song Xiaodong, "Can we return to Ming River tomorrow?"

"Yes." Song Xiaodong nodded.

"Alright, I'll call my sister to let her know." Chu Xianling called Song Xiaoru.

"Hey, why did you get so many bandages this morning?" Sun Yiyi asked Song Xiaodong.

"Causing trouble!" Song Xiaodong answered.

"How did you come back so quickly if you were causing trouble?" Sun Yiyi asked.

"I got something valuable." Song Xiaodong teased.

"What treasure?" Sun Yiyi asked.

"Have you heard of 'Qin Half Liang'?" Song Xiaodong asked.

Sun Yiyi shook her head.

"It's Qin Dynasty money. It can be used in medicine, specifically for treating injuries. I'll research it and refine some elixirs. Maybe it'll help your wounds heal better." Song Xiaodong answered.

"Hey, if I really can't wear backless dresses anymore, what will I do..." Sun Yiyi sighed sorrowfully.

"Don't worry, don't you trust my medical skill?" Song Xiaodong patted his chest.

"If the wounds heal and tear again, can you guarantee there won't be any scars?" Sun Yiyi asked.

"There definitely won't be any scars, but..." Song Xiaodong paused halfway through his sentence.

"But what?" Sun Yiyi asked with furrowed brows.

"After healing, the color of the wound might be a bit darker than the normal skin." Song Xiaodong replied.

"Ah—" Sun Yiyi wailed.

"What's the difference between that and a scar?" Sun Yiyi pouted, lying on the table and looking at Song Xiaodong sideways.

"Don't worry, my alchemy technique isn't up to par yet. Once my level improves, maybe I'll find a solution." Song Xiaodong replied.

Chu Xianling connected the call: "Sis, it's Xianling!"

"Oh, Xianling, when are you coming back?" Song Xiaoru asked from the other end of the line.

Chu Xianling put the call on speaker and placed it on the table.

"Xiaodong said we're returning tomorrow." Chu Xianling answered.

"Why have you been in Quanzhou for so long!" Song Xiaoru complained.

"Don't bring it up, it's all Xiaodong's fault; he's been causing trouble here!" Chu Xianling rolled her eyes at Song Xiaodong.

"Huh? What happened?" Song Xiaoru asked urgently.

Song Xiaodong motioned to Chu Xianling with his eyebrows, not wanting Song Xiaoru to know what happened here.

"Sis, it's nothing serious, don't worry, we'll be back tomorrow!" Chu Xianling looked at Song Xiaodong and quickly changed the subject.

"Xiaodong didn't get into another fight, did he?" Song Xiaoru asked.

"No, sis, nothing's wrong, we'll explain when we get back!" Chu Xianling quickly ended the call.

"Xianling, it's not Xiaodong's fault, he did it for me." Sun Yiyi said a bit sheepishly to Chu Xianling.

"It's his fault; we could've left today, but instead, he insisted on causing trouble at someone else's store today." Chu Xianling said, tilting her head and casting a sidelong glance at Song Xiaodong.

"Alright, alright, it's all my fault! But Quanzhou is a nice place, why are you in such a hurry to leave?" Song Xiaodong asked.

"Because it's just the two of us, and Yiyi is hurt, I can't look after you myself!" Chu Xianling shouted at Song Xiaodong, blushing.

"Alright, alright, I understand, I'll be gentle!" Song Xiaodong said with a smile to Chu Xianling.

"Hmph!"

The next day, Song Xiaodong and his group returned to Ming River.
