Chapter 165: Settle Grudges and Resentments

"What? Go to the God Realm to find the Sea God???"

Bo Saixi froze completely. Was this some kind of joke? Her husband was indeed strong, but compared to herself, he was still a bit lacking.

Even she was only the Sea God's representative in the Douluo Continent. Where exactly did her husband get the confidence to say he wanted to go to the God Realm to find the Sea God?

"H-Husband, don't joke like that. The God Realm isn't somewhere you can go so easily. Besides, the Sea God is omnipotent—how could he possibly agree to such an outrageous request?"

Bo Saixi shook her head repeatedly like a rattle drum, pushing Zhao Ling's hand—still holding the Nine-Rank Purple Zhi—back.

"Husband, this immortal herb, why don't you leave it for the other sisters? Whether I become a god or not doesn't matter. As long as you don't forget to visit me often after I return to Sea God Island, that's enough."

Zhao Ling disliked taking back gifts once offered. His expression immediately turned stern, and his gaze sharpened.

"What's this, Xi'er? Do you still not trust your husband? When I say I have a way to help you regain your god trials, then I have a way. If you don't obediently accept and absorb the Nine Treasure Purple Zoysia, believe it or not, I'll make sure you can't leave the bedroom for five days."

"Uhh…" Bo Saixi shivered instinctively and snatched the Nine Treasure Purple Zoysia from Zhao Ling's hand.

Whether her husband could really make her unable to leave the room for five days—there was no doubt in her mind.

After all, just a few days ago, he had worn out Sister Long'er first, then left both her and Yin'er thoroughly "disciplined."

His physique really was monstrously good. To avoid being harshly "punished" again, she figured it best to be obedient. Otherwise, she'd be the one suffering again.

Seeing Bo Saixi obediently holding the Nine Treasure Purple Zoysia, Zhao Ling finally nodded with satisfaction.

Then he suddenly remembered something and asked in a consultative tone.

"Xi'er, Yin'er, have either of you noticed any changes in your body after doing that kind of thing with me lately?"

"What?" Ah Yin tilted her head, her confusion plain: "Husband, what do you mean exactly?"

Bo Saixi also looked at him with big innocent eyes. "Husband, be clear. What do you mean 'changes'? Don't be vague."

Liu Erlong, seeing the two women confused, quickly chimed in: "It's like—subtle improvements in strength and constitution. Even if small, you should be able to feel it."

"Strength and constitution improvement? No way. Sister Long'er, are you joking?

I've been with our husband the longest, and I've never felt any sort of boost after doing that with him."

Ah Yin frowned, suspicion in her eyes.

"That's right, Sister Long'er. I may have met our husband after you, but I became his woman before you did. I've never felt what you're describing either."

Bo Saixi's beautiful eyes were also filled with doubt. She figured Sister Long'er probably absorbed some celestial herb recently, and attributed the increase in strength and constitution to their bedroom activities.

Liu Erlong fell into silence. Why was it that only she felt her strength and constitution improve after sharing a bed with him, while Xi'er and Yin'er didn't?

There had to be something different. After thinking hard for a while, she suddenly realized something, and her cheeks flushed crimson.

"Xi'er, Yin'er, I think I figured out why my strength and constitution improved."

"What is it?" Bo Saixi and Ah Yin asked in unison, eyes full of curiosity.

After all, any boost to constitution and strength was a huge plus—even small, incremental gains were extremely valuable.

Liu Erlong made a "come closer" gesture with her hand, and the two women leaned in without hesitation.

After whispering a few words into their ears, both women's eyes widened in disbelief as they looked at her.

"Sister Long'er, are you crazy? You're actually willing to do that kind of thing?"

"Yeah, Sister Long'er, isn't that going a bit too far? Our husband's the type who takes advantage and plays innocent. Aren't you worried he'll…"

Liu Erlong's face turned bitter.

"What choice did I have? That night when our husband threatened to punish me, you two ran off faster than lightning. Weren't we supposed to be good sisters, sharing joy and hardship together?

But look at you—where's the sisterhood in that? Now you're saying I'm being improper? Well…"

Her bitter expression gradually shifted into one of smug pride. "Turns out, I made the right call."

Seeing her reaction, Bo Saixi and Ah Yin exchanged glances, then both turned their eyes toward Zhao Ling—though their gazes drifted… downward.

Zhao Ling felt a chill under their stares and quickly realized what Liu Erlong must've whispered to them. He turned and tried to flee back to his room.

But Bo Saixi moved swiftly to block his escape route.

"Husband, don't run! Weren't you being all arrogant just now? What are you afraid of?"

From behind, Ah Yin placed her hands gently on his shoulders, her smile gentle and sweet.

"That's right, naughty husband. You dared to bully Sister Long'er so hard. Now it's time to pay the price for it. Brace yourself…"

Zhao Ling wore an awkward smile and tried to appease them both.

"Come on now, Xi'er, Yin'er… Your husband's really tired today from the trip to Sunset Forest. Can't I just get a little rest?"

"Save it. Come with us—now." Bo Saixi and Ah Yin didn't bother arguing. Each grabbed him by the arm and dragged him straight toward the master bedroom.

Liu Erlong, seeing this, thought she'd finally get a peaceful night of rest. After all, soaking in the hot spring earlier had left her feeling quite lightheaded.

But then Bo Saixi's voice called out:

"Sister Long'er, what are you standing there for? Didn't our husband go hard on you a few days ago? Aren't you angry?

Now with Yin'er and me backing you up, you can finally settle your scores. Whatever happens, he won't dare say a word. Hurry!"

After considering it briefly, Liu Erlong grinned mischievously and dashed toward the master bedroom, closing the door tight behind her.

Several servants watched as their master was dragged into the room by three wives and were all curious about what would happen next—but they couldn't hear a thing.

The reason? Bo Saixi, not wanting anyone to eavesdrop on what happened inside, had already activated her domain power to completely isolate the room from outside noise.

If anyone could hear anything through that, they'd have to be a ghost…
