The Qin Family was one of the top families on the vast Heavenly Profound Continent, ranking high in both power and influence.
Unfortunately, the current generation of the Qin Family head had no sons, only two daughters.
This drew both sighs and covetous gazes, as many forces eyed the opportunity to form alliances by marriage—such a golden chance could not be missed.
After all, the reputation of the Qin Family Sisters was immense.
Not only were they monstrously talented, but their beauty was enough to topple kingdoms.
If one could marry them, there would be no regrets in this lifetime.
But the difficulty was simply too high.
Many outstanding young men had tried and failed, yet countless suitors remained.
After all, what if they happened to be the one who touched their hearts?
Around noon, in the Qin Family estate, the door to a room opened, and a young boy stepped out.
His face was youthful and handsome, his eyes still sleepy.
This was the Young Master of the Qin Family—Qin Mu.
Qin Mu scratched his messy hair and yawned.
“Hu—how is it already noon again? I remember going to bed early last night…”
No matter how much he cultivated, Qin Mu’s cultivation never improved, so over time, he became a complete slacker.
Slacking was refreshing for a while, and even more so if you kept at it!
Of course, whenever inspiration struck, Young Master Qin would suddenly work hard at cultivation, only to give up after a few days.
As the saying goes, intermittently ambitious, consistently waiting to die.
The teacher invited to guide Qin Mu’s cultivation was so angry he pointed at Qin Mu’s nose and roared, “At your age, how can you sleep so soundly!”
Qin Mu treated these words like the wind passing by his ears.
“Young Master! Young Master!”
Just as Qin Mu finished washing up and was about to eat, a servant came running over.
Qin Mu recognized him—his loyal lapdog—Mei Liu.
“Hey, Xiao Liuzi, why are you in such a hurry?”
Mei Liu ran up to Qin Mu, gasping for breath.
“Young Master, it’s a huge good thing!”
Qin Mu looked at Mei Liu in confusion.
“What good thing?”
These days, with Miss Ruoshuang and Miss Mengyu at home, he needed approval just to go out and play, so he could only stay in his room reading idle books or napping.
Mei Liu pulled out a Storage Pouch and opened it.
Qin Mu’s eyes went wide in an instant!
All Ling Stones!
My goodness!
At least dozens of Ling Stones!
Mei Liu grinned foolishly.
“Hehe! Young Master, this was sent to you this morning by Second Young Lady’s order. She said you could go out and have fun all day today.”
Given by Miss Mengyu?!
Qin Mu was baffled.
No, that’s not right.
Would Miss Mengyu really let him go out and play alone so easily?
Ah!
Who cares!
In any case, Miss Mengyu would never harm him!
Taking the Storage Pouch, Young Master Qin was in high spirits.
He patted Mei Liu’s back.
“Let’s go! Xiao Liuzi, today we’ll eat, drink, and have fun!”
Qin Mu dashed out of the Qin Family estate in excitement.
***
Inside a refined pavilion of the Qin Family, two peerless beauties sat.
One was icy and aloof, engrossed in a book with several others stacked in front of her, reading with great interest.
The other appeared gentle and graceful, her beautiful eyes fixed on a Dan Prescription.
From time to time, she put it down to gaze out the window, clearly distracted.
At that moment, a maid entered.
“Reporting to Second Young Lady, Young Master has already left the estate.”
Qin Mengyu set down the Dan Prescription and looked toward her Elder Sister sitting not far away.
“Mu’er has gone out. Shall we begin the plan?”
Qin Ruoshuang turned to the next page and replied unhurriedly.
“No rush. Let Mu’er enjoy himself a while longer, then close the net.”
Staring at the book in her Elder Sister’s hand, Qin Mengyu’s eyes blazed with anger.
Yesterday, she had personally cleaned her younger brother’s room and found a pile of indecent books.
The stories inside were extraordinarily detailed, with vivid character portrayals—not only male-male and female-female, but even human-fox, human-cat, human-snake, and more.
Qin Mengyu was so furious she almost gave her wayward little brother a good beating.
Qin Ruoshuang, noticing her Sister’s wrath, glanced through the book’s illustrations after inquiring.
She, too, felt outraged!
If he wanted to read such things, he should have just told them!
As Elder Sisters, how could they refuse a cute younger brother’s request?
But to go behind their backs to read about such plain-looking women—unforgivable!
Thus, the Qin Family Sisters decided to set a trap for their little brother, to teach him a lesson and make sure he didn’t go down the road of being obsessed with indecent things!
***
Elsewhere, the unsuspecting Young Master Qin was gorging himself, oblivious to the trap his Elder Sisters had laid.
Stuffed and content, Qin Mu patted his round belly and wandered the street in satisfaction.
Mei Liu trailed behind him.
“Young Master, I recently found another batch of good books. They’re quite exciting!”
At the mention of this, Qin Mu immediately perked up.
“Still sold at the Old Place?”
Mei Liu nodded.
Lately, Qin Mu had discovered that books featuring only Xiao Liu Bei’s text now included illustrations!
The artwork was so lifelike—even the fur was drawn realistically, prompting readers to exclaim: Great master, please accept my kneeling!
So Young Master Qin started buying books, preparing to immerse himself in the sea of knowledge.
Naturally, he couldn’t buy books under his own name.
If his Elder Sisters found out, it would be the end.
Therefore, the task fell to Mei Liu.
After training over this period, Mei Liu had come to master all of Young Master Qin’s various tastes.
Following Mei Liu, Qin Mu arrived at their usual trading spot.
Unlike before, when he could only afford one book at a time, this time Young Master Qin bought ten at once!
How could one be enough? I need ten!
“Hehe!”
Qin Mu hugged the stack, thoroughly satisfied.
After all, this was spiritual nourishment!
Now that he was content, Qin Mu lost all motivation to stay outside and headed straight back to the Qin Family estate.
A servant cleaning the courtyard watched in surprise.
Why did Young Master return so quickly?
Normally, he never came back before dark!
Back in his room, Qin Mu told Mei Liu to stand guard at the door and forbade anyone from entering without his orders.
Impatiently, Young Master Qin tore open the books—
And was stunned.
There was nothing.
Only blank pages!
Anger!
Damn swindlers!
I knew new releases couldn’t come out so fast!
Fuming, Qin Mu flung open the door, only to find not Mei Liu, but Qin Mengyu standing outside!
Terrified, Qin Mu spun around to hide the books—only to see Qin Ruoshuang right behind him.
It’s over, it’s over!
“Mu’er, are the books interesting?”
Qin Mengyu smiled radiantly.
“Gulp.”
Qin Mu swallowed.
Even an idiot could guess that his Elder Sisters had discovered his secret habit of secretly reading Xiao Liu Bei’s books.
Qin Mu felt utter despair.
That day, the servants of the Qin Family heard the ghostly wails of Young Master Qin echoing throughout the estate.
