"Uh..."
In the forging room.
The Second Elder stared wide-eyed at Ye Wangchuan.
She pointed at Grey Eggplant, somewhat incredulously.
"Kid, you like this type?! I heard rumors that you were into the Li family's 1.39-meter-tall girl, but I didn’t believe it. Turns out it’s true!"
"Uh..."
Ye Wangchuan thought for a moment, about to explain that he wasn’t a lolicon and had no interest in lolis.
At that moment, the Second Elder turned to Grey Eggplant and asked.
"Did Ye Wangchuan make you like this for... *use*?"
"Yeah, used twice. Two hours each time."
Grey Eggplant said while raising her index and middle fingers.
Second Elder: "..."
Ye Wangchuan: "..."
Ye Wangchuan helplessly rubbed his forehead.
This was bad. There was no way to explain this now.
If he said he was just releasing and infusing spiritual energy, he wasn’t sure if the Second Elder would believe him.
Since he couldn’t explain...
He decided not to bother.
"Second Elder, could you prepare some spears for the third tier for me? The higher the quality, the better. Oh, and it’d be great if you could prepare some for the fourth tier in advance too."
"Ah, sure, sure. Actually, I already prepared them. I just didn’t expect you to break through so quickly, reaching the third tier in just a month. Here, take these."
The Second Elder handed two spatial rings to Ye Wangchuan.
Ye Wangchuan checked them and saw that each ring contained over a thousand spears piled together.
"The spears in the left ring are Radiant Gold Spears, weighing five thousand tons each, with excellent spiritual energy conductivity."
"Each one costs about three hundred gold coins to make. With my craftsmanship, they could sell for around a thousand gold coins each."
"The spears in the right ring are Spirit Radiant Gold Spears, weighing over ten thousand tons each. They’ll be too heavy for you to use right now, so don’t worry about them yet."
"Once you reach the fourth tier, come back to me. I’ll upgrade all these Radiant Gold Spears into Spirit Radiant Gold Spears for you, so they won’t go to waste."
After the Second Elder finished explaining, Ye Wangchuan nodded in satisfaction.
Even the fourth-tier spears were prepared. This would last him a long time.
After all, the higher the cultivation level, the slower the progress.
Currently, Ye Wangchuan was at the mid-stage of the third tier.
To break through to the late stage of the third tier, he would need over a hundred cultivation pills and more than forty Foundation Building Pills.
By the time he reached the fourth tier, it would probably start at three hundred pills.
And right now, it seemed Li Luo was struggling to keep up with Ye Wangchuan’s demands.
"Could it be because Li Luo’s own cultivation level is too low, so the system rewards aren’t keeping up? If that’s the case, I’ll hold off on relying on her for now. I’ll start again once she reaches the late stage of the second tier."
"I’ll try to maintain a full cultivation realm gap between us, so she doesn’t fall too far behind."
After thinking this through, Ye Wangchuan asked one last question.
"Second Elder, can you upgrade Grey Eggplant for me?"
"Not right now. The person who upgraded Grey Eggplant is more skilled than I am. I’ll need to study it more."
The Second Elder explained.
With the final answer, Ye Wangchuan politely bid farewell and left the forging room with Grey Eggplant.
"Second Elder, I’m heading out now. I’ve got something to discuss with Master Fang Que."
"Alright, take care on the way."
The Second Elder nodded.
After Ye Wangchuan left, the Second Elder stayed behind, deep in thought.
"Come to think of it, Ye Wangchuan’s master Fang Que is also 1.38 meters tall..."
"So, Ye Wangchuan really likes this type, huh."
The Second Elder sat on a stool, pondering the scene that had just unfolded.
Honestly, she wasn’t too surprised that Ye Wangchuan had a preference for petite women.
After all, from the time he was born until adulthood, Ye Wangchuan had always shown no interest in women.
Several stunningly beautiful daughters from other families had tried to arrange engagements with him.
But Ye Wangchuan had firmly rejected all of them.
At the time, the family had praised him for being indifferent to women, saying he had great potential.
But now, thinking about it...
It might have been because those daughters were all over 1.5 meters tall!
As she thought about it, the Second Elder suddenly stood up.
She walked over to a bronze mirror and examined her own 1.75-meter-tall frame, her slightly toned muscles, and her well-defined abs...
This appearance definitely wasn’t Ye Wangchuan’s type!
"No! I need to change myself!"
The Second Elder stood up and left the forging room.
She tossed a sword under her feet and immediately flew off in a certain direction.
Soon, she arrived near the alchemy room.
She knocked on the door and, after getting permission, walked in.
Inside, the Fourth Elder was sitting in front of a furnace, keeping an eye on the flames.
"Huh? What brings you here?"
The Fourth Elder looked at the Second Elder with some confusion.
"I need a favor, and don’t tell anyone about this, okay?"
The Second Elder peeked left and right at the door, then walked in and closed it behind her, speaking in a serious tone.
"Can you refine some special pills for me? The kind that can shrink my body to around 1.38 meters tall?"
"What?!"
The Fourth Elder immediately looked at her with a puzzled expression.
The Second Elder tilted her head, somewhat embarrassed.
"You know how people say... Ye Wangchuan likes that girl from the Li family... and she’s 1.39 meters tall..."
"Uh..."
The Fourth Elder furrowed his brows, confused.
"Not to be rude, but there’s a gap of tens of thousands of years between you and Ye Wangchuan. And you’re both from the Ye family. Isn’t this a bit..."
"That’s not an issue. My father was adopted by our grandfather, so technically, Ye Wangchuan and I are of the same generation. And since it’s an adoption, there’s no blood relation."
The Second Elder’s explanation left the Fourth Elder silent.
He felt something was off, but he couldn’t quite put his finger on it.
"Alright, alright. You helped me build my furnace, so I’ll help you with this. As long as it’s just shrinking the body, right?"
"Right."
Seeing the Fourth Elder agree, the Second Elder couldn’t help but smile.
She had helped Ye Wangchuan so much. Was it too much to ask for a little payback?

"Fine. Then grant this princess a consort to play with." "He must be obedient, devoted, and utterly infatuated with my body—so much so that he’d kneel and kiss my feet." "Your Highness, that’s not a consort. That’s a dog." "Then add clever, witty, heroic, ambitious yet pragmatic..." "Hmm, that’s enough for now. I’ll add more later."
