"So much? Evan Chu, you really have the makings of a bandit! Even if Frostbane Sect cultivated for another ten years, it might not have this many Starstones and pills. This is like Frostbane Sect instantly advancing by ten years!" Selena Yale said, unable to contain herself.
As the former Heavenly Fragrance Pavilion Master, Selena Yale understood sect development even better than Evan Chu. Now, having received such a vast fortune, she was truly overjoyed.
"Pick what you want. Later, we'll give the rest to Elder Joan He to distribute among the disciples. They should be back soon. Not only did we wipe out our enemies, but we gained this mountain of wealth—feels incredible!" Evan Chu laughed.
In his heart, Evan Chu couldn't help but imagine how satisfying it would be to battle it out with all five women tonight—what a glorious event that would be! But he knew that was just a fantasy.
The five women didn't hold back—they each picked out pills and spirit herbs they needed and put them into their storage rings. Evan Chu also selected three sets, preparing them for Skylar Yule, Alex Xiao, and Luna Chu.
As for Golden Vulture and Shadow, they didn't need anything—both had reached their bottleneck and needed opportunities and even rarer heavenly treasures for breakthrough.
"So, shouldn't you all stay with me tonight? After taking so much from me, it'd be kind of awkward to just leave, right?" Evan Chu teased.
The women exchanged glances, their cheeks reddening. Everyone understood what Evan Chu meant, but embarrassment kept them silent for a while.
"Since no one said anything, I'll take that as agreement. I've been waiting for this day forever!" Evan Chu grinned.
"Evan Chu, you know we all love you dearly, but this request is really a bit much for us. You need to give us time to adjust. If you truly need us, we can take turns serving you, but all together would be way too awkward." Selena Yale said.
The women all nodded. Evan Chu laughed, "Heh, I was just joking anyway. But since Sister Selena said so, you should think about it. For tonight, let's start with Sister Selena—no objections, right?"
The women silently nodded. Selena Yale stayed while the others left. That night was destined to be extraordinary—passionate cries echoed in the room, continuing until the deepest hours of the night...
The next day, Evan Chu handed everything they'd gained to Elder Joan He to store in Frostbane Sect's treasury. He also distributed plenty of items to the sect disciples, making everyone deeply satisfied with the Blood Alliance's destruction.
Over the next few days, Evan Chu spent time with each woman in turn. Since he was about to leave, he wanted to savor these moments. This time, he didn't plan to bring anyone along—after all, bringing a woman to Rhea Yang's marriage tournament would only spoil the atmosphere.
These past few days, Evan Chu's relationship with Lynn Chu and Joan Chu had also grown much warmer. Now, they even let Evan hold them, and every so often they'd call him 'Dad,' which made him incredibly happy.
That day, Evan Chu gathered everyone in the main hall and announced, "I need to return to the Heavenly Dragon Empire for some business. Luna Chu and my big brother will go with me, but Elder He needs to lead us to the entrance back."
"Sect Master, when do you plan to set out?" Joan He asked.
"Tomorrow. I'll leave the sect matters to you all. Keep strong ties with Sacred Sword Sect, Freewind Palace, and the others. If anything happens, notify them immediately. Also, don't tell anyone I'm leaving. If they ask, just say I'm in closed-door cultivation," Evan Chu instructed.
"Sect Master, when will you be back from the Heavenly Dragon Empire? Frostbane Sect is only truly a great sect with you here," the Grand Elder said.
"I understand your concerns, but don't worry. Even if I leave, Sister Selena is still here. She's a fourth-layer Saint Martial powerhouse—hardly anyone in Azure Tide Ruins would dare mess with her. Her Heavenly Fragrance Poison is peerless under heaven," Evan Chu reassured.
"Evan Chu, just go with peace of mind. With us here, Frostbane Sect will be fine. Honestly, we just want to know when you'll be back so we can have some idea," Selena Yale said.
"Evan Chu, I want to go back with you. It's been two years since I saw my imperial father and mother, and I really miss them," Claire Ouyang said.
Evan Chu thought for a moment and said, "Alright, Claire, you can come with me. The rest of you will stay. I don't know how long I'll be gone—it could be months, maybe even years."
Actually, Evan Chu really wanted everyone to keep an eye out for anyone with the Obsidian Tortoise Bloodline in Azure Tide Ruins, but none of them could recognize it. Even if he explained, it would be pointless—he felt helpless.
This was Evan Chu’s greatest regret. He’d thought the Red-Clad Young Lord was the Obsidian Tortoise, but it turned out to be that Blood Emperor guy. All four Young Lords were outstanding, but none fit the bill—at least, the Sword Spirit hadn’t said so.
After discussing some daily matters, everyone left. Evan Chu took the women for a walk in the rear garden of Frostbane Sect. In the garden stood a pavilion, and the stone table there was already set with food and wine. Evan decided to have a good meal with them all.
Though everyone joked and laughed at the table, it was all just a mask. Evan Chu’s departure left the women heartsick and reluctant—especially Serena Dream and Lynne Nie, whose feelings churned with complexity. Selena Yale and Dream Princess both had children, so with Evan gone, they’d still have their children for company. But Serena and Lynne had nothing.
Besides, their time together with Evan Chu had been so short—in over two years, they’d spent less than a month truly together. Of course, Lynne Nie had more time in the secret chamber, but Serena Dream had the least.
"You don’t have to force a smile. It’s not like I’m leaving forever—I’m just going to find a way into the Netherworld. Don’t you want to break through to the Saint Martial Realm?" Evan Chu said.

"Evan Chu, just go with peace of mind. We'll be here waiting for you. Take care of yourself—there are true powerhouses out there, not just in Azure Tide Ruins, so don't get careless," Dream Princess said.
"I understand. Come on, everyone, raise your cups—for our next reunion! And when I return, I hope you'll all truly agree to sleep in the same bed with me," Evan Chu declared, eyes burning with hope.
That night, Evan Chu didn’t get entangled with any woman. He didn’t want to play favorites, so he quietly sat alone in his room, resting with his eyes closed.
"Evan Chu, once you find Ryan Ouyang and Roxanne Lin, I'll tell you where the Obsidian Tortoise Bloodline heir is. It's not time yet—you'll need patience," Luna's voice echoed in Evan Chu's mind late that night.
"What? The Obsidian Tortoise Bloodline? Luna, you already know who it is?" Evan Chu’s eyes snapped open in shock.
"I’ve known for a long time, but he hasn’t awakened the bloodline yet. Maybe after awakening, he’ll fight you—but he probably won’t be your match, since he lacks the humor and violet orchid to truly break through. Still, his defense might be even stronger than yours, so keep that in mind," the Sword Spirit said.
"Who is it? Is it someone I know?" Evan Chu asked. He didn’t know much about the Obsidian Tortoise, but he understood its defense was legendary—stronger than his own, which was no small feat.
"It’s no use telling you now. Wait until you find the other two first. I’m only telling you this so you can focus on your search. Lin Ruoxi’s Phoenix Temple isn’t a place just anyone can enter, so be prepared," the Sword Spirit said.
As for now, whether Ryan Ouyang has awakened the White Tiger Bloodline is still unknown. You have a major conflict with him—how you resolve it is up to you. I can't help you there.
If he’s in the White Tiger Temple now, there might be another big battle coming—life or death, who knows? There are peerless experts there too, so keep your mind on this!" the Sword Spirit said.
Evan Chu felt his head ache. The Phoenix Temple had strong experts—maybe Lin Ruoxi could help, but White Tiger Temple was a whole different problem. No one knew what might happen there.
"Forget it, I'll take things as they come. When I get back, we'll see what happens. If things go south, I can always rely on my speed and teleportation to escape," Evan Chu said with a bitter smile.
The next morning, as soon as Evan Chu opened his door, Alex Xiao was standing outside, looking a bit upset. Evan realized he’d neglected her during his visit home, and he understood why. "Alex, what’s wrong?" Evan asked.
"Big Bro, I’m heading back. There’s no point in me staying here if you’re leaving. I’ve been gone a long time—it’s time to check in at Northern Beast King Hall. The Fox King must be worried sick. I’ll come find you when you return," Alex Xiao said.
Evan Chu took out a Star Crystal and said, "Alex, this Star Crystal might be useful for you. Take it and absorb it. It won’t help you break through to the next realm, but it can boost your Stellar Power. Big Bro is waiting for the day you become a true woman."
"Big Bro! I swear I'll do it!" Alex Xiao's eyes brimmed with tears like pear blossoms in the rain. Evan Chu gently pulled her into his arms...
After a while, Evan Chu let her go. "Alex, it’s time for me to leave. This trip is pretty secret, so your sisters-in-law won’t be coming to see me off. Take care of yourself!"
At that moment, Claire Ouyang, Skylar Yule, Luna Chu, and Joan He were already waiting for Evan Chu. When he arrived, Joan He said, "Sect Master, let’s go. To get back to Heavenly Dragon Empire, we have to first return to the Monster Beast Forest—only there is the entrance. But we’ll need to stop by Heavenly Fragrance Pavilion first, since only they have the teleportation portal to Monster Beast Forest."
Evan Chu nodded, and everyone soared into the sky toward Heavenly Fragrance Pavilion. What fate awaited after Evan's secret departure this time...?
