Too Many Girls Means Trouble

"Quinn is back as well." The Celestial Empress smiled and introduced her. "This is my daughter, Princess Quinn Xiao."

Lucia Lu rose to her feet and bowed. "Greetings, Princess."

"Mother, who is this goddess? Why haven't I seen her before?" Quinn asked.

"She is the eldest daughter of High God Quentin Lian—Lucia Lu. This time, all three Lu siblings have come to enlist in the army," the Celestial Empress explained. "Oh, and Lucia also brought you a Detoxification Pill!"

A Divine Attendant presented the gift box Lucia Lu had brought to Princess Quinn Xiao.

Quinn was just about to reach out for it, when she noticed the man who had entered with her standing there, staring fixedly at Lucia Lu.

He looked completely entranced.

Following Quinn's gaze, Lucia Lu also noticed the man.

He was strikingly handsome—fair-skinned, with soulful eyes, crow-blue hair, and a beauty that was captivating without being feminine.

Realizing he'd been staring, the man quickly hurried over to sit beside Henry Xiao.

Quinn's expression darkened. She didn't take the box, just reached out carelessly and flipped it open for a glance.

"I have plenty of these Detoxification Pills already! No need for Saint Maiden Lucia to go to all the trouble of bringing one all the way to the Celestial Palace!"

She waved her hand at the Divine Attendant who presented the pill. "It's yours—take it!"

The Divine Attendant's face changed dramatically, looking helplessly toward the Celestial Empress.

Henry Xiao immediately frowned and reprimanded, "Quinn! This is Lucia's heartfelt gift! How can you be so rude? Apologize to her at once!"

"Lucia, your little sister?" Quinn sneered. "Fourth Brother, since when did you gain a new sister?"

"Quinn, you're not a child anymore—how can you still be so thoughtless? Listen to your fourth brother and apologize to Saint Maiden Lucia!" the Celestial Empress added.

"Mother! I'm just telling the truth—why should I have to apologize?" Quinn turned and sat down beside the Empress, clinging to her arm.

She sat down in the seat Lucia had just vacated.

Lucia stood there, clearly feeling awkward.

Ryan Lu was about to explode, but Luna Lian quickly restrained him.

Lucia said nothing, simply left the Empress's side and moved to stand beside Ryan. "Sorry to disturb Your Majesty. We'll take our leave now."

The Celestial Empress quickly said, "Don't take it to heart, my daughter is simply spoiled—she's terribly immature!"

Lucia smiled. "Princess Quinn is so refreshingly direct—how could I mind? Thank you for your hospitality, Your Majesty. We'll be going now."

The Guardian Drake Lady also stood up with a smile, exchanged a few polite words, and led the three siblings out of the Celestial Palace.

Because of Yingshu, the three felt as comfortable with the Guardian Drake Lord and Lady as with their own elders.

On the way back, Ryan asked the Guardian Drake Lady about the man who had entered the palace with the princess and stared at Lucia so intently.

The Guardian Drake Lady replied, "That's Princess Quinn's cousin, Darren Xuan."

He's also the princess's fiancé. He's come to Drake Abyss to join the army.

The three siblings fell silent.

So that's her fiancé. No wonder the princess got upset when she saw him looking at another girl.

"Ugh! Too many girls at home is just trouble," Ryan complained. "It's like a den of tigers and wolves! From now on, I need to stay alert!"

Lucia and Luna both snickered.

After returning, the three siblings paid visits to several Dragon Lords' households.

The Dragon Lords were all very polite, introducing their children of similar age to the siblings.

The siblings realized that this must be a rare opportunity: the Divine Emperor himself is teaching, so all the Dragon Lords have sent their children to join the army.

It was sure to be lively…
