Although the arrow was off target, Sofia quickly stowed away her Light Divine Bow and hurried toward Lin Tianming with Lianghua.

"Tianming!"

"Ming Jun!"

Both women had faces full of surprised joy, almost wishing to throw themselves into Lin Tianming's arms to revel in the joy of reunion.

Yet, before they could, Ye Qingxue, who was linked arm-in-arm with Lin Tianming, stepped into his embrace first, blocking them from hugging Lin Tianming.

At the same time, Ye Qingxue made a face by stretching her index finger across her eyelid.

"Gotcha!"

Just as they were happily reunited with Lin Tianming, Lianghua and Sofia's mood was disrupted by Ye Qingxue.

At this moment, Lin Tianming could hear what they were thinking in their hearts.

Ye Qingxue did this intentionally to display the dignity of the Empress.

After making her point clear to Sofia and Lianghua that she, Ye Qingxue, was the true Empress, Ye Qingxue no longer bothered them.

However, neither Sofia nor Lianghua had the ability to eavesdrop on thoughts, and they were now filled with grievances.

Fortunately, as Ye Qingxue suggested in her thoughts, after making faced in Lin Tianming's embrace for a while, she voluntarily stepped out of his arms.

"Knowing you miss Brother Tianming, I won't tease you anymore; you two can hug him if you want!"

After all, having been together for so long, Ye Qingxue, despite her jealousy, wouldn't be as completely resistant to Sofia and Lianghua as she was at the beginning.

To Lin Tianming's surprise, the usually possessive Ye Qingxue let them be, and Sofia and Lianghua plunged into Lin Tianming's embrace.

"Tianming, it's so good to reunite with you after such a long period of training!"

"Ming Jun, I really missed you! But to try and catch up with you, I had to seek my own opportunities. Fortunately, we've reunited!"

Listening to the confessions of Sofia and Lianghua, Lin Tianming gently caressed their heads and hair.

"I actually visited the Abandoned Land twice, wanting to gather with you, but since you were out training, it was delayed until now, but it's alright!"

Beside them, Ye Qingxue struck a victorious pose, proudly saying: "I'm the clever one, when Brother Tianming returned from the Genetic God Country, I accompanied him all the way to the Mechanical Divine Country, and now I'm with him in the Spiritual Power Divine Country!"

Hearing Ye Qingxue boast about her love-smart intelligence, Lin Tianming couldn't help but be amused, as he truly didn't want to criticize her.

He didn't want to say anything about Ye Qingxue, but that didn't mean Sofia and Lianghua wouldn't speak up.

"So, you are only Fifth Order now."

Lianghua's comment instantly irritated Ye Qingxue.

"Are you very strong now?"

"I am already a Seventh-Order God! Ming Jun seems to be only Sixth Order… but his ability to fight above his level far surpasses us, even with my higher level, I definitely can't beat him!"

As Lianghua spoke, she demonstrated her Seventh-Order God Spirit Master power.

Seeing that Lianghua had reached the Seventh Order, Ye Qingxue, now lagging two levels behind, turned red with urgency.

"We were at the same level before. If my cultivation is slow now… it's because I've been wholeheartedly waiting for Brother Tianming, always the most obedient one waiting for his return!"

"I am also a Seventh-Order God now!"

Sofia also timely displayed her Seventh-Order God power, continuing, "We went out to keep up with Tianming like before, fighting alongside him, not wanting to be mere decorations; we care about Tianming too!"

Ye Qingxue, flushed and persistent, insisted: "Anyway, I care about Brother Tianming the most!"

To prove their care for Lin Tianming, Sofia and Lianghua were on the verge of arguing with Ye Qingxue.

"It sounds as if we don't care about Ming Jun… not wanting to be mere decorations is actually the way we show we care the most about Ming Jun!"

"Exactly, we are the ones who care about Tianming the most!"

"They were talking and talking, and both their faces turned red."

Ye Qingxue pouted and said, "I'm no vase! Anyway, Brother Tianming matters the most to me, all of you should step back!"

Really, three women, one show!

Watching Ye Qingxue, Lianghua, and Sofia argue over a trivial matter, Lin Tianming felt like his head was going to explode.

The Light Goddess, who brought Lin Tianming and Ye Qingxue here, even though she had lived for endless years, was still dumbfounded by the complex relationship between the four of them.

She brought Lin Tianming and Ye Qingxue here with the intention of showing them the impressive archery skills of a new disciple she had taken in at the Bright Holy Mountain.

But instead…

It inexplicably turned into this mess…

Despite being stunned, the Light Goddess was still quietly watching the drama unfold, curious to see what would happen next.

If Ye Qingxue and the others continued arguing like this, Lin Tianming felt that the three of them could end up fighting until tomorrow.

To give his mind some peace, Lin Tianming thought it was time to assert his authority and intimidate them a bit.

"Enough! Stop it! Stop arguing, you're driving me insane!"

As Lin Tianming spoke with an undeniable forceful tone, the three women's drama featuring Ye Qingxue suddenly quieted down.

Lin Tianming usually had a good temper and was very fond of them.

His sudden stern attitude showed that their quarrel had genuinely affected his mood.

Thinking of this, Ye Qingxue and the other two girls felt somewhat guilty due to the assertive stance Lin Tianming took.

They looked at Lin Tianming with guilty expressions, pursing their lips like children who had done something wrong.

"I'm sorry... Brother Tianming... Qingxue shouldn't have only considered her own feelings... We disturbed you... I'm really sorry!"

"Ming Jun... It's my fault... I shouldn't have compared Level Realms with Ye Qingxue right from the start... It's normal for me to have a higher level since I came out to practice... I shouldn't have brought it up!"

"Tianming, it's also my fault... I shouldn't have mocked Ye Qingxue for being a vase... She sacrificed her own cultivation time just to wait for your return... She is the one who cares about you the most!"

All three, Ye Qingxue's attitude softened, deeply reflecting on their mistakes.

Lin Tianming just wanted them to stop.

He didn't expect that his move to restore order would be so effective, even making Ye Qingxue and the others start to reflect.

He listened to their reflections and was a bit dumbfounded himself.

Were these still the Goddess Reborns he knew?

The Light Goddess on the sidelines, also watching the drama, felt dizzy.

The plot had taken such a dramatic turn!

Just a moment ago, Ye Qingxue and the others were blushing and arguing over a minor issue, how had they suddenly become so understanding and reasonable?

Was that one sentence from Lin Tianming really that powerful?

Before the Light Goddess could recover, more dizzying moments followed.

Only to see Ye Qingxue hurrying to say: "I'm not the one who cares about Brother Tianming the most... It was my greed, waiting for Brother Tianming to return... I didn't think about growing to protect Brother Tianming... Actually, you are the ones who really care about Tianming, you sacrificed the chance to meet him early... going through hardships... just to be able to fight alongside Brother Tianming again!"

Lianghua also immediately shook her head: "No... You are the one who cares about Ming Jun the most! We were just selfishly thinking about fighting alongside Ming Jun more in the future!"

Sofia strongly agreed: "If you wanted, you definitely could catch up to our levels... Our intentions were selfish, your sacrifice to seek opportunities is the greatest among us who care about Tianming!"

Seeing how humble they were, Lin Tianming was completely overwhelmed.

Had he been too harsh on them just now, causing an overcorrection?
