Yuan Tian had no choice but to nod in agreement; only Zhou Xingdou would do such a thing.
If it were anyone else, the building would have been demolished by the elders of the Xuantian Dao Sect as soon as the foundation was laid.
Although the exterior of the Hall of All Stars is no different from that of the Hall of Pure Heart, the interior structure is quite different. Apart from the majestic and spacious main hall, the two side halls are all luxuriously decorated residences.
These dwellings were built with great care, and all the facilities needed for daily life were provided. The rooms were also equipped with small arrays for dust removal, water supply, soundproofing, and spirit gathering.
Given the sheer size of the Hall of All Stars, this side hall alone has dozens of living quarters, not even counting the middle and rear halls behind the main hall.
These are certainly not Zhou Xingdou's residences; they are probably reserved for his future women. It must be said that these residences are enough for him to use for a while.
Then Zhou Xingdou also looked at Qiu Yu and Yue Shuhua:
"Pick a place to stay; you'll live here from now on."
After hearing Zhou Xingdou's words, Yue Shuhua remained calm and showed no reaction.
Qiu Yu was somewhat flattered, after all, she used to have no independent residence, let alone sleep in a large communal bed with other maids when she was in the Lin residence.
Even after she joined the Xuantian Dao Sect as Lin Fan's attendant and had her own room, she still lived with Lin Fan in a small building.
Her past humility made her cautiously and timidly confirm:
"Is it one person per residence?"
Qiu Yu's words made everyone look at her with pity in their eyes.
After all, everyone here comes from a good background; they were all born into wealth and privilege.
Yuan Tian is a descendant of Tianhui, the patriarch of the Divine Martial Sect. Princess Iron Fan was also a princess of the Rakshasa Kingdom in her original world.
Yue Shuhua is also the eldest daughter of the Yue family, the most prestigious family in the Great Yan Dynasty.
Even Fahai, who became a monk, was the son of a prime minister before he became a monk.
Their background and circumstances made it hard for them to imagine that anyone would ask such a question.
Zhou Xingdou's expression turned cold at this moment, and he coldly shouted:
"Stop your pity, my woman needs no pity!"
Yuan Tian and Fahai trembled immediately and quickly looked away. Even the talkative Yuan Tian fell silent at this moment.
But a hint of affection flashed in Princess Iron Fan's and Yue Shuhua's eyes, and they felt their legs go weak, almost collapsing to the ground.
After Zhou Xingdou finished speaking, he took off the storage ring in his hand, opened Qiu Yu's hand, who was still standing there dumbfounded, and placed the storage ring in her palm.
Zhou Xingdou looked at Qiu Yu, ruffled her hair, and said:
"From now on, you will be the chief steward of the Punishment Thunder Palace. You will be in charge of all expenditures here, and you may use the resources for your own cultivation without having to tell me."
At this moment, everyone's eyes turned to Qiu Yu again, and Yuan Tian was extremely envious.
While others may not know, Yuan Tian does: Zhou Xingdou took a treasure vault with him when he left the Zhou family.
Zhou Xingdou was wearing a storage ring on his hand, which contained incalculable resources and over a hundred sacred weapons and artifacts, almost filling most of the treasure vault.
For Zhou Xingdou, even if Qiu Yu did come from a humble background, once she became his woman, she didn't need any pity.
That kind of pity, though well-intentioned, is actually an insult to oneself.
Pity is an emotion that only a superior feels towards an inferior. But as Zhou Xingdou's woman, even if she is the least favored, she is still a being above millions of cultivators.
Apart from Stephen Chow, no one can pity them with the same feelings one would have for those in lower positions!
They must be high above!
Qiu Yu's bright eyes were filled with tears, but they were not tears of sadness, but tears of joy:
"Master~ Qiuyu..."
As she spoke, Qiu Yu threw herself into Zhou Xingdou's arms, trembling and speechless for a moment, but her heart was already filled with Zhou Xingdou, almost overflowing, and there was no room for anything else.
Zhou Xingdou gently stroked Qiu Yu's back. He didn't actually have much affection for Qiu Yu, nor did he particularly like her.
In his previous life, he had even felt a slight aversion to this chief steward of destiny.
However, in this life, Qiu Yu has done enough for me. The Myriad Transformations Slave Seal has been dispelled, yet she remains loyal to me and even personally drove Lin Fan to the brink of despair.
This made it impossible for Zhou Xingdou not to accept her. Lin Fan was already dead, and if he didn't take her back, the world would be vast but she would have no place to stand, trapped in the physical realm for her entire life, and become a handful of dust a hundred years later.
Moreover, Qiu Yu is naturally capable of managing affairs, and her abilities in her previous life are evident to all. Making her the head steward of the Punishment Thunder Palace is a wise move.
Princess Iron Fan and Yue Shuhua couldn't help but exchange a smile. One of them was absolutely loyal to Zhou Xingdou, while the other was bound by the Myriad Transformations Slave Mark and could never betray him.
But they are not heartless puppets; they all have their own thoughts.
To others, Stephen Chow's behavior seems like an overreaction and is rather annoying.
But for the women who are with Stephen Chow, his actions only make them feel happy and fortunate to have met such a man.
Even though he was unpredictable, he didn't treat his woman as a tool to vent his emotions, but rather cared for her from the bottom of his heart.
Even Yue Shuhua, the Empress of the Great Yan Dynasty, was deeply moved. After all, having once been in the royal family, such a loving man was extremely rare. Without the subtle influence of the Wanhua Slave Seal, she was immediately captivated by Zhou Xingdou.
After Zhou Xingdou wiped away Qiu Yu's tears, he said gently:
"Alright, from now on you are the chief steward of the Punishment Thunder Palace. My woman, you can no longer be so humble as you are today."
Qiu Yu nodded emphatically, though her voice was hoarse from crying, her pretty face unwavering as she said:
"Master, rest assured, Qiuyu will definitely do her job well from now on and will never let you down."
Zhou Xingdou also let out a slow breath, shook his head with a light laugh.
Since Lin Fan's death, he seemed to have become much gentler. The dissipation of that blood feud had made his mind much brighter.
I don't know if it's a good thing or a bad thing.
However, seeing his storage ring in Qiu Yu's hand immediately reminded Zhou Xingdou of the True Dragon Body Forging Technique:
"By the way, there is a True Dragon Body Forging Method in that storage ring, which can forge an acquired physique and fuse with the bloodline of a true dragon."
You can all cultivate this technique; if needed, you can ask Qiuyu to copy it.
Although Zhou Xingdou was afraid of polluting the Zhou family bloodline and therefore did not cultivate the True Dragon Body Forging Technique, the others did not.
Whether it's Yuan Tian, who is at the Supreme Saint Realm, or Yue Shuhua, who is at the Saint Realm, their bloodlines cannot be as noble as those of a true dragon. Cultivating this method will only bring them benefits, not harm.
Of course, the one who needs it most is Qiu Yu. Her aptitude is too poor, and cultivating the True Dragon Body Forging Technique is the best choice for her to enhance her talent.
Thinking of this, Zhou Xingdou also looked at the taciturn Fahai and gave him special instructions:
"This body-forging technique should be very suitable for your Great Mighty Heavenly Dragon, and may even allow you to cross that threshold of sainthood."
