"Thank you, Boss!" the Twelve Golden Flowers and Mi Yiyao all shouted in joyful unison.
Their movements were perfectly synchronized, clearly the result of rigorous training.
Then, they all looked at Zhang Bin expectantly, curious about what kind of gift a mysterious King of Gamblers like him would present.
"My gift is a Cultivation Method and a Spirit Stone. From now on, you will all focus on your cultivation," Zhang Bin announced, his words landing with stunning impact.
He had decided to teach them a Cultivation Method because of a pleasant surprise: every single one of them was a cultivator. None were older than twenty-three, and the youngest was only eighteen. Despite their age, they had all reached the Rushing Pulse Realm, with even the weakest having opened three meridians.
It was clear they had begun their training at a young age, but their Cultivation Method was subpar, which explained their slow progress.
However, just like Mi Yiyao, they had all laid an excellent foundation. They were absolutely worth nurturing, and some might even reach the Golden Core Realm in the future.
After all, anyone who could reach the Rushing Pulse Realm with such an inferior Cultivation Method was a rare genius.
Of course, the reason Mi Yiyao's team was full of cultivators was due to the special nature of their work, which sometimes included bodyguard duties.
Ecstatic joy lit up the faces of all the beautiful women, and they sweetly thanked Zhang Bin once more.
"Before I give you your gifts, I have a secret to tell you," Zhang Bin said. "Do not let this secret slip out."
Once all Twelve Golden Flowers had given their solemn promise, Zhang Bin dropped another bombshell. "The secret is this: I am Zhang Bin, the King of Gamblers, but I am also Zhang Bin, the Divine Doctor. The Cultivation Method I'm about to teach you comes from the Taiqing Sect.
"From today on, you are all Outer Sect Disciples of the Taiqing Sect."
He had to tell them this secret because it was impossible to hide. As his confidantes, they were bound to learn many of his secrets eventually. It was better to tell them now than to wait for them to find out on their own.
"Ah... How is this possible?"
It was not just the Twelve Golden Flowers; even Mi Yiyao let out a shocked gasp, her face filled with disbelief.
Just last night, Mi Yiyao had been wondering why Divine Doctor Zhang Bin's women were at the meeting and seemed so close to the King of Gamblers, Zhang Bin.
But she hadn't dared to overthink it, nor had she dared to pry into the King of Gamblers' secrets. As a result, she had remained unaware that the two Zhang Bins were the same person.
Hearing it for the first time, she was utterly astounded. After all, both versions of Zhang Bin were terrifying figures. One was the King of Gamblers, who was now making a grand entrance into the entertainment industry. The other was Divine Doctor Zhang Bin, founder of the Wenwu Pharmaceutical Group and the Star Interlanguage School, who had amassed vast wealth and was backed by the powerful Taiqing Sect. Both were true titans.
The revelation that these two titans were the same person was truly terrifying. Just how powerful was the boss they served?
"Is it surprising?" Zhang Bin asked with a mischievous smile.
"Yes, it's incredibly surprising! But for us, it's a delightful one!"
"It's our honor to serve you, Boss."
"Boss, should we call you Master? Senior Brother? Or still Boss?"
The women all chimed in excitedly.
"Actually, you can call me whatever you like. Even 'husband' is okay," Zhang Bin said with a wicked grin.
They all burst into charming laughter. The youngest of the Twelve Golden Flowers, only eighteen years old, added with a coy smile, "Husband, I'm sorry, but I don't like all that lovey-dovey stuff. We can only make love once every three years."
Her comment immediately triggered a wave of uproarious laughter.
Zhang Bin didn't know whether to laugh or cry. These women are truly extraordinary. They'll need to be nurtured in a special way. Perhaps they'll grow into major figures who can hold up half the sky for the Taiqing Sect.
So, he conducted a special ceremony to induct them all into the Taiqing Sect. He then taught them the introductory Cultivation Method, which would allow them to cultivate up to the Qi Sea Realm.
Once they broke through to the Qi Sea Realm, he would naturally teach them the subsequent parts of the method.
Of course, he also gave each of them a Spirit Stone and explained how to use it, instructing them to dissolve it in water to drink.
"Girls, what are you waiting for? Thank the Boss! This one Spirit Stone alone is worth over a hundred million USD!" Mi Yiyao said excitedly, holding her own stone.
"What? This little stone is worth a hundred million?" The Twelve Golden Flowers were utterly stunned.
"The Spirit Stones are precious, but the Cultivation Method is far more valuable," Zhang Bin said sternly. "So, you must not let it be leaked."
"Yes, Boss." All the women agreed solemnly, their faces filled with gratitude. The youngest one added coquettishly, "Boss, as long as you'll have me, I'll serve you for life. And if I ever change my mind about getting married, I'll marry you. I won't even need a title."
"Me too!" the others all chimed in charmingly.
Zhang Bin was both touched and pleased. But I know they're all committed to being single. Changing their minds and making them even consider marriage would be harder than ascending to the heavens. This morning must have been difficult for Mi Yiyao. For her to go so far as to give me her first kiss was already an extraordinary step. That was probably her absolute limit.
Still, her loyalty to him was beyond doubt.
The women immediately threw themselves into their work. The planners began planning, the decorators started arranging things, and others got on the phone to negotiate with various companies.
The Gambler King Suit, Lucky Pendant, and Leaf Talisman had to be designed and produced as quickly as possible...
Zhang Bin, on the other hand, found he had little to do, as they had taken charge of everything.
After a while, Su Man and Zhu Danyan arrived together. Su Man had brought along many of her own staff, who were hauling in fine wines, ingredients, and of course, chefs.
As soon as Zhu Danyan arrived, she pulled Zhang Bin aside and said with a charming laugh, "My team is yours now, and it seems you've won them over. How about it? Are you satisfied?"
"Extremely satisfied," Zhang Bin said with a beaming smile. Acquiring such a group of beautiful and capable subordinates felt like a giant prize had just fallen from the sky into his lap. Of course, this was all thanks to Zhu Danyan. She was the one who had nurtured such a capable team through Mi Yiyao. Furthermore, it was only because Mi Yiyao knew that Zhang Bin was now Zhu Danyan's man that she had volunteered to be his manager and brought the entire team with her.
"So, how are you going to thank me?" Zhu Danyan asked, pouting coquettishly.
"Come on, let's go to the room..." Zhang Bin said with a wicked grin.
"You Big Bad Egg, I'm not going to your room," Zhu Danyan replied, her eyes full of seduction. "Just do one thing for me, and I'll consider that thanks enough."
"And what would that be?" Zhang Bin asked, surprised.
"Just be a bit nicer to my cousin. She's so good to you, you can't be cold to her, can you?" Zhu Danyan whispered reprovingly in his ear.
It seemed she was determined to set him up with Su Man. Why is she so insistent on this? Zhu Danyan's way of thinking is truly bizarre.
"When have I ever been cold to her? I've always cared about her a great deal. Hmm, you're right. I should give her a check-up right now." A wicked grin spread across Zhang Bin's face as his gaze shifted to Su Man.
