The Seven Sisters and Their Hidden King-Chapter 363: Queenie’s Concerns
Chapter 363 - 363: Queenie’s Concerns
John breathed a sigh of relief as he finally managed to pacify his sisters.
Many people envied him for having seven beautiful and charming sisters, but what they didn't understand was how John truly felt.
In his heart, he was not just grateful—he was incredibly happy!
The feeling of being surrounded by the love of seven sisters was incomparable. Especially Queenie, his eldest sister, who was very strict with him. He knew that it wasn't out of malice—her strictness came from the fact that she cared deeply for him. If it had been anyone else, she wouldn't have wasted her time on them. Instead, she would've given them the cold shoulder, ignoring them completely.
So every time John felt his ear being pulled by Queenie—though it hurt and he would complain about her fierceness—deep down, he couldn't deny how wonderful it felt. He was loved, truly loved, by them all.
But then something strange crossed his mind.
What had happened when he sank to the bottom of the sea with the island? And why was his clothing in such a strange state now?
As the worry in the air evaporated, Kate, as inquisitive as ever, shook his arm, bombarding him with questions to satisfy her curiosity.
John could only answer them one by one, recounting his experiences in the underwater world.
The truth was, his sisters had already learned about his identity as the King of Horizon and his cultivation status, so he could tell them most of what had transpired with full confidence. However, to avoid worrying them too much, John held back some details. He only told them about the treasure and two sword spirits he had obtained from the underwater array.
"Treasure?"
Angela's eyes instantly lit up when she heard the word 'treasure'. She couldn't help herself. "I want to see it!"
Queenie immediately shot her a cold look. "No, no. Since it's a top-tier treasure, how can you just take it out like that? What if it causes unnecessary attention or jealousy?"
John's treasure was a powerful item, one that only a select few knew about. The last thing they needed was for someone, especially someone unaware of John's true identity, to target him because of it. It would lead to unnecessary trouble.
John smiled lightly and reassured, "It's alright. The treasure isn't too big, and I can control it now. Besides, if my wife wants to see it, I'll show her."
Queenie shot him a warning glare, but John didn't care. He stretched out his hand, and after a moment, a diamond-shaped mirror appeared in his palm. It was the Lucky Mirror.
"Is this the treasure you got?"
The sisters, who had gathered around curiously, all leaned in to get a better look. Queenie pretended she wasn't interested, but even she couldn't help but glance at the shining object in his hand.
John nodded. "Yes. This treasure is remarkable. It can absorb extremely powerful attacks—essentially acting as a shield. It's similar to a medallion that prevents death. There are also two sword spirits stored inside it, but I won't show those just yet."

The two sword spirits were life-saving skills. John wasn't about to waste them on a demonstration in front of his sisters. Besides, if he showed one of them here, it might scare everyone.
Kate leaned in closer, tapping her delicate finger on the small mirror's surface. "What are these black circles on it?"
John noticed the four small black circles at the four corners of the mirror. He explained, "They're probably some sort of energy tanks. I need to light up all four to make the mirror's absorbing function work again."
When John first obtained the mirror, all four circles had been glowing. But after he absorbed an attack with it, the circles had dimmed.
It was clear that these circles were essential for the mirror's ability to absorb attacks. If they remained unlit, the treasure would lose its protective power.
Angela's eyes sparkled. "That's amazing. I think it's much more powerful than my Spirit Calling Bell."
John, jokingly, added, "How about I gift it to you?"
Angela waved her hands in a light-hearted refusal. "No, no! John, you should keep it. It's yours—it has its own spirit."
Indeed, Angela had a point. When John first attacked the stone platform, it was the Lucky Mirror testing him, accepting him as its master once he passed its trial.
Though his sisters were fascinated by the treasure, Queenie's gaze lingered on it with a complex expression. She seemed lost in thought, as if something deeper was bothering her.
From the way John acted, it was clear that he was no ordinary person. His future was destined to be extraordinary. Queenie couldn't help but wonder if she and the other sisters would be able to keep up with him as he advanced.
John was like a dragon diving into the vast ocean. His future belonged to the endless sea of possibilities, but Queenie and the others were still confined to the shallow pool. Could they really hold him back from reaching his full potential?
Even though John never voiced his concerns and never complained about his situation, Queenie felt a growing sense of guilt. It was like a couple where the boy aced the college entrance exams and had no trouble entering a prestigious university, but he chose to stay behind in their small town to be with his girlfriend.
Queenie didn't want that for John. She didn't want him to be shackled by the small world they were in.
Since becoming a cultivator, Queenie had realized just how vast and unfathomable the world of cultivation truly was. If she stayed where she was, she would eventually feel constrained.
John was a genius—someone who was destined to go far. And Queenie wasn't sure if she could keep up with him, even though she was determined to try.
She swore to herself that she would work harder, train harder, and cultivate more diligently. But before she could reflect any further, Kate's voice interrupted her thoughts.
"John, we've seen the treasure. But what about those strange clothes you're wearing?"
