Chapter 1834: Seclusion II
Ever since Ling Yun rejected Yun Jingqiu’s confession, Yun Shengxia has been affected too, and her personality has shifted somewhat.
In Yun Shengxia’s eyes, no man was worthy of being her husband than Ling Yun, but he was unwilling to accept her. She wanted to confess her feelings to him but didn’t wish to face rejection like her sister, so she chose to bury everything deep within her heart.
Since she didn’t get close to other men, and Cai Hong was always faithfully by her side, Yun Shengxia’s feelings gradually shifted towards her. Several months ago, they started having a romantic relationship, and they also had intimate moments between women.
Even so, Yun Shengxia did not truly fall in love with Cai Hong, and her feelings for Ling Yun did not change in the slightest.
Cai Hong was aware of Yun Shengxia’s feelings but paid them no mind; she wanted to spend the rest of her life with her master. After all, Ling Yun harbored no prejudice against lesbians, and he actually had a fondness for lily couples.
Some of the women by Ling Yun’s side had been in same-sex relationships with each other in the past, but they never satisfied each other again after becoming his women, and they made out with each other when he was present in their midst.

Meanwhile, Yun Jingqiu focused on her activities in her room, and her soul spent time together with Feng Jingqiu in her soul sea.
Yun Jingqiu obtained the Yin-Yang Soul Refining Art from Ling Yun, but she felt it was lacking, and she wanted to create her own soul technique.
Apart from focusing on her cultivation and creating her soul technique, Yun Jingqiu also did intimate things with Feng Jingqiu. Although they were two different souls, they were essentially the same person because they shared one body, and they had the same feelings for Ling Yun.
Unfortunately, Ling Yun treated Feng Jingqiu differently than Yun Jingqiu, especially after she gave his daughter a bad influence. Even so, he never hated her, as she was the other soul of his daughter, but he could not treat her as his daughter’s equal.
Ling Yun’s attitude naturally disappointed Feng Jingqiu, but Yun Jingqiu asked her other soul to be patient, and she urged her to show him she wasn’t the person he imagined her to be.
Feng Jingqiu could only agree with Yun Jingqiu, and she hoped to prove to Ling Yun that she was worthy of being his daughter.

Ever since she mastered the Celestial Yin-Yang Body Clone and managed to create three clones, Xuanyuan Yue focused on her future dream of creating an artifact that could traverse the universe, and her three clones helped her cultivate.
Since Xiao Yin was created by Tang Xiao and came from another universe, Xuanyuan Yue spent most of her time in the fortress’s main control room with her, and the female AI helped her do research to traverse different universes.
Xuanyuan Yue had already listened to and recorded all of Tang Xiao’s legacy in her memories, so she knew there were four other universes besides hers.
The first universe, or main universe, is where Tang Xiao lives, and he is the ruler of that universe.
The second universe is where Xia Tian resides, and he holds the title of Immortal God.
The third universe is where Chen Li lives, and he is the Golden Dragon Spirit Emperor, who leads the spirit and beast races.
The fourth universe is more special than the other three, and the ruler of that universe is a giant ten-tailed black fox demon named Zhang Fei.
Compared to the other three universes, Xuanyuan Yue was more interested in the fourth universe, mainly because of the identity of its ruler.
"Are you interested in the fourth universe, young miss?"
"Yes." Xuanyuan Yue nodded to Xiao Yin. "Tang Xiao is a celestial race and a war god, Xia Tian is a golden dragon, and Chen Li is a golden dragon spirit emperor. On the other hand, Zhang Fei is different from them, and he is a ten-tailed black fox demon. That’s why I’m more curious about the fourth universe, and I want to know the reason the residents of that universe recognize a demon beast as their ruler."
Xiao Yin nodded in understanding. "I don’t have detailed information about the four universes, but I have to admit that Zhang Fei is indeed different from my father or the other three."
"Hahaha," Xuanyuan Yue laughed softly and looked at her. "Do you know what makes me curious about the first universe, Xiao Yin?"
Xiao Yin shook her head. "Please tell me, young miss."
"You."
"Me?"
"Yes." Xuanyuan Yue nodded. "To be precise, I am curious about the real you, Xiao Yin. Tang Xiao said that he created you according to his daughter with his first wife, Tang Yin. Therefore, I want to go to their universe, and I want to meet their real daughter."
Xiao Yin smiled at that. "Actually, we don’t have any differences in appearance, and we truly look like twins. However, our characters are quite different, and she is more similar to our mother."
"Oh? What is Tang Yin’s character like?"
"My mother is a loving woman, and she is completely loyal to my father. Even though she never said anything, my father’s other wives always considered her the head of his harem." Xuanyuan Yue’s expression turned curious after hearing that, and Xiao Yin displayed Tang Yin’s image on the screen. "She is my mother, and she is a demon."
"A demon?" Xuanyuan Yue narrowed her eyes, looking at Tang Yin’s image on the screen.
Xiao Yin nodded. "My mother was originally a human, but she gradually became a demon due to her Calamity of Darkness Technique, and she became a full-fledged demon after she inherited an ancient demon bloodline."
"An ancient demon?"
"In their universe, there are no primordials, mythical beasts, or the like." Xiao Yin changed the image on the screen and displayed many other images there. "Ancient demons were supreme in their universe, and my mother inherited the demon bloodline from one of them."
"From what ancient demon did Tang Yin get her demon bloodline?"
"An Ancient Calamity Demon, who is also the owner of the Calamity of Darkness Technique." Xuanyuan Yue turned to Xiao Yin. "That demon was the strongest in their universe, and my mother inherited many things from him after my father defeated him."
"I see." Xuanyuan Yue nodded slightly. "Does that mean their children are demons?"
"No." Xiao Yin shook her head. "They have a pair of children, but neither of them is a demon. Their son inherited my father’s war god bloodline, and their daughter inherited his celestial bloodline."
"How many children does your father have?" Xuanyuan Yueyao asked curiously.
"Hehe," Xiao Yin giggled. "The number of his children is less than your father’s, young miss."
"Oh?"
Xiao Yin changed the image on the screen again, displaying photos of several women. "See? My father has far fewer wives than your father’s, so it’s no surprise that he has so few children."
"Hmm?" Xuanyuan Yue was amazed when she saw the images of several women on the monitor. "Sigh! I’ll go to your father’s universe someday, and I’ll meet them in person, especially the real Xiao Yin."
"Her real name is Tang Xiaoyin, and my father gave me the name Xiao Yin."
"Tang Xiaoyin is a combination of Tang Xiao and Tang Yin."
"Tang Xiaoyin is their first child, and she is the oldest among all my father’s children."
Xuanyuan Yue nodded in understanding and sighed softly. "Let’s continue with our work, Xiao Yin. I’ll think about them again once we’ve successfully created the flying artifact I want, so we need to work hard on it."
"Yes, young miss."

Unlike Yun Shengxia and Yun Jingqiu, Meng Ke’er harbored no romantic feelings for Ling Yun, nor was she interested in other men.
For Meng Ke’er, romantic affairs were pointless, and she was more interested in following her mother’s path to becoming a renowned assassin, so she strove hard to achieve her dreams.
Since her mother had entered seclusion with her father, and they wouldn’t be finished anytime soon, Meng Ke’er decided to meet Han Huangyun and Jiang Meizhi.
Han Huangyun and Jiang Meizhi were Meng Xianzhi’s seniors in the assassination path, and they were famous assassins in the Supreme Realm, so Meng Ke’er was eager to learn from them.

Like Meng Ke’er, Lian Ziyue couldn’t care less about romance; she only wanted to achieve her dream of becoming the strongest ice cultivator.
Since there were no ice areas in the Forgotten Starfall Domain, Lian Ziyue chose to spend her time in the Frostmoon Domain with Yue Mengyi and Feng Huang. Moreover, Lian Bing had entered seclusion with her father, so she decided to cultivate under the guidance of her two seniors, and she also trained by fighting the ice beasts that resided in the domain.
As her contracted beasts, Xuan Luan and Shou Jiao accompanied Lian Ziyue as she trained in the domain, but they watched her from a distance because their presence terrified the other beasts.

As for Ling Yun’s unmarried daughters, Feng Bingyun and Feng Xueyan, they cultivated and trained at the Yunlong Zhuzhai alongside the other female beasts. They had no interest in romantic affairs whatsoever, and they were entirely focused on improving themselves.
After all, Ling Yun, their two mothers, and the other women would enter the abyss in the future, where they would fight with many ancient cultivators trapped inside.
Feng Bingyun and Feng Xueyan feared they would never return from that place, so they had to work hard to improve themselves for their own future.
