Chapter 1772: Being A Father Is Hard III
(A/N: I’ve edited the previous Chapter; you can refresh it to read the correct one.)
Tang Wuxian was nervous when he faced Huo Jun and Chen Qing. Moreover, the two seniors kept looking at him as Ling Yu’er explained to them about his relationship with Huo Ziqi and Huo Rui.
Huo Ziqi and Huo Rui smiled amusedly seeing Tang Wuxian’s expression; they held his hands from both sides to calm him down.
’You don’t need to be so tense.’
’Our father and mother will not do anything to you.’
’They’re probably shocked because we chose you over your father.’
’I know.’ Tang Wuxian nodded to them, but he still couldn’t calm down facing his future parents-in-law.
Huo Yun and Yan Zilan, who were sitting in front of them, also looked at Tang Wuxian with strange looks. Back then, they thought that their twin sisters would become Ling Yun’s wives, but their relationship never happened; instead, the twins fell in love with his son.
Just like them, Huo Ye also didn’t expect her twin sister to fall in love with one of Ling Yun’s sons. She clearly remembered that Ling Yun had tried to approach her twin sisters in the past, and the twins had also responded to him at the time, but their relationship never materialized.
Huo Ye herself once had feelings for Ling Yun, but she decided to give up because he had too many wives, and he didn’t actively approach her at that time.
Chen Qing looked at her twin daughters. "Rui and Ziqi, do you two want to marry Little Wuxian?"
"Yes, Mother," Huo Rui and Huo Ziqi answered in unison.
"In the past, we had feelings for Ling Yun, but we realized that we weren’t truly in love with him."
"Tang Wuxian is younger than us, but we fell in love with him. Furthermore, our age difference isn’t that big, so we don’t have a problem with that."
Chen Qing nodded in understanding. "Since you both love Little Wuxian, and Ling Yun has also helped us so much, your father and I have no problem with your relationship."
"Yue’er, you are Ling Yun’s wife; you can represent us to talk to him about choosing their wedding date." Huo Jun decided after thinking it over carefully.
Ling Yu’er nodded in understanding. "I’ll talk to my husband after I get back, and we’ll probably get them married soon."
’Phew!’ Tang Wuxian’s tension finally disappeared after they said that. "Uncle and Aunt, please rest assured, I will never let Rui and Ziqi down."
"If you weren’t Ling Yun’s son, I wouldn’t believe your words." Tang Wuxian sheepishly rubbed his nose after Chen Qing said that. "Even though your father has many wives, I can see that he loves them deeply, and he will do anything to protect them. You are his son, so I believe you will not disappoint my daughters. Since they have chosen you as their husband, they will live with you in the fortress from now on."
"Yes, Mother." Huo Rui and Huo Ziqi quickly ran away to pack up their personal belongings.
Chen Qing could only shake her head as her twin daughters were eager to live with Tang Wuxian. She turned to Huo Ye. "When are you getting married, Ye’er? Your brother and little sisters are already married, but you still don’t have a lover to this day."
"Is having a husband that important?" Huo Ye shrugged her shoulders. "If you want to have another grandchild, you can ask my brother and little sisters. As for me, I’m not in a hurry to get married, and I probably won’t get married all my life."
Chen Qing and Huo Jun felt a headache thinking about their first daughter. In the past, they knew that Huo Ye had feelings for Ling Yun, but she chose to bury her feelings because he had too many wives.
Yan Zilan looked at her sister-in-law. "Have your feelings for Ling Yun really disappeared, Sister?"
"Do you think Aunt Ye’s feelings for my husband have really disappeared, Aunt Zhilan?" Yan Zilan and the others looked at Ling Yu’er, including Huo Ye. "Aunt Ye, you know Sister Xi’s ability to read other people’s thoughts and feelings, right? You can tell others that your feelings for him have disappeared, but you will never be able to lie to her, and she knows that you still have feelings for our husband."
Yan Zilan and the others remembered Ling Xi’s abilities, and no one could prevent her from reading their minds and hearts. They looked at Huo Ye seriously, waiting for her answer about her feelings for Ling Yun.
Huo Ye sighed. "I still have feelings for Ling Yun, but I don’t want to share him with dozens of women, so I choose to bury my feelings in my heart."
"Why do you insist on that?" Ling Yu’er asked with a shake of her head. "You’ve lived with us for so long, and you know for sure that we’re happy with him. He may have had many wives, but he never showed favoritism toward us, and he always treated us fairly and equally."
"I know Ling Yun treats all of you fairly and equally, but I still don’t want to be his wife." Huo Ye stood up and walked away. "Rather than having to share a husband with dozens of women, I’d rather live in solitude."
"Stubborn," Chen Qing looked at her husband. "Our daughter is just as stubborn as you! She chose to sacrifice her happiness rather than pursue it."
Huo Jun smiled helplessly. "I want our daughter to be happy, but I can’t force her to accept something she doesn’t want, right?"
"Humph!" Chen Qing spoke to her granddaughter again. "Yu’er, Wen Qing is Ye’er’s best friend, so you should ask her to persuade your aunt. If that still doesn’t work, you can ask Senior Ling Xi to use force."
"Sister Qing has repeatedly tried to talk to her, but my aunt never listens to her." Ling Yun said helplessly. "As for Sister Xi, my husband has forbidden her from using force against my aunt, so she won’t do that."
"What about Ling Yun himself? Does he no longer want your aunt?"
"My husband should still have feelings for my aunt, but he also respects her feelings. Since my aunt isn’t willing to have a polygamous relationship, he won’t force her to accept it." Ling Yu’er paused and looked outside. "If one day my aunt is willing to accept our relationship with him, he won’t reject her."
Chen Qing and Huo Jin let out heavy sighs. They weren’t thinking about Huo Ye’s granddaughter, but they were worried that their first daughter would live a lonely life for the rest of her life.
After discussing some other matters, Ling Yu’er left the Huo Clan and returned to the Yunlong Zhuzhai. Tang Wuxian also returned there after Huo Rui and Huo Ziqi finished packing, and he took the twins to the fortress.

Meanwhile, Ling Yun lay on the floor with his head on Zhong Chenyu’s lap, and Yue Tu lay on his chest in her fox form. "Has our son ever told you about his feelings, wife?"
"Yes," Zong Chenyu nodded. "Actually, our son once had an interest in Lei Qianyu, but she rejected hin because she liked another man."
"Lei Qianyu, huh?" Ling Yun muttered to himself because that woman was Lei Qiuling’s big sister, and he knew the person she liked, so he knew that his son had no chance with her. "Is he interested in other women?"
"Dongfang Keqing."
"Oh?"
"Unfortunately, Dongfang Keqing was also not interested in our son, and she fell in love with Qiao Yunxiao."
Ling Yun remembered Dongfang Keqing, but he did not expect that Yun Changsheng would fall in love with her. "Who else?"
"I don’t know."
Ling Yun sighed. "Being a father is really hard."
"Why are you in such a hurry to marry off your children, husband?" Yue Tu asked.
Ling Yun stroked the female rabbit. "They’re all grown up, so I think it’s time for them to get married, Tu’er."
"Do you think we don’t know what you’re thinking, husband? You want them to get married as soon as possible because you want to see your descendants, right?" Ling Yun lifted Yue Tu’s tiny body. "You’re afraid that you won’t be able to return to us, so you want to have descendants as soon as possible."
Ling Yun nodded at her. "You are right about that, Tu’er. My upcoming battle with Chaos is always weighing on me, and I fear that I will fail to defeat him. If I fail to defeat him, this universe will be destroyed, so I want my children to find their happiness before that happens."
"What are your chances of defeating Chaos?"
Ling Yun shook his head at Zhong Chenyu. "For now, my chances of defeating Chaos shouldn’t be more than 10 percent, but that will increase once I become the next Primordial Chaos Dragon in the future. Even so, I still have no confidence in defeating him unless I find something else to aid me in our future battles."
"Something else?"
"Yes," Ling Yun nodded. "The Undying Indestructible Body is one option, but the best option is the Celestial Chaos Body. Unfortunately, I don’t have any information about the first physique, and the second physique is in the hands of Chaos."
"The Celestial Chaos Body is the best, and it will be useful in helping you defeat Chaos."
"That’s for sure." Ling Yun released a soft sigh. "In the past, the Old Dragon repeatedly tried to obtain the Celestial Chaos Body, but Chaos was never willing to give it to him."
Yue Tu looked at him. "Although Chaos is unwilling to hand over the Celestial Chaos Body to Senior Long Hun, he might hand it over to you in the future, Husband. If that physique merges with your body, you can defeat Chaos, right?"
"I should be able to beat him if I had that physique."
