Chapter 1773: Being A Father Is Hard III
"Husband."
"Hmm?" Ling Yun looked at Yue Tu, who had transformed into her human form.
"If Ling Tianyun marries Tian Sha, doesn’t that mean he will become your uncle?"
Ling Yun nodded to her. "Not only Ling Tianyun, but also Tang Wuxian, who will marry Huo Rui and Huo Ziqi because both women are Ling Yu’er’s aunts."
"Hehe," Zhong Chenyu laughed. "The relationship in our family is becoming increasingly messy, husband. They are your sons, but they will marry your wives’ aunts."
"The mess in our family’s relationships has started since I took Yi Mingxia as my wife, right?" Ling Yun shrugged nonchalantly. "After that, I also took Yi Mingzhu, Ling Yin, Ling Ling, and Song Mei as my wives. Since everything was a mess because of my selfishness, I didn’t think much about my sons’ relationship with my wives’ aunts."
"Haha," Zhong Chenyu and Yue Tu laughed at their husband’s blunt answer.
Yue Tu lay on top of Ling Yun, twirling her index finger on his chest. "Husband, if we have a child in the future, will our child be born as a moon rabbit like me?"
"Hehe," Ling Yun pinched her cheeks. "Why are you asking the obvious, Tu’er? You should be happy if our children are born as moon rabbits, right?"
Yue Tu nodded with sparkling eyes. "Four of your daughters are phoenixes, and one of your sons is a royal demon cat, so I want my child to be born as a moon fox. However, our child—"
"Hmm? Why are you hesitating?" Ling Yun and Zhong Chenyu noticed her expression.
"No." Yue Tu shook her head. "A moon fox is different from other beasts, husband."
"What’s the difference?"
"Even if a moon fox can transform into her human form, she will return to her beast form when she becomes pregnant, so—"
"You mean our child will be born as a beast, right?"
"Yes," Yue Tu nodded. "Since I can’t use my human form when I’m pregnant, my child will be born in his or her beast form. That’s why I’m hesitant to have a child, even though I want to give birth to yours."
Ling Yun gently flicked her forehead. "Why should you hesitate to get pregnant? Even if our child is born as a moon rabbit, he or she will transform into his or her human form in the future."
"Do you really have no problem with that?"
"Why should I?" Ling Yun shook his head. "Whether our child is born as a moon rabbit or a human, I’m not concerned about that, and I will love him or her like I love my other children. Furthermore, the flow of time in our residence is ten times faster than outside, and our child will grow much faster than other children, so we just need to wait for our child to grow up."
Yue Tu kissed him before lying on his chest. "Thank you, husband."
"Silly rabbit!" Ling Yun caressed the back of her head. "We’re an old couple, so there’s no need for any thanks between us."
"Father! Mother!"
Ling Yun, Zhong Chenyu, and Yue Tu looked at Yun Changsheng, who was running towards them. However, they were a little surprised to see the young woman beside him.
Ling Yun looked up at Zhong Chenyu. "Since when did our son have a relationship with Dang Qing? Didn’t she fall in love with your nephew, Zhong Cunhai?"
"Our son has never told me about their relationship, so they probably became lovers not long ago." Zhong Chenyu replied while looking at her son and Dan Qing.
"Father! Mother!" Yun Changsheng stood in front of them, with Dan Qing by his side. "I wanted to inform you two that Big Sister Qing agreed to marry me."
Dan Qing lowered her face, feeling embarrassed to face Ling Yun and Zhong Chenyu. After all, they both knew about her past relationship with Zhong Chunhai, especially the latter, who was also his aunt.
Ling Yun moved Yue Tu to the side and sat down. "Dan Qing, I want to ask you something, and I hope you’ll give me an honest answer."
"Father—"
"Please be quiet, son." Yun Changsheng opened his mouth to say something, but he swallowed his words and obeyed his mother’s orders.
Dan Qing inwardly sighed and looked at Ling Yun. "Do you want to ask about my relationship with Zhong Cunhai?"
"Yes," Ling Yun nodded. "Have you forgotten your relationship with him? You know I have many wives, but I don’t like it when they have other men in their hearts. Since Yun Changsheng is my son, I don’t want him to be in a relationship with a woman who has feelings for another man. Whoever the woman will marry him, she must love him alone."
Dan Qing nodded in understanding. "You’re right that I loved Zhong Cunhai in the past, but my feelings for him have long since disappeared. You left him in the Sky Cloud Realm, and I lived in your residence for over three decades. Besides, he never loved me, and I knew you would never bring him here. Thus, I chose to forget about him, and my feelings for him have long since faded away."
"Hmm?"
Just as Ling Yun thought that, Ling Xi appeared in front of them, and she instantly read Dan Qing’s heart and mind. "Husband, she didn’t lie to you; her feelings for Zhong Cunhai long since disappeared, and she’s fallen in love with your son."
"I see." Ling Yun nodded in understanding. "Do you really love my son?"
"I do." Dan Qing held Yun Changsheng’s hand. "He is indeed much younger than me, but I like his character and nature, so I accepted him when he confessed to me."
"She’s telling the truth, husband."
Ling Yun turned to Zhong Chenyu, who nodded to him. "Since you love my son, I will approve of the relationship between the two of you."
"Haha," Yun Changsheng laughed excitedly. "See? I’m right, Big Sister Qing?"
Dan Qing nodded with a smile. "My previous fears were unfounded."
"So, do you two want to get married soon?"
"Eh?" Yun Changsheng and Dan Qing looked at Ling Yun in a daze. "Are you planning to marry us soon, Father?"
"If you two love each other, there shouldn’t be a problem getting married early, right?" Yun Changsheng and Dan Qing exchanged glances and thought about it. "You see? Your other brothers have found their future wives, and they will get married soon, except Ying Jianshen."
"Huh?" Yun Changsheng was dumbfounded. "Have Big Brother Ling Tianyun and the others really found their future wives?"
"Yes," Ling Yun nodded. "Di Tiandi and Zhao Zhanfeng will marry Feng Xingyun and Liu Shiyuan. Ling Tianyun will marry Tian Sha and Dongfang Wenyue. Yi Tianming will marry Zhiyu Xiaoqing. Tang Wuxian will marry Huo Rui and Huo Ziqi."
Yun Changsheng knew about Di Tiandi and Zhao Zhanfeng’s feelings for Feng Xingyun and Liu Shiyuan, but he didn’t know about the relationship between his other brothers, and the news was quite surprising to him. "What about Brother Ying Jianshen, Father?"
"Ying Jianshen and Feng Qingmeng’s relationship is still complicated, so they won’t be getting married anytime soon."
"Huh? Does that mean Senior Qingmeng is already willing to give Brother Jianshen a chance to approach her?"
Ling Yun pointed towards the eastern garden. "They live together in the fortress now, but their relationship still needs a long time to become real. So, what about you two? Do you guys want to get married as soon as possible?"
"Er?" Yun Changsheng looked at Dan Qing. "What do you think about that, Big Sister Qing?"
Dan Qing looked at him and decided without hesitation. "Since you love me, and I love you, we can get married any time."
"Haha," Yun Changsheng rubbed his nose.
Ling Yun nodded in satisfaction with Dan Qing’s answer. "In that case, you two should start preparing from now on, and I will arrange the schedule for you and your brothers’ wedding."
"Yes, Father!"
Dan Qing looked at Ling Yun. "I—"
"No need." Ling Yun waved his hand. "Forget the past and focus on the future, and I hope you will always be loyal to my son."
"I will." Dan Qing nodded seriously. "I have chosen Yun Changsheng as my husband, and he will be the only man in my life."
Ling Yun nodded slightly. "Alright, you two can go now."
"Father! Mother! Thank you for your blessing!" Yun Changsheng pulled Dan Qing away with him. "Let’s go, Big Sis Qing!"
Ling Yun shook his head at his son’s excitement. "I never thought our son would choose her, Wife."
"Me too." Zhong Chenyu nodded in agreement. "Back then, Dan Qing was crazy about my nephew, even though he didn’t love her. Although my nephew decided to accept her, I know that he accepted her out of disappointment after Tian Yueling chose you."
"Heh!" Ling Yun snorted softly. "He was really stupid because he thought he could snatch Tian Yueling from me."
"Haha," Zhong Chenyu softly laughed. "His parents had warned him to forget about Tian Yueling, but he wasn’t willing to listen to them. If he had thought about snatching someone else’s lover, he might have succeeded in doing so, but he was too conceited with the thought of snatching your woman."
Ling Yun shrugged. "There are so many women out there, but he chose to pursue my woman. Luckily, he didn’t do anything crazy, or I would have killed him."
"When will you go into seclusion again, husband?"
Ling Yun looked up at Ling Xi. "We will enter into seclusion after all my children’s weddings, and we won’t come out until my cultivation breaks through to the Supreme God Realm."
"I see." Ling Xi nodded in understanding. "I’ll talk to your other wives."
"Husband." Ling Yun looked at Yue Tu. "How about my master and I serve you now?"
"Alright."
