Chapter 1718: Meng Xianzi’s Frustration
After they talked extensively about the past, Ling Yun immediately engaged in dual cultivation, and they did so for several hours at a time.
Unlike Xuanyuan Xue’er, who was an ordinary woman, Xiao Xiao was a pure beast, half ice phoenix and half flame dragon, making her physique superior to her sister’s.
After Xiao Xiao fell asleep from exhaustion, Ling Yun covered her naked body with a blanket and left her room before going to Meng Xianzi’s room.
When he arrived at Meng Xianzi’s room, Ling Yun found her sitting naked in front of the mirror, lost in thought. Even though she didn’t say anything to him, he could feel her frustration, which was because of him.
Meng Xianzi came back to her senses as soon as Ling Yun hugged her from behind. "Are you feeling frustrated?"
"You noticed, huh?" Meng Xianzi replied with a self-mocking smile.
Ling Yun turned Meng Xianzi to face him. "How did I not notice your feelings? We’ve been married for so long, and I know your character well, so it wasn’t hard for me to realize that you were frustrated."
"You’re right, I am indeed frustrated." Meng Xianzi hugged Ling Yun, pressing her face to his chest. "Do you remember our first meeting? Back then, you unknowingly entered my dream realm, which no one else could ever do. At that time, your cultivation was still in the Foundation Realm, and I was a powerful cultivator of the upper realm. Honestly, I wanted to kill you at that time, but I discovered that you were unique, and you were also the sole successor of the Primordial Chaos Dragon. In the end, I couldn’t kill you, and I gave the dream space to you because I knew your future was limitless."
"Do you regret it?"
"Why should I regret it?" Meng Xianzi looked up at Ling Yun. "If I regretted it, I would never have become your wife, and I would never have experienced what it was like to be a mother."
"Do you feel inferior to me?"
"Yes! I feel weak and inferior to you!" Meng Xianzi nodded seriously. "Time flies so fast, and you had already reached this level. Although my cultivation is higher than yours, and I’ve also been training as long as you, our previous spar made me realize that the gap between us is constantly growing. I should be happy with your progress, but your insane progress makes me frustrated with myself."
Ling Yun squatted in front of Meng Xianzi, holding her hands. "Xianzi, your abilities haven’t declined, and you’re constantly getting stronger, so you don’t need to feel inferior to me."
"But—"
"I was able to become as strong as I am now thanks to you and Old Dragon, remember?" Meng Xianzi didn’t say anything to refute Ling Yun. "Unlike you, I am the heir of the Primordial Chaos Dragon, and I inherited many things from him that helped me reach this stage. If you didn’t give me your dream creation technique, I wouldn’t be able to train so fast, and my fighting ability would always be below yours. Besides, you managed to reach this level through your own hard work, so you should be proud of yourself."
"Husband, I—"
"Shhh." Ling Yun stopped Meng Xianzi. "In the past, you had no one to help you, and you had to rely on yourself to overcome all obstacles. I understand that you want to be independent, and you don’t want to rely on anyone. However, your life has changed now, and I am your husband, so I must be responsible for your safety. No matter how strong you are, I will always try hard to be stronger than you to ensure your safety."
Meng Xianzi sighed. "Husband, I’m an experienced cultivator, and I’m used to being independent. I know you want to protect me, but I don’t want to live like a bird in a cage forever, so I will try harder so that I won’t be a burden to you, and I will fight by your side."
"Why are you so stubborn?" Ling Yun rubbed Meng Xianzi’s cheek. "Did I ever say that you are a burden to me?"
Meng Xianzi shook her head. "You never said I was a burden to you, but I always felt like I was, and that feeling only grew stronger the stronger you became. I can’t continue living with this feeling, and I have to train much harder than before."
"What are your next plans?"
Meng Xianzi thought for a moment. "One of my clones is in my dream realm, but I’m thinking of sending it to the Void Realm to join the other nine, and I’ll enter seclusion in my dream realm."
"Alright," Ling Yun readily agreed. "If you really want to do that, I support your decision. However, I won’t leave you alone, and I will send one of my clones there to accompany you in seclusion."
Meng Xianzi wanted to refuse, but she knew Ling Yun wouldn’t listen to her, so she finally agreed. She stood up and pulled him to bed, where they began their dual cultivation.

Xuanyuan Yue cautiously entered her mother’s room, but she found Xuanyuan Xue’er sound asleep on her bed, and she could guess that she had previously dual-cultivated with her father.
Xuanyuan Yue stood on tiptoe and approached the bed, but she was stunned when she saw her mother, especially the numerous hickeys on Xuanyuan Xue’er’s neck. ’Was my father too fierce when they were dual cultivating? My mother’s neck is almost completely red from the bite marks.’
"Mhmm..." Xuanyuan Xue’er slowly opened her eyes, looking at her dazed daughter. "Why are you looking at me like that, Yue’er?"
Xuanyuan Yue climbed into bed and lay beside her mother. "Does my father treat you fiercely, Mother?"
Xuanyuan Xue’er blinked her eyes repeatedly. "Why do you ask that?"
"This." Xuanyuan Yue pointed to her mother’s neck. "Your neck is full of my father’s bite marks."
As soon as her daughter made that comment, Xuanyuan Xue’er felt embarrassed. "Your father is always like that, Yue’er. When you get married in the future, you’ll experience the same thing."
"Is that so?" Xuanyuan Yue smiled mischievously and lifted the blanket, but her mouth immediately formed a wide O because Xuanyuan Xue’er’s body was also covered in bite marks.
"What are you doing?" Xuanyuan Xue’er pulled the blanket and covered herself again.
"Haha," Xuanyuan Yue laughed. "My father is indeed too fierce! No wonder you and my other mothers are so crazy about him!"
"Stop talking nonsense!" Xuanyuan Xue’er embarrassedly chided.
"Humph," Xuanyuan Yue snorted softly, lying beside her mother and hugging her. "I’m happy because you have a happy life with my father, mother. Have you discussed with him about a second child?"
Xuanyuan Xue’er nodded. "I’ve discussed it with your father before, and he agreed to have a second child with me. However, it won’t happen anytime soon, and I’ll ask him to impregnate me two or three years before we depart for the abyss."
Xuanyuan Yue’s expression turned complicated after Xuanyuan Xue’er mentioned the abyss. "Mother, are you really going to follow my father into the abyss? How—"
"Yue’er, your other mothers and I have already decided on this matter, and we will follow your father into the abyss." Xuanyuan Xue’er hugged her daughter. "I know you’re worried about us, but he is our husband, and we can’t let him fight by himself. Moreover, that day is still far in the future, and you will already be a grown woman when that day comes."
"I know that, but I always feel heavy thinking about it." Xuanyuan Yue buried her face into her mother’s bosom. "If you two go to the abyss and cannot return to my side, I will be miserable. That’s why I don’t want you to follow my father into the abyss, and I want you to stay here with me and my future sibling."
Xuanyuan Xue’er sighed. "Yue’er, you have to remember that a wife should follow wherever our husband goes, even if that place is extremely dangerous. Your father is indeed powerful, but he can’t possibly fight all the ancient cultivators in the abyss by himself, and he will be completely exhausted before he even reaches Chaos’s place. I am one of his wives, and it is my duty to accompany him."
"But—"
"Let’s stop talking about this matter because I will never change my decision." Xuanyuan Xue’er raised her daughter’s head. "What about you? Have you found a man who catches your eye in your sect?"
"Tch!" Xuanyuan Yue gritted her teeth. "Those men are assholes, and I hate them!"
"Why?"
Xuanyuan Yue put on an angry face. "Many men approached me and my sisters, but most of them were too arrogant and rude. Two men tried to approach me, but I didn’t like them. They tried to force me to accept them using their clans’ status, so I asked Big Sis Chenying to teach them a lesson."
"Did Huli Chenying destroy both their clans?" Xuanyuan Yue asked with a frown.
"No." Xuanyuan Yue shook her head. "Those two men are from other domains, so I didn’t ask Big Sis Chenying to go there. Mother, please don’t mention this matter to my father; otherwise, he will destroy both of their clans."
"Haha," Xuanyuan Xue’er laughed softly. "Do you really think your father would do that?"
"Yes!" Xuanyuan Yue nodded seriously. "My father has destroyed several clans before, so I don’t want both of their clans to be destroyed because of me."
Xuanyuan Xue’er patted her daughter’s head. "Your father is not an unreasonable man, you know? As long as those two men don’t do anything excessive, he won’t do anything to them. However, he won’t hesitate to destroy them if they dare to do anything excessive to you."
"I know."
