Chapter 1719: Ling Yun’s Daughters
"Mom!"
Yi Mingxia, who was cooking in the kitchen with Song Mei, Hua Ning, and Yang Xiaoyi, turned to her daughter, Yun Shengxia. "Did you just arrive, Xia’er?"
"Hehe," Yun Shengxia hugged the three women. "I just arrived, but I couldn’t find you in your room, so I came looking for you. Are you guys cooking for my sister-in-law’s pregnancy banquet?"
"Yes," Yi Mingxia spooned one of the dishes. "Taste it."
Yun Shengxia devoured it without hesitation. "Tasty! My mother always cooks delicious food! In the sect, I could only eat what was available, and most of them tended to be bland."
"Hehe," Yi Mingxia chuckled. "Are Yun Jingqiu, Meng Ke’er, Xuanyuan Yue, Nu Huang, Yun Qingfeng, and Yun Longhun also returning with you?"
Yun Shengxia nodded. "Sister Yue went to see Mother Xue’er, Sister Ke’er went to see Mother Xianzi, Sister Jingqiu went to her room to prepare something, and Brother Huang went to the fortress with his two wives. As for Brother Qingfeng and Brother Longhun, they went into the forest to train, but they will be back in time for the banquet."
Song Mei and Yang Xiaoyi could only shake their heads because their two sons were similar to Ling Yun, and they almost never stopped working hard to improve their abilities.
"Are there any men trying to get close to you and your sisters in the sect, Xia’er?"
Yun Shengxia stiffened after Song Mei asked that. "Senior Brother Xuantian Huang expressed his feelings for me several times, but I was never interested in him, so I always rejected him."
"Tell us about Xuantian Huang, Xia’er."
Yun Shengxia shook her head at Hua Ning. "Mother Ning, there is nothing special about him other than his status as the young master of the Xuantian Clan."
"Then—"
"No!" Yun Shengxia interrupted Yang Xiaoyi directly. "Mother Xiaoyi, if those men want to approach me, they have to rely on their own abilities. If they can only rely on their clans, then they are useless men, and they don’t deserve me. Besides, they must surpass my father; otherwise, they should forget about their wishes if they can’t do that."
Yi Mingxia and the others were stunned after hearing Yun Shengxia’s last sentence. Surpass Ling Yun? Is there anyone out there who can do that? His cultivation is still below the Three Immortal Realms, but he managed to defeat cultivators at that level, and he even managed to defeat Xie Zuzhou’s avatar twice.
"Humph." Yun Shengxia snorted softly. "If they can’t surpass my father, then they don’t deserve to be my husband, and I will live alone for the rest of my life."
Yi Mingxia looked at Yun Shengxia with complicated feelings. As her mother, she fully understood her daughter’s feelings, and she had long been in love with her father. However, the status within their family was already very messy, and Ling Yun had once promised her that he would never take his daughters as his wives.
Yi Mingxia inwardly sighed. "Xia’er, you—"
"Enough, Mom!" Yun Shengxia raised her voice slightly. "You already know my feelings, and my feelings will never change forever, so you should stop forcing me to try to have relationships with other men. In this universe, there are so many female cultivators who choose to live in solitude, and they live happily even though they don’t have husbands or children. In my life, I only love my father, and I will never love another man. If he insists on not wanting to accept my feelings, I will live in solitude like those female cultivators."
After she said that, Yun Shengxia immediately ran out of the kitchen, leaving the speechless Yi Mingxia and the others behind.
"What should I do, Mom?" Yi Mingxia asked Song Mei.
Song Mei could only shake her head because she herself had no solution for Yun Shengxia’s feelings for Ling Yun.
Just like Yi Mingxia, Hua Ning was anxious about her daughter; she had long been aware of Yun Jingqiu’s feelings for her father. She found it difficult to change her daughter’s feelings for Ling Yun because she was born without spiritual veins, and he doted on her so much when she couldn’t cultivate like her siblings.
Yang Xiaoyi smiled bitterly at Yi Mingxia and Huang Xiaoyi’s expressions. "That’s why I never wanted to have a daughter with our husband, Sisters. From the start, I knew this kind of situation would arise in our family, so I preferred having a son; otherwise, I would have gone crazy thinking about it."
"You’re right." Song Mei nodded in agreement. "When I was pregnant, I was also worried about this kind of situation after my child was born, but I felt relieved after I found out that I was pregnant with a son."
Yi Mingxia shook her head and went back to cooking. ’I can’t let my daughter choose a solitary life, so I have to talk to Yun’er later, and I hope he can persuade her.’
’Sigh! Qiu’er, I hope you won’t follow in Xia’er’s footsteps, and I hope she will find the right man for her in the future,’ Hua Ning inwardly muttered before continuing to cook.

When Meng Ke’er arrived in front of her mother’s room, she froze in front of the door, listening to Meng Xianzi moaning loudly while begging Ling Yun to stop. ’I knew my father was too strong in bed because he was the next Primordial Chaos Dragon, but I never knew my mother was this weak when she was with my father.’
Just as Meng Ke’er was about to turn around to leave, Meng Xianzi’s moans had already stopped, and she could only hear her mother’s heavy breathing.
Meng Ke’er was thinking about whether to stay or go, but the bedroom door was opened from the inside, and Ling Yun walked out fully dressed. She immediately hugged him. "Father."
"Did you just come back, Ke’er?" Ling Yun hugged his daughter, patting her back.
"Uhm." Meng Ke’er released her embrace from her father and peeked inside. "You make my mother look like a meek little girl, Father."
"Haha," Ling Yun laughed wryly, realizing that Meng Ke’er had listened to Meng Xianzi earlier. "Your mother is indeed a meek little girl, Ke’er. So, how’s your life in the sect? Are you happy living there? Have you found a man who catches your eye?"
Meng Ke’er pouted her lips. "Why do I feel like you want to send me away, Father? I’m still young, and my cultivation is still low, so I don’t want to think about romance, and I’ll think about it after I can make a name for myself. Besides, all the men who approach me in the sect are just stupid, spoiled young masters, and they can only rely on the power of their clans, so I’ll never be interested in them. Just like my mother, I won’t marry in a hurry, and I will wait for the right man to come and pick me up like a princess."
"Haha," Ling Yun ruffled his daughter’s hair. "It’s okay, you don’t need to rush into marriage. You are my little princess, so only a prince is worthy of being your husband. If you find the right man in the future, you must bring him to see us, and we will judge his character for you."
Unlike Yun Shengxia and Yun Jingqiu, Ling Yun wasn’t worried about Meng Ke’er, Xuanyuan Yue, Lian Ziyue, or his other daughters. He knew that they didn’t have those kinds of feelings for him, and they purely adored him as their father.
Meng Ke’er shook her head. "I don’t want a prince as my husband, Father. I want a smart man who loves a free life, and he must not be afraid to face all the dangers ahead, so we can go together to explore this universe."
"I see." Ling Yun nodded in understanding. "Aren’t there any men like that in your sect?"
"There is one, and his name is Senior Brother Xiao Fengzhi, but he is already married to Senior Sister Wu Xianru." Ling Yun raised an eyebrow slightly. "Father, you don’t have to worry about me because I will never like a married man, and I will marry a man who loves me alone."
Ling Yun was satisfied to hear that. "Ke’er, even though I am a man with many wives by my side, I will never agree to my daughters becoming second wives. Even if those men are very kind and love you all, I will never accept them. You and your sisters are my treasures, and I want all of you to get the best in life. Do you understand?"
"I understand, Father." Meng Ke’er nodded seriously. "I’ll see my mother first."
"Go in." After Meng Ke’er entered the room, Ling Yun immediately disappeared and went elsewhere.
"Hehe," Meng Xianzi’s face flushed red upon hearing her daughter’s mischievous laughter. "I didn’t expect my dignified mother to act like a meek little girl."
Ming Xianzi glared at her daughter. "If you dare tease your mother again, I will punish you severely."
"Tch! You’re really no fun, Mother!"
"Humph!" Meng Xianzi snorted. "I heard you mention Xiao Fengzhi just now; do you like him?"
"Huh? Did you eavesdrop on my conversation with my father just now, Mother?" Meng Ke’er blinked her large eyes.
"Do you think I need to do that with my cultivation level?"
"Hehe," Meng Ke’er joined her mother on the bed, and she was itching to tease Meng Xianzi when she saw the many red marks her father had left on her body. "Senior Brother Xiao Fengzhi is very kind, but I don’t have that kind of feeling towards him, and I only respect him as a senior."
"Is that true?"
"Absolutely true!"
"Alright, I believe you." Thereafter, Meng Ke’er accompanied Meng Xianzi, and she told her mother about many things, especially about her activities in the sect.
