Chapter 1755: Return Home
After resolving the matter of the ancient sword, Ling Yun returned to the Heavenly Star Sect to meet Yu Shuang. He didn’t stay there long, leaving immediately after speaking with the female sect master.
Ling Yun brought Dongfang Qinzhi, Bai Xuanyue, and Liao Shuzhen back to his residence in the Forgotten Starfall Domain. To his surprise, Huang Hao decided to join them, and she told him that his avatar was looking after Tian Hu, who was in the process of reshaping his body.
As for Huang Lingzhu, she wanted to talk to Ling Yun about the child issue, but she knew that he was unwilling to fulfill her wishes, so she chose to postpone it.

When they arrived at the Yunlong Zhuzhai, Ling Yun found Yi Mingxia and several of his wives busy in the kitchen, cooking several dishes for dinner together later.
Ling Yun checked Yun Jingqiu’s room using his sense, but he couldn’t find his first daughter there. He contacted Xiao Yin, and the female Ai informed him that his daughter had entered seclusion in the fortress since several days ago.
Ling Yun himself had heard from Hua Ning, Ye Jing, and Hua Ning about Yun Jingqiu’s decision. He was happy that his first daughter was trying to control her second personality, but he still couldn’t relax as long as she hadn’t forgotten her feelings for him.
"Master." Ling Yun looked at Huang Hao in surprise as she usually called him by his name, but she suddenly addressed him as her master. "Why are you looking at me like that? Is there something wrong with me?"
Ling Yun felt even stranger because Huang Hao was never polite whenever she talked to him, but she suddenly turned gentle, and he could hear a hint of respect in her tone.
"Did something happen to you?" Ling Yun tried to probe her.
"What could happen to me?" Huang Hao asked with a puzzled look. "In this universe, only Huang Lingzhu can do something to me, but you know that she won’t do anything bad to me."
’Hey, Old Dragon! Did something happen to your little lover? Why is she suddenly acting strange?’ Ling Yun asked Long Hun while observing Huang Hao.
"Aunt Huang!" Huang Hao looked at Sheng Ai, who was walking in the air toward her. She smiled broadly and reached out both hands to catch the little immortal. "Hehe! I didn’t expect you to visit our residence, Aunt Huang."
Huang Hao kissed Sheng Ai’s cheeks several times. "You are such an adorable little girl, Little Ai. If I have children in the future, I want to have a daughter like you."
"No." Sheng Ai pouted her lips. "Aunt Huang, you have to give birth to a son, and he will accompany me to play."
"Haha," Huang Hao softly laughed. "Don’t you want to have another sister?"
Sheng Ai rolled her eyes while thinking. "Another brother or sister is fine, Aunt. Does that mean you want to have children with my daddy?"
"Yes," Huang Hao admitted immediately. After considering Ling Yun’s offer a few days ago, she decided to have a child with him using the same method Sheng Ming had used to conceive her daughter.
"Yay!" Sheng Ai cheered happily. "I’ll have a little sibling soon!"
After all, Sheng Ai was Ling Yun’s youngest child, and she always hoped to have a little sibling. However, his other wives weren’t ready to become mothers yet, and they had decided to wait a few years before their final battle with Chaos to have children.
"When do you want to get pregnant, Aunt Huang?" Sheng Ai asked with a look of excitement.
Huang Hao stole a glance at Ling Yun, who stood dumbfounded while looking at her. She smiled to herself and returned her gaze to Sheng Ai. "I will ask your father to impregnate him soon. Where is your mother? Why are you running around alone?"
"My mother is talking with Aunt Bai and Aunt Liao." Huang Hao nodded in understanding and took Sheng Ai to Sheng Ming’s room in the tower.
Long Hun finally spoke. ’Hey, kid! Hao’er’s change of heart seems to have something to do with Sheng Ai! If I were in your position, I’d ask your daughter to stay close to her, and she might fall for you even faster.’
’Little Ai changed Huang Hao’s heart, huh?’ Ling Yun immediately thought of a way to get Huang Hao closer to Sheng Ai.
Dongfang Qinzhi walked beside Ling Yun and patted his shoulder. "What are you thinking? Why are you smiling strangely?"
"I was thinking about you." Ling Yun didn’t give Dongfang Qinzhi a chance to move; he hugged her waist and kissed her, leaving her stunned for a moment. "Qinzhi, we’ve dual soul cultivated a lot, right? So, when are you going to give yourself to me?"
Dongfang Qinzhi rubbed his cheek. "Give me more time, Husband. When I am fully ready, I will surrender myself to you."
"Alright." Ling Yun could have forced Dongfang Qinzhi, but he didn’t want to do that, and he wanted her to surrender herself to him of her own free will.
Dongfang Qinzhi breathed a sigh of relief. "What about Sister Xuanyue and Sister Shuzhen?"
"What’s wrong with them?"
"Are you still unaware of Sister Shuzhen’s wishes?"
As an experienced man with dozens of wives, Ling Yun was naturally aware of Liao Shuzhen’s desires, which were influenced by Sheng Ming and Huang Lingzhu.
"Have you noticed Sister Xuanyue’s changes in the past few days?"
"I do." Ling Yun nodded. "Does Bai Xuanyue’s change have anything to do with you?"
Dongfang Qinzhi smiled. "I share my memories of when our souls were dual soul cultivating with her."
"Why did you do that?" Ling Yun asked helplessly. In fact, he had no plans to take Bai Xuanyue and Liao Shuzhen into his harem, mainly because of Huang Lingzhu’s plan to use him to revive the immortal race.
"I want them to feel what it’s like to be in my shoes." Dongfang Qinzhi pressed her index finger against his chest. "I don’t know about Sister Xuanyue, but Sister Shuzhen has already made up her mind, and she will probably come to you soon."
Ling Yun shook his head. "I won’t do anything to Liao Shuzhen before you give yourself to me."
"Are you so impatient to have me?"
"That’s for sure!"
"Sigh! Soon! I’ll be yours soon!"
"Don’t go back on your words!"
"I will never go back on my words!"
"Good!"
After Dongfang Qinshi left, Ling Yun went to see Jin Nyanyi. It had been more than two weeks since he last went to see her, which was almost half a year for her.
.

"Why did you come here?" Jin Nanyi asked in a lazy tone. She missed him, but she didn’t want to admit it.
"Do you want to throw me out again? Don’t you miss me?" Since Jin Nanyi kicked him out last time, Ling Yun hadn’t come to see her again because he was busy with many things.
Jin Nanyi opened her mouth and wanted to say something, but she suddenly changed her mind and closed her mouth again. ’This blockhead! He should know how I feel, but he still asks that!’
Ling Yun chuckled inwardly before carrying Jin Nanyi to her bedroom. He threw her on the bed, jumped on top of her, and pinned her down.
"You—Mhmm!" Ling Yun swiftly sealed Jin Nanyi’s mouth, inserted his tongue into it, and kissed her passionately. Whatever happened, he was her husband, so she didn’t reject him; instead, she wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed him back.
Within minutes, Jin Nanyi was curled up in Ling Yun’s embrace.
"You jerk! You haven’t seen me in almost half a year!"
Ling Yun shrugged. "Who kicked me out at that time? I needed someone to cheer me up, but you kicked me out so rudely."
"Tch! You are a man, but you hold a grudge towards your own wife just because of a small matter!" Ling Yun looked at her with a smug smile. "What about—"
"Don’t ask." Ling Yun cut off Jin Nanyi as he knew what she was going to ask. "Qiu’er has two personalities, and her other personality is the embodiment of the dark phoenix."
"Huh?" Jin Nanyi was shocked. "How could that happen? Was her second personality born because of your rejection?"
"You’re wrong about that." Ling Yun shook his head. "In fact, Hua Ning also has a second personality named Feng Ning, and she was born when Ning’er’s cultivation broke through to the Five God Realm."
"Eh? Does Hua Ning really have a second personality?"
"That’s true." Ling Yun nodded. "Ning’er told me about her after I found out about Qiu’er’s second personality. They were mother and daughter, but their second personalities were entirely different. Feng Ning didn’t have an evil vibe, and she was more easygoing. In contrast, Feng Jingqiu was very malevolent, and her influence negatively affected Qiu’er."
"Then?"
"I bound Feng Jingqiu’s soul with mine to control her; otherwise, Qiu’er would turn into a vicious woman because of her influence."
"Two souls and two personalities in one body," Jin Nanyi muttered in shock. "Are all dark phoenixes born like that?"
Ling Yun nodded. "Old Dragon told me that Feng Huangxie had two souls and two personalities, and her other personality was truly evil, so he eradicated the dark phoenix race in the past. However, I brought that race back to this universe after I transformed Ning’er into a dark phoenix using the demon creation manual."
"Can Yu Jingqiu’s second personality be eliminated?"
"No can do." Ling Yun sighed regretfully. "Even though Qiu’er and Feng Jingqiu’s souls are separate from each other, they share one body. If either of them disappears, she will suffer severe injuries, and she might die from it."
