Outside the Wuwei Tower.
Zhong Qin stood upon a patch of auspicious clouds, quietly gazing at this peaceful Immortal Sect.
Since the last time she parted ways with Ye Yu and Bai Xichu,
more than a month had passed.
During this period,
Zhong Qin searched all over the Heavenly Realm for ancient books about entering dreams,
hoping to find some immortal technique that could influence a person’s mind like her own experience.
But no matter how hard she searched,
she could never find a satisfactory answer.
Recalling the dream she shared with Ye Yu, all the sensations had been so vivid—
as if everything was right before her eyes, within reach,
just like it truly happened.
It was impossible to distinguish where the dream ended and reality began.
Could it really be, just as Ye Yu said, a parallel world?
Zhong Qin truly did not know what to decide.
In the Heavenly Realm, she had suffered so many hardships,
so many that she no longer dared to trust anyone.
The only thing she could rely on was the Great Wilderness Blood Vine.
But immortals were still people,
possessing both reason and emotion.
This caused Zhong Qin to be tormented day and night.
On one hand, reason restrained her, telling her to observe more, to explore further,
and only seek out Ye Yu once absolute safety was certain.
On the other hand, emotion constantly told her
that the unforgettable feeling was real. Only by Ye Yu’s side could she feel warmth.
Zhong Qin was deeply conflicted.
Often, when night fell, she would unconsciously look toward the direction of the Tiandi Pavilion.
In that place,
there were countless memories with Ye Yu,
beautiful and deeply etched.
Eventually, Zhong Qin decided to face her heart directly.
If she liked him, then she would bravely take a step forward; even if it meant total defeat, she would never regret it.
Having realized this,
Zhong Qin immediately took action, heading straight to the central part of the Heavenly Realm to search for Ye Yu’s whereabouts.
After extensive inquiries,
she arrived at this place.
According to investigations, Ye Yu was an immortal of the Wuwei Tower Sect.
Moreover, he had once caused quite a stir,
so finding him was not difficult.
But at this moment,
Zhong Qin grew somewhat hesitant.
Because she didn’t know how to face Ye Yu,
especially after their last unpleasant meeting.
She worried Ye Yu might still be angry.
So she involuntarily lingered outside the auspicious clouds for a long time, waiting.
Until a cold voice came from inside the Wuwei Tower.
“Are you planning to stand there all day?”
Hearing this, Zhong Qin looked down.
At the entrance to Wuwei Tower stood four peerlessly beautiful immortals.
Each one’s face was no less beautiful than hers.
One of them she had seen before in the Eastern Heavenly Realm.
Indeed, the one speaking was Bai Xichu—the very first person Zhong Qin had met.
If not for Ye Yu’s intervention back then,
Zhong Qin might have already died by Bai Xichu’s sword!
Since she had been seen, there was no point hiding anymore.
After all, they would meet sooner or later.
So Zhong Qin directly approached the front of the Wuwei Tower Sect and softly asked, “Where is Ye Yu? I want to see him!”
“Your husband is not here now. What do you want with him?”
Zhuo Lanqing linked arms with Shangguan Jiujio, watching Zhong Qin warily.
She had just returned to the Wuwei Tower from outside.
After meeting Shangguan Jiujio, the two had become even closer.
At the same time, she said the word “husband” very naturally.
Zhong Qin looked at Zhuo Lanqing and couldn’t help but frown slightly.
So besides Bai Xichu, Ye Yu had other immortal wives?
Bai Xichu’s voice was cold as she said, “She’s like me!”
This made Shangguan Jiujio and Zhuo Lanqing instinctively think
that Zhong Qin was also Ye Yu’s earthly spouse.
So they said no more.
But Bai Miaoling caught the implication behind her cousin’s words, feeling not much surprise.
After all, they were used to it by now.
Whenever there was something, a new sister would appear.
Miaoling’s tolerance had greatly improved compared to before.
Since it couldn’t be changed, they might as well coexist harmoniously.
From Bai Xichu’s cold attitude, it seemed she and Zhong Qin ❖ Nоvеl𝚒ght ❖ (Exclusive on Nоvеl𝚒ght) didn’t get along well.
As the saying goes, the enemy of my enemy is my friend.
Not on good terms with her cousin?
Perfect, that suited Bai Miaoling’s taste exactly.
She said, “My husband has been out searching for someone for several days now, and he should be back soon.
Why don’t you come inside the sect and wait for him?”
Zhong Qin instinctively wanted to refuse,
but then she thought, if she refused, where would she go?
After some thought,
Zhong Qin agreed to Bai Miaoling’s suggestion, her figure flickering as she suddenly entered the sect’s entrance.
Bai Xichu quietly watched all this, saying nothing.
After all, Ye Yu had said Zhong Qin was also one of his wives from a parallel world.
Logically, Bai Xichu should have called her “sister.”
The reason she kept a cold expression all this time
was entirely because Zhong Qin hadn’t believed Ye Yu before, suspecting some immortal technique was involved.
Truly ridiculous.
After the five women gathered and just as they were about to return inside the sect,
a figure suddenly appeared.
Sensing a strong immortal aura,
Bai Miaoling, Bai Xichu, and the others turned to look again.
They saw a middle-aged woman wearing a black robe,
standing on the auspicious clouds where Zhong Qin had just been.
Such a familiar spot made Zhuo Lanqing curiously ask, “Could she also be the husband’s wife?
She doesn’t really look like one!”
She did not mean to be exclusionary,
but simply the appearance was easy to distinguish.
Zhong Qin was stunningly beautiful.
But this newly arrived woman was middle-aged, and at best her appearance could only be called average.
If she really were a sister, one could only say—
the husband must be a bit hungry.
Shangguan Jiujio also felt something was off,
but quietly said, “Sometimes appearances can be deceiving. Maybe it’s some illusion to fool outsiders. We should at least ask first.”
After saying this,
Shangguan Jiujio stepped forward and continued, “May I ask, immortal lady, are you also His... immortal spouse?”
This instantly drew suspicious glances from Bai Xichu, Bai Miaoling, and Zhong Qin.
Actually, not only them—Sang Liuhé, who had just arrived, was also filled with a headache.
What are you all babbling about?
What immortal spouse?
I’ve served the sword my whole life, never been anyone’s immortal spouse.
You come here recklessly claiming sisters.
Frankly, you’re really quite presumptuous!
Sang Liuhé ignored Shangguan Jiujio and answered evasively, “Where is Ye Yu? Let him come out and meet me!”
Well then.
It really might be Ye Yu’s immortal spouse after all.
Even the question was not much different from Zhong Qin’s.
This was truly unexpected.
Zhuo Lanqing pursed her lips slightly.
Husband, oh husband, were you really that hungry before?
Or could it be that this woman in front had not shown her true face yet?
