Ling Yun chuckled. "You've realized it now? That's right! She gave you the love sickness potion, and she got it from her cultivator aunt."
"Love sickness potion? Isn't that a potion belonging to the Hundred Flower Sect?" Shui Lan immediately knew the source, as they were both from the Cultivator World.
Ling Xiao himself knew about the sect, and he also knew that it was a dual cultivation sect, but the sect's members were only women. Moreover, they had many types of potions used for dual cultivation, and one of them was the love sickness potion, which they usually used to trap any men they wanted to be their partners.
From the news circulating outside, the men who were trapped by them could not return to their homes, and no one knew their fate.
"Yes." Ling Yun nodded. "I've heard about that sect from Wen Qing and Long Qiu, but I still don't understand much about them."
Hearing that, Shui Lan explained the sect to them. Many people thought that the sect was a heretical sect, but no one had ever succeeded in proving it.
The Hundred Flower Sect itself was never directly involved with the affairs of the Cultivator Realm, and they prioritized trading in unusual potions, and they were the biggest supplier of potions related to sexual activity.
Yi Mingxia and the others were shocked by Shui Lan's explanation, and they then looked at Ling Yun, thinking that he must want to join the sect.
"Hahaha! Ling Yun, that sect really suits you; I'm sure you can take over the sect easily, and you can get a thousand dual cultivation partners." Ling Xi spoke as she laughed out loud.
"Cough!" Ling Yun choked after hearing her words, because Ling Xi often gave him crazy ideas, and then he asked his women. "Why are you guys looking at me like that?"
"Are you going to that sect, Yun'er?" Yi Mingxia asked seriously; she didn't want Ling Yun to have anything to do with women like them. Moreover, those women seemed to be very cruel, and the men who fell into their hands never returned to their families.
Ling Yun looked at his mother in amusement, then he smiled. "For now, I have no interest in that sect, but nothing is certain about the future. If you are afraid that I will suffer the fate of those men, then you need not worry, because I have Ling Xi by my side."
Yi Mingxia couldn't help but sigh, and she nodded at him. She also felt relieved after remembering that Ling Xi was always beside her son.
Ling Yun then looked at Ling Xiao, who was still in a daze, and shook his head in pity. "Your arrogance has blinded you; you were even fooled by an ordinary woman. You-"
"That's enough, Yun'er. You don't need to insult him any longer; he is, after all, your father." Yi Mingxia couldn't bear to see Ling Xiao's condition; it was clear that he was devastated after learning the truth.
"Ling Xi, do something to him; I don't want him to interfere with our lives again." Ling Yun can only give in to his mother.
"All right." Ling Xi made her move and turned Ling Xiao into his slave; only then would he stop bothering them.
After everything was done, Ling Yun ordered them to return to Beijing; he didn't want them to stay too long in Hangzhou to avoid things that could harm his family, especially since Ling Xiao was in cahoots with the people of the Mo clan.
Ling Yun told Yun Mingyue and Ling Xiya. "Since Ling Xiao is now my slave, you two don't need to come back to Beijing anymore, and you guys can stay with us here."
"Yes, I will stay here with you, brother." Ling Xiya agreed without hesitation, and Yun Mingyue could only resignedly agree with him.
Ling Ling then returned to his room to cultivate, and Ling Yin returned to the back garden to continue her training with Lei Lin.

Ling Yun was already on his bed with Yi Mingxia in his arms, and he then asked. "Do you think I was too cruel to him, mom?"
"Yes." Yi Mingxia nodded to her, then she laid on her stomach on top of her son and looked at him. "However, I won't blame you for that, especially since he has malicious intent towards Ling'er."
Ling Yun smiled upon hearing that, hugged his mother, and kissed her. Soon they began to dual-cultivate for a while.
After they finished dual cultivating and Yi Mingxia had fallen asleep from exhaustion, Ling Yun smiled to himself before activating his dream creation technique.

On top of a building, Sophie, who was talking to her, was startled when Mariel suddenly fell asleep.
"Hey, what happened to you?" Sophie asked as she shook her body, but Mariel looked like she was sleeping soundly. "It's weird; she can normally stay awake for up to a month, but she's suddenly fallen asleep."
.
.
.

"Hmm? What is this place? How did I suddenly get to this place?" Mariel spoke to herself in confusion, especially since she couldn't use her powers either; she then walked down the footpath in front of her. "Sophie! Where are you?"
Above the sky, Ling Yun kept observing the confused Mariel, but he hesitated to meet her.
After thinking for a while, Ling Yun sighed softly and made up his mind; he then appeared before Mariel, startling her.
"Ling Yun? How did you appear here?" Mariel asked in shock.
Ling Yun smiled at her. "You don't need to feel confused, Mariel."
"Is this your doing?" Mariel frowned at him.
Ling Yun nodded and explained it to her. "Anyway, this place is my dream space, so all of this is just a dream to you. Like I told you before, I'm very attracted to you, and I want you to be my woman."
Mariel frowned even more at that, then shook her head at him. "I am an angel, and I will never enter into a relationship with any human, so please let me out of this dream."
"Sorry, I won't let you go for now." Ling Yun rejected his request and grabbed his hand.
Mariel wanted to pull her hand away from Ling Yun, but she was unable to use her strength, and he also held onto her hand tightly. "Let go of my hand."
"Mariel, you take it easy. I won't force anything bad on you, and I just want to talk to you." Even so, Ling Yun immediately activated his Yin-Yang Finger.
Unlike Mariel, since they were in his dream space, Ling Yun could freely use his cultivation and abilities.
'Ugh! What's this feeling? I've never felt this kind of feeling in my whole life.' Mariel muttered in her heart, feeling her body heat up from within.
As Ling Xi explained before, the dream space and dream techniques can affect reality, and Meng Xianzi can even kill her enemies through their dreams, which is why Mariel can feel that way.
Even though the current Mariel was just an embodiment of her subconscious, Ling Yun's technique was affecting her body, so she was aroused by the effect of his finger technique.
Seeing her reaction, Ling Yun pulled Mariel into his arms and kissed her, but he didn't do anything more than kiss her.
Since Ling Yun kept using Yin-Yang Fingers on her, Mariel hugged his neck and kissed him back. 'Ugh! What exactly happened to me? Why can't I hold myself back?'
Since Mariel reacted positively, Ling Yun continued to hug her and kiss her even more passionately, and his tongue moved into her mouth, which she immediately welcomed.
A few minutes later, Ling Yun separated their lips and caressed Mariel's cheek. "How does it feel to kiss me? Do you like it?"
"Yeah, I never thought that kissing was really good, and I like it." Mariel answered with a nod.
Ling Yun asked again. "Do you want to kiss me again?"
"Yes." Since Mariel thought that it was just a dream, so she answered without hesitation.
Ling Yun cupped her cheeks and kissed her passionately again, and Mariel unhesitatingly kissed him back as she hugged his waist.
A while later, they had stopped kissing, and Ling Yun brought out a garden with a small lake in his dream space.
"Are you able to control this place as you please?" Mariel looked at the garden and lake.
"Yes, after all, this is my dream space." Ling Yun answered as he pulled Mariel into the garden. "Anyway, I have adjusted the flow of time in this place to be fast enough, and one day in this dream space is equivalent to one minute in the outside world."
"Why are you doing this to me?" Mariel sat beside him.
Ling Yun turned to her, and he replied as he looked at her with a gentle gaze. "I seriously want you to be my woman, Mariel. That's why I brought you here; this way I can talk to you and get to know you better."
Mariel was stunned by his gentle gaze. "I-"
"I know that an angel is devoid of emotion, but I will definitely change your mind, and you will definitely fall in love with me someday." Ling Yun spoke confidently.
Mariel couldn't help but sigh at that, and since she also couldn't get out on her own from the dream space, she decided to accompany Ling Yun to chat, and they talked about many things for a long time.
