Chang House
"What about Ling Xiao's wealth? It's been almost two weeks. Have you managed to take it over?" Mo Shi asked Mo Yu, who was sitting opposite him.
Mo Yu sighed and shook his head at him. "I can't take over his wealth, the people I put in the company were kicked out by Zhao Yao, and they also moved their headquarters to Hangzhou now."
"Hmm?" Mo Shi raised his eyebrows upon hearing that, and he still remembered Zhao Yao's identity as a cat demon. "Then what about Ling Xiao's authority in government?"
Mo Yu sighed heavily after hearing that, and he explained to him. "For the time being, several parties also want to take over his authority in the government, so we still have to be patient to do so. However, I have already contacted someone to help me, but he will only return to this country in a few days, and I will make a move after she comes."
"I see." Mo Shi nodded in understanding and got up from his seat. "If you've managed to do that, you should immediately tell me in person."
"Yes." Mo Yu nodded and asked him. "What will you do now, Elder Shi?"
"The patriarch ordered me to go to Hangzhou to watch over them." Mo Yu looked surprised to hear his answer, especially since those people were powerful. After all, Mo Shi was only a low-level elder in their clan, so he had to follow Mo Tian's orders, even at the cost of his life. "Anyway, I'll try to do something about that female cat demon."
"All right."
After that, Mo Shi immediately disappeared from his sight, and Mo Yu also went to another place to take care of things.

Yin-Yang Chamber
"How do you feel?" Ling Xi asked as she continued to observe Ling Yun's body, but she didn't find any abnormalities in his body, which made her feel relieved.
Ling Yun chuckled and answered her with a bitter smile. "My body has no abnormality, but I need too much Qi to break through to the next stage." 'Hey, system! Show me how much qi I need to break through again.'
Cultivation: Lower Core Realm [280,700/600,000]
> Yang Qi: 40,500/600,000
> Yin Qi: 240,200/600,000
Ling Xi nodded in understanding after she saw that. "Since you have three qi cores, it's no wonder your qi requirement has tripled. But I wonder how you managed to form three cores?"
Lian Bing and Xiao Xiao looked at Ling Yun curiously, especially since he was the only cultivator with three qi cores at once.
"I can't describe it for sure to you guys." Ling Yun replied with a soft sigh. "However, after I formed my first core, I felt a few things about to burst out from within my body, so I decided to release them, and all my elements merged and formed a colorful qi core. As for my devil qi core, I wasn't originally thought about it at all, but my bloodline suddenly erupted together with that devil qi, and it finally formed my third core."
"Yun'er! Although Ling Xi is always by your side, I hope you don't use your devil qi too often, or else all the cultivators in the cultivator realm will hunt you down, especially that Xuanyuan Clan." Xiao Xiao warned him sternly, and Lian Bing nodded in agreement with her.
Even though Ling Yun had Ling Xi's protection, they didn't want him to continue relying on her, or else he would never be able to develop further. Besides, a huge responsibility awaits him in the future, so he should be able to be independent from now on.
Ling Yun nodded in understanding at Xiao Xiao's words; he also didn't want to continue relying on Ling Xi's protection either. As a cultivator, he knew that he should be able to think and act like a true cultivator, and he also couldn't depend on anyone. "I understand your concern, but I assure you I will act cautiously in the future."
"That's good." The two women nodded in satisfaction with his answer.
Ling Yun then touched Ling Ling, who was still unconscious and circulated his light qi into her body.
"Ugh!" Soon, Ling Ling started to wake up and slowly opened her eyes, but she was stunned for a moment to see her little brother and then rubbed his cheeks. "How did it go? Did you manage to form your third core?"
"En, I managed to do it." Ling Yun replied with a smile as he helped her sit up on the bed. "I'm sorry I made you worry."
"No." Ling Ling then hugged him and breathed a sigh of relief. "I am happy for your success, and our cultivations are already on par now, but I believe you will be much stronger than me in the future."
Ling Yun hugged her back and rubbed her back. "Don't worry, I will continue to help all of you in the future, and you guys will become strong as well."
Lian Bing suddenly said to him. "Ling Yun, since Ling'er and I have left the sect too long, we should return there soon."
"I understand." Ling Yun then asked his big sister. "Is your stock still enough?"
Ling Ling naturally understood the meaning of his question, so she immediately checked her storage ring and counted the number of bottles left. "I have little left in stock, so you should give me more."
"Okay, I will prepare it before you return to Lotus Sect." Ling Yun nodded in understanding.
Xiao Xiao then asked him. "Are you planning to move to the cultivator realm soon? And are you thinking about joining one of the sects there?"
Upon hearing that, Ling Yun was stunned for a moment; he had never thought about it before. He then thought things over carefully, and soon he answered Xiao Xiao. "I do plan to move there soon, but I won't be joining any sects for now, and I think it would be better if I trained in the forest to fight the beasts. However, I might join one if I feel I have become strong enough."
"Well, that's also a good choice." Xiao Xiao said with a nod of approval. "However, you can't be a rogue cultivator forever, and it would be better if you also joined a sect. That way, you can learn more about cultivation and the like, and you might also get a lot of cultivation brothers and sisters who can help you in the future."
"I will definitely consider your advice, Big Sis Xiao." Ling Yun then carried Ling Ling off the bed. "But for now, we must leave this place first; Mother and the others must be worried about me."
After they agreed, Ling Yun immediately opened an exit portal, and they quickly exited the Yin-Yang Chamber.
Xiao Xiao and Lian Bing immediately left his room and met the women gathered in the living room, and both told them about Ling Yun's success.
However, Ling Yun didn't immediately see Yi Mingxia and the others. Instead, he went to the bathroom and prepared dozens of bottles filled with his semen for Ling Ling's provision first.
After he had prepared everything, Ling Yun gave them to Ling Ling, and they went straight to the living room to meet all his women. But he was surprised when he saw Sophie in their house and asked her. "Why are you here?"
Yi Mingxia and the others were relieved after seeing him, and they looked proud of him, mainly after they listened to Xiao Xiao and Lian Bing's explanation. "Yun'er! Sophie has been waiting for you for ten days."
"Oh?" Ling Yun was surprised to hear that, he and Ling Ling sat beside their mother, and he asked Sophie again. "What's the matter? Why have you been waiting here for me so long?"
Sophie sighed softly and explained everything to Ling Yun, making him frown, but he didn't interrupt her and continued to listen to her.
After Sophie explained everything, Ling Yun thought for a while before answering. "I don't understand why Michael was so adamant about me joining you guys, but I am willing to accept his request on one condition."
"Hmm?" Sophie raised her eyebrows, and she had already guessed the conditions Ling Yun would put on her.
Ling Yun smiled and conveyed his condition. "If Michael wants me to join you guys, he has to allow Mariel to be with me. If he's unwilling to fulfill my one condition, he better stop wishing for me to join you guys."
"But-"
"No buts." Ling Yun then activated his bloodline, his body instantly shrouded in a pitch-black aura, and his eyes became blood red, making Sophie break out in cold sweat. "If he dares to punish Mariel because of our relationship, then I will become the enemy of you angels, and I will do anything to bring her to my side, including uprooting the angel realm."
Yi Mingxia and the others didn't say anything to stop him, especially since they knew that Ling Yun wanted Mariel to be his woman, and their relationship had also become very close now.
"All right, I will convey your words to him," Sophie answered as she stood up. "But I hope we won't become enemies in the future."
"It all depends on him." Ling Yun answered and deactivated his bloodline, and Sophie immediately left their house.
