After waiting for quite a while, cultivators from the lower and middle clans began filling the Yunlong Chamber of Commerce building, and they seemed enthusiastic about participating in the auction.
Feng Ruxue had already ordered the younger generation of the Feng Clan to welcome and arrange their seats, the people from the Lower Clan got the back row, and the people from the Middle Clan got the middle row. While the front row will be filled by people from the Middle Clan who have strong ties with the Upper Clan.
Meanwhile, Ling Yun and his women waited in the most spacious VIP room, and they kept their eyes on everyone who entered the building. Since he was still unfamiliar with the clans in the cultivator realm, so Feng Xing, Ling Yu'er, and Feng Qingge explained to him the identities of everyone who had arrived at the place.
Suddenly, Ling Yun raised his eyebrows, looking at the four people who were being ushered into the front row seats. He then hugged Feng Xing's waist and teased her. "As I recall, Situ Liang likes you, right? Has he proposed to you again?"
"No." Feng Xing shook her head at him. "Ever since he saw me with you back then, he has never come to the Feng Clan to propose to me again."
"That's good." Ling Yun nodded in satisfaction upon hearing that and kissed Feng Xing's lips.
Feng Xing sighed in her heart and was embarrassed to kiss Ling Yun in front of so many women. But since they were his women, she immediately reciprocated, and they kissed for some time.
After separating their lips, Ling Yun then asked her. "When are you willing to be my woman, Xing'er?"
"I-"
"Hey, Yun'er! Sister Xing already told Mom and me that she is willing to give herself to you soon, so you can dual cultivate with her whenever you want." Su Fei preceded Feng Xing to answer Ling Yun's question.
Feng Xing turned her head and glared fiercely at her, causing Su Fei to laugh in amusement. Even though she had told her and Feng Ruxue that she was willing to give herself to Ling Yun, she wasn't mentally prepared yet.
"Is that true?" Ling Yun asked with a smile.
Feng Xing was speechless for a while; soon, she sighed and nodded. "I did tell them that, but I don't feel ready for it, and I will only do it if you can't control your lust anymore."
"En, that's fine with me." Ling Yun replied with an understanding nod and was already satisfied with her answer. He suddenly turned to look at the people on the first floor again and raised his eyebrows when he saw Situ Liang was looking for someone, and he must be looking for Feng Xing. 'Heh! You can keep dreaming! Xing'er is mine, and I will not hand her over to anyone.'
Knowing Ling Yun's thoughts, Ling Xi, who was hovering above them, sighed and muttered in her heart. 'Sigh, it looks like his bloodline is starting to affect his character, especially after he met the Chaos Dragon yesterday. Sooner or later, he will really become his likeness.'
.

"What are you doing?" Situ Luan asked her little brother. "Sit down quickly! Feng Xing already has a husband-to-be, so you better forget about her."
"Tch!" Situ Liang gritted his teeth and immediately sat on his chair.
Nie Shuang couldn't help but shake her head seeing her son like that; she then sat down between her husband and daughter.
Situ Han then asked her. 'Is it true that Feng Xing already has a husband-to-be?'
'En, I forgot to tell you about that.' Nie Shuang replied with a soft sigh. 'A few weeks ago, our children saw Feng Xing kissing a man, but they don't know the man's identity.'
'I see.' Situ Han nodded in understanding and used his senses to search for Feng Xing, but when his senses reached the room of Ling Yun and the others, Ling Xi immediately repelled his senses, causing him to fall backward. "Gah!"
"What happened to you, husband?" Nie Shuang asked as she helped her husband up, and Situ Liang and Situ Luan looked at their father in confusion.
"I am alright." Situ Han replied as he sat down on his chair again, and he glanced towards their room but froze instantly when he saw blood-red eyes staring at him, causing him to break out in a cold sweat, and even his body was trembling. 'What the hell are those eyes? Even the demons' eyes weren't as scary as those eyes! Could it be the owner of those eyes that repelled my senses just now?'
Nie Shuang, who noticed her husband's strangeness, glanced at the VIP room but saw nothing. She then wiped her husband's cold sweat and asked. "What did you see in that room? Why do you look scared?"
"Nothing." Situ Han shook his head and then took a deep breath before he warned his son sternly. "Liang'er! From now on, I forbid you to come near Feng Xing!"
"But-"
"No buts!" Situ Han interrupted his son as he glared fiercely at him. "I don't want to lose my only son, so you better obey me."
Nie Shuang and Situ Luan looked at him in confusion, for Situ Han suddenly acted strangely like that.
"I understand." Situ Liang replied with a nod, but his heart was filled with anger, especially since he had completely fallen in love with Feng Xing, but his father forbade him to approach her.

Ling Xi chuckled and said. "I didn't expect you could use your bloodline power so easily now."
'En, after I opened the two seals and met the Chaos Dragon, it became easier for me to use my bloodline power, but I can only fully use it once all the seals are broken.' Ling Yun explained to her.
Ling Xi was not surprised by that. "Anyway, when we go to meet the Seven-Colored Butterfly later, you should bring Su Fei, Feng Qingge, and Feng Xing with us. Otherwise, the seven of us won't be able to help you if your lust goes out of control after you break the third seal."
'Sigh, I understand.' Ling Yun then spoke to them. "Fei'er! Xing'er! Qingge! After this auction ends, I want the three of you to come with me to the Illusion Forest."
"What!?" Feng Xing exclaimed in shock upon hearing that; she grabbed Ling Yun's hand and asked him. "Why do you want to go to the Illusion Forest? Don't you know that the forest is perilous? If you enter the forest, you can never come back."
"Hmm? What's wrong with you? Why are you so panicked?" Ling Yun asked back as he held Feng Xing's hand, and he could feel her body trembling quite strongly.
Feng Qingge sighed and explained to him. "Xing'er and Xiu'er's mother disappeared in that forest several hundred years ago, and we couldn't find her until now."
"Huh?" Ling Yun and the other women gasped in shock upon hearing that, and she then opened the map to take a look at the forest, but the map couldn't detect anything there.
Seeing that, Ling Xi directed her senses to the forest, but she couldn't detect anything. "I can't examine the forest with my senses either."
Ling Yun nodded in understanding, pulled Feng Xing into his arms, and rubbed her back as he said. "I know your worry, but I have to go to that forest, or I won't be able to control my lust and turn into a lustful creature."
"But-"
Ling Yun directly covered Feng Xing's mouth with his hand. "You don't need to worry, okay? Ling Xi will protect us, and I'm sure we can get out of the forest safely."
"Hey, Little Xing! You just trust him; I dare to guarantee we can return home safely later." Ling Xi stepped in to reassure Feng Xing. "You certainly don't want Ling Yun to become a lustful creature, right? If he becomes a lustful creature, then only death awaits him, and we will all lose him."
"I-" Feng Xing did not continue her words and stared at Ling Yun. Even though she knew that Ling Xi was powerful, she doubted she could lead them out of the Illusion Forest.
Su Fei then said to her. "Sister Xing, I don't want to lose Yun'er, so whether you agree or not, we will accompany him to the forest."
"Yes, we will go with him there." Ling Yu'er and the others said in unison, for they all didn't want Ling Yun to become a lustful creature.
Hearing them all decide like that, Feng Xing couldn't help but sigh and nod resignedly. "All right; I will come with you, and I will also invite Xiu'er to come with us."
"That's good." Ling Yun nodded in satisfaction after hearing her answer, and he then scanned the people that kept arriving. "Hey, Yu'er! Your grandfather has arrived. Aren't you going to meet him?"
"Hey, my grandfather is also your grandfather, remember? And he is also Xiya's grandfather!" Ling Yun just shrugged indifferently, for he had never considered Ling Ming as his grandfather, and Ling Yu'er continued. "Since I've cut ties with the Ling Clan, I won't meet him. Moreover, if he sees me with you, he will cause a scene here."
Ling Xiya then asked. "But this is strange, Big Sis Yu'er. Why would he come here alone? He usually comes to events like this with Uncle Jie, right?"
