At the end of his training for the day, Ling Yun had already gotten used to the weight of the Chaos Dragon Broadsword, but he still couldn't adapt one hundred percent.
Even so, Ling Yun was satisfied with the results of his training, especially since his body had gotten stronger and stronger. Sooner or later, his body would be wholly tempered by it, and his physical strength would surpass that of other cultivators. "Hey, Ling Xi! How about you take me to the heart of this forest later?"
Ling Xi floated beside Ling Yun and asked back with a frown. "Hmm? What do you plan to do there? If you want to fight the beasts in that place, then you'd better forget about it, for they are too strong for you."
"No, I don't want to fight those beasts." Ling Yun replied as he shook his head. "Anyway, I've thought things through carefully, and I thought it would be best if I built a residence in the heart of this forest, so I wanted to head over to that area to look at the location over there."
"Oh?" Ling Xi was surprised to hear that. "Why do you want to build your residence in this forest?"
Ling Yun smiled, pulled Ling Xi to sit on his shoulder, and ran towards their camp to meet his women.
On the other hand, Xuanyuan Xiang'er followed behind them, curious, especially after hearing Ling Yun's earlier words. However, she thought that her idea was too crazy, for the beasts in the heart of the forest were too strong for him, let alone his women.
Ling Yun then explained. "Think about it carefully; if I build my residence in the heart of this forest, then we will have many guards who can protect us."
"Hmm? Do you want to use the beasts as guards for your residence?" Ling Xi and Xuanyuan Xiang were surprised to hear that.
"Yes." Ling Yun nodded to her. "The easiest way is for us to look for some of the strongest beasts in there, and I will use my bloodline to subdue them; only then will they obey me completely."
"I see." Ling Xi nodded repeatedly, understanding Ling Yun's intentions. "Your idea is doable, but are you sure you want to subdue them that way? If you force them to submit to you, there's a possibility they'll revolt later."
"Really?" Ling Yun chuckled at that. "If they are unwilling to fully submit to me, I only need to give them my slave mark, right? That way, they will never dare to think of revolt, let alone hurt my women."
Ling Xi laughed heartily after hearing that, and somehow she felt that Ling Yun was starting to get really bad; he didn't hesitate to use his slave mark.
On the other hand, Xuanyuan Xiang'er was speechless upon hearing that, especially since Ling Yun also gave her a slave mark, which she had not realized before.
"Well, if you want to do that, you can do it." Ling Xi replied with a nod of approval. "However, you should only choose a few of the strongest beasts, or else all those beasts in this forest will fear you, and you guys won't be able to train in this place anymore."
"Well, you're right about that." Ling Yun sighed softly afterward.
Ling Xi then asked again. "So when do you plan to build our residence in there?"
"Hmm?" Ling Yun thought for a while before answering Ling Xi's question. "For now, I want to focus on increasing my strength and cultivation first, and once I feel ready to participate in the inter-sect competition, we will start building our residence."
Ling Xi agreed with that, "Moreover, Yi Mingxia and the others are currently training elsewhere, so we still have plenty of time for that."
"Yes." Ling Yun nodded to her. "For now, we all must focus on dealing with the problems that await us."

Soon, they arrived at their campsite, and those women had also finished their training. Yet, their condition was really messed up, especially Feng Yao, who looked exhausted.
Ling Yun approached Feng Yao, pulled her into his arms, and helped her drink the Medium Qi Restoration Liquid.
Feng Yao's face was completely red in Ling Yun's arms, and her heart was beating wildly, but she didn't say anything and drank the liquid.
Feng Xing shook her head seeing that and muttered in her heart. 'Apparently, Yao'er started to have feelings for Yun'er, especially after he saved her from the assassins of the Shui Clan back then. In addition, he also always treats her so gently.'
Feng Yao's reaction did not go unnoticed by Feng Qiong and Feng Xiu, and they also realized that she had started to fall for Ling Yun, but they felt happy for her.
After that, Ling Yun told them he wanted to build a residence in the forest's heart, shocking them.
"Huh? Do you seriously want us to live in this forest, Yun'er?" Ling Yu'er asked in surprise; the others also looked at Ling Yun.
"I'm serious." Ling Yun replied as he nodded, immediately explaining his idea to them.
The women nodded in understanding to Ling Yun's explanation, and they felt that his idea was doable and best for them.
"Then what about those powerful beasts, Ling Yun?" Feng Qiong asked.
Ling Yun turned to her and smiled. "You don't need to worry about them; I will do something about them first and have them completely submit to me."
"I thought it wouldn't be difficult for you to subdue them." Wen Qing said as she shook her head. "After all, you have your bloodline, and even Sister Ruxue can't withstand the effect of your bloodline, let alone those beasts."
Feng Ling'er then said. "If Yun'er subdues those beasts, they will become perfect guardians for us. Moreover, this forest is located right in the middle of the Cultivator Realm, so this is a strategic place for us to live in."
"Heh! Only you can think of such a thing, Ling Yun! If other cultivators find out that you built your residence in this forest, I believe no one will dare to disturb you all." Long Qiu said with a wry smile, for all his abilities were too absurd for her.
Ling Yun's women only smiled at that. After all, he is their husband, and they are certainly proud to have a husband like him.
On the other hand, Zhang Bing and Yuan Meng only listened to their conversation. Still, they felt Ling Yun was too badass, especially since he had too many women.
"Does that mean you will also bring the rest of your women to live here?" Zoe asked him, especially after discovering that some of Ling Yun's women were still left in the outside world.
"Since they are all my women, I will naturally bring them to live with me." Ling Yun replied with a chuckle. "Honestly, I've been thinking about this matter since I met the Chaos Dragon. If they all stayed by my side, I could increase their cultivation faster. However, I wouldn't do it in a hurry, especially since some of them are still training elsewhere to hone their fighting skills."
Upon hearing that, Zhang Xingcai joined in on their conversation. "That is the best option for them, Yun'er. Even if you can increase their cultivation quickly, if their combat ability is nil, everything will be useless."
"That's true." All of the women agreed with Zhang Xingcai's words, especially since fighting skills could only be honed if they fought often, and all of Ling Yun's women living in the outside world were still inexperienced in combat.
Feng Qingge then asked him. "Master, wouldn't it be better if you bring your four remaining women to this place? If they are here, they can start honing their combat skills by taking on low-level beasts."
"En, I agree with your idea, Qingge." Ling Yun then said. "Moreover, my grandma, Ling Yin, and Liu Qiyue's cultivations have already reached the Great Spirit Master Realm. Only Ying Zi is still in the Spirit Master Realm."
"In that case, you should immediately pick them up, and they can join our seclusion." Su Fei said to him, and the other women also agreed with her words.
Suddenly, Ling Yu'er teased him. "Hey, Yun'er! Somehow I feel you are looking forward to building your harem kingdom in this forest. Do you also want to take all the female beasts in this forest as your harem as well?"
*Swoosh*
"Ouch!" Ling Yu'er screamed after Ling Yun flicked her forehead with qi. "Why did you do that?"
Ling Yun's lips twitched, and he asked her. "Do you think I'm that lustful?"
"Yes!" Those women answered in unison; even Huo Ye answered the same, and only Philia smiled upon hearing them.
Ling Xi laughed out loud, seeing them like that, but she was delighted to see the current Ling Yun, for he could decide their future.
Ling Yun shook his head and sighed inwardly, but he couldn't deny their words, and he himself could feel that he was becoming more lustful every day. Then he turned towards the deepest part of the forest and inwardly muttered. 'My harem kingdom, huh? That doesn't sound bad, though.'
[Do you really want to build your harem kingdom in this forest?] Ling Xi asked with a teasing tone straight into his mind.
