Ling Yun shook his head at Danielle. "At first, I came here to capture Lucille, but I've changed my mind now, and I'm taking you with me as well."
Danielle was taken aback for a moment after hearing that, but her expression turned sad. "Unfortunately, I can't leave this place or I will die, and I won't be of any use to you if I die, right?"
"Haha." Ling Yun laughed at her words. "Honestly, whether you live or die, you are still of no use to me."
Danielle pursed her lips. "Why are you saying such a thing to me?"
"I'm just telling the truth; you are a Mana user, and I am a cultivator." Ling Yun casually replied to her before lifting Danielle's chin. "However, you may be of use to me in other ways, but I'm not sure you can do it."
Danielle's face turned red after she heard that. After all, she was a mature woman, so she naturally understood the meaning behind Ling Yun's words.
"See? You're too innocent; you even blush just because of my words." Ling Yun said with a chuckle, seeing her reaction. "Anyway, do you want to leave this place? I can take you with me, and I might be able to help you reverse the effects of the experiment later."
Hearing that, Danielle looked at Ling Yun incredulously. "I can't believe your words, especially since you don't even know what my father and Lucille have done to me."
"I may not know what they did to you in the past, but I have something that might help you live a normal life again." Ling Yun spoke with a confident look, for he firmly believed that Xiao Yin and all the equipment in the Celestial Fortress could help Danielle.
"Are you serious with your words?" Danielle asked after she saw Ling Yun's expression, and hope began to well up in her heart, but she immediately suppressed it again, for she was afraid to be disappointed.
Ling Yun nodded to her. "I'm sure I can help you. Even if I fail, you can still live more freely compared to continuing to live in this place."
"Live freely, huh?" Danielle muttered to herself. It was her dream for a long time, but she could never do it because of an abnormality in her body.
Ling Yun then rubbed Danielle's cheek and asked her. "So what's your decision? Do you want to live a free life? Or do you want to continue living cooped up in this place?"
Danielle looked at Ling Yun seriously before answering him. "Although I'm still not sure that you can help me, please take me away from this place."
Hearing that, Ling Xi immediately appeared before them, shocking Danielle. "Hey, we have to move quickly; Ruxue is following Lucas and the others now, and they have already left this town."
"Who is she, Ling Yun?" Danielle asked, as she was suspicious of Ling Xi, especially since she too was able to enter her room without her noticing.
"Her name is Ling Xi, one of my wives." Ling Yun answered her as he opened the portal to the Yin-Yang Chamber, but his face instantly darkened once he saw Luo Yan having fun with Mo Hongling. He immediately snapped his fingers, and many tree branches appeared and bound her.
Just as Luo Yan was about to curse at him, Ling Yun immediately stuffed her mouth with a tree branch, for he was too lazy to listen to her ramble.
Danielle was dumbfounded after seeing that, and she wondered in her heart. 'How can he control plants like me? And who are the two women? Why did he treat them so badly?'
"Ling Xi! You can move all these plants inside, and we will immediately catch up with them." Ling Yun said as he observed Danielle's room.
"Eh!?" Danielle was surprised to hear that. "What do you mean by moving them inside?"
"Literally!" Ling Yun then explained it to her. "Since you can't live without these plants, I will bring them into my chamber. Moreover, I can control its insides at will, so I will create the same plants inside, and you can stay inside for the time being."
Danielle was once again dumbfounded after she heard Ling Yun's explanation, but she then watched Ling Xi, who quickly moved all the plants in her room into the Yin-Yang Chamber.
As Ling Yun said before, Danielle could see many identical plants appearing within it after he snapped his fingers.
Ling Yun chuckled and said to Danielle. "You can go inside now as I have to catch up with them, and we'll talk later."
"Wait a minute! I'll call Alea first! I can't leave her here!"
In fact, without Danielle having to say that, Ling Yun had already summoned Alea to meet them.
.
.
.
After Danielle and Alea entered, Ling Yun immediately closed the Yin-Yang Chamber again, and he led Ling Xi out of the room.
Ling Xi immediately teased him. "Haha! Are you attracted to Danielle? Otherwise, you won't bother to help her, even though Nangong Ying'er has begged you to save her."
"Hmm? Danielle's character isn't bad, and her looks are good too, so it would be hypocritical if I wasn't attracted to her." Ling Yun answered as he flew up, and they immediately flew away to catch up with Feng Ruxue.
Ling Xi nodded in agreement with that. "I've read Danielle's memories earlier, and she's very kind indeed, but she's also too naive. Otherwise, she wouldn't have fallen into Lucille's trap, and she ended up like that now."
"It's okay; I'm sure Xiao Yin can do something for Danielle, and she will definitely recover as before." Ling Yun then quickened his flight speed, and Ling Xi continued to envelop them with his aura so they wouldn't alert Travis and the other God Kings.

Meanwhile, Danielle lay on the bed with a wide smile on her face, especially since she had been cooped up in her room for a very long time. But now, Ling Yun has taken her away, and she feels very happy about her situation. "Alea! I never imagined this day would come to me, and the person who saved me was a cultivator that our race despises so much!"
"Congratulations, Young Miss." Alea replied with a flat expression. "However, your life will be very different after you arrive at the Cultivator Realm, let alone the fact that there are many other women there."
"I know." Danielle replied as she nodded. "Ying'er already told me that Ling Yun has dozens of women, but I think it's fine. At least I can leave that accursed room, and I no longer need to meet my father and that bitch."
Hearing that, Alea did not respond to Danielle, and her eyes focused on Luo Yan, who was struggling to free herself.
Danielle then looked up at Luo Yan, removed the tree branch from her mouth, and asked her. "Who are you? Why did Ling Yun lock you up in this place?"
"My name is Luo Yan, and I am a disciple of the Hundred Flower Sect." She introduced herself as her eyes stared at Danielle jealously, especially since her figure was much better than hers. 'Damn it! How could all those women fall into his arms?'
Danielle raised her eyebrows after hearing Luo Yan's answer, but she then spoke to her again. "I didn't expect that you were one of the disciples of Ying'er's sect, and I've heard a lot about you guys from her. No wonder Ling Yun kept you here, and he also treated you like this, especially since he hates the women of that sect so much."
"Do you know the founder of my sect?" Luo Yan asked her in surprise.
Danielle nodded at her. "Although I don't like Ying'er's actions through her sect, she is my best friend, and she is the only person who cares for me. So I am very saddened by her current situation, for she is now Ling Yun's slave."
"Huh?" Luo Yan's eyes widened in shock after she heard that. 'If Ling Yun really enslaved the founder, it means he really didn't lie to me, and he already enslaved my Master and the others.'
"Do you know who this woman is?" Danielle asked her as she pointed at Mo Hongling.
Luo Yan shook her head. "I don't know her, but she must be one of Ling Yun's enemies."
"Well, that's true." Danielle answered with an approving nod. "Otherwise, Ling Yun wouldn't make this woman like this; I can't even sense her consciousness."
"Hey! Release me from these damn tree branches, please!" Luo Yan shouted at Danielle.
However, Danielle shook her head and covered Luo Yan's mouth with a tree branch again, causing her to glare fiercely at her. "Since you are Ling Yun's enemy, I naturally won't let you go, or else he will be angry with me later."
'This bitch!' Luo Yan was cursing in her heart, but she also felt powerless to extricate herself.
.
.
.
Ling Yun had already flown beside Feng Ruxue, and they were already quite far from the city, but they saw that Lucas and the others looked confused.
"What happened? Did they lose track of Lucille?" Feng Ruxue asked her husband.
Ling Yun shook his head at Feng Ruxue and opened the map directly, trying to locate Lucille on it. Soon, he managed to find her location, and he told his wife. "I found her, and the place is deep in the underground."
