After they were done having fun and Ling Yun had fallen asleep, Lei Lin immediately got dressed and returned to her loli form. She then left the room, but she kept glancing at him with a complicated look.
Noting her expression, Ling Xi immediately followed Lei Lin, especially since she knew the burden on her heart.
Soon, the two spirit women sat together on the highest roof in Yunlong Zuzhai, and Lei Lin buried her face between her legs.
Ling Xi sighed softly and embraced Lei Lin. "Are you thinking about what will happen between Ling Yun and your big brother?"
"What should I do next, Big Sis?" Lei Lin asked in a sad tone. "I really like Ling Yun, and I want to stay with him forever. However, Big Brother is one of the strongest of the spirit guardians, and the Spirit Emperor might send him to hunt you two down. If they fight with each other, and I really don't know which side to choose."
"Honestly, I don't have any answers for you, Lei." Ling Xi then touched Lei Lin's chest and spoke to her again. "If that really happens, then you can follow your heart on which side to choose. If you decide to side with Ling Yun, we will definitely be happy with your decision. However, if you choose to side with your big brother, we won't blame you either, especially since this matter happened because of my selfishness."
Hearing that, Lei Lin hugged Ling Xi and buried her face in her chest. "Big Sis, out of all the members of our race, you are the one who always cares about me, and I don't want anything bad to happen to you. If they succeed in capturing you, the Spirit Emperor will definitely punish you severely, and he might sentence you to death."
(A/N: You might be confused about why Lei Lin said this, especially since Ling Xi is an immortal. However, I won't explain it now, and I will explain it when the time comes.)
"You don't need to worry about me." Ling Xi replied as she hugged and rubbed Lei Lin's back. "As long as that old geezer doesn't personally come down to capture me, I am confident that we can deal with those Spirit Guardians. However, if he comes to capture me by himself, I will do whatever it takes to save Ling Yun and the others from him, including sacrificing myself."
"Big Sis!" Lei Lein shouted and hugged Ling Xi tighter, and tears flowed from her eyes. "Please! I beg you! Don't do that! I don't want to lose you!"
After hearing Lei Lin's words, Ling Xi inwardly let out a heavy sigh and hugged her silently, for she didn't have the right words to calm her, especially since she already knew the risks from the start.
Even so, Ling Xi didn't want to give up just like that, and she had already devised several plans for Ling Yun and the others to become stronger, so they could fight the Spirit Guardians in the future.
As for the Spirit Emperor, Ling Xi still hadn't found a solution to deal with him, especially since his cultivation was so far above hers. 'Sigh, we must go to higher realms soon, or else we'll run out of time if that old geezer finds out that Invidia is dead.'

In the morning, Ling Yun gathered his women and friends in the main hall, and he informed them that they would be leaving the earth in two days, so he asked them to settle their unfinished business first.
Zhang Xingcai returned to the Zhang Clan to ask about her family's decision about whether they wanted to go to the higher realms or stay. Meanwhile, Long Qiu and Long Zhan also returned to the Long Clan, for they couldn't possibly leave their family just like that.
Lian Bing and Ling Ling decided to return to the Lotus Sect, especially since Ling Yun planned to bring some of the core disciples with them. Wen Qing also joined them, and she wanted to meet her master, Xue Xing.
Ling Yu'er decided to go to the Huo Clan to say goodbye, and she also planned to return to the Ling Clan to see her father afterward, but she didn't know if he had the desire to go to the higher realms. Even though Ling Ming was angry with her because of her relationship with Ling Yun, Ling Xiya still joined her cousin to go to their clan.
Feng Xing, Feng Xiu, Feng Qiong, Feng Yao, and Feng Qingge had already decided to go to the higher realms with Ling Yun, so they returned to the Feng Clan to say goodbye to their closest people.
Even though she had left the Angel Realm, Mariel decided to go there. She wanted to see her best friend, Sophie, one last time.
Situ Luan was also the same as them; she decided to contact her entire family to gather at the Situ Clan, and Ling Yun told her that she could bring her family if they really wanted to go with them.
At first, Philia and Fay had no intention of visiting their families, but Ling Yun forced them to meet them, especially since they might not see their family again, and they could only resign themselves to his wishes.
As for all the demons, Ling Yun decided to send them back to the demon realm for a while, especially Lillith, who had a big responsibility as the queen of the succubus.
Meanwhile, all the women from the outside world remained in Yunlong Zuzhai, especially since Ling Yun had his own plans for them.

After they all left, Ling Yun asked Yi Mingxia and the others to wait for him first, and he took Ling Xi and Su Xin to meet four of his slaves.
Even though they had met many times, Su Yuan and Su Xin never spoke to each other, and her expression became ugly when she saw her daughter holding a sword. She then turned to Ling Yun as she muttered in her heart. 'Is he really going to let her kill me?'
Seeing that, Ling Yun immediately restricted Su Yuan's movements, which made her expression even worse, and he spoke to Su Xin. "You can do anything to her, and I won't stop you if you want to kill her."
Nangong Ying'er, Xuanyuan Xiang'er, and Fei Xue were utterly shocked when they heard Ling Yun's words. They didn't expect that he had the heart to let Su Xin kill her biological mother.
Su Xin nodded and walked closer to her mother, and her grip on her sword hilt became stronger. After she arrived in front of Su Yuan, she spoke to her via voice transmission. 'You killed my father and made me mute! Even though you are my mother, I really hate you from the bottom of my heart! Luckily, my master found me and gave me the opportunity to become a cultivator, and I have the opportunity to kill you with my own hands now.'
After she said that, Su Xin mercilessly thrust her sword into Su Yuan's chest, and her attack pierced right through her heart, causing blood to flow out of her mouth and chest. "Ugh!"
'Damn it! I've cultivated for so long, and I've used countless people to fulfill my goals, but now I have to die at the hands of my own daughter.' Su Yuan regretfully spoke in her heart, and her expression became even more filled with pain as Su Xin twirled her sword, causing her vision to darken and her consciousness to quickly disappear.
Without waiting long, Su Yuan finally died at the hands of her own daughter, and Su Xin pulled her sword out of her chest, letting her corpse fall to the ground.
Ling Yun then walked over to Su Xin, rubbed her head, and asked her. "Are you relieved now?"
'Yes.' Su Xin answered as she nodded. 'Since I've taken my revenge on him, you can send me back to the cultivator realm.'
Ling Yun sighed softly, listening to her words. He then lifted Su Xin's chin and looked directly into her eyes. "Don't you want to go with me to the higher realms? Moreover, you already have no other family in this world, and you can stay safely with us, so I think it would be better if you joined us."
After she heard that, Su Xin did not immediately reply to Ling Yun, and she continued to stare at him as she fell into deep thought. A few minutes later, she finally nodded and spoke to him. 'All right, I will join you, and I will continue to stay beside you to serve you.'
"That's good." Although Ling Yun did not intend to register Su Xin as a member of his harem, he also did not have the heart to leave her alone in the Cultivator Realm, so he felt very satisfied with her answer.
After that, Ling Yun turned to Nangong Ying'er, and she immediately took several steps back in fear that he would kill her.
"You- Ugh!"
Nangong Ying'er had not finished her words, but Ling Yun had already moved in front of her and strangled her neck tightly. "Honestly, I have really enjoyed our time together over the past few years, but you have made a fatal mistake with your evil plans against Xingcai, and I will never spare anyone who has evil intentions towards any of my women."
"No- Argh!"
