"I know that." Nangong Nichang sighed softly before continuing. "However, I have to improve my cultivation faster, or my family will push me aside if I still haven't reached the King Realm when I reach 21 years old, and they will also stop providing any support for my cultivation."
"The standards in the upper realms are indeed very high, but Nangong Yuhai is such an idiot if he really does that to you." Nangong Nichang looked at Zhou Yu in surprise, especially since that was his father's name. "You don't need to look at me like that; I'm too familiar with this realm and all its inhabitants, and all the clans here are not much different from your Nangong Clan, except for the Tian Clan."
Nangong Nichang nodded in agreement. "I know the world of cultivation is cruel, but I feel that the senior cultivators in our clans are too cruel to younger generations like us. They always praise and support us if they think we have good talent and a bright future, but they will excommunicate us if they think we are useless. However, the younger generation of the Tian Clan is really lucky, as their seniors never make a big deal about such a thing, and they will always support their clan members."
"In fact, the old Tian Clan is no different from the other clans, and they also attach great importance to their talents, but they changed after Tian Long was born in their clan." Nangong Nichang was curious about that, for she didn't know much about the clan's history. "At first, he didn't seem to have any great talent, and he was still very weak after he passed his teenage years, but he was actually a late bloomer cultivator. Even though his seniors considered him a failure, he never gave up on his future, and he continued to train without their support. In the end, he changed a lot once he turned thirty, and his talent started to make them doubt their standards, especially after he defeated all of the best talents in their clan."
"Was he the one who turned the Tian Clan into what it is now, Senior?"
"Yes." Zhou Yu nodded and continued the story again. "After that, the seniors of the Tian Clan tried to persuade Tian Long to return to their clan, but he rejected their request outright, and he decided to wander the many realms to gain experience, which made him very powerful. After he visited so many realms and became confident in his abilities, he returned to their clan to challenge the patriarch and elders at that time, and they defeated all of them single-handedly. After that, he became their leader, and they were no longer considered talents as everything."
Nangong Nichang sighed heavily after she heard that and muttered softly. "Can I be like that senior?"
"As long as you don't give up on yourself, you can do it." Zhou Yu said it to encourage her. "What do you think of my husband? Do you think he has great support from his clan?"
"Yes." Nangong Nichang replied with a nod. "Otherwise, he couldn't possibly cultivate that fast, right?"
"Haha." Zhou Yu laughed at her answer. "Little girl, you are wrong if you think that he is like that."
"Then how was he able to reach his current cultivation so quickly?"
"To tell you the truth, he doesn't have the backing of a clan, nor has he ever joined a sect before, but he is a dual cultivator."
"Huh!" Nangong Nichang gasped when she heard that. "Is he really a dual cultivator?"
Zhou Yu simply nodded at her. "In fact, he cultivated much later than you, but-"
"What?" Nangong Nichang shouted in shock, but she immediately whimpered in pain when she moved slightly. "Ugh! My injuries really suck! Does that mean he has many wives? After all, a dual cultivator cultivates using Yang and Yi Qi, right? So he couldn't have become strong so quickly if he didn't have many wives."
"Yeah, he has dozens of wives by his side now."
"Do... dozenz of wives?" Nangong Nichang stuttered in shock. "Then... then why are you willing to marry him? You're obviously much stronger than him, and you should be able to find a better partner than him."
"There is no better man than him, and he was the first man who made me feel love, so I didn't mind his relationships." Nangong Nichang fell into deep thought after she saw Zhou Yu's proud smile. "Even though we have to share him with many women, all of us are very happy to be with him, and our relationships are excellent."
"Honestly, I really can't understand your decision or that of his other woman, and I find it strange to have such relationships." Nangong Nichang said it with a soft sigh. "Since I was little, I only focused on my cultivation because I was afraid of being ostracized by my clan, so I didn't have time to think about my feelings, and I never fell in love with anyone."
"Doesn't Dongfang Xu love you?"
"Eh? How did you know about that?" Zhou Yu didn't answer her question and winked at her, making Nangong Nichang a little suspicious of her. "I know that Xu loves me, but I don't have the same feelings as him, and I only consider him as my brother, so I've rejected him."
"I see." Zhou Yu then spoke to her again. "Don't worry, a man will definitely open up and enter your heart one day, and you will understand my reasons for accepting my husband at that time."
Instead, Nangong Nichang fell silent after hearing that, for she never thought about relationships and love, and she only cared about her cultivation.
Zhou Yu then told her again. "If we love someone, then we must accept that person wholeheartedly, including their shortcomings."
"I know." Even though she had never fallen in love, Nangong Nichang was old enough, so she could naturally understand that. "Anyway, I'm curious about you, Senior."
Hearing that, Zhou Yu smiled and asked her. "What makes you curious about me?"
"Who exactly are you?" Nangong Nichang asked with a raised eyebrow. "Your appearance is still like a girl at my age, but you know so many things about the people and clans in this realm, including the history of the Tian Clan, and you also know my father."
"Do you want to know the answer?"
"Yes."
Zhou Yu then stood up from her seat before turning into an adult woman. Unlike her usual form, she looks very mature and gorgeous, and her mature body is almost comparable to Ling Xi's, but the aura that radiates from their bodies is completely different.
If Ling Xi's aura exuded playfulness and lustfulness, Zhou Yu's aura was much different from hers, and her aura exuded dignity and lethality; even Nangong Nichang trembled before her presence.
Zhou Yu's figure was really tall and voluptuous; her long and slender neck looked beautiful; and her skin was much smoother than before. The most important thing is that her breasts are not inferior to Ling Xi's, and both are absolutely round and firm, plus her rears are also buxom.
Nangong Nichang's eyes widened after she saw Zhou Yu's true form. "You... you..."
"Shh!" Zhou Yu put her index finger to her own lips, signaling Nangong Nichang not to shout. "My husband doesn't know my other identity, and he has never seen my true form before, so you better not shout, or he will be able to hear you."
"En." Nangong Nichang nodded as she covered her mouth with both hands, but her expression clearly showed that she was still very shocked. 'This is simply ridiculous! How could a woman like her be willing to share a husband with so many women?'
"Hehe." Zhou Yu giggled and returned to her usual form. "I don't want people looking for me, so you better not tell anyone about my identity, okay?"
"Yes." Nangong Nichang asked her again. "Why did you disappear from the upper realms for so long, Senior?"
"Honestly, Zhou Yu is my real name, and my other identity is just my disguise." She casually explained it to her. "In the upper realms, only a few people know about my two identities, and the Tian Clan is one of them. Since I felt bored with these realms, and I also had a special task based on my original identity, I went around this universe, including the Supreme Realm."
"What is your true identity?" Zhou Yu answered Nangong Nichang's question by opening the void, which caused her to be even more shocked, and she immediately realized her true identity. "Huft! Both of your identities are truly terrifying, Senior."
"Remember, don't tell anyone, okay?"
"I promise, I won't tell anyone."
"Good."
*Tap... Tap...*
They immediately turned towards the footsteps, and Nangong Nichang looked at Ling Yun with a strange look, especially after her conversation with Zhou Yu just now.
Zhou Yu then asked him. "Why did you come back suddenly? I thought you still wanted to fight with those beasts."
"I came back because I felt something strange from Xiao'er, and you are the only person who can protect us." Ling Yun replied as he opened a portal to the Yin-Yang Chamber, and he immediately brought Xiao Xiao out from inside, but the red and light blue auras that enveloped her body continued to glow.
Without thinking twice, Zhou Yu created an even stronger void wall. "Xiao Xiao will wake up soon."
