Chapter 1139 Mai Lingyi
"Ling Yun is really too much! I haven't left my room for two and a half months since my soul dual cultivated with his soul! I'm really embarrassed to face Mu Xianyu and the others, especially since they should already know everything!" As Sheng Ming anticipated, the female immortals suppressed their laughter as soon as they saw her, causing the life goddess' beautiful face to turn completely red. 'Tch! They're annoying!'
After Sheng Ming disappeared, Mu Xianyu said to the others. "Judging from her attitude, she seems to have completely fallen for Ling Yun, and she will be the first immortal to fall in the arms of a human."
"Can Ling Yun still be considered human?" Mu Xianyu turned to Fen Hongyi. "He is Long Hun's sole heir, and he already has the true immortal energy in his body. He will become an immortal like us, and he might surpass us once he becomes the next primordial chaos dragon."
"I agree." Ai Qing said with a nod. "No matter how strong we are, our strength is meaningless in the face of chaos. Even Lingzhu's time abilities will be useless in front of Ling Yun, so I think he will be our leader in the future."
Shen Ying then asked them. "What do you think will happen if no one can fight Ling Yun? Long Hun is too perverted, and he is his sole heir. He seems fiercer and more lustful than his predecessor, so I'm afraid that he will force us to serve him."
Mu Xianyu and the others shuddered at the thought. "I haven't seen Lingzhu since Ling Yun finished breaking through."
"Lingzhu must be looking for Huang Hao now." They turned into a female immortal with short white hair who had just arrived. "We never thought about that before, and we only realized it after we listened to the conversation of the female beasts on Ling Yun's side. Her time abilities are useless against chaos, so she shouldn't be able to kill Long Hun."
"Do you think Long Hun allowed Lingzhu to kill him, Qin Dongwu?" Shen Ying asked.
Qin Dongwu nodded. "I think Long Hun did allow Lingzhu to kill him, but I cannot understand his reasons for doing that. Even though they act like cat and mouse, we know they love each other and have been together since the universe began, so I feel weird about that."
"Wait a minute." They all directed their gaze toward Mu Xianyu. "Long Hun is the son of Chaos, and our main enemy is Chaos itself. I suspect that he already knew about the danger long before Lingzhu, and he probably couldn't stop it, so he deliberately lured her to kill him."
"Why do you think like that?"
"Shouldn't the situation be clear?" Mu Xianyu's question confused Ai Qing. "Long Hun was powerful, but he only had the dark element, and he didn't have the Primordial Spiritual Veins. After I connected all the events in the past, he died not long after the foreign man told Lingzhu about the man with the nine elements."
Fen Hongyi nodded in agreement. "Lingzhu told Long Hun about it, and he had already realized his weakness against the Chaos. Since he couldn't stop his father, and he also knew her character by heart, he planned to die by her hands."
"That's right." Mu Xianyu then continued. "Long Hun knew that Lingzhu cherished this universe very much, and he knew that she would plan many things to stop the Chaos. He decided to put his hope in the man with the nine elements, and his only way was to commit suicide. However, he couldn't do that, so he decided to use her."
Qin Dongwu gave a slight nod. "Lingzhu's intervention led Luxuria's old partner to discover the primordial spiritual veins, but his body couldn't accommodate them. She guided them to find Long Hun's bloodline, and she orchestrated everything for the spirit of lust to meet Ling Yun. In the end, she gave both of them to him, and he became our last hope to stop the Chaos."
All of them took a deep breath after realizing the truth. "Lingzhu became doubtful about everything after hearing the conversation of the female beasts; Huang Hao was the closest person to Long Hun. She went to look for her, especially since she held the truth over everything."
After they had fallen silent for a long time, Qin Dongwu and the others exchanged glances, and pity for Huang Lingzhu flashed in their eyes.
"If all that is true, Lingzhu will be devastated if she finds out the truth." They agreed with Qin Dongwu. "She devised so many plans and manipulated several people in order to save this universe, but Long Hun manipulated her to kill him, and the truth will deal a big blow to her."
"Yeah."

Sheng Ming had already reached the northern outskirts of the mysterious realm. She pressed her palm forward, activated her qi, and immediately a portal appeared in front of her. Discover exclusive tales on empire
As soon as Sheng Ming entered, the portal immediately closed again, and he arrived at a colorful and refreshing place.
"Why did you suddenly come here, Sheng Ming?" A woman, who appeared to be in her early thirties, inquired softly.
The woman's figure was tall and slim, fine and delicate, and every inch of it was perfect. Her breasts were a bit too big, but her waist was slim and perfectly curved, and her hips were rounded and prominent. Her long hair cascades over her shoulders, and sunlight spreads out through her raven-black hair, exuding a hazy beauty.
Sheng Ming approached the woman and conveyed her purpose. "Mai Lingyi! A baby girl was born today, but she was born with mutated spiritual veins. This is the reason I've come to see you, and I'd like you to accompany me to assess her condition."
Mai Lingyi raised an eyebrow and suspiciously looked at Sheng Ming. "Who is that baby girl? Why do you care about her? Your attitude this time is different from your character, so I'm not going anywhere until you tell me the truth."
"The baby girl is the eldest daughter of my future husband." Mai Lingyi's eyes widened after Sheng Ming said that, causing the life goddess to smile bitterly. She then proceeded to explain her story, beginning with her encounter with Huang Hao and Long Hun's half-soul and ending with her falling into Ling Yun's embrace. "I never imagined this happening to me, but I've accepted my fate as his wife. Anyway, you should be aware of the risks, so you must not tell Lingzhu about Long Hun's half-soul."
"I know." Mai Lingyi then waved her hand, and an exit portal appeared before them. "Let's go see the baby."

Meanwhile, Ling Yun stood in front of the gate connecting them to the 84th floor. At first, he was confident that he could reach the 90th floor in a month, but a month had passed, and they had just finished clearing the 83rd floor.
"Do you know that you are becoming increasingly impatient?" Standing beside Ling Yun, Xuanyuan Xue'er posed the question. Even the senior cultivators of the supreme realm are unable to follow your wishes, especially since our enemies are supreme god-realm beasts. If you continue to force them to fight at full strength, they will eventually fall."
"You're right." Ling Yun let out a soft sigh and hugged Xuanyuan Xue'er. "My eldest daughter was born with mutated spiritual veins, and we have no solution to help her. The only person who can help her resides in the supreme realm, which is why I am eager to clear this tower. After I finish my business with Vadin, I will take you all into the supreme realm, and we will enter into seclusion for several years. Once I'm ready, I will find that person to help my daughter so that her siblings won't leave her behind."
Xuanyuan Xue'er nodded in understanding. "I don't know what it's like to be a mother, but I can understand your concerns about your eldest daughter. However, you can't continue like this, especially since your impatience will only make other people suffer."
"All right, we'll rest for a few days, and we'll continue our journey once they're fresh again." Ling Yun then asked her. "Do you want to be the mother of my children, Xue'er?"
"Yes." Xuanyuan Xue'er then hugged Ling Yun. "I never thought about being a mother in the past, but now that I'm your wife, I want to have a child with you. However, you already have five children now, and the road ahead of us is still very long with many obstacles waiting for us, so I don't want to have a child in the near future. Once I have the strength to protect our child, I am ready to be a mother."
"Haha." Ling Yun laughed upon hearing that. "Actually, it doesn't matter if we have children now or later, especially since my children will always be safe living in our residence. However, you are right about that, and we will have children after we can ensure that they can live safely outside. Anyway, I don't want to have one child with you but two, a boy and a girl. Our son will be handsome and suave like me, and our daughter will be as beautiful as you."
"Puchi." Xuanyuan Xue'er laughed out loud as she pushed Ling Yun back. "You're too narcissistic, you know? I like your idea, and we will have two children in the future."
