Liao Yu walked into the bedroom with a disappointed look, took off her clothes, and lay down on the bed. She searched her smartphone for an old photo of Ling Yun, then rubbed the screen longingly. “You promised to explain things to me after I returned, but you’ve disappeared now, and I don’t know where to look for you.”

After that, Liao Yu immediately wrote a message and sent it to Ling Yun and Ling Ling, hoping that one would read it soon, for she missed them so much. “Sigh, I should rest for now, for I still feel jet lag after flying for so long.”

Meanwhile, Hua Yue and Mei Yi walked side by side into their campus, but both looked gloomy.

“Hey, Yue. Do you know where Ling Yun and the others went?”

Hua Yue nodded to her. “Yun and the others are not ordinary people; they went to a scary place far from our reach.”

Mei Yi turned to her in confusion. “What do you mean by that? And where did they actually go?”

Hua Yue glanced around them, pulled Mei Yi along, and sat together in a relatively quiet area. “Have you ever read fantasy fiction novels about cultivators?”

Mei Yi nodded. “I once read a novel about it, but it was just some bull**.”

“Back then, I also thought those stories were made up and weren’t real.” Hua Yue paused for a while and thought. “However, only after I met Invidia did I find out that cultivators and the like were real.”

“What?” Mei Yi exclaimed loudly and looked at Hua Yue in disbelief. “Are you serious about that?”

“Don’t I look serious?” Hua Yue asked back with a raised eyebrow, and she then told Mei Yi about her meeting with Invidia.

Besides, Hua Yue also told her that Invidia was the spirit of envy, which influenced her jealousy and envy towards Ye Jing, leaving Mei Yi dumbfounded after hearing everything.

“For your information, Yun and the others are cultivators. If my guess is correct, they all went to a place called the Cultivator Realm.” Hua Yue gave a heavy sigh after saying that. “However, I don’t know how to get to that place, so we can’t look for them.”

Mei Yi frowned and asked her. “If they are all true cultivators, then why don’t you become a cultivator like them? After all, Ye Jing is your twin sister, so she should teach you to be like them.”

Hearing that, Hua Yue’s expression turned sad, and she replied sadly. “According to Invidia, to become a cultivator, one must first have spiritual veins. I don’t have spiritual veins, so I can never become one.”

“Is that true?” Hua Yue nodded to her; Mei Yi then wrapped her arms around her. “However, wouldn’t it be better if we lived as ordinary humans?”

“No!” Hua Yue shook her head vigorously and pushed aside Mei Yi’s hand. “Don’t you also love him? Since he is a cultivator, we must also become cultivators to be with him, or he will never accept us as his women.”

Mei Yi was stunned to hear that but thought that Hua Yue’s words were true. After all, she had fallen in love with Ling Yun since the incident in the empty building and wished to be with him.

Since Ling Yun was no longer an ordinary man, Mei Yi also thought that becoming a cultivator was the only solution for her to be with him. Moreover, her mother had still not agreed to her request to cancel her engagement with Duan Pangzhi, and she thought that by becoming a cultivator, she could determine her own future.

Mei Yi then said with a disappointed look. “However, I read in the novel that a cultivator’s life is very harsh, and I’m sure we won’t be able to deal with it.”

“No matter what, I must become a cultivator; only then can I be with Yun.” Hua Yue replied with a determined expression. “Moreover, Jing is my twin sister, and I don’t want to part with her either.”

“Then what can you do?” Mei Yi asked with a low sigh. “You told me that to become a cultivator, one must have spiritual veins, and you don’t have them.”

Hua Yue immediately replied to her. “Actually, he has one technique that can turn me and my mother into cultivators, but he is still unwilling to use it on us.”

Mei Yi raised her eyebrows. “Why is that? If he really possessed such a technique, he should have used it on the two of you. After all, he is your brother-in-law, and your mother is his mother-in-law.”

Hua Yue sighed heavily and explained to her. “If he uses that technique on us, then we will become demons and be bound by a contract with him.”

“What!?” Mei Yi uttered a loud scream as she stood up from her seat, and her eyes locked onto Hua Yue in shock. “Are you kidding me? Can he really turn human into a demons? Isn’t that really terrible? If I were in your position, I wouldn’t ask him to do such a thing to me, for I don’t want to become a terrible demon.”

“Sit down first! And don’t shout like that!” Hua Yue said as she pulled Mei Yi to sit beside her again, and she then explained to her again. “Like I said, I don’t care whatever it takes; I must become a cultivator. Even if I have to become a demon to be with him, I won’t mind it. Unfortunately, he isn’t willing to turn us into demons, but he has already turned two women into demons.”

“Eh?” Mei Yi’s eyes widened in shock.

Hua Yue sighed lightly. “Those two women were already dead before, so he turned them into demons to bring them back to life.”

“I see.” Mei Yi nodded in understanding but was still very shocked to hear Ling Yun do such a thing to the two women. In her opinion, it would be better if he let them die rather than turning them into demons without their consent. “If I think about it now, is it possible that Zhang Bing and Yuan Meng are also cultivators? I’ve been looking for them since yesterday but couldn’t find them.”

“Yes.” Hua Yue replied with a nod. “Zhang Bing and Yuan Meng are indeed cultivators, but they have a Master, and their Master is one of his women.”

Mei Yi couldn’t help but shake her head after hearing that, especially since Ling Yun had already told her that he had several women. At first, she felt hesitant and disappointed by it, but she could never forget him. Moreover, the more she tried to forget him, the more she missed him.

Mei Yi then sighed softly and said. “Since we can’t go to that place, then we have no choice but to wait for Ling Yun to return first, and we will see him afterward.”

“Sigh, you are indeed right.” Hua Yue replied with a heavy sigh. “I don’t know when Yun will be back, but I hope he will be back soon.”

Mei Yi nodded in agreement, for she also couldn’t wait to meet Ling Yun again. ‘Will he be willing to teach me to become a cultivator?’

Meanwhile, two women were sitting facing each other in a room. One of the women continued to laugh contentedly, and the other woman glared at her with an angry look.

“Hahaha! I didn’t expect you to fall into Ling Yun’s hands and become his slave too, Nangong Ying’er!” Su Yuan said as she clutched her stomach.

Nangong Ying’er suddenly moved behind her and grabbed Su Yuan’s neck, and she then threw her against the wall as she cursed loudly. “How dare you laugh at me!”

“Heh!” Su Yuan used her feet to step on the wall behind her and counterattacked Nanggong Ying’er. They exchanged blows for a long time, causing the room’s items to tumble onto the floor and make everything a mess.

After a while, there was no winner between them, so they immediately stopped fighting and stood facing each other with narrowed eyes.

Su Yuan then sighed softly and asked her. “So, what’s your next plan? Are you going to continue living in this realm?”

“I have no other choice, right?” Nangong Ying’er replied with a shake of her head, then opened her top a little. “Moreover, Ling Yun can monitor us through this black dragon mark, and if we don’t do his bidding, then this mark will torture us.”

“Well, that’s true.” Su Yuan replied with an approving nod, and they then returned to their seats. “Anyway, how did you know Ling Yun?”

“Tch.” Upon hearing that, Nangong Ying’er gritted her teeth, but she still explained her relationship with Ling Yun to her.

“Hahaha!” Su Yuan laughed loudly at that. “I didn’t expect that you even used the services of a male prostitute, let alone Ling Yun was an ordinary man before. Anyway, I think another woman has fallen into his hands now.”

“Who is she?”

“Alea.” Su Yuan replied with a chuckle. “Danielle sent her to monitor Ling Yun, but I’m sure he must have noticed her by now.”

“Yes, Ling Yun must have enslaved Alea by now.” Nangong Ying’er then stood up. “Anyway, I’ll see Danielle first, for he wants more information about her.”

“All right. I also have to meet Lucas.” Soon after, the two of them disappeared from the room. ．
