Otherworldly-Cultivator

"No, I don't have that kind of feeling for Li'er." Dongfang Wenxin immediately denied one of her daughters' questions.

Unlike her twin sister, who was always naughty, Dongfang Hanxue understood her mother's feelings better, and she knew for sure that Dongfang Wenxin loved Chen Li like her son, so she couldn't possibly have such feelings towards him. However, their situation was different now, and her mother had lived alone for quite a long time after their father's death. "Mom, what do you think if you try to open your heart to accept Little Chen?"

"Huh? Are you-"

"Mom, we know what you're thinking." Dongfang Hanyue immediately stopped her mother while covering her mouth. "We are no longer on earth, and our lives in this realm are different from there, including our laws and norms as cultivators. Moreover, you will not be able to remarry, especially since you have already learned the Celestial Yin Technique and swallowed his yang qi. Based on that, we consider that you are already halfway to becoming his wife, so it would be better if you really became one."

"Yue's right, Mom." Dongfang Hanxue is persuading their mother again. "Your situation is like this now, so we think it is the best solution for you, and you will also achieve happiness like us. You are indeed his mother-in-law, but you two are not related by blood ties. Aside from that, he has several mother-and-daughter couples by his side, such as Aunt Xuan with Bei Yudie, so we don't mind if you become his wife as well."

"All right, you two don't need to behave like this." Chen Li shook his head as he spoke to the Dongfang Twins. "Moreover, my mother-in-law will forget that strange feeling sooner or later, and she just needs some time for that."

Dongfang Hanyue pouted her lips, listening to Chen Li's words. A naughty idea suddenly crossed her mind, so she immediately withdrew her hand and opened her mother's top dress, exposing her braless chest and slightly saggy breasts.

"Yue'er!" Dongfang Wenxin screamed as she tried to pull her dress up, but Dongfang Hanyue pulled it down even further instead, making her face completely red. She crossed her arms in front of her chest, especially since Chen Li was looking at her.

"Hahaha." Dongfang Hanyue laughed at her mother's expression. "Little Chen seems to like seeing you like this, so you should be proud of yourself, so you don't need to hide them from his eyes."

Dongfang Hanxue inwardly sighed as she shook her head, especially since her twin sister's nature was indeed too mischievous, and she too often did many unexpected things. She then stood up and grabbed Dongfang Hanyue's hand, forcefully pulling her out of their mother's tent, leaving them behind.

Chen Li then moved behind Dongfang Wenxin, causing her to panic as she thought that he would pounce on her. However, her thoughts were wrong because he pulled her dress up and helped her straighten it, making her feel relieved.

Chen Li then hugged Dongfang Wenxin from behind, but his action actually made her heart pound, especially when she remembered that strange feeling. "Mother-in-law, Big Sis Yue is indeed too naughty, and she always behaves as she pleases, so you don't need to mind her words. Since it's already quite late, I'll leave you now, so you can rest to prepare yourself for your training tomorrow."

"Wait, Li'er." Dongfang Wenxin spoke as she grabbed Chen Li's hand and asked him with an embarrassed look. "Can you accompany me to sleep?"

"Eh?" Dongfang Wenxin's request momentarily stunned Chen Li.

Seeing his reaction, Dongfang Wenxin stood up from her seat and pulled Chen Li onto the bed, and she then lay down on the inner side while pulling him to lie on her side before hugging him. "It's been so long since we slept together like this, but you were so small then, and you're already this big now."

"Haha." Chen Li laughed upon hearing this, as he had often slept alongside Dongfang Wenxin during his childhood, particularly during his overnight stays at the Dongfang House. She always treated him as if he were her own, especially since she didn't have a son. He then hugged her and rubbed her back as he spoke. "Indeed, time flies so fast, and the last time we slept together like this was a few days before I had that car accident. After that day, I never stayed over at your house again, so we haven't been like this for a long time."

"Yeah." Dongfang Wenxin responded with a slight nod. "Ever since you were a child, I've considered you my biological son, and we've spent a lot of time together, so I'm really sad that you can't remember me after that incident. I visited the Chen House repeatedly in order to help you remember me and my daughters, but our efforts yielded no results, leaving our relationship stranded like strangers, which further deepened my sadness."

After hearing that, Chen Li released a guilty sigh and hugged Dongfang Wenxin tighter. "It's all in the past, so you don't need to remember all those sad memories anymore. Moreover, I'm here now with my memories intact, so we don't need to look back at the past and focus on our future. Our future is still long, and we will stay together forever, so we have lots of time to build better and more pleasant memories."

"Yeah, you're right." Dongfang Wenxin replied as she snuggled closer to Chen Li's chest, smiling and enjoying the warmth of her body. "You're by my side now, and our relationship is much better than in the past, so I don't need to remember those bad memories anymore."

After that, the two hugged each other in silence, and Chen Li continued to rub the back of Dongfang Wenxin, whose expression looked confused. She suddenly remembered their first kiss when he took her out of her soul space, as well as Dongfang Hanxue's earlier act of exposing her body to him.

"Li'er."

"Yes?"

"Can you give me your yang qi now?"

"Sure." Chen Li immediately took out a bottle and gave it to Dongfang Wenxin. "Your cultivation is already on the verge of breaking through, and you'll definitely do so after swallowing it."

Dongfang Wenxin immediately sat on the bed, opened the bottle cap, and directly drank Chen Li's yang qi. The lotus bud in her consciousness absorbed his yang qi within seconds, causing qi fluctuations in her body. She immediately closed her eyes and focused on breaking through.

Chen Li also sat down and faced Dongfang Wenxin forward, and he pressed his palms against her back to help her break through by channeling his own qi into her body, relieving her because she had always found it difficult to break through on her own.

In another area, several shadows entered the bodies of the core disciples of the Mystic Moon Sect, but one of them was bounced away as soon as it tried to enter Xuanyuan Lingyan's body, and it immediately fled from that place.

Xuanyuan Lingyan, who was focused on cultivating, felt that, so she hurriedly opened her eyes to check the area around them. After finding nothing, she checked the condition of the female disciples, but she also didn't notice anything strange on their bodies. 'Could it be that I was too sensitive and made the wrong assumption? I felt something unusual just now, but I can't feel it anymore.'

Xuanyuan Lingyan immediately stood up and unsheathed her sword, and she gripped her sword tightly as she carefully walked towards the area right of them, which was the location of the ancient ruins, especially since she suspected that something came from there.

The female disciples opened their eyes shortly after Xuanyuan Lingyan left, but their vision was blank due to the shadows that had taken over their consciousness. Then, they rose to their feet and trailed behind her, fiercely suppressing their aura to prevent anyone else, including the two elderly men resting far away, from sensing it.

Meanwhile, Xuanyuan Lingyan had arrived at an area not far from the ancient ruins, but she didn't dare to go any further because she was afraid she would enter those powerful formations accidentally and wouldn't be able to return if that happened. "Where exactly did these ancient ruins come from? How did they end up in this forest? How could they be destroyed like this? Judging from their appearance, these ruins are probably thousands, or perhaps tens of thousands, of years old. Moreover, these ruins have already claimed too many victims, but no one has succeeded in solving the mystery within them. Instead, most of the people who entered these ruins have died or disappeared, and only a small part of them can come back alive."

Xuanyuan Lingyan let out a soft sigh and turned around to leave, but she immediately stopped in her spot after she saw those disciples, and their expressions also looked very strange.

"What- Ugh." Xuanyuan Lingyan had no time to ask them, as a shadowy hand suddenly came out from one of the ruins and strangled his neck from behind, and it immediately pulled her into the ruins without her being able to react.

Afterwards, the core disciples of the Mystic Moon Sect hurriedly caught up with Xuanyuan Lingyan, and they all disappeared within the ruin.
