Quickly, a week passed at the Yunlong Zuhzhai.

Ling Xi and a few other women, who had been waiting for a week, saw a barely visible white aura enveloping Ling Yun’s body, making them smile in relief.

Zhan Kongqi could only shake her head at the sight. After all, the air element was a rare element, and it was incredibly difficult to obtain. However, Ling Xi gave her the method taught by Nu Yuanshi to help Ling Yun, and the results were before their eyes.

[Ding]

[The host obtained the air element.]

[The host’s air element has reached the lower rank.]

Ling Yun still had not opened his eyes, especially since he still had to do the next thing, which was to form his air Qi core. In a few minutes, a barely visible white pillar emerged from his body and rose into the sky, which shocked the elves. Gradually, the green pillar shrank and formed a green ball, which was his air Qi core.

Ling Yun’s colorful Qi core suddenly flew out of his body, and it instantly absorbed his air Qi core, merging them into one. Thereafter, he began to form his air Qi soul, and it didn’t take him long to do so, especially since he had already formed eleven souls before.

"Twelve souls," Dongfang Qinzhi muttered softly.

"What did you say? Does this kid have twelve souls?" Zhan Kongqi asked in shock.

Unlike Zhan Kongqi, Bai Xuanyue and Liao Shuzhen already knew Ling Yun’s uniqueness, and he was the only living being in their universe who possessed so many souls, so they were not surprised to hear that.

Dongfang Qinzhi nodded slightly. "Ling Yun has eleven cultivation souls, and he also has a special soul."

"How can he have eleven cultivation souls? Is it because he has eleven elements? What do you mean by his special soul?"

"Isn’t that obvious?" Dongfang Qinzhi shook her head. "He created his twelve cultivation souls based on the number of his elements, but he can combine them into a single soul. As for his special soul, I won’t talk about it without his permission, especially since it’s unique."

"He’s insane." Zhan Kongqi muttered to himself. "How strong is each of his souls? How strong would his twelve souls be if combined?"

"If they were separated, each of their souls would be at the saint soul level, but their strength would be at the godly soul level if combined."

"The godly soul level." Zhan Kongqi was shocked again because Ling Yun was still too young to reach that level, but he could already do it. "Is his soul power able to reach that level because he cultivated his twelve souls separately?"

"Yes," Ling Xi nodded at her. "The mistake of cultivators with two or more souls is to merge them into one, but my husband didn’t do that, and he cultivated all twelve souls separately, allowing his overall soul level to increase much faster than other cultivators."

Zhan Kongqi nodded in understanding. "What’s so special about his twelfth soul?"

"You don’t need to know that." Zhan Kongqi was annoyed because Ling Xi was so secretive with him.

Sometime later, Ling Yun had inserted his air soul and Qi core into his soul and body. He opened his eyes, stood up, and spoke to Zhan Kongqi. "Thank you for your help; otherwise, I might have failed to obtain the air element."

"No need." Zhan Kongqi waved her hand. "Since you’re done, I’ll go out to take a look at your domain."

Ling Yun jumped off the boulder and stood in front of Dongfang Qinzhi. Before she could escape, he hugged her waist and kissed her lips.

Ling Yun’s boldness in kissing Dongfang Qinzhi stunned Bai Xuanyue and Liao Shuzhen, especially since they were unaware of the progress of their relationship.

Bai Xuanyue and Liao Shuzhen were even more stunned when Dongfang Qinzhi hugged Ling Yun’s neck, kissed him back, and they shared a loving kiss. They knew that her soul had been tied to him because of Long Yun’s actions, but they didn’t expect their relationship to have gone that far.

"Hehe," Ling Xi chuckled and disappeared from the spot instantly.

Bai Xuanyue and Liao Shuzhen exchanged glances for a moment, and they followed the other women to leave the area, as they did not want to disturb Ling Yun and Dongfang Qinzhi.

After a while, Ling Yun separated their lips, rubbing Dongfang Qinzhi’s blushing cheek. "Why did you kiss me in front of them?"

"Haha," Ling Yun laughed. "You’re my woman, and they all know that, so there’s no harm in me kissing you in front of them, right?"

"Humph." Dongfang Qinzhi softly snorted. "I’ve accepted you as my man, but I haven’t accepted you as my husband, and you still have to fight to win my heart."

"No problem." Ling Yun hugged her waist and led her away. "I will conquer your heart in the future, and you will be my wife at that time."

Dongfang Qinzhi just smiled and did not comment on it. "Do you think it would be nice to have children?"

"Eh?" Ling Yun looked at her in surprise. "Are you thinking about having children?"

"In the past, I never thought about romance, let alone having children." Dongfang Qinzhi paused for a moment. "However, my life is a little different now, and I can see that Sister Ming is very happy with the birth of her daughter."

Ling Yun nodded slightly. "I have twenty-one children now, and their presence truly makes me much happier. That’s why I continue to train hard to improve myself, and I want to defeat Chaos for their future. Are you thinking about having children?"

"I do." Dongfang Qinzhi was not embarrassed to admit it. "It’s still just a thought, and I haven’t made a decision yet. Even if I can get pregnant using the methods from your home realm, I’m still not comfortable with the thought of becoming a mother."

"It’s okay; you don’t have to make a decision about that. Once our relationship deepens and you’ve fallen in love with me, you can think about it again then." Ling Yun looked at her. "If you want to have children with me at that time, I will ask Xiao Yin to help you, just like with Ming’er."

Dongfang Qinzhi nodded slightly, and a faint smile appeared on her face, imagining herself becoming a mother. "You should go see your wives who live here, and I’ll go see Bai Xuanyue and Liao Shuzhen."

"Alright." After Dongfang Qinzhi left, Ling Yun left his residence and headed for the Sect.

"Why are you two looking at me like that?" Dongfang Qinzhi asked the two women.

"I didn’t expect you to fall for him too, Qinzhi," Liao Shuzhen said with a teasing smile.

Bai Xuanyue asked her. "What happened between you two? Why did you let him kiss you, and why did you kiss him back?"

"Isn’t this all because of that perverted dragon?" Dongfang Qinzhi still regretted her stupidity in falling into Long Hun’s trap. "I’ve spent more than a week in his soul space, and he has told me many things, starting from his life as an ordinary human until now."

"Did you really dual soul cultivate with him after your souls bonded?"

Dongfang Qinzhi nodded slightly. "We’ve always done it since our souls were bonded. However, we didn’t have sex, and we only dual soul cultivated."

"Did he force you to have sex with him?"

"No," Dongfang Qinzhi denied. "He said he would never force me to have sex, and he would wait until I fell in love with him."

"Did you enjoy your time with him?"

"I did," Dongfang Qinzhi told the two women about their activities inside Ling Yun’s soul space. "Just like you two, I also don’t understand why Sister Ming was willing to accept him and have a child with him, but I can somewhat understand her feelings and decision now."

"Hey! Are you thinking about having children with him?" Bai Xuanyue asked with a serious look.

"I feel that falling in love isn’t as bad as I thought, and I’m curious about the feeling of being a mother." Bai Xuanyue and Liao Shuzhen were shocked when they heard that, and they looked at Dongfang Qinzhi in disbelief. "I do think about having children, but I won’t do it anytime soon."

Bai Xuanyue sighed. "I didn’t expect our arrival to cause you all this, Qinzhi."

"That’s true." Liao Shuzhen turned to Bai Xuanyue. "Fortunately, neither of us is as hot-headed as Qinzhi; otherwise, we would have fallen into Senior Hun’s trap."

"Yes." Bai Xuanyue nodded in agreement. "I would have exploded my core and soul if that had happened to me."

"You’re too extreme, Xuanyue."

Bai Xuanyue shrugged. "I’d rather die than be tied down to a man. Ling Yun does have a different future than other men because he’s Grandpa Hun’s sole heir, but I don’t want to be tied down to him, let alone have that kind of relationship with him."

"So, where’s Lingyun now?"

"He probably went to his sect, and he will ask us to accompany him to practice again later."

Ling Yun stood above the sect together with Xue Jing, Huang Zhimei, Tai Tianmei, and Xuanyin Yue, watching life in the sect become more stable.

"What are your next plans, husband?" Xue Jing asked.

Ling Yun sighed. "I’ll continue training while waiting for my mother and the others to complete their challenges in the tower. We’ll go to the Heavenly Star Sect to watch them compete when the time comes."

"After they return from the tower, they should be better prepared to take part in the competition."

"I hope so." Ling Yun turned to them. "Do you guys want to dual cultivate with me now?"
