Ling Yun embraced Yun Shengxia and Yun Jingqiu before leading them to meet their three sisters, with Cai Hong and Yue Lian following behind them.
"What about you two? There are many single men in the fortress, and many of them are your age, right? Are you two interested in any of them?" Instead, both Yun Shengxia and Yun Jingqiu pursed their lips as a response to Ling Yunâs Questions. "Why do you guys like this?"
Yun Shengxia hugged Ling Yunâs left arm. "Father, I know you want to get married and build our own family, but we are still young now, and we havenât thought about getting married."
"In fact, we never thought about getting married, Father." Yun Jingqiu said this, hugging Ling Yunâs waist. "We want to be your baby girls forever, and we will accompany you and our mothers for the rest of our lives."
Ling Yun turned to her first daughter. "Qiuâer, even if you two get married, you guys will always be my baby girls, soâ"
"No!" Both Yun Shengxia and Yun Jingqiu shouted at Ling Yun. "Father! We never wanted to get married, so please donât ever force us to, okay?"
"Butâ"
Yun Jingqiu covered Ling Yunâs mouth with her hand. "Have you forgotten your words, Father?"
"Father, you told us that we could make our own choices in life, remember?" Yun Shengxia joined in. "Youâre a man of your word, so you canât go back on that now, okay? Sister Qiu and I will never get married, and we will always accompany you and our mothers."
Cai Hong and Yue Lian, who were walking behind them, could only shake their heads as they listened to Yun Shengxia and Yun Jingqiu. Since they became their contract beasts, they had lived together for years, so they were familiar with their feelings.
Ling Yun himself was fully aware of Yun Shengxia and Yun Jingqiuâs feelings, but he had long since decided never to touch his daughters, let alone take them as members of his harem. "Alright, I wonât force you two to marry if you donât want to. However, your two mothers and I still hope you two will change your minds in the future, andâ"
"No! We will never change our minds!" Yun Shengxia and Yun Jingqiu spoke with determination, making Ling Yun feel completely helpless.

Soon, they arrived at another location, where everything was frozen by the cold of the Frostmoon Domain. They saw Lian Ziyue there, her eyes closed, floating in midair.
Unlike his two daughters, Ling Yun could see that his youngest daughterâs body was continuously absorbing the ice qi from the surrounding area, and her absorption rate was increasing with each passing second.
Ling Yunâs other wives who possessed the ice element, including Lian Bing, Ling Ling, Xue Jing, Bai Zhongyi, Wen Qing, Xiao Xiao, Tang Wan, Mu Lingxue, Bing Xue, and some others, also cultivated there. Apart from them, the disciples of the Lotus Sect from Earth or the Sky Cloud Realm cultivated around them.
Ling Yun checked another area, and he found that the ice cultivators who previously stayed in the fortress had also come out to gather in that area.
Meanwhile, Xuanyuan Xueâer and Meng Xianzi stood aside, watching over their two daughters, Xuanyuan Yue and Meng Keâer. Even though the two little girls didnât have the ice element, their mothers wanted them to get used to any situation and condition, including cold temperatures.
"Father, itâs too cold here!" Yun Shengxia spoke as she leaned closer to Ling Yun, as did Yun Jingqiu, who was also shivering from the cold temperature.
Ling Yun immediately enveloped them with his fire qi, dispelling the cold so they wouldnât catch a chill. "Itâs not cold anymore, right?"
"Yes." Yun Shengxia and Yun Jingqiu nodded at him. "How can Sister Keâer and Sister Yueâer endure training here, Father?"
"Watch them carefully." Ling Yun pointed to Xuanyuan Yue and Meng Keâer. "Theyâve already enveloped their bodies with their qi, and your two mothers were also helping them, so they could withstand this cold."
"Oh!" Yun Shengxia and Yun Jingqiu exchanged a glance, and both immediately enveloped their bodies in their qi before joining their two sisters. "Please cover us, Father!"
Ling Yun was overjoyed to see his two daughters so enthusiastic in their training, and he went over to his two wives, watching them train while discussing some things.
In the end, Ling Yun accompanied all of his children for half a year, or 18 days, in the outside world, including attending the weddings of his three sons with their contract beasts.
Afterward, Ling Yun brought Zhou Yu and all his wives, who had not yet reached the Five God Realms, into the Chaos Dragon Dome, where they dual cultivated until they all achieved that stage.

One of Ling Yunâs clones, cultivating in the Void Realm, suddenly detected Huang Lingzhuâs presence. He immediately opened his eyes and went to meet her in front of the portal to the Primordial Realm. "Have you managed to find Yuan Shijia?"
"Not yet." Huang Lingzhu then activated the portal. "Iâll check inside first."
"Wait!" Huang Lingzhu turned to Ling Yunâs clone with a frown. "Take me there."
"There was nothing in that realm, and everything has fallen apart now."
Ling Yunâs clone nodded slightly. "Even though that place has been completely destroyed, there are still lots of rare materials there, right?"
"Hmm?" Huang Lingzhu did not refute Ling Yunâs clone. "What do you want to do with those materials?"
"Why do you always think so foolishly?" Ling Yunâs clone turned the question around with a shake of his head. "Naturally, we need weapons and equipment for our final battle, and we also still have to deal with those devils once and for all. Additionally, I want to build several gates to connect all the domains, so it will be easier for us to monitor everything."
"Gates?" Huang Lingzhu frowned deeply. "Do you really think you can build them?
"Why not?" Ling Yunâs clone replied with a shrug. "Once I defeat Chaos and take over his position, and Zhou Yu obtains the power of the void spirits before her, it wonât be a difficult problem for us, right?"
Huang Lingzhu was stunned for a while because Ling Yun was overconfident in defeating Chaos, especially with his cultivation still in the Five God Realm and not yet becoming the new Primordial Chaos Dragon.
Ling Yunâs clone shook his head slightly. "I understand your thoughts, but I am confident that we will win against Chaos."
