"Ten... ten times faster?" Shuang Meixue stuttered. "Are you kidding me, Sister? Where did my brother-in-law get such a great time formation? Iâve heard that the Heavenly Virtue Sect has such a time formation, but it can only speed up time in a small area by two times faster."
"Did you forget that Sister Ming is the Life Goddess?" Shuang Yuzhu embraced her sister. "If my husband could get her as his wife, he would certainly know the other immortals in legend."
"Well, thatâs true." Shuang Meixue agreed with that. "But who is the immortal who helped my brother-in-law install the time formation?"
"I heard from Sister Ming that the woman who helped my husband is the strongest immortal, and her name is Huang Lingzhu."
"Huang Lingzhu? The strongest female immortal?" Shuang Meixue became dizzy the more she found out about Ling Yun.
"I myself have never met Huang Lingzhu, but some of his wives have met her several times, and they say that she is the most beautiful woman in the universe."
"The most beautiful woman in the universe?" Shuang Meixue mumbled softly. "Can her beauty beat the beauty of the Lust Spirit and the Life Goddess?"
Shuang Yuzhu shrugged. "Iâve never seen that woman in person, and they couldnât show me her image either, so I donât know for sure about her beauty. So, what do you think about that? Do you want to cultivate in our residence?"
"Are you thinking of bringing me closer to my brother-in-law, Sister?" Shuang Meixue suspiciously asked.
Shuang Yuzhu grinned broadly. "Hey, youâre my only sister, so I want you to find the best husband so you wonât regret it for the rest of your life. My husband does have many wives, but he cares about us very much. You donât know him yet, so you might think badly of him. Thatâs why I want you to stay with us, and you can see the relationship between us with your own eyes. If you end up being attracted to him, I think it will be good for you. If youâre not attracted to him, I wonât force you to accept him."
"Are you really not going to force me to accept my brother-in-law, Sister?"
"No," Shuang Yuzhu replied with a shake of her head. "Even though I want you to be his wife, your life is your own, so you should be the one making the decisions for your future. By the way, did our father ever force you to take my place in marrying his best friendâs son?"
"Our father said that I wasnât suitable for Zhao Guangwu because I was too serious, and you were more suitable for him because you were both childish, so he never did that." Shuang Yuzhu pursed her lips after Shuang Meixue said that. "However, you are different now, Sister. You are no longer as childish as you were in the past, and I believe you have matured into a woman."
Shuang Yuzhu sighed. "Most of my husbandâs wives are mature women, and they have more experience in marriage than I do, so I canât continue to act as childish as I did in the past."
"Hehe," Shuang Meixue giggled and rested her head on Shuang Yuzhuâs shoulder, holding her hands. "Tell me more about my brother-in-law, Sister. How did you two first meet? Why did you finally accept him as your husband?"
Shuang Yuzhu smiled bitterly as she recalled her first meeting with Ling Yun, especially his aggressive behavior. However, she had changed after living with him and his other wives for years, which awakened unusual feelings within her.
Shuang Yuzhu sighed and began to tell Shuang Meixue, who listened with curiosity and seriousness. However, she didnât mention Ling Yunâs relationship with his other wives because she didnât know much about their past relationships, and she never tried to ask them.

"Mother."
Cui Xiaoyan looked at her two daughters. "Why are you two here? Do you guys need anything?"
"Mother, I want to bring my sister to live with me and my husband." Cui Xiaoyan raised her eyebrows slightly as she looked at her second daughter; she could see her blushing. "Mother, our residence has a special formation and it will be beneficial for my sister, so I hope you will allow her to stay with us."
"Tell me about the special formation."
"A time formation." Cui Xiaoyan looked at Shuang Yuzhu in shock. "The time formation in our residence is not an ordinary one, and the flow of time there is ten times faster than in the outside world, soâ"
"Ten... Ten times faster! Are you serious about that, Yuzhu?"
"Do I need to lie to you about that, Mother? Iâve lived with my husband for almost two decades now thanks to the time formation."
"Where did Ling Yun get the time formation?"
"Sister Ming has a friend named Huang Lingzhu, and she is the best expert in time formations in this universe. In fact, she not only helped my husband create a time formation in our residence, but she also installed one in the southern region of the Forgotten Starfall Domain."
"Does that mean Huang Lingzhu is an immortal like the Life Goddess? Is she also Ling Yunâs wife?"
"Yes! Huang Lingzhu is the Time Immortal." Cui Xiaoyan took a deep breath after hearing that because her son-in-law was too extraordinary, and he had a relationship with the immortals in the legends. "Sheâs not one of my husbandâs wives, and he hates her for some reason."
"Hate her?"
Shuang Yuzhu nodded. "My husband still harbors hatred for Huang Lingzhu, but I will not discuss that matter with the two of you because it is his personal matter. So, can my sister live with us?"
"Tell me one thing, Yuzhu." Cui Xiaoyan glanced at her second daughter, but Shuang Meixue averted her gaze from her. "Are you thinking of matchmaking your sister with your husband?"
"Yes," Shuang Yuzhu admitted. "However, I will never force my sister to accept my husband, and I will let her decide her future. If she falls in love with him, I will be happy with that, and she will be his wife. If such feelings do not grow in her heart, I will never force her to accept him."
Cui Xiaoyan nodded in understanding as she looked at her second daughter. She didnât know what had happened to Shuang Meixue, but her intuition told her that her second daughter already had an interest in Ling Yun. She had no problem if her second daughter fell in love and became his wife, especially since her son-in-law was far better than the men out there. "Alright, you can bring your sister to live with you, and I will explain everything to your father."
"Really, Mother? Can I really live with my sister?" Shuang Meixue asked with excitement.
âMy guess was right! Meixue indeed has an interest in Ling Yun!â Cui Xiaoyan nodded at her. "You can stay with them, and you have to cultivate more diligently so you can reach your sisterâs level soon."
"Hehe," Shuang Meixue hugged her mother. "I will definitely cultivate diligently! I will prove to you that I can reach my sisterâs level soon!"
Cui Xiaoyan smiled and patted her head. "You said it yourself, so you have to keep it. Do you understand? If I find you slacking off, I will take you back to our clan. I will also marry you to my friendâs son, and you canât refuse that."
âTch!â Shuang Meixue pursed her lips and released her embrace from her mother. "I donât want to marry your friendâs son, and I will choose my own husband in the future."
"Does that mean you want to marry your brother-in-law?" Cui Xiaoyan teased her.
Shuang Meixueâs face turned red from ear to ear, and she immediately pulled her sister away. "Letâs go back, Sister!"
Cui Xiaoyan sighed to herself as she watched her two daughters leave. "I never thought that both of my daughters would fall in love with the same man. If my husband knew this, he would die of high blood pressure."

When they returned to the Shuang Clan, Shuang Meixue remembered something and asked her sister, "Sister, what was the liquid you gave me earlier? Why is that liquid so thick but tasteless?"
"Oh! I almost forgot something!" Shuang Yuzhu touched her sisterâs forehead and imparted the Yin-Yang Art and the Yin-Yang Reversal Technique. "You can learn the first technique to cultivate my husbandâs yang qi that you drank earlier."
Shuang Meixue almost tripped and looked at her sister with wide eyes. "Are... are you kidding me? Is... is that liquid really my brother-in-lawâs yang qi?"
"Yes," Shuang Yushu took out a few bottles of Ling Yunâs yang qi and gave them to her sister. "You can have them and cultivate his yang qi with that technique."
Shuang Meixue was completely shocked. She didnât expect her sister to force her to drink Ling Yunâs yang qi. "Sister, youâ"
"Donât fret, okay?" Shuang Yuzhu hugged her waist. "My husband is not an ordinary cultivator, and his yang qi is very beneficial to you, especially your body. Even though youâve swallowed his yang qi, that doesnât mean you have to accept him as your husband, and you can decide your own future."
"Is... is that okay?" Shuang Meixue held the bottles tightly.
"Uhm." Shuang Yuzhu nodded. "Actually, there are some women who cultivate using their yang qi, but they are not his wives. He himself has no feelings for them, and he gives his yang qi to them to help them. After all, this universe is facing great danger, and he needs the help of many people to stop it."
"Danger?"
