Jing Qiuyue and Yan Yinqing looked at Zhang Fei [5], who was sitting in another area while observing the Dragon-Phoenix Soul Mirror.
"What will happen to us if our junior brother canât remove the mirrorâs effect, senior sister?" Yan Yinqing asked, looking at Zhang Fei [5].
Jing Qiuyue could only sigh and shake her head at Yan Yinqingâs question. "I donât know what will happen to us, but Iâm grateful that we wonât fall into the arms of that perverted old man. Even though I donât have feelings for our junior brother, I think it would be better if we fell into his arms than falling into the old manâs arms."
"Haish." Yan Yinqing wore a tangled look. "I donât want to fall into anyoneâs arms, be it our junior brother or that old man."
"Do we both have any other choice? We were too careless, and we didnât expect that old man to possess such a cultivation technique. He could use our shadows to influence us to this extent, and we couldnât do anything to dispel the effect." Yan Yinqingâs expression worsened after Jing Qiuyue made that statement. "I have never loved our junior brother, and I only love Qiao Liangren. If the situation forces me to choose, I will choose him rather than fall into the hands of that damned old man."
Yan Yinqing slouched at the table, and her eyes kept looking at Zhang Fei [5]. "Our junior brother is indeed handsome, and his cultivation has already surpassed all of us, including our master. Unfortunately, he has too many wives, and I canât accept that kind of man, so itâs difficult for me to accept him."
"You two should calm down; Iâm sure Zhang Fei [5] can find the best solution for both of you. You only need to give him time to find the solution, and you two donât need to be his women." Jing Qiuyue and Yan Yinqing turned to Shang Xueli. "Isnât my situation proof of that? My parents couldnât save me from Mo Shentian, even though my father was a demon god. However, your junior brother was able to save me from that endless hell, and he also restored my consciousness, so I believe he can free you two from the Dragon-Phoenix Soul Mirrorâs influence."
Jing Qiuyue nodded to her. "Our junior brother has never disappointed us so far, and I believe he will find a solution to stop the mirrorâs influence on us. That way, both of us donât need to be his women, and our relationship will remain as before."
"You have so much faith in our junior brother, huh?" Yan Yinqing sighed softly. "He has indeed done many impressive things, and his cultivation has surpassed all of ours. However, he is not omnipotent, and there are many things he cannot do. I wish he could free us from the mirrorâs influence, but I doubt he will find a way to do that."
Jing Qiuyue shook her head. "If he canât remove the mirrorâs influence from us, then weâll just have to become his woman, right? Even though I donât love him now, I might change after becoming one, so I didnât think too much about it."
"Hmm?" Yan Yinqing squinted her eyes as she felt suspicious of her senior sister. "Why do I believe youâve changed now, Senior Sister? Why do I believe youâre actually interested in our junior brother? Donât tell me youâve forgotten Qiao Liangren, and you are indeed interested in our junior brother."
"Youâre wrong about that." Jing Qiuyue denied her guess with a shake of her head. "My feelings for Qiao Liangren have never changed, but I have to accept the fact that he never loved me, and he only loves Yue Qinhua. Even though I donât have feelings for our junior brother, I can learn to love him, and I might fall in love with him later."
"Haha." Shang Xueli laughed at that. "Sometimes, life doesnât go according to our plans, and fate leads us to other choices. In the past, I loved my lover very much, but Mo Shentian killed him, and he forced me to marry Mo Zixiao. Although I am no longer pure, I am grateful because I am finally free from him, and all this was possible thanks to Zhang Fei [5]."
"What will you do after our junior brother frees you, Xueli?" Yan Yinqing curiously asked.
Jing Qiuyue also asked her. "Do you have any plans after our junior brother frees you?"
"Hmm?" Shang Xueli fell into thought. "For now, I donât have any plans yet, and I just want to be reunited with my parents. For the future, I still have to see what lies ahead, and I will decide then. By the way, are the two Zhang Fei his clones? Where is his real body now?"
Yan Yinqing nodded to her. "Our junior brother has five clones, and these two are among them. One of his clones is in your Asura Demon Domain doing something, and his other two clones are off taking care of things in other domains."
"His real body is with Qi Qingxiu, and he is accompanying the Seven Emotions Demon God." Shang Xueliâs jaw dropped when Jing Qiuyue mentioned this. "You might not know about this, but our junior brother is a lust demon."
Shang Xueli suddenly turned to Zhang Fei [5], especially since he did not have the characteristics of a demon. She had seen Zhang Xiaolong [3] in his half-beast form, and she thought that he was a fox beast, but it turned out that he was also a demon.
"Our junior brother is a unique individual because he is a human, a fox beast, and a lust demon." Shang Xueli returned her gaze to Yan Yinqing, who immediately shared Zhang Fei [5]âs two other forms with her. "Just see them for yourself."
Shang Xueli nodded and closed her eyes, but her expression turned to astonishment when she saw Zhang Fei [5]âs complete fox form, and she really liked his pure white fur. Soon, she opened her eyes again and looked at the two women. "How can he have three identities in one body? Iâve never seen a living creature like him, and heâs probably the only person who has multiple identities."
Both Yan Yinqing and Jing Qiuyue shook their heads at her, especially since they didnât know about it. "We were as surprised as you when we learned about his three forms, but we were already used to them. He wasnât as lustful as he is now, and he became extremely lustful after he turned into a lust demon."
"I see." Shang Xueli nodded in understanding and looked at Zhang Fei [5] again, who was still seriously thinking about how to free Yan Yinqing and Jing Qiuyue from the influence of the Dragon-Phoenix Soul Mirror. âPerhaps, he really does have the ability to unite all races, and he might be the only person who succeeds in doing so.â
Thereafter, the three women talked about other things, especially Zhang Fei [5]âs goals for the future after he successfully united all races.

"Who is this woman, Yaoâer? Why is she in such a condition?"
Feng Yao immediately explained the young womanâs condition to Feng Jiu, and she ordered Huo Ling to go to another domain to find out about the womanâs family. "She fell into the hands of a heretical soul cultivator, and he caused her to be like this. However, her condition is not a significant problem for me, and I can easily restore it."
"Who is the heretical soul cultivator you are referring to?" Feng Jiu asked again.
"His name is Hun Lingwu, and he is the leader of the Immortal Soul Palace in the Samsara Domain." Feng Yao touched the womanâs forehead. "Actually, many of my subordinates were victims of that heretic, but I forbade them from killing him because he still has an important role to play in the future."
Feng Jiu looked at her daughter curiously, but she knew that Feng Yao wouldnât tell her anything, so she chose not to ask her anything.
After some time, Feng Yao pulled her hand back from the young womanâs forehead, and she tried to wake her up.
"Mhmm..." The young woman slowly opened her eyes and looked at Feng Yao. "Where am I? Were you the one who saved me from that old man?"
"Yes." Feng Yao helped the young woman sit up. "Youâre safe now, and that old man wonât be able to remember you anymore. Youâre in my domain, the Blazing Nirvana Domain. The woman beside me is my mother, Feng Jiu."
"Eh?" The woman was surprised to hear that. "Are... are you Empress Huo Yanling?"
"I am the reincarnation of Huo Yanling." The young woman wanted to get off the bed, but Feng Yao stopped her. "I saved you because you are the granddaughter of Jun Wuyou and Lian Meiyun."
The young woman was truly grateful that Feng Yao had saved her. "I owe you my life, Empress Huo. My name is Jun Qingling, and Hun Lingwu kidnapped me when I was separated from my grandparents several years ago."
"I see." Feng Yao rubbed the mark on the young womanâs forehead. "I can recognize you because you have this birthmark, and the main members of the Jun Clan are the only ones who have it."
"Iâ"
"Master." Huo Ling appeared in the room. "Iâve brought the members of the Jun Clan here, and theyâre waiting for you in the main hall."
