"Zhii!" A middle-aged woman shouted as she ran towards Huang Zhii and the others, followed by a middle-aged man, a young man, and a young woman.
Huang Zhii smiled wryly at her. "Ling Yun, she is my mother, Xiao Huan."
"I see." Ling Yun nodded in understanding and checked their cultivation one by one, but he suddenly felt a murderous gaze from another area. He imdiately checked that area with his void eyes, finding a young man and a young man standing side by side there. He imdiately ignored them, especially since Xiao Huan had already arrived in front of them.
"Huh?" Xiao Huan wanted to hug Huang Zhii, but she was surprised by Yun Jingqiu in her embrace. "Who is this little girl? You've only been away for three and a half months, yet you've returned carrying a little girl."
"Mother, she—"
"Grandma, nice to et you. My na is Yun Jingqiu, but I'm not a little girl anymore, and I'm already nine years old." Yun Jingqiu then pointed to her father. "He is my father and Mother Zhii's husband, Ling Yun."
Huang Zhii's father and the others almost fell over after they heard Yun Jingqiu call her a mother. Moreover, she said that she was her father's husband, even though they were not married.
Xiao Huan imdiately stood in front of Ling Yun, cupped his face, and seriously observed him. She then observed her body up and down, nodding in satisfaction several tis. "Hahaha! I didn't expect my daughter to fall for you, but you are indeed the most suitable man to be her husband. I've heard so things about you from Tian Jianshen, but you are more handso and stronger than he told . If I weren't married, I would definitely fall for you too."
"Wife! What did you say?" Huang Zhii's father asked in a high voice.
'He is my father, Huang Xiaotian.' Huang Zhii spoke to Ling Yun via voice transmission.
Xiao Huan turned to her husband. "I was just joking, so you don't have to take it seriously, okay?"
"You—"
"If you dare to be angry with , I will let you sleep in the guest room for a month, and I will not cook your favorite dishes." Huang Xiaotian smacked his mouth as soon as Xiao Huan said that, and his expression imdiately softened like he was begging, making Huang Zhii and the others laugh at his antics.
"Hehehe." Yun Jingqiu giggled at that. "Grandpa, you are too timid, not like my father."
If soone else said that, Huang Xiaotian would be furious and attack her directly, but Yun Jingqiu's cuteness dampened his anger. "Little Jingqiu, you don't know how scary my wife is when she's angry, and she—"
"Shut up!" Huang Xiaotian shivered at his wife's glare, but Xiao Huan imdiately took Yun Jingqiu from Huang Zhii. "I have prepared delicious dishes for all of you, and I am sure that you will like them, especially my goose dishes. Zhii, bring Ling Yun inside, and we will eat together before discussing anything else."
Huang Xiaotian just shook his head watching his wife leave. "Look at your mother; she is so old, but she keeps threatening like a child."
"Haha!" The young woman behind Huang Xiaotian suddenly laughed. "Father-in-law, you better not talk like that, or my mother-in-law will really punish you if she hears it."
The young man imdiately spoke. "Father, our fates are really similar, i Ning also—"
"Shut up!" i Ning shouted at her husband, Huang Zhigang. "You will sleep in the guest room if you dare protest!"
Huang Zhigang covered his mouth with both hands imdiately, and he shook his head vigorously at i Ning, who smiled triumphantly. "I'm going in now to help my mother-in-law, so you guys can talk to my brother-in-law."
Huang Xiaotian and Huang Zhigang released sighs of relief as soon as i Ning left, leaving Ling Yun amused by their antics. 'Are they always afraid of their wives?'
'Yes.' Huang Zhii nodded at him. 'My mother and sister-in-law are really scary when they get angry, and their anger will not subside for days, sotis even weeks. Therefore, my father and big brother are always afraid of them, and they often run away like frightened rabbits.'
Huang Xiaotian suddenly grabbed Ling Yun's shoulder. "How did you manage to win my daughter's heart? For thousands of years, I kept telling her to get married, but she never listened to , so I was shocked when Tian Jianshen told that she had already chosen her future husband."
"Brother." Huang Zhigang called out and stood in front of Ling Yun. "You have to be careful of my little sister, she—"
"Shut up!" Huang Zhii shouted while glaring at her big brother. "If you dare to say a word, I will report you to my sister-in-law, and I will ask her to ground you for a whole month."
Huang Zhigang shrugged his shoulders. "You've seen it yourself, right, brother? My little sister is no less fierce than our mother and my wife, so you have to be careful not to make her angry. Otherwise, you will sleep in the guest room for months."
"You—"
Ling Yun imdiately hugged Huang Zhii's waist intimately, causing her to blush. She tried to shake his hand, but he hugged her tighter. "Thank you for your concern, Brother. I know that she is a gentle woman, and I believe she will never be angry, let alone punish . Isn't that right, i'er?"
"Uhm." Huang Zhii nodded her head slightly with a blush on her cheeks, especially since she was afraid of Ling Yun punishing her. Although she enjoyed his punishnt, she was always exhausted by it.
Huang Xiaotian and Huang Zhigang were stunned to see Huang Zhii acting like a timid rabbit. They looked at Ling Yun in admiration, especially since he could make her like that.
Ling Yun glanced at the previous direction and asked them. "Uncle and brother, I want to ask about the young man in that area."
"Hmm?" Huang Zhii frowned and checked the area, but her expression turned irritated once she recognized the young man Ling Yun was referring to. "His na is Yao Linghua, and the woman beside him is his sect sister, Jiang Yinghua. Why are they in our clan, Father?"
"They ca with Yao Guang and his wife, Su Xing'an, and you should already know their purpose in coming here." Huang Zhii's face darkened as soon as Huang Xiaotian said that. "Your mother and I have already rejected their proposal, but they want to et you first."
"Father, you must—"
"Don't need to mind them." Ling Yun stopped Huang Zhii. "You are my wife, and I will not let them bother you. If they insist on doing so, I will wipe them out along with their clans."
Huang Xiaotian and Huang Zhigang frowned at that, but they rembered Tian Jianshen's story about Ling Yun's fight in the Snowy Death Forest, which made them believe that he could do such a thing.
Huang Zhii let out a soft sigh. "I didn't bring you here to kill, so you can ignore them. Let's go in; my mother is waiting for us."
"All right." Ling Yun imdiately followed Huang Zhii without caring about Yao Linghua's murderous glare at him.
Huang Zhigang spoke straightaway. "Father, you should talk to Uncle Yao and Aunt Su about this matter, so they can take his son away as soon as possible; otherwise, Ling Yun will really wipe them out."
"Yeah." Huang Xiaotian nodded at his son. "I will—"
Yao Linghua and Jiang Yingwu suddenly appeared in front of them. "Are you looking down on , Brother Zhigang?"
"I—"
Huang Xiaotian patted Yao Linghua on the shoulder and spoke to him. "My son does not look down on you, but Ling Yun's strength is beyond our reach."
"Uncle Huang, aren't you overestimating that brat's abilities?" Jiang Yingwu asked condescendingly. "Look at him, his cultivation is still at the Lower Emperor God Realm, so how could he possibly fight against cultivators at the Three Immortal Realms like us?"
Huang Zhigang wanted to scold Jiang Yingwu, but Huang Xiaotian stopped him. "I've conveyed the truth to you two, but your disdain for my words prompts to refrain from further discussion. By the way, my daughter has chosen Ling Yun as her husband, and I agree with her choice. Therefore, I hope you will stop bothering her; otherwise, you will have to deal with him, and I will not intervene if any issues arise between the two of you."
After he said that, Huang Xiaotian imdiately dragged his son inside, leaving Yao Linghua and Jiang Yingwu frowning.
"Are you going to give up on getting Huang Zhii?"
Yao Linghua glared at Jiang Yingwu, causing her to shudder. "Do you think I'm afraid of that snotty brat? Huang Zhii is mine, and I will do anything to subdue her, including killing him and his daughter."
"I see." Jiang Yingwu nodded in understanding. "Unfortunately, you can't do that here because Huang Xiaotian and Xiao Huan will stop you, and your parents won't be able to help you either. If you want to kill them, you have to do it outside, so we have to monitor their movents first."
Yao Linghua imdiately turned to leave, followed by Jiang Yingwu. He then took out a small device and contacted several people, surprising her. 'Whatever the cost, I must get Huang Zhii!'

In the dining room, Xiao Huan enthusiastically fed Yun Jingqiu, who thoroughly enjoyed the dishes.
"Ling Yun, why do you use the surna Yun for your daughter?" i Ning suddenly asked.
Ling Yun let out a soft sigh, as he did not want to rember his father anymore, but he still told them about his relationship with him and the Ling Clan. "Therefore, I don't want my children to have the Ling surna; instead, I prefer to use my own last na for their surna."
"Sister-in-law, no matter what their surnas are, they are still his children." i Ning nodded in agreent to Huang Zhii. "Actually, he doesn't mind if his children use their mothers' surnas, and he has already used the ng surna for one of his daughters."
"How many children do you have now?" Huang Zhigang asked him.
"I have six children with Qiu'er, and she is my first daughter." Ling Yun then told them about his other children.
Xiao Huan imdiately spoke to him. "Ling Yun, Zhii will be your wife soon, so we are family. Moreover, I like little children so much, so you should bring them all here."
"All right." Ling Yun then looked outside. "I will bring them here, but I will do it after I have settled my business with Yao Linghua."
