"A female blacksmith, huh?" Ling Yun muttered under his breath, and he used his void eyes to check Yuan Yueli’s location, finding her seriously forging a large weapon. "Her abilities in blacksmithing are truly extraordinary; every swing of her hamr is extrely precise, and she has complete control over her strength when she strikes her hamr."
Xia Tian and Xiao Lu looked at Ling Yun in shock. "Can you really see Yuan Yueli from this distance, cousin-in-law?"
"My eyes are different from human eyes, and I can see whatever I want even from hundreds of miles, let alone such a close distance." Ling Yun then looked toward the location of the Xiao Clan. "Your servants are busy setting the dining table now, and they are preparing dozens of dishes. I think the middle-aged woman who instructed them was your mother, right? anwhile, a middle-aged man was playing chess with an old man in the back garden, accompanied by two small children."
Xiao Lu looked at Ling Yun in disbelief; even her eyes blinked repeatedly because of it.
Xia Tian found it difficult to believe, and he wanted to ask Ling Yun sothing, but he changed his mind because his expression clearly showed that he didn’t want to say anything.
Xiao Lu inwardly sighed and spoke to Ling Yun. "You’re right, cousin-in-law. The one instructing our servants was indeed my mother. The two n you saw in the back garden were my father and paternal grandfather, and those two little children were my sister’s children."
"I see." Ling Yun nodded slightly and looked at his five daughters, who stopped in front of a rchant. He imdiately approached them and asked what they wanted.
"Cousin, is your husband always like that?" Xiao Lu asked Huang Zhii, glancing at Ling Yun.
Huang Zhii looked at her cousin. "Haven’t you seen for yourself how my husband communicated with other people when we were in the Slaughter Heaven Domain?"
"Tch!" Xiao Lu gritted her teeth. "I know that, but I think he is too indifferent, making feel that he doesn’t like us. He has the life goddess as his wife, so people like us are nothing in front of his eyes."
"You’re wrong about that," Huang Zhii denied with a headshake. "You two may have t before, but you’re still strangers to each other, and he’s used to being that way with strangers. If you spend ti with him, you’ll find out that he’s actually warm and friendly."
"He—"
"Look at him, wife." Xia Tian stopped Xiao Lu and pointed at Ling Yun. "His attitude is very different from before; he’s so warm and loving towards his daughters. Therefore, I agree with Zhii; he is indeed acting indifferent because we are strangers in his eyes."
"Whatever." Xiao Lu imdiately walked away. "I’ll go ho first to help my mother, and we’ll wait for you guys at ho."
Xia Tian could only sigh at his wife’s departure, and he looked at Huang Zhii, who smiled in amusent. "Your cousin always likes that, and I often get overwheld by her tantrums."
"Hehe." Huang Zhii chuckled. "I’m used to Lu’er’s character, so I wasn’t surprised to see her act like that. Honestly, I was surprised when she told that you were engaged, especially since your characters are the opposite of each other."
"Aren’t you the sa as , Zhii?" Xia Tian glanced at Ling Yun. "In the past, so many n yearned for you, and they wanted to take your hand in marriage, but you rejected them, including Lin Kuang. You said you wanted to find soone who was truly good and loved you alone, but you actually fell in love with a man with many wives like your husband."
Huang Lingzhu smiled bitterly as she recalled how Ling Yun had approached her so aggressively when they first t at Snowy Death Mountain. "Perhaps, fate has already arranged everything for , and I can’t avoid it. Even though he has many wives, I feel completely happy being his wife, especially since he treats us both fairly and equally."
"Is he really that good of a husband?"
"Yes." Huang Zhii firmly nodded. "My husband is different from other n, and he is so lustful because of sothing deep within him. If he didn’t treat us fairly and equally, we wouldn’t be able to live in harmony under one roof, right?"
Xia Tian agreed with Huang Zhii. "By the way, how could your husband conquer the Life Goddess? According to the legend, she is the most beautiful woman in this universe, and all n worship her. In fact, if you go to the city of the natural races, you will find her statue there."
"Oh?" Huang Zhii was surprised to hear that. "Did the natural races really build a statue of the Life Goddess? Why did they do that?"
"Yes." Xia Tian nodded at Huang Zhii. "I have a friend from their race, a mber of the giant race, to be exact. He told that the Life Goddess saved them from a serious disease in the past, and they built her statue as a tribute."
"Actually, my husband managed to obtain the Life Goddess thanks to soone’s help, and they’ve been together for decades now." Huang Zhii suddenly saw two n in the distance, which made her frown.
Xia Tian imdiately followed Huang Zhii’s gaze before smiling bitterly. "I think you should go to your husband’s side, or Yuan Tianhui will approach you, and he’ll cause trouble here."
"Yeah." Huang Zhii hurriedly went to Ling Yun’s side, and she imdiately pulled Lian Ziyue closer, confusing her. ’Ziyue, you have to address as your mother while we’re in this city, okay?’
’What happened, Mother Zhii?’ Lian Ziyue asked in confusion.
Huang Zhii shook her head slightly. ’Please address like that, okay?’
’Okay.’ Lian Ziyue agreed.
Ling Yun furrowed his brows as he noticed Huang Zhii’s unusual behavior. He looked at Xia Tian, but his attention imdiately shifted to the two n approaching him. "Are you acting like this because of those two n, Zhii?"
"Yes." Huang Zhii imdiately explained. "Yuan Tianhui is one of the n who proposed to in the past, and he continues to try to do so several tis, even though I have always rejected him. By the way, his Yuan Clan has a high reputation in the Nirvana Sky Domain, and his clan has many cultivators who have reached the Three Immortal Realms."
