"Yin'er?" Yao Mei, who was still grouping the herbs on her desk, was surprised by her daughter's arrival.
After she talked a lot with Xia Tian, Yao Yin decided to go see her mother. She then walked over to Yao Mei and hugged her. "Mom, I'm sorry. I shouldn't be selfish towards you."
"Eh? Why did you suddenly say that?" Yao Yin asked in surprise; she didn't expect that her daughter would say such a thing, especially since she looked so angry at her earlier.
"Nothing; I just feel that my attitude is too selfish." Yao Yin replied as she shook her head. "Moreover, you are still very young, so I think it's only natural that you still want to experience lustful pleasures, and Xia Tian can give them to you."
Yao Mei's face turned red hearing that; she didn't expect that her daughter would say such a thing, but she also felt that her attitude was a bit strange. She then broke away from his daughter's embrace and looked at her seriously, asking her. "Did you just meet Xia Tian?"
"Yes." Yao Yin nodded.
"Did he do something to you?"
Yao Yin froze at her question, but she then nodded with a blush, and she told her mother about their previous activities, causing Yao Mei to look at her dumbfounded. "Why are you looking at me like this?"
Yao Mei shook her head and rubbed her cheeks. "Does that mean you've admitted your own feelings?"
"Not yet." Yao Yin sighed softly. "Even though I have feelings for Xia Tian and we have had intimate moments before, I don't have the desire to be his woman, especially since you are also in a relationship with him."
"Yin'er-"
Yao Yin instantly covered her mother's mouth. "You don't need to say anything, mom. I can accept Xia Tian having many women, but I'm not ready to share a man with my own mother."
Yao Mei couldn't help but sigh in her heart, then she pulled her daughter's hand down and spoke to her. "I admit that I enjoyed dual cultivating with him so much, but I never thought of becoming his official partner."
"Why is that?" Yao Yin can't believe that her mother doesn't want to be with Xia Tian.
Yao Mei pulled her daughter onto the bed and caressed her head. "That's because there are no feelings between us, and we dual cultivate only to fulfill each other's needs, so I will never be with him in the future."
Yao Yin raised her eyebrows. "Wouldn't you guys be able to build feelings between the two of you later?"
"No." Yao Mei shook her head at her. "I know you love Xia Tian, but you are too stubborn to admit it. If I were with him, then you would sacrifice your feelings for my sake, and I don't want that to happen."
"But-"
"Listen to me, Yin'er. Mother has been married once, and you are my only daughter." Yao Mei then held her daughter's hand. "As your mother, your happiness is the most important thing for me, and I know that your happiness is with him, so I don't want to snatch away your happiness."
Hearing that, Yao Yin looked at her mother with complicated feelings. She was so angry at her before, but her mother thought about her feelings even more.
"You don't need to think about me; as long as you can get your happiness, then I will also feel happy for you." Yao Mei sincerely said. "But before that, you have to solidify your feelings firs. That way, you can become his woman in the future."
"I understand." Yao Yin then hugged her mother tightly as she muttered in her heart. 'But you're wrong about one thing, mom. As your daughter, your happiness is also very important to me. I may not be able to accept the relationship between the three of us now, but I will learn to accept everything, and then we will both find our happiness.'

On a hill, a woman was observing the young twins sparring with each other, but her gaze was not focused on them, and she seemed to be lost in thought.
"What are you thinking about, Vice Master Mei?" Yu Suyin asked as she sat beside her.
Mei Yin turned her head and answered her. "I'm thinking about Yuxi; she's been missing for almost three weeks, and I still can't contact her."
"Oh." Yu Suyin naturally knew that Xiao Yuxi was in Xia Tian's dual cultivation space, but she couldn't possibly tell Mei Yin about her whereabouts, or it would cause him a lot of trouble. "Perhaps Elder Yuxi is away to calm down, and she doesn't want to be disturbed by anyone, especially after she experienced something like that in the ancient ruin before."
"You may be right." Mei Yin sighed and nodded. "Yuxi may look strong on the outside, but she's actually very fragile on the inside, and she might want to be alone for a while to forget what happened in that place."
Yu Suyin laughed in her heart hearing that, and she also knew that Xiao Yuxi was like that. It's just that she wasn't going to be alone to forget about that incident, but she was now Xia Tian's prisoner. "Anyway, why do I feel that your relationship with Elder Yuxi is a bit odd, Vice Master Yin?"
"What do you mean by that, Suyin?" Mei Yin asked back with a frown.
"Hmm?" Yu Suyin lightly tapped her chin before answering her. "I know that you are in love with Sect Master Yun because you guys are twins, but I feel that you are also in love with Elder Yuxi."
"Hmm?" Mei Yin frowned even more, but she didn't refute her words, and that actually made her think about her relationship with Xiao Yuxi, because their relationship was indeed very special.
Yu Suyin then continued. "Judging from your attitude like this, I firmly believe that you also love Elder Yuxi."
"I don't know." Mei Yin shook her head.
"Anyway, it's not that I want to interfere in your personal matters, but I think it would be best if you were in a relationship with a man." Hearing that, Mei Yin looked at Yu Suyin strangely. "To be honest, I feel very strange about same-sex relationships, especially since being in a relationship with a man is much better."
Mei Yin pondered after hearing that; she had kissed Xia Tian before, but she didn't feel anything special from it. "Is dual cultivating with him so extraordinary?"
"Oh? Do you still need to ask that? Didn't I share some of my memories with you before?" Yu Suyin asked back with a faint smile, seeing Mei Yin's blushing face, especially after she remembered their lewd action in her memories. "Hehe, me and the other sisters can never refuse to dual cultivate with Tian continuously, because it's so satisfying."
Mei Yin then cursed softly. "You sure are shameless, Suyin!"
"Hehe." Yu Suyin giggled at that. "You will definitely understand our feelings if you have dual cultivated with a man, and I'm sure you will be addicted to doing it all the time."
"Humph! I don't need a man by my side." Mei Yin said with a snort and immediately flew away from Yu Suyin.

Medical Valley Sect
"It seems that you are serious about preparing yourself for the inter-sect competition, Sister Yan." Murong Mengxin spoke as she saw Dugu Yan walking towards her.
Dugu Yan immediately sat down opposite her and sighed heavily. "Since I'm going to face your husband in the inter-sect competition later, I have to prepare myself as best I can, or else I'll lose badly to him later."
"Are you sure you can beat Tian in alchemy?" Murong Mengxin asked with a faint smile, and she was naturally certain that Xia Tian would never lose to the alchemists of the Seven Star World. After all, he was the Alchemist God's sole disciple, and he himself was also a Saint Rank Alchemist in the past.
Dugu Yan shook her head. "Although I'm not sure I can beat him, I will try my best not to fall too far behind him. Even if I lose to him, I must not lose to Yan Jin and Meng Yao's disciples, or our sect will lose face if I lose to them."
"Sister Yan, I believe you won't lose to them, but you can never beat Tian; that's because his alchemy ability is far above yours." They then turned to a woman walking towards them, and Murong Mengxin asked her. "Why are you back here already, Ling'er? I thought you still wanted to spend time with your family."
"I feel bored at home, and my mother is always nagging at me." Ran Ling'er replied as she sat in front of them, and she then told Murong Mengxin several things via voice transmission.
Murong Mengxin nodded understandingly at her, and she replied to her directly.
"What are you two doing? Why are you guys talking through voice transmission?" Dugu Yan asked with a raised eyebrow.
They shook their heads and answered in unison. "Nothing, we just talked about something personal."
