Yu Yunzhi, who was sitting dreamily on the roof of the house, was started by someone's presence. "Why are you here?"
"Why did you run away from me?" Xia Tian asked softly as he sat beside Yu Yunzhi.
Yu Yunzhi didn't answer him and lowered her head. Xia Tian didn't ask any further questions either, and they just remained silent for a long time.
After being silent for a while, Yu Yunzhi looked up at the sky and began to speak. "The first time I saw you, I had a strange feeling towards you. I didn't know what I felt then, but I felt that something inside of you caught my attention, and I wanted to experience the feeling of dual cultivating with you. That's why I decided to bring you to the Dual Cultivation Chamber."
Xia Tian turned to her and raised his eyebrows, then Yu Yunzhi continued, but her tone was increasingly filled with sadness. "At first, I enjoyed dual cultivation with you so much. Even after we did it for the first time, I no longer dual cultivated with Liu Tao, and love began to grow in my heart. However, as my feelings grew, I also realized one thing. I realized that you never saw me as your woman, and I felt like I'm just a tool you can use whenever you want."
"When I heard that you proposed to Xian'er, plus your relationship with Bing Huang, I felt heartbroken and disappointed." Tears started to fall from Yu Yunzhi's eyes, and she continued to speak while sobbing. "Do you remember? When we were dual cultivating for the last time, you didn't treat me like a human; you treated me like a tool. Even though I was already exhausted and kept begging you to rest, you didn't give me a chance to rest at all, and you kept on fucking me until I passed out."
Xia Tian took a deep breath, he certainly still remembered the events of that day, and he indeed treated Yu Yunzhi like a tool.
"And did you know? After I woke up, I couldn't stop masturbating, and it continued for a while. My mind and heart were so broken at that time; the person who made love grow in my heart, he actually just treated me like a cultivation tool!"
Xia Tian wanted to say something but immediately swallowed his words and chose to listen to Yu Yunzhi first.
"That's why I left the sect, and I went to the Holy Central Continent in search of a new purpose in life. But when I arrived on this continent, Master suddenly came to me. She told me everything about your past life, and I followed her ever since."
"You are the strongest Immortal, Long Tian. And I am only a lowly woman who has dual cultivated with two men before, no wonder you don't look at me at all, and you always look down on me." Yu Yunzhi said self-deprecatingly, then she buried her face in her hands, and her weeping got louder and louder.
Xia Tian inwardly sighed and pulled Yu Yunzhi into his arms. She kept struggling to break free, but he hugged her tighter. "Stay still."
Xia Tian's domineering voice instantly made Yu Yunzh stop struggling, and she buried her face into his chest.
"You are wrong if you think of me like that, Yunzhi. Something happened to me when we last dual cultivated, and it made me like that." Xia Tian then sighed heavily before continuing to speak. "I don't deny that I have mistreated you, but I have never looked down on you. But I promise you, I will treat you better in the future. Are you willing to give me another chance?"
"I-"
"Yunzhi, you don't have to pretend anymore; you've been cultivating so hard for the past few months to prove yourself to Uncle Tian. Now, he's been begging you for another chance, and that's something he's never done before. " Fan Ying appeared while teasing her, making Yu Yunzhi blush.
Suddenly, Feng Xian'er shouted from below. "Yunzhi! I know that you love Tian, so you better give him a second chance! I dare to guarantee that you won't regret your decision!"
"Sect Master Yu! What are you waiting for? Why are you so hesitant?" Mo Xiaoqi and Shui Liuli also shouted at her.
Shen Huang also did not want to lose to them. "Aunt Yunzhi! You better accept my big brother!"
On the other hand, Bing Huang only glanced at Yu Yunzhi and nodded at her. She knew she really loved Xia Tian, and it would be best to accept him.
Su Fei then flew up onto the roof and landed beside them. "Why don't you give your answer soon, Mom? Tian has already begged you for a second chance, aren't you going to give him a chance?"
After hearing them cheering on her, Yu Yunzhi's face turned red, and she finally nodded to Xia Tian. "En."
"That's good." Xia Tian hugged Yu Yunzhi and brought her to her feet. "This time, I will never mistreat you again."
"Hehe." Su Fei giggled and hugged them. "Congratulations, Mom. You finally become his woman as the rest of us."
Fan Ying smiled, looking at them; she then said to Xia Tian. "Uncle Tian, since Tian Qilian is safe now, and I have left the Elven Nature Realm for too long, I will return there now."
"Eh? I thought you'd spend some time with us." Xia Tian said in surprise, but he remembered that Fan Ying had protected Tian Qilian for several months, so he agreed. "All right, you can return to your realm, but you and the others have to frequently go into my space, okay?"
"Yes." Fan Ying then turned to her disciple. "Yunzhi, continue to cultivate seriously and always remember everything I said before, understand?"
"Yes, I understand, Master." Yu Yunzhi replied with an approving nod.
After she said goodbye to the other women, Fan Ying immediately took out her teleportation device, activated it, and disappeared from their sight.
Xia Tian sighed softly, then asked Yu Yunzhi. "So, what's your next plan? Do you want to return to the sect or stay with us here?"
"There's no point in me returning to the sect, right? Since you all live here, I'll stay here with you." Yu Yunzhi decided without hesitation. Since she had already been separated from Xia Tian for several months, she certainly didn't want to be separated from him again.
"All right, you can stay with us here." Xia Tian replied with a smile and called Estella out from the Dual Cultivation Space. "Anyway, I'll go with her to take care of something first, and we'll be back soon."
After saying that, Xia Tian took Estella away, making the women wonder about their destination.

Meanwhile, a man and a woman are standing in the air above the crater created by Xia Tian's attack in his golden dragon form.
"Heh! I didn't expect Zi Guang to die at the hands of that golden dragon! No one will try overthrowing me again, and I can rule this continent forever." Sheng Jiang said with a satisfied smile. "Hey, Sapphira! Do you know anything about that golden dragon? Why does it live in this world?"
"I don't know." Sapphira shook her head at him. "Moreover, I've never heard of a golden dragon before; even people in the higher realms don't know of its existence either."
"That's weird." Sheng Jiang muttered with a frown. "Are we moving to the southern continent now?"
Sapphira sighed softly. "That strong woman is still on that continent, so we don't need to go over there and let that stupid old ghost cultivator mess around there."
"I see." Sheng Jiang nodded in understanding. "In that case, let's continue to accumulate life energy, or else the demon will lose his temper."
"En." Sapphira followed Sheng Jiang flying away, but she kept looking at the crater, and no one could tell what she was thinking.

"Young miss! This is really bad!" An old woman shouted as she ran into the alchemy room.
Zi Niang, who was concocting pills, immediately turned to her. "What happened? Why are you in such a hurry?"
"Young miss! Master and the others are dead!"
Zi Niang was stunned momentarily, and she then shouted in shock. "What!? What did you just say? My father and the others are dead?"
"Yes." The old woman nodded at her. "Earlier, a giant golden dragon descended on the beast mountain range, killing the master and others."
Upon hearing that, Zi Niang trembled violently, and her eyes fluttered too. "What happened? Where did that golden dragon come from? Why did it kill my father?"
Before the old woman could answer her question, her eyes had already gone blank, and she moved quickly toward Zi Niang and clutched her neck tightly.
"Ugh!" Zi Niang groaned in pain as the old woman did that, and she asked with difficulty. "What... happened to you? Why... are you doing this to me?"
However, the woman did not respond to ber, and another woman did. "She's my doll now, so she's doing this on my orders."
"Who... who are you?"
"Me? My name is Estella."
"Enough." Xia Tian appeared beside Estella and looked at Zi Niang. "Heh! You and your father want to kill my wife for her beast core, so I naturally have to kill him. So, what should I do to you now?"
