Primordial 'Dual Cultivator' Dragon With System

Chapter 1726: Situation Change

”Follow me.” With that, Ling Yun walked away, leaving the others behind.

Yun Jingqiu hesitated to follow her father, but Sheng Ming pushed her forward. ”Follow him.”

”Yes, Mother Ming.” Yun Jingqiu stepped forward with a pounding heart, wondering what Ling Yun would say to her.

Xuanyuan Yue had already returned to her sister’s side and took Sheng Ai from Meng Ke’er’s arms, giving the little girl a snack. ”Why don’t you follow them, Big Sis Xia?”

”No.” Yun Shengxia shook her head. ”Even though I love our father, I don’t have Sister Qiu’s courage. I know he will reject my feelings, and I’m afraid of heartbreak, so I chose not to confess to him.”

Meng Ke’er nodded slightly. ”Big Sis Qiu looks timid from the outside, but she is much braver than you, Big Sis Xia.”

”Fortunately, the three of us are not in a situation like Big Sis Xia and Big Sis Qiu.” Meng Ke’er and Xuanyuan Yue agreed with Lian Ziyue; the three of them felt relieved because they didn’t have such feelings for Ling Yun.

Sheng Ming smiled as she listened to their conversation. She rubbed Yun Shengxia’s head. ”You are his second daughter, and your birth has brought a new color to his life. Besides, your father’s charm cannot be underestimated, and his treatment of you since childhood has unknowingly planted the seeds of love in your heart. Since there are no other men at residence besides your brothers, that feeling grows even more as you grow up.”

”Am I wrong if I love my father, Mother Ming?”

”Honestly, it’s not wrong for you to fall in love with your father, Xia’er.” Sheng Ming looked into the distance. ”Normally, a man involved in such a relationship as your father wouldn’t hold back, and they wouldn’t care even if the woman in front of them was their daughter. However, your father was different from the others, and he had sworn to never take his daughters as his wives.”

”Are there many men like that out there, Mother Ming?” Lian Ziyue asked.

”Yes,” Sheng Ming nodded. ”From the Ancient Era to the current era, there are many men who have that kind of relationship, and they aren’t concerned about other people’s opinions about them. In fact, the only planet in this universe that prohibits such relationships is Earth, and you will never find such a law on the cultivation worlds.”

”Although there’s no such law in the cultivation world, many people dislike such relationships, and Senior Brother Zhao’s parents are a good example,” Xuanyuan Yue said.

”You’re right about that, Yue. Many people are willing to accept such a relationship, but far more people are unwilling to accept it because it goes against their conscience.” Sheng Ming’s expression changed slightly. ”As for your father, he loved his mother since he was little, and his feelings for her were ingrained in him. After Ling Xi gave Long Hun’s bloodline and the Yin-Yang Golden Body to him, he no longer held back, and you guys should already know the rest of the story.”

The four women nodded to Sheng Ming, but then Meng Ke’er spoke to them. ”If I think about it again, only our father’s relationship with Grandma Song, Mother Mingxia, Mother Mingzhu, Mother Yin, and Aunt Ling is against the norm, right? Apart from them, his relationship can be said to be perfectly normal, even though some of them are mothers and daughters, such as Mother Feng Ruxue and Mother Su Fei.”

”That’s true,” Xuanyuan Yue, Yun Shengxia, and Lian Ziyu agreed with Meng Ke’er.

Sheng Ming took Sheng Ai, who was busy eating snacks, from Xuanyuan Yue’s hands. ”Let’s continue our walk so you guys won’t be tense in tomorrow’s competition.”

”Hehe! Mother Ming, you have to treat us!”

”Okay, you guys can buy whatever you want, and I’ll treat you.”

”Father.” Ling Yun looked at Yun Jingqiu, who was still looking down in fear. ”Do you hate me because of my feelings for you?”

Ling Yun inwardly sighed as he embraced his daughter. ”How could I hate you, Qiu’er? You are my first daughter, remember?”

”Then, why are you deliberately avoiding me?” Yun Jingqiu bit her lower lip, and tears began to well up in her eyes.

”Do you know how I felt when your mother gave birth to you?” Yun Jingqiu shook her head at Ling Yun. ”When I first saw you, you were so small and fragile. I was overjoyed at that time, and your birth brightened my world, making me feel that my struggle all this time was worth it. When I learned that you had mutated spiritual veins, my heart ached so much. I was worried that you would grow up to be a gloomy woman, especially since you wouldn’t be able to cultivate like your brothers and sisters.”

”Father,” Yun Jingqiu felt a surge of warmth in her heart.

Ling Yun continued. ”You are my first daughter, and you are my precious treasure, so I don’t want you to grow up like that. That’s why I treat you differently from Yun Qingfeng, Yun Longhun, Yun Shengxia, and Yun Shengyun. Fortunately, Meng Xianzi told me about Tu Shen, and I immediately went to the Slaughter Heaven Domain to look for him, especially since he was the only person who could help you with your mutated spiritual veins. When he told me that you could cultivate, I felt truly happy for you, and the burden in my heart disappeared at that moment.”

Yun Jingqiu’s eyes were already wet with tears. She hugged Ling Yun’s arm and looked at him gratefully and lovingly. ”I know you don’t want my thanks, but I really want to thank you, Father. You are the best father for me, and you are willing to do anything for me. If I were born into another family, they would probably give up on me.”

”Haha,” Ling Yun pulled Yun Jingqiu closer, wiped away her tears, and hugged her. ”Silly girl, you are my daughter, so I will do anything for you to have the best future.”

Yun Jingqiu opened her mouth to say something, but she was afraid that Ling Yun would avoid her again like before, so she swallowed her words back and hugged him silently.

Ling Yun looked at his daughter’s face. ”Qiu’er, you must remember that I will always love you, no matter what. However, I will never be able to love you as a woman because it goes against my conscience, and I only love you as my daughter.”

Ling Yun’s words pierced Yun Jingqiu’s heart, making her sad again. ”Father, I realize you will never be willing to accept me as your wife, but I will never stop loving you as a father and a man. I hope you will never forbid me or stop me from loving you, and I have decided that I will never marry for the rest of my life.”

”Qiu’er.” Ling Yun could only blame himself for Yun Jingqiu’s feelings for him.

”Father, please don’t ever push me aside, okay?” Yun Jingqiu begged with all her heart.

Ling Yun shook his head slightly. ”You are my daughter, and loving me is your right, but I cannot love you more than a daughter. You are my treasure, and I will never, ever push you aside.”

”Thank you, Father.”

Ling Yun’s eyes suddenly turned sharp, and his expression turned serious. ”Qiu’er, you and the others must be careful once the competition begins, and you guys should surrender if you encounter any strange enemies in the arena.”

”What do you mean by that, Father? Have you detected anything?”

”Yes,” Ling Yun nodded seriously. ”Sheng Ming and I still haven’t been able to locate the source, but I’ve been able to sense powerful demon and devil auras in this domain since we arrived here. They seem to use artifacts to hide their auras so neatly, and their target is probably that competition.”

Yun Jingqiu’s heart tightened, and she became anxious. ”Then?”

”Don’t worry too much, okay?” Yun Jingqiu calmed herself and nodded to Ling Yun. ”Those demons and devils may be powerful, but they are far inferior when compared to Xie Zuzhou, so I’m confident I can get rid of them. Besides, Sheng Ming, the three female immortals, and the others are also in this domain, so I’m confident everyone will be safe.”

Yun Jingqiu looked up at Ling Yun. ”Father, please protect Senior Brother Zhao and his parents. I know that they already hate me because of my feelings for you, but they treated me so well before, so I don’t want anything to happen to them.”

”Haha,” Ling Yun laughed softly. ”Don’t worry, your father isn’t a petty person. I can see that they’re good people, and their attitude changed because they didn’t understand our situation. Therefore, I won’t let them get hurt, let alone die at the hands of those heretics.”

After strolling around for a while, they returned to the residence provided by Yu Shuang. Ling Yun asked Yun Jinqiu to rest, and he went to meet the female sect master to talk with her.

Yu Shuang was truly shocked when Ling Yun told her about those demons and devils. ”Are they really invading this domain?”

”That’s right.” Ling Yun nodded seriously. ”I can’t confirm their numbers yet, but I suspect they’re quite numerous, and they’re spread across all the islands. Besides, I feel that some clans and sects in this domain are plotting with them, so you have to warn those disciples, and you have to ask them to surrender if they encounter strange enemies in the arena.”

”What exactly is their reason for invading this domain?” Yu Shuang frowned.

*Tap... Tap...*

Yu Shuang looked at the three female immortals who had just arrived. Liao Shuzhen spoke to Ling Yun. ”Their numbers seem to be in the tens of thousands, but they won’t appear all at once.”

”What? Tens of thousands?” Yu Shuang was completely shocked.
