Chapter 166: Qiqi…

“Mother.”

“Xiao Feng, Xiao Ye, you’re back.”

“Mm-hmm, Mother, we’re back.”

In the dream, a gentle woman who was already a wife opened her arms, and a boy and a girl dove into their mother’s embrace.

The boy was named Lin Feng, and the girl was named Lin Ye.

The boy looked more like his father, while the girl took after her mother; both were very well-behaved and cute.

“Wife, I’m back.”

Not far away, a man walked over slowly.

“You’ve worked hard.”

Sikong Wangxing slowly stood up and took Lin Xun’s outer coat.

Lin Xun sat in the courtyard, while Wang Xing gently massaged her husband’s shoulders.

“Husband, rest for a while. I will go prepare dinner.”

“Mhm, thank you for your hard work, wife.”

“Mother, Xiao Feng wants to help too.”

“Xiao Ye wants to go too.”

“Mhm, alright. Then Xiao Feng and Xiao Ye can help Mother out, okay?” Sikong Wangxing squatted down and gently rubbed her children’s heads.

“Mm-hmm, okay.”

Amidst laughter, the mother led her children to the kitchen.

“Wife, no rush. Look who’s here,” Lin Xun said with a smile.

Sikong Wangxing looked toward the entrance.

“Grandpa, Grandma, Great-grandfather!”

The siblings, Lin Feng and Lin Ye, ran over.

“Oh, my two little darlings.”

The Old City Lord of Tianji City held his great-grandson and great-granddaughter, his face full of smiles.

The setting sun cast its light, edging everything in the courtyard with a faint golden glow.

The woman, now a wife, watched everything before her.

Everything was so happy, so happy it felt unreal, like a dream.

“Sect Master, I wonder why you have summoned Nong Qin.”

Inside the main hall of the Ten Thousand Demon Sect, Nong Qin bowed.

“Master is here too?”

Standing up, Nong Qin only then noticed her Master was also there.

“Hahaha, no rush, no rush.”

The Old Sect Master laughed and stroked his beard.

“Wait a moment, we’ll talk once that kid Lin Xun arrives.”

“Your Highness?” Hearing Your Highness’s name, the little deer in Nong Qin’s chest began to leap wildly.

“Yes.” Qin Xin, the Hall Master of Magic Qin Hall, gave a gentle smile. “Nong Qin, we are about to announce a major matter concerning you two.”

Just as Qin Xin, the Hall Master of Magic Qin Hall, finished speaking, a man in a green robe entered the hall.

“Master.” Lin Xun walked to Nong Qin’s side and bowed to the Old Sect Master.

Stealing a glance at the man beside her, Nong Qin’s cheeks flushed crimson, and a wisp of white steam drifted from her head.

“Xiao Xun.”

The Old Sect Master said with a smile.

“Even though you already have a primary wife, you’re still missing two Secondary Wives. Since Nong Qin is the direct Disciple of Qin Xin Hall, it’s not out of the question for her to be your Secondary Wife.”

“They say a teacher for a day is a father for life. Today, your Master and Nong Qin’s Master shall set this marriage contract for the two of you. What do you think?”

“Eh?”

Nong Qin’s mind went blank; she thought she had misheard, and her eyes were spinning.

“Sect… Sect Master… Ma… Master… Nong Qin… Nong Qin…”

“Hmm?” Qin Xin looked at her Disciple with a smile. “How about it? Do you not like Your Highness Lin Xun? Or do you feel wronged marrying Your Highness?”

“How could I?”

With her cheeks burning, Nong Qin clutched her skirt tightly, her heart filled with happiness.

“It’s just… it’s just that Nong Qin’s status is humble. To marry the Young Master as a concubine is already Nong Qin’s dream. How could I dare… how could I dare to be the Young Master’s se… se…”

Before she could finish the words “Secondary Wife,” Nong Qin’s head felt like boiling water, steam rising again, her face turning even redder.

“Hahaha, there is no talk of status in our Ten Thousand Demon Sect.” The Old Sect Master laughed and interrupted her. “Disciple, what do you say? Are you willing to take Nong Qin as your Secondary Wife?”

Lin Xun turned his head and looked at Nong Qin.

Nong Qin accidentally met Lin Xun’s gaze, then quickly lowered her head shyly, as if trying to bury her head in the deep valley of her chest.

Turning back, Lin Xun bowed to the Old Sect Master: “I shall follow Master’s arrangements.”

“Hahaha, good, good, good!” The Old Sect Master slapped his leg happily. “In that case, you two shall be married in three days.”

“Master! You cannot!”

In a small courtyard on Dongma Street in Luo City, Jiang Qingshang stood before Lin Xun, sword in hand.

In front of Jiang Qingshang stood her Master, Jiang Yuerou, who had saved and raised her, holding a long sword.

“You cannot? Qingshang! You are the Saintess of the Zilin Holy Land, tempering yourself in the Mortal World. How can you fall so deep into it? Move aside and let me kill this man!”

“If Master wishes to kill my husband, then please kill Qingshang first.” Jiang Qingshang knelt before her Master, holding the zilin immortal sword.

“Qingshang! Your future is limitless. You will surely achieve Ascension! You might even reach the Two Legendary Realms! Your lifespan will be ten thousand years, even equal to the heavens. This Mortal has only decades. Why do this?”

Jiang Yuerou’s chest heaved violently, her whole body trembling with rage.

“The Dao or a man—which is more important in your heart?!”

“The Dao and my husband.” Jiang Qingshang raised her head and looked directly into her Master’s eyes. “The Dao is not worth a ten-thousandth of my husband. If the so-called Dao requires me to leave him, Qingshang would rather be a Mortal and no longer pursue the Dao.”

“Qingshang!!!”

“Is this my dream?”

She Qiqi walked through the Demon Capital’s imperial palace.

Looking at the familiar splendor and knowing the Dream-Eating Tapir’s ability, the girl knew she had entered a dream.

The Dream-Eating Tapir is a natural Divine Beast that has existed since the beginning of time. It is genderless, immortal, and formed from the dreams of the world.

After the ancient Dream-Eating Tapir died, its body fell and formed a Secret Realm.

As long as it absorbs enough dreams and Souls of the strong, the Dream-Eating Tapir will awaken and be born.

Those who are obsessed with their own dreams will be unable to wake up, and eventually, their bodies and Souls will become food for the Dream-Eating Tapir.

“I miscalculated a bit.”

She Qiqi lightly bit her red lip.

In the dream, She Qiqi had already shed her male attire. The girl, now back in palace robes, could make tens of thousands of men lose their Souls with just a small movement.

The most beautiful woman in the Demon Race World was never a self-proclaimed title.

“Forget it, let this Princess see what my Heart Demon truly is.”

Humming a little tune, the girl walked forward with her hands behind her back, taking a leisurely stroll.

“Qiqi.”

Just as She Qiqi had taken a few steps with her lotus-like feet, a gentle voice came from behind her.

With just a soft call, the girl froze in her tracks, her mind going blank. Her heart, which had been wrapped in layer after layer, seemed to be peeled open bit by bit.

“Mother.”

The girl turned around and gave a smile with crescent eyes.

Despite knowing it was a dream, the girl’s small hands were still clenched tightly, and her body trembled slightly.

“Big Brother Lin…”

Meanwhile, in reality, Wang Chen blinked her eyes, her gaze fixed on the man resting on her lap.

Looking at the scumbag who had his eyes closed and his brow furrowed, the girl reached out her hand and gently smoothed his tightly locked brow.
