Luo Xiangning, though she knew Yang Feilong had many women, never imagined there would be so many.
She was actually too embarrassed to be intimate with Yang Feilong because of her age, but from Yang Feilong's words, she learned that she wasn't the oldest, as Murong Qingxue was even older than her.
Fortunately, everyone didn't seem to have any resistance towards her.
Looking at the bevy of beauties in the room, Yang Feilong's expression was filled with contentment and relief. He had many women, and not one was absent. This was all thanks to his foresight in buying such a top-tier building, with dozens of rooms.
Nineteen women, ah, almost twenty.
Excluding the three who hadn't cultivated dual cultivation, there were sixteen present!
"Sisters? Our husband brings back a few women every time he goes out. Do you think we need to find a way to control this?" Li Yufei asked with a smile.
"We really need to control it, otherwise, I'm afraid the rooms in this villa won't be enough!" Lin Yunxi said seriously.
The women chattered amongst themselves.
Yang Feilong didn't know what to say, so he could only offer a wry smile.
In the following days, Yang Feilong felt his legs turn to jelly. Nineteen women, although Yang Qingqing, Xiao Jingwen, and Xi Mengru hadn't dual cultivated with Yang Feilong, there were still sixteen others. To make Yang Feilong settle down, they gave it their all.
Originally, Yang Feilong had planned to head to Xiangxi to find the sorcerers after the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, but this had to be postponed!
Time flew by, and by the lunar calendar, it was the twentieth day of the first month, which was the end of February according to the Gregorian calendar.
Yang Qingqing, Xiao Jingwen, and some others had to return to university as the semester was starting. Yang Qingqing had wanted to give herself to Yang Feilong, but she didn't want to do it just like that, so she temporarily held back.
However, Yang Feilong promised her that he would find her privately when he had time.
Yang Feilong had set a condition for Xiao Jingwen and Xi Mengru: he would not dual cultivate with them until they reached the second realm. Although they also wanted to dual cultivate with Yang Feilong and become his true women, they chose to obey Yang Feilong's wishes.
During these days, Yang Feilong engaged in non-stop dual cultivation. Although he didn't gain much himself, his cultivation still broke through to the perfect stage of the tenth level of the Yin-Yang realm. However, as the next realm after the Yin-Yang realm was not yet perfected, Yang Feilong was unsure how to break through.
Yang Feilong's cultivation was high, but he had made little progress, giving all the benefits to his women.
Currently, the woman with the highest cultivation among Yang Feilong's women was undoubtedly Murong Qingxue, the only cultivator in the Golden Core realm. Next were Murong Qiuyue, Luo Xiangning, and Yang Qingqing, all three being cultivators in the Foundation Establishment or Innate realms!
The other women, with the lowest strength being at the Heavenly Martial realm, and the stronger ones reaching the Venerable Martial realm, might break through to the Innate realm soon!
Despite not having dual cultivated with Yang Feilong, Xi Mengru and Xiao Jingwen cultivated faster than the other women, which was the benefit of not having lost their virginity!
...
Actually, all the women wanted to go to Xiangxi to find the sorcerers, but some had their own careers and couldn't accompany him, such as Luo Yujiao, Lou Yimo, Li Yufei, and others.
Of course, it wouldn't be a problem if they accompanied him, but it would be unseemly and attract attention if so many of them went together.
After all, each of these women was a captivating beauty.
In the end, a few were chosen who had neither careers nor studies.
Murong Qingxue and Murong Qiuyue were a given; they were not from the mortal world. In addition, there were Luo Xiangning and Luo Feixue. Luo Xiangning was very free now and wanted to spend more time with Yang Feilong. As for Luo Feixue, she was a former assassin and no longer engaged in that profession. She usually roamed around and cultivated.
Besides these four women, there was one more woman who hadn't dual cultivated but also had no studies or career: Xi Mengru.
Xi Mengru used to teach piano to girls, but she stopped later. The reason she played piano was not only because she liked it but also because she was quite insecure and immersed in her own world. After Yang Feilong cured her illness, she no longer taught.
The main reason was that she wanted to have more common interests with Yang Feilong, so she embarked on the path of cultivation.
Now, she had reached the perfect stage of the first realm and could break through to the second realm at any time!
Yes, her physique was excellent, no less than Yang Qingqing's. If she hadn't started cultivating later than Yang Qingqing, she might not be inferior to her now!
...
After arranging everything, Yang Feilong left with the five women. The other women went about their own business!
They didn't drive but chose to travel on foot. Although they were walking, their speed was not slow, as even Xi Mengru, the weakest among the five, had reached the perfect stage of the ninth level of the Qi Refining realm.
On the road, Yang Feilong accompanied Xi Mengru and Murong Qiuyue. Luo Feixue was exchanging cultivation insights with Murong Qingxue and Luo Xiangning. Murong Qingxue's cultivation had also reached the perfect stage of the Venerable Martial realm, and she needed to consider how to break through to the Innate realm. Both Murong Qingxue and Luo Xiangning had relevant experience.
"Qiuyue, is the Spirit Realm fun?" Xi Mengru, finding it awkward to speak to Yang Feilong, held Murong Qiuyue's small hand and asked gently.
"How should I put it, it can't compare to the mortal world. The mortal world is full of commercial and entertainment. Many people like to travel and have fun. But in the Spirit Realm, almost everyone is pursuing strength and longevity, so there's no such thing as fun," Murong Qiuyue said with a wry smile.
"Is that so?" Xi Mengru's face showed a hint of timidity upon hearing this, "Then the mortal world is better!"
"The mortal world has its advantages, and the Spirit Realm has its advantages! If you feel that a lifespan of several decades or a century is enough, then the mortal world is good. Otherwise, it's better to go to the Spirit Realm, because in the Spirit Realm, it's rare for people to live less than a hundred years before dying of old age, just like it's rare for people to live over a hundred years in the mortal world!" Yang Feilong smiled, "It depends on individual pursuits!"
"Mmm," Xi Mengru nodded, then a blush appeared on her face, and she looked at Yang Feilong affectionately, saying, "As long as I can be with you, whether in the mortal world or the Spirit Realm, I feel it's all good."
Murong Qiuyue, listening beside them, felt a little jealous. "Cough cough."
Yang Feilong smiled and then said, "When I rescue my mother, I'll take you all to spend time with you."
"Your mother?" Xi Mengru was surprised.
Yang Feilong then told her about his birth mother's situation.
"No wonder you wanted to go to the Spirit Realm before," Xi Mengru realized.
"Feilong, what's your mother's name? When we get back to the Spirit Realm, I'll ask my father to inquire. It should be easier for him to get information than for you!" Murong Qiuyue said.
"Let's talk about that later!" Yang Feilong said after thinking, "Because I don't know my mother's current situation, nor her family's situation. If we happen to find out something bad, it might bring disaster to your family!"
"Is that so?" Murong Qiuyue was stunned.
Although she was willing to die for Yang Feilong, she couldn't drag her entire family down with her. Moreover, she would eventually get married. If she brought about the doom of her maiden family, parents, and relatives, it would clearly not be wise.
"Don't worry too much, I'll handle it myself," Yang Feilong said with a smile.
"Mmm," Murong Qiuyue nodded.
"Feilong," Murong Qingxue said at this moment.
"What is it, Qingxue?" Yang Feilong asked.
"Tell me your mother's name, I might have an impression," Murong Qingxue said. "After all, I roamed the Spirit Realm before I was twenty, so my age might not be much younger than your mother's!"
"Hmm?" Yang Feilong was surprised. Yes, Murong Qiuyue didn't know, but what about Murong Qingxue?
Hearing Yang Feilong mention his mother, Luo Xiangning, who was not far away, felt a bit awkward. When she was young, she was very jealous of Yang Feilong's mother and regarded her as a love rival. But now, the rival had become her mother-in-law? The thought made her feel embarrassed!
"My mother's name is Li Xiuzhu!" Yang Feilong said after some thought.
"Li Xiuzhu?" Murong Qingxue's eyes narrowed slightly upon hearing the name, "Could she be the young lady of the Li family in Zhongzhou?"
"The young lady of the Li family in Zhongzhou?" Yang Feilong was stunned.
"Li Xiuzhu is actually one year younger than me!" Murong Qingxue said, feeling a little embarrassed, as this woman might be her mother-in-law. "She broke through to the Innate realm at sixteen, she's a true prodigy!"
"Innate realm at sixteen? This should be correct, because when we encountered danger, the strength she displayed was that of the Innate realm, and she was eighteen at the time," Luo Xiangning said.
She had met Li Xiuzhu before, and they were even rivals. She hadn't known her specific strength at the time.
"In that case, it should be her!" Yang Feilong said with excitement. He had been planning to inquire everywhere, but unexpectedly, he suddenly heard news about his mother.
"Qingxue, quickly tell me what you know," Yang Feilong urged.
Murong Qingxue, thinking that a girl one year younger than her had become her mother-in-law, felt no less awkward than Luo Xiangning. However, seeing Yang Feilong's expectant look, she didn't want to let him see it.
So, she began to recount the information she knew.
"The Li family in Zhongzhou is very powerful, with cultivators in the Void Refining realm in their family," Murong Qingxue said. "They are a truly top-tier aristocratic family!"
"A Void Refining realm cultivator presiding over them?" Yang Feilong gasped.
He knew that above the Nascent Soul realm was the Primordial Spirit realm, and above the Primordial Spirit realm was the Void Refining realm!
In the Spirit Realm, apart from the super-tier aristocratic families with cultivators in the Integration realm, there were those families with cultivators in the Void Refining realm!
"As of now, it should be more than twenty years ago, the Li family was betrothed to the Wang family, which also had a Void Refining realm cultivator. But shortly before the wedding, the Li family's young lady disappeared!" Murong Qingxue said.
"Disappeared?" Yang Feilong instantly understood. That's right, the Li family's young lady, Li Xiuzhu, should be his mother. She must have used some unknown means to escape the Spirit Realm and come to the mortal world.
"That incident made the Wang family a laughingstock, and the Li family was furious. Because of this matter, the Li family and the Wang family fell out. Then, after about one or two years, it was rumored that the Li family brought Li Xiuzhu back and imprisoned her!" Murong Qingxue said. "I don't know anything else, because ordinary people dare not easily discuss two top-tier families!"
Yang Feilong nodded, as the events matched!
The reason his mother, Li Xiuzhu, gave 'him' to her adoptive parents might have been because she was evading pursuers from her own clan at the time.
She didn't dare to tell his father the truth for fear that his father would do something foolish!
Yang Feilong felt a pang of sympathy for his mother. Clearly, his mother must have fled her arranged marriage because she didn't like the man from the Wang family she was supposed to marry!
"Therefore, if you want to rescue your mother, your current strength is far from enough!" Murong Qingxue sighed and said, "It is said that because of that incident, some unfavorable changes occurred within the Li family. As for what changes, I don't know, because of my limited strength and status."
Yang Feilong fell into thought.
Of course, whatever problems the Li family had were not something he could solve at present.
The Li family, a top-tier family with a Void Refining realm cultivator presiding over them, would likely not release his mother if he, even at the Golden Core realm, sought their approval.
To truly have the qualifications to contend with the Li family, he would need to possess the combat power of the Void Refining realm.
Of course, none of this was certain. Now that he had a general idea of his mother's situation, although Yang Feilong felt immense pressure, he also had a goal. The more he wanted to rescue his mother as soon as possible, the more he couldn't be impulsive!
Because impulsiveness would only lead to accidents!
"The Wang family," Yang Feilong mused to himself.
Perhaps the Wang family didn't want him to appear. Especially the person his mother was supposed to marry. That person, being betrothed to his mother, who was a peerless prodigy at the time, likely held a significant position in the Wang family. Twenty years have passed; what is his current realm? Has he let go of the hatred of being jilted?
He didn't know any of this and needed to find out to make appropriate plans!
Thinking of this, Yang Feilong asked, "Qingxue, do you know anything about my mother's intended husband?"
"Yes, the Wang family prodigy is named Wang Hantian. He is also one of the peerless prodigies, no less than your mother. Two years ago, at over forty years old, he had already become a cultivator in the Nascent Soul realm!" Murong Qingxue said seriously.
"A Nascent Soul realm cultivator in his forties?" Yang Feilong gasped.
He knew how difficult it was for someone in their forties to reach the Nascent Soul realm!
This Wang Hantian was extraordinary!
