7: Chapter 7 That's your aunt

"Husband!"

At the entrance of the Immortal Cave, the place of seclusion.

Ye Lingling looked at Yuan Chen with reluctance.

They had been married for less than a year, and now they were about to part ways.

Yuan Chen held their child and pulled Ye Lingling into his embrace.

"Rest assured and go inside. Father and Mother have already put all the resources in; it will guarantee your smooth advancement."

"As for the child, don't worry. I will take good care of him."

Yuan Chen patted her small hand and said comfortingly.

Ye Lingling nodded, choking back sobs.

She looked at the son in her arms and kissed his cheek.

"Mother is going into seclusion. Luo'er, you must be a good boy and listen to Father!"

After being affectionate with her son, she hardened her heart and left Yuan Chen's embrace.

"It's getting late, so Husband, I'll be going now."

Yuan Chen nodded and watched her walk step by step towards the place of seclusion.

After taking only two steps, Ye Lingling stopped again.

She turned to look at Yuan Chen.

Yuan Chen looked at her in confusion, wanting to ask if there was anything else.

Ye Lingling stared at Yuan Chen.

After hesitating for a while, she gritted her teeth and said,

"Husband, I don't know when I will be able to come out after I go in."

"I know the Dragon Clan is lustful. If you can't help yourself, then take a few more wives. I won't mind."

Advancement is a very complicated process.

It might take a little over a year to come out, it might take three or four years to succeed, or it might take decades; no one can say for sure.

And the Dragon Clan being lustful is something recognized by the whole Cultivation World.

They are insatiable.

She felt guilty for leaving the father and son behind just after giving birth.

Although she didn't like sharing a husband with others, she said this to make up for her guilt.

Yuan Chen shook his head and looked at Ye Lingling affectionately.

"Lingling, you are wrong."

Before Ye Lingling could speak, he continued.

"Who says the Dragon Clan must be lustful?"

"There are exceptions."

"My father has pampered my mother alone for three hundred years. Is my father not a Dragon Clan member?"

"Lingling, you must remember that the Dragon Clan also possesses true love."

Standing in the distance, listening to the conversation, Yuan Ji couldn't help but nod.

That makes sense!

Luo Li, standing beside him, also looked at her husband with satisfaction. In this regard, Yuan Ji truly made her very satisfied.

Their daughter-in-law was going to advance, so of course, the two of them came to see.

But since the young couple was parting, they felt embarrassed to follow.

So they stood far away, guarding the two.

Hearing Yuan Chen's words, Ye Lingling was moved to tears.

She stepped forward and threw herself into Yuan Chen's arms.

She said affectionately,

"Husband, it is enough that I know you love me, but there is no need to not remarry in this life because of me."

"I won't mind."

Yuan Chen said in surprise.

"I didn't say I wouldn't remarry!"

Ye Lingling's body stiffened in his arms.

She raised her head and looked at Yuan Chen in confusion.

"Then what did Husband mean just now..."

Yuan Chen spread his hands and said seriously.

"I just think the statement you made earlier was too absolute and a bit inappropriate."

"Just because the entire group has such an atmosphere, you cannot disregard the individual. This is unfair to my father."

Ye Lingling: "..."

The couple watching from the side was also dumbfounded.

Yuan Ji thought to himself, you are quite filial, still knowing how to defend your father's reputation.

Ye Lingling's eyes were still filled with tears at this moment.

Yuan Chen felt a wave of pity looking at her.

He immediately said with heartache.

"Alright, don't be angry."

"Even if there are other wives in the future, you will still be the one I cherish the most."

Ye Lingling opened her innocent big eyes.

She said quietly.

"Yes, the one you cherish the most will definitely be me!"

"But my heart aches."

"Every time you take another one, I will ache once more."

Yuan Chen touched her ear.

He said dotingly.

"What are you saying? I was talking about cherishing."

"Alright, it's getting late, Lingling, you should go."

"Come out of seclusion early; I will miss you."

Ye Lingling pouted aggrievedly.

But she also realized it was indeed getting late.

Each Immortal Cave for seclusion has a specific opening time.

This requires reporting to the manager of the Azure Dragon Palace in advance.

If she didn't get in in time, she would have to report again.

"Hmph!"

After a delicate snort.

Ye Lingling twisted her waist, walked with a cat-like step, and slowly walked towards the cave entrance.

Perhaps due to the reluctance of parting, she temporarily forgot the previous unpleasantness.

After reaching the cave entrance, she couldn't help but look back.

She shouted at Yuan Chen.

"Husband, I will miss you too."

After saying this, she took a step forward, and her figure disappeared from sight.

Yuan Chen had just raised his hand, preparing to wave goodbye.

But before he could even raise it halfway, he couldn't see her anymore.

He glanced at the cave entrance twice, held his son, and walked towards his residence.

He was also constantly calculating in his heart whether he had met any beautiful Dragon Clan girls recently.

Even if Ye Lingling didn't say it.

He was planning to marry again after he received his reward.

Previously, without Medicinal Pill, he knew that even if he married a wife, it would be difficult to conceive offspring.

Because...

Without taking the pill, he wasn't capable...

So he wouldn't waste the effort.

"Chen'er, did Lingling leave?"

While he was thinking, his parents' figures suddenly appeared in front of him.

Luo Li asked, knowing the answer.

Yuan Chen nodded.

"Yes! She just went in."

"Before going in, the thing she was most worried about was me. She hoped I could marry a few more wives to take care of me."

Luo Li and her husband looked at each other, their mouths twitching.

Yuan Chen continued to speak.

"In order to put Lingling at ease, I decided to follow her advice."

"Mother, if you know any beautiful demonesses, you can introduce them to me."

Luo Li: "..."

After a long silence: "Okay! Mother will pay attention."

"Hmm!"

Yuan Chen nodded and shoved his son into Luo Li's arms.

"Father, Mother, when Lingling went in, the thing she was most worried about was Luo'er, fearing I wouldn't take good care of him."

"So I thought about handing Luo'er over to you two to raise."

Luo Li's eyelids twitched.

Why does Lingling have so many things she can't let go of?

But she only complained inwardly and didn't say anything more.

They were very happy to take care of their grandson.

Seeing Mother 'agree' to it.

Yuan Chen was also in a great mood.

He silently gave himself a thumbs up.

To be able to have a son at eighteen and let his parents enjoy the happiness of family—how many people could do that in his previous world?

There were plenty who hadn't even held a girl's hand!

After handing over his son, he felt a sense of relief all over.

"Then Father, Mother, I'll head back first."

After saying that to the two, Yuan Chen passed by them.

But after walking two steps, he suddenly thought of something.

His eyes lit up.

He turned back and said.

"Mother, I remember there is a carp sister who often follows you, and she is very beautiful."

"Look..."

Luo Li's hands stiffened.

Her face darkened, and she looked at Yuan Chen vigilantly.

"That is your aunt!"
