After he conversed with the Dongfang Twins for some time, Chen Li decided to leave the Tianyi Realm. However, the two women stayed inside, wanting to cultivate again.
However, Dongfang Wenxin followed Chen Li out of the Tianyi Realm, for she was still unused to cultivating for too long.
Chen Li then checked on Anna in her room, but she was still sleeping soundly. “Apparently, a werewolf like her is only active at night, huh?”
Afterward, Chen Li returned to his room and checked his smartphone, and he was surprised to find many missed calls and messages. “Sigh, I forgot I promised Yu Xuan and Bei Lian’er to meet them last night.”
“Brother, I met two birdmen earlier.” Sun Xing’er suddenly said to him as she returned to her human form. “They came here to capture the Succubus Queen, but I chased them away immediately.”
Chen Li smiled in amusement, hearing Sun Xing’er refer to angels as birdmen. “Sacha had expected that they would come here, so I brought her and Xianglin into the Tianyi Realm, or else the two angels would attack this mansion.”
Sun Xing’er agreed with that. “However, I’m sure they will come back here again, especially since those birdmen are so arrogant and stubborn.”
“En, I know that.” Chen Li then pulled Sun Xing’er onto his lap and kissed her lips for a moment. “Are they strong?”
“Hmm? The bird woman Ariel is very weak, and her strength is on par with cultivators in the Foundation Realm.” Chen Li nodded in understanding, and Sun Xing’er told him again. “However, the birdman named Gabriel is very strong, and his strength is on par with cultivators at the Peak Stage Earth Realm, so you won’t be able to stand against him.”
“I see.” Even so, Chen Li didn’t expect that Gabriel was so strong, and he definitely wouldn’t be able to face him alone. “As I recall, he was one of the Archangels, and if he was that strong, I’m sure Michael would be even stronger than him.”
“I don’t know who Michael is, but the birdmen in this lower realm shouldn’t be too strong.” Sun Xing’er replied as she chuckled. “Even if there is one among them who is stronger than Gabriel, I am certain that his strength will not surpass that of cultivators in the Heaven Realm.”
Chen Li smiled bitterly upon hearing that. After all, his current cultivation was still at the 2nd Stage Core Realm, so a cultivator in the Heaven Realm was still too strong for him. He then sighed softly and said to his half-sister. “If Michael descends into the human world, I need your help dealing with him.”
“Hehe.” Sun Xing’er giggled at that. “You don’t need to worry; you are my brother and husband, so I will protect you.”
Upon hearing that, Chen Li smiled and rubbed Sun Xing’er’s cheek. At first, he wanted to use her to take revenge on Sun Taiyang, but he changed his mind, especially since she was so gentle. “Are you going to stay by my side forever?” 𝙚𝙙𝙣𝒐𝙫𝙚𝙡.𝙤𝙧𝒈
Sun Xing’er nodded and explained it to him. “Honestly, I was supposed to return to the Three Realm to carry out my duties as the Star Goddess, but my mother told me to stay here, and she will take over my duties.”
“That’s good then.” Chen Li was satisfied with her answer. Since he still didn’t know Sun Xing’er, he wanted to spend more time with her to get to know her better, mainly because they already had a marriage contract. “Anyway, I’m going to see Yu Xuan and Bei Lian’er. Do you want to come with me?”
“Yes.” Sun Xing’er immediately returned to her fox form and lay down on Chen Li’s shoulder, and he immediately left the room.
However, just as Chen Li was about to leave the mansion, he ran into Chen Wei’er, who had just returned, and she asked him directly. “How is Xianglin? Is she okay?”
“En, Xianglin is fine and resting within the Tianyi Realm now.” Chen Li replied with a nod. “If you want to meet her, you can go inside to meet her, but she might not be awake by now.”
Chen Wei’er nodded in understanding, for she already knew that Xiao Xianglin must have dual cultivated with her nephew, and then asked him again. “Are you satisfied that you have Xianglin as your woman now?”
“Haha. Of course, I’m satisfied.” Chen Li then hugged his aunt. “The question is when will you be willing to be my woman, Aunt Wei’er?”
“Humph!” Chen Wei’er snorted after hearing that. “I don’t know, and I still need time to figure things out.”
“All right then.” Chen Li didn’t press his aunt anymore. “Anyway, if my mother asks where I’m going, please tell her that I went to see Yu Xuan and Bei Lian’er.”
“All right.” Chen Wei’er nodded in understanding, remembering that Chen Li had promised the two women to explain everything.
Sun Xing’er glanced at Chen Wei’er and muttered in her heart. ‘Should I follow Xian’er’s words to tell her the truth?”
.

Sometime later, Chen Li was already at Yu Hua’s apartment, and the two women looked at him gloomily.
On the other hand, Bei Yudie also didn’t say anything, and she kept looking at Chen Li with complicated feelings, for he had forgotten their past meeting.
“I had some important business yesterday, so I didn’t have time to come here to see you guys.” After he said that, Chen Li turned to Bei Yudie, and he immediately used his Qi to knock her unconscious; he didn’t want her to overhear their conversation.
The two women sighed softly upon seeing that, but they knew what Chen Li meant by doing so, and Bei Lian’er asked him. “Are you deliberately disguising yourself as Mo Xie to destroy our families?”
“Don’t you already know the answer?” Chen Li asked her back. “Bei Xiang, Yu Lei, Yang Lang, and Shen Hu have killed my father, which made my mother suffer greatly for the past few years. Besides, Long Jiuxiao and Qin Wang also helped them from behind to steal everything that belonged to my Chen family, and they split everything equally between them. So do you think it’s wrong for me to want to take revenge on your families?”
Bei Lian’er and Yu Xuan were speechless to reply to him, for they knew that they had suffered greatly because of that.
This time, Yu Xuan asked him. “Then what about our son? We’ve asked them, but they still insist on not telling us the truth.”
“Naturally, they wouldn’t dare admit what they did.” Chen Li replied as he chuckled. “Since you already know my true identity, I will also tell you the truth. Several months ago, Bei Qiang and his four friends lured me to come to them, and the five of them ganged up on me at that place. After that, they brought me to the Northern Forest and left me there to die.”
“What?” The three women exclaimed in shock after Chen Li said that.
However, Bei Lian’er frowned and asked in disbelief. “Is that true? I don’t believe Yang’er would do such a thing to you.”
“I don’t believe Qiang’er would do such a thing either.” Yu Xuan also couldn’t believe Chen Li’s words.
“Hey.” Chen Li snorted at their words; he then touched their foreheads and transferred his memories of that day’s events.
Even though the two women weren’t cultivators, they could still see Chen Li’s memories, and they were wholly shocked afterward.
Chen Li then said to them. “Honestly, I’m grateful for their actions; that incident has completely changed my life. I didn’t have any power back then, but now I can take revenge on those who destroyed my family.”
Bei Lian’er immediately asked in a pleading tone. “Chen Li, can you spare my son? I-”
“No.” Chen Li resolutely interrupted Bei Lian’er. “An eye for an eye, blood for blood, and life for life. Since they have all done that to me and my family, I will destroy them all to the root.”
The two women’s faces turned pale after they heard the determination in Chen Li’s tone; Yu Xuan also tried to plead with him. “I know Qiang’er was wrong to do that to you, but I hope you don’t kill my son.”
“Hmm?” Chen Li raised his eyebrows. “Yu Xuan! If my Master had not saved and healed me, I would have died by now. So do you think I would spare your son?”
“But-”
“You only have two choices, join me or become my enemies.” After he interrupted Yu Xuan, Chen Li immediately stood up from his seat. “You don’t need to decide now; you can think things through first. However, you guys will suffer if you make the wrong decision.”
Afterward, Chen Li immediately left Yu Hua’s apartment, for he felt that he had told them enough, and all decisions were in their hands now.
Bei Lian’er slumped on the sofa and asked. “What should we do now? Should we tell this matter to our husbands? Perhaps, we can save our sons.”
Yu Xuan did not answer Bei Lian’er’s question and was lost in her thoughts. ‘Is there no other way to save Qiang’er from Chen Li? Should I tell Bei Xiang about this matter? But I’m afraid he’ll do something bad to us if he finds out about it, and he might hurt Yudie too.’
