While they were talking, Mao Tianxie came to Qingshui Mansion, and Chen Li led him to Chen Zhiyi’s room because Tian Qiu was there waiting for his cousin, who was still unconscious.
“What are you doing here, Uncle Tianxie?” Tian Qiu asked in surprise when they walked in.
Mao Tianxie sighed softly before telling her. “Miss, I came here to pick you up, so you can pack your things now, and I will take you home straight away.”
“No!” Tian Qiu immediately rejected Mao Tianxie. “I’m not going home! My mother has allowed me to live with Zhiyi, so I will stay here with her.”
“The situation has changed, Miss.” Mao Tianxie sighed softly before explaining it to her. “Your father himself asked me to pick you up, and he even asked me to take you away by force if you refused.”
Tian Qiu didn’t believe his words and contacted her father, but Tian Wang didn’t give her room to compromise, so she contacted her mother. However, Situ Luoyu also asked her to go home, but she did not explain to her the reasons behind her change of decision, and they would discuss it with her after she went home.
After she ended their call, Tian Qiu glared at Chen Li angrily as she shouted at him. “You must have pressured my parents! I love Zhiyi! I don’t want to be separated from her!”
“Have you forgotten that you’re in my mansion right now? I have the right to accept or refuse anyone to live here, and I no longer accept your presence in this mansion.” Even though Chen Li spoke to her in a relaxed manner, Tian Qiu still shivered because of it. “Moreover, you have made a big mistake by accepting your mother’s idea to use me to be with Zhiyi, and I will never accept anyone with ulterior motives by my side. Besides, I will take my cousin away from this country, so you can go home with this old man.”
“No!” Tian Qiu shouted as she moved in front of Chen Li, and she grabbed his hand and begged him. “Please! Take me with you! I don’t want to lose Zhiyi!”
Chen Li shook his head at her, and he restricted Tian Qiu’s movements before pulling his hand back. “Your feelings for Zhiyi are none of my business, but you should already realize that your feelings are one-sided, and she never loved you. Even if you insist on staying by her side, she will never fall in love with you, so you should just go home and forget her.”
“No!” Tian Qiu shook her head vigorously. “Please! Chen Li! Don’t separate me from Zhiyi!”
However, Chen Li did not listen to Tian Qiu’s pleas and turned to Mao Tianxie. “You can take her home now, and I will ask someone to send her personal belongings over.”
“All right.” Mao Tianxie nodded and enveloped Tian Qiu with his space ability before taking her away.
After they disappeared, Chen Li turned to his cousin. “Are you going to continue pretending to be asleep?”
Hearing that, Chen Zhiyi opened her eyes and got out of bed, and she walked in front of Chen Li. “Big brother, I never knew that Qiu loved me.”
“I know.” Chen Li simply nodded at her. “Although I abhor doing this to Tian Qiu, it is the best way for her, given that you would never fall in love with her.”
“Yes.” Chen Zhiyi nodded and hugged Chen Li. “Even though Qiu is always kind to me, and we’ve been good friends for the past four years, I never had such feelings towards her. Moreover, I only love you, and I’m happy that you accept me now.”
Chen Li sighed inwardly after hearing that, and he pushed Chen Zhiyi back a little before holding her shoulders. “To tell you the truth, I haven’t accepted you completely, and you must throw away your acute jealousy from your heart first. After all, I have many wives now, and I don’t want jealousy to exist among them. Can you understand that?”
“En, I understand.” Chen Zhiyi answered with a nod. “I promise, I will get rid of my jealousy.”
“That’s good.” Chen Li then took Chen Zhiyi’s hand. “Let’s meet your mother, and I will send you two to my special place.”

*Slap*
As soon as they entered her room, Ximen Yuqing slapped Chen Zhiyi’s cheek hard, causing her to be shocked on the spot.
“Enough.” Chen Li directly grabbed Ximen Yuqing’s hand when she was about to slap Chen Zhiyi again. “Your daughter didn’t kill Chen Hu, and I killed him with my own hands.”
“Is that true? Did Zhiyi really not kill her father?” Ximen Yuqing asked in disbelief, especially since Feng Xian’er knocked her unconscious after Chen Zhiyi took the dagger.
Chen Li nodded to her. “Just as Zhiyi was about to stab Chen Hu in the chest, Xian’er stopped her, so she didn’t kill him.”
Hearing that, the burden in Ximen Yuqing’s heart instantly vanished, and she hugged her daughter tightly. “I’m sorry I slapped you so hard, Zhiyi.”
“It’s okay, mom.” Chen Zhiyi answered and hugged her mother back. “I know that you were angry about my decision, so I don’t blame you for slapping me. Honestly, I was truly scared when I decided that, but I really wanted to be Big Brother’s wife, so I was forced to decide like that.”
Ximen Yuqing did not comment on the matter, and she hugged her daughter even tighter. “What did you do with Chen Hu’s corpse, Li’er?”
“I burned it to ashes, and I scattered them in the air.” Chen Li had no intention of covering up the matter.
“I see.” Ximen Yuqing nodded in understanding, but she also felt sad in her heart.
“I’ll take you two somewhere, and you guys will start your new lives after that.” Both women turned to him in confusion, but Chen Li didn’t say anything to them and took them to Tianyi Realm directly.

The beauty of the Tianyi Realm and the freshness of its air mesmerized Ximen Yuqing and Chen Zhiyi, just like everyone else.
“Let’s go; I’ll take you to see Meiyi and the others.” Chen Li then took the two to the cultivation cave area, and they were even more surprised to see many women they had never seen before.
Although Chen Zhiyi felt jealous, she hurriedly suppressed her jealousy as she didn’t want Chen Li to abandon her, and he then introduced them to the women.
“You can explain everything to them and teach them how to cultivate, and I’ll go see Sister Hei.” Chen Meiyi nodded in agreement at him.
After he disappeared, Chen Meiyi asked the two women to sit cross-legged like Song Susu and the others, and she began to explain everything from the most basic things to them.
Unlike her daughter, Ximen Yuqing had difficulty concentrating, especially since she still felt that everything was bizarre, but Chen Meiyi kept convincing her until she could accept everything.

Chen Li walked into one of the bamboo houses but was surprised to see spider webs all over the room, and there was a large cocoon in the middle. “Is Tang Wan in there?”
“Yes.” Xiao Hei nodded to him. “Currently, she is undergoing the final process, and she will transform into a humanoid icy snow demon spider soon. However, you still have to find suitable profound veins for her, or she will die if she reaches her lifespan limit.”
“I know.” Chen Li nodded in understanding. “Perhaps I will meet many enemies in the Seven Moon Realm later, especially after I join the Blue Moon Sect.”
“That’s right.” Xiao Hei agrees with that. “Just like on your planet, killing or being killed is inevitable there, but the situation in the Seven Moon Realm is more unstable, and you will encounter many enemies in the future. Even now, there are several enemies targeting you, so you have to act much more carefully there.”
“Yes.” Chen Li then said to her. “Speaking of the Nalan Clan, can you do anything about them?”
“What do you want to do with them?” Xiao Hei asked him back as she smiled, for Chen Li was finally no longer stubborn, and he decided to borrow her strength. “I don’t mind if you ask me to destroy them, and I will immediately make a move if you really want me to.”
“No.” Chen Li shook his head at her. “We are newcomers to the realm, and your actions will cause more trouble if you destroy the Nalan Clan outright. Even so, you can do something to weaken them, so they won’t dare to do anything to the Di Clan for quite a long time, and we can train more peacefully there.”
“You’re right about that.” Xiao Hei then asked him again. “So what do you want me to do with them?”
“Hmm?” Chen Li thought as he rubbed his smooth chin. “As I recall, Xi Yue had a big brother, and he was the head of the Nalan Clan’s guards, so I thought you could kill him and some of the strong cultivators in that clan. After that, we could extract their profound veins and match them to Tang Wan and the others’ bodies, so they can start cultivating as soon as possible.”
“Hmm?” Xiao Hei thought for some time before asking him again. “Wouldn’t it be better if I killed their ancestor? The Nalan Clan will slowly disintegrate if that person is dead, right?”
