Chapter 162 - Frantic Thoughts Clouded Mind

"Mother has instructed us all to just find our own happiness… and since we have all but agreed to become your lovers… we shall follow you"

Yun Long looked at the five, and just asked them "Is that all that will make you happy? You have to know that I will not always be by your side… in fact more than often I will not be by your side, so where will you find happiness in the time I am away?"

Surprisingly it was Yun Zi and Yun Yin who spoke up first, who just said in respectful voices;

"Our only priority is to serve our big sisters" Yun Yin said in a serene voice

"Even if we are blood related, our standing is still unworthy before them, we only hope to serve them as our mothers served theirs" Yun Zi said in a quiet voice.

This caused their three big sisters to furrow their eyebrows slightly but they did not say anything, it was like they already knew they could not successfully change their mindset.

Yun Long also remembered how their mothers acted before the three Primordial Divine Beasts and his eyes flashed.

"Hmm… little Zi, little Yin, from now on you are banned from interacting with your sisters" Yun Long said in a bland voice.

Yun Xiang and Yun Bai looked at him oddly whilst Yun Xuan's eyes flashed, as if she had already understood what Yun Long was trying to accomplish here.

Yun Zi and Yun Yin just looked at Yun Long with wrinkled eyebrows "Why?" they asked with agitated voices.

"Why? Because you do not even treat them as sisters, and you are making your own sisters feel uncomfortable due to your own thoughts, even I can clearly see that they wish that you treated them as what they are, your big sisters, since you cannot even comprehend that, I will not allow you to cause them more discomfort, and also it will allow you to find your own path in life, so you can hate me for doing so, but I will be separating you for now"

Yun Long explained before he removed them from the Sky Garden of Life, unlike the other islands within the Immortal Origin Void Realm, this was the only one he had total control of because of his acquisition of the true Sky Poison Pearl.

Yun Xuan just sighed "You know… they are going to hate you for what you are doing… those little girls' whole life is centred around their big sisters… ai…"

Yun Long smiled as he just stroked her hair "They can hate me for now… even forever… but if that is the price I have to pay in order for them to gain their true freedom then so be it… honestly their mothers should never have forced their thoughts on them… their mothers beautiful loyalty compromised their daughters slightly, but it is not something that can be repaired"

Yun Xuan just enjoyed his touch as she closed his eyes, "Xi'er, can I ask you to look after those two for now?" Yun Long asked.

"Are you sure? Unlike my three sisters here… those two actually have a greater reason to hate me…" Shen Xi responded with a sigh of her own.

"Hmm… you might be right… but if that is what causes their mentality to shift then so be it…" Yun Long said after he pondered for a while.

Thinking that this episode had ended, Yun Long bid them all goodbye as he prepared to return to the place, he had been avoiding for months now…

Going over to the hot springs, Yun Long just hopped in as he closed his eyes and wanted to release some of the mental fatigue, he had developed from trying to figure out what he was going to do with all the people he had now involved with his life.

Closing his eyes, he started to converse with Est.

'Est, what do you think your Big Brother should do?'

'Onii-chan should do whatever he wants to do, Est will follow you no matter what you do!'

'From your words before… I am guessing that Father-in-Law has a surprise for me… your intuition… do you still feel the same way?'

'Un, Onii-chan, even though we will leave for a long time, for the others like the Xia Qingyue girl, it will not be that long until you come back to them…'

'I see… then I will conclude everything from this half of the story before we leave then…' Yun Long said cryptically as he finally opened his eyes as he left his mental conversation with Est.

When he opened his eyes, he saw the two people he had been avoiding for the past two odd months… his two dear mothers, Hua Mei and Dongxue who were also relaxing in the hot springs with a towel on.

Sighing, he knew he couldn't avoid this forever, first he was one hundred percent sure that they should have noticed something about the mark, and secondly, he did take Qingyue's vɨrġɨnɨtƴ, after all they were the ones that cleaned up his mess…

"You finally are willing to look at your mother now Long'er?" Hua Mei said in a sad voice.

Yun Long just replied tiredly "I was talking with someone just now… it was not like I was ignoring you on purpose mother…"

"Hmm… whilst that may be true… you cannot believe yourself when you say that you have been ignoring us recently? Ever since you placed that mark you have been acting distant… what is wrong Long'er? Was it something mother did?" Hua Mei asked whilst looking into his eyes.

"Not really… the last month or two was quite frantic, that was all… it came by fast… some things have been on my mind… you know I will never hate you mother…" he replied after pondering for a while.

Hua Mei just nodded and sat next to him as they just soaked in the hot springs.

Dongxue finally spoke up, as she just asked "Long'er… can we talk about that now?"

"About how I took the vɨrġɨnɨtƴ of Yue'er and her maid, Dongling? If you wish to speak about it then of course we can" Yun Long replied.

Dongxue just nodded, but she had a slight blush on her face which Yun Long just ȧssumed to be the result from the heat of the springs.

"I can already tell that it was Yue'er who was the one that lead to your… anyways, it still doesn't change the fact that it was just too early… your age… and also the fact that you did it before you got married is slightly worrying… I just do not want anyone to slander her for being a 'used' woman…" Dongxue said as she remembered that humiliation she had received in the 'alternate' life.

"Hmm… me and Qingyue have bodies that are more mȧturė than many aged sixteen in some aspects, but overall characteristics are around those aged fifteen… so that really is not an issue… whether it is before or after the marriage doesn't matter, that is just a ceremony, in my heart she is already my wife, and I am sure in her heart she views me as her husband, as for anyone slandering her, I will just kill them"

Hearing him, Hua Mei was slightly upset, but he just escaped by dipping his head under the water.

"Listen mother… I am not a good person, I already have 4 women, if we go by how many I ȧssociate with, it already has reached double figures… and that number will not settle, it will continue to rise, like I told you before, the morals you hold sacred mean nothing to me, my morals are all based on my feelings, so if someone disrespects Qingyue, my initial thought is to kill them since they dared to disrespect her… if someone slanders me for being in a relationship with the mother of one of my wives, I will kill them, if the world slanders me, then I will just slaughter the world!" Yun Long said as his voice gradually increased with each statement.

Hua Mei just looked at him with worry filling her eyes, she decided to get up and gave Dongxue a look, which she recognised as her making the decision.

"Long'er, come scrub your old mothers back, I am too tired today to do so"

Yun Long thought nothing of it and just went over and helped her, as he was rubbing the soap onto her back, he kept looking at the Pink Diamond Phoenix, and the previously pure Diamond Dragon now flickering with a pink light that was similar to Dongxue's Phoenix mark.

In Xing Mei's case, it was slightly different, she wasn't the one that 'raised' Yun Long, so he wasn't so conflicted since she was only the mother of one of his future wives, in his eyes there was no fuss to be raised.

Dongxue and Hua Mei noticed his current expression and they understood that what they had talked about the previous day had indeed come true.

Looking out the side of her eye, she blinked three times at Dongxue, who just blushed as she looked down at the floor, wondering why exactly she was listening to her crazy sister Mei…
