Imperceptibly, five days had passed in the outside world, and Xia Tian had trained together with his women for about a year and eight months in the Ancient Sacred Realm.
Since the quota to go inside is full, so the other women couldn't enter the space. Even so, He Shiyun could go in and out freely, for she was a crane beast, and she kept giving him new information every day.
However, there were no significant problems outside the world. The days went very smoothly for the shop, and their sales grew by leaps and bounds.
Unfortunately, after Zheng Mo bought Xia Tian's five fruits, no cultivators bought them agin, mainly because their price was exorbitant.
Meanwhile, the alchemist guild was in a tight corner, especially after Yang Ye couldn't prove his allegation that Xia Tian stole their pill recipes, which made their sales continue to drop.
Feng Xian'er was relieved that Xiao Bai didn't come to the shop anymore, for he was frightened by his grandfather's threats.
Even so, Xiao Hao did not sit idly by after receiving Sun Qingxue's warning and sent his men to monitor the Long Tian Shop. Yet, he couldn't find anything extraordinary about the store, especially since Xia Tian was still in seclusion.
Hua Xiangyue also lived quietly, for Sheng Jun had shut himself in the room since he was released from Xia Tian's illusion, so she could focus on deepening her alchemy skills.
Xiao Chen kept asking Ling Chen to spar with her, but she had never won against her once, which made her feelings down for a while.
But Ling Chen kept motivating Xiao Chen, and their relationship quickly became quite close, especially since they were the same age.
As for Bai Zhongying, she kept herself locked up in her room for five days, enthusiastic about awakening her sword spirit.
Seeing her so enthusiastic, Jian Wuqing kept giving Bai Zhongying hints so she could do it faster, sbut he still couldn't manage to awaken her sword spirit.
During those five days, Sheng Ling continued to live in the Xia Mansion, and she spent her time relaxing with Tian Qilian and the others. Moreover, she had also become increasingly close to Xia Qilian, which made her think about having a child soon.
As for Mei Yun, after she had trained for a long time according to the conditions given to her by Xia Tian several months ago, she was still unable to use Sword Will, but she never seemed to give up and kept trying to do so.
However, another woman was tormented for five days, and Sun Qingxue even had trouble sleeping, especially since many memories that weren't hers kept surfacing, making her keep thinking about Xia Tian.
Sun Qingxue even went to Xia Mansion many times. Yet, she never set foot inside and only contacted her daughter to ask about Xia Tian. However, she was to be disappointed because he still hadn't come out of his seclusion.
During their training in the Ancient Sacred Realm, Xia Tian had never once cultivated with his women, for they were serious about improving their abilities, so he didn't want to break their concentration.
Even so, Xia Tian's cultivation had already increased by another two minor stages, and he had now reached the 5th Stage of Heaven Origin Realm. Besides, he had managed to perfectly master the ninth stage of the Nine Sword Changes and also learned some of his old techniques, which he felt were suitable for the current him.
At first, Xia Tian still had yet to learn the technique he found in the Book Hall in the Star-Moon Sect, especially since his cultivation had not been broken through to the Divine Realm.
Yet, Alice kept persuading him to start practicing the Death God Arts. Xia Tian finally gave in and learned it. Even so, he could only learn the first of the five stages of the technique, mainly because it required an enormous amount of energy to use.
At the end of the day, Xia Tian finally decided to come out of his seclusion, especially since the deadline for completing the mission regarding Sun Qingxue was about to end, and it was one day left. If he didn't take care of things soon, he feared losing the key to unlocking one of the seals on Bai Yinyue.
Xia Tian was stunned when he appeared in his room because Sheng Ling was sleeping on his bed, and she was only wearing a light nightgown, making her beautiful curves show clearly in his eyes. 'Why is she sleeping here? Is she waiting for me?'
Sensing Xia Tian's presence, Sheng Ling immediately opened her eyes and stared at him dumbfoundedly. Still, soon she covered herself with the blanket. 'Ugh! Why did he suddenly come out? He must have seen my body!'
Xia Tian smiled, amused by seeing Sheng Ling's reaction; he then got on the bed and pulled the blanket. "Why are you in my bedroom, Little Princess? Are you impatient for me to eat you?"
"No!" Sheng Ling screamed and jumped off the bed, but she was unlucky for her dress to catch on Xia Tian's legs, and her naked body was instantly exposed before his eyes.
Xia Tian gulped hard to see her flawless body but immediately threw the blanket at Sheng Ling. "Get dressed, and I want to see your mother to discuss her situation."
"I'll come with you!" Sheng Ling shouted.
Xia Tian nodded in agreement and left his room, and he went to see his daughter first, but Xia Qilian was already fast asleep.
Tian Qilian turned to him with a smile. "Congratulations, Husband. Your cultivation has already broken through four minor stages; sooner or later, you will surpass me."
"En, thank you." Xia Tian then kissed Tian Qilian's lips briefly. "I'm sorry I didn't accompany you and our daughter for the last few days."
"It's okay." Tian Qilian replied with a smile. "Since you've come out of seclusion, you can accompany us again later. But now, you must settle things with Sun Qingxue, or she will continue to be tormented by her condition."
"En, I will go meet her right now." Xia Tian kissed Tian Qilian's lips again and immediately left his wife's room.

A while later, Sheng Ling took Xia Tian to the Imperial Palace. Nevertheless, they didn't follow the regular route but through a secret passage, for she didn't want the soldiers to know of his presence, especially since they were going to her mother's room.
In fact, Xia Tian could easily enter Sun Qingxue's room by using the Void Breaking Steps. Yet, he chose to follow Sheng Ling, for he also wanted to know the situation in the palace.
Before long, they had arrived at Sun Qingxue's room and saw her looking up at the night sky with a gloomy face.
'Hey, what exactly happened between you and my mother? Why does she keep thinking about you?' Shen Ling curiously asked through voice transmission.
Xia Tian sighed heavily and answered her. 'In your mother's soul, there is a tiny portion of Liu Lifen's soul, and all the memories that soul carry affect your mother.'
'Liu Lifen? Who's she?'
'Lifen was my wife in the past, so you no longer need to be surprised about her situation.'
Sheng Ling's jaw dropped upon hearing that; she had previously thought her mother was Liu Lifen's reincarnation. Although her guess was wrong, her guess was fitting that the strange thing that happened to Sun Qingxue was related to his wife.
Sheng Ling took a deep breath and asked. 'Can you get your wife's soul out of my mother's soul?'
'Only Old Yao can do it, but I must do something about your mother first.' Xia Tian replied as he walked towards Sun Qingxue.
However, Sheng Ling immediately grabbed Xia Tian's hand and asked again. 'What are you going to do to my mother?'
'Sigh, I have to weaken your mother's soul first; only then can Old Yao separate their souls, and your mother will return to normal afterward.'
'Hmm?' Sheng Ling raised her eyebrows. 'How do you weaken my mother's soul? Can you do that with your current soul power?'
Xia Tian smiled awkwardly at her question; he then brought his face close to Sheng Ling's ear and whispered to her, causing her to glare at him fiercely.
Before Sheng Ling shouted at him, Xia Tian immediately covered her mouth with his hand. 'I have no other choice, okay? I can only weaken your mother's soul by making her reach the peak of pleasure, or else Old Yao will not be able to separate their souls, and your mother will continue to be affected by it.'
Sheng Ling took a deep breath and nodded to him, but her feelings were messed up because of that. Although she hates her father very much, they are still husband and wife, but now Xia Tian wants to do such a thing to her mother.
However, Sheng Ling suddenly remembered her father's evil intentions toward her, causing her to be furious. 'Heh! I want to see that bastard's expression; if he finds out my mother did such a thing with another man, I believe his expression will be horrible.'
Xia Tia pulled his hand away from her mouth and approached Sun Qingxue, but Sheng Ling didn't stop him anymore, and she followed behind him.
When he arrived behind Sun Qingxue, Xia Tian tapped her on the shoulder. "What are you thinking?"
