The Fallen Consort

After sending Li Zhuan away, she immediately went towards her chambers. After shortly arriving, she dived her soul into the Ring. She instantly went towards the East Courtyard to get some medicine books that Muxin gave to her before.

"Welcome back wifey, are you here to continue where we left off?" Muxin smiled innocently.

Hearing Muxin's words, Yi Ling stopped walking. Her face was turning red. Flashes of images ran to her mind. Images that they shared recently and from her previous lives. She instantly shook her head and ran as fast as she could. Anywhere far from this lecherous man!

Muxin might look angelic and innocent with his white robe and white hair, yet his aura feels more devilish than King Jin ah ~!

Seeing her flee, Muxin chuckled. Still, he decided to follow his little wife. Anywhere she goes, he would always follow behind.

When he arrived, Yi Ling was making copies of the books. Luckily, she could control everything inside the Ring. She would only have to think at will, to copy these books. Not only did she copy the books for medicine, but also about Alchemy. If she wanted to follow Muxin's advice by leaving compatible subordinates inside the sect, she would need to select an alchemist as well.

Seeing her being busy and neglecting him again, Muxin sighed and sat next to her. He had become idle ever since his soul had been split up into two. Neither this soul nor his body had the energy to do anything. Although he was stuck in this place, he knew his body well. After all, he was too idle before Yang Hualing arrived in Heaven. Only when Yang Hualing arrived did he had the energy to do things around his Kingdom.

Seeing his wife busy, he was at peace. Although she was neglecting her duties as his wife, he was contented to see her alive. That's all that matters to him.

After copying everything, only then Yi Ling noticed Muxin beside her. Was he there the whole time?

"Done?" Muxin smiled at her.

"En. Aside from Medicine and Alchemy, I also wish for the Linyu and the others to take in their own disciples. Since I'll be bringing Qianru with me, she wouldn't have the time to teach. Having the other 4 to spread their own knowledge would certainly help the Sect. Having their specialties being focused on, it shouldn't be bad." Yi Ling rubbed her chin as she revealed her plans.

Muxin smiled. He had watch over Yi Ling since she was 10 years old. Seeing her grow up slowly, it made him happy. It was the same as when he watched Meiling grow from she was a kid. Muxin grabbed her hand and said, "Do as you wish. I will always be behind you for support." After saying it, he gently brought her hand to her lips. Giving it a soft kiss.

Yi Ling pursed her lips, her cheeks were getting redder. She pulled her hand and gently cough to change the atmosphere.

"I was also thinking of bringing some Spiritual Beasts in the Sect. What do you think? I know they would listen to me and Tefei, but would they listen to any other human?"

Muxin raised his brows to Yi Ling. "Spiritual Beasts are proud individuals since the time that you created them. They followed you because you are their creator and Tefei is their King. If you wish for them to follow a human, that human must gain their trust and their respect. To do this, one must subdue that beast and form a contract. Unfortunately, since the Spiritual Energy had condensed more in their territories, humans are no match to them. That's why humans were unable to eradicate the Spiritual Beasts nor take away their territories.

If you wish to only make them as guards for the Sect, you only need to order them. But if you wish for the disciples to gain their own contracted beasts, that would be a hard task to do. Even if they listen to you, there would always be a backfire during the contract process. The human and the beast might die."

Yi Ling gasped. She didn't think that far ahead. "Is there no other way?" She can't just give up on it.

"Hmm... There is, but it would involve contacting my body." Muxin's brows furrowed.

"King Jin? Why?"

"My powers can cleanse a Spiritual Beast's mind, making it more docile and approachable. It would help the humans get close to the Spiritual Beasts and form their bonds." This was how Meiling was able to let her subordinates form contracts with Spiritual Beasts before.

"But he is in heaven, right? I wouldn't be able to go there yet."

"En. You can't." Muxin nodded. "But our son can."

"Minzhe?" Right! Minzhe was beyond sainthood and he has the powers of a diety! Opening the gates of heaven should be easy for him! But then, a thought invaded her mind.

"Why does Minzhe hated you at the same time? I saw him freak out when King Jin came before."

"That... He hated me too before, just that he had grown used to me having two identities. He hated me that I wasn't there to save you when it happened. When he grew up, he started to respect me since I slowly gave him my knowledge and showing him my real affection as his father. Yet he still hated me for what happened to his mother, so he directed his hate to my real body. Now that we are okay, it should be fine with him now. If anything happens, my body would be the one who will be left confused when Minzhe shows up to his doors." Muxin shrugged his shoulders.

Amidst their conversation, Minzhe sneezed. Was someone bad-mouthing him?!
