The Way of The Dao

"Is little Tian really okay?"

The night was starting when the women gathered as usual in the living room.

Tang Zhi asked when she noticed the concerns of all the girls. She and Zhang Ruoyan had never stopped coming to Mu House these days, always looking out for their daughters. They both considered all the girls as their daughters too.

"He should be fine, aunt Zhi." Yun Mengxin responded with a soft smile. "Our husband must have found an abnormality in his cultivation, so he should be carefully checking his whole body for any specific problem."

Although Yun Mengxin was confident that Ling Tian was fine in spite of everything, she as his woman could not help but worry about her man as well.

She had not noticed or perceived any abnormality or problem with Ling Tian when she stayed in his room with him for a few moments, so he should be fine for now.

Her connection with him also remained normal, without any problems. Yun Mengxin was sure that if Ling Tian had a problem, she would feel it instantly.

"Sisters, don't worry." Yun Mengxin saw the worrying expressions of all her sisters and said in a reassuring tone, "Our man should be fine, there hasn't been any problem with him so far. I know this may seem a little worrying to you, but it is even normal for any cultivator to be in such a state for a long time."

Yun Mengxin knew that Ling Tian could even spend years in that state, therefore she tried to comfort the other women.

Still, all the other women were worried about Ling Tian, especially Long Yuyin. She thought that maybe it was her fault for being intimate with Ling Tian. However, Yun Mengxin assured her that it was not her fault, so in the end she was a little relieved.

Each of them had been staying with Ling Tian for several hours, taking turns in any changes that occurred.

Lan Yin was the saddest of them all. She did not want anything bad to happen to her Master. Mu Shuiruo hugged her tenderly, trying not to make her feel sad.

"Is there really no problem with little Tian?" Zhang Ruoyan asked when she saw Yun Mengxin's confidence in Ling Tian.

"Mmn." Yun Mengxin nodded with a soft smile, "He's really fine... it's just that his cultivation is somewhat different from ours, so something should have happened that needs his full attention. Maybe his cultivation will increase after all this." She said this as she checked Ling Tian through her spiritual sense.

"Big sister." Zhang Xinya looked at Yun Mengxin and asked her with obvious concern on her face, "I know that you are our husband's first woman and our big sister, so I'm sure you should know more about him, right? Didn't Ling Tian tell you something else about him? That he had a previous problem or something?"

Zhang Xinya asked as she remembered Ling Tian's confident, loving looks at Yun Mengxin. She knew that Yun Mengxin was Ling Tian's first woman, so he might have told her something he didn't tell the others, perhaps for some unknown reason. Also, after all this time, it seemed that Yun Mengxin knew many things about Ling Tian, as if she really was his lifelong wife, knowing their husband's secrets and past as if the two of them had been together since forever.

The other girls also looked at Yun Mengxin. They all knew that the two of them were the first to become lovers, so Ling Tian could tell Yun Mengxin something else that he didn't tell anyone else.

Yun Mengxin looked at the worried faces of her sworn sisters.

"It's not my place to tell, but..." Yun Mengxin spoke slowly, drawing the attention of all the women to her: "Our husband's past is much more painful than he had told you, as is the situation he had been in before he came into this world."

"Yes, he told me all about his situation and I know almost all about his life, but there are some things that are very important and very complicated about him, so it is a little difficult to explain. We'd better wait for our husband to explain these things to you, and it's not because I want to hide them from all of you, but because it's an absolutely complicated subject that's not for me to say."

"Don't worry, our husband is fine. He and I share a unique and special connection, so I can assure you that Ling Tian is completely fine. He must be completely focused on his cultivation state. If there were any problems with him, I would feel it right away and tell you."

Yun Mengxin finished speaking quietly, smiling softly as she tried to convey confidence and comfort to her beloved sisters.

"We just have to wait for him to come out of his state and he will tell us what is wrong with him." Yun Mengxin spoke for the last time, while looking at the room where Tang Wanying and Ling Tian were.

Now it was Tang Wanying's turn, so she was with Ling Tian.

Zhang Ruoyan and Tang Zhi nodded in relief at the sight of Yun Mengxin's confidence.

They all realized that there should be something deeper in Ling Tian's past. They would only wait until Ling Tian came out of his state and told them what had happened to him.

Tang Zhi and Zhang Ruoyan left soon after, leaving a group of beautiful but worried women for a man who was still checking on the state of his cultivation.

Sigh

'At least I can be sure that whatever is mixed in my cultivation, it's not a bad thing... for me at least.'

After so much time, Ling Tian could not check or know what was really in his Immortal Essence, but he knew that somehow that was compatible and would not hurt him, maybe... it might even be helpful to him later on but not knowing in what way, as he felt a slight qualitative change in his Immortal Essence.

'I can be sure that it was not because I was with Yuyin, but I would have the same problem after being with Mengxin and little Shuiruo...' Ling Tian thought as he recalled the times he had been intimate with Yun Mengxin and Mu Shuiruo, but that nothing like this had ever happened.

He took one last look at all the space before leaving his Dantian.

Ling Tian slowly opened his eyes after so long. He knew instantly that it was already night, as the moonlight entered the room dimly.

Huh?

He was surprised to see Tang Wanying sitting in front of him, with a worried look. Her beautiful eyelashes trembled slightly with excitement when she saw him wake up.

"Finally you open your eyes..." Tang Wanying murmured in a relieved tone before throwing herself into his embrace.

Bam!

Ling Tian did not react to her hug and fell on his back on the bed, with Tang Wanying's body on top of him. Her soft mountains were pressing against his chest as she hugged him tightly.

"What happened, Wanying?" Ling Tian asked her with a bit of concern, as he lovingly held her in his arms trying to calm her and then lowered his gaze to watch her.
