Snow Heavenly Consort had been standing quietly to the side. Her long-lashed eyes narrowed into slits as she watched Lu Qing'an pat Luo Danhong on the shoulder, her teeth clenched tight.

But she wasn't acting this way just because of Luo Danhong; it was also because of Xu Yunyi.

Why did she suddenly decide to stay here?!

Besides, Lu Qing'an was treating his ex-wife's younger sister so well. Was it because of his ex-wife, or because of Xu Yunyi?

In the future, these two gorgeous women, whose looks were barely inferior to hers, would be living here. She felt immense pressure!

Could she really pull off being a stepmother?!

Listening to Lu Qing'an's words and seeing the shifting expressions on his face, a warm current washed over Xu Yunyi's heart, completely melting the coldness that had settled there after how she had been treated back in the Immortal Ruins.

Her sister had actually missed out on such a wonderful man!!

“Yunyi, if you're free, I'll convert your cultivation base right now,” Lu Qing'an said, turning to look at Xu Yunyi.

Xu Yunyi nodded decisively. “I'm free right now!”

“Then come on in.” Lu Qing'an walked toward the room.

Snow Heavenly Consort: “...”

They aren't going to be in the same room...

Lu Qing'an sat cross-legged behind Xu Yunyi, channeling his power as he began to convert her cultivation base.

His current cultivation strength was already several times what it used to be. For any cultivation level below the Great Emperor Realm, he could easily convert it at will.

In truth, the logic behind converting one's cultivation base was very simple, much like giving someone a blood transfusion. He just needed to use his vast Demonic Qi to cleanse Xu Yunyi's meridians, and then employ powerful methods to convert her Dantian into one suited for cultivating Demonic Art.

The prerequisite for success was that his strength had to be at least a thousand or even ten thousand times greater than that of the person whose cultivation was being converted.

With Xu Yunyi's current strength, he could now easily complete this task.

The time it took for an incense stick to burn passed.

Lu Qing'an successfully completed the task and calmly withdrew his power.

“Alright, take a close look at the state of your Dantian and see if you feel any discomfort.”

Lu Qing'an stood up.

Xu Yunyi opened her eyes, looking at her hands in astonishment.

As she channeled her power, dense Demonic Qi surged from her palms.

It worked!

It really worked!

She knew that if her brother-in-law said it was possible, it would definitely happen!!

“Brother-in-law! Thank you so much!” Xu Yunyi stood up, looking at Lu Qing'an excitedly, and quickly bowed deeply.

Lu Qing'an quickly stopped her. “You silly girl, why are you being so polite with me?”

“I have to be. After all, we aren't technically related anymore...” Xu Yunyi said with a bitter smile.

Lu Qing'an shook his head and smiled. “Are you still Zixuan and Miaomiao's aunt then?”

Xu Yunyi blinked.

“Right? So, our relationship remains unchanged. Don't let what happened between your sister and me cause any rift in your heart. Just live comfortably here from now on. If anything comes up, come straight to me. There is nothing here that I can't handle,” Lu Qing'an said with a smile.

Looking at Lu Qing'an, a peculiar emotion welled up in Xu Yunyi's heart, and she gave a soft murmur of agreement.

“Alright, you will be studying Formations with Luo Danhong from now on, so let her help you choose a cultivation technique to practice. She knows better than I do which Demonic Realm cultivation techniques suit you best. If there's nothing else, take some time to get used to your current state. I'll head out first.”

After Lu Qing'an finished speaking, he walked out of the room.

Seeing Lu Zixuan and the others gather around to ask how it went, he returned a smile and told them that it was a success.

Hearing that Lu Qing'an had actually succeeded in converting Xu Yunyi's cultivation base, the respect in Luo Danhong's eyes when she looked at him deepened even further.

Frighteningly strong!

Even the cultivation base of a Saint King Realm expert could be converted!

“Let her rest well. Zixuan, make sure you take good care of your sister tonight when you sleep, and don't disturb your aunt.”

“Okay!”

Inside the quiet room.

The moonlight filtered through the screen window, casting its glow onto the bedside.

Xu Yunyi sat cross-legged on the bed, her profile looking exceptionally stunning under the moonlight.

She let out a long breath, having completely adapted to her new Demonic Realm cultivation base.

“I knew brother-in-law would be able to do it!”

A smile appeared on Xu Yunyi's face, but then, thinking of her sister and brother, a frown crept back onto her face.

Ever since she left the Immortal Ruins, her Sound Transmission Jade Slip had been vibrating constantly; her brother had been sending her transmissions.

The Sound Transmission Jade Slip vibrated again. She checked it and found that it was still her brother trying to reach her.

“Forget it, that matter has nothing to do with my little brother. He must be really worried about me right now.”

Xu Yunyi infused her Demonic Qi and activated the Sound Transmission Jade Slip.

“Second Sister! You finally answered me! Have you made it back there?!”

Xu Xuanyu's anxious voice came through the Sound Transmission Jade Slip.

Hearing her brother's tone, Xu Yunyi said, “Brother-in-law has already brought me back. The two kids were very happy when they found out I was staying here.”

Hearing that Xu Yunyi was fine, Xu Xuanyu immediately breathed a sigh of relief. “Good, as long as you're okay. Second Sister, you really scared me earlier...”

He was still feeling a lingering sense of dread.

He hadn't expected his second sister's reaction to be so extreme!

“Is Sister nearby?” Xu Yunyi asked.

Xu Xuanyu replied, “No, I'm in my own residence.”

“If I hadn't done that earlier, I would likely have been confined for a very long time, and there would be no guarantee of my freedom in the future. That Lin Qingxue is no good person!” Xu Yunyi said with utmost seriousness.

“So, Second Sister, you really weren't subjected to some Demonic Realm secret technique by Lu Qing'an?” Xu Xuanyu asked.

“Of course not! Let me tell you, just now, brother-in-law successfully converted my cultivation base! It was highly successful, and not a single problem occurred!” Xu Yunyi knew her brother was genuinely worried about her, so she didn't hide her situation.

“You're not lying to me?! The cultivation conversion was really successful?!” Xu Xuanyu asked in shock.

“It really succeeded! Sigh, little brother, your prejudice against brother-in-law has always been far too deep. He is truly, truly wonderful!” Xu Yunyi couldn't help but feel aggrieved on Lu Qing'an's behalf.

It wasn't that she was annoyed with her brother, but every time she saw him treating such a good brother-in-law this way, she couldn't help but want to correct him.

But This kid was truly incorrigible...

Xu Xuanyu fell silent.

“Second Sister, to be honest, I'm completely confused now too. But I do have some common sense. You're already at the Saint King Realm; how could this possibly work...”

Xu Xuanyu scratched his head. He wasn't particularly bright to begin with, and his second sister often smacked him on the head. Now, he was completely at a loss for how to process this.

Xu Yunyi took a deep breath, feeling that there was no longer any need to keep secrets from her brother.

“Little brother, as long as you promise me not to tell Eldest Sister what I'm about to say, I'll tell you something that will instantly make sense of everything!”

“Can't tell Eldest Sister? Second Sister, what do you want to say?”

“Don't ask me! Hurry up and promise, preferably swear an oath! Swear that if you tell Eldest Sister, you will never be able to win over the woman you love most for the rest of your life!” Xu Yunyi forced Xu Xuanyu to make an oath that was incredibly cruel to him.

“Second Sister! You! Are you crazy?! How can you make me swear such an oath so lightly?!” Xu Xuanyu gasped in shock.

“Are you going to swear it or not?! If you don't, I'm ignoring you!” Xu Yunyi threatened.

Xu Xuanyu thought about it, finally gritted his teeth, and began to swear the oath.

“Alright, I've sworn the oath. Can you tell me now?”

“Alright. Actually, brother-in-law is not just a Peak of the Great Emperor Realm expert of the Demonic Realm. He has another identity. He is the Eternal Night Demon Emperor of the Demonic Realm!”

The moment those words were spoken, both Sound Transmission Jade Slips fell into absolute silence.

Not a single sound was heard even after two breaths of time.
