Tang Yuan then spoke to Mu Qingge. "I'm still surprised to hear that you decided to accept Xiao'er, Sister Qingge. However, I will be thrilled if you become his wife, and our two clans will be one in the future."
"You can see for yourself Yan'er's attitude regarding Tang Xiao, right?" Tang Yuan nodded at Mu Qingge. "I don't understand how she suddenly got that close to him, but she has never asked me to get married before, so I decided to accept him for her sake. Even so, our relationship is still at its starting point, and we still need time to build it.
"That's true." Tang Yuan then told Mu Qingge. "You must keep your relationship with Xiao'er secret, or your admirers on Earth II will hunt him down if they hear about it, especially that idiot from the Cao Clan."
"You don't need to worry about Cao Song; I believe he won't dare to leave his clan for a long time." Tang Yuan raised her eyebrows upon hearing that, and Mu Qingge smiled slightly before telling her. "Some time ago, he came to our clan to propose to me. He was furious because I rejected him, and he wanted to force me, so I froze his dick before breaking it into pieces."
After hearing that, Tang Yuan and the three seniors turned to Mu Qingge with wide eyes. "Did you really do that to Cao Song? Why did you never tell me about this matter?"
"Father, it's just a small matter, so I don't think it's necessary to tell you about it." Mu Lin wanted to say something to her, but Mu Qingge continued straight away. "Moreover, I was with Sister Zhang Xingcai at the time. She contacted Cao Teng and threatened him to sever relations with their clan, so they wouldn't dare to do anything to me, or they would suffer themselves."
"Hahaha!" Tang Huang laughed out loud. "Hey, Old Lin! Cao Teng wouldn't dare go against Old Sun, so you don't need to think about that matter. However, I'm glad to hear that idiot has become an effeminate man, so he won't be able to harm other women anymore."
"I agree." Tantai Lingyan nodded. "Cao Song has harmed many women in the past, but he ultimately suffered at the hands of Qingge. I will go straight to the Cao Clan if Cao Teng dares to attack the Mu Clan, especially since she is my disciple's future wife now."

"Can I talk to you, Yan'er?"
Mu Yan looked at Tang Yin and nodded to her. "What do you want to talk to me about, Big Sis?"
Tang Yin sat beside Mu Yan and took her hand. "Yan'er, I know that you want your mother to marry Xiao'er soon, and I hope for the same, but you should know that one's feelings cannot be forced. Aunt Qingge had a terrible past experience with your father, and the pain lingers in her heart even now, so she still needs time to accept him. At least she has given him a chance to enter her heart, so you just need to wait for their relationship to bloom, and they will become husband and wife in the near future."
"Sigh! You're right, Big Sis." Mu Yan then pulled Tang Yin to lie beside her and hugged her. "Honestly, I feel strange about my feelings for Big Brother myself, especially since I recently met him. However, there is something in my soul that makes me feel so close to him, making me impatient for him to be my father."
'Hmm?' Tang Yin raised her eyebrows because she felt the same feeling as Mu Yan, and it also came from deep within her soul.
Mu Yan looked up at Tang Yin and stroked her cheek. "In fact, I also feel the same way toward you, Big Sis. Somehow, I feel that I have known you for so long, even though obviously we met for the first time two days ago, so I feel confused about my feelings."
"I also feel that way about you, Yan'er." Mu Yan was surprised to hear Tang Yin's words. "I've thought about various possibilities, but I don't have an answer to that strange feeling. Perhaps we may find the answer soon, so you don't need to think too much about it, and the answer will come to us by itself."
"I know." Mu Yan then snuggled into Tang Yin's arms while closing her eyes and sniffing her scent, but a faint smile unconsciously appeared on her face.
After a while, Tang Yin heard soft snoring sounds, and she saw that Mu Yan had already fallen asleep. She caressed her hair while gently patting her back, just like her mother used to do for her when she was a child. 'Seeing her like this makes me want to have a child with Xiao'er, and I'm curious about what our child will look like. Unfortunately, we still have many things to deal with, and our cultivation is still too low, so I'll have to wait patiently for quite some time before asking him to impregnate me.'
Suddenly, Mu Yan muttered something very quietly. "I'm glad that you two are happy now, Yin'er and Xiao'er."
Tang Yin froze after she heard Mu Yan's muttering because she called them like that, and she tried to listen to her words more clearly.
"We know that you two have always loved each other since childhood, and your father repeatedly asked me to let you two love each other, but I could never accept such a relationship because you guys are siblings." Mu Yan muttered in a sad tone, which made Tang Yin completely shocked. "However, you two are husband and wife now, and mom is happy for you."
'Mom?' Tang Yin muttered in shock after she listened to Mu Yan's words just now. 'How is that possible? Our mother died 18 years ago, and Yan'er is 17 years old now.'
After she thought about it, Tang Yin carefully carried Mu Yan, and she took her to the laboratory as she contacted Xiao Ai to meet them there.

"What about her, Xiao Ai?" Tang Yin asked as she observed the monitor showing the course of Mu Yan's examination.
Xiao Ai stretched out her hand and pointed at the two different wavelengths on the screen. "Based on this data, there are indeed two souls within Mu Yan's body, Mistress. The first soul is her original soul, and the second soul is most likely the soul of your deceased mother."
Tang Yin looked at Xiao Ai in shock. "How could that happen? How could our mother's soul reside within her?"
"Actually, this is not strange, since the old master and I have encountered several people with double souls in the past, Mistress." Tang Yin raised an eyebrow at Xiao Ai, who immediately continued. "I don't know the exact details of how it happened, but he once mentioned that it was due to the burden on the deceased's heart. Perhaps she was worried about the two of you when she died, so she didn't enter the reincarnation circle, but her soul entered Mu Yan's body instead."
Tang Yin was dazed after listening to Xiao Ai's explanation, but she remembered the strange closeness she felt from Mu Yan, and her explanation made the most sense in answering her feelings. "No wonder we have a strange closeness to her; it turns out our mother's soul resides in her. Sigh. I have to discuss this matter with Xiao'er. By the way, can you separate their souls?"
Xiao Ai shook her head and explained it to Tang Yin. "Unfortunately, I can't do that because your mother's soul is too weak, and she has to rely on Mu Yan's soul strength, or else she will disappear forever because her time to enter the circle of reincarnation has long passed."
"Do you think my deceased mother's soul will affect Yan'er's character?" Tang Yin looked at Mu Yan.
"Yes." Xiao Ai nodded to Tang Yin. "Mu Yan feels close to you and my master because of your late mother's soul, which has been in her body for too long, and it has influenced her to some extent."
Tang Yin let out a soft sigh and picked up Mu Yan, taking her back to her room. Xiao Ai looked at them with a guilty look. "I'm sorry, Mistress. I made a promise to my old master, so I can't tell you the truth."

[Xiao Ai's memories]
Eighteen years ago, two people stood in the sky, their gazes fixed on the Tang House, but Old Tang Xiao's expression was filled with sadness and disappointment as he watched Zhao Jing stand on a chair and tie a rope to a large tree behind the house. He definitely realized her purpose in doing that, but he didn't seem to intend to move to stop her.
"Are you not going to stop her, Master?"
"No." Old Tang Xiao shook his head at Xiao Ai. "You may think that I am selfish, but her death will bring a big change to the young me, and he might become a different person in the future."
Xiao Ai remained silent as she watched Zhao Jing tie the rope around her neck. Shortly after, she jumped from the chair, which led to her death.
After witnessing Zhao Jing commit suicide, Old Tang Xiao sighed heavily. He brought the little girl down to her side, and Xiao Ai asked him a question. "What are you going to do to her, Master?"
