A Unexpected Surprise

This time, it was truly an unexpected surprise!

One must understand that dual cultivation, involving both yin and yang energies, is something most people can’t even approach. Even those like Mo Mo and Ye Mo, who are already practicing dual cultivation with yin and yang and have reached a high level of mastery, don’t know how to guide others into this practice.

After all, dual cultivation requires unique conditions—like Ye Mo’s extraordinary space and her Yin-Yang Pool. Without that, even Mo Mo wouldn’t have dared attempt it.

For others to achieve dual cultivation, they would need an adventure, and the adventure they encountered this time posed no danger whatsoever. This valley seemed almost tailor-made for Mo Mo’s purposes.

It could continuously provide Mo Mo with people capable of dual cultivation, and those who couldn’t practice before would likely be able to practice cultivation in the dark realm after entering the valley.

However, Mo Mo didn’t plan to do that yet. After all, he couldn’t just take all the people from the interstellar world—human civilization here still needed to continue and thrive.

As for the shadow realm, Mo Mo had already built a secret army there. If not for the sudden journey they had embarked on, he would likely still be training and fighting with that army.

He felt lucky to have gone on this journey because, if he hadn’t, he wouldn’t have met his beloved wife and their six children.

Mo Mo often thought of his wife as a walking bundle of good fortune. Wherever she went, fortune followed. Traveling with her was a guarantee of good luck.

He glanced over at his wife, who was seated in meditation by the pool. She was keeping watch over the others, even though she knew they were safe in the valley. Ye Mo wasn’t one to take any chances when it came to protecting everyone.

After all, dual cultivation with yin and yang was inherently risky. And right now, the ones in the most danger are their six children, as they have the highest cultivation level.

Mo Mo also watched the others closely. Their children were focused and serious. They had long awaited this opportunity to practice both yin and yang.

This was truly a wonderful surprise!

He wondered if Qin Lin had been able to form his own team as well.

At this moment, Mo Mo and Ye Mo had no idea that Qin Lin had already exchanged the blood of Yu He’s child with his own. To his surprise, the next time they tested, the child’s bloodline had indeed transformed into his own. Even more astonishingly, the violent aura that had plagued the child began to diminish.

This brought a great deal of relief to both Yu He and Yuan Lili, as the child was now much easier to care for, and most importantly, Qin Lin had grown quite fond of him.

However, despite having a son now, Qin Lin still couldn’t help but feel a bit envious of Mo Mo, who had six children.

So, Qin Lin brought in another concubine, one who had purchased a daughter from Planet Blue Sky. After verifying that this child also came from the dark realm, he exchanged her blood too. Now, Qin Lin had both a son and a daughter.

But did things stop there? No.

Qin Lin wasn’t easily satisfied. He sent his men to snatch children from families who had bought puppet dolls. Surprisingly, he managed to grab two more. However, Qin Lin wasn’t heartless—he reimbursed those families for the money they had spent.

Though some of the families were disgruntled, they were powerless to retaliate, as they lacked the influence to stand up to him.

It’s important to note that Qin Lin didn’t dare make a move against Mrs. Rhein. After all, she had already toppled a prince, and while Qin Lin was strong, he still relied on the royal family’s power. So, he wisely decided to leave her alone.

Instead, Qin Lin had his wives, concubines, and mistresses apply for the puppet dolls sold on Ye Mo’s website. He knew all too well that these weren’t just any dolls; they were the exact puppet dolls he needed.

As Prince Caser, Qin Lin’s title held considerable sway. It was easy for his women to get their applications approved.

Moreover, all of his wives came from powerful families. So, in addition to applying themselves, their families also helped them submit applications.

Yu He and another concubine who had a child were now elevated to the status of secondary wives. While Prince Caser had many secondary wives, Yu He’s new status carried significant weight. She was even gifted a house on the Main Planet One.

Yu He’s father, Yu Fengqi, finally moved into a house of his own and no longer needed to rent. With Yu He’s newfound status, they also gained more servants. Now, Yuan Lili had the time to care for Yu Fengqi as well.

Comfortable in his new life, Yu Fengqi began to stir up trouble again. He felt that everything he had achieved was thanks to his younger daughter, and since his older daughter had contributed nothing to his success, he turned his attention to attacking Ye Mo on social media.

He posted all sorts of accusations—about her being unfilial, among other things—rambling on and on.

Some people were sceptical about his claims. After all, they had seen for themselves what kind of person the general’s wife was.

While most didn’t believe Yu Fengqi’s lies, a small group of people who disliked Ye Mo began to stir the pot. Among them was the wife of the star lord of District Three, who seemed eager to fan the flames.

Meanwhile, Ye Mo and Mo Mo were too busy monitoring the people cultivating in the pool to notice what was happening.

However, Aunt Yu saw the posts and was furious. As someone with direct knowledge of the family, her words carried a lot of weight.

She recounted Ye Mo’s time with the Yu family, including how even one-third of the nutritional supplements provided by the government were sold off. She also revealed all the terrible things Yu Fengqi had done, from selling his daughter to attempting to sell his grandson.

When people were presented with these facts, they were disgusted. How could Yu Fengqi be so despicable?

Additionally, someone uncovered old official reports, and it wasn’t long before Yuan Lili’s previous prison record came to light.

The public was outraged. In the past, few people had paid attention to Ye Mo. But now, with so many watching her, the story spread quickly, and people were filled with sympathy for the general’s wife.

“She’s endured so much injustice, yet she remains such a good person!”

“Yeah, that kind of rejection and abandonment is something I’d never want to experience in my life.”

“I’ve been wondering—what caused the grandmother to suddenly change?”

“Nonsense! She didn’t change. She’s always favoured her son. But when a daughter-in-law enters the picture, her loyalties shift to the daughter-in-law’s enemies. Don’t forget, the general’s wife is technically the stepmother’s opposite force and stepmothers often find themselves in opposition to those who oppose them.”

“Oh, so that’s how it is!”
