29 Who Cares If They Disapprove!

I wake up in the morning around the same time as Little Yue and Feng Feng. Little Jing doesn't know our sleep patterns, so she is still sleeping soundly on my chest.

I give the two of them a morning kiss as we chat about what has been happening in the week. Little Yue was lying down on my arm facing me while Feng Feng was hugging Little Yue's waist from behind, with her face resting on Little Yue's.

The two of them have been together for almost 10 years now, and they are even closer than normal blood siblings, it fills me with warmth to see them together without conflict, and they also don't get mad when I bring in another girl.

We continued to talk and flirt around for a few minutes before Little Jing also woke up. She stretched her tiny limbs before propping herself up using her hands. She rubbed her eyes a little before opening them.

She looked around with some confusion before remembering where she was. Her eyes turned to me as she blushed slightly, "Good morning, Daddy!"

I look at her blushing face and give her a gentle smile, "Good morning, darling!"

Little Yue extends her arms and pulls Little Jing into an embrace as they exchange their morning greetings, since Little Jing is so cute, the girls' motherly instincts go haywire as they feel the need to dote on Little Jing.

Feng Feng reaches her hands out and tickles Little Jing's body while she is being held by Little Yue. Even in bed, their teamwork is terrifying!

Little Jing wriggles around in struggle, "No! Big Sister Feng! It tickles! Heheheh~" her crisp laugh echoes in the room, causing the atmosphere in the room to radiate.

"Alright, let's go for a bath first, let Rong Rong sleep for a little longer, since she is still exhausted from last night." Since I didn't want our noise to wake Rong Rong from her sleep, I tried to move the girls to the bath.

Feng Feng and Little Yue get up as they take Little Jing to the bathroom.

I gently put Rong Rong's head onto a pillow as I slide my arm out from underneath her. I give her a kiss on the forehead before getting off the bed.

I also go to the bathroom where the girls have already prepared the bath, the girls are already naked and waiting for me to wash them.

Little Jing is still a little embarrassed, but she allows me to wash her thoroughly since I wash all the others, and she didn't want to be left out.

I was the girls gently while I flirt with them, before I let them wash my body. After we were clean we washed all the soap off before the four of us huddle together in the warm bath.

Little Jing sat in my lap while Little Yue and Feng Feng took each of my sides, we sat there and relaxed for 15 minutes before getting out. We dried off before getting dressed and heading back to the bedroom.

It was almost time for breakfast, and if Rong Rong didn't want to miss out, she would have to wake up now.

I go to the bedside and gently shake Rong Rong's shoulder, "Rong Rong, it's time to wake up now, otherwise you will miss breakfast, and have to eat Fatty's leftover burnt food."

This is able to get Rong Rong's attention as she, a princess, can't eat the burnt food that Fatty makes. Her lips pout a little as she wakes up, she opens her eyes and looks at me with a gentle smile.

I give her a light kiss on the lips as I greet her. Rong Rong tries to move her body to get out of bed, but she suddenly feels a sharp pain in her abdomen and she lets out a hiss.

I quickly grab a hold of her as I keep her body still, she lets out a gasp and takes a couple deep breaths to reduce the pain.

I feel a twinge of regret when I see her in so much pain, causing my heart to tighten, "Little Yue, give me another Phoenix Tear, Rong Rong is in too much pain!"

I try to get Little Yue to heal her but Rong Rong grabs my arm as she shakes her head, "No! This pain is proof of my determination, it is my pride! I don't want to get rid of it!"

With my help, Rong Rong slowly gets out of bed before she makes her way to the bathroom. Her walk is a little uneven, so she probably still has some phantom feelings of me being inside her.

This also happened to Little Yue and Feng Feng before, they would walk around like they had something stuck in their butt, which made them embarrassed, so they didn't come outside until they were fully healed again.

I wash Rong Rong as gently as possible before I let her rest in the bath for a couple minutes, while I sit by her side and talk to her.

I carry Rong Rong out of the bath before I dry her carefully and help her put her underwear on along with her usual white flower dress.

Feng Feng and I take Rong Rong's side as we walk her to the cafeteria. Little Yue is carrying Little Jing in her arms as Little Jing is curiously looking around. The two of them together look like a pair of sisters with their silver hair and beautiful features.

We enter the cafeteria, and everyone is already there, we were a couple minutes late from taking care of Rong Rong. Qing'er saw us holding Rong Rong and saw her unusual walk as she quickly got up and ran to her side.

Qing'er looked at Rong Rong with concern as she asked, "Sister Rong Rong, what happened to you? Are you injured?"

Qing'er and Rong Rong are the two youngest girls aside from the recent addition of Little Jing, who is a bit older than the youngest, Qing'er. So, the two of them have always gotten along well since they arrived at the academy.

Rong Rong blushes a bit as she brings her mouth to Qing Er's ears, "Sister Yue wasn't joking… Brother Wulin really is the "Big" Brother…" She whispers lightly into Qing Er's ear.

Qing Er starts blushing furiously as she glances at me before quickly retreating to her seat, causing Rong Rong to laugh at her innocence. I help Rong Rong sit next to me as we eat our breakfast.

The guys stare at Rong Rong as they ask her what happened, but she just smiled and held my arm.

Everyone except Tang San understood what she meant, and Xiao Wu looked like she was jealous, before stomping on Tang San's foot, causing him to shriek out in pain.

After breakfast everyone went back to doing their special training. I was training on mastering my new self-made Spirit Skill, so that the consumption is lowered.

Little Jing went with Xiao Wu to watch the others as they fail, while Rong Rong went back to the cottage to rest, since she is still exhausted and in pain, she won't be able to teach us the Heart Separation Control Technique until later.

I am trying to master my Monkey God's Nimbus, which is a bit harder to master than my Golden Fiery Eyes. The Nimbus is made by emitting my Spirit Power while gathering the natures of water, fire, and wind together.

Using my Spirit Power as a container, I mix the three natures to create a solid cloud to ride on. Currently, it can move at 3 times my movement speed for half an hour before I run out of Spirit Power.

I need to try and reduce the amount of Spirit Power drain while also increasing my movement speed.

As I test out new theories, Yu Xiao Gang comes up to me, "Chen Wulin, can we have a talk?"

I stop training and nod my head, we walked a little distance away from the others so that nobody can listen in on our talk.

I look at Yu Xiao Gang as I ask, "So, what did you want to ask?"

Yu Xiao Gang nodded, I could see that he had deep conflict fighting within his body, he looked at me with his strange eyes, "I heard that you are married to your sibling?"

It felt a little strange when he asked me, but it's not like I am ashamed of marrying Little Yue, so I nod my head, "That's right, is there something wrong?"

"You do know that siblings' marrying is not tolerated in the world, right?" Yu Xiao Gang asked with a bit of agitation, "Don't you care about what will happen to her reputation if people find out? What about your families, don't they have anything to say about it?"

"Of course, I care about her reputation, when we first started having feelings for each other, I instantly taught her that sibling relationships are forbidden in this world, but she said that she wanted to continue our relationship." I said.

"As for family, our entire clan was slaughtered when we were six, so we have nobody in the family that can deny our relationship." I was a little sad when thinking about this, but I still have Little Yue and Feng Feng, who were the most important to me.

Yu Xiao Gang remained silent as he contemplated my words, his eyes grew cloudy as he went deep into thought. I could see his body occasionally tremble as his already sickly face turned a shade paler.

Although I already know about his past due to my previous life, I can see this as a good chance to help him overcome his traumas'.

I gently ask him, "Are you alright? Speak to me if you have any problems, even if I can't resolve them now, I can resolve them in the future."

He came out of his contemplation as he looked at me, "How will you resolve them in the future if you can't resolve them now?"

I give a slight laugh, "Naturally, I will solve it through force! In the future, I will become the strongest Spirit Master in the world, even if I want to change the laws, who would dare to stop me. In this world, only might is right."

Yu Xiao Gang sighed as he nodded his head, "That's right, might is right… Only, I cannot gain any might…"

Yu Xiao Gang thought for a little while before asking, "Would you like to hear a story?"

I nodded my head as I gestured for him to continue.

Yu Xiao Gang reminisced as his eyes exuded a deep sadness, "Almost twenty years ago, because of my Variant Spirit, I was titled as trash and exiled from the clan. In order to prove my worth, I studied everything about Spirit Masters, delving deep into my research, hoping to gain approval from the world. I travelled outside while continuing my research and met a young Spirit Master who shared my views, this was Flander.

We decided to travel together as we improved ourselves. One day, when hunting in a Spirit Beast Forest, we encountered a beautiful young lady. She was alone and had a lively and straightforward nature which attracted us. Her name was Liu Erlong, we quickly became friends and she joined us in our travels.

With the passing of time, Flander and I fell in love with Erlong, but because we didn't want to harm our relationships with each other, we were unwilling to state it clearly. Because of my lacking strength, I felt unworthy and could only bury my affections deep in my heart.

Our feeling accumulated over time and grew more intense. As the three of us grew older, and it was becoming harder and harder to supress our feelings. Finally, one day Flander was unable to hold back his torment and confessed his feelings to Erlong.

But, unexpectedly, Erlong already knew about the feelings that both of us had for her, and because she was afraid to speak her own choice and hurt the other. Confronted with Flander's confession, she couldn't conceal it any longer and revealed that she liked not the strong Flander, but the weak me, who although had limited strength due to my Variant Spirit, never gave up and persevered with great effort to improve myself.

Flander gave up his love and blessed the two of us, with Flander presiding us, Erlong and I got married. We were incredibly happy at that time and only cared about being together with those we loved, other peoples' opinions did not matter."

As he spoke up to this part, he had a truly happy expression on his face, but it was soon overrun by a cloud of sadness and agitation.

"After our marriage, the three of us gathered and drank together, Flander was intending to go on his own journey while Erlong and I settled down. Suddenly, several people appeared, and I was very familiar with them. The person leading was my uncle, he was one of the only people who I thought treated me good, unlike the others in the clan.

I was surprised by his sudden arrival, but since uncle treated me well, I happily invited him into our house. However, who would have thought that my second uncle wasn't looking for me, but instead for Erlong."

Yu Xiao Gang had tears in his eyes as he began choking on his words, "My second uncles purpose in finding us was in fact to recognise blood relations. Erlong… Erlong was actually his illegitimate daughter."

Tears streamed down his face as he recounted the grief in his heart. No trace of the wise Grandmaster could be seen right now, only a man struggling through his intense suffering.

"At that time, second uncle who saw our clothing naturally understood what was going on. His first words were 'How can you marry this useless trash.' I realised then, the uncle that I thought treated me well, actually also thought of me as only trash.

I ran away, unable to handle the sudden grief from Erlong and my second uncle. If not for Flander chasing after me, I would have already committed suicide. After I lost the desire to die, I buried myself in my research, blocking myself from the outside world, until I took Tang San as my disciple.

I heard that she had a falling with second uncle and searched for me like mad, but I couldn't face her. I didn't want to destroy her reputation, I wanted for her to live a happy and cheerful life, like when we first met."

Yu Xiao Gang was still crying as he finished his story, when he mentioned Erlong he had a sad smile on his face as his tears flowed.

I moved forward as I brought him into a hug, "Not only have you been deprived of your powerful Spirit, but also your marriage. Yu Xiao Gang, the Heavens have been cruel to you…"

"Do you believe she is happy?" I asked.

Yu Xiao Gang couldn't think of an answer, he wanted her to be happy without him, but couldn't bring himself to believe it.

"Based on your words, if she were to move on from you, her next choice would have been Flander. Considering that there are no indications of them having relations it is possible that she is still waiting alone. Waiting for almost twenty years, it is obvious that she doesn't care about the family relations between the two of you.

Yu Xiao Gang, you owe her so much, why do you still hesitate to see her, do you not see her as more important than others?"

Yu Xiao Gang was still agitated as he said in a higher pitch, "Of course she is more important than others, even a million lives are not worth Erlong's to me!"

I push him out of the hug as I say, "Then why do you care about their opinions instead of Erlong's, as long as she loves you, then what does the opinion of others matter. You have caused her to suffer for as long as you have, I believe you must meet her again and make up for it."

Yu Xiao Gang was stunned as he thought about my words, "I… I have caused her to suffer…". After standing there for a while, his eyes gain a bit of clarity as he looks at me, "Thank you, Chen Wulin… I still need some time to think things through. This talk has been helpful."

I nod my head, "As long as you don't take too long, you are only prolonging her lonliness." I walk away while leaving Yu Xiao Gang to sort out his feelings.

It has been a lot harder on him, because of his Variant Spirit and the exiling from his clan, he developed an inferiority complex which brought so much pain and suffering to both him and Erlong. It will be up to his willpower to help himself now.
