For the next few days, Yang Wei was busy handling his duties as the peak chief of Grand Elder Peak.

There were a lot of issues cropping up, but with the help of Liu Yan and He Dongmei, he managed to get through them.

Wu Fengtian was eager to join Grand Elder Peak since it was led by his Senior Brother, hoping for some favoritism because he’d heard the peak would be getting the most cultivation resources this month. This wasn’t just because it was a new peak but also because it belonged to Peak Chief Yang.

Everyone knew Bai Suzhen was showing favoritism in the distribution of cultivation resources, but she wasn’t trying to hide it.

There was a lot of support for the Peak Chief of Grand Elder Peak, but also plenty of resentment. Still, Yang Wei was more focused on formally establishing a foundation for the peak as soon as possible so he could concentrate on other matters, like Mu Lin’s health.

Bai Suzhen had told him she wanted to gather better information on Fairy Su Meirong and the Land of Supremes before deciding when Yang Wei should make his move.

Yang Wei, however, wasn’t too worried.

It was mainly because Mu Lin was recuperating in the Osmanthus World, where its dilated time would aid her recovery.

And for extra reassurance, Yun Feiyan was also taking care of her.

Then there was Mu Lingxi…

Ever since her encounter with Emperor Cloudcrest and being exposed to so many truths, she had chosen to go into seclusion.

Naturally, Yang Wei was worried about her, but she refused to speak to anyone. Her Dao protectors wouldn’t even let him see her, respectfully requesting that he not make things difficult. To further mutual respect, he chose to back off.

Mu Lingxi didn’t know how to process everything she’d learned. There was just so much.

The fact that Cloudcrest would regain the full power of his cultivation base in three months…

That her mother was not only alive but unsealed because of Ming Huiran’s crippled state…

And even that Emperor Heavenmind was involved in it all.

It was overwhelming.

She felt like if she dwelled on it too long, she would lose her mind.

“Hrmm… that silly man too. I’ll still have a word with him. Humph!”

She was furious with her father for not telling her about the celestial decree Cloudcrest made, which led to the Heavenly Court’s actions against their Tao dimension.

She paused her cultivation and sighed.

“Still, there’s no point in confronting him about it now. It’s in the past.”

The look on her face was very distraught; she couldn’t even remember the last time she smiled.

Mu Lingxi stood up from her mat and walked over to a mirror in her seclusion room.

Looking at her reflection reminded her of her sister.

“Sigh~ I’m a horrible elder sister, aren’t I?” she asked herself.

Mu Lingxi couldn’t understand why she hadn’t gone to check on her sister even once. It was always difficult for her to connect with anyone in her family.

For some reason, she had a better connection with a blood witch like her mother than anyone else.

That thought alone scared her…

She stared at the mirror for a while, zoning out.

I have to admit, I haven’t been a great sister. I barely talk to Lin’er, and when we do, it’s never about anything meaningful.

I blame our mother for this. Lin might not be as talented as I am, but that shouldn’t matter──our mother should’ve loved all of us equally. I think her focus on me created a rift between me and most of my siblings.

Yes, that’s it…

There was a lot on her mind, so much she needed to think about. But then, her mother’s image suddenly replaced her reflection.

Thwack! CRASH~!!

Mu Lingxi panicked and punched the mirror, shattering it into pieces.

“Wh-, what was that?!” she exclaimed to no one in particular.

She was panting heavily, her chest heaving like she’d just run a marathon. Cold sweat dripped down her face, which grew paler by the second. “I’m not seeing things… right?”

But there was no one there to answer her questions.

Sobbing loudly, Mu Lingxi collapsed onto the wooden floor and burst into tears.

sniff~! sniff~!

sniff~~!

“I’m tired~”

Her heart felt heavy. No one could help her.

In the Grand Elder Hall…

Yang Wei sat in his wooden throne with his legs crossed.

He was wearing plain white robes, quite different from the blue and white robes with gold designs he usually wore. He opted for plain robes because they made work easier; some robes could only be worn for a certain amount of time before becoming uncomfortable.

His hair had returned to its white color, and his eyes were blue.

Despite these changes, he was still a complete Bloodfiend Immortal and had now awakened the Bloodfiend Immortal Body, a physique unique to said species.

“Big Brother, is everything fine?” He Dongmei, who stood beside him, asked.

She was almost always with Yang Wei these days, which made her the envy of her former outer sect female disciples. Now that she was under Yang Wei’s direct tutelage and authority, she had been promoted to the position of Elder in their peak and was in charge of helping him with day-to-day activities.

Her cultivation base didn’t matter to Yang Wei; he didn’t measure her usefulness by her power.

In fact, he believed that the stronger the cultivator, the more likely they were to become foolish.

“Big Brother?” He Dongmei called his name again.

“Uh──!!” Yang Wei snapped out of his deep thoughts. He turned slightly to look up at her. “Oh? Dongmei, did you call me?”

The curious look on He Dongmei’s face softened when she saw how he was looking at her.

One thing she never thought would change was how active and sharp her Big Brother always was. These days, however, he barely had time for himself or any of his lovers.

It made her feel like he was lonely…

“Hm?” she uttered.

The bespectacled girl realized that Tianyi was resting in Yang Wei’s lap, peacefully sleeping.

Tianyi was the only one who could keep up with Yang Wei recently, following him everywhere without difficulty. Still, even the dragon needed rest, and this was one of those times.

“Are you… okay, Senior Brother?”

Yang Wei shook his head gently. “I’m fine. This new body of mine barely knows what exhaustion is. I’m just a little mentally tired.”

“O-, okay…” He Dongmei replied, unconvinced but unsure what more to say.

She was basically Yang Wei’s assistant, not his wife.

Unlike Huo Yue, Mu Lin, Huo Zirou, and sometimes Mu Lingxi and Liu Yan, who would scold him or give him a punch on the shoulder when he did something wrong, she didn’t want to seem disrespectful.

She didn’t want to cross a line that wasn’t meant for her.

Considering all this made her feel depressed without realizing it.

The hall was silent, with only Tianyi’s snoring breaking the stillness.

Yang Wei rested his head back and closed his eyes to enjoy some peace.

Yawn~~

“Dongmei, wake me up wh──”

His sentence was cut short as he felt his head move to a new resting spot that was both meaty and bouncy.

“Hm?” he said in surprise.

As he moved his head, he felt a soft and cushioned sensation with a noticeable, slightly wobbly movement.

sniff~ sniff~~

A sweet scent accompanied these feather-soft pillows.

“Big Brother, please, just rest on my chest a bit~”

It was He Dongmei’s voice.

It was her scent.

Those were her breasts.

Even the hand sensually stroking his hair and back belonged to her.

She was simply trying her best to be there for him.

“Okay then…” Yang Wei pressed his face deeper into He Dongmei’s breasts.

After her breast enhancement, they had grown much bigger and more comfortable to rest on. Now, her breasts easily conformed to the shape of Yang Wei’s face, providing a gentle, enveloping sensation for his weary head.

“Does that feel good?” she asked gently.

Enjoying her scent and softness, he nodded tiredly.

He Dongmei then took one of his hands and placed it around her waist.

“I’m happy you’re resting…” she whispered affectionately.
