Jin Nanyi looked at Ling Yun's face, caressing his cheek. "Do you want to have sex with me now?"

"Hehe," Ling Yun chuckled, his eyes moving up and down, examining her figure. "Only a stupid man wouldn't want to have sex with you! You're beautiful, and your figure is seductive. Any man who sees you will want to ravish and enjoy your body, let alone a man as lustful as me. However, I don't want to do that now, and I want you to confirm your heart's desire first. I know you like me, but you are in a dilemma because I have many wives by my side."

"How did you know that I liked you?" Jin Nanyi curiously asked.

Ling Yun smiled. "In the past, I relied on Ling Xi's ability to read hearts to determine the feelings of those women for me because I was still young at the time, and I didn't really have much experience. However, I'm mature and experienced now, and I have dozens of wives by my side, so I can discern your feelings for me without relying on her abilities."

"Humph." Jin Nanyi pursed her lips. "You're right, I like you because you're the only man in this universe who can be this close to me. I often think about becoming your wife, but I keep suppressing my feelings because you have dozens of wives by your side. You may think I'm picky because I want a husband who only loves me, but that's the truth because I'm afraid of being marginalized."

"You may be picky, but you are not wrong if you want to have a husband who only loves you." Ling Yun shook his head. "In general, any woman will not be willing to share her husband with many women, so your choice is natural. As for all my wives, you have lived with us for almost two decades, so you should be able to see that they are happy with me, and the relationship between them is excellent."

"Yeah." Jin Nanyi admitted that because she had seen for herself the relationships between all of Ling Yun's wives over the past years, none of them regretted their decision to share him with so many women. "Will you make me happy if I choose you as my husband?"

"Does that need to be questioned?"

"Not really."

"If you decide to choose me as your husband, I will make you happy as I make my other wives happy."

"Do you promise?"

"I promise."

Jin Nanyi cupped Ling Yun's face and wanted to kiss him, but she was hesitant because of the poison in her body. He wasn't affected by the poison when he was by her side, but she was afraid that it would affect him if they had physical contact. She dared to touch his face because she was wearing thick gloves, preventing their skin from touching each other.

"Ling Yun."

"Hmm?"

"Please stay with me forever."

"We—"

"You are the only living creature who can stay by my side, and I'm afraid my life will become lonely again if I lose you."

Ling Yun sighed. "I can't promise you that, Nanyi."

"Why? Are you going to leave me in the future?"

"No," Ling Yun denied with a shake of his head. "I don't want to leave you or your family; it's just—"

"Just what?"

"I'm not sure if I can return to you all after my last battle with Chaos."

"Why is that?"

"If I succeed in defeating Chaos, I must take his place as the core of this universe. If I don't replace him, this universe will collapse without the core." Jin Nanyi opened her mouth to say something to Ling Yun, but no words came out. "I have no choice but to fight against Chaos to defeat him because I am the next Primordial Chaos Dragon. If I don't take a step forward to fight with him, the darkness will devour this universe, and all living creatures in it will die."

"Can't you really come back to us after your fight with Chaos?"

"I can go back, but it will take a long time." Jin Nanyi frowned. "I heard that Chaos was only able to free himself from that place millions of years after his birth, so it will probably take me that long to get out of it."

Jin Nanyi sighed softly. "If that were true, we would probably have died by then. After all, we're not immortals like Sheng Ming and Ling Xi, and our lifespans aren't enough to wait for you to return."

"You're right." Ling Yun turned gloomy at the thought. "I don't want to leave you guys, and I want to stay by your side forever. However, all of you will die if I don't do that, so I have no other choice but to take that path."

Jin Nanyi was silent for a while before bringing her face closer to Ling Yun's, kissing his lips. His body tensed, and his brow furrowed as the poison within her body entered his body, rapidly turning his lips black. 'Damn it! Her poison is really strong!'

"Ling Yun!" Jin Nanyi shouted in panic after separating their lips. "What... what do you feel? Sorry... I—"

"Shh." Ling Yun pressed his index finger to her lips. "I'm fine, so you don't have to panic like this. Although I was in a bit of pain when your poison entered my body, it's slowly disappearing from my body."

Jin Nanyi shed tears again and felt guilty in her heart. "Sorry, I—Mhmm..."

Ling Yun stopped Jin Nanyi by sealing her lips, and the poison inside her body re-entered his body. She struggled and tried to push him back because she didn't want to cause him pain from her poison, but her strength disappeared as soon as he used his chaos element.

'Ling Yun! Please stop it! Don't torture yourself for me!' Jin Nanyi said, tears flowing more abundantly from her eyes. She could see that Ling Yun's veins were popping out from under his skin and her poison was flowing within them. 'Please... let me go... you will continue to be tormented by my poison if you do this.'

Ling Yun didn't listen to Jin Nanyi; instead, he pushed her to the ground and kissed her more passionately. His tongue quickly slipped into her mouth, searching for her tongue.

Jin Nanyi grew increasingly panicked as part of Ling Yun's face had turned black from her poison, and his expression looked utterly pained. She didn't return his kiss, and tears flowed more and more from the corners of her eyes.

'Ling Yun... please stop it... I beg you...'

Zhou Yu and Ling Xi suddenly appeared above them, and the female void spirit covered their bodies with her void qi, preventing Jin Nanyi's poison from affecting them. "How could her poison invade our husband's body, Big Sis? He usually isn't affected by her poison mist, but her poison is so thick in his body now."

"Usually, they don't come into contact with each other, so only a small amount of her poison enters his body, and it is immediately neutralized." Ling Xi narrowed her eyes, examining Ling Yun's body. "Her poison became stronger the moment their bodies came into contact with each other, and it quickly invaded his body. Even though her poison is strong and deadly, we don't need to worry about our husband because her poison can't hurt him."

"Are you sure that her poison won't hurt our husband?"

"I'm sure of that." Ling Xi nodded. "This woman is pitiful and lonely, and our husband is the only living being who can give her happiness, even though he has to suffer a little in the process. Let's go now! We don't have to worry about him anymore."

"Alright." Zhou Yu immediately took Ling Xi away from that place.

Jin Nyanyi continued to cry, and her heart ached seeing Ling Yun's condition, but she couldn't do anything to stop him. Although her cultivation was much higher than his, his chaos element was different from other elements, and it dispelled her strength.

Ling Yun separated their lips and looked at Jin Nanyi. He wiped away her tears and spoke to her. "It's alright, Nanyi. Although your poison caused me some pain, you can see that I'm fine, so you don't have to cry like this."

"Hateful!" Jin Nanyi cried louder as she hugged Ling Yun. "I'm truly afraid if something happens to you because of my poison! You are the only living being who can stay by my side, and my life will be lonely again if you die."

"Don't cry, Nanyi," Ling Yun tried to coax her. "Look at me, I'm fine, and the poison is quickly disappearing from my body." 𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚

Jin Nanyi looked at Ling Yun with tear-filled eyes, seeing his face and lips gradually returning to normal. She was relieved to see that, but she still didn't want him to suffer from her poison. "Please—"

"Are you willing to be my wife, Nanyi?"

Jin Nanyi was stunned, as she didn't expect Ling Yun to propose to her. With his strength, he could easily take her as his wife by force, as he had done with several of his wives in the past.

Seeing Jin Nanyi stunned, Ling Yun repeated his question once again. "Are you willing to be my wife, Nanyi?"

"I—"

"I promise I'll make you happy." Ling Yun caressed her cheek. "In this universe, I'm the only living being who can make you happy, so I hope you'll be willing to be my wife. Your poison is indeed strong, but it has no effect on me, and I can easily endure the pain, so you don't need to think too much about it."
