Tied a Knot

Yu Long weighed the greatsword in his hand and decided to keep this one permanently because it was heavy and easy to swing. It's only fifteen or sixteen thousand tons of condensed ice and energy.
He shrugged and planned to add a reinforced array on the sword later, "I was playing around with the manifestation aspect, but Song of Broken Pines turned out to be a decent greatsword(claymore)."
"Could be heavier, though."
"Only you would say that, Husband." Xia Qingyue comes to his side with a weird expression. "I could tell that the sword is heavy. I bet only a few people could wield it in the Lost Heaven Sect."
"Including you?" Yu Long flashed a playful smirk.
Xia Qingyue rolled her eyes, "I preferred a more aesthetic-looking weapon."
"How dare you? Song of Broken Pines is aesthetic!" Yu Long jokingly waved the greatsword, causing the air to tremble.
Xia Qingyue's mouth twitched, "Well, you're right. It looks pleasant to see, but no. I don't want to use a greatsword."
"Hehe, make a longsword for me, please." Cang Yue joined the conversation, hugging Xia Qingyue from behind.
"Well, if you're talking about a long sword. I always have it." Yu Long shamelessly said.
"Yu Long, so naughty..." Cang Yue blushed because his reply caught her off guard. "Fine, I'd like to see your fine longsword later~!"
"Okay, stop teasing each other." Xia Qingyue sighed, rubbing her temple.
Chu Yueli and Chu Yuechan come closer, but they don't say anything except to see the destruction Yu Long has done.
'If many people knew that the Young Master killed three monarchs alone, his name would be even more famous.' Chu Yuechan thought.
She glanced at the residual aura of Yu Long's heavy sword technique and mumbled, "But he doesn't seem the kind of person who would like fame."
Chu Yuechan turned around and saw Yu Long smiling at her. "Wanna learn?" He asked playfully.
"Yes." Chu Yuechan answered immediately.
Yu Long nodded and returned, "After we return to the Lost Heaven Sect, I will teach you some tricks."
"Before that, take care of this sword."
The Song of Broken Pines hovered in the air and landed on Chu Yuechan's hand, making her eyes widen in shock because of how heavy it was. She felt like her arms were about to break any second.
'This is your chance, sister.' Chu Yueli's voice suddenly entered Chu Yuechan's mind.
'Young Master left behind his ice intent and manifestation aspect in that sword. If you could comprehend at least 1/10, you'd be able to catch his attention.'
'You might become his battle maid.' The alluring voice added.
'A-Are you sure?' Chu Yuechan gulped nervously.
'Yes, trust me.' Chu Yueli smiled brightly, hiding her cunning fox-like scheme.
"T-Thank you, Young Master. Please leave this sword to me." Chu Yuechan firmly said, despite holding the Song of Broken Pines with great difficulty due to its weight.
Yu Long chuckled and transferred [Art of Body Refining] to Chu Yuechan's head. "We will see that in the next month."
"AAhn~!"
Feeling a deep knowledge penetrating her skull, Chu Yuechan moaned somewhat sensually and lowered her misty eyes. Her body trembled because [Art of Body Refining] was too much for her.
She lowered her body to a ninety-degree angle and said yet again another thank you, "Chu Yuechan doesn't know how to repay Young Master. I'll try my best not to let down your expectations!"
Cough! Cough!
Yu Long looked away, "Good."
"You did it on purpose, didn't you?" Xia Qingyue and Cang Yue gazed at Yu Long suspiciously.
"I don't." Yu Long deflected skillfully. "Who knows, my Thought Transmission will cause her to moan."
"Yeah, sure." Xia Qingyue cast a glance at Chu Yuechan. What kind of man doesn't want to make this ice fairy moan like that?
Even though Chu Yuechan couldn't compare against Xia Qingyue, she's still a famous and Blue Wind Empire's number one beauty. Many people admired her, but she still became Yu Long's maid.
Xia Qingyue doesn't know if her husband is charming or excessively lucky to snare women.
She peeked at Cang Yue and sent a sound transmission, 'You should confirm your position, Sister Xueruo.'
'There are too many women eyeing our Yu Long.'
'I know, you don't have to warn me. I have planned to seal the deal already.' Cang Yue curved her lips.
The two young ladies smiled at each other, sending a shiver down to Yu Long's spine. 'What are you two planning?' He sighed helplessly.
...
Speeding up to the Lost Heaven Sect, Yu Long also absorbed the essence sphere he got from the three sovereigns. He grasped their memories and some useless skills, watching everything like a replayed video.
Yu Long flew with his eyes closed and mumbled, "I see..."
"So, it's like that."
"Jealousy is a hell out of ambition."
"What a shame. I thought the resources of the Four Great Sacred Grounds would be much deeper than this."
Tea Making (F) Acquired.
Plant Maintaining (F) Acquired.
Calligraphy (F) Acquired.
Yu Long heard three clicks in the back of his head, which confirmed that the essence spheres were 'fully' digested.
He rubbed his palm and released black smoke, which is the impurities of the essence sphere. His body doesn't need something like this, but Seven Deadly Sins - Gluttony sure did.
A red jaw of sharp teeth appeared and chomped the black smoke, fading into existence after eating its fill.
'This fellow sure is eating everything, huh? Even Woby isn't this hungry.' Yu Long thought to himself.
A radiating heat like a warm morning sun approached from afar, and Hong Guan came into everyone's vision. They also could see Lily following from behind with a wide grin.
"Young Master, you're finally back!" Lily excitedly said while waving her hand at Yu Long.
Yu Long chuckled, "Hehe, I'm back. Did you miss me?"
"Yes, I miss my salary!" Lily responded immediately.
"..." Yu Long.
"..." Everyone.
Yu Long's eyebrow twitched as he flashed and knocked Lily's forehead with his finger, "I wanted to give you an extra cut because I quite miss your presence but fuck it. I'll cut your salary instead."
"What about 70% for this month?" His smile becomes evil in Lily's eyes.
Lily's expression paled as she hugged Yu Long's leg like a wronged wife and wept, "Uwaaaah! Please don't cut my salary, Young Master!"
"I'm wrong! Lily is wrong!"
"I miss you, I really really really miss you very much. I can't live without you(your money)."
"Get the hell away from me." Yu Long pushed Lily away, creating an ice prison for her.
"Nooooo! My salary!" Lily slammed her hand on the ice floor dramatically.
Hong Guan was amused and hovered toward Yu Long, giving him a firm hug. "I miss you, Young Master." Her voluptuous body pressed against Yu Long, making the latter instinctively shudder.
"Every night, I can't sleep unless I think about you." She whispered to his ears before pulling back into a lovely smile.
Yu Long stared at her bright green eyes and smiled back, "I see..."
"It seems we are the same."
"Young Master also?" Hong Guan gasped in surprise.
Yu Long shook his head gently, "I'm not that dense, but I always think of you sometimes."
"Sometimes... That's more than enough." Hong Guan sighed in relief as she had a dear spot in Yu Long's heart. Even if it's just a little, she was more than happy.
"I, never mind. Let's go to the Lost Heaven Sect first." Yu Long wanted to say something more but decided to save it for later. He has noticed Hong Guan's feelings since three years ago and decided to improve himself first rather than pursuing romance.
However, now that Yu Long has become an adult and graduated with the help of Xia Qingyue. He felt a little romance wouldn't be bad for his second life.
"Okay, Mistress is currently teaching a young lady to speak." Hong Guan nodded and escorted them inside.
The red-haired lady noticed an extra person in the group and glanced at Chu Yuechan with a brief examining gaze. "Hmm, another one." She said while turning her back.
'What do you mean by another one?' Chu Yuechan felt weird.
Entering the space-folding array in the sky, they entered the Lost Heaven Sect and saw Yu Xin sitting under a great willow tree.
"Say Mama."
"Wawa~!" Yu Mei waved her little hands.
"No, no, Mama! Mama..." Yu Xin put on a solemn look.
Yu Mei tilted her head and sucked her finger cluelessly, seeing Yu Long walk toward her.
Her bright, big eyes lit up!
"Baba~! Baba~!" Yu Mei waved her hand at Yu Long.
Yu Long laughed, "Hahaha~! Do you miss me, Yu Mei?"
"Right, right, this is your big brother."
"Baba~!" Yu Mei laughed as well.
Yu Xin stared at Yu Long and pouted, "You're grounded for a week."
"Eh?" Yu Long was speechless.
He patted his forehead and put on an act, "Aih, I was about to give you good news."
"Well, since I got grounded, I can't help but stay quiet."
"Spit it." Yu Xin narrowed her eyes.
Yu Long opened his arm and pulled Xia Qingyue, "We have tied a knot."
"The ceremony-!" Before Yu Long could finish his words, Yu Xin was already bawling her eyes out and hugged him.
"Hic, hic, my boy is finally taking the step."
"I want three grandchildren." Yu Xin sharply demanded.
"T-Three?!" Xia Qingyje blushed, but she also expected this.
"..." Yu Long.
A wise man once said women are unreasonable sometimes, especially mothers.
