BXBX NOVEL Chapter 592 Zoe's Family
"Hmm?" Jiang Chen raised his eyebrows and asked him. "Can I try to lift it?"
"Yes, you can try lifting it, but you better not even think about owning it, or it will devour you instantly." Ling Yun warned him sternly. Because only he, as the owner of the Chaos Dragon Bloodline, could possess it.
"Hahaha! Brother Yun! You know that I am not that kind of person, right?" Jiang Chen asked as he laughed, but his smile disappeared as soon as he held the hilt. Even more so when he tried to pull it off the ground, which made his arm muscles bulge out. "What the fuck with this broadsword? How can this thing be this heavy?"
"Is it that heavy?" Yi Shi asked him. After all, he had not witnessed Ling Yun\'s training from the start, so he had no idea how much trouble he had to go through to lift the Chaos Dragon Broadsword.
Zhang Bing shook his head and explained it to them. "That broadsword is so fucking heavy, Brothers! Even Brother Yun was overwhelmed to lift it the first time, but his persistence was too strong, and he finally managed to lift it after he tried for several days."
"Damn it!" Jiang Chen cursed in annoyance. "Help me, Brothers!"
"No!" Zhang Bing directly rejected him. "I\'m not going to waste my time trying to lift it!"
"You are such an unfaithful brother!" The two men shouted at Zhang Bing, but he just shrugged his shoulders and laughed at them, especially since their expressions were really bad.
"Fuck! Cousin! How can you lift it?" Yi Shi asked Ling Yun.
Hearing that, Ling Yun chuckled and told them about his experience when he tried to lift the Chaos Dragon Broadsword for the first time. He couldn\'t even move many times because his whole body was in pain from its heavy weight.
Jiang Chen was shocked to hear that. "You are truly insane, Brother Yun! However, I will not give up here, and I can definitely lift this thing!"
"Well, you two can keep trying to lift it, which will make your body much stronger if you manage to do it." Ling Yun said as he approached the beasts. "Hey, Zhang Bing! Since you don\'t want to try to lift it, you can start sparring with some of them."
"Do you want to kill me, Brother Yun?" Zhang Bing asked in a helpless tone.
Ling Yun shrugged his shoulders. "If you continue like this, how will you protect Yuan Meng? What can you do if strong cultivators like Chen Xiang lust after her? If that happens, she will fall into their hands, and you will only regret it later."
Although his words were harsh, Ling Yun deliberately said all of them to motivate his best friend, for he couldn\'t possibly protect them all the time.
Upon hearing that, Zhang Bing gritted his teeth and clenched both fists tightly, and he immediately selected several beasts to be his sparring opponents.

Meanwhile, the Earth-Devouring Sable was watching them from up in the tree, and she smiled in satisfaction to see that Jiang Chen had found a few brothers.
"Why do you always use your beast form? You should be able to turn into a human by now, right, Zi Diao?" Ling Xi suddenly asked him. (A/N: They already knew the Earth-Devouring Sable\'s real name since Ling Yun checked her status for the first time, but I deliberately left her status.)
Zi Diao turned to Ling Xi and answered her. "I\'m just not used to using my human form, and I\'m more comfortable staying this way."
"I see." Ling Xi was not surprised to hear her answer, especially since there are many beasts like her. "Do you want to evolve?"
"Huh?" Zi Diao was really surprised to hear that. "Can I really evolve?"
"Yes." Ling Xi nodded to her. "Every beast can evolve, but not all of them have the opportunity to do so, especially the beasts in this lower realm, for the Qi in this place is very thin. However, Ling Yun can help you evolve, but you must dual cultivate with him."
"In that case, I don\'t need to evolve, and I\'m satisfied with who I am now." Zi Diao immediately rejected Ling Xi\'s offer without a second thought.
Ling Xi turned to her in surprise. "Why? If you can evolve, you can become even stronger."
"No." Zi Diao still refused her. "Even though I\'m just a low-level beast, I don\'t want to have a relationship with humans, so I will never dual cultivate with him."
"You know you can\'t lie to me, right?" Ling Xi asked her as she smiled faintly.
Instead, Zi Diao asked her back. "Since you already know the answer, why are you still offering it to me?"
"I just want to hear your answer." Ling Xi then passed three beast pills to her. "You can swallow them, and you can definitely evolve later."
"Huh?" Zi Diao accepted the pills as she looked at Ling Xi in confusion.
"You don\'t need to be confused, and I gave the pills to you for Jiang Chen\'s sake." Ling Xi then turned to the men. "Why don\'t you tell him about your true feelings?"
Zi Diao shook her head at her. "I\'m happy with our current relationship, and there is no need for our relationship to change."
"What a stubborn woman." Ling Xi said as she shook helplessly. "Let me tell you about my stories, and you might change your mind later."
Zi Diao neither agreed nor denied Ling Xi\'s words, and she listened to her tell about her life stories before meeting Ling Yun.
Even though Zi Diao\'s expression didn\'t change in the slightest, Ling Xi could read her mind easily, and she kept on telling her many things.
After she finished telling everything, Ling Xi immediately left Zi Diao and let her think things through, and she went elsewhere to check things out.

"How is it going, Xiao Yin? Have you successfully extracted Chen Xiang\'s profound veins?" Zhao Yao asked as she and Yi Shu walked into the lab.
Xiao Yin turned her head and nodded to her. [I\'ve extracted his profound veins and implanted them in Yi Jie\'s body a while ago, and the assimilation process will soon be completed, so he can cultivate after this.]
"Is that true?" Yi Shu asked as she looked at her father, who was still asleep in the capsule.
[Yes.] Xiao Yin nodded to her. [Since Chen Xiang\'s cultivation is quite high and his profound veins are also quite strong, your father can cultivate much faster than other novice cultivators.]
Yi Shu nodded in understanding. "Thank you for helping my father, Xiao Yin."
[No problem.] Xiao Yin replied as she walked out. [Let\'s finish up the power grid today, and I\'ll directly install it onto Yunlong Zuzhai, so we can get the two of them into the subspace as soon as possible.]
"That\'s good." Zhao Yao immediately followed Xiao Yin, for she herself couldn\'t wait to bring the Celestial Fortress into its subspace. That way, they wouldn\'t have to worry about those cultivators anymore, and they could live peacefully within it.

Meanwhile, after waiting for two days, Iris and her son finally arrived near Lamia Castle.
Seeing their arrival, Zoe smiled joyfully and immediately moved towards them. "Mother! Brother!"
"Eh?" Iris was surprised to see her daughter. "Zoe? How did you get here? I thought you were still in the human realm now."
"Big Sister!" The young male lamia immediately jumped into Zoe\'s arms and burst into tears. "Sob... I missed you so much... Sob... I thought you were caught by them like our father."
"You\'ve grown up, so you shouldn\'t cry like this, Basaus." Zoe said as she hugged her little brother. She then answered her mother\'s question. "I purposely came back here to look for you at Grandpa Alexes\' place, but you two have already left his place, and he told us that you might come here to save my father, so we waited for you here."
"We?" Iris raised her eyebrows in confusion.
"Zoe is coming with us, Iris." Mao said as she jumped in front of them along with Duan Wu.
Iris was surprised to see them. "Mao? Since when were you released from Mammon\'s custody?"
"Hehe." Mao giggled at her question. "After my son-in-law killed Mammon, he immediately went to free me, and I\'ve also reunited with my daughter now."
Iris was even more surprised to hear that. "Is it true that the person who killed Mammon was your son-in-law?"
"That\'s right, Mother." Zoe answered her mother\'s question. "Ling Yun is Mao\'s son-in-law, and he was the one who killed Mammon, but he is not a demon like us."
"Hmm?" Iris raised her eyebrows after she heard that. "Who exactly is Ling Yun? How could he kill Mammon?"
"Ling Yun is a human cultivator, and he is very strong." Zoe answered her mother as she smiled.
Basaus suddenly looked up at his big sister and asked. "Is that Ling Yun your husband, Big Sister?"
"Eh? How can you think like that?" Zoe asked in surprise.
"Hehe! So Ling Yun is really your husband." Basaus said as he laughed and wiped away his tears. "Did you forget that I can easily distinguish human, demon, and angel scents? I smelled a very strong human scent from your body, so I thought he must be your husband."
Hearing that, Iris asked her daughter. "Is that true, Zoe? Are you married to a human now?"
