Patriarch is Taking Concubines Again!

Chapter 294

“I feel the same way,” she said. “I’ll try again to see if I can remove the heart demon,” Peak Master Dieyun said. Li Su left her to her task. But a year later, Peak Master Dieyun once again used the prohibition to notify Li Su. When Li Su arrived, she was once again in the same condition.

“Li Su, what should I do? Scenes with you keep floating into my mind,” she said after a few hours. Her face still had a blush, and it seemed like her heart demon was clinging to this particular aspect. This inner demon was quite challenging for Peak Master Dieyun. It had manifested three times within a short period of a few years. She had also been involved with Li Su in three “unexpected” encounters, though the last two occurrences were more deliberate due to the circumstances. If she didn’t engage with Li Su during those times, it could have led to issues. The persistence of this inner demon was certainly a challenge. Peak Master Dieyun was dealing with an “emotional inner demon.” She must be feeling quite exasperated.

After finally breaking through her bottleneck and being on the verge of reaching the Unity stage, she encountered inner demons one after the other during her meditation. The inner demon had a particular interest in her. Indeed, Peak Master Dieyun’s impatience to reach the Unity stage might be the cause of these recurring inner demons. Such inner demons had tormented many talented individuals with extraordinary spiritual roots due to their impatience. It was essential to find a balance between striving for progress and allowing things to develop naturally in the cultivation process. Impatience could lead to unnecessary complications. It seemed that the inner demon preyed on her emotions, particularly in relation to her intimacy with him, and it created turmoil in her mind. This kind of emotional disturbance could indeed lead to a loss of control in one’s cultivation and well-being. She needed to address these inner demons and find a way to overcome them to ensure her cultivation progress remained steady. Patience and inner strength would be crucial in dealing with this issue. Indeed, overcoming the inner demon was a personal inner cultivation process. While Li Su could provide support, it ultimately depended on Peak Master Dieyun to conquer it herself. She needed a strong will and inner calm to free herself from the influence of this inner demon. It was a challenging journey, but through self-awareness and practice, she could eventually overcome the internal struggle. Li Su could accompany her and offer encouragement, but the breakthrough must come from within her.

“Li Su, I’m preparing to go on a journey, but I’m also worried that once I do, my inner demons will resurface...” said the Peak Master Dieyun. At this moment, even she couldn’t help but feel a bit perplexed. What worried her was that if she couldn’t control her inner demons while traveling, what would she do? And here, there was Li Su. Even though she had been in a relationship with Li Su time and time again, she had long accepted Li Su. Moreover, this inner demon could only be temporarily dispelled when she was with Li Su.

“Li Su, how about this? I’ll stay in the cave with you,” Li Su suggested. He would stay with the Peak Master Dieyun until she overcame her inner demons. Wasn’t this inner demon related to the unresolved issues between the Peak Master Dieyun and Li Su? In that case, Li Su decided not to leave. After some thought, the Peak Master, Dieyun, agreed. So, in the cave, the Peak Master Dieyun on one side and Li Su on the other, she continued to try to overcome her inner demons while Li Su remained quiet and patient.

“Li Su,” she called out. After a few months had passed, the Peak Master Dieyun suddenly opened her eyes. Li Su looked at her and asked, “What is it?” The Peak Master Dieyun blushed slightly and said, “I think I’m pregnant.” Li Su was shocked. He couldn’t help but direct his gaze towards her belly. Was the Peak Master Dieyun going to have their child? Li Su had always thought that each time they ended their relationship, she had dealt with it. However, there were more instances than he had realized. Perhaps amid his emotions, she had forgotten.

“Peak Master, how about we let the child be born? With both of us having children, the inner demons might naturally dissipate,” Li Su suggested. To let the child be born? The Peak Master Dieyun remained silent for a few moments. Eventually, she made a decision.

“Alright,” she said, and her answer brought relief to Li Su. However, she continued, “But I can’t marry you until the Sect Master comes out of seclusion.” Li Su was just about to bring up this matter. Unmarried childbirth and similar issues were not significant concerns for cultivators. Many cultivators, once they had made a lifelong commitment, did not hold formal weddings or ceremonies. However, Li Su didn’t want to leave any regrets for the women in his life, so he insisted on having a wedding with each one of them. His relationship with the Peak Master Dieyun was indeed unique, and their encounters had been somewhat unexpected. Nonetheless, it was clear that the Peak Master Dieyun held him in high regard in her heart. The time to discuss marriage hadn’t arrived yet. However, the Peak Master Dieyun had decided to let the child be born. Li Su had intended to bring up this matter, but to his surprise, the Peak Master Dieyun spoke first.

“Alright.” Li Su didn’t say much, and he didn’t inquire about the decision. He still didn’t leave the Peak Master Dieyun’s cave, fearing that her inner demons might resurface. Now that she was expecting a child, he was even more concerned. Given her talents, their child was likely to have excellent spiritual roots. A few months later, the Peak Master Dieyun’s belly began to show signs of pregnancy.
