As for Yun Qing, the person in question, she had a conflicted expression on her face, as if making the choice was extremely painful for her.
No one dared to urge them; they could only wait anxiously.
After a long while, Yun Qing closed her eyes and finally made up her mind.
"I'm sorry, I really can't bear to abandon any of you. So I apologize, from now on, let me raise Jingming alone, and please don't come looking for me again."
"What?"
"Qingqing!"
"don't want!"
"I won't allow it!"
Four different voices rang out, all carrying the same disbelief.
Jingming, who was in Lingye's arms, was secretly delighted: His mother said she would raise him alone, which meant that his position was much more important than these uncles.
The thought of no longer having to face his father's gloomy old face every day filled him with immense joy.
Yun Qing didn't choose any of them, which surprised none of the men. However, this also shows that she didn't favor any of them.
While one's own failure is painful, it is the success of one's rival that is truly despairing.
After a brief silence, the group accepted the fact that Yun Qing didn't like them enough.
However, they also belatedly developed a strong sense of crisis because of the newly added Si Ming.
Although Yun Qing doesn't like anyone right now, what if one day she meets someone she truly falls for and forgets all of them?
Just thinking about this possibility makes men feel like they're dying of pain.
So let's join forces and make Yun Qing lose all interest in looking for others.
Qingyun was the first person to convince himself, because he knew very well that he was the one with the least chance of winning.
Having figured this out, he immediately sent a secret telepathic message to the others.
Upon hearing Qingyun's suggestion, Linghua and Lingye's first reaction was that it was absurd; how could they possibly agree with someone else...?
No, Ling Hua suddenly realized, wasn't it the same in his previous life in the mortal realm? He knew everything and kept to himself and the other two. The turning point was when Yun Qing became pregnant and became the Crown Princess. From then on, he lost the right to be with her.
Ling Ye had naturally thought of these things as well, but he was domineering by nature and unwilling to share them with others.
Yun Qing appeared to be keeping her heart closed off, but in reality, she was secretly observing their expressions. She could tell at a glance that only Ling Ye was having a hard time accepting it, which was understandable, since he had been eating alone for the last few months in the mortal realm. She decided to take another drastic measure.
"Alright, my mind is made up. You should all leave, especially you, Ling Ye. I am now the Heavenly Emperor and have to be responsible for the safety of the Heavenly Court. As the Demon Lord, you'd better not come looking for me."
Upon hearing this, Ling Ye panicked. He had been hoping to use the excuse of visiting the child to pester Yun Qing, so how could he not come?
Under these circumstances, he had no choice but to agree to Qingyun's proposal.
The group exchanged glances and then told Yun Qing about it.
After hearing this, Yun Qing's eyes widened: "Are you really willing to live in harmony for my sake?"
Ling Hua nodded on behalf of the others: "That's right, Qingqing, now that you are the Heavenly Emperor, we are willing to be your wise and capable assistants and help you manage the Immortal Realm."
Yun Qing's heart was already pounding, but her face still showed a conflicted expression as she hesitated and asked, "Ling Ye, is that what you think too? You are the Demon Lord, is it alright if you don't return to the Demon Realm?"
Ling Ye was naturally extremely unwilling, even to the point of wanting to vomit blood, but what could he do? He just couldn't let go of this heartless woman.
He nodded through gritted teeth and pointed at Ling Jingming, saying, "It's alright. I was planning to pass the Demon Lord position to Jingming anyway. He was an emperor in the mortal realm for over a decade, so managing the Demon Realm should be a piece of cake for him."
Ling Jingming: You didn't say that before we came.
"Father, I don't want to go to the Demon Realm. Didn't you say I'm still a child and need to spend more time with Mother?"
Ling Ye quickly covered his son's mouth: "What nonsense are you talking about! How old are you? Why are you acting like a child? Didn't you want to go back to the mortal realm before? I'll send you back later. After a hundred years, you will officially become the next Demon Lord."
Ling Jingming: You're so high and mighty. Before, you were afraid that Mom wouldn't want you, so you had to drag me along to play the victim. Now that everything's settled, you think I'm in your way. Well, I'll just do the opposite of what you want.
Seeing Ling Ye's uncompromising attitude, he turned and looked at Yun Qing with teary eyes.
"Mother, I'm not leaving. I want to stay here with you."
"Alright, Ling Ye, don't be so serious. You're almost scaring the child to tears. Let him stay with me for a few days. It's my fault as his mother."
Yunqing could be hard-hearted when it came to men, but Jingming was the child she carried for ten months and gave birth to. How could she not love him?
Before I saw him, I could force myself not to think about him, but now that my child is right in front of me, I have to make up for it somehow.
In the end, Ling Jingming couldn't fight city hall, and he had to stay in Heaven for the time being.
However, at his insistence, his body was restored to that of a teenager, a solution that everyone could accept.
A Few Things That Happened After the Happy Reunion
1. Yun Qing built a magnificent palace next to Lingxiao Palace, which she named Lingyun Palace.
Si Ming was jealous for a long time after he found out, but his name was not among them. Yun Qing was both amused and exasperated when she heard this.
“I didn’t think about these things at all when I was naming them. The Lingxiao Palace has existed for tens of thousands of years, so the name can only follow its tradition. That’s why I took the character ‘Yun’ from the name. I really didn’t consider the names of the three of them.”
Si Ming knew this, of course, but he was still unhappy, and used this as an excuse to get Yun Qing to coax him for several days.
