It was the fate of a whole nation that she spoke of.
So when Jiang Feng heard these words, he just felt a tingling in his scalp, but thinking about it, anything that Liu Tangxi singled out wouldn’t be anything mundane.
Upon further thought, he was merely at the Core Formation level and was able to vie for the fate of an entire nation simply by relying on his senior sister’s connections, showing how terrifying the influence his senior sister and master held in the current world.
"No, no, senior sister, even if you say so, I won’t be tempted! My loyalty is solely to you, senior sister, don’t think about marrying me off, not even to a princess!"
He straightened his back.
Though his mind was somewhat swayed, the pitiful and boring pride of a man still plagued him, even causing Liu Tangxi to pause for a moment at his use of the word "marry," then she simply smiled lightly.
"Ah, that sounds nice, keep talking, perhaps I’ll take care all those troublesome matters for you."
With that said, Jiang Feng didn’t hesitate to start flattering her.
"Every day being with senior sister, who outshines all with her stunning beauty, peerless grace, and natural allure, how could I ever be tempted by any other woman..."
"Give me something substantial."
She shifted again, resting her other leg on Jiang Feng as a sign for him to continue massaging, her expression was half-amused; previous Liu Tangxi would never show any expression, as if everything was just fleeting in her heart.
Using Jiang Feng’s words, there was a divine quality to Liu Tangxi, but his senior sister seemed to lean more towards her humanity now.
How could the young man not see that his senior sister had already relented? He hugged the long leg and began to knead energetically, wishing he could exert all his strength.
"Every day, living on the mountain, all the sisters and disciples I meet are exemplary, and with you as a role model, senior sister, any future bride of mine would certainly be held to your standard. How could I possibly settle for those mediocre women, right?"
"Besides, I am still young, inexperienced, and certainly not ready for the responsibilities of marriage. I should at least reach a minor accomplishment in my cultivation before considering this matter."
"Moreover, my wholehearted dedication to you, senior sister, isn’t insincere; actually, it’s your fault for raising my standards so high— with you around, any other woman seems like the past..."
Noticing that Liu Tangxi licked her slightly rosy lips, Jiang Feng immediately scurried over with hot tea, presenting it with a flattering smile, and Liu Xianzi, unreserved, took a sip.
Then, she opened with a statement.
"Two years have passed, yet you’ve still not let go."
The young man’s smile froze.
A strike that pierces through.
Liu Tangxi’s nature was like the sword in her hand, sheathed or unsheathed, and if unsheathed, it must draw blood.
"Junior brother, you are different from ordinary people. Among all those I’ve encountered, only you are unique—bold yet meticulous, fond of beauty yet not indulging in desires, seeming carefree yet never escaping the sea of bitterness."
"I know you dislike preachings and have your own thoughts, but how can a finite being measure an infinite world?"
"Over time, I fear you might end up like my fellow seniors." Google seaʀᴄh NoveIＦire.net
This seemed to be the first time Liu Tangxi ever lectured Jiang Feng.
With his intelligence, it was not hard to discern that senior sister’s words were not merely nudging him to participate in matchmaking.
Instead, she was advising him not to be too extreme, reminding him to cherish the moment, to go with the flow, finding balance and meaning in life without lingering in the past.
For a cultivator, dwelling incessantly on past events is the most dreaded pitfall— in the words of the Cultivation World:
This is a Heart Demon.
"Don’t stop, the neck, I drank quite a bit last time and got a stiff neck."
She moved her leg off the young man and then tilted her chin, commanding Jiang Feng without any ambiguity.
"Okay, okay, I’ve learned my lesson, senior sister."
His face loosened, and then he moved behind Liu Xianzi, gathering her long hair that fell to her lower back and tying it up with a hairband.
His fingers pressed on the acupoints, and a bold guess emerged—could it be that his senior sister was teaching him acupuncture points so he might serve her better in the future?
"Mm~ Not bad craftsmanship; though you say sweet things, I know you mostly don’t listen, but let it be, if one day you go mad, it will just be a hard trip for me, senior sister."
The corners of his mouth twitched.
Never expect to hear any comforting words from Liu Tangxi’s mouth; whenever she speaks, it seems like she is just playing around.
If one day he accidentally strayed into the Demonic Path, he reckoned his senior sister would finely mince him into minced meat.
"Ah, senior sister, rest assured, I’m not that foolish, I understand the principle."
"You say that, and your sister feels relieved. So remember to come back early next month, I’ll take you to Daliang to meet that girl."
"No, no, no, no, no!"
He shook his head decidedly.
This somewhat abstract and even excessive reaction puzzled her. Turning around and looking at Jiang Feng’s expression, she originally thought that the boy was still hung up on his former fiancée and held lingering feelings, hence his reluctance.
But now it seemed a bit different from what she thought? Why does it seem like the boy is afraid?
Seeming to realize his expression was a bit out of place, Jiang Feng couldn’t help but say somewhat helplessly: "Look senior sister, do not do unto others what you don’t want done unto yourself. I know you are constantly urged by the elders to get married, but you don’t have to repeat the same trick on your junior brother, right?"
"Oh, ever since I started taking in disciples, they’ve never asked me about getting married again. Had I known, I should have taken in a few disciples just for fun."
"Moreover, why must I absolutely get married? Aren’t you worried, senior sister, that I might become obsessed with women every day and unable to extricate myself..."
"It sounds as if you aren’t obsessed now, mixing up every day with those two, don’t think I don’t know that little fox sneaks into your bed every day."
He wiped the non-existent cold sweat from his forehead.
"Senior sister, don’t talk nonsense, I am now genuinely a man of Primordial Yang!"
"It’s just that you have lustful thoughts but no courage to act."
It’s indeed family; she could see through him at one glance.
"Anyway, senior sister, you have to give me a valid reason, otherwise, even if you beat me to death, I won’t..."
Liu Xianzi silently pulled out a wooden sword.
"Uh, everything is as senior sister says."
Seeing Jiang Feng’s downcast disposition, Liu Tangxi couldn’t help finding it somewhat funny, and then she put down the wooden sword. Truthfully, she was not adverse to or discriminating against the practice of Dual Cultivation.
Because everyone’s path of opportunity is different, some people are naturally attractive and have the motivation to delve into Double Cultivation Technique, thereby honing their bedroom skills to reach higher realms.
Is there anything unreasonable about that?
No matter how bad the reputation, strength is everything. Liu Tangxi understood this principle long ago; as long as you are strong enough, everyone will naturally shut up. Seeing her junior brother remain unmoved, Liu Tangxi could only reveal the truth.
"Let’s put it bluntly."
"In the past two years, I’ve visited many places and have yet to find a disciple that really captures my heart. Though there are quite a few people in our mountains, there are only two true disciples. Compared to the prosperous days of Swordmaster Peak, it’s far from good enough."
"The Princess of Country Liang has excellent aptitude. Although not comparable to your fiancée and the beauty from Southern Border, she is in no way inferior to you, just lacking something inside her."
"She possesses the fate of an entire country and is also endowed with the Five Thunder True Method, which really moves my heart."
"Then why don’t you just directly take her under your wing?" Jiang Feng asked curiously, but Liu Tangxi just gave him a look.
The look of seeing an idiot.
Jiang Feng just then suddenly remembered, their sect was called Swordmaster Peak after all, taking her in might not really teach her anything.
"I may not be proficient in Daoist Skills, but I know a bit, and can also invite good teachers to instruct."
The young man felt somewhat uneasy, but his senior sister, contrary to her usual self, showed a gentle smile.
"Whether you get married or not, it doesn’t matter."
"Senior sister is sending you because you have plenty of experience in enticing little girls. Jiang Xian was also coaxed and fooled by you to come up the mountain."
"You, help your senior sister trick that well-to-do and talented lady from home up the mountain."
