“Well in that case, safe travels,” Lin Yi spoke decisively, ready to close the door.

Liu Mei Niang quickly blocked the door, bit her lip, and said softly, “Little Yi, what do you think of me?” f reeweb novel.com

“Aunt Liu, I think highly of you… Wait, if you have something to say, say it outright,” Lin Yi casually praised, then sensing something was off, asked directly.

Liu Mei Niang flicked her hair, her lips neared Lin Yi’s ear, and slowly whispered, “From the first day you came, I took a liking to you. You’re honest and diligent. If you don’t mind, why don’t we become Daoist couples? We could support each other and be a pair of celestial lovers. Both of us have lower-grade spiritual roots, surely we could have a child with spiritual roots. It could help us go further in our cultivation journey.”

Then, in a low seductive voice, she continued, “If you are unwilling to become Daoist partners, we could enjoy passionate moments in secret without meddling in each other’s affairs. I’m well-versed in the dual cultivation path, it would make you happy every day…”

Lin Yi was stunned. He hadn’t expected that Liu Mei Niang, this matchmaker, would take matters into her own hands. This sacrifice was quite substantial. After a moment, he slowly said, “Thank you for your kind intentions, Aunt Liu. I’m honored, but I only have a lower-grade spiritual root, at the Qi Refining Three Layers stage.”

“You, Aunt Liu, are a beauty of the Immortal Realm. Breathtaking, capable of captivating nations, it wouldn’t be excessive for you to marry a Sect Leader. I don’t want to hinder your bright future. I only wish to diligently cultivate, in hopes of reaching Foundation Establishment soon. Whatever happens today, I’ll keep it a secret, please understand, Aunt Liu.”

The saying goes “cordiality yields wealth”, he didn’t want to provoke Liu Mei Niang’s resentment with a cold refusal. It would be easier to appease her with some sweet words rather than having another enemy.

“Little Yi, you’re quite an honest man, I didn’t expect you to be so eloquent. Well, if you want to dedicate yourself to cultivation, I won’t insist.” Liu Mei Niang beamed at Lin Yi’s words, waved her hand laughingly, then approached Lin Yi, using a careful voice to warn, “Watch out for other people’s schemes.”

Then, she stamped her foot, pretending to be angry, “You just keep cultivating. You might not even break through to the Qi Refining middle stage before you die, and live the rest of your life as a bachelor. Don’t blame anyone else.” After finishing, she stormed off.

Lin Yi watched Liu Mei Niang’s departing figure, shaking his head. What in the world were all these events? Zhang Yuan Cheng truly was a beast for letting a widow make such a sacrifice.

Closing the courtyard door, he turned to head back to his room. At that moment, the popup window appeared again. He initially thought it had increased his experience through small worldly affairs. But one look left him wide-eyed.

“Host faced temptation of beauty, staying firm and unswayed throughout. Gained title [Color is Void].”

By refusing to marry and have kids, he actually gained the title. A strange look appeared on Lin Yi’s face as he focused on the title’s effect, “Resistance to beauty +10%. When facing beauty’s temptation, remain calm and composed, 5%-20% chance of enlightenment, cultivation speed/spell technique improvement speed +5%-30% (depending on degree of temptation).”

Wow, this Color is Void effect was quite powerful. The greater the temptation, the faster the cultivation speed. He could even gain enlightenment, turning him into a beast. For others, women might affect their drawing of the sword’s speed, but for him, women would increase his cultivation speed.

With a maximum 30% increase in cultivation speed, plus the effects of the other two titles, that was a total of 50%, a significant half increase. This also included his spell technique improvement speed, dual benefits in practicing both martial arts and spells.

Lin Yi contemplated the best way to utilize this title. Should he call over Liu Mei Niang and focus on cultivation during their intimate moments? Shaking his head, he knew it wouldn’t work. A widow like Liu Mei Niang needed passionate love. If he just watched and didn’t cultivate, maintaining a platonic relationship, she might not accept it.

Furthermore, even if he could forcefully concentrate on cultivation, he feared that Aunt Liu might not be able to resist mounting an attack of lust. She was like a wolf at 30 and a tiger at 40, let alone being a female cultivator.

Moreover, the surrounding spiritual energy was weak. Without Spirit Rice, even if he cultivated all night, the progress in his cultivation wouldn’t be significant.
