Chapter 210: Why Is There a Scent of egg drop porridge?

Walking out of Bai Luoxue’s courtyard.

On the street, Lin Xun was still thinking about how he could help Bai Luoxue regain emotions like those of a normal person.

Lin Xun didn’t know too much about the Huanxi Sect’s cultivation methods, only that they were basically centered around Dual Cultivation.

The Daoist school also has Dual Cultivation.

Dual Cultivation emphasizes the harmony of Yin and Yang.

In truth, Dual Cultivation was originally a proper Great Dao, but along the way, there were always people who took the wrong path.

For example, the method of ‘plucking and supplementing via cauldrons’ evolved from Dual Cultivation; this was already an evil technique that destroyed others’ Foundations and even their lives to improve oneself, something everyone had the right to punish. The Great Joy Temple was a prime representative of this.

The Huanxi Sect was somewhat similar to the Great Joy Temple, also following the method of Cauldrons.

It would also damage people’s lives and Foundations.

The difference between the two was that the Great Joy Temple plucked and supplemented from women, while the Huanxi Sect did so from men.

This was also why the Huanxi Sect was classified as a Demon Sect… furthermore, the tenet of the Huanxi Sect emphasized ‘severing emotions and desires’!

In other words, all Disciples of the Huanxi Sect were required to be emotionless in their hearts.

Because the Huanxi Sect consisted entirely of women, and women were most susceptible to falling in love—and suffered the most when they did—as long as they remained emotionless, they would never fall, no matter how they cultivated.

As for the Saintess of the Huanxi Sect, even if she only had one person in her entire life, she still had to achieve the state of severing emotions and desires.

Because the Saintess of the Huanxi Sect was the future Sect Master of the Huanxi Sect, they had to prioritize the interests of the Sect above all else.

Otherwise, if she only had one person for her whole life, and the Saintess of the Huanxi Sect developed true feelings for the peerless expert she controlled—even wanting to release him from mental control to become a true pair of Dao Companions…

Wouldn’t that be a disaster?

The entire Huanxi Sect would probably end up being controlled by that man.

Therefore, the men controlled by the Saintesses of the Huanxi Sect throughout history were all tools—Puppets with almost no consciousness or Divine Sense, treatable as weapons or robots.

This was one of the reasons why it was absolutely impossible for Lin Xun to go back with Bai Luoxue!

Perhaps in both the Mortal World and the Cultivation World, many people felt that being controlled by the Saintess of the Huanxi Sect wasn’t a bad thing; after all, you would have an unswervingly loyal and stunningly beautiful wife.

However, the moment you have this wife, you are no longer yourself; your consciousness and Divine Sense are completely controlled, making you nothing more than a robot.

After that, you would share life and death with the Saintess of the Huanxi Sect; if either party died, the other would perish within a hundred years.

But did the Saintess of the Huanxi Sect really have to control a peerless expert to maintain the prosperity and safety of the Sect?

That wasn’t necessarily true.

Because the previous Saintess of the Huanxi Sect—Bai Luoxue’s Master—actually hadn’t controlled any experts.

The reason was simple: at that time, Bai Luoxue’s Master was a figure as famous as the Zilin Sacred Lord.

She believed that no man in the world was worthy of her control.

“Wait, something’s wrong!”

Lin Xun rubbed his chin.

If Bai Luoxue’s Master was as famous as Jiang Yuerou, then Bai Luoxue’s talent shouldn’t actually be much inferior to Jiang Qingshang’s.

Reasonably speaking, such a strong-willed Master should have first taught her Disciple not to rely on any stinking men.

Even with the emergence of a ‘Demon Son’ like me, it shouldn’t have changed her mindset.

However, it seemed Bai Luoxue’s Master insisted on her controlling me, to the point it became the young girl’s sole conviction. What was going on?

Could it be that Bai Luoxue harbored some secret? Did she need a stronger person, or even the strongest, to protect her?

Or did Bai Luoxue’s Master foresee some great calamity for the Huanxi Sect?

No, what calamity? The Huanxi Sect’s brothel branches were all over the Mortal World and the Cultivation World of the Myriad Laws World.

These women running the Huanxi Sect’s shops were doing legitimate business, focusing on long-term sustainability and not taking lives.

Although the Huanxi Sect’s overall combat power wasn’t particularly strong, it certainly wasn’t weak either. Plus, with an intelligence-gathering network second only to Tianji City, they didn’t have much conflict with other Sects.

Unless all the perverts in the world became Saints, Lin Xun believed that even if the Ten Thousand Demon Sect went bankrupt, the Huanxi Sect would still stand.

Then it could only be that Bai Luoxue had some other secret?

“Forget it, I won’t think about it anymore.”

He really couldn’t figure it out, so Lin Xun gave up on thinking.

In any case, Lin Xun had already decided that he would change Bai Luoxue’s three-no nature, letting her know what happiness is, what Life Qi is, and even letting her know what true affection is.

Otherwise, she was only sixteen years of age, yet she knew nothing of joy, anger, sorrow, or happiness, nor did she know what affection was. For her to go on like this for the rest of her life would be truly unfair to the young girl.

Moreover, if she ever learned what kind of emotion affection was, she might travel the world in search of her true love and stop pestering him.

Otherwise, Lin Xun felt that Bai Luoxue might just run a Tofu Shop at his doorstep for her entire life.

But how to do it, how to train Bai Luoxue—that was something he needed to ponder carefully.

Regardless, he might visit the Tofu Shop from time to time in the future.

And this definitely must not be known by Qinger!

Otherwise, regardless of the reason, if Qinger found out he was running to the ‘Legendary Beauty’ all day, he’d probably be tied to a rock and sunk into Luo Lake.

Lin Xun checked the time; it was getting a bit late, but fortunately, only forty minutes had passed from the time he entered the Tofu Shop until he left.

As for Qinger taking Yaya to buy clothes, that would take at least an hour.

If he returned to the courtyard now, not only would he not be caught, but he could also leisurely brew a cup of tea.

Just as Lin Xun was humming a little tune and opening the courtyard gate, waiting for Qinger and Yaya to return, he suddenly froze in place.

In the courtyard, Yaya was sticking her little bottom out while rolling a snowball, and Qinger was sitting there, looking at him with a smile.

“Brother Lin~~~” Hearing the sound of the door opening, Yaya ran over on her short legs and hugged Lin Xun. “Brother Lin, Yaya wants to build a snowman. Brother Lin, come join me.”

Jiang Qingshang stood up, walked over to Lin Xun, and smilingly rubbed Yaya’s head:

“Yaya, Yaya, go back to your room first. Big Sister has something to say to Brother Lin. Later, the three of us will build a big snowman together, okay?”

“Mm-hmm.” Although she didn’t know what Big Sister wanted to say to Brother Lin, Yaya happily ran back to her room to draw.

Watching Yaya’s retreating figure, for the first time, Lin Xun desperately wished Yaya was by his side.

“Qinger… You… you’re back.” Lin Xun swallowed hard, cold sweat already breaking out on his forehead.

“Yes, we’re back.” Jiang Qingshang pinched her sleeve and gently wiped Lin Xun’s forehead.

The faint fragrance from Jiang Qingshang’s body lingered at the tip of Lin Xun’s nose.

“Husband.”

“Hmm?”

“Husband, why is there a scent of egg drop porridge on you?”
