Dual Cultivation

Chapter 1096  Because I Am Here!

Upon entering Su Yang's home, Lin Xinyi took a seat at the table in the living room.

Su Yang sat directly on the opposite side so that they could face each other.

"So, you want to know why you're at the Boundless Yin Yang Sect, correct?"

Lin Xinyi nodded. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

"From what you've told me, I believe you want to understand love."

"Love…?" Lin Xinyi's eyes widened, seemingly in disbelief at its simplicity.

Su Yang narrowed his eyes at her and said, "You're probably thinking there's no way it's something as simple as love, right?"

"Well, you're wrong. While love may seem simple on the surface, it's actually a very complicated thing. There are many different types of love."

"However, I don't think you're at the Boundless Yin Yang Sect only because you want to understand love. You are also curious. You want to understand the relationships between the God of Pleasure and his family. Unfortunately, you will not find the answer you seek here."

"This is especially true if you want to understand the feeling of love. While I can't say that there is no love to be found in this sort of environment, it's very different from the rest of the world."

"The disciples here love pleasure. I wouldn't be surprised if more than half of the disciples in the sect have no feelings for each other—that they only cultivate for the pleasure and their own benefit."

"Of course, I am not saying that's a bad thing. That's just the nature of dual cultivators. It's much harder for us to experience genuine love, but when it does happen, it's the greatest feeling in the world." Su Yang spoke with a gentle smile on his face, as if he was speaking from experience.

Lin Xinyi stared at Su Yang's face with a somewhat dazed expression. Did she really come to the Boundless Yin Yang Sect to understand love? Why does she even want to understand it in the first place?

After a moment of silence, Lin Xinyi spoke in a low voice, "My father started paying less attention to my mother after getting a second wife. Things only got worse from there as he acquired more wives. My mother constantly worries that he'll eventually completely ignore her or, worse, kick her out of the family like trash."

"Alas, my mother's worries came true after my father acquired his seventh wife a few years ago."

"Although he didn't kick her out of the family, he stopped paying attention to her, and it made my mother feel invisible, a feeling worse than death to her. No matter how much my mother tried to regain his attention, her attempts only made things worse and angered the other wives, who were also fighting for the same attention. Eventually, they started working together to get rid of my mother."

"In the end, my mother fell sick from stress and died. After my mother's death, I left the family and joined the Boundless Yin Yang Sect, a place that was said to be the birth of the God of Pleasure."

"I not only admire the God of Pleasure, but I also envy his wives. If my mother had been one of them, she would definitely still be alive right now."

Tears flowed from Lin Xinyi's eyes as she revealed her story to Su Yang.

"..."

This wasn't Su Yang's first hearing of such a story. In his previous life, many of his partners were mistresses who had been mistreated, just like Lin Xinyi's mother.

Although it wasn't true love, Su Yang showed them the love they should've gotten from their worthless husbands.

However, when said husbands found out their wives had sought love from someone else, they immediately became enraged and blamed Su Yang for everything, ignoring the reason it happened in the first place.

"Do you think I made a mistake by coming here…?" Lin Xinyi suddenly asked after wiping her tears.

"Even if you did make a mistake, it's okay. The most important thing is that you realize and acknowledge your mistake. With that said, I don't think you made any mistakes. If anything, you made the right choice by coming here. Do you know why?"

"Why?"

Su Yang smiled and said, "Because I am here! If I weren't here, it would've been a mistake, but luckily for you, that's not the case!"

"What kind of nonsense is that?"

Despite Su Yang's narcissistic words, Lin Xinyi cracked a chuckle.

"Are you trying to tell me that you'll teach me love?" she then asked.

"You want to know how it feels to be one of the God of Pleasure's wives, right? I can make it a reality."

"How will you do that?" As ridiculous as it sounded, Su Yang had piqued Lin Xinyi's interest.

"I will make you my partner in the Boundless Yin Yang Sect, but you won't be the only one. I will have several other partners besides you. However, I promise that you'll all receive the same amount of 'love' from me. It might not be completely the same, but it's close. What do you think?"

"You can't be serious…" Lin Xinyi stared at him with a bewildered face.

"Do I look like I am joking?" Su Yang spoke with a serious expression.

"That's the most outrageous thing I've heard in my life!"

"Is it really? Did you forget that we're in the Boundless Yin Yang Sect? As dual cultivators, it is completely normal for us to have more than one partner."

"..." Lin Xinyi fell silent, as she could not argue with his logic.

"Of course, I can't force you to become my partner. However, if you agree to be my partner, I can guarantee you'll be envied by every disciple in this sect, and you'll know how it feels to be a wife to the God of Pleasure."

Lin Xinyi fell silent, almost as if she was seriously pondering his offer.

'He's the only male disciple I can have a proper conversation with since I joined this sect. Moreover, I've shared everything about myself with him… If I have to give someone a chance, he's the only one that comes to mind,' Lin Xinyi thought to herself.

After a moment of silence, Lin Xinyi nodded with a flushed face, "Okay, I'll be your partner."
