Hearing Shu Yidan's cold declaration of choosing a concubine, Feng Shiyao's gaze sharpened.
"…I understand. Do you have any candidates?" Feng Shiyao's tone was like nothing had changed.
"Why don't you choose?" Saying this, Shu Yidan immediately tossed her the jade slip on the Sect's female disciples that the Sect Master granted him.
After sending a stream of divine sense into the slip, Feng Shiyao pursed her lips in silence, before speaking. "Well, in terms of cultivation talent, this Shi Yuehua seems…"
"You idiot! At least bother acting a little jealous! I just told you I am accepting a concubine and you began picking one out immediately! Cry a little! Say some words about loyalty! At least make me promise to have you be the main wife…!" Shu Yidan burst out, having his ideas of harem romance lifted straight from the xianxia he read utterly destroyed.
"…As the Sect Master said, there is a huge problem with my background. Being a girl of a whorehouse is… I never expected you to grant me the status of the main wife. Honestly, I didn't even dare wish for love. I expected you to only cultivate me with resources and use my body to breakthrough." Saying this, Feng Shiyao's voice cracked blinked through tears. "To even be trusted to enter your Cultivation Residence… is something I never thought would happen. And today hearing you say that you'll kill that woman, that you care for me, that you even want me to be jealous… that you have such affection for me, it seems like a dream…"
Shu Yidan was shaken by that reply. Even though he had vaguely understood her circumstances, hearing her confess in such a manner still shook his heart.
"You are my Dao Companion! Of course I'll have affection for you! Of course I'll want to protect you!" Saying this, Shu Yidan gave her a tight hug. Feng Shiyao pressed herself on his body, wiping her eyes on his sleeves.
A few moments passed in silence.
"…So, about your plans on accepting concubines, do you want a harem-?" Until Feng Shiyao broke the moment.
"…Feng Shiyao, I don't want a fucking harem. And I don't plan on accepting any other damned girl from the Sect…" Shu Yidan immediately interrupted her.
"But the Sect Master…?" Feng Shiyao's question was interrupted by him once again.
"You know what, I'll be going out soon with my dear fellow apprentice sister Xiaoyi to temper my heart in the mortal world. There, I'll meet a mortal girl with whom I'll fall for, a case of 'love at first sight'. Unfortunately, her talent will be so low that I won't be able to have her return by my side to the Sect without losing face. So I'll just give her some techniques and resources, along with a promise – to meet me at the Heavenly Wind Sect and be my wife." Hearing Shu Yidan's answer, Feng Shiyao beside him had a confused expression.
"In the meantime, my actual Dao Companion will have a breakthrough to Nascent Soul. Her first action in the world of cultivation would be slaughtering her master, the Yin-Yang Conception Gate's Sect Master, revealing her to be a demon who was planning on seizing her disciple's body. With this, her problems with her background will be cleared." Hearing this, Feng Shiyao embraced Shu Yidan's side once more.
Thinking over Shu Yidan's plan, Feng Shiyao asked him. "What happens to the mortal girl who you fall in love with, then?"
"Most likely, that poor girl's low talent renders the techniques and resources as pearls before swine. She cannot escape her mortality and is remembered by the man who gave her the promise as a stray memory.
If that girl does make it to the Sect though, she shall be granted the position of the man who gave her the promise as a Sword-Maiden. However, that man is now henpecked by his Nascent Soul Dao Companion, so she cannot even gain his attention." Saying this, Shu Yidan finished speaking.
"…So, you just plan on giving away a fortuitous chance to enter the World of Cultivation to a mortal girl that you randomly meet. Then, you'll convince the Sect Master that you fell in 'love at first sight' with a random mortal girl, gave her a promise and will wait for her to return to the Sect…" Remarking this, Feng Shiyao glanced at Shu Yidan unknowing of the thoughts going on in his head.
Shu Yidan shrugged. "Well, I am young and dumb, along with having a little childish rebelliousness after being ignored by the Sect Master for years as he travelled the world… Isn't it natural for me to lash out against the Sect Master's wish for me to take a concubine?
Also, while it seems stupid and the Sect Master will likely see through it, he will also play along. After all you have a Dao Domain now, and your breakthrough to Nascent Soul is imminent. Your status can easily be whitewashed so it doesn't make sense to suppress you for any reason."
"OK. I'll follow you, no matter what you do. So… Don't abandon me, alright?" Saying this, Feng Shiyao hugged him once again.
"Yeah, yeah, now stop with that pitiful look. Let's go to sleep, it's already been long into the night." Saying this, Shu Yidan changed his clothes to nightwear and jumped into the bed.
Feng Shiyao followed after him, changing into a comfort dress. Pressing herself to Shu Yidan's side, she whispered, "Goodnight, love." Before finally pressing a kiss on his cheek. Shu Yidan repeated the whisper, gave her a kiss and closed his eyes.
"Brother Shu… I'll quickly cultivate, alright? After I breakthrough to Nascent Soul, we'll dual cultivate so that you can enter Nascent Soul as well! We'll then kill that woman together, which will whitewash my status! Then… I will… have your child…" Hearing that giddy voice, Shu Yidan had goosebumps.
"Don't get too excited, your cultivation is still under sabotage. We'll see what problems are with it tomorrow. Anyway, I am still a little scared of your Sect Master's tricks so we'll put off our dual cultivation until we get to the bottom of what they are, right?" Shu Yidan replied with closed eyes.
"…Alright." Feng Shiyao's voice didn't have a trace of disappointment, knowing the great battles he had fought after their first tryst.
"And get a little closer to Xiaoyi, would you? She is a little kid herself! Heh, with the three of us sleeping on the same bed, it's like we are mother, father and daughter, haha!" With this final joke, Shu Yidan ruffled Feng Shiyao's hair and stopped talking. Feng Shiyao wordlessly hugged his side on the bed.
In a few moments, the pace of Feng Shiyao's breath changed. Opening his eyes, he saw that she was fast asleep… while still holding him by the side.
'…I am such a hypocrite. All these manipulations… they all are to solidify the loyalty of Feng Shiyao to me, even when it is revealed I was chasing the princess behind her back… and even gain her support in that matter! How can I be anything else other than a hypocrite?' Thinking this, Shu Yidan's face returned to indifference while his heart burnt with guilt. But he didn't regret anything.
Shu Yidan closed his eyes. He would have a restful sleep that night.
