Lin Fengchun has a troublesome problem lately.
If she can't find someone to cultivate dual cultivation with, she'll be kicked out of the Hehuan Sect.
One day, preoccupied with her worries, she went down the mountain and found an unconscious sword cultivator at its foot.
The sword cultivator was handsome and had a great build, too.
Fengchun was overjoyed. When he woke up, she eagerly asked him, "Would you cultivate dual cultivation with me?"
Unfortunately, the sword cultivator refused.
But Fengchun wasn't discouraged. Her master had said that persistence was the key to cultivation.
So she followed the sword cultivator, never giving up.
Their relationship visibly improved, but he still wouldn't cultivate dual cultivation with her.
With the deadline for her examination drawing closer, Fengchun had no choice but to say goodbye to him with a heavy heart. "I'm sorry, I have to go find someone else!"
Lu Xun was injured while breaking through a cultivation realm and fell at the foot of a mountain, where a woman rescued him.
When he woke, he was about to thank her, but she leaned close to his ear and asked, "Would you cultivate dual cultivation with me?"
Lu Xun was utterly shocked. Such an intimate act could only be shared with the person you loved. How could it be treated so casually?!
Red-faced, he refused her, then ran off without looking back, ignoring his injuries.
Unexpectedly, the woman was so persistent that she actually followed him.
The more time Lu Xun spent with her, the more adorable he found her.
But he still believed that love should arise from genuine feelings and remain within the bounds of propriety. It couldn't be treated so casually!
So he continued to solemnly refuse her request to cultivate dual cultivation.
That is, until the day she said goodbye and told him she was going to find someone else.
[Bonus Scene]
On a path through the bamboo grove, Lu Xun blocked Fengchun's way.
Beneath his black hair, his ears were red enough to drip blood.
He gritted his teeth and shouted to A Miao, "I'll cultivate dual cultivation with you!"
Fengchun wondered if her ears were playing tricks on her. "Huh?"
Mortified and terribly embarrassed, Lu Xun formed a hand seal and, without giving her a choice, carried her off to a room.
Just like when they first met, he leaned close to Fengchun's ear and said, "I'll cultivate dual cultivation with you!"
A charming beauty who flirts without realizing it x a stuffy little traditionalist who gets flirted with every day
