Chapter 62 - Girls in a Matriarchal World Are Just Too Scary

More like a fox spirit than a fox spirit itself—how on earth did he grow up like this? Such a perfect and beautiful young man should be brought home by her and made to have a litter of little foxes. But, alas, she was too young and lacked the power to whisk him away. "Chirp chirp chirp." ‘If only mom were here.’ The little fox thought of her mother and felt a bit melancholic. Her mother was incredibly indulgent, giving her everything she wanted. Now, she desired for this perfect meal ticket to become her husband. With that thought, the little fox's face turned red, but fortunately, her fur concealed the blush, revealing nothing. Unaware of the little creature’s devious intentions, Su Yan wandered leisurely through the streets, occasionally picking out some local snacks to indulge his taste buds. "This one's nice, and that one looks delicious too." Su Yan was thoroughly enjoying the food but soon realized something was amiss. He turned around and his face fell. Unbeknownst to him, a crowd of women had gathered behind him. When he suddenly turned to look, they scrambled to cover up their intentions. Some pretended to admire the scenery, some feigned asking for directions, and others acted like they were shopping... "Ugh~" Su Yan sighed. Did they take him for a fool with such over-the-top acting? Here to sightsee? What scenery was there to see on a crowded street? If you want a view, go to the countryside! And pretending to ask for directions? Did you not see that the person you were asking had already walked off? The most absurd was the one who pretended to shop... "Our shop sells products that come with a self-heating feature, a must-have for lonely home trips. Come and buy!" Hearing the vendor's pitch, Su Yan's expression turned odd. This sounded like a cultivator’s version of that kind of item, rumored to be created by a female cultivator. For men, it was undoubtedly something good, but for women, it was utterly impractical to purchase such a thing. "Chirp chirp chirp?" The little fox looked at Su Yan, her face puzzled as she glanced at the neatly arranged cylindrical objects. What are those? Cups for holding water? "Kids shouldn’t look." Su Yan knocked on the fox's head. The little one didn’t need to know about such things. As for how he came to know... "Ahem!" Su Yan coughed twice and continued strolling through the streets. Being trailed was just part of having such an alluring presence. As long as they didn’t bother him, he didn’t mind. Thinking this, Su Yan resumed his shopping, but he clearly underestimated his allure. The number of women tailing him kept increasing, and some were bold enough to approach him for conversation. A very lovely maiden approached, her face flushed with color. "Sir, my name is Lian Er. Can we get to know each other?" Su Yan shook his head in refusal. "Best not to." After a while, a woman dressed in luxurious attire, with an air of arrogance, walked over. "Man, you've successfully caught my attention. How about we have a meal together?" Su Yan replied, "I’d rather not." After turning away two women, Su Yan thought they would desist and not bother him again, but he was gravely mistaken. A mature woman with long black silk stockings approached, her hair cascading to her waist. "This gentleman." "Hmm?" Su Yan was munching on a snack, casting her a dull glance, feeling a bit irritable. Another woman ensnared by his charm. What excuse could he use to refuse her now? Just as Su Yan was lost in his rambling thoughts, the woman in black silk suddenly knelt down on one knee, solemnly declaring aloud. "I fell in love with you at first sight. Please, you must marry me!" "Pfft!" Su Yan couldn't hold it in. The food in his mouth sprayed out. He had dealt with countless women's advances, whether from girls or mature women, and was quite experienced. But to have someone propose directly like this, she was the first. Flustered, Su Yan hurriedly said, "You must be drunk. We just met." The black silk mature woman replied, "Love at first sight holds no logic. What does it matter?" You probably aren't in love at first sight; you’re just coveting my looks! Su Yan silently thought to himself, coldly saying, "Sorry, I'm not interested. Besides, aren’t you already married? Why harass me?" The woman’s attire was opulent, suggesting she wasn’t from an ordinary family. The black silk on her legs exuded a slight spiritual power, undoubtedly made by a cultivator, indicating its preciousness. With such a background, it's unlikely she was single. After all, given her mature development, it couldn’t solely be attributed to natural growth. "They're just common folks, nothing more. Only you are my true love." The black silk mature woman pressed on relentlessly. Su Yan frowned slightly, saying, "I despise people like you—you can’t move past a pretty face. Are you not guilty towards your own husband?" The black silk mature woman said, "You misunderstand, young man. I have no husband. Those men are just for play. Marry me, and I’ll sever all ties with them." Su Yan coldly replied, "Forget it. Take that line to fool someone else. I have absolutely no desire to know you." "Why? Don't tell me you prefer those inexperienced young girls?" The black silk mature woman continued, "What’s so great about them? They lack experience and can't make you happy. Marry this older sister, and each day post-marriage, I'll shower you with love." Saying so, the black silk mature woman glanced at his lower body, her glistening red lips drawing a lick. Su Yan held his breath in shock. This cultivation world was too odd—selling such toys on the street was one thing, but encountering a perverse and lascivious individual so often was something else. Who did she think he was? How could he possibly fall for her temptation? "Get lost!" Su Yan released a gentle aura of spiritual power. The black silk woman was knocked back by the force, scrambling away in a hurry. Seeing the aberrant woman vanish, Su Yan breathed a sigh of relief. After such an incident, his interest in shopping severely diminished. It seemed the mundane towns weren’t entirely safe either, so it was best to keep a low profile. With that thought, Su Yan headed towards a sparsely populated area, intending to clear his head for half an hour, then quickly return. "Eh, what's this?" Passing by a narrow alley, a flash of white caught Su Yan’s eye. Curiously, he turned to look. There, two snow-white legs glistened under the sunlight, marred by specks of blood. "What’s going on here?" Su Yan approached and found an unconscious young girl. An alley, a girl, unconscious, disheveled clothes... These elements combined painted a disturbing scene. A beautiful girl, victim to scoundrels, discarded after being used. But considering the uniqueness of this world... "Things might not be that simple."
