99: The drawbacks of divine power: the mind is restless

“Compared to that unruly Junior Sister, this Senior Sister is truly a good person.”

After both women left, he couldn't help but comment.

“A good person? I don't think so.”

Ao Ling霜 suddenly spoke, making Lin Yuan pause.

“Sister Shuang, why do you say that? Is there something wrong with Senior Apprentice Sister Mo?”

“She invited you to comprehend the sword after only meeting once? Do you think that's normal?”

“This… it does seem a bit abrupt, but it's understandable, I suppose, since she said she didn't know any men within the sect.”

“Heh, I observe her Cultivation has reached the Qi Gathering Realm, which means she's been in the Inner Sect for at least ten years. How could she not have any acquaintances? Even if she truly didn't, she wouldn't invite a newly initiated, unfamiliar Disciple, would she?”

“That makes sense. Senior Apprentice Sister Mo indeed didn't have a sufficient reason to invite me. It seems she was lying earlier, but why would she do that?”

“She must be coveting something on you.”

“What do I have that's worth her coveting?”

“Have you forgotten being attacked by Song Mian before?”

“Sister Shuang, do you mean she's also after the Opportunity on me?”

“Most likely.”

“Surely not, after all, I'm a Sect Master Disciple, and there's no conflict of interest between us. Is it necessary to scheme against me for a vague, illusory Opportunity?”

“You can't be sure. Perhaps she harbors something else in her heart that we don't know about. In any case, safety is paramount, so it's best to be careful.”

“Haha, alright, Sister Shuang. You said she harbors something else in her heart—could it be that she thinks I'm handsome, and so she's fallen for me?”

“With your divine looks, Xiao Yuan, it's not impossible.”

Lin Yuan had made a joke, but he didn't expect her to agree, which made him a little embarrassed:

“Cough, cough, Sister Shuang thinks too highly of me. Although I am handsome, Senior Apprentice Sister Mo has profound Cultivation, and it's impossible for her to fall in love with a Junior like me without reason. My words just now were merely a jest. You are right, we should indeed be wary of her.”

“Mm, it's good that you understand. Compared to this Senior Sister with hidden motives, I actually find that innocent and straightforward Junior Sister easier to get along with.”

Hearing this, Lin Yuan's mind recalled the white-robed girl's face, and the tender, fair feet encased in the purple bamboo slippers. He couldn't help but praise, “That Junior Sister has a bit of a temper, but her appearance is indeed excellent; she's a rare beauty.”

In his eyes, among his own women, only his Master's Wife and Lu Yichan could compare in looks.

Of course, the three women had different styles.

His Master's Wife possessed the beauty of mature charm, Lu Yichan the beauty of cold arrogance and heroism, and this Zhao Senior Sister the beauty of delicate cuteness.

Any of the three women could make a man's heart stir.

Lin Yuan had already obtained the first two, and now, recalling Zhao Cailian's graceful demeanor, a thought suddenly emerged in his mind: how sweet and soft would it be to embrace Zhao Senior Sister's body?

And then there was Senior Apprentice Sister Mo, with her tall and voluptuous figure, full and prominent breasts, and round, firm buttocks—so perfect that not a single flaw could be found.

Coupled with the uniquely charming and exquisite faces of both women, they were truly rare beauties in the human world.

If they were to shed their clothes together and serve him naked on the same bed, to what extent would that experience be wonderful?

It would probably be enough to send any man's Soul soaring to the heavens.

His thoughts drifted, and his heart involuntarily stirred.

Noticing his state, Lin Yuan couldn't help but curse inwardly: “Damn it? What's going on? I've been living with Master's Wife and the others for two months recently, so why do I still have such desires?”

One must know that before coming into contact with Gu Shuqin in this life, he had never touched an opposite sex and had almost no thoughts about matters between men and women.

It wasn't to the point where he couldn't control himself just by seeing a beautiful woman.

Moreover, that Zhao Senior Sister was so unruly and unreasonable; he had no good feelings for her whatsoever, so how could he possibly desire her?

“Xiao Yuan, are you thinking about those two women just now?”

Sensing the young man's emotional fluctuations, Ao Ling霜 transmitted her voice and asked.

“Um… I don't know why I'm like this…”

Having his vulgar thoughts seen through by Sister Shuang, Lin Yuan suddenly felt deeply ashamed.

“The love of beauty is common to all; it's normal for you to have such thoughts.”

“That may be true, but my resolve shouldn't be this poor, should it?”

“It is indeed a bit abnormal. Let me guess, could it be due to that dual Cultivation Technique?”

The Dragon girl's words were like a sudden enlightenment, quickly awakening Lin Yuan, who blurted out, “That's right! Ever since I began to Cultivate this Cultivation Technique, my carnal desires seem to have magnified many times over. When I'm alone, I can calm my mind, but if there's a woman nearby, especially a beautiful one, I can't help but let my thoughts run wild, unconsciously wanting to possess the other party.”

Ao Ling霜 mused, “This must be the backlash of the Cultivation Technique. After all, even Heaven-Grade Cultivation Techniques are far from achieving the Cultivation effects of your Yin Yang Divine Skill. While gaining benefits, one must inevitably pay a price, so it's only natural that you would be troubled by carnal desires.”

Lin Yuan said helplessly, “Then what should I do? I can't just keep being so lustful, can I? This will definitely affect my Cultivation.”

“Don't you rely on dual Cultivation for your Cultivation? It won't have much of an impact, will it? Besides, what's wrong with being lustful? You're a vigorous young man; it would be abnormal if you weren't lustful.”

“It's normal, but it can't be too much.”

“Then you can give up the Yin Yang Divine Skill and switch to other Cultivation Techniques, and you won't be troubled by it.”

Give up the Yin Yang Divine Skill?

Hearing this, Lin Yuan immediately shook his head: “No, almost all of my current achievements depend on this Divine Skill. If I give it up, how can I become stronger sooner?”

“Since you understand this principle, just let nature take its course.”

“Let nature take its course?”

“Mm, liking women is a man's nature; you can't change it. Since you can't suppress it, then release it. Take down those two young girls fiercely, use their essence to help you become stronger, and also resolve your carnal desires. It's truly killing two birds with one stone.”

“This… let's talk about it later. I already have Master's Wife and the others; I don't want more women for now.”

As Lin Yuan spoke, he suddenly thought of something: “By the way, Sister Shuang, I heard there's a secret Spell that can temporarily clear distracting thoughts. Perhaps that could help me.”

“There is indeed such a Spell; I think it's called the Mind-Clearing Skill. You can go inquire about it.”

“Mm, then I'll first bring Master's Wife and the others into the Inner Sect, and then go search for this thing.”

Having made up his mind, Lin Yuan left Cloud Sovereign Peak and returned towards the Outer Sect Disciple residential area.
