Chapter 237: A man who is too easily obtained is not what a woman

Taohua Island, an extremely famous island in the Wuji Alliance Sea Area, has a diameter of thirty thousand li.

All kinds of peach blossoms are planted on this island.

The island is like spring all year round, with a pleasant temperature and delightful scenery.

Looking at it from afar, it is simply a peach-colored island.

Of course, the reason why Taohua Island is famous is naturally not because it is covered in peach blossoms.

It is because of Taohua Shangren, as well as the Taohua Palace located there.

The female Cultivators residing on Taohua Island are all tall with excellent figures, appearances, and temperaments.

Many male Cultivators drool over them, and it is hailed as the holy land of the Wuji Alliance.

Unfortunately, until now, no one has been able to marry a female Cultivator from Taohua Island.

Because Taohua Shangren does not allow it.

However, at this very moment, the entire Taohua Island is boiling over; the female Cultivators within are all incredibly excited, their beautiful eyes flickering as they constantly inquire for news.

It can be said that whether they were in secluded cultivation or cleaning, washing, and cooking, the female Cultivators all came out one after another.

Almost all the female Cultivators on the island are chatting about this matter.

The island is unprecedentedly lively.

"Have you heard? The Island Master has brought a man back."

"This is the first man to come onto the island in the three hundred years since Taohua Island was founded, besides the Island Master's father."

A female Cultivator said mysteriously, spreading the news everywhere.

There are many women on Taohua Island, so naturally, there is no end to the gossip.

Moreover, Taohua Shangren did not intend to hide the fact that she brought Zhou Sui back from anyone on the island.

As a result, this news naturally spread like a hurricane.

"Is it true or false? The Island Master actually brought a man back; this is a world-shaking event."

"Isn't it? The Island Master has never shown a kind face to men; to think she would treat a man with such special regard?"

"Could it be that a male master is about to appear on our Taohua Island?"

"To be honest, it is not impossible, and there is another very strange thing: that man seems to have been brought back by the Island Master using the Low-Grade Spirit Treasure, the Binding Immortal Rope."

"My god, since when does a peerless beauty like the Island Master need to use brute force? She actually tied a man up and brought him back."

"Exactly, exactly, this is too exaggerated. If the Island Master just said a word, who knows how many men would fall at her feet, who knows how many men would be infatuated; how could she possibly need to tie a man up and bring him back?"

"That may be true, but the men who like the Island Master are not necessarily liked by her, and the man the Island Master likes may not necessarily like her. Isn't that how love is in this world? Loving someone you cannot have is the common logic of the world."

"Is this what they mean by 'to each their own'? Even a peerless beauty like the Island Master cannot avoid being troubled by love."

"I didn't expect that the Island Master, at over five hundred years old, would only now be experiencing the first stirrings of love; this can be considered an iron tree blooming."

"What iron tree blooming? This is an old cow eating tender grass."

The many female Cultivators discussed it heatedly, all with wide eyes, gathered together, chattering away.

They felt very shocked by this matter.

Because Taohua Shangren is over five hundred years old to this day, a Nascent Soul Middle Stage Cultivator, yet she has had no scandals.

Many people suspected that Taohua Shangren only liked women and not men, having a penchant for the same sex.

So if this matter were to spread, it would definitely shock the entire Wuji Alliance.

No, even the entire Canglan Sea would be shocked by it.

After all, Taohua Shangren's reputation for beauty is enough to stir the Canglan Sea.

Cultivators from many Nascent Soul Sects are captivated by her.

But now, she has actually taken a fancy to an unknown man; it is truly inconceivable.

"To be honest, what does that man look like? Has anyone seen him?"

A female Cultivator asked with great curiosity.

This is also the point of curiosity for many female Cultivators; they do not know what kind of man could be favored by Taohua Shangren.

Unfortunately, without Taohua Shangren's orders, they have no way to get close to him.

"His eyebrows are like willow leaves, his body is like a jade tree, his face is as beautiful as jade, his eyes are bright and his teeth are white; he is like an immortal descended from the heavens."

"I have seen many handsome men, but compared to that man, he is simply unique."

"If the Island Master is the number one beauty in the Canglan Sea, then that man is definitely the number one handsome man."

"The two of them are simply a match made in heaven."

A maid sighed.

She felt that she was not a woman who judged people by their appearance, but after seeing that man, she still felt her heart stir; she simply could not control the feeling of falling in love.

At this moment, she finally understood what it meant to fall in love at first sight.

"But I heard that this man has several wives and concubines; he is not single."

"And the Island Master only met him twice before bringing him back to the island."

A female Cultivator said mysteriously.

"No way, is the Island Master that fierce? Directly snatching a married man?"

"This man has a Dao Companion, and the Island Master still wants to snatch him away?"

The many female Cultivators were dumbfounded.

They never expected to hear such explosive news; it was simply earth-shattering.

"I previously heard that some male Cultivators like married women; if it's not someone else's Dao Companion, they don't like them."

"For example, Ancestor Shangguan, Shangguan Xu is such a representative figure."

"I didn't expect the Island Master to have such a hobby too."

Another female Cultivator felt her worldview had been refreshed; it seemed her understanding of the Island Master was not yet profound enough.

"Hehe, isn't this a very normal thing? Why should men be allowed to do this, but we women cannot?"

"Well said, as long as it is something Island Master wants to do, it must be reasonable, and we support it unconditionally."

"To be favored by Island Master is simply that man's great honor; what is wrong with that?"

"Exactly, exactly, there are countless men outside who want to be kept by Island Master, but they don't even have the opportunity."

"Perhaps Island Master is just having a whim this time and just wants to play with a man."

"Being played with by Island Master is also that man's luck."

The many female Cultivators discussed it heatedly, all of them standing unanimously on the side of the Island Master, Taohua Shangren.

After all, the reason they were able to survive in the cruel Canglan Sea was entirely due to the protection of Taohua Shangren.

If not for the protection of Taohua Shangren, they would have long since become playthings for other Ancestors.

No matter what the Island Master wanted to do, they felt it was correct.

"Enough, enough, what are you gossiping about here?"

"Why haven't you hurried back to do your own work instead of staying here?"

"If you delay Island Master's affairs, none of you will be spared."

At this moment, a tall female Cultivator walked out; she was a Golden Core Real Person of Taohua Island and one of the four personal maids of Taohua Shangren, named Chuntao.

Taohua Island had four great stewards and four personal maids, whose status and strength were second only to Taohua Shangren.

They were Chuntao, Xiatao, Qiutao, and Dongtao.

Each one was a Golden Core Real Person, holding high positions and great power.

"Yes, Lady Chuntao."

Hearing this, the many female Cultivators stuck out their tongues playfully and dispersed quickly, no longer continuing to gossip.

…………

At this very moment, inside the main bedroom of Taohua Palace.

Zhou Sui was thrown on the ground, tied up tightly, and was almost unable to move.

Of course, this was only a clone.

Even if something really happened, it was not a big problem; he was very calm and composed.

"Senior Taohua, why exactly did you bring me to Taohua Island?"

Zhou Sui said with great helplessness.

"Very simple, you angered me."

"Inviting you time and time again, yet you actually dared to refuse me."

"Do you really think I have no temper?"

Taohua Shangren said with a straight face, as if it were a matter of course.

But inside, she was a little panicked, because she also did not know why she had brought this man back to Taohua Island.

Clearly, men were not allowed on this island.

Yet she had broken her own rules and chosen to bring this man back.

Even if this man's refusal made her very angry, she shouldn't have made such a choice.

However, she had indeed lost her composure a little just now.

Even now, she did not know what to do for the next step.

If she let this guy go, wouldn't her kidnapping him have been a wasted effort?

But letting this man stay on Taohua Island was also not okay.

After all, except for this guy, the island was full of women.

If this dog of a man acted unscrupulously here, wouldn't it cause problems for many female Cultivators?!

In short, she was in a bit of a dilemma now.

"Senior Taohua, then what should you do to calm your anger?"

Zhou Sui asked.

"Then you join my Taohua Island."

Taohua Shangren said straightforwardly.

"But I still have wives and concubines in the Three-Star Island Group."

Zhou Sui hesitated.

"It doesn't matter; joining my Taohua Island doesn't mean you must live on Taohua Island."

"As long as you become my subordinate, that is enough."

"You can return to the Three-Star Island Group at any time; you don't have to live on Taohua Island permanently."

Taohua Shangren also lowered her requirements; she didn't know why, but whenever she saw this man's face, her inner bottom line seemed to be constantly lowering.

"Since Senior Taohua has said so, I cannot be unappreciative."

"I agree to join Taohua Island."

Zhou Sui pretended to think for a moment, but still chose to accept Taohua Shangren's invitation.

After all, this was equivalent to obtaining the protection of a Nascent Soul Cultivator; the benefits were immeasurable, and only a fool would refuse.

Of course, he still had to put on an act on the surface.

A man still had to be reserved.

A man who is too easily obtained will not be cherished by a woman.

"Not bad."

Hearing this, Taohua Shangren smiled with her red lips, waved her hand, and immediately released the Binding Immortal Rope from Zhou Sui's body, which could be considered a temporary release of Zhou Sui.

"Since you have joined Taohua Island, from now on you are one of our own."

"This is the token of my Taohua Island. With it, you are a member of Taohua Island. In the future, you can enter and leave Taohua Island at will, and no one can stop you."

"Also, this is a Fourth-tier Ice Freezing Talisman. If fully activated, it is comparable to a strike from a Nascent Soul Cultivator, instantly freezing a thousand miles, and can serve as your trump card."

"This is a high-grade defensive Dharma Treasure, the Heavy Water Dharma Garment. Wearing it on your body can weaken the enemy's attack power, resist the power of techniques, and greatly enhance your defensive power."

"And these are ten bottles of Blood Lotus Pill, which are Third-tier Pills. They can quickly increase your Dharma Power in the Golden Core Realm and help your cultivation level rise to the Golden Core Middle Stage rapidly."

Taohua Shangren waved her hand and immediately took out a large pile of Treasures from her person, handing them to Zhou Sui.

What?!

Seeing such a scene, Zhou Sui was stunned. He never expected to receive so many benefits after joining Taohua Island; this was simply too exaggerated.

Because every item above was worth a fortune.

A Fourth-tier Talisman could be used to save one's life; even if one encountered a Nascent Soul Cultivator, it could block the opponent for a period of time. If one encountered a Golden Core Cultivator, it would be an instant kill, and no one would dare to provoke him.

And the high-grade defensive Dharma Treasure was even more priceless; one might not be able to buy it even with Spirit Stones.

Even a poorer Nascent Soul Cultivator might not necessarily possess a high-grade defensive Dharma Treasure.

Yet now, Taohua Shangren had taken them out casually and given them to Zhou Sui.

One could only say that the woman before him was definitely a super rich woman.

Even among many Nascent Soul Cultivators, she was an incredibly wealthy existence.

At this moment, Zhou Sui felt the long-lost sensation of being kept by someone.

To be honest, he originally did not want to agree, but the other party gave too much.

Even if he wanted to refuse, he had no way to do so.

"Senior Taohua, are the benefits of joining Taohua Island always this good?"

Zhou Sui couldn't help but ask.

"O-of course, every Cultivator who joins Taohua Island can receive this many rewards."

"If there is anything else you want, you can also put forward your own requests."

"As long as it is not excessive, it can be satisfied."

Taohua Shangren said with a bit of a guilty conscience.

Of course, it was impossible for every Cultivator who joined Taohua Island to have so many Treasures; having one-tenth of this would be considered quite good.

This was purely taken from her own private treasury.

She also didn't know why she wanted to be so good to this guy.

But she always unconsciously wanted to take out the Treasures on her person to give this man some benefits.

"If that is the case, I would like to obtain a Fourth-tier Array inheritance."

"I wonder if Taohua Island has such an inheritance?"

Zhou Sui was not polite either and stated his request straightforwardly.

After all, a Fourth-tier Array inheritance was simply too precious.

Even the Qingmu Sect, Xianxia Sect, and Pill Cauldron Sect did not have such an inheritance; only truly top-tier Nascent Soul forces could possibly possess such a precious inheritance.

Even at auctions, no one would auction such things.

There were simply no channels to obtain it.

But with the help of a Nascent Soul Cultivator like Taohua Shangren, it was different.

He wouldn't say it was easy to get, but it would certainly be much easier.

"A Fourth-tier Array inheritance? Of course, my Taohua Island has an Array inheritance."

"However, have you already reached the level of a Fourth-tier Array Master?"

Taohua Shangren asked curiously.

"Not yet reached the Fourth-tier for now, it is only at the Third-tier High-Grade level."

"But I think I will be able to become a Fourth-tier Array Master very soon."

Zhou Sui smiled slightly.

During this time just now, his Array Heart Gu had already followed Shangguan Xu into the headquarters of the Wuji Alliance and penetrated deep into Wuji Gong, and the Array Heart Gu had also begun to invade this Fourth-tier High-grade Array.

He believed that it would not take long for him to thoroughly comprehend the Fourth-tier Array.

By then, there would be no obstacles to him becoming a Fourth-tier Array Master.

"It seems my judgment is indeed good."

"To have actually recruited a future Fourth-tier Array Master."

Taohua Shangren's beautiful eyes flickered, and she was very excited inside.

Her decision was indeed correct.

It was not keeping a man; this was just a senior taking a little care of a junior.

Moreover, cultivating a Fourth-tier Array Master also had huge benefits for the Wuji Alliance.

Everything she did was for the future of the Wuji Alliance.

And not for finding a man.

Taohua Shangren immediately felt a bit at ease.

Next, Zhou Sui stayed on Taohua Island for a full week, obtained the Fourth-tier Array inheritance, took away a large amount of Treasures, and then began his return to the Three-Star Island Group.
