Chapter 6: My Dear Nephew, You Can't Handle This Woman

The next day, Zhou Sui sent out wedding invitations to his surrounding neighbors.

After all, he had known some of these neighbors for ten or twenty years; although they weren't particularly close, they were acquaintances nonetheless, so it was appropriate to invite them to the wedding banquet.

These neighbors had also known Zhou Sui for over a decade, and out of consideration for their past relationship, they all came to attend the wedding.

Even Liu Dong, a former friend of his parents, was invited.

Regardless of anything else, he hadn't yet had a falling out with Liu Dong, and he naturally wouldn't forget this old friend of his parents.

Of course, the most important thing was that Zhou Sui wanted to use this event to kill the chicken to scare the monkey, letting Liu Dong know that he now had the backing of a Qi Refining Ninth Layer Cultivator and was not to be trifled with, so he should quickly abandon his wicked ideas.

"My dear nephew, what on earth is going on? How could you find a Dao Companion so quickly? And a female Cultivator at the Qi Refining Ninth Layer at that?" Upon hearing this news, Liu Dong was instantly stunned; it was like a bolt from the blue.

No matter how he thought about it, he couldn't imagine that his dear nephew had actually found a beautiful female Cultivator at the Qi Refining Ninth Layer; it was simply a fantasy.

Normally, a female Cultivator at the Qi Refining Ninth Layer would never take a fancy to a small Cultivator at the Qi Refining First Layer; the gap between the two was simply too vast, so vast it was almost immeasurable.

When he first heard the news, he thought it was a joke.

"Uncle Liu, this is all fate. She came to my house to rent a room the day before yesterday, and I never expected that we would fall in love at first sight and be destined for each other for three lifetimes, so we decided to become Dao Companions. The mysteries of the world are truly unfathomable."

Zhou Sui said with great emotion.

"My dear nephew, you must think thrice."

Liu Dong earnestly tried to dissuade him: "This female Cultivator has been able to reach the Qi Refining Ninth Layer, so she is likely older than your parents. This woman is clearly an old cow grazing on tender grass.

You are a young man with a bright future ahead of you; how could you fall into the hands of such an old woman? You simply cannot handle such an old woman; she is not someone a young man like you can control.

Besides, you have only just met, yet this woman wants to marry you immediately. Her actions are far too fast; she must have ulterior motives. Be careful of inviting a wolf into your house."

He was burning with anxiety.

After all, if he really let Zhou Sui marry this female Cultivator, he would have no chance left. Facing the threat of a Qi Refining Ninth Layer Cultivator, he had no hope of winning.

He never imagined in his wildest dreams that things would develop to this point.

There was no doubt that this woman hadn't taken a fancy to this greenhorn, but like him, she had her eyes on this house. This woman was harboring malicious intentions.

Damn "love at first sight"—she probably fell in love with the house at first sight.

"Uncle Liu is overthinking it. I am just a small Cultivator with nothing; how could she possibly harbor malicious intentions toward me?"

"I know your concerns, but we are in love, a love that the sun and moon can witness and heaven and earth can verify. You don't need to say anything more."

"If you are willing, Uncle Liu, you may stay for a drink. If you are not, then please excuse me for not seeing you out."

Zhou Sui put on an appearance of being completely infatuated and bewitched by lust.

"You!"

Hearing this, Liu Dong was so angry his lungs were about to explode. It was truly like a dog biting Lü Dongbin—not recognizing a good heart. He had tried to persuade him with such earnest words, yet he was still so unappreciative.

But he had no other choice; he was not Zhou Sui's father and had no legitimate reason to oppose this marriage.

He had no choice but to leave the wedding banquet, preferring not to see it.

"Heh heh, Fellow Daoist Liu, it seems your scheme has completely fallen through. Who could have guessed that a beautiful female Cultivator would suddenly appear?"

"I told you to act sooner, but you kept hesitating. Now, hasn't someone else snatched the peach?"

A middle-aged man appeared near Liu Dong. The two were friends who were thick as thieves, so he naturally knew of Liu Dong's predicament and immediately began to mock him.

"Idiot, that brat is a complete idiot."

Liu Dong was so angry he was half-dead, completely exasperated, and began to curse: "That foolish brat doesn't even stop to think: why would a beautiful Qi Refining Ninth Layer female Cultivator take a fancy to him? He actually thinks he has infinite charm and talks about being in love—it's laughable. That woman is clearly just after that expensive house.

Despite my repeated warnings, that brat remains unmoved, looking like he's been blinded by greed. That brat will die on that woman's belly sooner or later."

He was now regretting it so much his guts were turning green. If he had known a woman would intercept the prize halfway, he would have made a move on Zhou Sui long ago.

Unfortunately, it was too late to say anything now.

With that female Cultivator watching, he couldn't make any moves at all.

"That woman is ruthless, too. Despite being beautiful as a flower and having extraordinary cultivation, she is willing to play the submissive role and marry that greenhorn. Her schemes run deep."

The middle-aged man remarked.

To be honest, he had seen the bride; she was fair-skinned, beautiful, and had long legs—definitely a top-tier beauty.

If she came from a sect, she might even be some kind of fairy or saintess.

But now, she was actually willing to give herself to a greenhorn; it was truly unbelievable.

Even though he knew the woman had ulterior motives and was after the boy's house, he was still extremely jealous. Such a beautiful woman had actually been obtained by Zhou Sui; it was simply against the laws of heaven.

This heaven is truly unfair. Can one really win the favor of a female Cultivator just by having a house?!

"Heh, the reason that woman has such cultivation is probably because she has done this countless times. She likely relies on her beauty to harm male Cultivators one by one, thereby obtaining their wealth."

"There are far too many Black Widows like that."

"In order to earn a few cultivation resources, those Black Widows will stop at nothing and are utterly ruthless."

Liu Dong was also very wary of Ji Bingyu.

As a Loose Cultivator, he had seen similar women before.

These women were all ruthless and very skilled at using their beauty and figures to obtain resources. He didn't know how many male Cultivators had fallen into their hands.

It was precisely because he had seen too many such things that he had long been immune to beauty. Unless it was the Great Dao of longevity, no woman could shake his Dao Heart.

"Tsk tsk, in that case, your dear nephew is doomed. He will be drained to death sooner or later. What will you do next?"

The middle-aged man clicked his tongue and said.

"I can only give up. After all, the other party is a Qi Refining Ninth Layer Cultivator; I can't afford to provoke her."

Liu Dong was helpless.

Don't look at the fact that he was at the Qi Refining Seventh Layer, only two small realms away from the Ninth Layer; in reality, the difference was like heaven and earth. The other party could beat a dozen of him alone; the gap in strength was simply too vast.

If they met in the wild, she could finish him off in a single exchange.

"You're actually willing to give up?"

The middle-aged man was a bit surprised.

"Heh, he who hesitates is lost; the reason I have survived for so long and cultivated to this realm with a Seventh Grade Spiritual Root is precisely because I put the word 'caution' above all else. There is absolutely no need to clash head-on with such a Great Cultivator; I shall simply look for other opportunities."

Liu Dong felt helpless.

He was merely a person who bullied the weak and feared the strong; when faced with a more powerful Cultivator, he instinctively played the coward.
