Could it be that I am the cruel villain?

Chapter 298: Chapter 199 I Am Wholeheartedly Devoted to My Senior Sister

"Master...Senior Sister, I didn’t do it on purpose, I have no such thoughts for the time being, it’s exactly the age I should be dedicating myself to cultivation, and, when my realm improves in the future, then, then..."

His mouth trembled a few times, struggling to finish his words.

What does two hundred fifty-one families mean?

In his past life, the most he did was run three rounds a day, and with home visits during New Year’s, it tallied up to nearly fourteen, and now you’re telling me there are over two hundred fifty?

Yes, Jiang Feng noticed a detail, it’s family, not individual.

Put simply, a large family could have members ranging from a few hundred to a thousand, and a surname this big couldn’t possibly have just one daughter.

For such a grand cultivation family, it’s normal to have a dozen or even dozens of offsprings. He could perfectly imagine a scene where family elders one by one call the unmarried women at home to meet with him or let him stay alone with them.

Cold sweat broke out all over his body, perhaps I should just take refuge in the Vajra Temple instead?

"Cultivation itself involves seizing the yin and yang, and stealing the forces of creation. You have been in Purple Cloud Palace for more than a year, you should understand that although there are countless opportunities here, not everyone can encounter them."

"Most people lead mediocre lives, lacking the courage and strength to compete with fellow apprentices, thus relying on the minimal monthly stipend, barely scraping by, waiting for the time to leave the mountainside, relying on the title of Purple Cloud Palace to climb up the social ladder by marrying into a higher status."

"Although it doesn’t sound very honorable, this isn’t a bad method either. First establish fame, then the benefits will follow. With your realm, if you marry into a wealthy and influential family..."

Looking at Jiang Feng, whose hands were trembling as he continued massaging his own feet, Liu Tangxi examined him up and down. Speaking of which, although this junior brother of hers was a bit too outspoken, his character was still passable.

His appearance was passable too, most importantly, his service skills were good.

She was referring to manual tasks like serving tea, massaging shoulders, beating legs, and cooking.

"With your appearance and status, marrying a royal princess would be easy for you, and carrying the name of Swordmaster Peak, even a princess from a small state marrying you would be marrying above her station. Among those who came to me, there are seven or eight families from the Imperial or Royal Family."

"You are eloquent, and even though you might not be very capable, I haven’t seen many who can charm young ladies better than you. If you could become a prince consort, you could definitely bewitch those little princesses to the point of losing their minds."

"If they used the power of their whole nation to support you as a true disciple of a Sword Immortal, countless spirit stones, Spiritual Medicine, Elixirs would be sent to you, and any Magic Treasure or Divine Weapon you desire could be commissioned for you by master craftsmen..."

Gurgling~

It must be said that Liu Tangxi’s words were very tempting, even someone with a heart like Jiang Feng’s couldn’t help but be moved upon hearing them.

He regretted not in his previous life was not that he slacked off in school ending up only in a common university, nor missing out on an innocent first love during high school, but...

When he rejected an attractive, wealthy woman who was only five years his senior and wanted to support him!

Thinking back, Jiang Feng felt annoyed with himself; back then, youthful and energetic, stepping towards the society, he believed he could change his fate and reach the pinnacle of life, but instead...

He ended up in debt at the company for over a decade.

Whenever Jiang Feng remembered this event afterward, he would hide under the blanket thumping his chest and stomping his feet, especially since that wealthy woman although a few years older maintained herself excellently, showing no traces of age, and with no peculiar habits, was gentle and generous, and didn’t indulge in bizarre things like steel wool!

Now, the chance to start over was presented right in front of him.

Before Jiang Feng could speak, Liu Tangxi lazily continued to lure him further.

"King Liang’s youngest daughter is in her twenty-eighth year, a model of elegance and grace, held in high regard even throughout the entire Imperial City. I met her recently, and her talents are excellent, inherently embracing the Five Thunders, truly a born cultivator’s furnace."

"If you could take her into your harem and choose a date to marry, with the Five Thunders Body combined with the support of the entire Daliang, you would likely breach the Nascent Soul Realm within three years."

He twitched at his eyelid.

Especially after hearing the phrase "inherently embracing the Five Thunders," he blurted out a curse.

He took a deep breath.

For any cultivator, Liu Tangxi’s words were sufficient to completely overpower one’s principles, no matter what ethical lines one had, faced with such absolute temptation, anyone would likely hesitate.

After two years of cultivation, he was no longer the naïve novice focused solely on training and fighting, at least he had a certain understanding of Five Elements Taoism and the Five Thunders Body.

Being endowed with Five Thunders, just this phrase alone was enough to take one’s breath away.

It denotes the five types of Thunder: Heavenly, Earth, Water, Divine, and Demon Thunder, put simply, such a naturally born Thunder Body could only come from the royal family, no other place could produce such a miraculous being.

Heavenly Thunder nurtures allthings, protects from disasters, captures heavenly demons, slays heavenly monsters, scours epidemics, saves living beings, and heals illnesses.

Earth Thunder nourishes crops, sweeps insects and pests, breaks fallings rocks, clears miasmas, guides wronged spirits, prays for clear weather.

Water Thunder, also known as Dragon Thunder, summons thunderstorms, rescues drought areas, eliminates giant serpents, eradicates poisonous snakes, fosters atmospheric phenomena, manages aquatic affairs.

Divine Thunder governs warfare, revered spirits of improper rituals are all slain by it.

And the last type of thunder is Demon Thunder.

Also known as evil-slaying thunder, this one too governs warfare, but the former slays malevolent deities, the latter slays spirits of ancient artifacts, subdues original atmospheres, destroys sacrificial platforms; command from Demon Thunder exists in every district, formed by the collected righteous energy of loyal and brave individuals of the country.

Do you think they sought out Liu Tangxi, using so many connections, just to introduce a princess to her junior brother?
