Inside the cave.
"Umm..." Ye Suyin has woken up, an hour's rest was enough to get her back on her feet. Xia Tian and she dual cultivated with her for about three hours, remembering the memories from before her cheeks blushed heavily.
She looked around the place but finding no figure beside her she was left disappointed.
"Is he gone?" she thought.
After that, she glanced down at her own naked figure. Ye Suyin was troubled seeing herself but naked, her hands moved down towards her nether region, and after a while, she pulled her hand out, her middle finger was drenched in some kind of sticky liquid.
"Was it all real?" she muttered.
Previously, she thought everything was just a hallucination, but after confirming that she is not a maiden anymore, she is sure everything was real.
She sighed heavily and stood up, there were a pair of new blue clothes placed next to her. She was sure it was done by that man, but even after seeing it, there was no visible change in her mood. Since he has left a pair of clothes for her, it means he had gone.
"What were you expecting Suyin? Why would a strange man wait here for you." She thought and shook her head, after that she wore the clothes left by Xia Tian.
After remembering that man Ye Suyin can't help but frown. She did not even know his name... Not to mention, what about her engagement with the Long family?
The frown on her face got deeper, the Long family won't just kill her but also seek revenge on her Ye Family. In front of a behemoth, the Ye Family will be crushed without effort.
Although, her family belongs to the top four great families of the northern continent but the Long family was a separate league of its own.
This was something she wanted to warn Xia Tian about, but he gave her no time for her to speak.
After wearing the clothes, she sighed once again and dragged her steps out.
Ye Suyin wanted to take anger on Xia Tian, but she can't. He wasn't the one who was at fault here, she gave permission to him, Ye Suyin trusted her eyes of truth.
Though, her cultivation has shooted up to earth profound realm. She skipped a whole realm, which was an unimaginable feat for a cultivator. This was due to her thousand poison yin body, earlier it was in the dormant stage but due to Xia Tian, it is active now.
Her cultivation will skyrocket until she reaches the Earth Immortal realm, after that she has to find her own cultivation path.
Xia Tian who was waiting outside the cave for Ye Suyin had already decided on the fate of Luo Xue.
The last fairy will serve as his servant for her entire life, though if her looks do not match his standards he would send her to lust demons for a feast.
The little fairy was unaware that her fate has been decided without her consent.
The water curtain behind Xia Tian bent slightly, allowing a figure to pass through it. It was Ye Suyin's doing, she doesn't want to get wet again.
She got past the water curtain, her gaze fell onto the figure in front of her, and unconsciously she smiled.
"You are here? " she uttered, her voice slightly shaky due to surprise.
Xia Tian who was already aware of her footsteps turned around. "Why won't I be?" His words were enough to make Ye Suyin guilty, her eyes flashed, she sensed he was saying the truth, she was the one who doubted him.
She was feeling guilty about doubting Xia Tian.
No matter which woman it is, she will always remember a faint shadow of a person who took her first time, the same was applicable to Ye Suyin.
Their tolerable limit against their first man is always slightly high, the woman will tolerate it as long he doesn't do anything too excessive.
Though there was no official relationship between Ye Suyin, she had long considered Xia Tian to be her man, there are a few doubts which will be erased over time. The Long family would not accept her after she had given her virginity to another man, and she wonders what her father would do.
The connection between Ye Suyin and her parents isn't deep to the level of unconditional acceptance, but it is not on the level of strangers either.
Xia Tian had already approached Ye Suyin who was similarly looking at him, she was in an awkward situation about how to reply to him.
What should she even say?
"A person is waiting for you, let's go. We can have our talk later." Xia Tian said as he grabbed her small hands and pulled her along with him.
Ye Suyin was startled at the sudden touch, but after sighing once she allowed Xia Tian to pull herself.
Though, she was feeling grateful for Xia Tian changing the topic.
She moved her head, as his face fell into her eyes.
"Did he purposefully change the topic
for me?" she smiled and thought.
The woman was living in her own delusions.
[Master, Why don't you stay behind inside the cave and wait for Ye Suyin to wake up? No matter which woman it is, after sex, she should want to see the man next to her after waking up. It would help you to increase her affection.] The little fairy said, to which Xia Tian smiled mockingly.
Gain her affection? If gaining a woman's affection requires dog licking her, what difference would be between him and Xia Chen?
But he decided to educate the little fairy, after all as his servant she can't always behave like a fool.
"Little fairy, why don't you look at her face, does she look unhappy," he said in his mind, Luo Xue after hearing him glanced at Ye Suyin's face, she was smiling, but her eyes were unfocused as she walked next to Xia Tian without even thinking where is Xia Tian going to take her.
It was as if she would walk above fire if it was with him.
[How??] the changes in Ye Suyin were too high for Luo Xue to catch on to. As a woman herself, she could not understand, shouldn't she be disappointed not finding Xia Tian upon waking up?
Why was she happy?
If it was Luo Xue in her place, she would for sure be angry if the person left her alone after taking advantage of her body.
Luo Xue's thoughts weren't wrong, Ye Suyin was disappointed after not finding Xia Tian next to her after waking up.
So what changed her mood?
Xia Tian's next words cleared her confusion.
"Your words weren't wrong Little Fairy, Ye Suyin must have been sad after waking up, she had expectations that were not met, any person would be sad if their expectations are not met. A person is not sad when they fail, but only when their expectations are not met. I can be there and satisfy Ye Suyin's expectations to make her happy, but it would mean next time her expectations would be even high than the last time. So, I left, and waited outside, which led Ye Suyin to lower her expectations. When Ye Suyin got outside her expectations were at their lowest, so after seeing me she must be surprised and happy because this time I was there when she least expected it."
"After that, I asked her 'Why won't I be here?' which made her further guilty. It also proved she was not expecting me to be there."
"After these two incidents, from here on, she would try to make up to me, while if I had followed your words and stayed behind, my whole life I would be the one who would be satisfying her and meeting her unrealistic expectations. This is what most men do which led to them becoming a dog licker of beautiful women."
In his explanation, Luo Xue's mouth turned an 'O' shape. [Master is genius!!!] her gaze changed to admiration while looking at Xia Tian.
Xia Tian laughed inwardly at her words, genius? Of course, he is a genius! He liked this little fairy a bit more, only if she keeps praising him like this, he might award her.
What Xia Tian said was based on the simple principle that Humans tend to overthink while taking decisions that affect them in short term, while when they take decisions that affect them in long term they would not think at all, or if they did it would be only a slight level of contemplation.
Like Ye Suyin, for relieving short-term pain she decided to give Xia Tian her virginity, endangering her engagement with the Long family, and bringing a crisis to her own family.
These all were big decisions that would affect her in long term, which she took without much thinking.
If a stray dog is living in front of your house and you want to earn his goodwill, what will you do?
Normal people will feed him but Xia Tian won't. Because feeding him once means the next time they come back the dog will already be there wagging his tail for food. The dog has formed his expectations. And if you don't fulfill it the dog will be left disappointed, not only the dog, you will also be disappointed and guilty of not meeting his expectations... Because we are social beings, we seek acceptance from others.
Xia Tian will not feed the dog, but wait till winter arrives. He will wait till the dog is starving to death when his expectations are at lowest. And exactly at his moment of death Xia Tian would arrive with food to feed him, he would only feed the dog once, but that once will be enough to make the dog feel eternal debt towards Xia Tian.
Be careful while setting people's expectations.
When Xia Tian was educating the little fairy, Ye Suyin has something else on her mind.
"Ummm.... " she moved her lips awkwardly as if not knowing what to say, it was feeling odd to her to ask this after what they had already gone through.
In the end, she opened her lips and asked.
"Um, what is your name?"
"It's Tian, Xia Tian." Xia Tian who was enjoying this beauty suffering through a myriad of emotions answered.
"En" Ye Suyin nodded and spoke again. "You are a good person Tian."
"And why is that?" Xia Tian asked.
"Your heart is pure and not full of lies... Like others..." Ye Suyin spoke with a tone full of appreciation.
"And how do you know it?" the first one said making Ye Suyin confused, how did she know it?
After a moment of silence, she pointed at her eyes and spoke, "By this."
"Mm." Xia Tian nodded and stared into her eyes. Ye Suyin blushed slightly at his constant gaze, her steps slowed down allowing him to observe her eyes.
They looked beautiful, like a pair of shining dark gems.
However, Xia Tian has completely other thoughts after seeing her delicate eyes which can charm anyone.
"Should I press her eyes by my fingers... Will it burst like balloons filled with water? No, it should feel squishy instead." he thought.
Ye Suyin was feeling happy by Xia Tian's gaze completely unaware of his inner monologue. She had a lot to ask him but it can wait.
"Hey, little fairy want to learn something?" Xia Tian spoke in his mind.
[What?] Luo Xue's attitude has changed towards her master, she was feeling that her master is great.
Both women were admiring the same person, completely unaware, that he is the very root cause of their pains... One desires revenge for her kin while another would suffer and lose everything because of him in the future... All due to him.
"The art of planting seeds... "
Xia Tian answered the little fairy with a faint smile.
When he plays with the object he hates, it gives him supreme pleasure...
He doesn't need to play with women in bed, he can just play with their minds and then kill them... But it isn't fun.
He has kept his lust alive, as when those prideful and arrogant women will moan beneath him... He can feel it... He can feel their arrogance shattering...
What is all that useless pride for?
If in the end they are gonna moan beneath him...
