Leaving the gate, Bai Xiang instantly left to visit Miss Amanda; he did not trust those pale, creepy women one bit. If possible, he wanted to leave instantly and get as far as possible from them.
He was simply in the same realm as the weaker of the two and judging by the fact that he only had one skill, one to run away, it was obvious that frontal confrontation was the last option.
Unfortunately, when he arrived at Aqua Vitae, a small group was inside, so he decided to wait outside in the square until they left.
Fortunately, they were only inside for a few minutes, and he was able to enter.
The moment he entered the elegant store, he instantly felt more safe, especially when he saw the blonde elf looking at him with a small smile.
It would be ideal to stay and work as a sales representative here, but he knew that was impossible.
Walking up the counter, he respectfully spoke, his head slightly bowed.
"I would like your advice on something, Miss Amanda."
"And what happened to get you so rattled?"
After telling her what happened, the professionally dressed elf began laughing lightly, finding it amusing that this little human was in such a situation.
"So a woman with some rank in the Flower Maiden Sect is forcing you to join their entourage and is offering membership to their sect to you? You aren't a maiden or a flower, so they must see something in you that has value, at it certainly isn't your appearance. What do you think they want?"
Feeling somewhat hurt by her remarks, he tried to think.
"My cultivation has risen rapidly, but they wouldn't know my core was ruined previously, so it must be related to my soul or something I can't see."
Giving him a thumbs up, she explained more.
"If that woman was significantly stronger than you, she would be at least in the second half of the Soul Stabilizing realm; that would be enough to notice that your soul is noticeably larger than average. Since your realm is also very stable because of whatever strange technique you are using, they most likely view you as a good person to bring in as a stud or male instructor."
Hearing this, Bai Xiang was dumbfounded. He had lied to his parents, pretending he was a gigolo, and now, someone actually wanted him to do such duties.
Taking a short break to gauge his reaction, she continued.
"You could say that the Flower Maiden Sect has a large advantage in turns of recruitment; almost all female cultivators want to go there, and most males would die to join. With that in mind, they can recruit the smartest and most skilled men and women. The most stable method of finding good disciples, however, is legacy disciples; they want people born within the sect who will have better nurturing and more firm loyalty. For this reason, many other sects will accept less skilled female disciples, and the Flower Maiden Sect admits some men; they rely heavily on people born into the sect for more delicate and secretive tasks.
In this world, there are a noticeable number more men who cultivate to higher levels than women for a variety of reasons, despite the fact that the main female prevalent sect has the most talented individuals. Those women need partners, and those children need some male influence growing up. It is almost a sure thing that is what they are interested in you for, someone who has a chance to achieve high cultivation and give them many strong children.
Off-handedly, I have heard some things about that sect; it shouldn't be too bad if you go there; as long as you act within the rules, they won't do anything bad to you, of course, assuming you don't make enemies with the wrong people."
Hearing her explanation, he suddenly thought about the way that woman had looked at him; it somewhat resembled how people would look at a prized racehorse in his previous life.
She looked at him like he was a large sum of money!
"Can I just leave and join another sect? I'd prefer not to do that."
Hearing his question, she shook her head.
"From what you said, it already seems like that woman has no plans to let you go, and you have no reason for her to change that. You can hide here until closing time at night, but that won't help you in any way; they can wait outside and take you then. What is the big deal anyway? Isn't it many young men's dream to live that kind of stud life? Indulging in carnal pleasures daily and not having to do much work to live a comfortable life sounds pretty good."
When he heard her question, he looked at her somewhat dubiously.
"Miss Amanda, if that is the life you want to live, why are you working in this shop all the way in this low-level world? I am sure there are many amazing places you have the strength to go where there are many people who would line up to be your partners."
"Elves are different than humans; we do not go around lusting after the flesh in such vulgar manners; we leave that to you guys. Also, for your information, I actually have the strongest cultivation in this world and am considered outstanding among my peers in Aqua Vitae; if I hadn't made a few mistakes, I would be in one of the premiere locations in one of the heavenly realms and once I serve out my punishment that is where I will be going."
Hearing this, Bai Xiang felt somewhat thankful; his system had said that this elf was ridiculously strong; if that was the lowest tier of employees, it would be ridiculous.
Realizing she had over-shared, she suddenly started shooing him away.
"Now go play in a field of flowers; continuing your bloodline is a supreme joy to any race, so enjoy the satisfaction of being a father to who knows how many children, hahaha."
Leaving the store in a somewhat somber mood he looked up into the bright blue sky and sighed wistfully.
This was going to be a big problem.
