Ji Bingyun has only one wife. The current world, women are not mistreated because of the cultivation powers, women can cultivate equally and hence they are not looked down upon based on their gender.
There is weak vs strong concept irrespective of gender. Those women who have no cultivation talent but beauty may go for being concubines and there are also male concubines. Male concubines are however rare. Being shy and delicate is part of feminine nature, they intend to be virtuous and hence usually male concubines are rare.
Chujiu got worried of getting bored in this world.
In her previous modern life, when she was on a mission of gathering information, she has to disguise and take a false identity of a new university student. There she stayed in a girls' dormitory for 6 months. There was a girl in the dormitory who is a fan of webnovels, due to her influence Chujiu also used to read webnovels when she is free. The mission was just gathering information and hence she was often free and read quite a few novels.
If for others, it takes 1 week to read a full novel, it hardly takes a day for Chujiu. So she read a lot of novels.
That was the only peaceful time in her life and it was also her only entertainment. So she was fascinated of drama, she thought though she is not a transmigrated (since its soul splitting, she originally belonged to this world) soul, she can still experience some drama after coming here.
Lin family is different and there is no drama here, now the world is like what she read in history genre novels.
"Grandfather, here doesn't women fight for men and why didn't men have concubines. Won't it be more interesting if they have several concubines and children who will fight among themselves for favour and kill each other etc?"
Grandfather Lin was stunned for a second, is he not seriously explaining the geography and conditions of the sects and powerhouses here?
He simply knocked on her head slightly and said, "What nonsense are you talking, you are a child and how can you talk like this?"
Only then did Chujiu remember that she is only 11 years here. Usually children below 15 are considered as children here unlike the historic novels where 15 is the age of marriage. And marriages happen after usually they turn 20 like in her modern life. Due to the fact that its a world of cultivation and people have longer life spans, most people actually marry after turning 40.
'All those novels seems to be nonsense, shouldn't people marry at the age of 15 in ancient times and give birth to children early? Should I also wait until I turn 40?'
Without giving much thought, Chujiu spouted what was on her mind.
"Grandfather why can't we get married at 15 and give birth to children. Why should we wait until we get middle aged, isn't it a waste of youth and emotions?"
After a few seconds of silence there came shouts and wails in grandfather Lin's courtyard. Chujiu was running for her life and Grandfather Lin is chasing her with a stick from god knows where he got it.
After some time there is no shadow of Chujiu in the Lin manor, she escaped from the back gate.
Though Grandfather Lin can catch her, he still let her go. After all he is not completely angered by her, she can never anger him no matter what she did.
But he needs to educate her, cultivation needs absolute focus and concentration. Discipline is paramount in cultivation. Though families engage their kids once they turn in to their teens, but that is only to strengthen their families and bonds between families.
Younger generation are not allowed to cross certain rules and regulations. So puppy love is uncommon here in this world.
Chujiu was scrolling around the streets badmouthing webnovel authors. She died young and for her entire life she was always surround by darkness and blood. She only experienced the colour of life for a few months during her stay in the university.
She used to envy those girls and boys who were carefree. She has a cold personality but yearned for friendship and companionship from within. But she hates getting close to others and she never trusted other people.
After coming here and when both parts of the soul are fused completely, her personality changed. She became much more lively. Missing soul means being incomplete, so its obvious that she experienced some personality and psychological issues.
But now its a different story, she is now complete and hence the change. She now have desire for life, she has goals and life seems to be colourful. Previously it was all black and white, now its different just like how it was portrayed in the novels and drama shows.
She also wants to fall in love like those in the university, but she is only 11 now and considered a child. It takes at least a decade to grow here. Her grandfather doesn't seem to want her to get married for at least 3 more decades. Doesn't all grandfathers push and scheme against their grandchildren to give them great grand children in those novels?
Why is it different here… how can she wait until that long, she is very much looking forward for marital bliss.
She even thought of her someone special, who must have already been born and is somewhere now. She even had some thoughts of how she is going ravage and dominate that special someone who is still unknown.
'You better turn up fast and don't take your sweet time. Or see how I will deal with you.'
Unknown to her, someone far away in a small courtyard surrounded by dense forest began sneezing uncontrollably. For the first time in his life, he felt someone is coveting something on him. But could not understand the feeling and cause. He also felt a chill down his spine.
He did not understand where this weird feeling came from and what it is exactly. So, he let it be and continued to cultivate.
