Rin, who felt a sudden spatial displacement, found himself falling into the arms of a woman with silver hair and piercing light-blue eyes. She wore a black blouse and white pants, her presence as imposing as her beauty.
"Luna?" he murmured, still processing the situation and recalling what those other women had said. 'Is she a yandere?'
"Yes, my dear ♥," she replied obsessively. Then, her tone turned cold. "I'm sorry for letting those bitches kidnap you. Those sluts!"
'Huh? She really is a yandere! But... why?'
Rin stood frozen, trying to comprehend why such a stunning woman was so fixated on him.
'Is it my charm? Well, I am pretty handsome... Maybe my physique? But she studies with me, so if it were just that, she would've already tried to sleep with me, right?'
After wracking his brain for an answer and finding none, Rin decided to ask Luna directly. Looking up, he met her clear blue eyes gazing down at him.
"Lun—" Before he could finish, a hand covered his mouth.
"Don't ask anything now. I'll answer everything later," she said gently.
"Okay." Though curious, Rin chose not to press for answers. Besides, she didn't seem to mean him any harm—at least for now.
'If I get close to another woman, will she pull something like that stabbing scene in the anime? Well, to be fair, that protagonist deserved it. He was trash... But honestly, maybe women like this aren't so bad. Damn these web novels! They've made me weird, giving me such peculiar tastes.'
Lost in thought, he hardly noticed Luna rising to her feet and carrying him like a helpless princess.
"Master," greeted a blonde woman with green eyes, dressed in a maid uniform. Her expression was neutral as she addressed Luna.
Luna paused, holding Rin tightly, and cast a cold look at the maid. "Yuuna, reinforce the mansion's defenses. I don't want those bitches kidnapping my beloved again."
Yuuna nodded but added, "Master, what if he wants to go himself? After all, it's a rare chance to have all the women of a sect for him."
Hearing this, Luna stomped her foot with such force that the floor shattered into pieces. "Yuuna, do you want to die? My beloved isn't that kind of man! And even if he were, wouldn't it be enough for me to destroy the entire sect and keep him all to myself?!"
The scene made Yuuna tremble. She quickly knelt and apologized. "I'm sorry for my earlier words." Yet inwardly, she muttered, 'I definitely need to resign. Now that this lunatic has Rin, this mansion is going to become a war zone. Better save up, spend some time in Paris, and then head to the Immortal Continent.'
Rin, finally snapping back to reality, was left bewildered by their interaction.
'She's incredible… Willing to annihilate an entire sect for me... Wait… Why does that feel normal? Shouldn't I be running for my life? But, for some reason, I don't feel like escaping. Honestly, I even want to visit the Dual Cultivation Sect just to provoke her… The only thing bothering me is how dominated I've been feeling lately. First that woman, Hannah, and now Luna… It's killing my pride.'
With these thoughts swirling in his mind, Rin made a decision.
'Celestial Dragon Physique, huh? I think it's time for me to start cultivating...'
Looking up again, Rin spoke bluntly, "Luna, teach me how to cultivate."
Luna's response was icy: "Why? So you can dual cultivate with those sluts?"
Feeling her piercing gaze, Rin stood firm. Without fear, he replied, "Luna, do you think I want to be a defenseless man? Someone incapable of protecting those he loves? As for the Dual Cultivation Sect, if it benefits me, of course I'll visit it."
At these words, Luna's eyes glinted with murderous intent, chilling the room. Internally, however, she thought, 'No… He's my beloved. I can't hurt him… But he's being so disobedient. What should I do with him?'
Noticing Luna seemed dazed, Rin refrained from saying more for the moment. Instead, he gently placed a hand on her cheek.
"Relax," he said calmly and firmly. "I'll always love you. As for those women, see them only as tools to help me grow stronger. Wouldn't it be better to have a powerful man as your husband? Besides, one of my greatest desires now is to explore the Earth, a place no cultivator has fully discovered. It might seem like an impossible dream, but I'll chase it to the end."
Rin spoke sincerely, expressing both his understanding of Luna and his own yearning for adventure. His curiosity about the New Earth was evident in every word.
Luna, however, only registered one phrase: 'He treated me as his wife… He loves me ♥♥♥??? He loves me???'
Caught up in her thoughts, Luna felt a strange discomfort. Realizing her pants were damp, she abruptly dropped Rin to the floor, flustered.
"Darling, we'll talk later!" she exclaimed, her face bright red as she hurried away.
Just as Rin was about to hit the ground, a maid caught him with ease. She held him steady and offered a small smile. "You're good! It's rare for someone to handle that lunatic."
But Rin, lost in thought, muttered, 'Why am I always caught up with these women? This is the third time now.'
"Yuuna, right?" he asked, snapping out of his reverie.
"How do you know?" she replied, surprised.
"I heard your conversation with Luna… badmouthing a pure man like me," he teased with a mischievous smile.
The grin made Yuuna frown. 'A pure man? For someone who just talked about using a sect as a tool, he's really… pure?'
"Yuuna, can you put me down? I need to stretch my legs," Rin requested.
"Of course," she replied without hesitation. Before setting him down, Yuuna waved her hand to restore the shattered floor and then gently placed him on his feet.
"Ah, nothing like relaxing the muscles," Rin remarked, stretching his body.
After finishing, he looked at Yuuna and said firmly, "Since Luna ran off without answering, you'll teach me how to cultivate. That's an order."
"Order?" Yuuna repeated, confused. 'This boy just met her and is already giving orders?'
"Yes. Unless you want your master to find out that you touched me and carried me. You know how crazy she is—imagine what she'd do to you." He smirked deviously.
'Demon… This guy has the audacity to call himself a pure man?!' Yuuna thought, exasperated. 'If he's pure, then he's pure evil.'
