Thinking of this, not a trace of resistance actually rose in Shui Qianrou's heart.
'He really is a damned man who stirs up people's hearts…'
With that thought, a faint trace of grievance and resentment quietly welled up within her.
Su Lingyuan and the others were also rather astonished by the exceptionally high favorability value Shui Qianrou had.
But after thinking about it more carefully, they soon understood.
It was most likely because of what Shui Qianrou had done that day on Shuiyue Peak that Chu Ge had been left with such a good impression of her.
At this moment, Dantai Jinglian's message appeared once more.
[Dantai Jinglian: As for how you choose to build a good relationship with Nephew Chu—whether by letting feelings grow naturally over time, like gentle rain that moistens things in silence, or by using a heavy dose and taking a shortcut—as long as it does not bring him any harm, all of it is for you to decide.]
[Dantai Jinglian: In any case, once you possess this diary, your future will become limitless.]
[Dantai Jinglian: And as for you two nieces, you can just call us Martial Aunts—no need to be so restrained. Since you now possess the Diary Replica and have joined this group chat, perhaps in the future we may even become one family…]
That final sentence from Dantai Jinglian was full of implications, making Luo Huangjun frown deeply as she read it.
But there was nothing she could do about it.
First, her senior sister had always been like this—her personality was rather malicious, and she enjoyed stirring up trouble and watching the fun. She had been this way for many years. And as her cultivation had grown higher and higher, with fewer and fewer people or matters she needed to be wary of, she only became more willful in her actions. If Luo Huangjun could have restrained her, she would have done so long ago.
Second, Luo Huangjun herself was not the kind of domineering person who exercised absolute control.
In name, she was Chu Ge's master, but she would not interfere in the relationships around him.
If someone truly threw herself into Chu Ge's arms and she forcibly blocked it, leaving aside whether she would even succeed, it might instead cause a rift to form between Chu Ge and herself.
That was not something she wanted to see.
Besides, if Chu Ge himself was willing to accept those women who actively offered themselves to him—
then it would be a matter of mutual consent, and there would be even less reason to stop it.
What the other Diary Replica holders were thinking, Luo Huangjun neither knew nor could she change.
What she could do was merely guard against those with sinister intentions who might even seek to harm Chu Ge.
Approaching Chu Ge purely for benefits—although somewhat utilitarian in motive—was not, strictly speaking, all that improper.
After all, wanting to improve oneself was not wrong.
Moreover, in this cultivation world, there was no shortage of cultivators who casually coupled with others just to advance their cultivation, treating their own bodies as cultivation resources.
To be frank, in the face of such a heaven-defying opportunity, paying only this small a price was practically the same as picking it up for free.
These Diary Replica holders were the ones truly gaining the advantage.
It was foreseeable that, in the future, for the sake of the opportunities brought by this Diary Replica, there would be no small number of people willing to offer themselves willingly.
With opportunities and fortunes laid bare before one's eyes, people would go all-in with their bodies—no, that wasn't even entirely accurate to say.
Because aside from the benefits that could be obtained from the Diary Replica,
Chu Ge himself was already a young prodigy capable of stirring the hearts of countless women.
Whether in appearance or in talent, he was someone far beyond the reach of ordinary people.
To become the woman of such a peerless genius was hardly a loss at all.
One could both "sample" such a youthful prodigy and obtain opportunities from the Diary Replica at the same time.
Such a case of eating and taking both…
When Luo Huangjun thought of this, she even felt that the advantage being taken was perhaps a little too great—far too excessive.
Yet, even though she had thought everything through and foreseen the scenes that might one day unfold around Chu Ge,
for Luo Huangjun in her current state—who had already developed feelings for that very "rebellious disciple" of hers—it was still inevitable that a trace of discomfort would rise in her heart.
As for the Lu sisters, Dantai Jinglian's words had also greatly eased the nervousness in their hearts.
Aside from their master Shui Qianrou, everyone else in this group was a stranger to them.
And their statuses were all far higher than theirs.
They had truly been afraid that if they said something wrong, they might offend these powerful figures.
Thus, they had chosen to speak little and observe more, acting as little transparencies in the group.
Now, with Dantai Jinglian's reassurance, they no longer needed to be so restrained.
From now on, in this group chat, they could finally be a bit more bold.
