I Might Be A Fake Cultivator

“That’s right, I love animals, I’ve even got a cute pet monkey!” An Lin looked up towards the top of the bamboo shoots and shouted, “Xiao Chou, come here!”

There was a burst of rustling amongst the bamboo, immediately after which a little monkey fell from the sky and perched onto An Lin’s shoulder.

Its bulbous eyes, flat nose, imbalanced mouth, and various freckles combined in an adorably ugly package.

Xiao Chou displayed an ugly smile towards Tang Shiyuan before picking its nose in a vulgar display…

“Well done, Xiao Chou!” An Lin transmitted his voice to Xiao Chou in encouragement.

My unique hobbies and weird beauty standards would surely scare her away?

Looking at Tang Shiyuan’s widened eyes, An Lin felt like his plan was nearing success!

“For Mr. An to be able to coexist so happily with such an ugly monkey in this cultivating world, where looks are so important, this is truly a refreshing change.” Tang Shiyuan came to her senses as her eyes rippled with excitement.

She stared at An Lin with a light blush and whispered softly, “I had originally thought… that you were only attracted to my looks. But it seems that you aren’t a shallow person that would judge a book by its cover. So… just what about me has attracted you?”

An Lin was completely dumbfounded.

What the f*ck was going on with this romantic atmosphere! How could his weird fetishes be interpreted like this?

What about you am I attracted to? Can I say nothing?

No… she’d probably beat him to death!

An Lin shook his head and smiled. “I’m not sure of it myself. Perhaps it was only a split second of emotion, maybe these emotions will dull very quickly.”

That’s right, what a masterstroke! I’ve made it abundantly clear that my interest was only piqued for some unknown reason during that split second, it’s not really any genuine interest!

Tang Shiyuan lowered her head at his words and her eyelashes trembled lightly. She took a sip from her cup of tea but did not respond, seemingly deep in thought.

Just as An Lin thought he was about to succeed, Tang Shiyuan spoke again.

“A split second of emotion? What an apt description…

“Love is exactly like this sometimes, you’re not sure when these feelings began and you don’t know when they will end. Who would have thought Mr. An’s thoughts on this would be so congruent with mine.”

An Lin was dumbfounded once again. What is even going on here…

Were they really on the same wavelength? What the hell was that expression of approval on her face?!

“Mr. An, my master and his wife were Dao partners for six hundred long years, but they still split up in the end, do you know why?” Tang Shiyuan continued.

“Why, did one of them have an affair?” An Lin’s interest was piqued.

Tang Shiyuan shook her head. “No, it was because my master’s wife fell sick one day and used a voice transmission talisman to inform my master, who was quite far away at the time, of her condition. To this, my master replied and suggested that she drink some hot water. And then they split up.”

“Pfff…” An Lin spat out a mouthful of tea.

“My master’s wife said that my master’s heart had already changed. If it was in the past, he’d definitely come to her side at all costs and stay with her until she recovered. But now, he was simply dismissing her by telling her to drink water, there was no love left in in the relationship.

“That’s the power of time.

“Mortals often dream of a happy relationship spanning a hundred years, but for cultivators like us, Dao partners can remain together for far longer than a hundred years.

“Their love may have been genuine in the beginning, but that love would slowly change with the passage of time.”

Tang Shiyuan raised her head wistfully into the sky. “Just like the clouds in the sky, they once existed, but they would inevitably dissipate with time. Just like what you said, no one can guarantee how long these emotions will last, perhaps they’ll slowly fade away at some point…”

An Lin could not help but wince at her words. How did the conversation revert back to him, could it be the bullsh*t he spewed forth was actually unintentionally philosophical?

Tang Shiyuan’s thoughts seemed to be quite scattered and she was able to completely entertain herself with her thoughts alone. On top of that, she also did not seem to know how to shut up…

“Mr. An, I feel like you’re different from all the men I’ve met before. You’re straightforward, honest and you have love in your heart. You also have some very similar opinions to myself on relationships…” Tang Shiyuan grew brighter and brighter as she spoke.

Even An Lin with his thick skin could not help but blush slightly at her compliments.

So it turned out… that he had so many merits worthy of praise?

“So… Mr. An, I’ll allow it…” Tang Shiyuan tucked a few strands of wind-swept hair behind her ears before averting her gaze, seemingly a little anxious; even her voice had lowered to a soft whisper.

“Huh?” An Lin blinked in confusion.

Tang Shiyuan glared at him delicately. “What I’m saying is… I’ll allow you to pursue me!”

An Lin’s was dumbstruck yet again!

Holy f*ck, the situation was spiraling out of control, what could he do!?

“Ahem… Tang Shiyuan, the path of cultivation is a long one, how about we start off as friends and if we really do like one another, I’ll pursue you then.” An Lin could only back down as he laid out the truth for her.

To his surprise, not only did Tang Shiyuan not get angry, a bright smile as moving and vibrant as a rainbow appeared on her face instead. “Your shyness and introversion are actually traits that drew me in in the first place, so we’ll do as what you said.”

An Lin finally breathed a sigh of relief, it appeared that he dodged this bullet.

Thus, both of them made some conversation as friends and the atmosphere was still quite pleasant.

“Hmm, I have to receive my reward for the Inter-Sect Games from the Myriad Soldier Forest.” A thought suddenly occurred to Tang Shiyuan and she spoke excitedly, “I’m going to get an elementary rank spirit tool as well as an elementary rank protective spirit tool.”

“Huh, are you not only getting an elementary rank spirit tool and some spirit stones as prizes?” An Lin asked curiously.

Tang Shiyuan nodded. “That’s correct, but I currently have over thirty thousand spirit stones, combined with the forty thousand I received from the Inter-Sect Games, I can trade for an elementary rank protective spirit tool.”

An Lin blinked blankly. “Forty thousand spirit stone? Wasn’t it… supposed to be twenty thousand?”

“Oh, crap…” Tang Shiyuan covered her mouth with her hand and a light blush appeared on her cheeks. She knew she had slipped up.

An Lin stared at Tang Shiyuan in bewilderment.

Tang Shiyuan hesitated for a moment before finally confessing. “You look like a reliable person, so I’ll tell you a little secret. I’m not actually as weak as I appeared to be in the battle with Kuang Re… It’s only that someone offered me twenty thousand spirit stones and I had very little chance of winning anyway, so, you know…”

Twenty thousand spirit stones…

Did An Lin know these tricks?

Of course, he was far too familiar with them! He understood them so well that he wanted to cry!!!

An Lin was instantly shocked silent as his lips trembled, unsure of what to say.

Was he supposed to ask why she would be bought over by a mere twenty thousand spirit stones? Or was he supposed to lament at how his hundred thousand spirit stones… was beaten by twenty thousand spirit stones!!?

He did not know why but he suddenly recalled something Earth Immortal Ming Yuan had said to him once. “This… is all a part of fate!”

…

An Lin and Tang Shiyuan bade farewell to one another.

He returned to his living quarters and began to ponder about life.

Tang Shiyuan earned twenty thousand spirit stones, Kuang Re earned fifty thousand, he lost 350,000…

He suddenly really wanted to cry!!!
