Whether one lives or dies for their school doesn't matter. But because someone at home ate too much dog food, feeling the stirrings of spring in her heart, she still has to make plans to get her master to marry her.
...That stinky master, she must find a way to make him her husband.
And before planning to get her master, there were some things Li Shiyin needed to confirm.
First and foremost, she had to make clear her own feelings.
She had to think it through clearly whether she really liked her master, whether she couldn't live without her master in this life, whether she couldn't go on without her master.
Regarding this question, Li Shiyin took three seconds to confirm and got a positive answer—without her master she would die... A world without her master is an imperfect world... Cultivating not to become an immortal, but only to meet her master in the mortal world...
Having confirmed her own feelings, next she had to confirm her master's feelings.
Although Li Shiyin roughly knew her master liked her, but he was her master after all. She knew her master's heart, liver, spleen and lungs were all dark. Who could guarantee that her master's fondness for her wasn't just an act, a means to an end?
But for Li Shiyin, trying to figure out what this villain of a master was thinking was just too difficult.
She thought it over herself for a long time but just couldn't come up with anything. So she decided to go to the back mountains and ask Tushan Youyou. Leave specialized tasks to the experts. Tushan Youyou was a fox spirit, specialized in seducing men. For this kind of thing, seeking her help certainly wouldn't go wrong.
"How to confirm whether a man likes you or not?" Hearing Li Shiyin ask this, Tushan Youyou's attention drifted from the magic array model on her desk. She looked at Li Shiyin strangely and said, "What is it? Is there someone else in the Dao Sword Sect who dares to feel something for you?"
In Tushan Youyou's opinion, the feelings between this master and disciple were unambiguous. They pushed and pulled openly without hiding anything. There definitely wouldn't be any issues.
The one Li Shiyin wanted to confirm certainly wasn't Qin Ran.
And currently in the Dao Sword Sect, not only her, anyone who knew this master and disciple could see their relationship clearly. No one would make a fool of themselves coming to pursue Li Shiyin. As for those who didn't know this master and disciple and dared to develop feelings and pursue Li Shiyin—that could be summed up with the word "dare".
"Oh no, it's not..." Li Shiyin denied Tushan Youyou's conjecture. She wanted to explain but felt too embarrassed. Seeing Li Shiyin's reaction, Tushan Youyou turned around and sat properly, carefully appraising her. Only then did she slowly realize: spring had arrived—the maiden was feeling the first stirrings of love.
"Oh..." She immediately broke into a smile, an "I understand" smile of an expert driver. She continued, "To determine if a man likes you and confirm a man's feelings, outwardly there are many ways, but inwardly, the crux is actually only one."
Indeed an expert! She hadn't sought the wrong person.
Li Shiyin's eyes lit up and she asked repeatedly, "What is it?"
"A man's feelings, look at whether he's interested in you or not." Tushan Youyou didn't keep her hanging. She smiled, a very foxy smile, and said meaningfully, "A person's heart may lie, but the body often betrays honestly!"
Li Shiyin blinked. She didn't understand. What heart, what body, lying and honesty...
"How does the body betray honestly?" she asked again.
How to evaluate Li Shiyin seeking Tushan Youyou's guidance in love?
The answer is she probably sought the wrong person.
Indeed, Tushan Youyou was a fox spirit, best understanding human desires, most adept at seducing men.
But!
Tushan Youyou was a fox spirit! What she wanted was a man's body, his vital essence, cultivation base, soul, not his feelings.
All she cared about was a man's flesh, not his emotions.
And what did Li Shiyin want? She wanted her master's feelings. She wanted to know whether her master liked her back when she liked her master.
One was asking about romance while the other answered with lust.
If Li Shiyin was an outwardly and inwardly pure and flawless little white flower, then Tushan Youyou was a flower with colorful petals on the outside but a simple little yellow flower on the inside.
But complete yellowness should also represent purity.
"How does the body betray honestly?" Tushan Youyou smiled coquettishly and winked at Li Shiyin, saying, "A man's certain organ can expand to many times its normal size in special circumstances. No matter how righteous he sounds, down there reveals his true thoughts."
Hearing this, Li Shiyin pondered seriously. Soon, she understood what Tushan Youyou was referring to. One must know that with her spirit eyes, no subtle change could escape Li Shiyin's eyes during battles.
"The pupils! Right? No matter what nice things they say, when they're afraid, their pupils will dilate dramatically, changing size by times. It greatly impacts their vision during battles." She nodded, indicating she understood Tushan Youyou's meaning. "Master said the eyes are windows to the soul. Are you telling me I can determine his feelings for me through Master's eyes?"
Tushan Youyou was rendered entirely speechless. With Qin Ran's dead fish eyes, how could the innocent Li Shiyin see anything?
"It's the pen..." She was about to reveal the right answer but suddenly recalled something. Sizing up the innocent Li Shiyin again, seemingly pure as a blank sheet of paper, she hesitated and asked outright, "You... do you know how men and women give birth to babies?"
"I know!" Li Shiyin said confidently. "They get married! When a man and woman get married, the woman will get pregnant. My brother got married at the end of last year. My sister-in-law got pregnant and had a baby early this year. Then they can have children."
"I knew it!" Tushan Youyou was lost for words.
It should be noted that up till now, no one had taught Li Shiyin about sex education (she was supposed to marry out at sixteen or seventeen, which was when Yang Yanqi would teach her these things, but at this time she had run off to the Dao Sword Sect), and she also didn't have access to related books, videos etc. to help her learn and understand. So she didn't know anything about intimacy between men and women.
"Do you know about consummating the marriage?" Tushan Youyou wouldn't give up and asked again.
"Drink wine and sleep with the woman." This was all Li Shiyin had seen and heard.
"Do you know how to sleep with a woman?"
"Just sleep like that!" Li Shiyin looked at Tushan Youyou strangely. "What's there to say about sleeping?"
A true, world-renowned pure lotus flower!
Tushan Youyou could converse no further. She felt every word she was about to say would taint Li Shiyin while also exposing her own filth.
"I cannot teach you..." She said earnestly to Li Shiyin, "Go find Long Qiqi."
