Chapter Seventy-Eight Reflections



"Yes, I just asked. Liu Fu was taking me to the study hall when we ran into a fairy who was demanding a debt from Liu Fu. The two were arguing when this fairy, Ms. Li, called me into her office..." Wang Yao quickly explained.

"What fairy? Stay away from women like that in the future." Caixia glared at Wang Yao. For some reason, seeing Wang Yao and Li Shishi being so intimate made her furious.

“Back in the mortal realm, I wasn’t exactly making a decent living… Take out the interface panel.” As Caixia spoke, she told Wang Yao to take out the interface panel, and she waved her hand to open the Immortal Realm interface for him.

"Not a good business? What does she do down there?" Upon hearing this, Wang Yao's gossip fire immediately ignited. This Li Shishi was quite alluring, yet she did that kind of thing? Although he asked aloud, he had already guessed pretty much the truth.

"What do you care what she does for a living? Just focus on your own business. Or are you planning to take things further with her?" Caixia's temper flared up the moment she heard Wang Yao's sleazy tone. She glared at him and snapped.

"Yes, yes, I'll only develop a relationship with you..." Wang Yao nodded repeatedly.

"What did you say?" Caixia asked fiercely, her eyebrows raised.

"Uh...no...nothing..." Wang Yao quickly shook his head.

"You've only been an immortal for a few days? You haven't even reached the Foundation Establishment stage yet, have you? Thinking about those things too early won't do you any good. Here, I just applied for 15 merit points for you. 5 points are for investigating the professor, and 10 points are for finding a match for the Lion Roar Beast. You've already found a match for the Lion Roar Beast, haven't you?"

As Caixia spoke, she tapped Wang Yao's forehead with one finger.

"Yeah, I just happened to find someone who looked really good to me, so I just picked them up," Wang Yao said.

“I’ve noticed that too. The Lion Roar Beast’s reactions have become more and more normal these past few days.” Caixia nodded, then looked at Wang Yao seriously. “I know you have a positive work attitude and high work efficiency. As an immortal, you are still in the initial stage. You should focus on improving as quickly as possible.”

“Immortals live long lives, so you’ll have plenty of opportunities to meet all sorts of beautiful fairies in the future. Now is not the time for you to have those kinds of thoughts. The higher you stand, the more choices you have. Do you understand?” Caixia couldn’t help but lecture Wang Yao.

"I don't need it to be too high, just high enough to reach you," Wang Yao said with a sly grin.

“I…” Caixia was speechless for a moment, and couldn’t help but wonder, were her requirements not high? How did Wang Yao come to this conclusion? She originally didn’t want to talk about emotional issues with Wang Yao, but after hearing what he said, she couldn’t help but speak up.

"If you're marrying a fairy, your cultivation level must be higher than hers, right? I'm at the Nascent Soul stage, and as far as I know, the lowest level for a fairy to marry in the Immortal Realm is Golden Core. You'd better work hard," Caixia said calmly.

"But...didn't you say you didn't think fairies should be half a head lower than male immortals?" Wang Yao asked, blinking. Cai Xia's meaning was crystal clear: she was at the Nascent Soul stage, meaning Wang Yao, not yet at the Void Refinement stage, had no hope of pursuing her.

Moreover, Caixia's cultivation conditions are exceptionally good. Perhaps by the time Wang Yao reaches the Refining Void Realm, she might have already reached the Integration Realm. In that case, wouldn't I have to reach the Great Ascension Realm first? If both of them reach the Great Ascension Realm... well... it seems like the Great Ascension Realm is the limit, right? What should I do then?

Once Caixia reaches the Mahayana stage of cultivation, according to her theory, wouldn't he have no chance at all? He was extremely anxious and quickly discussed it with Caixia.

"I... I was talking about work. As for starting a family, male immortals are too low-level, how could that be possible? Female immortals, in their family life, need to rely on each other... isn't that right?"

Caixia was taken aback by Wang Yao's question. Female immortals and male immortals having equal rights was something Caixia had been striving for in the Heavenly Court. Now, with Wang Yao asking her this, she couldn't help but feel a little bewildered. She had never really considered marriage or romantic relationships; she just said whatever came to mind.

She's already at the Nascent Soul stage, so her ideal partner has to be at least at the Void Refinement stage. How could she possibly date a Nascent Soul cultivator? Even if they were both at the Nascent Soul stage, she simply couldn't consider it.

"According to you, female immortals only have to be stronger than male immortals at work, but weaker than them in life, in order to marry them? Then... female immortals have no choice but to marry their bosses or superiors... Does that mean male immortals in Heaven only marry their female subordinates?"

Wang Yao was also taken aback by Caixia's words. He tried to repeat what Caixia had said, blinked a few times, and the last two sentences were rather bitter.

The key point is that he also agrees with Caixia's point of view from the bottom of his heart. It is indeed unreasonable for a grown man to marry a wife and be dominated by her in everything. However, he finds it difficult to explain to himself that he has to accept Caixia's theory.

After all, if he admits that Caixia is right, then he can no longer harbor any feelings for Caixia and can only focus on cultivating and advancing in his cultivation. When he surpasses Caixia in both realm and position, who knows when that will be? This would undoubtedly be a major blow to Wang Yao.

“Uh…” After listening to Wang Yao’s words, Cai Xia realized that apart from the last two sentences which seemed like sophistry, since a male immortal stronger than her might not necessarily be her superior, Wang Yao’s words were derived from her own, which made her realize the obvious loopholes in her own words.

To put it bluntly, Wang Yao is implying that he holds double standards in matters of the heart and also has some patriarchal ideas.

If Caixia were an ordinary fairy, she would have raised an eyebrow and declared, "I love double standards! I believe in male superiority! What can you do about it?" Wang Yao would have slunk away. But the key is that Caixia isn't that kind of fairy; she's an idealistic fairy who strives for independence.
