I Have No Qualifications, The System Asked Me To Marry A Wife To Practice
Chapter Thirty-Six: Shangguan Shurong
Chu Shen hosted a banquet to welcome Yu Sidao and Shangguan Shurong.
Neither of them refused.
Yu Sidao was already skilled in these kinds of social situations and had a pleasant conversation with Chu Shen.
Shangguan Shurong, on the other hand, seemed indifferent, as if she didn't care at all that the man in front of her would become her husband and do various things to her, even bear children.
This silent, expressionless, and indifferent demeanor made Chu Shen hesitate a bit, and he looked towards Yu Sidao.
Yu Sidao didn't hide anything and said, "The Red Dust Heart Refining Technique uses emotions from the mortal world as materials, which naturally causes some wear and tear on personal emotions. That's why disciples need to practice in the mortal world to comprehend the red dust, experience stronger emotions, and then understand humanity and approach the heavenly path."
"Junior Sister Shangguan didn't join the Red Dust Sect after growing up, but rather grew up within the sect. She naturally knows very little about human emotions. The Red Dust Heart Refining Technique is unexpectedly suitable for her, which exacerbates the issue with her emotions. Naturally, her reactions are a bit... dull."
Chu Shen's thoughts became complicated. No wonder it was so easy for him to find a female cultivator. It turned out that she had such a big flaw.
But then he thought again, this woman was a genuine cultivator. Even the system gave her a higher evaluation than Chen Xiu, Ning Xiangyue, and others. Yu Sidao didn't violate his promise of getting what he paid for, and she even exceeded his expectations. What reason did he have to be dissatisfied?
Thinking this way, he felt relieved and raised his glass to Yu Sidao. "I understand a bit now. Her immersion in the mortal world probably also has the consideration of restoring normal human emotions, right?"
Yu Sidao smiled and said, "Young Master Chu guessed correctly. The environment alone cannot create a true transcendent being. Only by immersing oneself in the mortal world can one transcend the mortal world and reach the other shore of the heavenly path, attaining great freedom."
Chu Shen nodded. "I understand a bit now. I will do my best to assist Miss Shangguan in her path of enlightenment."
Yu Sidao blinked and smiled. "I also took notice of the rich red dust atmosphere in the Chu family, which is why I played matchmaker between Young Master Chu and the Red Dust Sect, allowing Shangguan Junior Sister to choose the Chu family as the place for her Red Dust Heart Refining."
Chu Shen thought of the concubines he was about to have and coughed twice. "Let's drink, let's drink!"
Yu Sidao laughed heartily, adding a touch of carefree meaning.
After three days, it was an auspicious day according to the Chinese calendar.
Hengyuan became lively for the first time since the Chu family moved in.
The news of Chu Shen taking a concubine spread throughout Nanping City, causing a wave of discussions.
"I knew Master Chu was impressive, but I never expected him to be so impressive that he could marry a fairy!"
"I knew Master Chu had a way with women, but I never expected him to be so outstanding that he could marry a fairy!"
"Damn, why do I feel like our words are so similar?"
"Because I just changed your words a bit."
"You son of a bitch, aren't you afraid that Master Chu will blame us for this arrangement?"
"No, no, no, I didn't arrange anything. I'm just speaking the truth, and I have to say, I really admire Master Chu!
You say Master Chu is impressive, and that's true, but I think it's even more admirable that Master Chu, who is so good with women, can achieve this!
Think about it, who in Nanping City has married a fairy?"
"Right, besides the people from the three major sects, it seems like no one has. Even the old master of Wuxiong Mountain, Wu Lao, married mortal wives and concubines."
"Exactly, because fairies are rare resources. How could they be available to mortals? But Master Chu did it, that's why I admire him so much!"
"That makes sense!"
"..."
Many people in Nanping City didn't know that Chu Shen was already a cultivator, and even his concubines were also cultivating.
Chu Shen hid it well. Why did he have to rush up and fight with brute force when he could handle things with worldly power?
But this elevated his reputation in Nanping City and made him an idol in the eyes of many.
On the day Chu Shen married Shangguan Shurong, the whole Nanping City echoed with auspicious words like "Congratulations, Lord Chu" and "May Lord Chu have a harmonious and blessed marriage, and may a noble child be born soon."
Chu Shen was also generous, hosting a lavish feast and giving nearly a thousand taels of silver as wedding gifts. That day, Nanping City seemed to have been washed by a rain of copper coins, and the scene was extremely grand and luxurious.
However, no one in Nanping City was dissatisfied. Even the government office sent a large number of officials to maintain order.
Not only because of Chu Shen's prestige and influence in Nanping City, but also because of Shangguan Shurong's deterrent power.
She was a female cultivator, a Divine Grade Qi Refining Stage Six mortal realm warrior. Apart from the experts of the three major sects, even the government's cultivators were only at the Qi Refining Stage Five.
The Chu family now had a pillar capable of stabilizing the region, qualifying them to hold a grand celebration in Nanping City, with the whole city rejoicing together!
And Chu Shen didn't do this just because he had a lot of money to burn.
On one hand, it was to spread the word and let everyone in Nanping City know that the Chu family now had a Qi Refining Stage Six cultivator overseeing things, welcoming cooperation and warning troublemakers to think twice.
On the other hand, it was to help Shangguan Shurong restore her normal emotions.
The allure of the mortal world was indeed domineering, nourishing itself with the desires of cultivators' emotions. Only by giving the cultivator enough and deeply memorable impressions of the mortal world could her worn-out emotions gradually be recovered.
Although there was no change in Shangguan Shurong's expression throughout the entire celebration, the light flowing in her eyes represented that she remembered this grand feast arranged for her, and the imprint that Chu Shen had left in her heart.
Not only that, in order to awaken her innate emotions, Chu Shen instructed the concubines to actively interact with her, telling her interesting stories and explaining things about husband and wife.
Unfortunately, this took time. Until Chu Shen bid farewell to the guests and arrived at the bridal chamber, he still saw the cold and indifferent Sanwu female cultivator.
She sat quietly in the new room, her calm and empty gaze looking at him, still somewhat captivating.
"You, you would definitely look good if you smiled." Chu Shen, undeterred by this coldness, sat beside her and gently reached out his hand, lightly pulling at the corners of her mouth.
Shangguan Shurong looked at him calmly, although she had no expression, her expression should convey confusion, not knowing what Chu Shen meant.
Chu Shen brought her in front of a mirror and repeated the previous action, guiding her to learn slowly, "This is 'smile,' why don't you give it a try?"
Shangguan Shurong's mouth twitched, as if she was trying hard, but it was futile, as if the muscles on her face did not support her movements.
She looked at Chu Shen again.
Chu Shen had no choice but to take action again and give her an artificial smile.
The two of them only did such a simple thing, lasting until late at night, before Chu Shen finally admitted defeat and smiled bitterly, "It seems that I was too impatient, I have to take it slowly."
But this time, he received a response from Shangguan Shurong. The female cultivator reached out her hand and held his hand, even though there was no expression on her face, it expressed her trust in him.
This made Chu Shen pleasantly surprised and he laughed heartily.
