Chapter 7
Bojieong and Baek Arin exchanged glances.
Then, Baek Arin addressed the three students who had been called for special guidance.
"Seon Yumi, Na Soso, and Jin Cheon. You will receive instruction alongside my personal disciples. That is the privilege of the Special Class. In addition, you will receive five hundred spirit stones each month, along with elixirs, talismans, private rooms, dormitories... and other support. I hope you will not squander your potential and reach higher realms to receive even greater benefits."
"Yes!"
"Understood."
Seon Yumi and Na Soso answered earnestly, but I merely nodded.
There was no need to show deference to a mere female.
That was the attitude I needed to maintain in the world I was about to enter.
"Hmm..."
Baek Arin narrowed her eyes but didn't bother to correct me.
'This arrogant brat. I don't even want to involve Bojieong in this, so I won't bother reprimanding him. Just know that you'll regret it.'
That was Baek Arin's thought.
I also read the thoughts of Seon Yumi and Na Soso.
'I finally made it this far! First place in the Special Class—no, I'll become Instructor Baek Arin's personal disciple and absorb as much knowledge as I can! That's the only way I can survive. If I can't win fairly, I'll stab them in the back or set a trap if I have to!'
'Ah, was his name Jin Cheon? He's handsome. Hehe, that girl seems nice too. I hope we can all get along. Would he like me if I cooked something delicious for him?'
Na Soso was grinding her teeth with hidden malice, while Seon Yumi was thinking with innocent cheerfulness.
Meanwhile, Bojieong was having her own thoughts.
'So pretty! Ah, so many beauties! Who among them would make a good wife for my Cheon-ah?'
Given her natural inclination to dislike men and favor women, she was busy appraising the appearances of the other female students in the class.
At the very least, she was considering them as potential wives for me, which was commendable.
'Seon Yumi—that girl seems so gentle!'
I agreed with Bojieong's assessment.
From her very thoughts, she seemed like the epitome of a wise mother and good wife, and her appearance was truly beautiful.
Petite frame, delicate shoulders, a slender waist, and what looked like generous hips.
Her chest was just the right size.
If stripped, there might be even more to admire.
Her downturned eyes and long, feminine lashes gave her a gentle demeanor.
A faint, serene smile.
She was wealthy, and her spirit roots seemed sufficient.
The appearance of a fairy was truly exceptional—her face and body were flawless.
And this was just the level of a Qi Condensation cultivator. What would higher realms be like?
I couldn't contain my anticipation.
Seon Yumi was already at the early stages of the third stage of Qi Condensation, so if she was this refined, I could at least attempt Dual Cultivation with her after fully refining her spirit body.
Though I was mainly focused on Seon Yumi, I wasn't uninterested in Baek Arin and Na Soso for Dual Cultivation—or what some called the Joyous Union.
Both were untouched and beautiful.
However, Na Soso had a man she admired and wished to make her cultivation partner, which was a slight obstacle.
Before or after she got involved with him, I'd have to thoroughly discipline her to make her my furnace.
If I were to pursue them, the order would be Seon Yumi, Baek Arin, and then Na Soso.
As I reached my conclusion, Baek Arin, having finished organizing, spoke.
"It seems all members are accounted for. The Special Class will receive my contact information. The rest of the regular Class 1, please refrain from contacting me privately. For now, take some time to get to know each other."
With that, Baek Arin left.
I now had the chance to speak with Seon Yumi.
But before I could make a move, she approached me first.
"Jin Cheon, your potential is truly remarkable. Would you mind if I became your friend? I'd like to work together as fellow members of the same class."
At Seon Yumi's words, Na Soso thought to herself:
'Hmph, cooperation? We're all competitors here.'
Regardless, I welcomed the offer warmly.
"Of course. I already took a liking to you too. I'd love to have a deeper conversation—could you spare a moment? There's much I want to ask, so I'd prefer we talk privately first."
Seon Yumi tilted her head slightly in confusion but nodded without much suspicion.
"Sure. Where should we go? The academy rents out private rooms—shall we go there?"
"Good."
Unaware of anything, Seon Yumi followed me to a private room.
"Ah, well... I suppose I should go talk to the other students."
Left behind, Na Soso seemed frustrated at being excluded despite being a competitor, but she soon swallowed her resentment and headed toward the others.
You're next in line, so don't rush.
In any case, Seon Yumi and I rented a private room and entered.
"What did you want to talk about?"
Seon Yumi, who had entered first, took out a table and chairs and sat down before asking.
Then, Bojieong cut in.
"It seems our Cheon-ah has taken quite a liking to you. He seems to want you as his cultivation partner—what do you think?"
"C-Cultivation partner? That's... quite sudden. I've heard Jin Cheon has even greater potential than me and achieved outstanding results in the entrance exam. But..."
Seon Yumi brought up the entrance exam.
I had used my cheat to score the highest marks, leaving everyone in awe.
Thanks to that, my reputation was already quite high.
"I-It's a bit embarrassing. I'm happy to have such a handsome senior, but... I don't think Dual Cultivation is all that efficient."
Seon Yumi, displaying her sharp and wise side, pointed out that Dual Cultivation wasn't particularly effective.
In truth, most female cultivators remained untouched precisely for that reason.
There were some, like those of the Joyous Union Sect, who actively used Energy Absorption in their cultivation, but they were exceptions.
"Must a cultivation partner always involve Dual Cultivation? But my dear, you'll soon realize just how exceptional our Cheon-ah is and how important he'll be to you."
"Hmm..."
As Bojieong's words carried an undertone of coercion, Seon Yumi's gentle demeanor turned icy.
She then spoke bluntly.
After all, in the cultivation world, cultivators couldn't casually oppress one another, so she had no reason to hold back.
"Senior, why are you speaking for him instead of letting Jin Cheon say it himself? It makes him seem like someone bound by his mother's will. I don't hold enough affection for a cultivator who lacks independence to consider him a cultivation partner."
Seon Yumi was outright implying that Bojieong's disciple was a mama's boy.
"Hah! What a ridiculous child. Do you think I can't punish you?"
"Go ahead and try. I, too, have a formidable mother. She's a very reasonable and powerful woman."
Without my cheat, if she were told to become a furnace or a cultivation partner—or worse, outright ordered to become a wife and serve—of course, a fight would break out. That was only natural.
"I thought we could build a good relationship, but suddenly making such excessive demands leaves me at a loss. Why not just say outright that you want me to be his wife and serve him? I did consider him worthy at first, but now I see clearly that he isn't. Frankly, he seems still wet behind the ears."
Still wet behind the ears—Seon Yumi openly mocked me as a brat who hadn't even dried off his mother's milk!
But since I had been drinking Bojieong's milk, I wasn't particularly offended.
"Seon Yumi, since you seemed to think well of me at first, I'll speak plainly instead of scheming."
"Go ahead. Out of camaraderie as fellow Special Class members, I'll hear you out. I'd hate to think I wasted my time coming here."
"Do you think you could become my wife? You do seem gentle enough to make a good one, but I wonder if you'd beg for mercy after being used as a furnace."
Before using my cheat, I taunted her outright. Seon Yumi froze, wondering if she had heard correctly.
"What did you say?"
I activated my cheat.
The only restrictions I had were the unpredictable agony from Heaven's Secrets pressing down on me and the extreme difficulty in extending my lifespan—that was all!
With my cheat, there was nothing I couldn't do.
"You will obey me absolutely."
"Ah—ahhh...!"
Seon Yumi dropped to her knees, trembling violently, her face twisted in terror.
Her usually gentle face looked quite appealing like this.
"Spread your legs."
As I stroked myself and approached, Seon Yumi lifted her skirt and parted her thighs. After a brief hesitation, she used both hands to pull her labia apart, making it easier for me to enter.
