Chapter 1613 It Could...
Ryu took the lecture in silence, coughing from time to time.
His father was right, he knew that. But honestly, he never really worried about it.
What would he do if a woman he neglected chose to leave him? Well, he wouldn't really care, so long as she never married again. Because if she chose to lie with another man after losing her Primordial Yin to him, it wouldn't just be a matter of her any longer, it would be about his pride and his Faith. He would never allow that.
In truth, he would probably kill such a woman and her lover, never thinking twice about it.
Was it fair? Of course not, he knew that. But Ryu wasn't a man who dealt in fairness to begin with.
Most of these women his father was talking about had a clear understanding of his personality before they took action. The only exception to that was Mae... well, he guessed Isemeine as well.
When Ryu thought of this, his relatively calm expression became a frown.
He really liked Eska and she wasn't among the neglected, at least for now. But now she shared a body with Isemeine, and Isemeine had a completely different set of morals and personality. If not for Eska's influence, Isemeine would already be thinking about leaving him. In fact, she might have already acted on it.
If Isemeine did such a thing while sharing Eska's body, even if they were technically separate, Ryu couldn't say he wouldn't care anymore. He wouldn't even be able to kill Isemeine without affecting Eska or maybe even killing her as well.
He wouldn't even know what to do in the situation aside from burning everything related to her lover to the ground, and even then he'd still be furious.
Ryu blinked, then nodded. "Yes, father."
"Good. Even if you want more women, you have to ensure that you not only have the resources, but also the time for them. Anything less and you will only be harming yourself and them."
Ryu nodded again. He felt that his father was right, he just didn't really think about it. He just did as he pleased.
His heart was freer than it had once been, but it seemed that there were drawbacks to that as well.
"Now," Titus continued. "I assume I already understand what you meant by "beast girl". But what about the rest?"
Ryu chuckled. Indeed, in retrospect, it was probably less what his mother told him and that comment instead that triggered the lecture. Either way, he appreciated it. He was young and still blind to some things.
Ryu told his father about the Phoenix Sky God, causing a line of worry to appear.
Ryu shrugged. "In the end, I was unable to cultivate and they gave me a chance to. I'll make them regret it if they dare to do anything to me in the future."
Titus sighed. Indeed, his son did have two sides. When he was stubborn like this, it didn't matter what he said.
"Then your Sect?" Titus asked.
"I'm still not sure how to deal with it. I don't want to leave those two in danger, but I also don't want to alert Old Wan of anything. The less that man knows, the better."
Suddenly, Ryu's eyes lit up. "I thought of something. There's a chance he could see through it, and you might have to clash with Aika, but it could work..."N♡vεlB¡n: A Haven for Bookworms and Dreamers.
