Chapter 266 - Unlike Mortals (2/2)

The reason for that was simple—none deemed their daughters fit enough to stand beside Lu Xuan.

Those introduced to him were either popular girls in school or social elites of some kind. While those women were more than enough to be a good match for many, Lu Xuan was deemed overqualified.

He was surprised to find that there actually was someone else harboring such a thought at present. While Wei Ziyu was not considered the prettiest, she was still beautiful, and she definitely had quite a background to boot as well. All of that, coupled with the fact that she was indeed powerful, indeed made her quite a good candidate for cultivation partner for Lu Xuan.

To cultivators, finding a mate and getting a cultivation partner were seen as two different concepts. Cultivation partners were those that cultivators could truly spend their entire lives with.

Taking in a few girls was but an act driven by lust. Said girls would eventually end up dead by old age, yet Lu Xuan would still remain at his prime.

“You’re indeed unusually open-minded,” Lu Xuan said casually.

“So, you’re not against them being the ones in control of your marriage?”

She elaborated in a rather indifferent manner, “I was born to one such family, so I’ve known that to be my fate all along. My marriage was never something I had a say over in, to begin with. If they were to look for someone for me, it would be best to just get someone exceptional, and your reputation precedes you, Mr. Lu. I’ve agreed to this so as to see what you’re made of for myself.

“But well, those thoughts went out of the window from the very second I saw you,” she smiled and added.

“Hmm? So you found me to be a bad match or outright ugly?” he asked with a smile.

She then shook her head and answered, “That couldn’t be further from the truth. Be it looks or powers, or just anything else, you’re indeed the best out there. One could even say that there is no one else like you in the world, but you’re not someone I see as my ideal husband.

“You’re just too fleeting. It’s as if you’ll fly off somewhere the moment I blink. I’d like to find someone that I can understand to be my husband. Yet, you don’t even look like you belong in the world, to begin with. The likes of you would be considered a miracle just based on the fact that you exist in the world as is.” She looked at Lu Xuan as she elaborated.

Lu Xuan felt rather surprised. She was actually able to tell that he was different from the others right off the bat. That was because many only began training only after Spirit Qi had begun to be restored to the world. While many claimed to be cultivators, they were still fundamentally human.

Holding a job while cultivating was something that would be considered absurd elsewhere.

However, it was a common occurrence on Earth.

That was because all of them only began on their journey of cultivation as mortals, and they had yet to be completely transformed.

Lu Xuan’s case was different. He was a Celestial Lord back in his past life, and his transformation had long been completed.

Her perception was apt. If it had not been for his inadequate level at cultivation, his state of mind alone would have long allowed him to ascend to higher heights.

“I have no confidence in being able to spend the rest of my life with you. So, let’s throw all out of that out of the window and spar,” she added, her eyes sharp.

Lu Xuan simply shook her head and said, “There’s no need to try. You’re no match for me.”

Wei Ziyu, however, remained indifferent and answered, “You do have a way crushing the confidence of others. But then again, I won’t be able to rest well until I try my hand. I really want to know what the gap between me is, and what the best in the world is like.”

He took a look at her and was silent for a bit. He then pointed all of a sudden, and his attack shot to the sky. It was a move that was deceptively fast in her eyes.

While she was able to make out every single movement, she had the feeling that she was utterly incapable of evading his attack.
