Chapter 22: Dual Cultivation 2*
As the sky shifted from twilight to the deeper shades of night, stars began to scatter across the heavens like cold embers. In the quiet courtyard of the Sixth Peak, where a gentle breeze rustled through the leaves, Meng Hao suddenly heard a crisp chime echo within his mind.
[Ding! It’s been detected that a lustful girl has thoughts of dual cultivation against you... Do you want to know it?]
The notification struck like a lightning bolt in the peaceful silence. Meng Hao, who had been walking slowly alongside Li Yao toward their new residences, nearly stumbled. His eyes widened for a split second, but he quickly composed himself.
"What the hell... someone’s having thoughts of dual cultivation with me??"
His lips twitched.
"Who is she?"
Suppressing the strange grin creeping onto his face, he mentally replied, "Show me, system."
Another crisp sound rang out, and text appeared in his field of vision.
[Ding! Host, Li Yao thinks that Su Lan accepted you as a disciple because she harbors evil and lustful thoughts toward you. Fearing her master will take you, she plans to sneak into your room tonight while you are asleep, and make you completely hers through dual cultivation.]
Meng Hao froze in place. His mouth slightly agape, he blinked once, twice.
"...What the hell is this logic??"
His eyes twitched as he processed the absurd chain of reasoning.
