Mu Xue Is Too Beautiful, I Can't Handle It

She then continued to fiddle with her spiritual herbs.

Zhen Wu and Zhen Ling watched with some concern, but sensing no danger, they were unsure whether to intervene.

"I heard you just got back from breaking off an engagement?" the little girl asked without looking up.

Lu Shui nodded, looking at his darkening arm:

"En, just got back."

"Did you succeed in breaking off the engagement?" the little girl asked.

Lu Shui shook his head:

"Failed."

"Why did you fail?" the little girl's tone never changed; she still had her head down, fiddling with the spiritual herbs.

Hearing this question, Lu Shui thought for a long time. He couldn't possibly say he was scared off by Miss Mu Xue, could he?

So he used a reason that was easier to understand:

"Because Miss Mu Xue is exceptionally beautiful, and I couldn't bear to break off the engagement."

Upon hearing this, the little girl paused.

Zhen Wu and Zhen Ling were also stunned. So that was the reason?

If that were the case, was young master being too willful?

Well, thinking about it, if he wasn't willful, he wouldn't be young master.

But Zhen Wu and Zhen Ling still couldn't understand. Although Miss Mu Xue was good-looking, she was by no means a peerless beauty in the human world.

Could she really make their young master change his mind on the spot?

The answer was unknown.

At this moment, the little girl returned to normal and said:

"But the Lu family doesn't marry commoners."

"Then why doesn't the Lu family marry commoners?" Lu Shui retorted.

"For the talent of the next generation."

"And what about my talent?"

"Very ordinary."

"What about my parents?"

"Your father is considered special, but his talent is relatively upper-class. Not to mention your mother; your mother completely outclasses your father in cultivation talent."

"So even with two good talents, it's possible to have someone like me, a waste," Lu Shui said, touching his numb arm.

He didn't feel much as he said these things, as if being called a waste was nothing to be ashamed of.

The little girl shook her head:

"But the chance of having children with good talent is higher.

You've experienced the outside world; do you understand the saying that one can succeed without studying?

This is a misconception and an excuse. When you have a choice, giving up a better option is foolish.

Because most people who succeed through hard work are scholars.

The ratio between the two sides is incomparable.

Therefore, finding you a partner with high talent is the best choice."

Lu Shui shook his head in disagreement:

"Studying is different from marriage. Liking someone and not liking someone are two different concepts.

And between someone with good talent and someone with poor talent, there can be an insurmountable gap.

To put it simply, the Lu family marries a wife for me to have children.

With someone of good talent, it might only be one child due to mission reasons.

After all, someone with good talent will also want to cultivate. Once they have a child, she will naturally cultivate harder.

But Mu Xue, being a commoner, cannot cultivate. My talent is also poor. The two of us, relying on medicine, can at most live for a few hundred years.

And we, who are already equal, might like each other. If two people who like each other don't cultivate, they will naturally have more time together.

Doesn't that make it easier to have children?

I've checked; the Lu family has been a single heir for many years.

But if I were to marry Mu Xue, this might be broken. Although the chance of having a child with high talent might be lower, if we have more children, the probability naturally increases.

The Lu family might even prosper because of it."

Lu Shui finished speaking, and the little girl was stunned.

Then she said:

"Unique perspective, makes some sense."

Lu Shui smiled. He couldn't possibly tell her that in his previous life, after marrying Mu Xue, the Lu family didn't even have a single heir.
