Family Tutoring-Thanks to Silver Grand Alliance Leader Pure Natural Yin-Yang Fish, La La La 222222, for the Mighty Support!

Grass, a type of plant.

Women from the Human Domain wouldn't work either.

The next day, in front of the tent, Wu Wang sat on a small stool atop a slightly higher patch of hillside, both hands buried in his hair, his expression indescribably dejected.

He always felt like he was being singled out!

That thiev—adorable heavens had given him a fairly handsome face, outstanding cultivation talent, and the status of young master of a great clan, yet had taken away his ability to touch the opposite sex!

Physical contact with a woman—even through clothing, so long as he could feel it—would make his vision go black and leave him utterly disoriented.

He had given it a scientific name himself: Maiden Contact Sleep Syndrome.

Wu Wang suddenly began to envy that male cultivator he had sent away.

Though the other man's aptitude was a little poor, his perseverance a little lacking, his sense of responsibility nonexistent, and his sights rather short; though it would be difficult for him to achieve much in cultivation—

At least the man was normal.

A little sunlight spilled down. Wu Wang raised his head toward the pale blue sky, and the corner of his mouth twitched slightly.

He probably, perhaps, maybe vaguely knew where the problem lay.

What else had happened when he was seven or eight?

He had begun studying the Star Invocation Technique out of curiosity. When the symptoms of this strange illness appeared, his understanding of the Star Invocation Technique had just made a major breakthrough, and he had sensed the origin of stellar power.

But why had that happened?

What was the exact principle behind it?

Wu Wang had investigated for a long time without finding the slightest clue.

Besides, there were over a thousand priests in this clan capable of going to war, and none of them had such problems. One Star Priest had even fathered nine children and received the tribe's honorary title of "Vigor-Boosting Festival."

Once he began suspecting that the Star Invocation Technique had caused this strange illness, he immediately went to find his introductory teacher in the technique—the clan's foremost expert in the Star Invocation Technique, his biological grandmother in this life.

Of course, whether they were blood-related or not was unimportant. What mattered was that she was professional enough.

Furthermore, Wu Wang was unable to touch women, and his grandmother was the most anxious of all. With one careless misstep, the Clan Leader's bloodline of their Bear Hug Tribe might truly come to an end!

Yet after trying every possible method and exhausting more than ten of the clan's strongest priests to the point of baldness, they still could not find the root or source of this strange illness. Grandmother could only attribute it to "the blessing of the gods."

The news that Wu Wang had some strange illness was currently confined to a very small circle.

—For the tribe's stability, the Clan Leader's successor could be mediocre, but absolutely could not be this peculiar.

But as Wu Wang grew older, all the unmarried young beauties in the clan had already prepared their own "fainting clubs," ready to offer a light and elegant rhyme to their young master's premarital life.

How much longer he could hide, Wu Wang did not really know.

Besides, he was a very traditional man who greatly respected the clan's traditions. If not for this strange illness, he would not have wanted to avoid such a traditional delight.

"Ahh, Young Master~"

A sweetly cloying call came from afar. Wu Wang looked toward the voice, and his mood immediately improved somewhat.

Several girls in leopard-print short skirts and little leather tops stood below the gentle slope, carrying basins of water and waving vigorously.

The sunlight was just right. Their healthy skin gleamed with the luster of silky smoothness, their generally lovely faces—nourished by Spiritual Energy—overflowed with youthful vitality. Especially these girls who loved riding wolves across the grasslands; most had long, slender legs and wasp waists marked by mermaid lines...

Wu Wang was crying in his heart. He was crying!

Yet he still maintained a gentle smile on his face and nodded faintly toward the girls, drawing a burst of delighted cheers.

After the girls left.

"Alas."

Wu Wang sighed despondently and began adjusting his state of mind.

There would always be a way.

Heaven never sealed off every road for a man. He had finally lived this life; if he could not even overcome this problem, how could he speak of smiling in the Yellow Springs later on?

He had already begun developing it: the Constantly Awake Machine!

A few bubbles appeared behind Wu Wang's head, within which emerged a not-too-complicated mechanical structure. It resembled the hair-washing bed from his previous life. He could lie on it while a wooden bucket suspended directly overhead continuously poured ice water onto his face.

It was just that...

Maintaining a state of excitement under such conditions truly required a period of arduous adaptive cultivation.

Time waited for no one.

Although the humans of the Great Wilderness had longer lifespans, they still became adults at twenty.

The matter of carrying on the family line had to be resolved—not merely because he craved pleasure, but for the sake of this clan and tribe as well!

Mm, for the tribe!

"Young... Young Master?"

A faint call came from behind him. Wu Wang turned to glance over, and his eyes immediately lit up.

When he had rescued her yesterday, this female cultivator from the Human Domain had been travel-worn and exhausted, her face full of fatigue, so he had not paid much attention. But after resting for a night and simply grooming herself, she seemed like a completely different person.

A vermilion hairpin lay across her coiled dark locks; willow-leaf brows curved over eyes holding autumn within them.

A few traces of innate gentleness rested upon her face. Her jade-like skin carried a faint blush, her features were exquisite, and her neck slender. From forehead to collarbone, there was not the slightest flaw. Her slender figure, made somewhat tall by her thinness, easily made one's gaze linger and forget to return.

She still remembered what had happened yesterday. Seeing Wu Wang remain dejected for so long after waking, she could not help but come over to take a look.

This young master was rather pitiful too, becoming like this at such a young age...

"Mm," Wu Wang replied. He withdrew his appraising gaze and fished a small stool from the leather bag at his waist, tossing it to a safe spot half a zhang away.

"Sit down and let's talk."

"Alright," Lin Suqing agreed. She gathered her skirt, pressed her legs together, and somewhat unaccustomedly sat down on the little stool.

Wu Wang said, "You can meditate too."

"This is fine," Lin Suqing said, raising a hand to smooth the hair by her ear. "Young Master, are you alright now?"

"Don't bring it up."

"Mm, I won't." Lin Suqing blinked and asked quietly, "Did something go wrong with your cultivation?"

Wu Wang did not answer. He merely snapped his fingers, and two guards nearby carried over a reclining chair covered in precious furs, along with an enormous parasol sewn from animal hide.

More guards brought over a wooden bucket half-filled with water, with seven or eight wine jars soaking inside.

Wu Wang swirled the middle finger of his right hand through the bucket, and a layer of ice immediately floated to the surface.

Ah, life.

Just ordinarily lying around, ordinarily loafing about, ordinary sunlight, ordinary drunkenness.

"The wind direction isn't right?"

Wu Wang muttered to himself. A guard beside him immediately lowered his head and ran off. From the distant grass sprang two priests in cloaks, holding Crystal Balls and chanting a string of strange tones.

Very soon, a gentle breeze drifted in from the direction of the snow mountains, denying the blazing grassland sun its chance to show off and bringing a trace of coolness to the hillside.

Lin Suqing: ...

"What's your name?" Wu Wang suddenly asked.

Lin Suqing hurriedly answered, "Suqing."

"So ordinary."

"This..."

"Your sect, years of cultivation, age. Introduce yourself."

Wu Wang said calmly, "You will stay by my side for the next six years. I will give you appropriate compensation. What you need to do is not what comes after taking off your clothes, but help me verify some cultivation theories and, incidentally, give me a detailed introduction to the Human Domain."

After thinking briefly, Lin Suqing said softly:

"Since childhood, I have studied under the Clear Wind Gazing Moon Sect. I have cultivated under my master, True Man Zuo Dong, for more than thirty years. Though there are not many cultivators in our sect, everyone respects and helps one another as we walk the immortal path together."

Wu Wang nodded and summarized, "From an ordinary small sect, average aptitude, currently in your forties."

Lin Suqing's forehead instantly filled with black lines. She hurriedly said, "As long as I enter the Core Formation Realm, I can live for a thousand years. Being in my forties is merely, merely..."

Wu Wang revealed a somewhat gentle smile, nodding with a smile while adding, "Mm," and "Mm."

Lin Suqing pursed her lips, silently turned her head away, and struggled to calm the throbbing vein on her forehead.

Damn it, why was he so infuriating!

"Oh, right," Wu Wang calmly stabbed in another knife. "Your junior brother and junior sister left overnight. They were lucky enough to catch a large Human Domain ship passing by.

Judging by your junior brother, if the ship had set sail any later, he would have carried it away on his back."

Lin Suqing's figure sank into shadow. Her left hand lifted weakly, had nowhere to go, and finally could only clutch her right arm.

"Is it funny?"

She muttered to herself.

Wu Wang had just wanted to offer a few comforting words. After all, this was the "family tutor" he would have to rely on in the future. But before he could open his mouth, he heard Lin Suqing give a cold laugh.

"I cultivated for decades without accomplishing anything. The junior brother I poured more than ten years of effort into teaching left me, while my master was badly injured and ignored by everyone in the sect."

She lifted her head, tears in her eyes and a sobbing tremor at the edge of her lips.

"I'm really terrible, aren't I?"

"Well..."

"Being in my forties and still only at the Origin Return Mid-stage is terrible, isn't it?"

"Mm..."

"Studying alchemy for over ten years and still blowing up furnaces is terrible, isn't it?"

"Having less Spiritual Energy than the newly admitted junior sister makes me terrible, doesn't it?"

"Carrying everything myself, not knowing how to act spoiled with my junior brother, making him feel somewhat constrained—that makes me terrible too, doesn't it?"

"Waaah—I'm just an ordinary female cultivator, so I'm terrible, aren't I!"

"Mother, I'm sorry! I should have listened to you and found someone to marry in the mortal world. Why did I insist on pursuing Immortal Cultivation and attaining the Dao!"

Watching the female cultivator before him cover her face and burst into tears, Wu Wang was a little at a loss too.

Speaking of which, didn't the Human Domain have systematic cultivation methods? Immortal Cultivation emphasized a steady Dao Heart, while Demonic Cultivation emphasized pursuing one's true nature. This big sis—no, this auntie's Dao Heart was really fragile.

Wu Wang turned his head to look around, picked out a guard who seemed fairly handsome and a bit younger, and said:

"Come over here a little. Let her feel a man's heroic bearing and give her some comfort."

The guard immediately pursed his lips and frowned, his face turning pale as he whispered:

"Young Master, nobody wants her, but I'm married."

Lin Suqing's crying abruptly stopped. Her head tilted to one side, and a wisp of white smoke drifted from the corner of her mouth, condensing into a tiny soul muttering things like, "I might as well sever my heart meridians myself."

Wu Wang nearly laughed out loud.

"You're actually quite good," Wu Wang said slowly. "There aren't that many geniuses in the world. Perhaps you are only in the stage of accumulating strength before making a great leap forward.

We are all ordinary people. It is only that the fields in which we excel differ.

For instance, just now, when you came out of the tent, you made me stare without blinking. I thought you were quite beautiful."

Lin Suqing's lips trembled lightly. "Young Master..."

"Keep your distance."

Wu Wang raised a hand in a gesture of refusal. "This afternoon, I'll take you around the grasslands to relax a little. Tonight, I'll help you set up lessons for teaching me."

"Lessons?"

"Mm." Wu Wang nodded seriously. "They can be cultivation methods, if your sect rules do not forbid it.

They can also be music, clothing, etiquette, even the local customs and things you have seen and learned, or gossip about the various cultivation sects of the Human Domain.

I need your knowledge and experience."

"Does Young Master want to go to the Human Domain?" Lin Suqing asked quietly.

"Perhaps."

Wu Wang looked toward the horizon of the grasslands, his voice becoming increasingly dreamlike.

"For now, I am still the only young master here and need to take responsibility for the clansmen who trust me.

But if the time is right, I must go see the Human Domain."

Specks of starlight glittered in his eyes. To Lin Suqing at his side, he appeared so brilliantly radiant.

Wu Wang said firmly:

"I must find a way to cure this strange illness afflicting me!"

"Young Master..."

"I'll have a good wild few years before getting married!"

"Cough! Cough cough!"

Lin Suqing clutched her chest and coughed violently, while all the guards around them cast admiring looks at Wu Wang.

This was the bearing their future leader ought to have.
