Chapter 56: Selfishness
He was sure that if he could dual cultivate with her, his cultivation would go beyond leaps and bounds.
But he had restricted his thoughts.
At least, he wasn't sure if he could get her to dual cultivate. Their relationship hadn't reached that point.
Unless he could keep enticing her with his Touch of Passion.
But Touch of Passion wasn't exactly a lustful skill. It was more of an emotional skill.
If there was a hidden emotion inside someone, this would awaken that emotion.
Thinking about it, he couldn't help but stare at Elaine.
"Are you alright with this?"
Elaine flinched for a moment and said.
"I will be lying if I say I am."
She chuckled and continued.
"We are talking about sharing you. I can't accept it."
She bit her lips and continued.
"It hurts my heart. I really don't want to share you. I just want you for me."
Elaine took a deep breath and raised her head, staring at Ken as she continued.
"But I know I can't stop you from enticing other women. You have a strange charm."
"It is not about your eyes or hair. It's when you touched me. I couldn't help but feel strange about you."
"Even though we only met once, my feelings for you soared. If you could do that to a woman you just met, I can't imagine how many others will fall for you."
"So, I will have to share you. After all, you want to have more women, don't you?"
Hearing that, Ken bitterly smiled and said.
"Yeah! I can't lie about this. You don't know how crazy my mind has become. I told you how my mother sealed my memories, right?"
Elaine nodded, but her expression darkened when she thought about what Ken was trying to say.
"When I met her, instead of seeing her as my mother, I saw her as a beautiful woman. Of course, I didn't have those kinds of thoughts before."
"But when I saw my sect crumbling before me, that thought came to my mind. Just because dual cultivation could improve my strength faster."
"So, yeah! I might be able to suppress those thoughts, but having a harem, I think I am bound to do it."
Elaine took a deep breath.
She was a bit disgusted but also happy about this revelation. At least, despite knowing how bad his thoughts were, Ken didn't hesitate to tell her.
She raised her hands and caught his cheeks.
"No matter what happens, I will always be there for you."
Ken chuckled and said.
"I know. You know, Elaine, if I wanted to get successful, I thought I needed a talented woman."
He rubbed his nose against her and continued.
"But after meeting you, I realized just how wrong my thoughts were. I didn't need a girl with Heavenly Phoenix Body or a background of an Emperor."
"I just needed a girl who could understand me and support with with all of her love."
"And, I found her."
He said as he lowered his lips towards her and kissed her.
Elaine felt sweet in her mind. She had been having these thoughts of self-reflection on her worth.
She wasn't the talented one. She didn't even learn other things like Julia and Alice.
Her background was impressive, but it was nothing in front of Ken.
His mother alone was a Saint Realm powerhouse.
The same powerhouse that was able to destroy the entire Golden Dragon Sect after thousands of years of its death.
She couldn't even fathom just how great Ken's background and talent were.
Just after completing his physique, he went from Skin Tempering Stage to Qi Condensation Realm in just over a month.
This was an incredible feat.
Even after achieving a feat like that, Ken didn't feel repulsed by her background, her talent, and her worth.
His words didn't just make her feel good. They meant everything to her.
It was recognition from the man she loved the most.
Yes, at this moment, Ken was the sole person she loved even more than her parents.
She didn't know how love could be measured, but she knew she would choose Ken over her family.
"Damn! Do they have to kiss in front of us?"
Alice couldn't help but click her tongue. She was annoyed by the sight of Elaine and Ken kissing each other.
She didn't hear what they talked about, but she knew they were having a moment. So, she couldn't just barge in and disturb them.
"Alice, are we doing the right thing? We don't even love him." Julia asked with a soft voice.
Alice sighed helplessly and said.
"You are too confused, Julia. Love is not something that you can have. It's not something that I can have."
"To find love, you have to be incredibly lucky. Do you know why? Because we are cultivators."
"We are selfish. Men change women as if they are changing clothes. Women choose rich and talented men as if they are selecting clothes."
"And, they wear each other. That is sex. That is dual cultivation. For us, it's not about whether we love each other."
"It's about whether we can find value in our love."
Hearing that, Julia clenched her fist and said.
"That's not the life I want."
"But that's the life we live. My mother knows this more than anyone else."
Alice stated and hissed.
"We can't change our nature, Julia. We are selfish. Cultivators are all selfish. We steal from the corpses of others."
"We take the energy from nature. We are thieves, trying to steal the resources of the world."
Alice slowly calmed down and turned her head towards Elaine and Ken, saying.
"But even in such conditions, we can find love. Didn't Elaine do it? So, why can't we? Should we hesitate just because he is gonna fuck us?"
"Listen, Julia! If I can use my pussy to get a perfect technique for this situation, I am gonna do that."
She pointed at her heart and said.
"But I have a heart. If this is truly a man for me, I will stand by his side till my death. That's what I call love. That's what my mother calls love."
"So, what about you?"
Julia was inspired and ashamed at the same time.
The fact that she had used her private parts to get resources was absolutely impossible for her.
But at the same time, she couldn't help but feel something about her intentions. If Ken were a man for her, she would indeed fall in love with him.
"You are right. I am thinking too selfishly. I am not even thinking about how Elaine is feeling about this."
Julia released a deep breath and said.
"Anger and sadness! I bet she is feeling both of those emotions. But I also feel like they have sorted it out. That kiss has been going on for five minutes."
Alice said as she pointed at them.
The next moment, they stopped the kiss as if they heard her words.
Ken said.
"Let's go and talk to them!"
Elaine nodded, and they turned back.
When Alice and Julia saw Ken coming towards them, they lowered their heads.
Despite everything, Alice couldn't find the courage to look him in his eyes.
"Although I heard everything from Elaine, I still want to ask you something. Are you willing to be my lovers?"
Ken looked straight at them and asked.
Although he looked serious, his heartbeat was too fast. Elaine had her hand near his chest so she could feel it.
She suppressed her smile and looked at her sisters, waiting for their response.
Alice and Julia looked at each other before turning towards him.
"Yes, we are."
Ken felt strange. He rubbed the back of his head and said.
"So, I am not sure how this harem thing works."
Elaine rolled her eyes and said.
"You were so interested in harem. Don't tell me you just wanted to fuck multiple women?"
Ken looked absolutely shocked as he asked.
"How did you know?"
That's truly what he knew about harem. He never had a girlfriend before. So, the thing about the harem was just something he learned from Ken Grant.
Elaine pouted and twisted his waist.
"Shouldn't you give them something now?"
'You are too blunt.'
Alice and Julia screamed in their mind.
'Sure enough! They are plants of the same pot.'
Their embarrassment was so high that they were literally steaming from their heads.
Ken, however, didn't notice that and nodded his head.
"You are right. I got some techniques from the ancestors. You can check them and take what's best for you."
He said as he waved his hand, and several different scrolls appeared in the air. He quickly caught them.
There were six scrolls, and all of them had some amazing techniques.
"By the way, they are not Low-Level Techniques. Except for maybe one, which is Middle-Level, the other five should be High Level."
"Choose the one best for you."
He turned towards Elaine and said.
"You too."
