Chapter 3 - 3: The Co-renting Female Cultivator, Love at First Sight_1
The three days passed in a blink of an eye.
“Well!”
With a gloomy face, Zhou Sui, who had prepared for a life of being a gigolo supported by unmarried older female cultivators, found himself unable to even get close to them.
These women were high in power and status. They were out of his league as a cultivator at the first layer of Qi cultivation.
He wouldn’t be able to use the Obsession Gu on them if he couldn’t even meet them in person.
Just like possessing a dragon slaying skill would be of no help if there were no dragons in the world.
Nonetheless, he was not in a hurry, he could resort to other high-ranking women cultivators if no solution presented itself.
One thing about the Obsession Gu was that it could act on more than one woman at a time.
Knock, knock, knock!!!
At this point, there was a knock at the door of the courtyard.
He went over and opened the door to find three charming and vivacious women cultivators standing there, their presence filling the air with a pleasing fragrance.
Undoubtedly, these three were incredibly beautiful women, rivaling movie stars, with their fair skin, ravishing looks, and stunning figures. They looked like celestial beings descended from heaven.
They were even more captivating than the women in Hundred Flowers Tower.
However, their aura was extraordinary; they were all in their late stages of Qi cultivation.
“Is this the place that’s seeking tenants, at only fifty lower-grade spirit stones per month?” asked one of the tall, mature women, her voice as melodic as a bird’s song.
“Indeed. Are you three interested in sharing the living space?” Zhou Sui responded, raising an eyebrow.
Out of financial necessity and with no particular skills to earn spirit stones, he had been considering renting out his own courtyard to get by.
There were seven or eight rooms inside this courtyard that covered 300 square meters, so it had enough room for eight cultivators.
Getting a place in Misty Cloud City was no piece of cake. Ordinary houses required at least hundreds of lower grade spirit stones per month, and better ones even needed two or three hundred lower grade spirit stones.
So, fifty lower grade spirit stones were definitely a giveaway price.
Luckily for Zhou Sui, his parents had wisely bought this house before the real estate prices in Misty Cloud City exploded, giving him a place to live in.
Otherwise, he would surely have been driven out of Misty Cloud City and left to wander in the streets.
“Yes, we’re cultivators from other places and wish to stay temporarily in Misty Cloud City. We’ve looked at numerous houses. If yours meets our satisfaction, we’ll rent it.” The mature woman explained.
Meanwhile, the three women were silently discussing their thoughts about the house.
“Elder Sister Ji, how do you find this house?”
“It’s actually decent. At fifty lower-grade spirit stones per month, the price is half of the market rate. Although we’re not short of spirit stones, it’s always best to save where we can.”
“True. Also, the owner of this house is nothing more than a cultivator at the first layer of Qi cultivation. He poses no threat to us. If he dares to harm us, we can easily kill him.”
“Living with a man could be a bit troublesome. But we may not stay in Misty Cloud City for long. If we find an opportunity for foundation establishment, we can possibly leave.”
“I agree. We should rent it if the house’s condition is satisfactory.”
The three women were evaluating the house mentally and chatted covertly.
These cultivators were not simple.
Meanwhile, Zhou Sui was also assessing these women cultivators from head to toe. In terms of looks, they were far more charming than the women in Hundred Flowers Tower, further enhanced by their graceful nobility.
Most importantly, he was interested in their powers. The tall, mature woman, undoubtedly, had reached the ninth layer of Qi cultivation. Although she had shielded her cultivation practice, Zhou Sui’s soul perception could see through it.
The other two women might not be as advanced as her, but they were certainly at or above the seventh layer of Qi cultivation.
Maybe he could insert the Obsession Gu in their bodies.
Then he would have strong cultivators as his backup.
Since he had no way to approach those high-ranking women, he couldn’t miss this opportunity to get in touch with these women cultivators, which was a streak of luck.
If he missed this boat, there would be no store for him anymore.
With this in mind, Zhou Sui didn’t hesitate. A thought crossed his mind, and an offspring of the Obsession Gu flew out on its own, invisible and undetectable.
The next instant, it penetrated the body of the tall, mature woman without her noticing anything.
This is the incredible power of Obsession Gu. It could seamlessly infiltrate people’s bodies and ignore all defenses, harboring infinite potential.
By the time the person realizes what’s happening, it would have taken root.
“Alright then, you can take a look at the rooms,” Zhou Sui said, his demeanour relaxing. He had done what he had to, the effectiveness of the Obsession Gu would be revealed over time.
At this point, he invited everyone into the courtyard.
“What’s happening?!” The mature woman suddenly sensed an odd change in herself. Initially, she felt nothing toward Zhou Sui, considering him a regular cultivator at the first layer of Qi cultivation.
In comparison to her age, he was just a young boy.
But now, for reasons unknown, her heart suddenly skipped a beat when she looked at Zhou Sui. She blushed as if she were a teenager experiencing her first crush. The once unremarkable features of Zhou Sui unexpectedly appeared handsome, and his every action, every word dripped with an irresistible charm.
The simplest sentence filled her with an alluring masculine charm.
What’s wrong with me? How can I be so attracted to a stranger, especially a male cultivator?!
I haven’t’ had such a feeling before. Could he have used a charm technique on me?!
But that was impossible. She was a formidable cultivator at the ninth layer of Qi cultivation. She wouldn’t have failed to sense if he had used a technique, and he couldn’t have deceived her.
Which meant it was probably love at first sight, something she had only heard of in stories.
Can’t believe this! Me, a woman in her thirties, fervently attracted to a teenager?!
Realizing this, her beautiful face blushed vehemently, her body temperature rising as if she had a fever.
“Elder sister, what’s the matter?” The other two female cultivators noticed her unusual behaviour and asked curiously.
“N-Nothing, this house is fine. I like it. Let’s rent it,” she said, trying to suppress her odd emotional upheaval. She couldn’t embarrass herself in front of her younger sisters.
“Alright then.”
Although the two other female cultivators were puzzled, they didn’t object to her decision about the house. They had liked it too and were eager to move in.
“By the way, my name is Ji Bingyu, and these are my younger sisters, Mu Ziyi and Xia Jingyan,” introduced the mature woman, revealing herself as Ji Bingyu.
“Alright. I’m Zhou Sui,” replied Zhou Sui, acknowledging that they had become acquainted.
