320: Chapter 281 320: Chapter 281 Jiang Tang was unaware that during this appraisal, a Heart Demon had appeared, something he had never experienced before, as he fought incessantly against it.
Perhaps it was due to his sudden arrival in the Cultivation World from his previous life, yearning for his family, harboring an obsession of nostalgia, not knowing if they were well or not.
This thought had accompanied him ever since he came to the Cultivation World, and through many hardships and life-threatening situations, he had always fought to stay alive with determination.
He hoped to find a foothold in the Cultivation World and also wished that one day he could ascend to return to that world, to see his family again.
Perhaps being able to come to the Cultivation World implied the existence of a pathway to the future world, to unknown worlds, or maybe even to another Earth and planets.
After coming to Cultivation, the hatred in this body drove him to seek out his enemies, propelled by an obsession in the body that demanded becoming stronger.
After reuniting with his parents, he felt every day how they grew stronger through cultivation, and now, he had a place in the Cultivation World.
He didn’t hold any hatred for other people in the Cultivation World; those who had wronged him, those who bullied her, had already met their retribution.
Unknown dangers didn’t scare him yet, his greatest obsession was only with his parents in that other world.
Jiang Tang’s mind was filled mostly with the joys of childhood, of his continued studies, of classmates, family, relatives, and friends he had seen.
The faces, both familiar and strange, raced through his mind rapidly, scene after scene, as he viewed these fleeting images over and over.
Jiang Tang lamented the fact that he lived into his twenties without a girlfriend in his previous life, not because he was too flawed, but because he was too shy and too honest.
While others had boyfriends or girlfriends in middle school and high school, he didn’t have any even after college.
It wasn’t that no girls wrote love letters to him, but his shyness in meeting them, perhaps due to lack of humor and being too honest, resulted in them only wanting to be friends with him eventually.
He had also secretly loved a goddess, even wrote love letters to various goddesses, only for one such goddess to throw his letter into the trash.
Then she got into a rich second generation’s car.
Jiang Tang was puzzled; he was also a rich second generation himself, albeit a low-key one.
Were everyone’s eyes failing them?
Isn’t one supposed to look at inner beauty?
Must one have houses, cars, and a father who is someone significant to make girls fall for them at first sight?
Watching others cohabit, he hardly dared to even hold a girl’s hand, let alone kiss her.
Even after transmigration, he was still a virgin, something he didn’t dare admit to his male friends.
After university, men his age, even if not yet married, had several girlfriends already, which essentially meant they had wives.
Regrettably, he had neither children nor a spouse.
Upon arriving in the Cultivation World, initially it was so tough!
Constantly striving to become stronger, having never farmed before, he had to toil in the fields upon this body’s soul taking over, sweating profusely in the scorching heat.
Back in school, there was air conditioning, and he lived in comfortable places; but upon arriving in the Cultivation World, he suffered for years as a bottom-tier figure.
Finally, now he could count himself among the elite, having held hands with girls and kissed their faces, but regrettably, he was still a virgin.
Luckily, now he looked presentable enough to have girls willing to follow him, but due to his gentlemanly nature, despite having numerous girlfriends, he had not one wife.
In Jiang Tang’s mind, continually changing, the regrets from two lifetimes came to an end, and he still had no wife.
The scenes halted at the sight of many women.
Jiang Tang wanted to embrace those women, but they flew away in an instant.
Were these girls playing with him, or were they unwilling?
Jiang Tang desperately thought of ways to pursue them, as the gentleman’s devil and the actual devil within him reemerged.
The gentleman’s devil spoke, “If the girls are unwilling, then take it slow and win them over with your feelings.”
The devil mocked, “No wonder you didn’t have a wife in your previous life, isn’t it because you were too much of a gentleman?
Don’t pretend to be noble; deep inside, you are no different, so why lie to yourself?”
“No, love requires mutual affection and willingness from both sides, one must never resort to despicable methods.”
“Ha, haven’t you heard?
‘Nice guys finish last.’ No matter how much of a gentleman you are, even if a woman likes you, she won’t be yours for long.”
“Since ancient times, beauties love heroes, believe in yourself.”
“Really?
You call yourself a hero, so noble, then continue being a virgin!”
The two devils in Jiang Tang’s mind argued as sweat started to bead on his face.
He closed his eyes, shaking his head back and forth.
The Heart Demon led him into confusion, where justice seemed less appealing than the devil, and he swung his arms frantically.
Luckily, this was happening above the sun, where the sun’s golden light scattered, causing the Golden Crystals to fly, and the sun’s glow upon the Primordial Treasure Spirit Field Space alternated between intense, gentle, and seemingly losing its shine entirely.
“Oh no, this isn’t good,” Eryao sensed something was amiss, feeling a connection with his master’s turbulent heart, fearing his master was on the brink of madness.
“Moo moo,”
Green Ox also felt his master’s heart in disarray and let out a worried bellow, but was unable to fly up to the sun.
Eryao reverted from his youthful form back to the Snow Dragon and soared toward the sun.
He saw Jiang Tang waving his hands, eyes closed, forehead dripping with sweat, and his face looked as if he was about to go mad.
