Immortal Cultivation of the Heart (Erotic Version) - Episode 7, Chapter 8: Treating Everyone Equally

A small boat drifts freely in the night breeze on Xuanwu Lake. The faint light emanating from the boat, surrounded by the darkness, flickers like a firefly.
At this moment, Li Se released Xue Yaoguang's pressure points, then sat upright in the chair, smiling as he gazed at Xue Yaoguang.
Xue Yaoguang gently shifted her body to relax her numbness, then slowly stood up and, at Li Se's prompting, gently sat down at the table laden with various foods.
Xue Yaoguang stared at Li Se with her beautiful eyes and said, "Brother Li, what are you laughing at? Is there something about Yaoguang that's funny?"
Li Se clapped his hands and laughed loudly, "No, I admire your composure, young lady! You were kidnapped and then suddenly saw me; you should have been full of questions. But you remained calm and didn't ask anything. Even a fine man couldn't be as composed as you!"
Xue Yaoguang patted her chest gently and laughed, "No! I was actually very scared, but I trust Brother Li, so when I saw you, I wasn't afraid of anything. Brother, you are truly my lucky star. Whenever I'm in trouble, you always appear in time."
Li Se smiled wryly and said, "You're really good with words, young lady. You've really been very kind of me by not exposing that I'm in cahoots with those people."
Xue Yaoguang smiled sweetly and said, "Then elder brother must have his reasons, right?"
Li Se said, "Yes! That is indeed the case, but as you say it, I feel like I'm lying. It's a long story, and you haven't eaten all day, have you? Please eat while I explain."
Xue Yaoguang smiled and said, "Hmm! I am a little hungry! Then I won't be polite." After saying that, she stretched out her small, jade-like hand, took a piece of pastry, and ate it. Her graceful posture was unexpected, and Li Se was stunned.
After Li Se and Xue Yaoguang had eaten for a while, he said, "When I first entered the martial world, I encountered strange things, and all the entanglements and misunderstandings we have now stemmed from this. Therefore, I have to start from the beginning."
Seeing that Xue Yaoguang nodded slightly, seemingly very interested, Li Se then recounted his background.
After finishing his sentence, Li Se said, "Perhaps Senior Flower Butterfly wanted me to inherit his mantle, which is why he was willing to die at my hands. He was indeed a master, and his actions were truly unconventional. At first, I was forced to learn some of his skills, but the more I learned, the more I realized that his skills were not as despicable, filthy, and vulgar as outsiders thought. His mental techniques are actually quite useful. I wonder if Senior Flower wanted me to reform the Butterfly Sect? He knew I was a righteous person, yet he still passed on his skills to me. There must be a deeper meaning behind that!" After saying this, he pondered deeply.
Xue Yaoguang blushed as she listened, thinking, "What use are the skills of this lecherous thief... what good are they? Gu Xiangjun and the others... they..." The more Xue Yaoguang thought about it, the more embarrassed she became, and she couldn't help but cover her face.
Suddenly, Li Se said again, "Miss Xue, you know everything about me now. I think you understand all the misunderstandings you had about me before. Don't worry, I will let you leave this place safely today, but please believe me, don't tell anyone about this. I think these lecherous thieves are not bad. Although they have gone astray, judging from their behavior these past few days, I believe that if I guide them, they can definitely turn over a new leaf. You have a kind heart, Miss Xue, and you will not make things difficult for me."
Xue Yaoguang hummed in agreement, then said playfully, "But that's not necessarily true! It depends on what benefits you give me! Otherwise, how can I swallow this insult after being tricked by these four bad guys time and time again?"
Li Se thought to herself, "Why does Miss Xue have the same temper as the princess? Do all girls think the same way?" She smiled and said, "Alright, what benefits does Miss Xue want? If I can do it, I will definitely do it."
Xue Yaoguang thought to herself, "So that's what his experiences were like. He wouldn't lie to me. But he said that Gu Xiangjun and Leng Ruxue liked him because of a misunderstanding. He must be lying to me. If he didn't have special talents, why would they marry him? Besides, Princess Wushuang is also very close to him. He didn't mention this."
Seeing Li Se staring intently at her, his eyes clear as water and his face handsome, she couldn't help but feel a jolt in her heart. She quickly lowered her head and stammered, "What benefits? I haven't thought of anything yet. I'll tell you when I do."
Li Se was overjoyed and said, "Young lady, you are indeed understanding. Come, let's have a few drinks. It is a blessing from past lives that we can drink together on the lake by chance. I don't want to miss it. We only live once, so we should not miss the time to be happy."
Seeing Li Se's high spirits, Xue Yaoguang, who had never seen him so happy before, asked joyfully, "Brother, are you willing to see me? Why are you so happy?"
Li Se laughed and said, "Your intelligence is truly remarkable, and I greatly admire you. In truth, I would very much like to get closer to you, but there is a difference between men and women, and I had no reason to see you before. Now that I have this opportunity, to go boating on the lake with you, wouldn't that be a great pleasure? Come, let's drink." He then downed a cup.
Xue Yaoguang was pleased to hear Li Se's words and drank a cup with him.
Li Se wanted to please Xue Yaoguang, so he made a point of coaxing her. Xue Yaoguang was a talented and clever woman, and the two chatted happily about everything under the sun. Xue Yaoguang had always been fond of Li Se, and now that she could be alone with him, her feelings for him deepened.
It's important to understand that when romantic feelings between men and women first begin, they are inevitably tinged with utilitarian motives, such as being attracted to someone's talent, wealth, or appearance. Once love is established, these factors become less important. The same applies to other factors like feelings developing over time, being moved by a particular event or circumstance. Before falling in love, a person is usually very critical, but once they realize they've fallen in love, those previous flaws become insignificant.
Xue Yaoguang was arrogant and perhaps initially curious about Li Se, but then suddenly discovered that he resembled her father, and unknowingly fell in love with him. Therefore, even now that she understands him, how could she so easily stop loving him? Moreover, there are still many things about Li Se that Xue Yaoguang doesn't understand, so she remains greatly fascinated by him.
The two chatted and laughed happily until the moon was high in the sky. Suddenly, Li Se remembered what Liang Gongchang had asked him to do. Because he was familiar with Xue Yaoguang, like an old friend, he smiled and said, "Miss, I have something I need your help with."
Xue Yaoguang scolded, "Didn't I tell you to call me Yaoguang? You've forgotten again. You should be punished with a cup of wine." As she spoke, she raised a cup of wine.
Li Se laughed and said, "That's right, I should be punished with a drink." He then drank the wine from Xue Yaoguang's hand.
Xue Yaoguang's face was flushed with the smell of alcohol, and she looked even more alluring under the lamplight. She smiled and asked, "Brother, is there anything I can help you with?"
Li Se took out a piece of white cloth and said, "Please bite your cheek until it bleeds, and then smear some blood on this cloth for me! I feel so bad for making you suffer, but I have no choice. Please forgive me."
Xue Yaoguang was extremely intelligent, but she was still a young girl, and she didn't understand what use Li Se would be after she asked her to do this!
Xue Yaoguang thought for a while, but still couldn't figure it out, so she said, "Brother Li, what is your intention in asking me to do this? I have no idea! I want to know, please tell me!"
Li Se stammered, his face turning red, and he couldn't utter a single word. Finally, he simply said, "Just do as I say. Why ask so many questions?"
Upon hearing this, Xue Yaoguang's face darkened, and she said, "Fine, you can handle this yourself. I'm sleepy and want to go to sleep." After saying that, Xue Yaoguang went to the bedside and lay down to sleep.
Li Se secretly blamed himself for being rash, but should he really tell her the truth?
Li Se hesitated for a moment, then walked to the bedside and said with a forced smile, "Yaoguang, I know you're afraid of pain, but I'm doing this for your own good..."
Xue Yaoguang, with her back to Li Se and without turning around, said, "I'm not afraid of pain! Humph! For my own good? How come I don't know? I can't accept your kindness for no reason."
李瑟见薛瑶光生气了，知道若不让她清楚原因，她是不会帮忙的。如果要是用他自己的血，那些家伙精明的很，一定能瞧出破绽。
李瑟越想越气，怒道：“这几个家伙，真是叫人厌烦，若不是看在花前辈和我刀君一派有些渊源的份儿上，我真想杀了他们。梁弓长那死家伙说处子血可以炼制丹药，说你资质绝佳，定要你的红丸。姑娘冰清玉洁，岂可受他们的侮辱，因此我想要姑娘骗骗他们算了。如若要我用自己的血，原无不可，可是多半骗不过他们……”
薛瑶光忽地用蚊子一样的声音道：“那……那如果我不答应，你有什么别的办法做到吗？”
李瑟失声道：“什么？”隐约猜到了薛瑶光的深意，不过立即暗骂自己卑鄙，忙道：“这个……别的办法我可不知，姑娘还是按我说的来吧！或者你有什么别的好办法不成？”
薛瑶光道：“我不知道，不过要我咬自己，我可不干！”
李瑟怔住，柔声道：“瑶光，你不要因小失大，请帮我这个忙吧！”
薛瑶光却道：“你才因小失大，你不用再说了，我一定不会那么做的。”
李瑟呆住了，见薛瑶光背着他，也不理他，似乎生气了，就道：“莫非你生气了吗？”
薛瑶光道：“是呀！你才知道吗？”
李瑟奇道：“那为什么啊！你可是聪明贤慧，知书达礼的姑娘啊！你定是生那四个淫贼的气，我答应你，以后会替你报仇，整治得他们死去活来的。”
薛瑶光嗔道：“我才没生他们的气，他们几个粗人可不值得我生气。”
李瑟“啊”的一声，道：“那是生我的气了？”
薛瑶光道：“我可不敢，我是生我自己的气。”
李瑟奇道：“那为什么？”
薛瑶光道：“我气我自己丑啊！又没有魅力，一点也不吸引人。别人宁可作假，也不想睬我！我真是没用，难过的要死。”
薛瑶光的最后几句微不可闻，不过李瑟听了，可是宛如巨雷在耳边响起，一下惊呆了。
孪瑟颓然坐在椅上，可再不敢理会薛瑶光了，心里感慨万千，实在想不通薛瑶光如何会说出如此情深意重的话。女孩子若不是心甘情愿，情之所钟，断不会说出这样一番会带来严重后果的话。可是李瑟却如何处之？他已有两位爱人，就觉得每天忙碌不已，如果再沾惹上一位姑娘，那他可是生不如死了。这倒也罢了，李瑟是个宁可天下人负他，也不会负天下人的人，如果娶了薛瑶光，可是却没时间陪她，那他可是会内疚死的。再说薛瑶光那么聪明美丽，李瑟在她面前都觉得配不上她，因此是绝不想沾惹，兼且他和古香君两情如一，别的女子就算再美，他也不会动心。
李瑟想了一会儿，便不敢再搭理薛瑶光，心里只想着如何应付那四个淫贼的事情。渐渐地，屋中再无声息，薛瑶光似乎睡着了一样。
天渐渐亮了，曙光初露，李瑟一跃而起，把船划到岸边。四大淫贼早已等候多时，见船靠上岸来，无不欢声雷动。
李瑟让他们在外面等候，回到船舱，正想把想好的主意悄悄告诉薛瑶光，忽见那块白布已沾了血痕，不由大喜，见薛瑶光坐在床头，脸若冰霜，看不出是喜是忧。
李瑟见了薛瑶光的行动，就晓得她原谅了他，配合他的行动，当下一笑道：“瑶光，得罪了。请你还是再委屈配合我一下吧！‘嫂溺援之以手，权也’，请不要在意。”说完不等薛瑶光回答，一下把她拦腰抱起，大踏步就往外走。
薛瑶光一个冷不防，不由嘤咛一声，连耳根子都红透了。待到了外面，忽然见到了外面的人影，更是害羞，把头埋在李瑟的怀里，再也不肯抬头，在李瑟宽阔温暖的胸膛上意乱情迷，至于李瑟何以前倨后恭，更是想不透了。
李瑟把那块白布丢给梁弓长，也不说话，抱着薛瑶光径直去了，只听四人道：“恭送门主。”
到了一处僻静的地方，李瑟把薛瑶光放下。薛瑶光脸上的红潮未褪，坐在树下的石椅上，只是喘气。
李瑟道：“我怕那几人看出破绽，因此多有得罪，还望见谅。”
姑娘和妇人走路的姿态有些不同，一般有经验的人都可以看出来，四大淫贼是此中老手，自然可以看得出来，所以李瑟便把薛瑶光抱着离开了。至于以后会否被发现，那也是以后的事情了。
薛瑶光到底是女孩子，又沉浸在情欲之中，对李瑟的解释半懂不懂，心想：“他……他到底还是喜欢我，故意抱我呢！”如此想着，便害羞不说话。
李瑟见薛瑶光不说话，一味害羞，还欲再说，忽地林后转出一人，抚须朗声道：“人生自是有情痴，此事不关风与月。”说完之后哈哈大笑。
李瑟见来人四五十岁的样子，眼如日月，声若雷霆，鼻额如山岳，留着三寸短须，身材高大修长，其气度风韵，扬扬威势，大是迫人，如许英雄人物，李瑟看得呆了。
却听薛瑶光含羞叫道：“爹爹，您怎么来了？”
李瑟惊道：“薛冠带？”说完之后，就后悔了。李瑟自从前几日被他师叔道衍点化之后，心志定力非先前可比，不说坚强如铁石，也是相差不远。可是薛冠带气势实在惊人，李瑟心志被其所夺，竟然惊慌失措。
薛冠带对李瑟微微一笑，然后回身招了招手，远处走出两个婢女，搀着薛瑶光走了。薛冠带见薛瑶光频频回头观望，笑道：“乖女儿不必担心，我知道你的心事，还会把他怎么样不成？”薛瑶光这才含笑放心去了。
此时李瑟也是恢复了冷静，见薛瑶光去的远了，欠身行礼道：“薛伯伯安好，小子无状，请您海涵！”
薛冠带扫了李瑟一眼，笑道：“方今天下，少年英才无数，不过你的确是个很特别的人物，我观察了你很久，发觉你虽纵意鲜花丛中，但的确毫无动心，这点出乎老夫意料，就算我年轻时面对美女，也是不能毫不动心的。”
李瑟见薛冠带说话和蔼可亲，浑身舒服多了，不禁暗自佩服。薛冠带是名闻江湖的一代宗师，武功修为高深莫测。他开始时运足气势，力压李瑟，逼的李瑟惊讶出声，测出李瑟的修为深浅之后，便突地变换气势，又让人如沐春风，真是掌控自如，如此本事，果然叫人心惊。
李瑟暗自警惕，道：“前辈是一代宗师，能得见尊颜，小子真是三生有幸。小子做事糊涂，又颠三倒四的，前辈不治罪已属万幸，您的夸赞，可是万不敢领受。”同时心想：“薛冠带的威名绝不是凭空得来的，难怪薛瑶光两次轻易地被擒都有恃无恐，原来薛冠带都在暗中窥视，我要是真有什么异动，定会身首异处。京师高人甚多，几个淫贼还能平安无事，那都是多亏了我，他们真要做出什么坏事，此刻说不定性命已是不保。”
薛冠带道：“你行事颠三倒四也好，乱七八糟也罢，和我却没甚干系！只不过我是为了我的乖女儿才找上你了。否则就算你把京师闹了个底朝天，我也懒的瞧上你一眼。”
李瑟听了这话觉得奇怪，本来以为薛冠带侠名满江湖，定会是个正义人物，要是自己做了什么坏事，做为一代宗师，他还会坐视不理？
李瑟思之不明，拱手道：“请前辈训示。”
薛冠带道：“前些日子，我的乖女儿突然造访我的凝丝居，三年来，这是她第二次有事情问我。我还以为有什么大事，却见她来了只是低头不说话，还未开口脸就先红了。我的女儿掌管我薛家生意，官商兵武，各种人物都经常打交道，什么大事没见过？如今这副神情，是我以前未曾见过的。是呀！她十八岁啦！已是大姑娘啦！”
李瑟隐隐猜到，薛瑶光要和她爹爹谈论的事情，一定和他有关系，心里一叹。
薛冠带也叹了口气，接着道：“她说她喜欢上了一个有妇之夫，心里矛盾的紧，欲待远离，可是却很痛苦。也许，她是个要强的人，越是难度大的事情，越是叛逆的事情，她才喜欢做。”他说完这句话，转头盯着李瑟，眼睛澄清如水，晶莹剔透，道：“我一听之下，大是好奇，方今天下，能令我女儿如此动情的人物，到底是何模样，居然还是个有妇之夫！”
Unable to withstand Xue Guandai's gaze, as if he had been seen through, Li Se hurriedly cupped his hands and bowed his head, saying, "So, Senior wants to see me, is that right?"
Xue Guan said, "That's right. I've secretly checked on you a few times, but I'm very disappointed. I don't understand why Yao Guang likes you. You're too pedantic and lack courage. You're not my type."
Li Se breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this and said, "Senior is too proud to be worthy of your attention. I am neither virtuous nor capable enough to meet your standards, that is only natural. As for Miss Xue liking me, that must be a misunderstanding. Perhaps she is in the prime of her life and was just momentarily attracted to me. Maybe in a few days, she won't even remember who I am!"
Upon hearing this, Xue Guandai burst into laughter and said, "You don't need to portray yourself as so despicable. My daughter likes you, and she has her reasons. She asked me what to do, and I told her, if she likes it, then do it!"
Li Se exclaimed in surprise, "What? It's fine if I don't meet your standards, but I already have a wife. Why do you say that?"
Xue Guan sneered, "What? You can have three wives and four concubines, but my daughter can't like someone? Whoever you are! As long as my daughter likes you, that's enough. When she stops loving you, she will naturally leave you. Otherwise, the further away she is from you, the less she will discover your flaws. That way, she will love you more, but she will also be more miserable."
Li Se said, "But only after experiencing pain can one learn to cherish feelings. Senior let Yao Guang get close to me, which may make her feel happy temporarily, but the pain will come later. When she finds out that she doesn't love me anymore, can she still choose a new life?"
Even in modern times, a woman who has lost her virginity and remarries faces many restrictions in pursuing love; this is even more true in ancient times.
Xue Guan laughed loudly, then his face darkened, and he said coldly, "Why not? If she doesn't like you anymore, she will naturally go and find new happiness. Does she think she will remain chaste for you for the rest of her life? Do you think those hypocrites who fool fools and deceive the ignorant do think they can fool my daughter? Since men can have three wives and four concubines and do whatever they want, why can't women? Do you think that if a woman chooses a man, she has to gamble her whole life on him?"
Li Se was a clever man who didn't care much for so-called worldly laws and customs. However, since he was living in the mortal world, he inevitably used worldly laws and customs as a standard to judge people. Now, after hearing Xue Guandai's unconventional words, he immediately understood his thoughts and thought, "That's right, I was indeed thinking wrong before. What's the difference between men and women? Why should I burden myself with so many unnecessary burdens? They have the right to pursue happiness. If they find that what they have is not happiness, then they will naturally go and search for it again. They are all exceptionally intelligent and clever women, incomparable to other women."
Xue Guandai continued, "As the saying goes, 'Husbands and wives are like birds in the same forest; when disaster strikes, they fly away separately.' This saying has been passed down through the ages and is considered a truth, revealing much helplessness in life and sorrow about human nature. But how many people have truly thought about it? Before marriage, men and women generally love each other and are mostly caring and considerate. But what about after marriage? Many men think that once they have married their wives, they can do whatever they want. They not only stop being caring and considerate, but even treat them like beasts of burden. Although they are restrained by children and family in daily life, they are not likely to change their minds. But once something important happens, they will naturally think of themselves. This is no one else's fault but their own. The so-called cause and effect, retribution, is very true."
Whenever Li Se met a wise person and heard their words, it was as if he had entered another world. Now, after hearing Xue Guandai's words, he was also shocked.
Seeing that Li Se was stunned by what he had said, Xue Guandai stroked his beard and pondered for a while before finally saying, "You should take care of yourself in the future! Love is unpredictable. Don't be unaware of your good fortune when you are in it, or you will regret it when you lose it! Enjoy life to the fullest when you are successful, and don't let your golden goblet face the moon empty." After saying that, he drifted away.
