Chapter 316: Ch-316: Fuck..Is she a Yandare?

"This is my first time using this…" Min Li muttered as she entered the artificial mind space. She was immediately left speechless by how realistic it felt—except for the absence of spiritual energy, everything from the grass beneath her feet to the gentle breeze in the air was identical to the real world.

"No wonder Grandfather and even the royal family use this so often," Min Li mumbled as she started walking.

Yes, her family also had access to this artificial mind space. Normally, common people couldn’t enter so easily, but as a member of one of the Top Families in the capital, it was simple for her. However, she had never been interested in honing her combat skills and instead focused purely on increasing her cultivation.

After walking for some time, she encountered many users and even spotted a few people from the Min Family. However, she couldn’t find anyone from her sect.

"Huh? Isn’t that Disciple Wang Ming?" she mumbled, her gaze landing on the familiar, handsome man in the distance.

Her grandfather’s words suddenly echoed in her mind, and a mild blush appeared on her face. After hesitating for a moment, she finally made up her mind and approached him.

"Let’s check if the girls are here," Wang Ming muttered. He knew there were multiple beginner areas, meaning they could have spawned anywhere.

Wang Ming could feel numerous gazes on him, and some of them were far from friendly. Suddenly, he recalled something.

"System, are you there?" Wang Ming asked softly, aware that the elders were watching.

[ System Message: Yes, host ]

"Looks like I can still access it," Wang Ming muttered.

With a casual flick of his palm, another panel appeared in front of him—the capsule’s interface.

< Name: Wang Ming >

< Cultivation: 1st Stage of the Qi-Gathering Realm >

< Affiliation: Yang-Yin Sect >

"Disciple Wang Ming," a voice called out as Wang Ming felt a tap on his shoulder. Turning around, he was surprised to see who it was.

Wang Ming turned around and saw an extremely beautiful and familiar face—Min Li—who was looking at him with a smile.

"Oh, Disciple Min Li, it’s you. Who would have thought the first person I’d meet here would be you?" Wang Ming said in a tone of mild surprise.

"First person? So, you haven’t found your girls yet?" Min Li asked with a raised eyebrow, noticing that Bai Lingxi and the others were nowhere in sight.

"Hmm, I was looking for them. Did you see them?" Wang Ming asked.

"No, I think we’re the only two people from our sect in this area. I haven’t encountered a single person from our sect," Min Li said as she shook her head.

"I see," Wang Ming muttered. He was a bit worried about them, but he knew they were more than capable.

"Disciple Wang Ming, I have a question," Min Li said, a faint blush appearing on her face before she quickly pushed it down. Wang Ming raised an eyebrow, noticing her reaction.

"Do you have any plans to take on more Dao Partners?" Min Li asked in a calm voice, making Wang Ming’s eyes widen.

’Could it be?’ A faint smirk appeared on Wang Ming’s face as he guessed her intentions. He subtly observed her from top to bottom and realized that she was not inferior to his girls in terms of beauty or voluptuousness.

"Yes, if I’m interested, I will. Why? Do you want to be one?" Wang Ming asked. If this were his past life, he would have probably been slapped for being so direct, or people would cringe at his boldness. But this was the cultivation world, where people were far more straightforward. In terms of shamelessness, there were beings far greater than him—the most infamous being the creatures known as ’Young Masters.’

"Yes," Min Li said, her voice firm. She had already made up her mind.

"I mean, I don’t have a problem with a beauty like you being interested in me, but why all of a sudden?" Wang Ming asked, raising an eyebrow.

"You know, I’ve put in a lot of effort since childhood to cultivate. But despite all that effort, random girls in the sect have surpassed me just by Dual Cultivating with you. If I were to engage in Dual Cultivation, I’d rather pick the best—and that’s you. That’s one of the reasons," Min Li said in a nonchalant tone.

"Understandable. What about the second reason?" Wang Ming asked, finding her logic quite reasonable.

"The second reason? You’re probably the most handsome man I’ve ever seen," Min Li said with a seductive smile and a wink but suddenly her body trembled as she looked at Wang Ming.

His eyes were as deep as an abyss as he obsessively gazed at the young woman in front of him.

’Hehe, I always wanted to try this in real life and see a woman’s true reaction,’ Wang Ming thought as he activated a famous personality mode—one that was super effective against both women and men alike: the Yandere mode.

Gulp.

Min Li swallowed a mouthful of saliva, a strange, itchy sensation creeping up inside her as she stared into Wang Ming’s intense, obsessive gaze.

"You should know… if you become my Dao companion, I will own every inch of your body. You will be mine and mine alone. You won’t be able to run away from me. And if you do…" Wang Ming leaned in slightly, his voice dark and possessive. "I will catch you… lock you up… and pamper you."

"Y-Yes… I still want to," Min Li said with a flushed face.

What surprised Wang Ming, however, was that she had the same look in her eyes as he did—one filled with possessiveness. He stiffened.

’Holy—don’t tell me this woman is a real Yandere?!’ Wang Ming thought as a chill ran down his spine.

But he quickly calmed himself, his expression returning to normal.

"Hmm, good. If you understand," Wang Ming said, watching as Min Li slowly returned to her usual self.
