Damn, I turned into a monster

Chapter 239, Section 237: Excuse me, I have something to do.
Of course, it wasn't actually that exaggerated, but the two of them were indeed exchanging glances.

Wang Wu is a demon, and charming others is his basic skill or even an innate ability. It might not be noticeable in the demon race's own society, but in human society, this skill is very well displayed.

Up to now, Wang Wu has... well, not that many, actually just Luo Lan.

There was at least one on this ship. As for what happened below the ship, back on Ronglan Star, that kind of thing is unimportant.

While exchanging flirtatious glances with Wang Wu, Loran certainly didn't forget her primary duty. Although she was feared and resented by most of the fellow cultivators on the ship, her abilities were truly unquestionable.

"I am from the Luo Ting Sect."

After listening to Loran's speech for a while, Pei Wuji spoke to Wang Wu again, clearly showing that she also had some feelings for him, though not like in a certain great world...

To be honest, Pei Wuji is indeed prettier than Luo Lan, and his figure is obviously better than Luo Lan's, but that's not important, because Wang Wu doesn't want to provoke him.

However, out of politeness, Wang Wu would still give some of the appropriate responses.

But sometimes, well, how should I put it? Maybe just a polite, ordinary response is enough to make someone feel that you also have some good feelings towards them, and then they start talking non-stop with you.

However, Wang Wu did learn quite a bit from Pei Wuji, who had started talking.

For example, he had been very curious before that almost all of the people who came to participate in the initiation selection were cultivators from established sects.

Since there is a sect or school, why join this Qionglan Sect? It wasn't until Pei Wuji explained the situation to him that he realized it was similar to going to school back home.

Their local sects on their planet are like high schools, while sects like the Qionglan Sect are like universities.

After graduating from university, they will either return to their respective sects to take up positions or continue to stay in the Qionglan Sect.

Yes, the 'major sects' here are very similar to the universities back home. Everyone trains for decades in their local sects on their own planet, and then participates in the sect election, which is the general election for each major sect.

Then comes the process of entering a sect for further study, and once a certain level is reached, it is considered 'graduation'.

This graduation doesn't refer to reaching the highest level of cultivation, but rather to reaching a standard level within the Qiongyuan human power, which allows one to 'leave the mountain' and become free to do whatever one wants.

Given the choice between returning to one's hometown sect to take up a post or continuing to develop within the sect where one is pursuing further studies, most people would generally choose the latter.

That's right, I chose the latter.

Because everyone has talent, and the differences in individual talents determine how far they can go on this path.

Perhaps you are considered the pride of heaven on your own planet, but once you enter the Qionglan Sect, everyone is a pride of heaven just like you. Naturally, you will become just another ordinary person.

This is a very cruel reality.

However, before being confronted with this harsh reality, most cultivators who had not yet entered the path, or were about to enter, still harbored illusions about their future.

Humans have short lifespans, but their strength increases rapidly, although the demon race also progresses quite quickly. The idea that demons improve their cultivation level slower than humans is merely a stereotype in the Tianyuan Realm.

After all, that side is dominated by human forces. The demon race doesn't even have many major powers, nor does it have any large-scale civilizations. Their so-called society is nothing more than a city-state system, and they haven't even formed a loose federation.

Based on this, the demon race is naturally weaker than humans.

But in the space age, where space civilizations, demon empires, and human empires are able to stand on equal footing, the fact that the demon race, with its relatively small numbers, can occupy a position equal to that of the human race is enough to explain something.

The demon race is not weak, not at all, and the same goes for their talents. "So, Fellow Daoist Wang, you haven't..." After rambling on and on with Wang Wu, mainly answering his various questions, Pei Wushuang finally began to subtly probe into Wang Wu's private life.

“I have many wives,” Wang Wu replied directly. “Several, almost ten.”

"Is that all?"

These words startled Wang Wu, who then looked at Pei Wushuang.

But then he remembered something—something he had seen while he was on Ronglan Star.

The Qiongyuan civilization was also a polygamous civilization, and compared to the Tianyuan civilization, it was, how should I put it, far more exaggerated in this respect.

As for how exaggerated it was? Wang Wu didn't actually know, because he hadn't stayed on Ronglan Star for very long. However, from Pei Wushuang's words, he could tell that these nearly ten men were clearly the kind of men who were very 'devoted' to each other.

Yes, infatuation.

There are fewer than ten of them. If this isn't infatuation, then what is?

Faced with Pei Wuji's increasingly admiring gaze, which also carried a hint of other meanings, Wang Wu could only awkwardly turn his head away.

Now his opinion of this woman might need to change, because she's clearly not the type he initially thought she was. Or rather, she doesn't seem to care about having several female confidantes.

Even so, Wang Wu still had no intention of having anything happen with her, because his master had warned him not to waste too much time on such matters of love and sex.

An occasional chance encounter or a fleeting romance is fine, of course. But things like this, where it's clearly aimed at a long-term relationship, are very problematic. In short, it's a topic you absolutely shouldn't touch.

However, out of politeness, Wang Wu would still chat with Pei Wuji occasionally, but Pei Wuji could clearly sense that Wang Wu was not paying attention.

Even as the speech ended, seeing Pei Wuji still wanting to say something more, Wang Wu simply nodded to her.

"It's a pleasure to meet you, Miss Wuji, but I may have to leave now. Perhaps we can continue our conversation once we reach that giant star?"

"Uh, oh? Okay, okay!"

Pei Wuji was taken aback for a moment, then immediately nodded, her face showing excitement. Seeing her expression, Wang Wu knew that he might have said something wrong again.

I shouldn't have said that, I really shouldn't have said that.

But there's nothing he can do; he really doesn't have much experience in this area because he rarely refuses... cough cough, never mind.

"What are you still doing here? Come with me."

However, it must be said that the deal he made with a certain high-level cultivator earlier was somewhat useful, because at this moment, a voice suddenly rang out, pulling Wang Wu out of this awkward situation and helping him out of trouble.

Loran came up to Wang Wu and grabbed his hand. "Come on, we still have things to take care of. Don't think you can just run away like this."

"Um, this, this... I'm sorry, Miss Wuji."

And so, Wang Wu was pulled away by Luo Lan and quickly left Pei Wuji's side.

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, the day of the Qionglan Sect's entrance examination, or rather, the examination hall, arrived.
