Overall, this one Technique created by his brother caused such a massive chain reaction that it became a disastrous storm that swept across the entire Central Plains.
Men from all walks of life began practicing celibacy, only going to bed with a woman unless they were sure they wanted to get married.
However, a good thing that came out of this was that the rate of women being assaulted had plummeted, becoming nearly zero. Which, Xiao Mo found out was his brother's true intention, since those maids who suffered at the Peng Clan's Young Master's hands were unwilling participants.
So, given the commotion that occurred, as well as the fact that his Second Brother loved distributing Techniques by the dozen each month back then, Xiao Mo shouldn't have been surprised he stumbled upon one of those Techniques in the Northern Wasteland's Demonic Cult.
But never did he think the daughter of the Cult Leader would try to use this Technique on him.
Suddenly, Xiao Mo realized something, and he couldn't help but frown.
"Is that why she was probing my cultivation before, to see if I could cultivate? But why use this Technique on me?"
After a bit of thought, Xiao Mo deduced two reasons why this girl would want to use this Technique on him.
"The first is that she really is a vixen and wants to trap me in a relationship where I can only be with her. The second possibility is that she just wants to make me impotent! Second Brother had said that there was a flaw in the Technique."
Regarding this flaw, it was discovered that if a woman could get a man unconscious, they could forcefully circulate the man's Spiritual Qi through his meridians by following the Circulation Method of the Technique in reverse, and what that would do is make the man impotent without tying his libido to any specific Spiritual Qi or lifeforce.
In other words, this would simply make the man impotent.
Even though this condition was reversible, that was only possible if the person who circulated the Technique through the man's meridians in reverse, circulated it in the correct way eight times with a period of two days between the first and second day, before doubling the days all the way to the eighth circulation, which totaled nine months.
The man could also not cultivate during this time making the situation even grimmer.
Thinking of all this, Xiao Mo's anger flared once more, and he raised his hand about to toss the manual across the room. However, he recalled this was something created by his Second Brother— and that made him lower his hand.
After putting the Severing Dual Cultivation Technique manual off to the side on the bed, Xiao Mo turned to look at his fiancée with a grim expression.
"Such a cunning Demoness! Trying to turn me impotent? *Huff*"
After snorting, Xiao Mo climbed up onto the bed to sit on his fiancée's thighs; his gaze locked onto her belt that was tightly secured around her waist.
Xiao Mo truly wasn't someone who took pleasure in taking advantage of others. His brother had already given him enough trauma for a lifetime for him to turn around and subject that to someone else.
What was more, he unfortunately knew from firsthand experience how demeaning it was to have someone ogle and worse, fondle his body unwillingly. So, of course, Xiao Mo felt bad for going through with his shameless plan.
But that was before, and this was now.
Right now, Xiao Mo had no qualms about going through with his plan after finding out what this girl was plotting. He didn't know which one of the two reasons it was, whether this girl brought him to her room to devour him, or she had been acting friendly with him while secretly plotting to make him impotent. But whichever one it was, if it was compared to what he had planned, her own was far more outrageous!
Now straddling his fiancée's thighs, Xiao Mo pulled out a green jade slip from his robes. After placing it between his lips, he reached for her waist belt to unfasten it.
As for why he was doing this, that was simple. He planned to strip her clothes off!
Xiao Mo knew that his father was never going to cancel this marriage no matter what he did. Even if he had crippled those Young Clan Heirs of the Demonic Cult, the marriage might still go through.
So, rather than resisting his father or trying to anger the Demonic Cult to the point of canceling the marriage, Xiao Mo decided to focus on his fiancée.
From the information he read about Mai Ying and her personality, it was stated that she was extremely close to her mother, the Cult Leader. So, Xiao Mo knew that there was a strong possibility that despite any outward reluctance to marry him, she might still go through it if his father threatened to act against the Cult.
So, all he needed to do was crush that slight possibility of her agreeing even under his father's pressure.
How would he do that? Simple. Xiao Mo would turn into her nightmare!
He was going to undress her and then use a jade slip to 'capture' images of her. Afterward, he would 'threaten' to spread them if she ever agreed to marry him.
But once again, he wasn't some heartless person, and he wouldn't feel comfortable subjecting someone to that. So, Xiao Mo had initially planned to just strip her clothes off while closing his eyes and then claim he had embarrassing images of her without actually taking them.
However, that was before, but now Xiao Mo was furious!
He wasn't even concerned about annulling the marriage at this point, instead he just wanted to payback this Demoness!
Sure, his brother's teasing had made him sympathetic to others plight, but it also made him intolerant of people who wish to do him harm!
With the jade slip in his mouth, and hands working fast, it didn't take long for Xiao Mo to loosen his fiancée's waist belt. However, as he was unfurling the two ends of the waist belt, the back of his hand suddenly brushed against something.
"Hm?"
Looking down, Xiao Mo saw that his fingers were just below his fiancée's navel. But coming to this realization made him confused beyond belief.
"Is she hiding something in here?"
Xiao Mo stopped what he was doing to pat down where he felt the foreign object.
