Chapter 6: Past Troubles

All the disciples felt as if a goddess had appeared.

This beautiful women had smooth, flawless skin and eyes that seemed to radiate life itself. Her body was extremely well crafted, her black robes not able to hide her delicate curves and busom. With her long rosy-pink hair, she looked liked a delicate flower.

Sorin decided to look away.

Seeing all the gazes on her body, the girl had a naive expression. She was currently here to find a suitable technique for her as she recently reached the third level of Outer Assimilation.

As she briefly looked at her surroundings, her eyes were drawn to a figure. This boy had very eye-catching golden hair. And from his side profile, the girl thought that he was quite handsome. However, she was mostly interested in the fact that he didn't seem to care about her in the slightest.

He had noticed him looking at her, but instead of being enchanted by her peerless beauty, it was merely a glance of indifference!

Throughout her life, she has always been sought after by men. Her beauty was truly heaven defying. This was due to her innate talent: Spiritual Vitality. At birth, she had greater vitality than all of her peers. Vitality allowed one to have a perfect healthy body. They would age like fine wine. Moreover, as she kept improving herself as a Spirt Master, her beauty was always increasing.

Of course, she wasn't so naive as to think that these men weren't coveting her body. She just knew how to play with the heartstrings of men, and this naive expression simply worked too well!

Feeling interested on the golden haired youth, she walked up to him.

"Junior brother, can this sister help you with anything?"

Turning around to the voice, as expected, Sorin found the beautiful woman in front of him. This person...

Sorin was very familiar with...

In his past life, even though he had a good grasp on human emotions, he had actually been seduced by this person. It was the same as back then. He was someone that could easily control his desires so when he had ignored this woman, she became attracted towards him.

The more he kept distancing himself from her, the more she felt like it was a challenge to capture his heart.

Eventually, after being favoured by this 'goddess' for so long, Sorin had developed feelings for her. Everytime she helped him, give him resources, and protect him from jealous men, his heart had been swayed.

Sorin laughed in his heart whenever he thought of those moments in the beginning of his second life. Despite already living one life, he was still so naive and foolish.

After capturing his heart, the woman had lost interest in him. As an outer disciple that had relations with such a beauty, many were envious and gave him a hard time. In particular, another inner disciple truly despised him to the core, making his life miserable.

This woman was nothing more then a detestable vixen that really enjoys toying with men's emotions.

But now with his third life, all Sorin feels is tranquility and calmness. Something like vengeance wouldn't cloud his judgement. He wouldn't go out his way to hunt all of his previous enemies down just because they pursued him in his previous life.

But... if they got in the way of his interests, that'll be a different story.

After all, Sorin was truly aware. He chose that path as a demonic being. To be pursued by the world is simply something he had been prepared for.

He had been relentlessly chased in the final war as he had countless treasures. Such details were easily seen through and understood by him.

He understood human emotions and actions deeply. In this world, people pursued power, self satisfaction, life... these were just common desires amongst thousands.

Sorin's desires had been to survive initially, then his desires shifted to the true path after many tragedies.

In the pursuit of the true path, Sorin had nearly become someone completely detached. The countless experiences he's endured had made his will as unbreakable as Earth and as indomitable as Heaven.

If he had lived for 100 or 50 years longer, perhaps the emotions that chained him would've been fully eroded from his heart.

Now, all he has left is a miniscule capacity to care about others. In his past life, he only trusted 4 people: his family and his sworn brother. Each and every one of them had showed Sorin unconditional support throughout his life.

Sorin's eyes gazed at the girl.

Pondering silently for a short instance, Sorin spoke with a bright smile.

"Oh, senior sister! I was just looking at some techniques. After looking for so long, I think I found the perfect one!"

"Hehe, please just call me sister Stelle! My apologies, I thought you seemed to be in deep thought as if troubled so I thought you may have needed some help." Stelle replied, her eyes looking innocently at Sorin.

Sorin showed an expression of gratitude, not affected by her charm in the slightest as he said.

"You don't have to apologise! You only wanted to help. Since sister Stelle told me her name, my name is Sorin!"

"I see, hehe. Well junior brother, if you need my help, I'll definitely assist you as your senior sister." Stelle spoke with an enchanting smile. All the male disciples that were watching the scene felt green with envy. Why would such a beautiful inner disciple help some random nobody?! He wasn't even fully at the first stage of Outer Assimilation!

Sorin rubbed his nose slightly before replying, "Thank you! I will have to go now. I want to try out my new technique!"

After Sorin said those words, he walked out of the Heavenly Library. Seeing him leave such a beauty by herself, these men felt like they had been spit on their face. What they'd give to even talk to her yet the kid simply left!

Seeing Sorin's back, Stelle smiled. She thought that the kid was too innocent to be affected by her beauty. After thinking a little, she decided to make this junior brother fall for her. His appearance suited her tastes. Who knows, if he becomes talented in the future, she could get a little pawn that will do anything for her.

Thinking about this, she felt a burning fire rise in her heart.

...

Arriving back to his room, Sorin's face was expressionless. Truth be told, everything he did back there was to get her to become infatuated with him like his previous life.

In this life, he will be making good use of her. He already had plans for her, however, he hadn't expected to meet her so soon. But this was good either way.

He just had to be a little faster. Since this woman was pursuing him, Sorin was obviously going to be targeted by that inner disciple. Though, compared to his past life, he wasn't worried.
