The world works on the principle of balance.
The Pygmalion effect!
Let's, say there was a sports teacher and two students.
After seeing one student the teacher thinks one student is made for sports!
He promotes and supports that student, and as a result, the student thinks that his teacher is very good.
He also cooperates with his teacher and gives his best, and as a result, his performance will increase.
His increase in performance will further strengthen the teacher's belief that the first student was made for sports.
As for the second student, the teacher believes
that he is useless.
Seeing the attitude of the teacher towards him, the second student frown and get angry, and he starts non-cooperating behavior.
As a result, his performance in sports is bad, which further strengthens the teacher's beliefs about the second student.
This is the pygmalion effect.
Our beliefs about another person influence our actions toward that person.
Our actions toward another person form the belief of another person towards us.
Based on his beliefs the other person act towards us.
Through the actions of other person out beliefs are further strengthened
[A/N: I want you to understand the pygmalion effect in depth, so there are three more personal examples from here. It affects your life far more than you can imagine.]
Why it is always said, to give others unconditionally and that you will get what you want?
Without giving, you can't get.
Are the people who say so are selfless?
No, they are wise...
This is also because of the pygmalion effect.
Let's say there was a person named John, he was a contractor.
He was self-centered, he wanted things from others but don't want to give anything in return until he receives something from them.
One day, Adam approaches John and asks for help, he has nothing to give to John right now but promises to give in the future.
John of course declines him because Adam has nothing to give. His belief in being self-centered defines his action toward Adam.
Now Adam forms his own belief about John being a selfish person by John's actions towards him.
Another day, John needs an important contract, and the contractor is a friend of Adam, now John approach Adam, will Adam help him?
Of course not, which will further make John, even more, self-centered attitude.
This situation of deadlock happens in many relationships.
Now, take another situation, here John helps Adam, and not just Adam, many more of his business friends were helped by him unconditionally.
Now when any person approaches his friends asking for a good contractor, whom will they refer to?
They will refer to Adam because earlier he helped them without asking, now they must be feeling debt towards him.
As a result, business of Adam booms.
In another situation, there was a child named Erick.
Four months were remaining before his exams.
He has planned that he will study from today night, but what happens is that his father comes in the afternoon and scold him for not studying despite exams being so near.
Due to his father's scolding, Erick decided not to study today, but start tomorrow.
It was never that Eric did not want to study, but since his father scolded him earlier, he believed that if he follows his father's words and studied today, his father would think he is studying due to his scolding.
While Eric's belief was never to study until you want to study, he did not want to break his belief.
But the same thing follows another day and Eric postpones it again... And the day after it...
Before long exams are near but Erick hasn't studied at all.
This is also the pygmalion effect.
[A/N: Examples over, ahem Erick was me and it was not fictional it happened to me once, though I realized the reason behind my behavior only when I studied psychology.]
Now, what has the pygmalion effect to do with today's society?
Well, women want more rights, same as men ... They would indeed get it.
But are they ready to take the same responsibility as well?
Are they ready for the pygmalion effect?
Are they ready for listening, 'save men and children first' when there is a fire?
Are they ready to leave their existing rights?
Suddenly, Xia Tian's body shook as his sinister laugh echoed.
Li Nan flinched.
She was unable to react.
Xia Tian's words were too heavy for her, she always viewed the world from her own perspective never from any other perspective.
"You wanted to know my plans about Long Tian, don't you?" he asked.
Then, without giving her any time, he caught her shoulders and pushed her to the edge of the deck.
His eyes stared at her, making her shudder.
"I will destroy him! Take everything which belongs to him... I will because I can!"
"....You liked your brother Long a lot, don't you Li Nan...?"
His words made Li Nan stare speechlessly at her, she wanted to deny but she didn't.
Of course, she does like Long Tian, else why would she come here to ask Xia Tian's plans for him?
Xia Tian had long guessed her purpose for coming here, she hated Xia Tian because of Ye Siyun.
Ye Suyin was Long Tian's fiance, and now Xia Tian tricked her which made Li Nan very enraged.
Compared with her bias against men, he became even more unpleasing to her.
Li Nan was never interested when Xia Tian talked about himself, Ye Suyin, or her.
But whenever Long Tian was mentioned Li Nan's eyes got serious as if she will not miss a single detail.
Our subtle actions give away about us, far more than we can imagine.
Be careful when facing the old man, they are very receptive to these involuntary actions.
After all, they have observed these actions for years.
Xia Tian extended his hand and grabbed a locket on her neck. "Is this given by him?"
It was a green locket, it could tell Long Tian about Li Nan if ever her life is in danger.
Without a second thought, Xia Tian crushed the locket.
Li Nan grimaced.
It was the only thing that reminded her of him, now it was destroyed by Xia Tian.
How can Xia Tian didn't know the purpose of the locket?
The locket was working as an anchor point for her memories of Long Tian.
We don't give presents for no reason, presents like this one many times work as an anchor point for the memories associated with them.
For Li Nan, whenever she looked at the locket it remind her of her time spent with Long Tian, this way she was never able to forget him.
She associated the locket with the memories of Long Tian.
Long Tian must have thought it.
Let's say you go to a beach with your female friend, you spend a lot of fun time there.
Now, you want to further deepen the relationship with her.
Take a present like a seashell chain and give it to her, telling her that it represents their memories together.
Now every time the girl will look at the seashell she will be reminded of your presence. She will be reminded of those memories. The more she thinks the deeper she falls.
Now with the last memory of Long Tian gone, Li Nan has nothing remaining that she can associate with Long Tian.
She got angry.
But in front of Xia Tian's strength, she can only glare in anger.
Facing her intense gaze, a wicked smile formed on Xia Tian's face.
He pretended to be surprised.
"Oh, I forget to tell you your price."
"What price?" Li Nan spoke with a narrowed gaze. She was furious with him, but still retained her sanity. She knew she can't defeat him.
"I told you my plans for Long Tian, do you think it was free? Do you forget I will take everything away from him, it included you!"
"Let's make you a proper woman today."
Xia Tian spoke as his eyes stared at Li Nan's body from top to bottom.
Li Nan's expression turned grim, she was panicked.
Suddenly, her body turned hot.
She glanced down at her own body, to find herself, intensely sweating. Her skin was red as if burning with fire.
"What have you done?" she screamed.
Xia Tian chuckled.
This is the part he loves the most.
"In a few minutes, the aphrodisiac will act, now you have two options..."
Li Nan was frightened by his words because she can feel the heat killing her.
The woman was truly ignorant she was so lost in planning against Xia Tian, that she did not even see the bottle was different from the one carrying god-killing poison.
It was an aphrodisiac-filled bottle made by Isabella, which Xia Tian served her.
Even if she did spot that the bottle was changed then Xia Tian would have given the god-killing poison to her, so she would have died.
Regardless, her faith was sealed when she thought to play against Xia Tian.
Seeing the expression of horror on her face Xia Tian smiled.
"Option 1: Jump down the flying ship, your cultivation will not work, so you will die."
"Option 2: I am in front of you, let me teach you how to be an obedient woman today."
Xia Tian gave her two options and let her choose.
One side; her life?
vs
Another side; her arrogance and pride?
Would she crawl upon the legs of the man she hated?
Would she choose to hang in the air or his dick?
The choice was truly hers...
This is Xia Tian's way of playing with people...
The panicked Li Nan started looking around to escape from there.
Xia Tian sneered.
"Why don't you call your Long Tian for help?"
He sinisterly laughed seeing her helpless situation.
"Ahahhahhahhah...."
His clothes were already gone, as he was already naked, ready to teach a certain woman to be a woman.
"Haahhh..." Nyx sighed from above.
She was truly helpless when it comes to Xia Tian, he acted completely normal, but sometimes understanding him is hard.
Can't he just fuck her, why waste so much time?
Moonlight was shinning on two people bodies.
A naked man was madly laughing on the deck as his dick shook in front of an helpless woman.
The shadow of his dick was visible on the face of helpless woman was looking around in freight and horror.
Truly a brilliant scene.
Only Xia Tian can make something like this.
He loves giving choices to people!
Become his toy or die!
