Godslayer: A random filename extension?

"Cao Yuan, let me ask you, isn't the ant queen beautiful?"

Cao Yuan blinked, then exchanged a glance with the Queen Ant.

"The Ant Girl is beautiful, one of the most beautiful women I have ever seen in my life."

Cao Yuan answered without even thinking too much.

"So, is there something about her that you don't like, or that doesn't satisfy you?"

Cao Yuan shook his head and said no, how could Ant Girl not be likable? At least in his eyes, she was a perfect girl.

"then you……"

"I know what you want to ask, Brother Lin, or what you're gossiping about."

Cao Yuan may be a little dull in normal times, but he is not mentally challenged. Even if he were, he had been away from the temple for so long, wandering in the mortal world, studying diligently in the boundless sea of ​​knowledge, and experiencing the trials of heavenly tribulations.

He's not completely clueless, or unable to understand what people are gossiping about.

"My master said that if one only has lust that begins with the physical body, it is nothing more than a demon that disturbs the mind."

"Only when there is a deep connection that begins with the heart can the lust aroused by the physical body be imbued with a true soul."

"This is the true meaning of 'form is emptiness, emptiness is form.' Those who wish to be drunk need no wine; wine does not intoxicate, people intoxicate themselves. Even if those who are not drunk drink the finest wine, it is still not as good as a blow to the back of the head."

Lin Linhou: ...

Okay, he roughly understood what the other person meant.

That means you want to prove your sincerity first before you accept and enjoy the embellishment that beauty brings, right?

But their relationship is now more like that of a couple than a couple, except they're not actually lovers. Haven't they reached the point where they're sure where their true feelings lie?

Wait a minute, something seems to be missing.

"Hey? Then... Cao Yuan, do you know what true liking or true love feels like?"

You must have a standard to uphold your true nature.

Sometimes you can't set your standards too high. The queen ant has to serve you diligently every day. The former queen of the ant tribe is now slowly learning to be both elegant in public and capable in the kitchen.

You also said that the other person is extremely good-looking, and even has a near-perfect image in your mind. Then you told me that you don't think you really think you've fallen for her.

Cao Yuan: ?_?……

(′???`) Um...

(ー`′ー)emmm……

Lin Linhou: ( ??_? ?)?

"You haven't... thought about this question, have you?"

Upon hearing this, Cao Yuan felt utterly bewildered.

He seemed genuinely to have never considered that point.

Yeah, what kind of feeling really means you like someone? I don't know and I've never thought about it.

It seems my master never taught me this before.

"My master only said that when the time is right, I will naturally follow my heart and act freely, without having to force it or search for it."

Lin Linhou: ?_?…Oh, I see. So that's where the problem lies.

Does that mean you've ignored all the feelings you had before, whether they were aroused by lust or passion, as if lust is emptiness, while on the other hand you're waiting for that so-called "real feeling"?

Waiting for the so-called "fate" to arrive will allow you to "act according to your heart," but the key is whether you give it the opportunity to act.

You keep thinking, "Wait for the signal, wait for the signal," but in the end, you don't even know what the signal actually is.

"You're pretty good too."

Fifth Star Bell: ('?') "6"

Lin Qiye: ( ??_? ?) "6"

An Qingyu: ( ??_? ?) "6"

Baili Pangpang: (???_????) "6"

Galan: (. ? ? ?.) "6...what does that mean? Never mind, I'll take one too."

Cao Yuan, on the other hand, fell into deep thought.

Upon seeing this scene, Lin Linhou sighed, shook his head, and rubbed his forehead.

It seems unrealistic to expect Cao Yuan to suddenly become enlightened.

With his personality, even if I arranged a huge harem for him, he would probably just stay quietly on the sidelines like a wooden fish.

As is well known, a wooden fish needs to be "knocked" by an outsider to make it ring.

The queen ant, however, seems unable to do this alone, and the reason... lies with herself.

And now, well, perhaps it really is time.

"Queen Ant, come here for a moment."

Upon hearing the order, the Queen Ant obediently came to Lin Linhou's side. Her state was actually similar to that of the previous Consort. Under the control of the contract, her target was Cao Yuan, but the ultimate control actually belonged to Lin Linhou.

Now, it's time to remove this shackle from the other party as well.
