Facing Li Dai's sudden, bizarrely warm smile, Fang Ailing's perpetually icy face finally cracked a little. The more she interacted with Li Dai, the more she realized how extraordinary she was. This extraordinariness wasn't just about her appearance and temperament; whenever she was with Li Dai, she never seemed to come out on top. The slight sense of superiority she had felt when she first transmigrated—especially after years of failing to finish off Gan Xirou or gain any advantage against Li Dai—had completely vanished. As for why she had become so impossibly charismatic and capable of catching the eye of so many male cultivators, only those closest to her knew the truth. Furthermore, the male cultivators she attracted, while talented, were either completely casual about matters of the heart or naive youths who knew nothing of love. Those with true grit and perseverance would never simply fall for her.
Perhaps one day those men would, too. The *Sutra of Bewitching Passions* stated that once cultivated to the absolute peak, one could beguile every male cultivator in the world. If she couldn't do it now, it was simply because her strength was still insufficient.
Beguile.
