According to a general survey in Huaxiu nation, the number of single cultivators in Huaxiu was increasing year by year. Currently, there were already more than one billion singles in the country. This was just the statistics for Huaxiu nation; if you looked at the whole world, the number of singles would probably be even more exaggerated.
If you looked deeper into it, there were all sorts of reasons why cultivators were single.
According to the results of the poll, the top three reasons for being single were … 1: Being addicted to being single. 2: Not willing to make do with it. 3: Realms and strength don't match, so they can't be "well-matched."
The first reason, which was also the one with the most votes, was actually very easy to explain.
Being addicted to being single.
After a person had been single for a long time, they would indeed get used to being single, and thus develop a psychological aversion to being in love. This was a psychological factor. Especially when people got older and passed the period of puberty where it was easy to be restless, there would be even less love stories where blood was shed in the heat of the moment … People who grew up, because of the factors of the social environment, would often think more complicated than they did in their youth. Even if they were in a relationship, many factors would be taken into consideration.
So rather than being complicated, it was better not to fall in love …
After falling in love, expenses would increase, and your freedom to live would be compressed to a certain extent as you would have to share everything with your other half.
People who weren't used to these troubles would rather be single. Over time, they would realize that being single really was pretty good! Especially those who had failed relationships before, they felt that being single was very comfortable.
The second reason was that they didn't want to make do with it.
This reason was actually very easy to understand.
After all, as long as cultivators were willing to maintain their figure and appearance, they could maintain their youthful appearance forever. Female cultivators didn't have to worry about their appearance gradually aging as they aged, so of course they were more eager to find their Mr. Right. It was the same for male cultivators. They felt that they could wait for something better, and believed that they could find their fated one, so they didn't want to find someone to make do with it.
Thus, whether it was male or female cultivators, they would just waste their time like this. As a result, time would drag on longer and longer, and in the end, they would become addicted to being single …
As for the third reason, it was actually very easy to understand.
Being well-matched had always been a concept since ancient times.
However, in the Cultivation World, this "well-matched match" did not simply refer to material equality, the matching of realms was also very important. According to the marriage law of the Cultivation World, when cultivators get married, the gap between their cultivation realms cannot exceed two realms. For example, if a Gold Core Stage cultivator wanted to fall in love, he couldn't look for a Body Refining Stage cultivator or a cultivator above the Soul Formation Stage …
That was because it was easy for things to go wrong in a relationship when there was a huge gap between their realms.
For Cultivators, age was no longer a problem in a relationship. Even if they were a few hundred years apart, as long as they liked each other, it was acceptable. But one's realm had to conform to the rules …
Over the years, accidents had happened to the Cultivators who fell in love across multiple levels because they didn't listen to the advice.
For example, Kiss of Death …
There was once a case where a Soul Formation Stage cultivator fell in love with a Body Refinement Stage cultivator, but because the difference in their realms was too great, when the two kissed, the Soul Formation Stage cultivator sucked out the Body Refinement Stage cultivator's tongue …
Hmm …
In short, there are many reasons for being single.
On the way home this time, Wang Ling's mood was a little more complicated.
Looking up information on the Singles Census on his phone, he seemed to be deep in thought.
Because of himself, Wang Ling believed that he had been a very sensitive person since he was young.
It was also because of this that he naturally understood Lotus Sun's feelings …
Unfortunately, according to the current marriage law of the Cultivation World, his right to fall in love had already been taken away.
So instead of thinking about these impossible things, Wang Ling felt that he might as well focus on the present, study hard, and work hard to find a way to completely control his strength.
Flowers may bloom again, but people will never be young again.
In fact, Wang Ling had long anticipated that a lot of people would definitely confess to him during his adolescence.
Thus, as early as when he was in junior high, he had written a spell called "Single's Curse" and cast it on himself. (Note: This spell is ineffective on married people.)
The specific manifestation of this spell was very simple: if you ran into someone who suddenly wanted to confess to you, the person's words would have nothing to do with your inner feelings.
But because Wang Ling had written this spell casually in junior high, it wasn't like it didn't have any bugs.
But because it was a passive spell, once it was cast, Wang Ling would only be able to determine where the bug was when the spell's effects were released. It was like an electronic program; programmers had to constantly test and discover the bugs in the program they had written, and then fix them bit by bit.
Wang Ling could only use other people's confessions to him since junior high to trigger the effects of "Single's Curse," and then fill in the holes in the spell bit by bit.
Wang Ling calculated that since the development of "Single's Curse," there had been no less than twenty people who had tried to confess to him since junior high, and he had repeatedly fixed the spell twenty times.
The large holes had basically been filled in, and there might still be some small, harmless problems …
Lotus Sun's attempt to confess to him just now had triggered the effects of "Single's Curse" for the twenty-first time.
Sitting on the spirit bus on the way home, Wang Ling sighed. It looked like he would have to keep an eye on Lotus Sun's reaction tomorrow.
He had already fixed "Single's Curse" twenty times, so there shouldn't be any major problems.
Wang Ling remembered that when this "Single's Curse" had first been developed, there had been a huge loophole, so when it was triggered, a temporary curse would be planted in the confessor's body … In the end, it would become a contagious curse spell. Furthermore, the method of infection was very simple: as long as there was skin contact, you would be infected by "Single's Curse."
In the end, before Wang Ling graduated, this spell directly led to the extremely "excellent" atmosphere in his junior high. Not a single person in the entire junior high department was in a relationship, and everyone was studying tirelessly.
In the end, even the young teachers in the school stopped dating, and were all engrossed in their teaching careers.
The junior high which Wang Ling had chosen was actually very ordinary, and the reason he had chosen No. 60 High was the same: the biggest goal was to keep a low profile.
And it was precisely because of Wang Ling's "Single's Curse" that everyone became obsessed with studying.
Their junior high's ranking in the entire city directly soared from the bottom to the top three in the city.
By the time Wang Ling graduated from junior high, his original high school had already been promoted to a key city junior high …
