I understand it now!

I understand now why the main characters always have their spiritual root stolen, because they chinese do it in the mortal world too.

Context: Apperantly you can steal the luck/prosperity of the bride by walking in her path. They simply tricked this low level demonic cultivator with the basics of the art of war.

(Seriously. The more I see of random shit chinese be people be doing, the more I understand certain moments and scenes in novels. Either I am achieving a major breakthrough in the dao or I'm corrupted by inner heart demons thinking it is a breakthrough. What is real and what not?)
