Nah even cultivation master would get her IQ beaten down to single digit facing a qt like Dew, so yeah the reason is probably both "1" and "Clever"😉
There's a type of cultivation called "dual cultivation". This type is essentially coitus, though it is done by a guy and a girl due to the yin and yang energies or something like that. The energies being gender specific in this case.
I did once horrendously misjudge our distances and cut up my then GF now friend's lips with my braces. Close enough to losing balance right?
I currently have balance issues and being caught by my spouse when I fall is very romantic. But I've yet to accidentally kiss anything but the floor lol.
