Huh. The author probably wanted to flesh out the character a bit before getting to the farm stuff, but ended up with something that might rub some people the wrong way. I don't think it's a bad addition, but I guess I understand more why someone might have a bad reaction to it, even if I wouldn't.

Fun fact, Beware of Chicken wasn't supposed to be a xianxia parody, not initially. It was still supposed to be a character centric slice of life, but a Harem story as well. But it seems the story got away from the writer, people loved the MC's 'normality' (so the readerbase would hate Harem now), so the story never got to that, instead making Jin monogamous.

Fun fact #2, the story is also posted on some popular forum, can't recall which, and that version contains the NSFW scene which was cut from RR (and the published version too, I assume) chapters, in which Jin and Meimei have sex for the first time. That's probably the last remnant from the initial idea for the story.
