Of course it's for him to lust over them.
Not being submissive does not mean being aggressive.

I feel like this Yu Yan is just a redundancy.
He should teach himself how not to get enthralled by women. Otherwise, his actions will have just made him sound hypocritical as that was what he's been doing all along.

What's irksome about these kinds of novels is that the author is too afraid to give their MCs cultivation bases as rewards. The MC is literally receiving cultivation techniques whose upper limit is beyond even the world the mc is in, yet such a meager cultivation increase is added alongside it. The problem here is that authors are confused with either having the MCs focus on fight (the reason why they limit the strength), or nurturing their disciples (which would have made invincibility at earlier chapters alright, as technically, the author can just excuse the mc not fighting with the reason of training the disciples).
