Chapter 550 Shui Bing'er, Shui Yue'er, Shui Wuxiang
The leader of the elite student team sent by Tianshui Academy to Tiandou City to participate in the All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Competition is a beautiful woman in her thirties.
But time doesn't seem to have left many marks on her face; she still looks no different from a girl in her twenties.
The beautiful woman was about 1.7 meters tall, which is not considered tall among female Soul Masters.
However, she has an excellent figure, with graceful curves, a full and exquisite figure, sexy and alluring, and a gentle and charming temperament. Every gesture she makes reveals her true charm.
This beautiful woman was not Shui Wuyue, the mistress of the Shui family whom Ye Qifeng had met once in Blazing Fire City, but Shui Wuyue's own sister, Shui Wuxiang, who was also the deputy city lord of Tianshui City, the deputy dean of Tianshui Academy, and the deputy head of the Shui family.
Of course, she also has a special identity—Shui Bing'er's biological mother.
Shui Wuxiang is a Soul Saint with a Soul Power of Level 78. She wears a light blue dress and looks about 70-80% similar to Shui Bing'er.
However, her personality is completely different from Shui Bing'er's. Instead, she is closer to Shui Yue'er, the daughter of her biological sister Shui Wuyue. She is somewhat infatuated with handsome men.
This is one of the reasons why she was happy to share a husband with her own sister, Minazuki.
Their husband, Shui Bing'er and Shui Yue'er's father, was indeed quite handsome and strong. He was once the most outstanding handsome man in Tianshui City, but he died young.
Of course, her liking for handsome men is just a small hobby of Shui Wuxiang's personality, and it does not mean that she is a dissolute or promiscuous woman.
"Bing'er, don't immerse yourself in cultivation all the time. You need to relax your mind occasionally."
Shui Wuxiang leaned lazily against the seat of the carriage and spoke softly to her daughter, who had just sat down and was about to enter a meditative state.
The group from Tianshui College also traveled in three horse-drawn carriages.
Riding in the same car as the team leader, Shui Wuxiang, were two direct descendants of the Shui family, Shui Bing'er and Shui Yue'er.
There were two more carriages behind them, carrying the five official members of the Tianshui Academy team—Xue Wu, Qiu Ruoshui, Yu Hairou, Shen Liuyu, and Gu Qingbo—as well as four substitute members.
Seeing that her daughter seemed to have no intention of paying attention to her, Shui Wuxiang, who was lazily leaning against the couch, felt a little bored and couldn't help but sigh:
"Sigh, you're just too composed, too calm, and too strong-willed. You're nothing like me."
"Be as lively and cheerful as Yue'er. Play when you want to play, make a fuss when you want to make a fuss. Life should be enjoyed. What's the point of spending all your time cultivating yourself?"
Shui Wuxiang's voice was soft and gentle, with a languid and soothing quality. Her voice echoed in the carriage and clearly reached Shui Bing'er's ears, causing her beautiful eyebrows to tremble slightly.
Shui Bing'er is now eighteen years old. She is about the same height as her mother, Shui Wuxiang, at just over 1.7 meters. She also resembles her mother and has grown into a very beautiful young woman.
Her features were delicate, her face was as white as snow and as lustrous as jade. Her appearance was not particularly stunning, but she had a hazy and charming beauty that grew more beautiful the more you looked at her.
Like her mother, Shui Wuxiang, she had long, light blue hair and wore a light blue dress. Her figure was no less impressive than her mother's, but even more proportionate and fuller.
Listening to her mother's incessant nagging, Shui Bing'er felt helpless, but in the end she didn't open her eyes to respond to her even once, otherwise her mother might have gone even further.
That's just how my mother is. It's one thing for her to be lazy and playful, but she also tries to drag others down with her. When she sees others diligently cultivating themselves, she can't help but offer words of advice.
They spout off things like "Life is short, so seize the day," "Drink today, for tomorrow we may die," and "If you meet a handsome guy you like, you should pounce on him without hesitation," as if they won't stop until they've completely corrupted and worn down other people's minds.
There was one thing that Shui Bing'er couldn't understand: how her mother had cultivated to the Soul Saint realm and become the deputy head of the Shui family, the deputy city lord of Tianshui City, and the deputy dean of Tianshui Academy.
However, Shui Bing'er had a clear understanding of herself, unlike her mother Shui Wuxiang, who was lazy and playful.
I am essentially a calm, composed, and rational person who doesn't like to reveal my true feelings. I am also extremely competitive and don't easily admit defeat.
Since losing to his old rival, Huo Wu, several years ago—yes, the one he has since reconciled with—and with the help of the immortal herb Eight-Cornered Mystic Ice Grass bestowed upon him by the Holy Son of Night Seven Winds, he embarked on the same path as Huo Wu, and thus developed an even greater love for cultivation.
Of course, she wasn't trying to compete with Huo Wu; she just didn't want to fall behind, and also wanted to repay the kindness of Ye Qifeng.
To repay this kindness, one needs to be strong enough to support it. Therefore, one must work hard to cultivate oneself and become stronger in order to complete the task assigned by the other party.
In addition, having spent a lot of time with Huo Wu over the past few years, I seem to have picked up some of Huo Wu's habits. If I don't cultivate in my spare time, I always feel a bit itchy.
In addition, there is another extremely strange thing.
For some reason, he seemed to have some strange, inexplicable feeling about Saint Ye Qifeng.
Even though I didn't spend much time with him, I don't know why I have such a deep impression of him. His image often appears in my mind, and I often recall his voice and smile.
Could it be that the telepathic connection between the two immortal herbs, Fiery Apricot and Eight-Cornered Ice Grass, is causing Huo Wu's feelings for Ye Qifeng to transfer to her, affecting her thoughts and making her have that inexplicable feeling for him?
Oh no, we're doomed.
No, no, no, it's probably because Huo Wu keeps mentioning Ye Qifeng Saint in my ear that I have such a deep impression of him. It should only be temporary.
Speaking of which, every time she chats with Huo Wu, she really can't stop talking about Ye Qifeng, she's practically a lovesick fool. Her behavior is just like when her mother and Yue'er suddenly see a handsome guy, or even more outrageous.
Is this how you show you like someone?
Fortunately, I only think about it occasionally, unlike Huo Wu who shows it so obviously, so there should still be hope.
Shui Bing'er secretly breathed a sigh of relief, dispelling the chaotic thoughts in her mind, and decided to stop thinking about these things.
Her mother's nagging still echoed in her ears, but she ignored these "aggressive" words and began to concentrate her mind and enter a meditative state.
"Moon, do you think what your aunt just said was right?"
Seeing that her "magical attack" had no effect on Shui Bing'er, Shui Wuxiang became even more bored and finally turned her attention to another direct descendant of the Shui family in the carriage.
"Yes, yes, Auntie is right."
Shuiyue, who was idly watching the commotion from the sidelines, reacted quickly, jumping up from her seat without hesitation to clap her hands in praise and also offering a compliment.
Shui Yue'er was only seventeen years old at the time, the youngest girl in the entire group. She was petite, less than 1.7 meters tall, and a fist shorter than Shui Wuxiang and Shui Bing'er, the mother and daughter, who were also in the carriage.
Unlike Shui Bing'er's calm personality, she is extremely lively and cheerful, almost exactly like Shui Wuxiang. The two of them can actually get along better.
Shui Bing'er's personality is closer to Shui Yue'er's mother, Shui Wuyue, so Shui Bing'er's relationship with Shui Wuyue is much better than that with her biological mother, Shui Wuxiang.
This is precisely why the relationship between Shui Wuyue, Shui Wuxiang, Shui Bing'er, and Shui Yue'er becomes even more complex.
"Haha, as expected, Yue'er understands me best."
Hearing Shui Yue'er's tactful agreement, Shui Wuxiang giggled, her body trembling, and then opened her arms to Shui Yue'er:
"Moon, come here, let your auntie hug you. It's been so long since I've pampered my precious darling."
The innocent Shui Yue'er immediately let out a "woof" and, like a fledgling swallow nestled in Shui Wuxiang's arms, buried her head in the latter's full, soft bosom.
"My aunt is the best, hehe."
She was closest to her aunt; they had similar personalities and even the same aesthetic sense—they both liked handsome men.
"Moon, what's wrong with your sister? Why does she like cultivating so much?"
Holding the restless Shui Yue'er in her arms, Shui Wuxiang pointed at Shui Bing'er, who was sitting cross-legged in the carriage without moving, and asked in a suspicious tone:
"Do you think she was provoked by someone? She's never acted like this before."
"Ah, I don't know either."
Shuiyue shook her head, then began to think carefully:
"However, ever since my sister went to Blazing City to cultivate with Sister Fire Dance, she seems to have changed a bit. She seems to be becoming more and more like Sister Fire Dance. Sister Fire Dance is also a cultivation fanatic, just like my sister is now."
"Fire Dance?" Shui Wuxiang seemed to finally realize what was happening. "That little girl from the Fire Clan of Blazing Fire City?"
She slightly composed herself, straightened her posture, and pondered for a while before softly saying:
"That's indeed the case."
"Back then, Bing'er ate a celestial herb from the Holy Son of the Spirit Hall, and was later arranged to cultivate with that little girl from the Huo family. They ate and lived together, inseparable."
"It's normal to pick up some of the habits of that little girl from the Huo family after spending so much time together."
"That makes sense."
"Huh?" Shui Yue'er looked completely bewildered upon hearing Shui Wuxiang's words.
"Is there some hidden story behind this? How come I didn't know?"
"I thought it was just because my sister and Sister Huowu had reconciled and were now having normal exchanges between our two families. I didn't expect it to involve that Holy Son of the Spirit Hall?"
"You were too young to know back then, that's normal." Shui Wuxiang smiled slightly and reached out to rub Shui Yue'er's little head:
"Otherwise, where do you think your sister's sudden surge in strength came from? It's because she received benefits from that Holy Son of the Spirit Hall."
Shui Yue'er was completely stunned.
"Back then, your sister went to Blazing City to cultivate with that little girl from the Fire Clan. This was arranged by the Holy Son of the Spirit Hall. We had no choice and could not refuse."
As Shui Wuxiang spoke, her beautiful face gradually became serious and earnest:
"Accepting the benefits offered by that Holy Son and befriending the Spirit Hall would be extremely beneficial for both Bing'er and our Tianshui City."
"It is not appropriate to publicize the fact that our Tianshui City has ties with the Spirit Hall, so many details have been concealed. We only announce to the outside world that this is a normal exchange between our Tianshui City and Blazing Fire City."
"However, as a direct descendant of the Shui family, you are qualified to know about this matter, but remember, this is a family secret and must not be divulged, understand?"
When the topic turned to family secrets, Shui Yue'er's expression changed, and she quickly nodded solemnly:
"Yes, Auntie, I understand."
Next, the aunt and niece, who had a very special relationship, got together and whispered about many things, laughing throughout.
"By the way, Auntie, I heard that the Holy Son of the Spirit Hall is Sister Huo Wu's boyfriend. Rumor has it that he's incredibly handsome, did you know? Is he really that handsome?"
After a long while, Shui Yue'er, who was lying in Shui Wuxiang's arms and wriggling around like a worm, suddenly stopped and asked a question.
"That's the rumor, but I've never actually seen him."
When the topic turned to handsome young men, not only was Shui Yue'er excited and curious, but Shui Wuxiang was equally interested, her eyes even unconsciously lighting up.
"Wuyue has met that Holy Son once. Why don't you go back and ask her?"
"Then let's forget about it." Shuiyue shrank her neck and shook her little head. "If we turn back now, I'm afraid she'll freeze me into an icicle and then spank my bottom."
"Haha, are you that afraid of Mugetsu?"
Shui Wuxiang seemed to have been tickled, and she started shaking uncontrollably, showing no self-awareness as a Soul Saint or the dignity of a beautiful woman.
"I was scared!" Shuiyue'er began to complain with lingering fear. "Auntie, let me tell you, Mother is super fierce. Last time..."
Shui Wuxiang listened silently to Shui Yue'er's complaints, a faint smile on her face, but she didn't offer any opinions. To be honest, she was also quite intimidated by her calm, wise, and powerful older sister.
Finally, she changed the subject, saying:
"Speaking of which, that handsome young man, the Holy Son of the Spirit Hall, would be quite suitable to be a son-in-law."
"It's a pity that Bing'er is such a disappointment. She didn't know to strike first and was beaten to it by that little girl from the Huo family."
"If she were more ambitious, she could bring that handsome young saint home to me."
As she spoke, she subconsciously licked her red lips and then slurped up her saliva.
"Huh? Auntie, really? You're trying to steal Bing'er's man too?"
Shuiyue'er's eyes widened as if she had discovered some earth-shattering secret.
Shocked! I'm speechless!
