Gu Qingbo Was Dumbfounded: "No, Xuexue, What Did You Just Say?"

As Ning Hongye led the way, she casually chatted, "Most locals know that to the west and south of Skywater City, there are more than just one cliffside waterfall. The largest of them all is this place known as Skywater Waterfall."

At that point, she paused, because they had arrived at the Skywater Waterfall she had mentioned.

"This..."

Chen Yue's eyes widened as he looked at Skywater Waterfall, which poured down with the force of a river falling from the heavens. The corner of his mouth twitched.

With a spectacle like this, forget about having Xue Wu stand beneath the waterfall—even he, a Level 49 Soul Ancestor, would probably be blasted into mush by the onrushing torrent...

"Is there a slightly smaller one?"

Ning Hongye gave Chen Yue a somewhat strange look, but did not think much of it. She nodded. "Please follow me..."

At last, after spending an entire afternoon searching, Chen Yue found his ideal waterfall. This was one of Skywater Waterfall's branches, something like a smaller subsidiary waterfall. The water still rushed fiercely, but its force had been greatly weakened.

"Goodbye, Instructor Chen!"

Back in Skywater City.

Ning Shuangshuang looked at Chen Yue and excitedly waved her little hand. She felt that all afternoon, Chen Yue's lesson had been the only thing she understood; during all the other lessons, she had been practically dozing off.

"Goodbye, little one!"

Watching Ning Hongye carry Ning Shuangshuang away, the aunt and niece leaving together, Chen Yue stretched lazily and returned to his office. Only then did he discover that Xue Wu was lying on the sofa, fast asleep...

Chen Yue, "..."

Silently, he took a rag and wiped away the drool Xue Wu had left on the sofa armrest, where it had been dripping steadily downward. "Looks like this really can't be judged by common sense..."

Normally, pregnant women only began feeling sleepy at around six weeks. Yet this girl was, at most, two weeks along—perhaps only a little over one week... Logically speaking, she should not be this sleepy, right?

"Uncle! Uncle!"

At that moment, a familiar voice came from outside the door. Chen Yue's mouth twitched. Turning around, he happened to see Gu Qingbo running over with an eager expression. "Qingqing, keep it down!"

"Wow, Uncle, you're that amazing!?"

Who would have thought that after Gu Qingbo shut the door behind her, she would see the drool Xue Wu had dripped all over the floor and immediately freeze in shock!

Chen Yue, "..."

Xue Wu, who had just woken up, "..."

"What are you here for?"

Chen Yue's face darkened. This girl really feared the world was not chaotic enough!

"Um, I-I came to bring you food..."

Feeling Chen Yue's unfriendly gaze, Gu Qingbo gave an awkward laugh. "Well, well, I just saw Xuexue come over and was worried she might tire herself out..."

Xue Wu, "???"

What was I tired from?

She raised her head with a bewildered expression and looked at Gu Qingbo. "Qingqing, what's going on?"

"N-Nothing..."

Although Xue Wu found Gu Qingbo a little strange, she still nodded and said, "Qingqing, don't make jokes about my teacher anymore!"

Gu Qingbo, "???"

What!?

What did you say!?

Gu Qingbo's eyes widened as she stared at Xue Wu in confusion. "No, Xuexue, what did you just... say?"

"What are you talking about?"

Xue Wu gave a cold snort. "Qingqing, don't make jokes about my teacher anymore, understand?"

The knowledge imparted that afternoon had indeed benefited her immensely. Now, all she lacked was practical training, then putting it into practice!
