Shui Bing'er's Surprise

Evening.

Shen Liuyu rushed into the dormitory carrying a huge pile of food. After setting it down, she made a beeline for the neighboring dorm, kicked the door open with a bang, and said in surprise:

"Bing'er, I have a Major Event to tell you! You'll definitely be interested!"

Shui Bing'er, who had just finished showering and was chatting with her Sister, was startled. Once she calmed down, she lightly patted her chest and glared at Shen Liuyu irritably.

"Shen Liuyu!! This is already the thirty-second time you've kicked open my dorm door! The previous eleven doors were all wrecked by you. Can't you be a little gentler?"

"Exactly, exactly! Sister Liuyu, you're so violent. Hehe, be careful nobody will want you in the future~"

Sitting beside Shui Bing'er, Shui Yue'er spoke mischievously, not forgetting to tease her good friend.

Shen Liuyu rolled her eyes, slammed the door shut, then sat across from Shui Bing'er and hurriedly said:

"Bing'er, I think I saw that pervert you mentioned..."

The moment she heard this, Shui Bing'er, who had been calm as still water, instantly perked up. Her already modest chest heaved violently as her fair jade-like hand grabbed Shen Liuyu by the wrist. She said fiercely:

"Tell me! Where did you see that pervert? I'm going to have a proper word with him..."

Nine-year-old Shui Bing'er had already grown into the likeness of a twelve- or thirteen-year-old girl. Her skin was fair, her delicate body had begun to develop graceful curves, and a faint fragrance lingered around her, utterly intoxicating.

Shui Yue'er instantly perked up as well, transforming into an eager spectator as she dragged over a little stool and sat down. Her bright eyes waited eagerly for what came next.

Shen Liuyu struggled twice, yet she actually could not break free from Shui Bing'er's grip. Shen Liuyu was somewhat stunned. She was a Soul Grandmaster, while Shui Bing'er was still only a Soul Master, yet she could not shake off Shui Bing'er's restraint...

That was a little discouraging...

Shen Liuyu was feeling dejected, but when she thought of the embarrassing incident involving her suspected Older Brother and Shui Bing'er, her spirits immediately rose again.

"Bing'er, was the person you mentioned very handsome and tall, with bluish-purple hair, deep eyes, a cold aura, but also a sense of unfathomable depth about him...?"

The more Shen Liuyu spoke, the more excited Shui Bing'er became. In the end, she blurted out:

"That's him, that's him... that... that pervert! He actually dared to hug me directly, and he even... even... I... Aahhh..."

Shui Bing'er: ＼(`Δ')／

Shui Yue'er: ()

Shen Liuyu: !?

After the three of them had calmed down somewhat, Shui Bing'er touched her slightly burning face and asked directly:

"Liuyu, please tell me where this person is. I want to meet him..."

Shen Liuyu smiled mysteriously, wrapped an arm around Shui Yue'er's waist, and flashed a brilliant grin.

"Good Bing'er, call me good Sister, then beg me a little. Sister will tell you, all right?"

Shui Bing'er suddenly froze. Then, unexpectedly, she said in a slightly pitiful tone:

"Liuyu~ You're the best, aren't you? Don't be like this, okay...?"

Shui Yue'er held back her laughter as she watched the interaction between the two.

Seeing that playing pitiful did not work, Shui Bing'er could only say helplessly:

"Shen Liuyu, I've truly realized it—you're just as perverted as that pervert. Anyone who didn't know better would think you two were biological siblings..."

Shen Liuyu's smile paused for a moment, then became even more radiant as she said unhurriedly:

"Bing'er, I'll give you ten seconds to consider it. If you call me that, I'll personally take you to find him. If not, you might never be able to resolve this obsession of yours for the rest of your life~ Think carefully. Hehe..."

Shui Bing'er rolled her eyes, then reluctantly called out in a low voice:

"Good Sister, please tell me quickly. I really want to know where that person is..."

Shui Yue'er looked astonished, seemingly never expecting her usually aloof and composed Sister to lower herself and say something like that.

Although the sisters usually teased one another, they always knew when to stop. It was rare for things to become so... so... suggestive...

Shen Liuyu nodded in satisfaction, then extended a small foot clad in a white sock before Shui Bing'er.

"Massage this young lady's foot. After class tomorrow, I'll personally take you to find him."

Looking at the little foot in its white lace sock, Shui Bing'er said with feigned disgust:

"Ew... Shen Liuyu! Did you skip washing your feet again? And you want me to massage them? Keep dreaming..."

A moment later, Shen Liuyu looked at the obedient Shui Bing'er massaging her foot and burst out laughing.

"Hahahaha, Bing'er, look~ My dreams really do come true~"

Shui Bing'er's little face was red as she kept telling herself to endure it. She had to see that person, and then... then what was she supposed to do?

Shui Bing'er suddenly felt a little lost again, but after a moment, she got over it.

Meeting him would ultimately be a good thing. Otherwise, what happened back then had already become an obsession in her heart, which would be very detrimental to future breakthroughs into higher realms. Besides, that person really was very handsome...

At that moment, Shen Hanyu was leisurely loafing around in the courtyard he had bought. Tian Meng lay alone in silkworm form on a reclining chair nearby, basking in the sun, while Shen Hanyu sat in front of the door meditating with nothing better to do. Yet his eyelid kept twitching for no reason, giving him an ominous feeling, as though something was about to happen.

"Tian Meng! Do you sense anything unusual?"

Still uneasy, Shen Hanyu asked Tian Meng.

Tian Meng looked at the sun and replied lazily:

"Today's sun is hotter than yesterday's. Does that count?"

Shen Hanyu's mouth twitched. He silently stopped paying attention to Tian Meng and walked alone beneath an ancient tree in the courtyard.

The residence was a two-story wooden building covered in flowers and plants. From a distance, it looked just like a castle from a dream.

This ancient tree was called an Evergreen Tree. It was already considered a century-old Soul Beast, but its temperament was extremely gentle, and it had no possibility of attacking other living creatures at all. Thus, it had been planted in the courtyard as an ornamental tree.

The original owner of this residence had been a powerful female plant-type Soul Sage. Later, due to certain circumstances, she moved to Heaven Dou City. The residence changed hands several times before finally ending up with Shen Hanyu.

The Evergreen Tree spread over a range of more than fifty meters. Its branches and leaves were luxuriant, with massive limbs stretching everywhere. One could even walk directly along them. From the second-floor balcony, one could step straight onto the area where three thick branches overlapped beneath the canopy. Shen Hanyu simply built a small pavilion there and used it as a shaded resting place.

A residence like this was already the dream of countless people—fresh, elegant, distinctive. It was simply his dream home.

After thinking it over for a long time, Shen Hanyu still felt that something was off. In the end, helplessly, he returned to his room to cultivate. At least that would put his mind at ease and keep him from being troubled by trivial matters...

Tian Meng glanced at Shen Hanyu, sighed softly, and continued basking in the sunlight filtering through the gaps...
