Chapter 47: Let's cheer for Mother Bai!
Shen Feiyan wanted to say something, but she kept quiet.
Forget it, I'm used to it. After all these years, I know Bai Muzhen perfectly well—her thought process is bizarre! She doesn't act like a proper young lady at all! She's so beautiful! The moment she opens her mouth, I lose all interest in her! Thinking about it, my own junior sister is much better!
Therefore, when Bai Muzhen is criticizing you, it's best to agree with her or simply shut up! You definitely can't win an argument with Bai Muzhen; she always manages to come up with some twisted logic that leaves her speechless!
She might only act like a mother in front of her daughter! Otherwise, calling Bai Muzhen a silly, goofy girl wouldn't be an exaggeration! Otherwise, would her title of "White-Haired Demoness" have come from nowhere? Didn't you hear Bai Yue tell Bai Muzhen's childhood stories… cough cough!
Bai Muzhen (???皿??)??3??: Ah—! You all know too much! Aunt Yue, you tell everyone everything!
After Bai Muzhen's few words, the atmosphere among everyone became more familiar. Originally, Bai Lang was a little nervous about the title of White-Haired Witch, and Shen Feiyan was known as a thief, which made the righteous young man somewhat displeased.
But now he discovers... that she's not as heinous as he imagined? She's just a woman who likes to play pranks, and a seemingly unkempt middle-aged man.
Bai Lang had also interacted with Bai Yuxiu and knew her personality. She was a well-educated and sensible young lady from a respectable family, able to distinguish right from wrong, and a bright and beautiful girl. She was a good person!
I was wondering how bad a mother could be who could raise a daughter like that. Now it seems that it's just hearsay in the martial arts world, exaggerating Bai Muzhen's behavior.
As for Feng Ling'er's petty theft habit, it has been greatly alleviated under Bai Yuxiu's care, and her behavior is now very law-abiding. Her main motto is: "I had no choice before, but now I just want to be a good person!"
“Li Muyang…hmm.” Bai Muzhen circled around Li Muyang, scrutinizing him carefully from head to toe. Suddenly, she clapped her hands in satisfaction: “Not bad! It seems my Xiuxiu has much better taste than Liu Mei! The man she picked…waaaah…”
Covering her mother's mouth, Bai Yuxiu's face turned bright red: "Mom, what nonsense are you talking about! Brother Li, please don't mind her! My mom just likes to talk nonsense!"
Shen Feiyan, who was caught in the crossfire, selectively ignored what she heard and turned to Bai Lang, the bystander, saying, "Hello, little brother!"
Bai Lang: Hello, Uncle!
Uncle… Shen Feiyan stroked her stubble. Well, considering Bai Lang’s seniority, it’s not wrong.
"Waaaaah, does Yuxiu hate me now~" No one expected that after Bai Muzhen went crazy, Li Muyang also started to go crazy, covering his face and pretending to cry, but the corners of his mouth that were exposed were obviously smiling.
Bai Yuxiu was both amused and exasperated: "Brother Li... please stop this!"
Feng Ling'er pulled Bai Yuxiu behind her, her expression wary, and said, "Well, I knew you were up to no good by getting close to my Xiuxiu! You've finally been exposed! With this great hero here, I'll protect Xiuxiu's purity... Ah!"
"Ling'er, stop making things worse! If you keep joking like this, I... I'm not going to talk to you today! And Brother Li! Don't learn bad things from me!" Bai Yuxiu's imposing aura dominated the entire scene; none of them were easy to deal with!
All I can say is that a bunch of scourges have finally revealed their true nature!
Amidst the chaos, Bai Muzhen cheerfully comforted her daughter while holding her close. Feng Ling'er had a bump on her head, and Li Muyang, without any emotion, used the Shennong Ruler to treat her.
"Is this the legendary Jade Kirin?" Bai Muzhen leaned closer again upon seeing this. "Muyang, look, let's make a deal. Can you lend me this divine beast for a few days? And I'll lend you Xiuxiu for a few days, how about that? As long as no one gets killed... Waaah!"
"Brother Li..." Covering her own mother, Bai Yuxiu was already showing signs of turning evil. Anyone who didn't know better would think that Hei Yuxiu had successfully possessed her. She said with a gloomy face.
Seeing this, Li Muyang realized he couldn't continue joking and quickly raised his hands in surrender to prove his innocence: "Don't worry! I definitely won't take it seriously! It was just a joke! Shennong Beast and Yuxiu are important friends and partners! They're not bargaining chips! This is no joke!"
Bai Yuxiu? (????w????)? She was showing signs of turning evil just now, but now she's instantly transformed into a steampunk princess! I was stunned and didn't know what to say for a moment.
Bai Muzhen watched this scene with a smile, and couldn't help but sigh in her heart, "Girls grow up and leave home."
Only Feng Ling'er felt jealous, feeling like she was superfluous!
"Um...may I ask, what do you mean by 'don't cause any deaths'?" Bai Lang whispered to Shen Feiyan beside him, "These two aren't going to kill anyone, are they?"
Shen Feiyan (￣y▽￣)~* smiled like an aunt: "Young man, it's better if you don't understand! Speaking of which, you're not faking it at your age, are you? You'll understand in time! Causing a death isn't just a matter of reducing the number of deaths!"
"How can it increase if it doesn't decrease..." As he spoke, the naive young man's face turned red. Clearly, he wasn't a complete novice and had already realized what was going on.
After all, following the Sword Maniac, Bai Lang had been to some... well, you know. Xiao Yi is a man of passion. He didn't cultivate the Heartless Sword, but rather belonged to the romantic type of sword cultivator. In other words, the anime "Feng Ling Yu Xiu" is only at the 8+ level, so some X18 content can't be shown.
Well, in short, thanks to White Mother for her help!
"Alright, alright, stop joking around. Yuxiu, just do what you want to do and don't be misled by your mother's words. As for Aunt Bai, you have to tell me what you want to do with the Shennong Beast, right?" Li Muyang broke the atmosphere when he saw the scene fall into an eerie silence.
Bai Yuxiu gradually came to her senses and caught her breath. Bai Muzhen rubbed her daughter and smiled, explaining, "Actually, it's nothing. I learned from Xiuxiu—don't blame her, it was me who asked—that you can neutralize the Red Sun Blood Poison. I have a few friends here who want your help in treating them."
"Of course, no problem!" Li Muyang said with a warm heart.
Bai Muzhen chuckled, "Hehehe, Young Master Li, tell me the truth, do you really not have any feelings for my Xiuxiu... Oh, Xiuxiu, don't hide it, Mother is just asking... Young Master Li, tell me the truth! I can make decisions here at home..."
Li Muyang replied with an upright expression, "Ahem! Aunt Bai, let me tell you the truth! In our area, there's a law that stipulates that only those over 18 are considered adults. If you want to get married, the man must be over 22 and the woman must be over 18! This is for the sake of their health! And we oppose arranged weddings! Please abide by the law!"
Bai Muzhen was taken aback at first, then smiled knowingly and nodded as if to say "I understand." She also temporarily avoided discussing the topic with her daughter.
Only a listless Bai Yuxiu remained. Sigh... having such a mother, I really don't know if it's a good thing or not! As for Li Muyang... Ugh... Brother Li, did he really take it seriously? If he really did... should I agree? Or agree? Or agree?
Yu Xiu blushed.
Wind Chime (′-i_-｀): People's hearts have changed!
To be honest, Bai Yuxiu and Feng Ling'er are already 17 years old, just one year away from becoming adults!
After joking around for a while, Bai Muzhen and Shen Feiyan both expressed interest in the new system and wanted to learn from it... Bai's mother was still very straightforward; she was simply envious of Bai Yue's cultivation progress and wanted to switch to the new system!
That's interesting! It actually worked?
The results are obvious! Who wouldn't want to join?
I was just asking for Li Muyang's opinion out of politeness.
Of course I have no objections!
This naturally included Feng Ling'er. She originally thought that after successfully breaking through to the Grandmaster realm, she should have caught up with Bai Yuxiu's cultivation progress. But to her surprise, when she returned, she found that Bai Yuxiu had already reached the mid-Grandmaster realm! And even the high-level Grandmaster realm was within reach!
"Brother Li, isn't this special treatment you're giving Yuxiu a bit too much?" Feng Ling'er complained, a hint of jealousy in her voice, as she pulled Li Muyang aside, wanting to get some benefits for herself.
Li Muyang rolled his eyes: "I feel like I've been urging you to cultivate seriously all along, haven't I? Besides, you now possess two top-tier cultivation techniques, the Flying Swallow Technique and the Innate Heart Technique. As long as you specialize in the new system, the effect will definitely be better. As long as you cultivate diligently, catching up with Yuxiu won't be a problem."
"When will I be able to catch up with you?" Wind Chime asked expectantly.
Shen Feiyan (oT-T) Corpse: "Pfft!"
Bai Muzhen also covered her mouth with a laugh.
Feng Ling'er hadn't realized what was going on until Bai Yuxiu leisurely explained, "Ling'er... Brother Li... he's already reached the pinnacle of the Supreme Realm! He's only one step away from the ultimate peak! The Longevity Realm is within his grasp!"
Wind Chime Σ(?д?|||)??: Holy crap! You opened it?
Li Muyang ╮(￣⊿￣)╭: How could that be! It was just left on!
Upon learning that Li Muyang had reached the highest level of cultivation, Feng Ling'er stopped pestering him and turned to study the new system with Bai Yuxiu. They were switching cultivation methods! They needed to hurry up and switch!
She can accept being surpassed, she can accept that Li Muyang is better than her, and she can also accept that Bai Yuxiu is better than her, but it is hard for her to accept becoming someone who holds her back!
Feng Ling'er didn't want to become the second Young Master Cui! She knew that Young Master Cui had been taken away by his elders for special training! What if this kid suddenly had an epiphany and broke through to the Grandmaster level... then she would be at the same level as him!
Hmm... Just like Young Master Cui? Wouldn't that make me a drag on the team? I don't want that!
Young Master Cui (′-i_-｀): Thank you so much!
After breaking through to the Grandmaster level, Feng Ling'er had to admit that she had been slacking off again! Her cultivation had clearly become much less rigorous! All she could think about was going to the dense forest to find Bai Yuxiu after Shen Feiyan had recovered enough!
Realizing that she would easily hold her friends back if she didn't cultivate seriously, and also because Feng Ling'er had heard part of the plan from her master, which was that everyone was going to officially step forward to clear Wuxiang City's name during the martial arts festival!
No more slacking off!
