"We thought you two sisters had settled down at Shrek Academy and wouldn't want to come back."
"Had your lovers and forgot your home."
Tomorrow was the start of the qualifying rounds. Shui Bing'er and Shui Yue'er only just returned home, and they were immediately chided by their mothers.
"Mom, Eldest Aunt, my sister and I have been diligently cultivating at Shrek Academy!" Shui Yue'er boasted. "Guess what level my soul power has reached now? And what level has Sister reached?"
These words made Shui Bing'er's mother and Shui Yue'er's mother fall into thought, their eyes meeting. They wondered if Xu Yunhan and the others had told their daughters the secret to rapid cultivation. If so, then Xu Yunhan must truly like their daughters and be someone worthy of trust.
Shui Yue'er's mother looked at her daughter and smiled. "In just one month, it's impossible to improve very quickly. Did you reach Level 45?"
Shui Yue'er shook her head, remaining silent, prompting her mother to guess again.
Shui Bing'er's mother guessed with some surprise, "Could it be Level 46? This, this is a bit too fast, isn't it?"
What kind of cultivation secret art could increase one's level by about two levels in a month?
Shui Bing'er spoke, "Mom, Second Aunt, you won't guess. Yue'er is now Level 48, and I am already a Soul King, having reached Level 52."
"Oh, Sister, why did you just blurt it out?" Shui Yue'er complained.
The two mothers were stunned, staring wide-eyed at their daughters. It took them a good while to recover.
"Yue'er is Level 48, and Bing'er is Level 52!" Shui Yue'er's mother exclaimed in shock.
Shui Bing'er's mother had a similar reaction: "Impossible!"
The two mothers couldn't believe it.
"Heh heh, I knew you wouldn't believe it." Shui Yue'er walked over and extended her hand. "You can check for yourselves."
Shui Yue'er's mother reached out and took her daughter's hand, examining it closely. Her face first furrowed because she confirmed that her daughter was no longer a maiden. Although they had already noticed this when Shui Yue'er and Shui Bing'er first returned, after confirming it, they felt a bit uneasy.
Not long after, Shui Yue'er's mother exclaimed, "She really reached Level 48!"
"Bing'er is indeed Level 52," Shui Bing'er's mother also checked her daughter's condition, equally surprised.
"How was this done?" the two mothers asked in unison.
Shui Yue'er's expression turned serious. "We can tell you, but you can't tell anyone else except Dad." Xu Yunhan had permitted them to tell their parents.
"Don't worry, we definitely won't say anything."
"What kind of cultivation secret art is it?"
The two mothers looked at Shui Yue'er expectantly.
Shui Yue'er said, "Yun Han gave my sister and me each an immortal herb. After consuming the immortal herb..."
Immortal herb?
The effects were so incredible!
After listening to Shui Yue'er's explanation, the two mothers were shocked. They had thought it was some secret cultivation method, but it turned out to be a treasure called an immortal herb.
"Immortal herbs are extremely rare and hard to come by," Shui Bing'er said. "Yun Han was also lucky to obtain over ten of them, but they're mostly used up now. My sister and I were lucky too, that there were still some left." Although Shui Yue'er and Shui Bing'er hoped their parents could also get immortal herbs, Ning Rongrong's family hadn't received any, so they felt awkward asking Xu Yunhan. They could also understand Xu Yunhan's actions: good things were primarily for the women he cared about.
Shui Yue'er said, "Yun Han probably doesn't have many immortal herbs left. Although my sister and I wish you mothers had some too, we can't bring ourselves to ask. Ning Rongrong's family hasn't received any either, so..." She hoped her two mothers would understand.
Both mothers smiled.
"You two silly girls," Shui Bing'er's mother said. "It's normal for Xu Yunhan to use such precious and rare treasures on the women he likes. You shouldn't ask for them, or Xu Yunhan might be displeased, and Ning Rongrong and the others would be unhappy too. As long as you two grow stronger in the future, we'll be content."
Shui Yue'er's mother said, "That's right, you two sisters shouldn't feel guilty. You didn't do anything wrong, and neither did Xu Yunhan. Moreover, even Sect Master Ning, Sword Douluo, and Bone Douluo didn't receive any, so how can we complain? Xu Yunhan's willingness to give you two his few immortal herbs shows that he truly cares about you and likes you, and that's enough."
"Thank you, Mom," Shui Yue'er and Shui Bing'er hugged their respective mothers, thanking them for their understanding.
Shui Bing'er's mother asked her daughter, "Did Liu Erlong help you obtain your fifth soul ring?" She thought that only Liu Erlong was the most likely.
Shui Bing'er nodded. "Teacher Erlong took me to the Sunset Forest, and it's nearly twenty-seven thousand years old."
Shui Yue'er's mother exclaimed, "This is absorbing a soul ring beyond your level!"
Shui Yue'er chuckled, "The immortal herb greatly boosted my sister's and my martial spirit quality, physique, and spirit, so we can absorb higher-year soul rings."
"So that's how it is," Shui Yue'er's mother suddenly realized. "This is the secret behind Xu Yunhan and the others' rapid cultivation and their ability to absorb soul rings beyond their level, but this method simply cannot be popularized."
Shui Bing'er said, "Ning Rongrong said the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan has been searching for immortal herbs all over the Douluo Continent, but they haven't found anything so far. It's probably very difficult to find any more."
Shui Bing'er's mother said, "Rarity makes things valuable; the rarer something is, the fewer there are. If they were easy to find, they would have been discovered long ago."
Shui Yue'er said, "It takes a very long time for immortal herbs to grow. Even if you wanted to cultivate immortal herbs, it would be impossible without thousands of years."
Shui Yue'er's mother sighed, "Xu Yunhan is truly lucky to have encountered some immortal herbs. You sisters are also lucky to have met Xu Yunhan."
Shui Yue'er and Shui Bing'er strongly agreed.
"Oh, by the way, my martial spirit evolved after I took the immortal herb!" Shui Yue'er stood up and released her martial spirit. A blue jiao-dragon phantom appeared.
"This is... a Jiao-Dragon!"
The two mothers were shocked.
Shui Yue'er's mother was the most excited. "Yue'er, your martial spirit, this, this is a Jiao-Dragon martial spirit!"
A Jiao-Dragon martial spirit was vastly more powerful than her original Dolphin! Its quality was completely on a different level.
Shui Yue'er said proudly, "It's a blue Jiao-Dragon martial spirit, water attribute, power attack type. It's not much worse than Sister's. However, the immortal herb Sister took was ice attribute, which greatly enhanced her ice attribute power. Whether an immortal herb causes a martial spirit to evolve depends on chance. Among the immortal herbs Xu Yunhan gave out, only mine and Ning Rongrong's martial spirits evolved."
So that was it. Shui Bing'er's mother asked curiously, "Ning Rongrong's martial spirit is the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, right? Did her martial spirit also evolve? Did it evolve into the legendary Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda martial spirit?"
The legend of the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda martial spirit existed, so it wasn't strange that some people knew about it. Shui Bing'er's mother had only heard about it before, and if Shui Yue'er hadn't brought it up, she wouldn't have thought of it.
What kind of reaction do you think their father will have to this news, particularly the transformation of Shui Yue'er's martial spirit and the implications of Ethan's (Xu Yunhan's) methods?
