Chapter 346: Feng Qing's Struggles
After some few more minutes of climbing to reach the outer court of the Dao Seeking Mountains, the alluring purple-haired beauty finally arrives at the top of the first mountain peak, being the only one in the group containing all the ladies from the same force as her to arrive at such record time.
Standing there all in her lonesome though, the solitude of a lady as beautiful as she is something that attracts the sight of not only the participants who just arrives as well, but also the disciples of the Dao Seeking Mountain who prides themselves on being ascetics free from worldly desires.
Of course, the sights focused on her doesn't mean that a brave one will attempt to strike a conversation with this peerless beauty, given the fact that they know damn well not to mess with this seemingly meek nymph, who has the battle prowess enough to hold her own for a while against the greatest genius of their generation, who is known for crossing more cultivation realms than one whenever he battles.
This means that said alluring beauty appears all the more alone as the gaze of the people who can only yearn for but will never have her start getting on other things, thinking that it is far better to set sight on someone they can reach instead of this monstrous talent, who is also currently betrothed to a prince of the Central Province according to some rumors circulating all around.
'It's way better this way…' seeing the people seemingly avoiding her, the purple-haired alluring beauty thought to herself as she finds being with just herself rather than being surrounded by people she could not even trust something to enjoy, a hint of a smile appearing on her gorgeous face as she takes the path towards the location of the buildings they are supposed to stay in during the entire Dao Enlightenment Competition.
After having herself settled on a simple single bed room, the alluring beauty, Zi Yu'er, smiles with a trace of satisfaction appearing on her face before she plunges herself on the soft mattress of the bed, seemingly enjoying the tactile sensation of the mattress for a while as she rolls around like an innocent maiden, doing this for some few minutes before she finally stops as she takes out a stone, something particularly special to her, from her spatial ring.
As she imbues her spirit qi on the stone, it starts glowing and projecting the image of a young man, with an immortal-like bearing and appearance that seems to put even the greatest creation of the heavens to shame, the appearance of the young man causing her to be tranced on his projection for a few moments before she starts giggling to herself.
"Will we meet here, Su Xiaotian?"
----------
On another one of the buildings, another beauty laid on a soft bed bigger than the one accommodating the alluring beauty, the reason for such difference being the fact that there is another person accompanying this young, phoenix-like beauty, a figure that appears to be an older, more motherly version of herself.
"Are you sure you don't want to meet your Aunt Jianxue? She will be quite pleased to see you~~" the motherly beauty asked as she put the phoenix-like beauty's head to rest on her soft, plump thighs, allowing this daughter of hers to enjoy a lap pillow as she gently caresses her head with one of her hands.
"Mom, we can meet with Aunt Jianxue later you know? I just… feel awkward, especially since I just found out about these things…" the phoenix-like beauty said with a nervous tone on her voice as she looks at her mother, who also stares back at her apologetically as she claims to be the one at fault for her only finding out that her own mother has this sort of connections to other great figures of her time.
"I'm really sorry about that my dear, I just don't want you to know about all this before you're ready?" the motherly beauty said as she continues to caress her dear daughter's head, the smile on her face apologetic and filled with a hint of regret for not telling her sooner.
"There's no need for that kind of words between us mom… well, you told these things to me anyways so there's really no need for that…" the phoenix-like beauty said with a smile on her face, something that outsiders rarely see given just how cold and seemingly emotionless she usually is outside of her own family, a family composed only of her and her mother.
"Then let's go to the Heavenly Dao Peak now~~" the motherly beauty said as she starts channeling her mastery of space in order for her and her daughter to move instantaneously to the place where her sworn sister is located, only for her to be stopped by her own daughter as she complains and reminds.
"Mom, it's already the middle of the night, we probably shouldn't go there unannounced during these times, right?" the phoenix-like beauty said, causing her excited mother to snap out of her anticipation as she remembers this simple fact, causing her to giggle as if there's nothing that just almost happened before she speaks once again.
"Fufufu~~~ you're right my dear Qing'er, let's just rest here for now~" the motherly beauty said with a modest, a bit embarrassed smile on her gorgeous face before she laid on the soft bed as well, pulling her only family closer towards her as she wraps her arms around the phoenix-like beauty, making this daughter of hers feel the softness of the motherly body completely enveloping her.
Enjoying her mother's sensation, as well as her scent, that always makes her feel comfortable and safe no matter what happens, the phoenix-like beauty couldn't help but think just how much normal her mother appears despite the dangerous situation she is currently in, having a sickness that might end up with the worse possible condition for a cultivator if not treated, the condition being the complete crippling of their entire cultivation base.
As she tries to think of ways to find a cure to her mother's sickness once again, a familiar face appears on her mind all while she thought of all sorts of things, a face that is something really etched on her entire being as the owner of said face is the only person outside of her family that made her look forward to seeing him once again, that somehow makes her smile from her interactions with him.
"Xiaotian…." As she mutters the name of the young man, the only male friend she ever had when she travels outside, she couldn't help but get dazed in disbelief as she remembers that the very same young man is also the son of the Peerless Heavenly Goddess of her mother's time, said goddess also being the sworn sister of her mother along with other prominent figures who are already true powerhouses of this time now.
Whenever she remembers what the young man needs to do in order to cure her mother's sickness though, she couldn't help but blush in embarrassment as she couldn't believe that she will do the same thing with him, causing her to always blank out the moment she thinks about it.
