Li Su delicately lifted the crimson veil concealing Liu Xinyue’s face in the bridal chamber. She was as radiant as a full moon in the third month, her eyes gleaming with bashfulness. This evening was destined to be exceptionally romantic and delightful.
The leaders of the Northern Territory sects had already departed, and many local cultivators had either remained in Luo City or moved on. The areas surrounding Luo City were prospering as a result. Li Su’s marriage had altered the perception of many cultivators. Before, he was merely at the mid-Nascent Soul stage, but now he had progressed to the late-Nascent Soul stage, which held much greater significance. Many were intrigued by his rapid growth.
Within the Li Family residence, Li Su was savoring a blissful life. While Liu Xinyue had initially stated her intention to return to the Watermoon Sect after marrying Li Su, she had stayed with the Li family for the month leading up to the wedding. After a month, she prepared to depart, armed with a Sunflower Water Pearl she had acquired in the Northern Sea for her cultivation.
The Sunflower Water Pearl wasn’t a mystical artifact but a unique item from the sea used in cultivation. Li Su accompanied her back to the Watermoon Sect, which wasn’t far from the Li Family residence. With Li Su’s crafted ships, the journey took only three days.
Liu Xinyue, with her promising cultivation potential and decent spiritual roots, was fully devoted to her training. Yet, for Li Su, having children was also a priority. “Li Su, this is an invaluable gift. I cannot accept it,” Liu Xinshui’s voice resonated within the Watermoon Sect.
Upon returning Liu Xinshui to the sect, Li Su gifted her a Sunflower Water Pearl, one of many he possessed and had no use for. The Sunflower Water Pearl was more suitable for cultivators at the Nascent Soul stage or those practicing water-based techniques. Only Liu Xinshui, her twin sister, and his daughter Mengmeng could benefit from them. Insisting that she accepted the gift, Li Su reassured her that he had an abundance of these pearls.
Now, Liu Xinshui was Li Su’s elder sister-in-law. She believed the Sunflower Water Pearl would expedite her journey to the late-Nascent Soul stage, but she found it too precious to receive. Li Su, however, wouldn’t take no for an answer, gently placing it in her hand.
The following morning, Liu Xinyue suddenly recalled something.
“What’s the matter, Xinyue?” Li Su inquired. She confessed, “Husband, I forgot something, which might make my sister uncomfortable here.”
Liu Xinyue explained that she and her sister had shared a psychic connection since childhood, even transmitting physical sensations at times. With their newfound closeness, Liu Xinyue worried her sister might sense their intimacy.
Liu Xinyue proposed, “Maybe she won’t perceive anything in that regard.” Her observation indicated that Liu Xinshui had not sensed anything unusual.
As night descended, another enchanting evening unfurled. “Oh, here we go again,” Liu Xinyue blushed, her face crimson. She had been cultivating the previous night when she unexpectedly experienced an uncomfortable sensation. Unfortunately, it happened again tonight, leading to another awkward and uncomfortable situation she had to pretend to ignore the next day.
During the day, Li Su spent quality time with Mengmeng, assessing her cultivation progress. “Wow, Father, you’re amazing!” Mengmeng clapped her hands in awe as Li Su demonstrated a technique for her. Despite growing up, her reactions to Li Su’s actions remained innocent and filled with childlike wonder. Surrounding them were several female cultivators from the Watermoon Sect. With Li Su’s recent arrival, the sect had become unusually lively.
It was worth noting that the Watermoon Sect typically had very few disciples visible at any time. Most were dedicated to their cultivation and seldom roamed. Generally, only a few outer disciples with average aptitude handled guard duty, while others might not be seen for years. However, with Li Su’s presence, more disciples began participating in various activities.
As another night fell, Liu Xinyue’s expression grew increasingly shy, fully aware of Li Su’s intentions for the evening. “Husband, my sister seems to be acting strangely tonight. Maybe we should…” Liu Xinyue noticed something unusual in her sister’s behavior, but before she could complete her sentence, Li Su…
Furthermore, Li Su appeared particularly…
Over the days, Li Su had been staying at the Watermoon Sect for two weeks. Liu Xinyue naturally didn’t want him to leave. However, she couldn’t help but notice that her sister’s daytime expressions were becoming increasingly unnatural.
This confirmed for Liu Xinyue that her sister shared a psychic connection with her. There was little she could do about it. “Sister, why don’t you enter seclusion? Since nothing is pressing right now, you can practice later when my husband departs.”
Liu Xinshui responded, “Liu Xinyue, I can’t. I have to see Li Su off when he leaves. He’s now my brother-in-law and even gave me the precious Sunflower Water Pearl. I can’t just go into seclusion at this moment. Moreover…”
Given the current circumstances, how could she possibly enter seclusion?
Every night…
The issue was that Li Su had been causing quite a stir recently. Now, whenever Liu Xinshui saw Li Su, she felt rather awkward, considering the sensations she had been experiencing. But she had no choice but to meet him and pretend she didn’t know anything, making her incredibly helpless. If she weren’t a Yuan Ying cultivator, she might have now developed dark circles under her eyes.
Another half month passed, and Li Su was still staying with the Watermoon Sect, making it a full month. This month felt like an eternity for Liu Xinyue. Almost every night, Li Su…
Even during the day, it was a challenge. She couldn’t display any signs of abnormality. Otherwise, it would be so awkward. This situation led Liu Xinyue to overlook some subtle changes in her disciples. During the sect’s daytime activities, many disciples would prop up their chins with their hands and gaze at Li Su in a daze.
