Chapter 202: Tell My Dad I'm Not Coming Back.
Upon hearing Shui Ling Shuang's question, Shui Bing'er and the others felt a bit awkward.
Logically, they were the ones who invited Bai Yu over, and they shouldn't have ignored him the whole way without saying a word.
But the topic Shui Yue'er brought up made it impossible for them to respond; it would have been fine if there were men in the group, but they were all girls!
They couldn't possibly discuss how many girlfriends someone had in front of an unfamiliar person and make dirty jokes on the spot!
Looking at Shui Ling Shuang's questioning gaze, Shui Bing'er gritted her teeth and described the previous awkward scene to Shui Ling Shuang.
After listening, Shui Ling Shuang didn't blame Shui Yue'er; instead, a thoughtful expression appeared on her face, as she had long known Shui Yue'er's personality, which was exactly like her mother's.
“Hmm, Shui Yue'er’s idea isn’t impossible, but we’ll have to go back and discuss it with your father to see what he thinks.”
“Huh?”
Shui Bing'er was stunned; was her mom suffering from senile dementia? Shui Yue'er was being foolish, and now her own mother was losing her mind too?
“Mom, what are you talking about? Let my sister be that philandering Spirit Hall Saint Child’s girlfriend? How is that possible? I don’t agree!”
“Leaving aside whether he likes my sister or not, even if he does, he already has so many girlfriends. Will my sister be happy in the future?”
Shui Ling Shuang waved her hand, saying indifferently:
“Shui Yue'er is so beautiful, who wouldn’t like her? Besides, what’s wrong with having many girlfriends? It proves he’s excellent enough to win girls’ affection.”
“Bing'er, don't look at him with prejudiced eyes. Which capable man doesn't wish for three wives and four concubines?”
“Not to mention others, just look at that scoundrel, your father; he doesn't have much ability himself, yet didn't he marry me and your Aunt Han?”
“Even then, he wasn't honest and kept a few younger ones outside. He thought we didn't know, but we were just too lazy to expose him.”
Shui Bing'er’s eyelids twitched. She wasn’t surprised at all that her father’s secrets were being exposed, because not only her mother, but even she vaguely knew about it.
One could only say that her father's tricks were truly amateurish; he didn't have the skill, yet he insisted on taking on difficult tasks.
However, although the principle was sound, if such a thing happened to her own sister, Shui Bing'er was a bit displeased.
Just as she was about to speak and persuade her mother not to push Shui Yue'er into a pit of fire, her sister, Shui Yue'er, suddenly jumped up and excitedly said:
“Aunt Frost is right! Even someone like Dad can have several women. Bai Yu, as the Spirit Hall Saint Child, who will become the Supreme Pontiff in the future, isn't it normal for him to have more girlfriends?”
“And he’s so handsome! Just looking at him often can make one happy and prolong life.”
“Aunt Frost, go back and tell Dad I’m not returning to Tianshui City! I want to stay by Bai Yu’s side and be his girlfriend!”
“Slap!”
Shui Bing'er slapped her face, thinking, 'It's over.' Her mother's nonsensical talk had only strengthened Shui Yue'er's resolve.
Before, there was still hope of pulling her back, but now it was impossible; she had completely fallen into the pit and could never climb out.
Looking at the excited Shui Yue'er, Shui Ling Shuang chuckled and waved her hand at her.
“Shui Yue'er, don’t rush. We still need to inform Sister Han and your father about this. Besides, we don’t know if Bai Yu will agree.”
“However, he has been with the Shrek Team these past few days, and if nothing unexpected happens, he should continue to be.”
“Shui Yue'er, after your matches, go over there more often and see what his intentions are.”
Shui Yue'er nodded, strongly agreeing with Shui Ling Shuang's suggestion. She felt that Aunt Frost was truly her strategist at this moment!
The rest of the Tianshui Team members looked at each other, utterly bewildered. What was going on? They were just going to give Shui Yue'er away so casually?
Shui Bing'er slumped onto the table, sighing. She understood this kind of thing very well.
It was nothing more than a power marriage. Fortunately, Shui Yue'er liked Bai Yu, and as for Bai Yu, after her recent interaction, she felt that aside from his philandering nature, everything else was quite good.
Moreover, he had a profound background and formidable strength, enough to protect Shui Yue'er and ensure her future peace of mind.
So, although she opposed this matter, she wasn't entirely firm in her opposition.
If the person today hadn't been Bai Yu, but some useless pretty boy, she would have turned the Shui family upside down to break off the engagement.
Bai Yu, who had left the hotel, had no idea what was happening behind him, nor did he know that he was about to gain another girlfriend.
He was currently walking back to the academy, feeling completely relaxed. After all, nobody wanted to deal with social niceties unless absolutely necessary.
“Oh, our philandering scoundrel is back? How was it? How many young girls did you trick this time?”
As soon as Bai Yu returned to his small villa, he found his five women from Shrek chatting in the courtyard, with an extra Spirit Kite beside them.
“Hey, Rongrong, you’re wronging me. I only saved them once in the Extreme North Land, and they just wanted to repay my kindness.”
“To be honest, if we hadn’t happened to meet today, they wouldn’t even know who I am.”
Ning Rongrong pouted, her face full of disbelief. How could a scoundrel like Bai Yu let a piece of meat that was already in his mouth go?
Every single member of the Tianshui Team was a beauty; she just didn't believe that Bai Yu hadn't had any ulterior motives.
Seeing Ning Rongrong's expression, Bai Yu raised an eyebrow, feeling that this girl really needed to be taught a lesson. Just as he was about to tell her to come inside with him, he was interrupted by the Spirit Kite beside him.
“Little Yu, speaking of the Extreme North Land, I really want to ask, how exactly did you get those spirit power routes beyond the usual limits?”
“Good heavens, not only are there hundred-thousand-year ones, but also those ferocious Spirit Beasts I’ve never even heard of! It’s truly unbelievable!”
“When you asked me to send the information back to Spirit City, I didn’t think much of it, until later, when I saw the content of the data at the Pope’s place, I was truly astonished!”
“A hundred-thousand-year Spirit Beast is already terrifying enough; I can’t even imagine how powerful those ferocious Spirit Beasts are.”
“How did you manage to make those ferocious Spirit Beasts obey you and let you record their spirit power routes?”
The Spirit Kite grew more and more excited as she spoke, finally unable to resist getting up and rushing over to Bai Yu, staring at him unblinkingly.
Bai Yu rubbed his fingers, chuckled softly, and said casually:
“Heh heh, I don’t have that much ability to make those ferocious Spirit Beasts obedient. I merely borrowed someone else’s influence.”
“I met a friend before whose identity is the co-ruler of Spirit Beasts. I was only able to obtain those spirit power routes because of her help.”
“If I had to go find those ferocious Spirit Beasts myself, let alone making them obedient, I’d be lucky if I didn’t get beaten to a pulp.”
