Chapter 89 Shui Rou is startled
"This humble servant greets Elder Xu."
At the door, Shui Rou bowed slightly and gave Xu Xiao a graceful greeting.
She looked at the other person, her eyebrows slightly furrowed, her heart filled with worry.
It is often these seemingly virtuous people who do the most perverse things!
Elder Xu has been the subject of numerous rumors with female cultivators lately, earning him the title of a perverted old lecher.
We must take preventative measures and nip these possibilities in the bud!
"Hehe, so it's Madam Shui. I remember the last time I saw Madam Shui was decades ago. Madam Shui's appearance hasn't changed at all. I still remember her."
Xu Xiao smiled and stroked his beard, but there was a hint of embarrassment in his eyes.
The other party is the president of the Biyue Trading Company in Xinyue City, Beifeng Kingdom, and also Shuiyue's mother.
They came to see him, and without a doubt, they had heard the rumors circulating outside.
"Please come in, Madam Shui. My humble abode is simple, but please don't find it offensive."
"Thank you, Elder Xu."
Shui Rou blinked her beautiful eyes.
She also remembered what Elder Xu looked like decades ago; he wasn't this old then, and he was incredibly handsome...
Even now that she's older, she still retains some of the charm she had back then.
Xu Xiao said to Lu Danian, "Danian, you wait outside. I'll talk to Madam Shui first."
Lu Danian glanced at the two of them, moved Niu Da's eyes, and respectfully bowed, saying, "Yes, Senior Uncle!"
Enter and close the door.
Xu Xiao poured Shui Rou a cup of spiritual tea and sat down opposite her with a smile.
From the moment Shui Rou entered, the room was filled with her captivating fragrance.
It seems to be a blend of several floral scents, very fragrant and gentle.
"Madam Shui, I have some guesses about why you've come."
Xu Xiao smiled and said, "Don't worry, Madam. Shuiyue is my junior. She was seriously injured at the time and used her Water Spirit Body to condense ice crystals. I had no choice but to help her."
"The rumors circulating outside are not credible."
Getting straight to the point, Xu Xiao began to explain.
Shui Rou's expression changed slightly upon hearing this. She was still uneasy about the exaggerated rumors about the other party recently.
Although she was a seventh-level Nascent Soul cultivator, her status was very high.
But now Elder Xu is famous throughout the cultivation world. His Nascent Soul Talisman is unstoppable. Even Mo Jitian and Shangguan Feilian died at his hands.
You must never treat the other party as an ordinary Nascent Soul cultivator!
We need to find a gentler approach!
"Hmph... Hmph hmph..."
Without saying a word, Shui Rou suddenly burst into tears.
Tears streamed down her face, her beautiful eyes slightly red. She gracefully took out a silk handkerchief to wipe them away, her beauty breathtaking and her vulnerability palpable.
"Madam, what's wrong?" Xu Xiaohua frowned slightly.
Why are you crying?
"Elder..."
Shui Rou wiped away her tears, her beautiful face pitiful as she said, "Shui Yue is my only daughter. I raised her from a young age and also managed the Shui family's business. It's been a long and difficult journey..."
"Shuiyue's father sacrificed himself for the Shui family before she was even born. Now, Shuiyue is my only family... If anything happens to Shuiyue, I don't want to live anymore... Waaah..."
Clear tears fell, and Shui Rou secretly glanced at Xu Xiao through her silk scarf.
A gentle light flickered in her beautiful eyes.
Xu Xiao shook his head and smiled bitterly, "Madam, why bother? I've already said it's just a rumor. Madam, don't be sad. Shuiyue is my junior sister's disciple, and we will take good care of her in the future."
Just as I finished speaking, the system's voice came through.
[The woman of destiny has been detected: Shui Rou]
[Luck Level: A]
Return multiplier: 10
[Bond Level: 1]
"Oh?"
"This widow is also a woman of destiny?"
Xu Xiao's heart trembled slightly as he looked at the stunningly beautiful and voluptuous woman before him, his old eyes blinking slightly.
But think about it.
The Shui family holds a very high position in the Northern Wind Kingdom. The family head is a woman who is the only heir, and her talent in water management is top-notch.
Even without the Water Spirit Body, Shui Rou's talent is rare, and she is also very beautiful.
We should seize this opportunity to try and get a first critical hit bonus.
Hearing Xu Xiao's strong assurance, and seeing his extraordinary and convincing demeanor, they were immediately impressed.
Shui Rou felt slightly relieved of her worries and guessed that this was probably indeed a rumor.
Moreover, with Sect Leader Dugu and the Supreme Elder watching over the Misty Sect, Elder Xu would not dare to harass Shuiyue no matter how much he did!
With only fifty years to go, Shuiyue could simply hide and let it pass.
Just as she was about to pour out her grievances again, express her gratitude, and take her leave.
Xu Xiao smiled and took out a beautiful ring that emitted a fiery red glow from his spatial storage.
"Madam, this is a top-grade magic ring that I recently acquired, the Flowing Star Meteor Ring."
"After use, it can summon a fiery meteorite with great power."
Shui Rou glanced at the exquisite ring shimmering in Xu Xiao's hand, her beautiful eyes flickering slightly.
Exquisite magical artifact!
Elder Xu actually possesses a top-grade magic artifact, which is a ring!
Xu Xiao made an excuse, saying, "This rumor must have worried Madam Shui, and I am very sorry."
“Shuiyue is my junior apprentice, and I love her very much. I will give this Flowing Star Meteor Ring to Madam as an apology.”
Looking at the fiery red, gleaming top-grade magic weapon in the other person's hand, Shui Rou almost thought she had misheard!
Elder Xu is going to give her a top-grade magic artifact?!
Her beautiful eyes widened as she stared at Xu Xiao in disbelief, her heart pounding.
This is an exquisite magical artifact, extremely precious.
Even the Shui family's Biyue Chamber of Commerce only had two items, one of which, the Crystal Blue Gourd, was given to Shuiyue!
"This this......"
Her voice trembled slightly, and her plump, snow-white body flushed slightly with excitement.
Suddenly, she seemed to realize something and looked at Xu Xiao with fear in her eyes.
Elder Xu, could it be that he has feelings for her in that way?!
Or perhaps she has designs on Shuiyue and is planning to use a top-grade magical artifact to bribe him, her mother?!
With a twist of thought, Shui Rou felt that the other person's kind and gentle smile suddenly turned lewd and terrifying!
old man!
What a lecherous old man!
For the sake of the mother and daughter, he was even willing to give away a top-grade magic artifact!
She couldn't imagine what other reason the other party could possibly have!
The reason she's gone so far astray is mainly because there are too many people pursuing her now, including even the King of the Northern Wind Kingdom!
"No!"
"Elder Xu! I can't accept this!"
"This is too valuable!"
Shui Rou's originally slightly rosy complexion gradually turned pale.
The old lecher only has a lifespan of fifty years, but he also possesses a ninth-level Nascent Soul talisman, and holds a very high position in the Misty Sect.
There's no way to use force!
Whether the other party's target is her or Shuiyue, she cannot accept it!
Xu Xiao shook his head and sighed. He had already come up with a reason, why didn't he want this?
Looking at the other person's gradually paling face and their terrified eyes.
He realized that the other party had probably misunderstood.
Without giving up, Xu Xiao explained with a smile, "Madam Shui, this isn't just for you, it's also for Shui Yue. Shui Yue is my beloved junior nephew, and she's about to undergo the Divine Transformation Tribulation."
"The flaming meteor summoned by the Flowing Star Meteor Ring is an excellent means of resisting the lightning tribulation. Before she undergoes the tribulation, you can give it to her to refine and use."
"As the old Taoist is about to die, his magical artifacts are useless to him. He is giving them to you because he does not want to see the geniuses of my Misty Sect follow in his footsteps."
"Madam, you wouldn't want your daughter Shuiyue to fail during her tribulation, would you?"
