Cultivating with Bragging System-Chapter 430 - 232: The Storm is Approaching! Preparation for Battle Begins! (8000 Words)_1
Hearing Ji Zidian’s words, Lin Yuyi was stunned.
What on earth?
For the first time, she, who was always so dignified and gentle, felt the urge to curse.
Is my daughter small? Not at all!
Lin Yuyi was quite confident in her own assets. It was already magnanimous of her not to complain about Ji Yan; how could he dare to complain about her?
Soon, another question occurred to her. Why would Zidian suddenly ask this? She knew her daughter all too well. Ji Zidian would never bring up such an embarrassing matter unless something had happened. She suddenly remembered that at the end of the banquet tonight, Wang Xiu had left alone with Ji Zidian.
Could it be...
A jolt of alarm went through Lin Yuyi. Have they progressed that quickly?
Although she was truly satisfied with Wang Xiu as a son-in-law, such matters were ultimately disadvantageous for the girl. As a mother, she still hoped the two of them would be more prudent.
After pondering for a long time, Lin Yuyi composed her message, "Be careful, and don’t let anything irreversible happen. No matter how much you can’t bear it, at least wait until the wedding is officially set!"
When Ji Zidian saw the message, she was instantly mortified. "Mother, what are you talking about?"
She quickly explained what had happened. Only then did Lin Yuyi understand. So that’s what it was. She let out a quiet sigh of relief.
As someone who had been through it herself, who had once experienced the first blush of love, she could fully understand the anxiety and insecurity now plaguing her daughter’s heart. She then proceeded to give Ji Zidian some advice from a broader perspective.
Finally, after some thought, she added, "If you’re truly worried, I’ll ask around tomorrow. I know someone who has a lot of expertise in this area!"
Ji Zidian was overjoyed. "Really? Thank you, Mother!"
The mother and daughter talked for a long time, staying up all night. This was undoubtedly a special night for the Ji Family, and even more so for Ji Zidian. They talked about everything, from the past to the future, until their long conversation finally came to an end.
「The next day.」
「Sword Sect.」
"Master, the Great Lady of Thunderclap Peak has come to visit and wishes to see you," Li Zuoyue reported to Dugu Qingqian.
"The Great Lady? Lin Yuyi?" Dugu Qingqian raised an eyebrow. She wasn’t particularly close to Lin Yuyi, but they were acquaintances. It had been many years since they had last spoken. What is she doing here today?
"Let her in," Dugu Qingqian said. After all, she was Ji Yan’s principal wife; she had to be shown some respect.
"Sister Dugu, it’s been many years. You’re as radiant and lovely as ever, it’s truly enviable." Lin Yuyi moved with elegant grace, a dignified and enthusiastic smile on her face. "The power of a Saint Manifestation expert is truly as magnificent as the rumors say!"
"Sister Lin, you flatter me. May I ask the reason for your sudden visit today?" Dugu Qingqian offered a faint smile, getting straight to the point.
"Ah, this is a bit embarrassing to say, but it’s about a... private girlish matter," Lin Yuyi said with a sheepish smile.
Private matters? What private matters could we possibly have to discuss? Dugu Qingqian was baffled, but she understood the unspoken request in Lin Yuyi’s words and dismissed Li Zuoyue and the other disciples.
"Is it convenient to speak now?"
"Well, it’s not a huge deal... Sister, you’ve probably heard that my Zidian and Wang Xiu of the Divination Sect got together today. They’re already at the point of discussing marriage!" Lin Yuyi said.
"I have heard. I haven’t had the chance to congratulate you and Brother Ji on gaining such an excellent son-in-law," Dugu Qingqian replied politely after a moment’s pause.
News about Wang Xiu and Ji Zidian had spread throughout the entire Sanqing Immortal Sect overnight. After all, with such a big commotion at the Thunder Sect, it was impossible for it to go unnoticed. The union of the soon-to-be Saint Heir of Sanqing and the little princess of the Thunder Sect fulfilled the fantasies of countless people.
This was even true for Dugu Qingqian, who had always been indifferent towards the Divination Sect. Since her return, she hadn’t made any negative comments about them. This was especially true after her disciple, Li Zuoyue, told her about the events in the Holy Realm. Her initial desire to compete with Luo Binglan had faded considerably.
Hmm... It wasn’t that she was personally afraid of Luo Binglan, but that her own people were simply not up to par.
The gap between their disciples was just too vast. Li Zuoyue had only just entered the Nascent Soul Realm. While forming a Seven-Colored Yuanying was incredible, it was nothing compared to Wang Xiu, who could slay an Emergence Stage Demon Cultivator the moment he reached the Nascent Soul Realm. They weren’t in the same league at all.
How could she possibly compete? There was simply no comparison! Comparisons are truly deadly!
"However, Sister, you didn’t come here today just because of this, did you?" Dugu Qingqian asked, puzzled. The relationship between the Sword Sect and the Thunder Sect was relatively amicable. Even if Lin Yuyi wanted to show off, she wouldn’t come all the way here to do it.
"Sigh, it’s rather embarrassing! It’s about my daughter. Wang Xiu mentioned that he doesn’t like girls with small chests, and now she’s been up all night, unable to sleep, asking me for some kind of secret remedy..."
Lin Yuyi proudly straightened her posture and sighed, "But look at me. When have I ever needed such a thing?"
As a mother of several children, Lin Yuyi’s figure was full and womanly, possessing a mature charm far beyond that of a naive young girl. Dugu Qingqian didn’t dare to look for too long; the sight just made her feel inadequate.
"So you came to find me because...?" Dugu Qingqian’s expression soured as she began to suspect the reason.
"Well, I heard that when you were younger, Sister Dugu, you searched for quite a few unusual and miraculous remedies to solve this very problem. I was hoping to learn from your experience..." Lin Yuyi said.
Dugu Qingqian was speechless.
Do you have any manners? Is this your idea of being polite?
"Sister, you must have been misinformed," Dugu Qingqian said, forcing herself to suppress her anger as her voice turned cold. "I am dedicated to the Dao. I have never paid much mind to my appearance, so why would I ever seek out such remedies?"
She had the overwhelming urge to curse. Why did she have to touch upon the one topic she shouldn’t? If not for the fact that she and Lin Yuyi had no prior grudges, Dugu Qingqian would have suspected that someone had sent her purely to provoke her.
