Chapter 215: Completely Different from a Certain Person (Fifth Update)

“Sister, can we sit here?”

“Of course, please sit.” Ye Wenxin, holding back her initial thought of saying they were about to leave anyway, gently smiled at the two.

The little girl beamed with joy and promptly took a seat next to Ye Wenxin. The woman accompanying her, more reserved, sat across from them and began to eat slowly.

The woman ate at an incredibly slow pace, chewing each bite over thirty times. It was unclear whether this was for maximum nutrient absorption or due to some obsessive-compulsive behavior.

The little girl, incomparably affectionate, initiated conversation with Ye Wenxin, “Sister, how old are you?”

Ye Wenxin thought for a moment about the age of her foundation, and gave an accurate answer, “Fourteen.”

Seeing that Ye Wenxin was already 1.7 meters tall at fourteen, the little girl couldn’t contain her surprise. “Wow, I’m twelve, but why am I so short?”

Ye Wenxin smiled slightly and continued chatting with the little girl, learning more about her through the conversation.

The girl’s name was Qiao Ni, and her mother was named Liu Siyu, respectfully referred to as Madam Yu.

Like the title of Fairy Fengya, people considered Madam Yu to be tragic, yet educated and well-rounded, having developed Green Isle Manor into a thriving establishment.

Unlike other sects focused primarily on cultivation, Green Isle Manor specialized in escort services and similar businesses, and had even expanded into the bodyguard industry, becoming quite wealthy.

Of course, Jin Xiaoqin later elaborated on Madam Yu’s background when she noticed Ye Wenxin’s interest, suggesting that Ye Wenxin make herself known to Madam Yu to receive some care during her future training down the mountain.

At that moment, Ye Wenxin was unaware of this context. She assumed that Qiao Ni, who had no cultivation, was drawn to her due to the dominance of her Iceborn Constitution, which made people naturally gravitate towards her.

Knowing that her Soul Suppressing Eighteen Needles required harsh conditions, Ye Wenxin warmly answered all of Qiao Ni’s questions and even agreed to take her out for a fun day tomorrow.

Qiao Ni, delighted by this, looked over at Madam Yu.

“You two go ahead. As for me, it would be quite inconvenient,” Madam Yu responded with a gentle smile, her eyes full of doting affection that carried the pure essence of motherhood.

Madam Yu’s gentleness was similar to Ling Jue’s, but Ling Jue’s was filled with adoration and desire.

Madam Yu was different. She seemed capable of embracing everything, a quality Ye Wenxin would describe as the ‘radiance of motherhood’. Such people easily attracted the attention of those who felt deprived of love.

Ye Wenxin thought of herself as love-deprived, and couldn’t help but look at her a few more times.

Madam Yu simply kept smiling, watching her daughter be unusually clingy. She deftly cracked melon seeds with her delicate fingers, placing them on a plate, ready to feed her daughter during the lulls in their conversation.

By this time, Jin Xiaoqin had already left, and even the people around them had changed several times. Yet, Qiao Ni still hadn’t finished chatting, pulling Ye Wenxin into conversations that spanned from the south to the north.

The night was growing late, and Qiao Ni still didn’t want to let Ye Wenxin go, wanting to take her to their quarters to continue chatting.

“Please, Sister, we’re leaving the day after tomorrow,” Qiao Ni pleaded, seeing Ye Wenxin’s reluctance.

She used a mix of threats and coaxing, throwing tantrums and acting cute, making Ye Wenxin wonder if she was possessed by Gu Xiangsi, for her to be so clingy.

“Don’t be like this, Ni Ni,” Madam Yu said helplessly, not understanding why her daughter had suddenly become so unreasonable.

Ye Wenxin knew the reason, but upon hearing that they were leaving soon, she agreed to stay a bit longer.

“Alright, I’ll keep you company for a while, but I definitely won’t stay overnight,” Ye Wenxin nodded in response. Qiao Ni was overjoyed, almost hugging and kissing Ye Wenxin in excitement.

However, in front of her mother, Qiao Ni behaved quite obediently. Madam Yu, though troubled, couldn’t bring herself to scold her daughter.

Her eyes showed a hint of guilt as she let Qiao Ni drag Ye Wenxin around, chatting and wandering happily……

Late at night, after seeing that Qiao Ni had finally fallen asleep, Madam Yu solemnly apologized to Ye Wenxin.

“Miss Wenxin, I’m truly sorry. This is the first time she has been so enthusiastic towards someone.”

Ye Wenxin found this statement familiar, recalling that Gu Aotian had said something similar before. She used to think it was because of her strong amiability, but now it seemed it was her special constitution at work.

Thinking of this, she instinctively took a few steps back, worried that her peach blossom aura might again affect Madam Yu.

Although the idea of making an old man wear a green hat (to be cheated on) was thrilling, Ye Wenxin still had her limits. Considering the unresolved romantic entanglements she already had, she didn’t dare provoke any more.

“What’s the matter, Miss Wenxin?” Madam Yu, being a successful businesswoman, naturally noticed Ye Wenxin’s sudden tension, and asked with concern.

“I didn’t notice until now, but I suddenly feel I’ve been quite rude. It’s already late, so I’ll take my leave. Tomorrow morning, I’ll come back to take Ni Ni for a walk around the area.”

Ye Wenxin looked at the beautiful lady, puzzled as to why someone so stunning hadn’t made it onto the Unparalleled Beauties List.

Could it be that after marrying, she lost her allure? As Ye Wenxin pondered these random thoughts and was about to step out the door, she heard Madam Yu call out to stop her.

“Wait, let me escort you back. I’ve recently heard that people from the demon sects have infiltrated, and I’m worried you might be attacked on the way.”

Ye Wenxin was bemused. She, the Demon Lord, once the strongest woman in the world, needed no one’s protection.

Moreover, this woman was soon to die, making her concern somewhat laughable to Ye Wenxin.

However, seeing Madam Yu’s genuine concern, Ye Wenxin continued, “I’m the champion of this year’s Immortal Sect Grand Tournament. If she dares to come, I will deal with her.”

Seeing the surprise in Madam Yu’s eyes, Ye Wenxin realized for the first time how useful these seemingly superfluous titles could be.

“Very well, I won’t stop you then. Be careful on the way.” Madam Yu eventually relented, softly reminding as she opened the door and watched Ye Wenxin’s figure fade into the distance.

It wasn’t until Ye Wenxin had walked quite far that Madam Yu’s door finally closed. Hearing some movement, Ye Wenxin turned back, a slight smile playing on her lips, as she murmured to herself, “Such a beautiful and gentle woman, completely different from a certain someone.”

She seemed to be speaking to the air, but in fact, she had long noticed the gaze fixed on her from afar.

Fairy Fengya came again, but Ye Wenxin had already decided that no matter what Fairy Fengya did, she would not be fooled by her again.

So, she pretended not to notice Fairy Fengya’s presence and continued on her way to the outer disciple dormitory, intending to talk to Baili Mu about the change in her living arrangements.
