Chapter 31: Chapter Thirty-One: Wei Yuzhu, This Person

Yunpian cake is indeed fragrant, sweet, soft and glutinous, melting in the mouth, but Shi Ran doesn't like it; she likes eating meat, likes eating some strong-flavored food. Such a refreshing sweet pastry should be given to those who like it.

Mei Ruoxue looked at Shi Ran in surprise, unable to say whether she was happy or not, "How did you come here?"

"The master sent me to bring you some yunpian cake!" Shi Ran lifted the exquisitely packaged cake box, "I couldn't help myself on the way and ate a piece; Senior Martial Sister, you won't mind, will you?!"

"Of course not, take as much as you want!" Mei Ruoxue didn't mind; she loved yunpian cake, but that was from her childhood.

Huh? Shi Ran looked past Mei Ruoxue; amidst the plum blossom shadows, a person stood holding a sword, "Senior Martial Sister, won't you invite me in? I'm already here."

"Today!" Mei Ruoxue half-closed the door, "Today isn't convenient; Junior Martial Sister, come another day!"

"But..." Shi Ran wanted to say more, but seeing that person turn and go into the inner room, she fell silent. What was there to say? The night was deep and dew heavy; a lone man and woman, why would she go join this lightbulb?

"Then I'll head back first!" Shi Ran waved her hand, pretending not to know, "I'll come see you again another day, Senior Martial Sister!"

After Mei Ruoxue closed the door, Shi Ran stared at the two boxes of yunpian cake, dazed. What to do? The master's intentions… she couldn't complete the task! Sigh.

The evening wind suddenly blew, wrapping Shi Ran's worries and carrying them farther and farther away.

After three days, the long-unseen Grandmaster Uncle finally appeared, impatiently leading them to the rear mountain: "In a moment, the Heavenly Void Sect will send a few disciples to join you in the pre-entry trial; you all must perk up your spirits, don't disgrace me and your master! You....

Before he finished speaking, Shi Ran suddenly pointed at the sky and shouted, "Everyone, quick look, a UFO!"

What the heck!? Grandmaster Uncle Qingyuan lifted his head, only to see a splendidly decorated cloud boat slowly approaching in the sky. He was furious, blowing his beard and glaring: "Ignorant! This is called a cloud boat! A cloud boat!" He warned Shi Ran with his gaze: "From now on, stay quiet a bit! Did you hear not to shout?"

Shi Ran nodded, nervously watching the magnificent cloud boat slowly descend, marveling inwardly, "As expected of a cultivation world—nothing you can imagine is impossible!"

The cloud boat was entirely adorned with gold leaf, extraordinarily splendid! Like a tiny ship flying in the sky, free and romantic! Grandmaster Uncle said among the seven great sects, only the Floating Dream Sect lacks a cloud boat; she endured! She gritted her teeth so hard they could break, yet made no sound.

But upon seeing Wei Yuzhu, she really couldn't hold back.

A figure burst into everyone's view like a blazing flame.

She wore not the usual soft, graceful robes of female disciples, but a set of sharply tailored battle attire; the fabric was an extremely deep, rich red, like solidified aged wine stain, tightly wrapping her well-proportioned, power-filled figure.

The collar slightly opened, revealing a dazzlingly white neck and exquisite collarbone, not frivolous but exuding a disdainful arrogance. Her black hair like a waterfall was not coiled into an elaborate bun; only a single red gold pin inlaid with fire-cloud patterns loosely held up most of it, a few unruly strands falling at her cheeks, adding a touch of wild nonchalance.

Her beauty was extremely aggressive.

Her face was a masterpiece carefully carved by the Creator, yet somehow endowed with a piercing sharpness. Brows like ink paintings, slanting into the temples, carrying an undeniable sharpness. Deep-set eyes, with slightly upturned phoenix eyes, now filled with undisguised fury.

As her gaze flowed, it was both toxic and bright, like a fire-tempered blade; wherever it swept, disciples instantly fell silent like cicadas in winter. Her nose bridge was high and straight, her lines beautiful yet revealing steadfastness. Most striking were her lips—full and lush, colored a brilliant vermilion, now tightly pressed, yet the corners held a hint of a smile-not-smile, a cold sneer.

Truly top-notch! Shi Ran couldn't help turning her head to look at Gu Yusheng.

Just last night she had been kissing Mei Ruoxue, and today she sees such a great beauty—what will he do?

However, Gu Yusheng didn't react at all; he exchanged greetings with the others as if he hadn't seen that great beauty.

"Heavenly Void Sect disciple Wei Yuzhu, accompanied by her fellow disciples, pays respects to Immortal Venerable Qingyuan!" Wei Yuzhu smiled faintly, like a rose in full bloom, gorgeous and charming.

Shi Ran's gaze uncontrollably went back and forth between Wei Yuzhu and Mei Ruoxue—Wei Yuzhu gorgeous, Mei Ruoxue elegant; one is peerless in charm, radiating splendor, the other naturally beautiful, pure as ice and jade; one is a vermilion mole, the other a white moonlight.

Shi Ran rested her chin in thought; theoretically she thought Wei Yuzhu had the edge, yet she still sided with Mei Ruoxue—who let her and Gu Yusheng be childhood sweethearts? Moreover, Mei Ruoxue is her beloved senior martial sister.

She just didn't know whom Gu Yusheng would choose; if the two beauties were to fight over him, whom should he support?

"Shi Ran! Shi Ran!"

"Huh? Huh! Here! I'm here!" Shi Ran, lost in her daydream smirk, was suddenly called out; she lifted her head, and Grandmaster Uncle frowned at her, "This is your Senior Martial Sister Wei! Come pay your respects!"

"Oh!" Realizing it was her turn to be introduced, Shi Ran hurried forward, "Shi Ran greets Senior Martial Sister Wei!"

Wei Yuzhu lightly raised her hand, "Junior Martial Sister, no need for excessive courtesy; the Floating Dream Sect truly is a land of outstanding people and spiritual vitality—Junior Martial Sister, you are truly pretty; look, even my junior brothers don't know where to look!"

Really? Shi Ran furtively lifted her gaze; indeed, the several male cultivators opposite were darting their eyes between her and her senior sister. She didn't like such scrutinizing looks, so her expression remained bland, "Senior Sister, you overpraise me!"

Wei Yuzhu didn't mind Shi Ran's attitude; she gave a faint smile, her beautiful eyes boldly scanning Gu Yusheng, "This must be Junior Martial Sister Gu, Zi Jin Yu Sheng unobstructed, the Floating Immortal sleeves seek to embrace."

Her gaze flowed, exuding charm; her jade hand lightly lifted and touched, the teasing meaning spilling beyond the screen: "Hearing about it is no match for seeing it—Junior Martial Sister Gu truly has the bearing of an immortal!"

This is a bit over the top, but aside from Shi Ran not knowing, everyone else knows Wei Yuzhu's conduct; she relies on her beauty, having practically slept with all handsome men in the cultivation world, her reputation renowned, dual cultivation aids her progress.

Yet after all this dual cultivation, she's still lingering in the Golden Core stage, which is somewhat interesting; however, if one could become Wei Yuzhu's admirer, surely no one would refuse—after all, her looks speak for themselves.

Everyone's gaze turned to Gu Yusheng, wanting to see how he would respond to the beauties' favor.

Unexpectedly, Gu Yusheng first took a step back, his brows and eyes unmoving, not even lifting his gaze slightly, and said lightly, "Senior Sister, you overpraise!"

Then there was nothing after; everyone was stunned, even Wei Yuzhu herself a little surprised. She chuckled inwardly, "Yo, who would have thought—he looks like a decent guy, full of energy, yet he's actually restrained!" But no matter, the person she has her eye on is not yet out of reach.

Junior Martial Sister, we have plenty of time ahead!

It's started, it's started! Shi Ran's eyes couldn't hide her excitement—the drama of two women vying for one man is about to begin!
