Prodigy x overachiever
Blurb:
Yu Qiushui was the only person in Wuliang Mountain to reach the Deification stage at a hundred years old and cultivate the Wuliang Heart Art to the ninth tier, a peerless genius. But she was ambushed and trapped in a perilous place. After barely making it back to Wuliang Mountain, she went into seclusion for a hundred years.
When she emerged from seclusion, the sect leader of Wuliang Mountain was waiting outside her cave, full of anticipation.
Yu Qiushui's injuries had healed, but for some inexplicable reason, her cultivation had weakened considerably. On top of that, she had a baby in her arms.
The sect leader was confused and deeply shocked.
She couldn't understand how anyone could emerge from a century of seclusion with a child.
Yu Qiushui couldn't figure out where the child had come from either, but the child carried her innate spiritual energy. There was no doubt they shared her bloodline.
After struggling to raise the child to the age of three, Yu Qiushui found the child's face more and more familiar.
Then, at a cultivation debate hosted by the immortal sects, she suddenly came to her senses as she watched a woman onstage speaking with ease.
The child looked a little like Wei Xiuzhu, her sworn enemy of half a lifetime.
Utterly absurd!
Yu Qiushui deliberately kept her distance from Wei Xiuzhu, afraid she might misunderstand something. But this woman, whose mind held nothing but cultivation, insisted on coming after her.
When Wei Xiuzhu caught up, Yu Qiushui reacted quickly and pressed the little head beneath its tiger hat against her chest.
Wei Xiuzhu's voice rang in her ear, demanding:
"Why have you made no progress in your cultivation after a hundred years in seclusion? I heard you're raising a child, too..."
There was a hint of exasperation in Wei Xiuzhu's words, as if she felt Yu Qiushui was wasting her potential. But before she could finish, she sensed familiar innate spiritual energy coming from the child Yu Qiushui was protecting so fiercely.
"..."
How could this child have her innate spiritual energy?
Wei Xiuzhu's expression changed again and again, and her gaze toward Yu Qiushui grew complicated.
After a long pause, her tone suddenly softened. "So that's what you mean by your feelings for me."
Yu Qiushui: "???"
What does that mean?
