Cohabitation with Sword Spirit-Chapter 164 - 134: The Wheel

October 19, 2017

The Inner Sect Training Ground of the Li Family Mansion had probably never welcomed so many unfamiliar guests.

Especially the Underground Sword Cave—although it had been abandoned for a long time, it was once one of the main areas of the Inner Sect Training Ground, and even the ordinary people in the mansion wouldn't be allowed in.

"So, how on earth did you all get in here..."

Li Wanqing looked at the group of mischievous sisters in front of her, raising her hands in surrender and asked a question she had already anticipated in her heart.

Opposite her, a tall woman wearing a bright red veil laughed softly, her slightly hoarse, magnetic voice particularly pleasant.

"Well, you know, for us outsiders, not to mention coming in here, even the entrance to the Li Family Mansion isn't open to us. But as soon as we said we were here to find Li Wanqing, they eagerly showed us the way."

Li Wanqing shook her head, "Sister Yingying, stop joking like that. If the Li Family servants were that easy to talk to, the whole courtyard would have been in chaos long ago."

The woman named Yingying shrugged, "Alright, to tell the truth, I told them that if Li Wanqing couldn't see us, she'd be very angry, and the consequences would be serious. Then they wiped their cold sweat and brought us here to the Sword Cave."

Li Wanqing thought for a moment and found this explanation much more reasonable.

"Anyway, this isn't the place to talk, there are people trying to train..."

"Oh, you mean that handsome young guy and the pretty girl over there? They said it's fine, as long as we don't make loud noises or disturb the operation of the Spirit Vein here, it won't interfere with their training."

Li Wanqing immediately turned back to glare at Wang Jiu, who returned her glare with a warm smile that said, "No need to thank me, I'm just that considerate," which made Li Wanqing grit her teeth.

Sure enough, there's no good man under the sky! I was even thinking of calling you father-in-law for Qingming's sake! And now you've betrayed me, once a few days ago, and now face-to-face again!

Yingying laughed, "Don't be so nervous, it won't take long... But the way you are now is really cute."

As she spoke, the tall, curvaceous woman took two steps forward, scrutinizing Li Wanqing, and said, "Hmm, you're even cuter like this, before you always dressed in men's clothing, handsome indeed, but it wasted your pretty face."

With that, her delicate white fingers gently traced Li Wanqing's face, "It's truly enviable."

Li Wanqing felt something was off with the atmosphere, and didn't care about the teasing and counter-teasing relationship between her and her sisters, and lightly asked, "Sister Yingying, what's going on?"

"Ah, to keep it short, we're here to say goodbye."

"Goodbye?" Li Wanqing frowned, then repeated after a moment, "Goodbye!?" 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶

"To be precise, it should be graduation." Yingying's smile carried a bit of bitterness, "After being taken care of by you for so long, it's time to stop being lifelong big babies."

Li Wanqing froze, "Sister Yingying, you..."

Behind Yingying, a mature and charming woman dabbed her eyes with a handkerchief, "Wanqing, there's nothing to say, seeing you wear that dress makes us happier than anything, you've been stirring things up in QingCyan Cloud City for years, and in Yuqing Mountain as well, you're finally settling down."

"Wait, what do you mean, settle down..."

Another lively, lovely girl with tears said, "Sister Wanqing, I used to love your manly attire, wishing I could marry you right away. But that day when I saw you in a dress, I felt happier than if I had gotten married... Sister Wanqing, you've helped so many find happiness, now you should take care of yourself."

"Lan'Er, you must have misunderstood something..." Cold sweat broke out as Li Wanqing said this, she hadn't felt this panicked since she trained Li Ruwen to be the second Little Tree at the age of nine.

Lan'Er shook her head, "Sister Wanqing, we've all decided, from here on, we want to be independent and strong women, just like you."

"But..."

Yingying stepped forward and covered Li Wanqing's lips with her finger, "Don't say anything more, it wasn't easy for us to make this decision, if you continue, we might not be able to leave."

Li Wanqing raised her eyebrows, saying nothing more.

"Besides us, some girls cried their hearts out and couldn't come, so they asked us to give you this." Yingying said, handing a letter to Li Wanqing.

Li Wanqing glanced at it, her pupils slightly contracting.

"This is a pledge, I got everyone to sign it—unless there are other wildflowers outside I don't know about." Yingying explained, "We sisters promise from now on to be independent and strong women like you always nag about, pursuing our own happiness, never again being caged birds reliant on others, and of course, since we won't rely on anyone, we can't rely on you anymore."

Li Wanqing sighed, "Sister Yingying..."

"I know what you want to say, yeah, it's fine if we just live happily together. Being with you, there's endless joy every day, like a real family... But that all depends on your one-sided efforts. We've all been through heartbreak, you've pulled us out of predicaments, with you by our side, there's nothing to want for. But what about you? You didn't have to wrong yourself, by heart you seem to look better in dresses anyway. Alright, don't get excited, no matter how you try to deny it now, we won't listen."

After saying this, Yingying patted Li Wanqing's cheek, "Don't let the decision we sisters worked so hard to make just go to waste, now, just say your goodbyes to everyone. Come on, don't frown so much, it's not like we'll never see each other again, you're always welcome to visit my little shop, you're always my guest, but that pink bill will never appear again."

Li Wanqing helplessly shook her head, finally saying no more.

Yingying then turned to her sisters behind her and said, "Alright, everyone say goodbye to Wanqing, get in line, each person is limited to one minute, choose your own way to say goodbye... Rui'Er, put your clothes on! One minute isn't enough time for whatever you're trying to do!"

With that, Yingying first kissed Li Wanqing on the lips...

——

On the other side, plainly visible not far from the Sword Cave yet treated as a transparent person, Li Chaolu watched Li Wanqing's farewell ceremony somewhat dazedly—considering that Li Wanqing showed no resistance throughout, allowing others to do as they wish, it somewhat resembled a ceremonial farewell to a body.

The scene was so bizarre that Li Chaolu forgot the reflexes she'd built through hard work over the past month, and stopped her training to watch Li Wanqing and her close feminine friends bid farewell one by one.

"Mr. Wang Jiu, I don't know why, but I actually feel a bit moved... I never expected Sister Wanqing to have so many stories."

In her impression, Li Wanqing was a lesbian maniac who loved stealing hearts and causing trouble, leaving countless victims throughout Cyan Cloud City. But from today's events, it seemed the previous impression had many inaccuracies.

"But no matter how touching, watching a group of girls kissing feels a bit weird." As Li Chaolu spoke, she saw a hot and flirtatious woman who, while kissing Li Wanqing, deliberately reached for her butt... only for her hand to be slapped away by Yingying.

Li Chaolu felt a chill to her bones, involuntarily shivering.

Wang Jiu thought for a moment, "Would you like some hot water?"

"Huh? Thank you."

The farewell ceremony lasted about an hour, and although the scene was somewhat romantic, towards the end, as several young girls started crying, tears spread among everyone like an infectious disease, even the most matured Yingying had reddened eyes.

"Alright, now that everyone has said goodbye to Wanqing, let's not cause the Li Family any more trouble, and leave with me."

A little girl, crying her eyes out, said, "Sister Yingying, I want to drink."

Yingying said, "Alright, those who want a drink, come with me to the shop, I'll bring out all of my treasured Forgetfulness Water, we won't return until we're drunk!"

"Yes!" As the girls replied in unison, raising one small fist after another, as if they were warriors about to charge into battle.
