Douluo: Phoenix God Descends, Emperor Flame Burns the Sky

Chapter 342 Huh, is this a confession?

"Let's not stand on ceremony between us, let's just have a chat."

A hint of reminiscence flashed in Shui Shengxiao's eyes.

"When I was young, I was just like you. I liked pretty girls. Back then, I thought desire was love. But in the end, we parted ways after encountering a small setback."

"If you truly like someone, you'll wish them all the best."

As Shui Shengxiao spoke, she began to talk freely.

Lin Xiao nodded, adopting a thoughtful posture, maximizing her emotional appeal.

Shui Shengxiao was very satisfied with this.

After sighing deeply, he said:
"The stronger a man is, the more likely he is to philander, especially someone with a handsome face like yours. To be honest, the fact that you can overcome your lust and remain chaste proves that you are not the kind of man who is easily controlled by desire."

“I know your two senior sisters, Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling, right? You have spent more time with them than with Bing’er. In terms of investment and sacrifices made by their families for you, they are far beyond what my Shui family can compare to. In fact, I can’t give you anything at all, and I am the one who owes you.”

From herbal jelly to whale gelatin to a host of other resources.

Shui Shengxiao saw this clearly. Her two daughters had reached the Soul King and Soul Master levels at the age of 12 respectively. It goes without saying who was behind this achievement, and Bing'er was often anxious about it.

He sighed:

"From a self-interest perspective, I shouldn't say this; but from a moral perspective, I disdain to hide it. I, Shui Shengxiao, may not be as good as the Ye family head or the Poison Douluo, but I am still capable of being a qualified father."

"To put it bluntly, a talent like you, let alone a 16-year-old Soul Saint with such terrifying strength, even if you were just a 16-year-old Soul King, would have plenty of families and sects eager to give you their daughters. But I, Shui Shengxiao, only want to consider Bing'er's happiness."

"Bing'er can't bear to part with you, she will definitely agree, and because of her inner shame, because she can't compare to the help the Dugu family and the Ye family have given you, she will absolutely not ask anything of you."

"I have only one piece of advice for you..."

Shui Shengxiao's expression turned serious.

Lin Xiao also sat up straight.

Then, the prospective father-in-law slowly spoke:

"No matter what, never forget your original intention. Since the girl is with you, don't be pretentious. As long as she still loves you, you must never abandon her."

"If I find out you're fickle or use the silent treatment, I'll drag Bing'er back to the family by force!"

Shui Shengxiao's attitude was now clear.

He approves of Shui Bing'er and Lin Xiao's relationship.

But Lin Xiao cannot let Shui Bing'er down.

Lin Xiao smiled slightly.

"If that day ever comes, Uncle Shui, you'll spit your saliva in my face and call me a heartless and ungrateful beast."

Shui Shengxiao glanced at Lin Xiao and figured that the boy was a reliable person, so she decided to impart some of her true skills to him.

Shui Shengxiao sighed and gazed into the distance.

"Heroes have always emerged from among the young, and beauties have always loved heroes. Back then, youth was truly dashing."

"Finally, I, Uncle Shui, will impart my true experience to you. I hope you will listen carefully and remember it well. I have many wives and concubines, but the family atmosphere is harmonious. Bing'er and Yue'er are not born of the same mother, but they are as close as sisters. Do you know how difficult this is in a large family?"

Lin Xiao was moved upon hearing this.

broken.

Uncle Shui is an honest man; he truly teaches you valuable knowledge!
"Please teach me, Uncle Shui!"

Shui Shengxiao touched a non-existent mustache at the corner of his mouth, nodded to himself, and thought to himself that the boy was teachable.

Then, her face flushed slightly, and she said:
"Nothing special, just that everyone gets their share of the rain and dew."

"Lin Xiao, remember this saying: People are not worried about scarcity, but about inequality."

Upon hearing this, Lin Xiao pondered for a while.

What this means is that we need to take care of everyone?

But how exactly should we take care of them? Well, gifts are a must, and the time spent together should also be balanced.

As Lin Xiao pondered the deeper meaning behind Shui Shengxiao's words, Shui Shengxiao rubbed her aching lower back and groaned inwardly.

How difficult it is to ensure that everyone receives the rain and dew equally!

Even a powerful Soul Saint like him has been experiencing cold hands and feet and frequent fatigue lately.

Feeding each wife is easier said than done!
Lin Xiao is young and doesn't understand yet, but he'll understand in the future. What's wrong with a man having a few more women? He doesn't have affairs or visit brothels, so what's wrong with that?

The biggest factor affecting family harmony is dissatisfaction in the marital relationship.

After having a long talk with his future father-in-law, Lin Xiao felt he had gained a lot, and even his anxiety disappeared. He was more focused on the practical advice his future father-in-law had given him.

Shui Shengxiao looked at Lin Xiao with the same eyes she would look at her future son-in-law.

suddenly.

The father-in-law's expression shifted slightly. "Lin Xiao, I know about your relationship with Bing'er, but I don't know what you think of Yue'er? Actually, I think you're a trustworthy person..."

Lin Xiao was taken aback, then burst into laughter.

"Uncle Shui, what are you thinking? My two senior sisters and Bing'er are so deeply connected that our lives are intertwined. That's why I can't bear to part with any of them and dare not let them down."

There are countless beautiful women in the world, and countless women who like me, but whether we can truly be together depends on fate.

Shui Shengxiao's expression froze.

He wondered to himself: He really didn't know what Lin Xiao was worried about. How could any other boy attract so many girls? Was he really unaware of his own abilities and modeling skills, or was he just too low-key?

Even someone who loves their daughter so much would love to entrust her entirely to him.

Perhaps this is also proof that he cares about Bing'er.

Shui Shengxiao waved her hand, "I was being too talkative. Let's talk about the future later."

"Bing'er is a trainee at Tianshui Academy."

"I'll be back later."

The story is a long one. The Shui family is the major shareholder of Tianshui Academy, and Shui Bing'er, as the current champion of the Soul Master Competition and a powerful Soul Emperor, was asked to go to Tianshui Academy to guide the students.

It also serves as motivational chicken soup.

Shui Shengxiao felt a headache coming on when she said this, "Recently, the Spirit Hall has been hinting that it wants to take over the five elemental academies. If we don't agree, we might be in trouble... Sigh, we can only wait and see."

……

Shui Bing'er returned before evening.

Someone told her that Lin Xiao had returned, so Shui Bing'er put aside what she was doing and rushed back. Sure enough, she saw Lin Xiao and was overjoyed.

"Brother Lin Xiao!"

A girl with long, sky-blue hair jogged over, lifting her skirt.

Lin Xiao patted her head, and she squinted her eyes like a kitten, tiptoed and rubbed against Lin Xiao's palm, savoring the warmth she hadn't felt for a year.

"Bing'er, I miss you so much."

"Bing'er misses Brother Lin Xiao too!"

Lin Xiao embraced Shui Bing'er.

The girl felt such an intimate embrace for the first time, her fair ears blushed pink, and she heard the boy's soft murmurs.

Fortunately, we have a long future together.

huh?

Is this...is this a confession?!
P.S.: *sobs* I'm begging for monthly votes at the end of the month, my darlings...
