Douluo Continent: Heavenly Mystery System

Chapter 5 Shui Bing'er is misunderstood

After being struck by lightning, Ye Xiaofeng's hair stood on end, smoke billowed from his entire body, and his face was completely blackened, with only his eyes and teeth visible.

"Young Master Ye, what sins have you committed that even the heavens are not willing to let you go!" Xue Wu said in a lewd tone.

"Damn it, I only said one sentence, is it really necessary for you to strike me with lightning?" Ye Xiaofeng's mind was racing.

"Are you... alright?" Shui Bing'er asked with concern.

"It's alright, let's go back first." Ye Xiaofeng clearly didn't want everyone to know about his spirit ring.

After returning to the inn, Ye Xiaofeng quickly washed up and changed his clothes. Just then, he heard a knock on the door.

Ye Xiaofeng went to open the door and it was Shui Bing'er. Shui Bing'er said with a smile, "What? Won't you let me in and sit down?"

"How could that be? Is something wrong, Miss Bing'er?" Ye Xiaofeng asked in confusion.

"Can't I come to see you if there's nothing wrong?" Shui Bing'er deliberately made things difficult for Ye Xiaofeng.

"Of course, hehe." Ye Xiao poured Shui Bing'er a glass of water, sat down, and could only force a smile.

"Now that there's no one around, you can speak," Shui Bing'er said as she walked to the table and sat down, her demeanor instantly changing.

"Miss Bing'er, what did you say? I don't understand." Ye Xiaofeng knew that Shui Bing'er was asking about what happened during the day, but she didn't want anyone to know.

"Are you even hiding this from me?" Shui Bing'er said with an unhappy expression.

"I... then you have to keep it a secret for me." Ye Xiaofeng knew that he couldn't hide his affairs from Shui Bing'er and the others; it was only a matter of time before they found out.

"Look," Ye Xiaofeng said, as the spirit ring beneath his feet changed from a ten-year white spirit ring to a hundred-year spirit ring.

"How is this possible? Could you be a soul beast transformed into a human?" Shui Bing'er was stunned when she saw Ye Xiaofeng's two martial souls' soul rings. In just one day, six ten-year soul rings had been upgraded to hundred-year soul rings. This was truly unprecedented.

"Miss Bing'er, do you think I look like a soul beast transformed into a human?" Ye Xiaofeng said with a smile.

"No one else can know about this," Shui Bing'er said nervously.

"I know, but Miss Bing'er is no ordinary person." Ye Xiaofeng remembered Shui Bing'er's rescue.

"Just call me Bing'er from now on, don't keep calling me 'girl'," Shui Bing'er said, her face slightly flushed.

"Bing'er, from now on you can call me Xiaofeng," Ye Xiaofeng said with a smile.

"Xiaofeng, thank you for helping me obtain the Soul Ring today." Shui Bing'er didn't know what to say, so she could only make small talk.

"Bing'er, you saved me, so it's only right that I help you," Ye Xiaofeng said, patting his chest.

"Stop bringing up the life-saving favor all the time. From now on, let's be friends," Shui Bing'er said.

"Bing'er, actually, I couldn't awaken my martial soul when I was six years old. I tried for four whole years, but I just couldn't awaken my martial soul. My mother was forced to let me leave home. Later, I encountered pirates on the way. At that time, I always thought I was dead, but God didn't let me die. In the end, you saved me." Ye Xiaofeng recalled being ridiculed and forced into exile on Seagod Island. The water cup in his hand was crushed by Ye Xiaofeng.

The broken glass cut Ye Xiaofeng's hand, drawing blood, but Ye Xiaofeng didn't feel any pain. This scene frightened Shui Bing'er.

For the first time, she realized how difficult it had been for this boy, who was the same age as her, all these years. Ye Xiaofeng bickered with Xue Wu and the others, and his cheerful personality showed no sign of the pain in his heart.

At that moment, Shui Bing'er felt a pang of heartache. She took out a handkerchief from her bosom and gently wrapped it around the wound on Ye Xiaofeng's hand.

"No one will bully you anymore," Shui Bing'er said, holding Ye Xiaofeng's hands. Gradually, Ye Xiaofeng calmed down.

Just then, Ye Xiaofeng's door was pushed open, and Xue Wu came in and said, "Young Master Ye, have you seen my eldest sister?"

When Xue Wu saw Shui Bing'er holding Ye Xiaofeng's hands, she was so surprised that she couldn't close her mouth.

"I didn't see you two being intimate, I didn't see anything." Xuewu ran straight back to her room.

When Shui Bing'er saw Xue Wu rush in, she quickly pulled her hands back, but Xue Wu still saw this. At this moment, Shui Bing'er's face was as red as a ripe apple.

"Xiaofeng, you take a rest, I'm going back now." Shui Bing'er had no choice but to find a mouse hole to crawl into; the best of the thirty-six stratagems is to run away.

"Xuewu, didn't you go to find my sister? Why did you come back alone?" Shuiyue'er and the others saw that Shuibing'er had returned but couldn't find her, so they asked Xuewu to go look for her. Now Xuewu has come back alone and can't find Shuibing'er.

"I didn't see my eldest sister in Young Master Ye's room, I didn't see anything," Xue Wu said, shaking her head.

"You mean, my sister is in Ye Xiaofeng's room?" Shui Yue'er felt something was off when she heard Xue Wu's words.

"Ah, no, when did I say that my older sister was in his room?" Xue Wu denied it outright.

"What are you talking about?" Just then, Shui Bing'er returned and heard the noise in the room.

"Just now, Xuewu said..." Before Shuiyue could finish speaking, Xuewu quickly covered Shuibing'er's mouth with her hand.

"No, it's nothing," Xuewu said awkwardly.

"Sister, is your hand injured?" Shui Yue'er noticed the bloodstains on Shui Bing'er's hand.

"Ah, it's nothing, just a minor injury." Shui Bing'er had left in a hurry and forgot to wash the blood off her hands.

"You all go down to eat first. Oh, Xuewu, you stay here." Shui Bing'er dismissed the others and kept Xuewu behind.

"Big sister, are you trying to kill me to cover your tracks? I...I didn't see anything!" Xuewu said nervously after the others left.

"Tell me, what did you see?" Shui Bing'er said coldly.

"I only saw a little bit, but I won't say anything about you two holding hands intimately and showing affection," Xuewu said nervously.

"You silly girl, when did I ever show affection with Xiaofeng? I was just bandaging his wound," Shui Bing'er explained.

"Xiaofeng, you're calling me so intimately," Xuewu was increasingly misunderstanding.

"If you keep talking nonsense, I'll tie you up and send you to his bed," Shui Bing'er said through gritted teeth in anger.

"Okay, but are you sure you're willing to part with it, big sister?" Xue Wu said with a slightly lewd smile.

Just as Shui Bing'er was about to hit Xue Wu, Xue Wu was not about to let Shui Bing'er succeed and immediately turned around and ran away.

Ye Xiaofeng, who was on the other side, had just come out of the room and saw Shui Yue'er and the others, but he did not see Shui Bing'er and Xue Wu.

"Moon Maiden, where are your sister and Snow Dance Maiden?"

"They're talking in the room, we're going downstairs first," Shui Yue'er said, noticing Ye Xiaofeng's injured hand.

"Your hand is injured?" Shui Yue'er noticed that the handkerchief in Ye Xiaofeng's hand looked familiar, as if she had seen it somewhere before.

"No," Ye Xiaofeng said, turning his injured hand behind his back.

"Give it to me, why are you hiding?" Shuiyue'er remembered what Xuewu had said when she returned, and then saw the familiar handkerchief.

"Tell me honestly, how far have things progressed between you and my sister?" Shui Yue'er asked with a curious look.

"Ah, my relationship with Bing'er is just that of friends, please don't misunderstand." Ye Xiaofeng's explanation only made things worse, leading people to speculate further.

"One of you is calling Bing'er, and the other is calling Xiaofeng. You two are calling each other so intimately," Xuewu, who had just run over, overheard the conversation.

"Uh..." Ye Xiaofeng didn't know how to continue the conversation.

"Young Master Ye, quickly call out to Yue'er, let me hear it," Shui Yue'er said playfully.

"Go away, go away! What Young Master Ye? Xiaofeng, call me Wu'er, let's hear it!" Xuewu said directly, which made all the sisters laugh.

Ye Xiaofeng suspected that these women had taken some kind of medicine today, and that they were all acting strangely.

"Shut up, all of you!" Shui Bing'er was both amused and exasperated by what she had just witnessed. Ultimately, it was all Xue Wu's doing.

"Big sister, if you're eating meat, you should at least leave a bowl of soup for the sisters, right? This isn't fair, sisters, don't you agree?" Xuewu started stirring things up again.

"Yes," everyone said in unison.

"Enough with the nonsense, let's eat. I don't think even food can shut you up." Shui Bing'er and her group of sisters had no choice.

Shui Bing'er sat down at table number nine, with Ye Xiaofeng sitting next to her and Xue Wu sitting on the other side of Ye Xiaofeng. The others also sat down.

Xue Wu raised her hand slightly, and the waiter immediately understood and hurried over.

"Brother, bring out all the good meat and vegetables you have in the shop," Xuewu said.

"Okay, please wait a moment, I'll bring it to you right away." After saying that, the waiter turned to leave.

"Oh, right, another plate of lamb kidneys, please," Xue Wu said to Ye Xiaofeng with a lewd smile.

"Miss, let me recommend something to you. Our signature dish is tiger penis, which is even better than lamb kidneys. Would you like a serving?" The waiter looked at Xue Wu, then at Ye Xiaofeng surrounded by a group of girls, and immediately understood what he meant.

"I want them all, it's a good time to nourish my body recently," Xue Wu said, spouting complete nonsense.

"Pfft!" Upon hearing Xue Wu's words, Shui Yue'er almost choked on the water.

"Alright, table number nine, add another serving of lamb kidneys and tiger penis!" the waiter shouted loudly.

Everyone else wished they could disappear into a mouse hole. What's wrong with Xuewu lately? She's been acting strangely.

"By the way, Miss Xuewu, do you need to take supplements? You don't look like a weak person," Ye Xiaofeng said with a puzzled look.

"Don't call me 'Miss,' it sounds too formal. You should call me 'Miss,'" Xue Wu said before she could finish.

"You can just call her Wu'er, and me Yue'er," Shui Yue'er finally got a chance to speak and quickly interjected.

"You can also call me that, Xiaofeng, Lamb Kidney, Tiger Whip, it's to help you nourish your body," Xuewu said with a mischievous smile to Ye Xiaofeng.

"Uh, Miss Xuewu, stop fooling around, let's eat first." Ye Xiaofeng quickly shut up. He couldn't talk to Xuewu anymore; the more he talked, the more outrageous it became.

Seeing that Ye Xiaofeng had fallen silent, Xue Wu also lost interest. The once lively table suddenly quieted down, and everyone ate their own food.

"Our signature dish is here!" the waiter shouted as he walked up to table number nine, eager for everyone in the restaurant to know.

Xue Wu took the lamb kidney and tiger whip that the waiter had brought over and placed it in front of Ye Xiaofeng.

"Xiaofeng, hurry up and try it, how does it taste?" Xuewu continued to fan the flames.

"Let's forget it, I'm already full," Ye Xiaofeng quickly refused.

"Big sister, you should persuade Xiaofeng. After all, he is still growing, and we can't ignore that," Xuewu said, directly pointing the finger at Shui Bing'er.
