Chapter 259: Huaishui Dragon

Bai Wei had a relatively fulfilling day.

He cleaned the house in the morning, took care of chores, and made lunch.

Hatsurai Wagaizuma also knows how to make Japanese bento, but it’s not good to eat cold rice and dishes. He remembered a certain bento recipe from "Shokugeki no Soma" and tried to recreate it, but it ended up as a disastrous failure. He improvised and brought it to the hospital.

Sakurai Shiru’s body is recovering and needs nutrition. Although the hospital food is good, she is quite happy with the new flavors that Bai Wei brought. She ate two big bowls and had a happy expression on her face.

Surprisingly, she showed some clingy behavior. Is this a good thing?

The always strong girl is no longer as sensible as before, but shows enough vulnerability that can break through someone’s defenses.

Contrast.

Bai Wei prefers her to stay strong, but as an older brother figure, he doesn’t mind her being a little spoiled. It has been over a week since the peak of the Scarlet Curse, and she seems at ease and without any worries.

There are only two days left until they can obtain the Golden Branch. Once they plant it in the yard and include her in the witch family tree, she won’t be affected by the Scarlet Curse again. Thinking this, Bai Wei feels more at ease.

Everything is progressing in an orderly manner, a beautiful life, a bright future.

After Bai Wei packed up the utensils, he left the hospital.

After he left, Doctor Kurosawa came over and asked Sakurai Shiru, "Are you satisfied?"

Sakurai Shiru nodded and smiled, "Although it’s a bit embarrassing, I did act spoiled a bit."

"A child who cries gets candy. It’s okay not to be too reasonable, at least he won’t mind."

"Actually, there is something I want to do," Sakurai Shiru whispered and winked.

"Hmm?"

"I want to learn music," Sakurai Shiru said as she looked at the TV screen, where a gentle and melodious song was playing.

Hatsurai Wagaizuma, a popular singer, debuted half a year ago and became a super dark horse sweeping all the charts.

Kurosawa Yaka teasingly said, "You don’t want to do math problems anymore?"

"It gets boring studying all day," Sakurai Shiru said softly, "I want to learn a song and play it for my dad when we visit the grave."

Kurosawa Yaka nodded softly, "That sounds good."

She also felt a bit worried. The power of music can move people’s hearts, but in Yingzhou’s music industry, it’s not just a matter of talent.

She also stared at the woman on the screen but quickly looked away. These things she didn’t want to care too much about.

With Scarlet Curse in the forefront, it’s better to consider saving more people. There is not much medicine left. Your Majesty, please bless your people.

In the afternoon, Bai Wei went to Izumi Dojo to continue teaching Wing Chun and prevent being taken advantage of by a group of unmarried and married women. However, with Xue Hanlei as a warning, he now feels that dealing with these women isn’t so difficult. If it weren’t for the need to make a living, he would rather spend time with the young boys, at least they are genuinely dedicated to practicing martial arts.

After taking a bath and preparing dinner, I told Yagyū Simozi that I needed to go out for about two days.

My little sister froze, holding her rice bowl, and started asking questions. The first thing she said was, "Is it related to a female fairy?"

I have to say, she is indeed my little sister, her sixth sense is really accurate.

Bai Wei opened his mouth, not knowing how to dodge the question.

Although it’s not going out with a female fairy, the person involved is a married woman, which is even more dangerous, like testing the boundaries of morality and law.

Bai Wei had to explain that it was related to the Four Seas Group.

Yagyū Simozi asked if it was about business.

Bai Wei nodded and said it was about business. He added that he is not a businessman, and this time he is going to repay a personal favor.

After listening, my little sister reluctantly accepted it and stopped asking further questions.

She added that after the Gray Tide ended, it would also be the spring break at Far East University, and she wanted to go back to the Ming Country to relax.

Bai Wei said it was completely fine.

Yagyū Simozi finally became happy. She believed that once they returned to the Ming Country, her older brother would belong to her alone. During the spring break, they could stick together every day, which would be so comfortable.

She obviously overlooked Sakurai Shiru , who had to deal with household registration issues when she returned to the country. And she didn’t know that Bai Wei was lured away by a married woman from the Ming Country.

Poor little sister, lacking information, deceived and played by bad women.

…

After dinner, Bai Wei thought that the trip would be short, so he went directly to the New Tokyo Port and arrived at the designated meeting place.

"Sisters at odds?"

"It’s just minor conflicts and disagreements between family members. I respect my sister, but she doesn’t respect me as much." Yun Wuxin sighed, saying, "I am no longer the naive child who was easily captivated by a candied fruit stick after coming down from the mountain."

"Not at all like a member of the immortal clan."

"I am not from the immortal clan in the first place, it’s just something others call us without our consent." Yun Wuxin said, "Is being able to fly on a sword considered immortal? The Shu Mountain Sword Sect never considers itself as part of the immortal clan. Its disciples prefer to be called heroes during their travels and do not shy away from worldly affairs. They only believe in the purity of the spiritual realm, and their sword shines brighter with each strike. Only by washing the sword through the mundane world can it possess the clarity of the mortal realm."

"So, in the pursuit of enlightenment, the Shu Mountain Sword Sect is inferior to the Bai Yu Jing."

"There is no comparison of superiority or inferiority. The dominant force in the world of swordsmanship, the Shu Mountain, never underestimates the Bai Yu Jing." Yun Wuxin shook her head.

"That’s what your sister said."

"… Just baseless words. How can the path of purity in the mortal world be weaker than the trivial path of ascension?" Bai Wei evaluated, "I’ve found it sensible." He looked at Yun Wuxin again, his eyes showing a hint of appreciation. "I didn’t realize before that we could actually have a decent conversation."

Yun Wuxin’s tone remained calm, her attitude unchanged. "It was you who made assumptions from the beginning. My attitude hasn’t changed since the start."

Bai Wei nodded. "Perhaps." He added, "But I still dislike your sister."

"As long as it’s not hatred, it’s fine. It’s normal to feel repulsion and enmity towards others. If it turns into hatred, it will only bring negative outcomes." Yun Wuxin said.

"So, I’m looking forward… to the day when she falls flat on her face. She’s been living a smooth and easy life, not treating people as human beings." Bai Wei sneered.

Yun Wuxin didn’t know how to respond. Perhaps she also had such thoughts in her heart. Without going through some experiences, one cannot truly grow. Under her own despair, she had abandoned certain burdens.

She remained silent.

The two of them also stopped talking. Bai Wei’s mood seemed good, because with Yun Wuxin here, he didn’t have to worry about his wife setting a trap for him.

Even if there was a trap, it wouldn’t be safe.

The silence didn’t last too long, and after three minutes, Xue Hanlei arrived.

Contrary to her usual self, she changed out of her casual college girl attire and wore a purple cheongsam instead. The cheongsam was embroidered with golden thread in the pattern of dragon scales, and her long hair was styled slightly curly, cascading down her shoulders, exuding a mature charm.

"You both arrived early, but it’s just in time. We should board the ship now." Xue Hanlei walked between the two, heading straight towards the sea. The heels of her high shoes lightly tapped the cement ground by the seaside, and instantly, waves surged from beneath the sea, transforming into a massive whirlpool. A medium-sized cruise ship capable of accommodating hundreds of people rose from the peaceful harbor. Only the sea tribes who respectfully waited were on board, and an invisible force pushed the seawater away.

Xue Hanlei turned around and faced the cruise ship, with a burning mint-flavored cigarette held between her index and middle fingers. The light illuminated her figure, casting shadows that extended to the feet of the two individuals. A confident smile filled her sweet features.

"Let me reintroduce myself… I am Huaishui dragon, Xue Hanlei!"
