Chapter 343 Tianshui City, Shui Bing'er
Two days later.
I received a message from Huo Hong.
The leaders of the Shui family of Tianshui City and the Feng family of Shenfeng City soon arrived in Chihuo City.
The three elemental cities of Blazing Fire City, Skywater City, and Divine Wind City, along with Elephant Armor City and Thunder City, which later joined the ranks of elemental cities, are all located more than 100 kilometers south of Heavenly Fighting City.
It is a renowned city of soul masters within the imperial city of the Heaven Dou Empire, known for its advocacy of the ultimate martial soul style and for admitting only soul masters of the same attribute.
Within the city of the five elements.
Excluding Elephant Armor City and Thunder City.
The three elemental cities of Blazing Fire City, Skywater City, and Divine Wind City have the closest relationship, sharing a common destiny, helping each other, and protecting one another.
These three element cities are distributed in a triangular shape, and are very close to each other, only a dozen kilometers apart.
This distance is within the reach of a Soul Master in an instant.
If one of the elemental cities is in trouble, the other two elemental cities will be able to quickly arrive to provide support.
This is why the three elemental cities of Blazing Fire City, Skywater City, and Divine Wind City have such a close relationship.
After all, we all prosper together, and we all suffer together.
After the people from Tianshui City and Shenfeng City arrived at Chihuo City.
The three major families of fire, water, and wind quickly held a closed-door meeting.
The meeting was to be held at the Lord's Mansion in Blazing Fire City.
Moreover, only the heads of the three major families, who are also the patriarchs, and their respective heirs are qualified to attend the meeting. Even Huo Wu is not allowed to attend.
The people from the Shui family of Tianshui City were the matriarch Shui Wuyue and the heir Shui Bing'er.
Like Huo Hong.
Mizuki also holds the positions of Lord of Tensui City and Dean of Tensui Academy.
This is a gentle and beautiful woman, about 1.7 meters tall, which is not considered tall in the Douluo Continent.
However, she has an excellent figure, slightly plump with graceful curves, and her temperament is as gentle and charming as water, revealing infinite charm in every move.
Mizuki was wearing a light blue dress and looked somewhat similar to Mizuki, but she was not Mizuki's mother; to be precise, she was Mizuki's aunt.
Mizuki's biological daughter is actually Mizuki-chan.
Shui Bing'er's biological mother was named Shui Wuxiang.
Shui Wuxiang possesses exceptional talent, only slightly weaker than Shui Wuyue. Consequently, she serves as the deputy city lord of Tianshui City, the deputy dean of Tianshui Academy, and the deputy patriarch of the Shui clan.
Shui Wuxiang and Shui Wuyue are sisters, but these two beauties married the same man, namely the father of Shui Bing'er and Shui Yue'er.
In other words, Shui Bing'er and Shui Yue'er are not only half-sisters but also cousins.
Hmm. The relationship is a bit complicated.
However, considering the special nature of the Shui family in Tianshui City, it becomes understandable.
After all, the Shui family in Tianshui City is ruled by women, and the family is almost entirely composed of women.
Perhaps due to bloodline inheritance, there are not many men in the Shui family of Tianshui City. Even if there are, most of them are men who have married into the family.
Because men are scarce in the family, there are even fewer outstanding men.
In addition, women of the Shui family rarely marry outside the family; they usually choose husbands through marriage, which also adds male members to the family.
The problem is that the more outstanding a man is, the less likely he is to choose to marry into the Shui family. Therefore, there are not many options for outstanding female members of the Shui family to marry into in Tianshui City.
This has led to a strange phenomenon.
That is, outstanding female members of the Shui family often find it difficult to find a suitable and equally outstanding husband.
However, in order to ensure the continuation of the Shui family line and its bloodline, some outstanding female members had to be forced to marry the same man and share the same husband.
Of course, this is on the premise that it is voluntary.
The Shui family does not force female members of the family to marry or bear children. Even if a woman never marries, the family will not say anything.
In this respect, the Shui family is relatively humane and enlightened.
And so, over time...
This phenomenon has become increasingly common.
Therefore, the situation of outstanding sisters marrying the same person is not uncommon in the Shui family of Tianshui City; in fact, it is quite common.
They came to Blazing City to discuss matters.
In Tianshui City, only Shui Bing'er accompanied her aunt Shui Wuyue, with whom she was as close as mother and daughter.
However, her equally talented younger sister, Shuiyue'er, did not come.
As for Shenfeng City...
The guests were Feng Teng, the city lord of Shenfeng City, the dean of Shenfeng Academy, and the patriarch of the Feng family, along with his son Feng Xiaotian, who was also the heir.
Ye Qifeng was unaware of the outcome of the negotiations between the three elemental cities of Blazing Fire City, Skywater City, and Divine Wind City.
He did not believe that a result could be reached through this closed-door meeting alone, nor did he believe that Huo Hong could persuade Tianshui City and Shenfeng City to secretly join forces with Chihuo City and the Martial Soul Hall.
Based on Ye Qifeng's understanding.
Originally, the relationship between the three elemental cities of Blazing Fire City, Heavenly Water City, and Divine Wind City and the Spirit Hall was neither good nor bad; it could only be described as average.
The situation of the Spirit Hall branches in the three elemental cities—the Blazing Fire Spirit Hall, the Heavenly Water Spirit Hall, and the Divine Wind Spirit Hall—is a good example of this.
When facing the Spirit Hall, the three elemental cities were closely connected, not exactly enemies, but not friendly either, and always remained vigilant.
but
Now, because of the Seven Winds of Night.
The attitude of Blazing Fire City towards the Spirit Hall has changed, becoming much more friendly and intimate.
Furthermore, Pope Bibidon was behind the scenes, providing support and assistance.
The Blazing City now seems to be moving closer to the Spirit Hall.
Moreover, after being persuaded by Ye Qifeng, Huo Hong was also tempted and intended to join the Spirit Hall. Otherwise, he would not have summoned the leaders of Tianshui City and Shenfeng City to discuss the matter.
In this way, there shouldn't be much of a problem in Blazing City.
As for Tianshui City...
The Soul Masters controlled by the Shui Clan are all female Soul Masters, and they are all water-attribute Soul Masters. They are naturally gentle and easy-going, not very aggressive, and their desires are not so strong. They are more likely to go with the flow.
Tianshui City will likely not refuse the offer to join the Spirit Hall, but it is unlikely to agree immediately and will probably maintain a wait-and-see attitude.
We'll have to see what choices Blazing City and Divine Wind City make before we can give an answer.
Although these are all Ye Qifeng's conjectures, they are probably not far from the truth.
If we can win over Shui Bing'er, this favored daughter of heaven, it will be helpful in conquering Tianshui City.
However, this matter depends on Huo Wu.
As for whether he can ultimately subdue Shui Bing'er, Ye Qifeng dares not guarantee it.
After all, Shui Bing'er is no ordinary person.
She was a calm, composed, intelligent, thoughtful, highly independent girl who was good at controlling herself, never showing her emotions, and whose rationality was not easily swayed by her feelings.
With such a resilient mind, Ye Qifeng dared not presume that he could win her heart completely with just an octagonal ice grass.
However, Yoruichi was also prepared for failure.
Even if we can't subdue Shui Bing'er this time, we must find a way to keep her by Huo Wu's side, let her take the Eight-Cornered Mystic Ice Grass, and then let her cultivate with Huo Wu.
This is not only for Huo Wu's sake, but also for Ye Qifeng's own future plans.
In his plan, there were some special things that he needed to entrust to Shui Bing'er.
The prerequisite is that Shui Bing'er must possess strength greater than what was originally destined for her.
Giving her the celestial-grade Eight-Starred Mystic Ice Grass would be a good choice.
This matter is not urgent for now.
It's not too late to talk about it after we've met Shui Bing'er.
By now, Huo Wu should already be waiting at the City Lord's Mansion.
Deep within the Blazing Fire Academy, by the hot spring lake, Ye Qifeng sat cross-legged on a flat boulder, slightly raising his head to glance into the distance. His gaze seemed to have pierced through layers of buildings and landed in the Blazing Fire City Lord's Mansion.
After a moment, Ye Qifeng withdrew his gaze, lowered his head slightly, closed his eyes gently, and continued to ponder.
It wouldn't be a problem for the Spirit Hall to take over Blazing City.
With Shui Bing'er in Tianshui City, things will be easier. We can use the Immortal-grade Eight-Cornered Mystic Ice Grass to establish some contact with her first, and then slowly plan our next move. There should be an opportunity eventually.
Taking over Tianshui City isn't too difficult.
However, getting Shenfeng City to side with the Spirit Hall is a bit more complicated.
It seems that Feng Xiaotian has already gotten wind of the situation and knows about his relationship with Huo Wu.
He finally won the heart of the goddess he had been longing for.
I wonder if Feng Xiaotian will be furious when he finds out, or if he'll vomit blood from anger?
I heard that Feng Xiaotian visited Blazing Fire Academy many times in the past few months, hoping to meet Huo Wu.
Little did she know, Huo Wu's heart had long since been shaped by Ye Qifeng, and she had no interest in paying attention to him, never even once seeing him.
Feng Xiaotian came full of expectations time and time again, only to leave disappointed each time.
To this, Ye Qifeng could only apologize.
Fortunately, Feng Teng and his son Feng Xiaotian are unaware of his true identity, and Huo Hong probably won't say much about it.
Otherwise, if the father and son found out that he was the Holy Son of the Spirit Hall, they would likely cause more trouble and hinder the Spirit Hall's conquest of the three elemental cities.
But it doesn't matter anyway.
In any case, the Spirit Hall is determined to subdue the Soul Master forces represented by these three Elemental Cities.
If the soft approach doesn't work, then we'll have to resort to the hard one.
The Lord's Mansion of Blazing Fire City.
The closed-door meeting of the three major families of Fire, Water, and Wind has just ended.
Outside the main gate of the City Lord's Mansion council hall.
Huo Wu, dressed in a wine-red dress, was already standing there gracefully, waiting.
With her hands behind her back, her shapely, long legs swayed slightly as she moved back and forth with light, lotus-like steps. Her small feet, clad in little leather boots, kicked the air with a hint of boredom.
Suddenly, the iron doors of the council chamber swung open with a loud bang.
Three figures of varying heights emerged from it.
The person in the middle was the tallest, with a slender body, silver-gray hair, and a somewhat handsome appearance. He wore a set of light blue combat-ready clothes, with the words "Divine Wind" embroidered in silver thread on his chest.
Obvious.
This person is none other than Feng Xiaotian, the young master of Shenfeng City.
To Feng Xiaotian's left.
The person standing there was a petite girl.
The girl was just over 1.6 meters tall, making her the shortest of the three.
However, her figure is extremely well-proportioned, neither exaggeratedly plump nor appearing too thin.
She was about twelve years old. Her features were delicate, her face was as white as snow and as clear as jade. Her appearance was not particularly stunning, but she had a hazy and charming beauty. She was the type of person who became more and more beautiful the more you looked at her.
The girl had long, light blue hair and wore a light blue dress. The words "Tianshui" were embroidered in silver thread on her chest, symbolizing her identity and origin: she was from Tianshui City and Tianshui Academy.
That's right, this girl is Shui Bing'er from Tianshui City.
To Feng Xiaotian's right.
He was a boy of medium build, with broad shoulders, and only slightly shorter than Feng Xiaotian.
The boy had fiery yellow hair and a rather ordinary appearance, but his face was resolute. He wore a gold and red academy uniform specially made by Blazing Fire Academy, which was embroidered with flame and cloud patterns. The words "Blazing Fire" were embroidered in silver thread on his chest.
It was Huo Wushuang, Huo Wu's older brother.
Huo Wushuang, originally the young city lord of Blazing Fire City, should have been in the center as the host, but because of Shui Bing'er, he stood in the position furthest away from her.
Shui Bing'er's martial soul is the top-tier beast martial soul, the Ice Phoenix, which belongs to the ice attribute.
Huo Wushuang's martial soul is the high-level beast martial soul, the One-Horned Fire Typhoon, which belongs to the fire attribute.
The two people's martial souls have conflicting attributes, so standing together would feel very uncomfortable.
Moreover, Huo Wushuang's martial soul, the One-Horned Fire Typhoon, is one level lower in grade than Shui Bing'er's martial soul, the Ice Phoenix.
If you get close to Shui Bing'er, you'll feel a natural sense of being suppressed.
This feeling is equally unpleasant, no less so than the discomfort caused by opposing attributes.
Huo Wushuang had no desire to experience this double torment.
Therefore, he consciously distanced himself from Shui Bing'er and gave the middle position to Feng Xiaotian, the strongest of the three.
After the closed-door meeting ended.
The three family heads, Huo Hong, Feng Teng, and Shui Wuyue, had some other trivial matters to discuss.
Huo Wushuang, Feng Xiaotian, and Shui Bing'er then left first.
Seeing the three of them come out of the council hall, Huo Wu, who had been waiting impatiently, immediately lit up and quickly went to greet them.
At this moment, Feng Xiaotian also spotted Huo Wu.
The moment he saw Huo Wu, his pupils contracted sharply, and his breath caught in his throat.
The next instant, he was overjoyed, a smile of extreme delight spreading across his face. He immediately abandoned Huo Wushuang and Shui Bing'er, running towards Huo Wu while shouting:
"Fire Dance Sister!"
"oh."
Huo Wu glanced sideways at Feng Xiaotian, whose face was beaming with surprise and enthusiasm, and waved casually at him, giving him a light response.
He immediately ignored him, walked past him, and headed towards his goal.
Feng Xiaotian's smile froze instantly, and his body stiffened on the spot.
At this moment, there was another person whose body was frozen in place.
The moment Shui Bing'er saw Huo Wu appear, she immediately stopped in her tracks, her delicate body frozen in place. She had a vague sense of unease in her heart and suddenly realized that Huo Wu's target seemed to be her.
as predicted.
As if hearing her thoughts, Huo Wu abandoned Feng Xiaotian and walked straight towards her.
Looking at Huo Wu's tall figure, Shui Bing'er frowned slightly, suddenly feeling a headache and a sense of helplessness.
Unfortunately, her relationship with Huo Wu was really not good; every time they met, they inevitably ended up fighting.
Although it was nominally a friendly exchange, there was certainly a competitive element involved.
Her personality is different from Huo Wu's; in fact, it could be said to be completely opposite.
But one thing remains the same.
That is, they are all equally competitive, and equally dislike and unwilling to accept failure.
As the chosen ones of the younger generation in the five elemental cities, they are all girls of similar age.
In addition, there's the factor of incompatible martial soul attributes.
all the time.
They all regarded each other as their biggest rivals.
Fire Dance is like that.
And she was the same.
