Chapter 110.2 : Strange Smell (Part 2)
The only aspect that could be considered an advantage was their status as twin sisters with nearly identical appearances.
Thus, when they saw Chu Ge arrive at Shuiyue Peak today—and with their master, Shui Qianrou, coincidentally absent—both of them realized that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. That was why they dared to act so boldly.
After all, Chu Ge already had plans to leave in the near future, and with their current cultivation levels, it was highly likely that the two of them would be unable to accompany him.
By the time Chu Ge returned again, he might very well have grown to a height utterly beyond their reach.
Don't be fooled by the fact that they had now broken through to the Aperture-Opening Realm as well, seemingly placing them at the same realm as Chu Ge.
As owners of diary replicas, the two of them understood all too clearly just how terrifying Chu Ge's growth rate was.
It was entirely possible that, without noticing, Chu Ge would one day leave them completely behind.
If that happened, the two sides would belong to entirely different worlds, and trying to take the initiative then would be far too late.
Not to mention the unknown number of diary replica holders still hidden in the shadows, yet to reveal themselves.
Taking the initiative was something that could only benefit from being done earlier rather than later.
After all, even Su Lingyuan—whom they had always regarded as rather slow on the uptake—had already taken the initiative once. How could they continue to merely watch from the sidelines without taking action themselves?
Just at this moment, a gentle and refined voice reached the ears of all three.
"Fuyao? Tingni?! What are you doing?"
The owner of the voice was someone all three of them knew extremely well.
Chu Ge himself didn't mind much, but the Lu sisters were riddled with guilt. They immediately lowered their heads and hastily disentangled themselves from Chu Ge's embrace.
Shui Qianrou's beautiful brows knit slightly.
With just a single glance, she was already able to guess that something intimate had likely just occurred between the three of them.
And when her eyes swept over the Dao-Manifestation Rings on the sisters' fingers, she became even more certain of her conjecture.
No anger arose in her heart.
After all, she had possessed a diary replica and been part of the group chat for quite some time now.
That group chat name—hanging there plainly every time she opened it—made it easy for her to foresee what Chu Ge's future situation would look like.
She had actually prepared herself for this long ago.
Thus, upon seeing today's scene, there wasn't much emotional fluctuation within her heart.
That said, appearances still had to be maintained.
She pretended to be angry, glaring at the two disciples who had taken advantage of her absence to "steal the tower."
Then her gaze fell upon Chu Ge, and the look in her eyes instantly turned resentful.
It was enough to make even Chu Ge feel a sudden chill in his heart, as though he had truly done something to wrong the mature beauty before him.
"Martial Aunt."
But Chu Ge was no ordinary person. Naturally, he wouldn't easily reveal his inner thoughts. He smiled and called out to her lightly.
Seeing that familiar smile of Chu Ge's—one that still possessed immense killing power against her—whatever faint resentment Shui Qianrou had just felt completely dissipated.
'What a troublesome man…'
With lotus steps light and graceful, the mature woman swayed her alluring waist as she walked toward Chu Ge.
However, halfway there, she wrinkled her delicate nose and spoke in puzzlement,
"What's that smell? It's rather strange…"
