Chapter 112.2 : Hidden Talent (Part 2)
Aside from Luo Huangjun, her feelings had come no later than anyone else's!
Now that she had taken the initiative and chosen to act decisively—to go all the way in one step—what was wrong with that?
She was gentle like water, just as her surname and given name suggested—soft and fluid as water itself.
She adapted to whatever vessel she encountered: square when meeting the square, round when meeting the round.
She never stubbornly resisted the shape of the outside world, but instead accepted it calmly and gracefully.
Gentle and tranquil, never ostentatious, never noisy.
With nothing more than a faint, serene presence, she nourished the people and things around her.
But even the calmest, smoothest stream has moments when it surges forward in torrents, stirring up violent waves.
Just like right now.
And every subtle change in Shui Qianrou's expression was clearly seen by Chu Ge.
He felt a trace of puzzlement in his heart.
In truth, he had never planned to leave so quickly.
With this rare opportunity to be alone with his martial aunt, Chu Ge also wanted to seize the moment—to deepen their bond and draw closer to her.
After all, between the two of them, it was only that thin layer of window paper left unpierced.
It could truly be said: the man had feelings, and the woman had—
Chu Ge glanced at the information displayed by the intelligence detection function.
Whether she had feelings or not was already abundantly clear.
Name: Shui Qianrou
Race: Human
Realm: Seventh Heaven · Divine Platform Realm (Lesser Divine Platform)
Talent: Mysterious Water Enchanting Yin Body, Pure Water Pill Heart
Hidden Talent: Renowned Vessel · Three Rivers Spring Water
Current Status: Normal
Current Emotions: Aroused, shy, uneasy
Affinity toward Host: 91
Special Intelligence: The target possesses a dual-cultivation physique and carries a renowned vessel, with marvelous applications! If the host engages in long-term joint cultivation with the target, both the target's and host's cultivation will rapidly advance. If the host infuses origin essence during joint cultivation, the target's talents will be enhanced, and the host will obtain Profound Yin Origin.
To be honest, Chu Ge was genuinely surprised upon seeing Shui Qianrou's information.
He hadn't expected this beautiful martial aunt's affection toward him to be no less than that of his somewhat naïve senior sister.
And that talent of hers…
A dual-cultivation physique—and that so-called renowned vessel…
If Chu Ge claimed he wasn't tempted, that would be a lie.
His heart stirred, and on the other side, Shui Qianrou had already made her preparations.
So what if it was an "old cow eating tender grass"?
That was what she told herself.
Perhaps back when Chu Ge had given her the very first Dao Manifestation Ring, another "first place" had already been fated in the unseen currents of destiny.
She shifted her gaze toward Chu Ge, who had remained silent all this while—only to find that he was now looking back at her as well, his eyes carrying a faint, burning heat.
At that moment, time seemed to freeze, and many things no longer needed to be spoken.
Shui Qianrou slowly leaned forward, her jade-like hands bracing against the tabletop.
Chu Ge inched closer step by step.
The distance between their gazes gradually shortened with their movements.
Until each of their faces completely filled the other's field of vision.
Their breathing grew faster, the warmth of their breaths intertwining and merging together.
You within me, and I within you.
As if heralding what was about to happen next, within this private chamber.
The atmosphere slowly began to rise—toward an ever more scorching heat.
