Girls in a Matriarchal World Are Just Too Scary-Chapter 42 - Junior Sister’s Trial
“Congrats, Junior Sister.”
Hearing of Lin Qingyue’s breakthrough, Su Yan rushed over first thing.
“All thanks to you, Senior Brother.”
She meant it…humble, but true. No him, no her.
He grinned. “Since you’ve broken through, let’s see Master together.”
Master had said she’d train her once she hit this mark…..The time has come.
She nodded. They headed to Bai Shuixin’s place.
“Master.”
They bowed in sync.
Bai Shuixin said, “Didn’t expect you to break through so fast, I underestimated you. But before I guide you, stabilize your realm. Have you heard of the sect’s minor competition?”
Lin Qingyue went quiet—she was still new and didn’t know much about the cultivation world.
Su Yan helped explain. “It’s a contest for new disciples. The next one’s coming soon. You want her to take part?”
“Yes,” Bai Shuixin said. “Building a strong foundation is key. The competition is in a few days. Let her join and gain experience.”
“Yes, Master,” Su Yan replied.
Lin Qingyue bowed in respect.
…
Three days later, Su Yan woke up early. Since Junior Sister would compete, he made a big breakfast to help her stay strong.
“Senior Brother, it’s too much—I can’t eat all this.”
She held a bun in one hand and a chicken leg in the other. Her belly was full and face looked helpless.
He didn’t like wasting food, but she was clearly stuffed. How could she fight like this?
“Oops, I made too much. Stop eating if you’re full.”
He gave the rest to the fox spirit.
After wiping her mouth, she smiled. “I’m ready. Let’s go!”
The three of them left Tian Shui Peak. The sect was busy—many disciples were returning for the competition, all hoping to climb the rankings. The winner would get a special prize.
“A high-grade artifact? I wish I could get it.”
Her current sword was just mid-grade. A better one would really help.
Su Yan teased, “You ignored my spiritual weapon and now want that?”
“It’s different,” she said.
She didn’t want to rely on him. She wanted to win something by herself. She believed girls shouldn’t always depend on others—she’d rather spoil him instead.
“Alright, alright,” he said, knowing she was stubborn.
He looked around.
“Black silk, white silk, old robes with stockings—looks weird.”
He muttered, staring at the girls’ shiny legs.
Even the fox spirit looked around. So many people! So many pretty boys! But none compared to its food-giver. It snuggled close to Su Yan.
“Stop it,” he said, gently tapping its head as they walked toward the arena.

“Senior Brother, there are so many strong disciples… can I really win?” Lin Qingyue asked nervously.
This event was just for beginners, but standing out could get you noticed by important elders. Everyone would give it their all.
“No confidence?”
“I do… just nervous.”
“Then it’s fine. I believe in you.”
He gave her a warm smile.
She didn’t answer, but her heart was full. His trust alone gave her strength—she would win for him.
…
Walking across the stone courtyard, Su Yan looked calm and confident, smiling like spring sunshine.
When others saw him, they froze. Then whispers spread quickly.
“Who’s that handsome guy?”
“You don’t know Senior Brother Su? You’ve been living under a rock!”
“Senior Brother Su? The one born with a saint body? Marry him and skip years of hard work!”
“No one else looks that good!”
Girls stared, some even drooled.
“I thought the rumors were fake, but he really is that perfect. Is he single? If only I could become his cultivation partner…”
One girl even squeezed her thighs together.
“Keep dreaming!” someone snapped.
Another scoffed. “Wake up—no weeding the herb garden for you.”
Before she finished, a mob piled on.
Under fire, the dreamer’s bravado shrank, but she huffed, “W-why not? I’ve got an Earth Spirit Root—top-tier among disciples. Master says I’ve got a future. Perfect match for him!”
“You? Please.”
A girl in pink clothes laughed a little. She thought the other girl didn’t understand how things worked yet.
Having an Earth Spirit Root was pretty good—great for normal people. But for someone like Senior Brother Su, who was born with a saint body and wanted by every female cultivator? Not enough.
“If the older women didn’t feel weird chasing a younger guy, they’d have already tried to get him,” she said. “Now it’s our chance.”
One girl argued, “Exactly! He’s young, we’re young. Why can’t we try? Just because I’m poor doesn’t mean I don’t deserve love!”
The girl in pink shook her head. “You’re too hopeful. Even if older ladies step aside, getting close to Senior Brother Su won’t be easy.”
“Huh? Why not?” the others asked.
“Because he’s already close with Senior Sister Xiao—the sect leader’s daughter.”
That shut them up.
“She’s not just from a powerful family—she’s strong. She’s under thirty and has already reached the Golden Core. Now she’s aiming for Nascent Soul. Can any of you match that?”
Everyone’s eyes went wide. Golden Core? Almost Nascent Soul? That’s crazy!
Reaching Golden Core before thirty was rare. People at that level were very powerful. They could destroy hills with full strength. Nascent Soul? That meant being able to move mountains and change rivers. Everyone respected people that strong.
