Chapter 5995: Sisters For Life, No Jealousy Allowed
Huahuaâs words stabbed into Xia Xingchenâs words like a barbed sword, and Xia Xingchen stiffened up.
Huahua noticed Xia Xingchenâs expression and asked, âWhatâs wrong, big sister Xingchen? Whatâs with your expression?â
âHuahua, I thought you didnât like men? Werenât you suffering from the Innate Enmity Toward Men Disease? You said that there are no decent men other than Daoist Starseizer,â Xia Xingchen asked.
âI did feel that way in the past, but meeting Chu Feng made me realize how narrow-minded I was. Big sister Xingchen is right. Chu Feng is different,â Huahua said with a smile as she shot Xia Xingchen a thumbs up.
âBut heâs Jie Ranqingâs son, which makes him our junior! Donât you find it inappropriate to go for someone much younger?â Xia Xingchen questioned.
âBig sister Xingchen, didnât you say that since you couldnât find anyone suitable among our peers, you intend to search... Ah, you didnât finish, but Iâm guessing that you were going to say that you would search for someone younger, right? If what Iâm doing is inappropriate, the same applies to you too,â Huahua said with a mischievous grin.
âH-how did you know I was going to say that?â
âI donât just know that. I also know that thereâs someone you like, and that person is Chu Feng.â
Xia Xingchenâs face turned completely red.
âSee, your face has turned red. Do you dare say Iâm not right?â Huahua leaned in and asked.
Xia Xingchen hesitated, but she eventually gave in. âYou lass, how did you know?â
âIs it hard to tell? I think itâs pretty obvious. I have never seen you getting so chummy with other men before,â Huahua said.
Upon hearing those words, Xia Xingchen flashed a beaming smile and hugged Huahua, saying, âHaha! Does that mean that you were trying to scare me earlier? You lass, when did you get so naughty?â
But Huahua shook her head. âI meant it when I said I like Chu Feng.â
âAh?â Xia Xingchen shoved Huahua aside in shock. âYou... W-w-why would you fall in love with Chu Feng?â
âBecause he saved me. My life belongs to him, so itâs only right for me to offer myself to him.â
Those words rendered Xia Xingchen speechless. She had fallen in love with Chu Feng for the same reason, so she could see where Huahua was coming from.
âAre we sisters destined to become love rivals?â Xia Xingchen sighed.
âWhy canât we continue being sisters? Thereâs no need for us to be love rivals. You can be the big wife; Iâm content with being the small wife,â Huahua replied with a smile.
Xia Xingchen, who was feeling wistful, chuckled upon hearing those words. âWill that work?â
âWhy not? I doubt weâll get jealous of each other given our relationship,â Huahua replied.
âI definitely wonât get jealous of you, but I donât know about you,â Xia Xingchen voiced her uncertainty.
âI wonât either. Weâll forever be good sisters.â
âLetâs make a promise then. Weâll be good sisters for life. We shall not do something as dumb as turning against each other over a man.â
âItâs a deal, though itâs odd that weâre speaking as if we are already married to Chu Feng. What if Chu Feng isnât interested in the two of us?â
âThat is very possible. Hahaha.â
Xia Xingchen laughed, and Huahua followed suit, though their laughter was mixed with a tinge of frustration.
They were usually confident in themselves. Countless men lusted over them, but they wouldnât even give them the time of the day.
Putting aside Huahua, who usually concealed her face, Xia Xingchen, who roamed the world of cultivation with her real face, was famous as a ravishing prodigy, many in the Heavenly Dome Immortal Sect were infatuated with her, let alone those outside. Even someone as powerful as the Heavenly Dome Immortal Sectâs sectmaster wanted to take her as his bride.
Yet, she rejected all of them.
She had always been confident when dealing with men, but for some reason, her confidence eroded before Chu Feng. She was even worried that Chu Feng wouldnât like her.
...
The two sisters returned to Chu Feng after concluding their private conversation.
The three of them immediately made their move.
They were in a Lower Realm, so the landmass was much smaller. It didnât take them long to arrive at the bottom of the ocean, outside where the cultivation resources were located.
There, they stumbled upon a barrier that blocked their path.
âThis outer barrier has been here all along, and itâs a tough nut to crack. The Heavenly Dome Immortal Sectâs sectmaster underwent a great deal of trouble before deciphering it. The area beyond the barrier is an underground world that spans the same area as the surface world, but the only way to enter it is through this entrance.
âThe Heavenly Dome Immortal Sect has constructed even more formations inside, so make sure to tread carefully,â Xia Xingchen said.
âThis barrier is a formation from the Ancient Era, and it wonât be easy to breach it. The formation is tattered from depletion, but I am still unable to breach it with my means. I can hardly imagine how formidable it must have been when fully intact,â Huahua said.
She turned to Xia Xingchen and asked, âBig sister Xingchen, are you sure that the Ancient Eraâs race living below is truly weak?â
She couldnât believe that a race capable of constructing such a formation was weak.
âThey are weak, or else they wouldnât have fallen under the Heavenly Dome Immortal Sectâs control,â Xia Xingchen replied.
âHow did they enter this place then?â Huahua felt that something was amiss.
âWe once asked them about that. They said that they werenât the ones who constructed this place, and their ancestors had entered this place back in the Ancient Era with the help of a treasure. The Heavenly Dome Immortal Sect conducted a thorough investigation and found that they donât have a strong foundation. Judging from that, itâs unlikely that they were a major clan,â Xia Xingchen said.
Having her suspicions dispelled, Huahua turned to Chu Feng and asked, âHow is it? Can you decipher it?â
She was responsible for the brawn here; Chu Feng was the wits.
Chu Feng had been examining the formation since they arrived here.
While Initiate Tome had the means to deal with different types of formations, he needed to modify it accordingly to fit the criteria to ensure its effectiveness. Thus, he had to first closely examine the formation he intended to breach.
âElder, you can try this,â Chu Feng said as he drew a formation blueprint.
Huahua constructed a formation based on the blueprint, and it didnât take long for her to decipher the barrier. The barrier didnât unravel, but a spirit formation gate manifested.
Overjoyed, Huahua turned around and leaped into Chu Fengâs arms, tightly hugging him and even kissing him on the cheek. Then, she said with a grin, âChu Feng, youâre incredible. Youâre as reliable as ever.â
Xia Xingchen was dumbstruck. Jealousy bubbled in her heart.
She rationally told herself that there was no point getting jealous, but it was not that easy to control her emotions. She even berated Huahua in her heart.
Huahua, how can you be so shameless? Itâs one thing for you to put your hands all over him, but why did you use your lips too?
