Chapter 5995: Sisters For Life, No Jealousy Allowed
Huahua’s words stabbed into Xia Xingchen’s words like a barbed sword, and Xia Xingchen stiffened up.
Huahua noticed Xia Xingchen’s expression and asked, “What’s wrong, big sister Xingchen? What’s with your expression?”
“Huahua, I thought you didn’t like men? Weren’t you suffering from the Innate Enmity Toward Men Disease? You said that there are no decent men other than Daoist Starseizer,” Xia Xingchen asked.
“I 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,” Huahua said with a smile as she shot Xia Xingchen a thumbs up.
“But he’s Jie Ranqing’s son, which makes him our junior! Don’t you find it inappropriate to go for someone much younger?” Xia Xingchen questioned.
“Big sister Xingchen, didn’t you say that since you couldn’t find anyone suitable among our peers, you intend to search... Ah, you didn’t finish, but I’m guessing that you were going to say that you would search for someone younger, right? If what I’m doing is inappropriate, the same applies to you too,” Huahua said with a mischievous grin.
“H-how did you know I was going to say that?”
“I don’t just know that. I also know that there’s someone you like, and that person is Chu Feng.”
Xia Xingchen’s face turned completely red.
“See, your face has turned red. Do you dare say I’m not right?” Huahua leaned in and asked.
Xia Xingchen hesitated, but she eventually gave in. “You lass, how did you know?”
“Is it hard to tell? I think it’s pretty obvious. I have never seen you getting so chummy with other men before,” Huahua said.
Upon hearing those words, Xia Xingchen flashed a beaming smile and hugged Huahua, saying, “Haha! Does that mean that you were trying to scare me earlier? You lass, when did you get so naughty?”
But Huahua shook her head. “I meant it when I said I like Chu Feng.”
“Ah?” Xia Xingchen shoved Huahua aside in shock. “You... W-w-why would you fall in love with Chu Feng?”
“Because he saved me. My life belongs to him, so it’s only right for me to offer myself to him.”
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.
“Are we sisters destined to become love rivals?” Xia Xingchen sighed.
“Why can’t we continue being sisters? There’s no need for us to be love rivals. You can be the big wife; I’m content with being the small wife,” Huahua replied with a smile.
Xia Xingchen, who was feeling wistful, chuckled upon hearing those words. “Will that work?”
“Why not? I doubt we’ll get jealous of each other given our relationship,” Huahua replied.
“I definitely won’t get jealous of you, but I don’t know about you,” Xia Xingchen voiced her uncertainty.
“I won’t either. We’ll forever be good sisters.”
“Let’s make a promise then. We’ll be good sisters for life. We shall not do something as dumb as turning against each other over a man.”
“It’s a deal, though it’s odd that we’re speaking as if we are already married to Chu Feng. What if Chu Feng isn’t interested in the two of us?”
“That is very possible. Hahaha.”
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 wouldn’t 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 Sect’s 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 wouldn’t 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 didn’t 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.
“This outer barrier has been here all along, and it’s a tough nut to crack. The Heavenly Dome Immortal Sect’s 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.
“The Heavenly Dome Immortal Sect has constructed even more formations inside, so make sure to tread carefully,” Xia Xingchen said.
“This barrier is a formation from the Ancient Era, and it won’t 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,” Huahua said.
She turned to Xia Xingchen and asked, “Big sister Xingchen, are you sure that the Ancient Era’s race living below is truly weak?”
She couldn’t believe that a race capable of constructing such a formation was weak.
“They are weak, or else they wouldn’t have fallen under the Heavenly Dome Immortal Sect’s control,” Xia Xingchen replied.
“How did they enter this place then?” Huahua felt that something was amiss.
“We once asked them about that. They said that they weren’t 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 don’t have a strong foundation. Judging from that, it’s unlikely that they were a major clan,” Xia Xingchen said.
Having her suspicions dispelled, Huahua turned to Chu Feng and asked, “How is it? Can you decipher it?”
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.
“Elder, you can try this,” Chu Feng said as he drew a formation blueprint.
Huahua constructed a formation based on the blueprint, and it didn’t take long for her to decipher the barrier. The barrier didn’t unravel, but a spirit formation gate manifested.
Overjoyed, Huahua turned around and leaped into Chu Feng’s arms, tightly hugging him and even kissing him on the cheek. Then, she said with a grin, “Chu Feng, you’re incredible. You’re as reliable as ever.”
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? It’s one thing for you to put your hands all over him, but why did you use your lips too?
