Chapter 666: Shang Yue: Brother-in-law, why not take my big sister as well?

"Big sister, I concede." Shang Yue excitedly clasped his hands, smiling with eyes narrowed at Shang Hongchen.

From then on, the head of the Shang Clan changed; it was no longer Shang Hongchen, but him, Shang Yue.

The era of big sister's rule over them has ended; from now on, it will no longer exist—how could one not be happy?

Second sister escaped hardship, and he finally escaped hardship too; this time, he no longer needs to be controlled by big sister, will no longer be bound by her, can do whatever he wants, completely free.

At this very moment, even the air he breathes feels fresh.

"So refreshing."

Shang Yue shouted loudly, voicing his innermost feelings; there has never been a moment comparable to this one—it's truly wonderful.

Chen Chuyang and Shang Hongxue exchanged a glance, really wanting to laugh; they forced themselves to hold back, not letting their smiles show too obviously, lest they provoke Shang Hongchen's wrath, mainly because Shang Yue's grin was overly arrogant, easily offending people.

Shang Hongchen's face darkened; he lowered his visage, right hand gripping his sword, ready to strike at any moment.

A chill drifted about; Chen Chuyang glanced at Shang Hongchen, coughed once, and reminded Shang Yue.

Shang Yue was immersed in his own world, unable to hear Chen Chuyang's reminder—or rather, at times like this, he needn't worry about big sister, nor care whether she's happy; his own happiness matters most, others are none of his business.

"Hahaha, I, Shang Yue, have finally defeated big sister; from now on, in the Shang Clan, I call the shots."

"Big sister, you can no longer control me."

"I, Shang Yue, am free."

Having regained his freedom, he no longer needs to worry about being restrained; from now on, he will only grow stronger and more formidable, and big sister will never be able to catch up to him.

Shang Yue is very confident; anyone he surpasses can never overtake him again, at any time.

"Big sister, from now on, you are no longer my rival."

Full of confidence, Shang Yue won't worry about being overtaken, nor need to worry about this big sister.

Shang Hongchen's mouth twitched, his face growing even darker.

Glaring fiercely at Shang Yue before him, he gritted his teeth and snarled, "Shang Yue, you're courting death."

"Big sister, you can't even break my defense, so don't make a fool of yourself—I, your little brother, don't want to beat you down."

Shang Yue gave him no face, mocking him to his face.

Killing the person, destroying the heart.

This is truly what's in his heart, thoroughly wounding Shang Hongchen.

Shang Hongchen: "……"

That remark is the truth; often the truth is a swift blade, cutting deepest into the heart.

"You……"

Shang Hongchen trembled with rage, his whole body shaking; he didn't want to fight his brother to the death, nor hurt sibling affection—who would have thought this brother actually believed he had conceded, admitted defeat, and mocked him to his face?

"How absurd, Shang Yue—let's continue; this old lady doesn't believe she can't kill you."

"As an elder sister's dignity, how could it be provoked again and again?"

"She is, after all, the big sister; when provoked by Shang Hongxue and bested, she simply lets it go."

"After all, she and Shang Hongxue have never been easy to deal with, constantly fighting each other—that's normal."

"But this brother—she has doted on him since childhood, pouring much effort into him, yet he dares to mock her so."

"Feeling hurt, for the sake of her elder sister's dignity, Shang Hongchen resolved to knock this brother down, to let him know that an elder sister's majesty must not be violated."

Shang Yue lifted his head, smirking contemptuously: "Big sister, you—don't waste your effort; I, your little brother, haven't even used my full strength and you're already down."

"It's not that I, as a brother-in-law, look down on you; it's that the Heavenly Heart Sect is truly useless, unable to bring out your strengths. In my view, you should stay at Longshe Shan and let your brother-in-law help you cultivate properly—perhaps you could undergo a complete transformation."

"Brother-in-law, you agree, right?"

"Truly worthy of being Shang Yue, a genuine brother-in-law, he saw through Chen Chuyang's thoughts at a glance."

"Remarkable—this Shang Yue is adept at reading people's expressions."

"Cough cough cough." Chen Chuyang hastily waved his hands: "There's no such thing, absolutely not."

"Brother-in-law, stop pretending; I don't believe you don't want to take revenge on my big sister. Back then, she treated you that way—I support you in ruthlessly repaying her; best to have her do everything, best of all, to make her collapse from exhaustion every day."

"Truly my brother-in-law, these words are quite problematic."

"Those who don't know might think Chen Chuyang intends to do something to Shang Hongchen."

"The ambiguity is great."

"Cough cough, Shang Yue, some things shouldn't be spoken carelessly—I am your brother-in-law, not your big sister's husband."

Upon hearing that, Shang Yue waved his hand: "Actually, it's all the same—whether brother-in-law or big sister's husband—I think you're quite good; how about this, you give me my big sister as well?"

Before he could finish speaking, Shang Hongchen's sword was already before his eyes, pointed at Shang Yue.

Shang Hongxue narrowed her eyes, a chill burst forth, locking onto Shang Yue.

Shang Yue realized he had misspoken, hastily correcting: "Cough cough, Second Sister, I didn't mean that; I mean, let the brother-in-law help big sister improve her cultivation and strength—I have no other intention."

The thought surfaced in his mind—he truly regretted it.

In private, one could say such things to the brother-in-law, but absolutely not in front of big sister and second sister—saying them would be fatal.

"Big sister, I was wrong—I didn't mean that; could you please put away your sword?"

That sword, pointed at him, Shang Yue choked back a few breaths, daring not to speak further.

Some things must not be spoken carelessly.

Although that's what he thought in his heart, but you… cannot… say it out.

Shang Yue kept giving Chen Chuyang looks, asking him to help defuse the situation.

Chen Chuyang hastily spoke up: "Cough cough cough, Shang Yue didn't mean that; you've misunderstood, right, Shang Yue?"

"Yes, yes, yes." Shang Yue hurriedly nodded, explaining: "After big sister joined the Heavenly Heart Sect, it's no different from being useless—it shows the sect doesn't cherish her, nor knows how to utilize her talent; such a sect, it's fine not to go."

"Big sister, you'd be better off staying at Longshe Shan; it's quite good there, brother-in-law won't mistreat you, and with you present, your master could also receive good treatment."

"You wouldn't want your master to be mistreated, would you?"

One had to admit, as soon as Shang Yue spoke, Shang Hongchen sheathed his sword.

Those eyes locked onto Shang Yue; if he dared to speak nonsense again, Shang Hongchen wouldn't mind sending him on his way.

Hmph.

A cold snort, venting inner dissatisfaction.

That makes sense; previously, Shang Hongchen would have scoffed at Shang Yue's words.

After the battle, she acknowledged Shang Yue's words.

Chen Chuyang is truly extraordinary; his younger siblings, under his guidance, gradually became geniuses.

They are not ordinary geniuses, but super-geniuses; even in the Heavenly Heart Sect, they are top-tier geniuses.

Especially his younger sister Shang Hongxue, her cultivation and true qi left her astonished.

Although she hasn't yet formed a golden core, she's close.

At this rate of progress, she wouldn't believe that her sister had no fortuitous encounters.

"I can't stay on Longshe Shan; I must return to report."

Longshe Shan, she could not possibly stay there.

Her relationship with Chen Chuyang would be awkward.

No matter how bad the Heavenly Heart Sect is, she still has to go back.
