Chapter 676: Shang Hongxue: Dear sister, hurry up and admit your mistake

"Hongxue, have you really formed your golden core? You're not lying to me?"

Shang Hongchen's lips trembled, her eyes widened; she could hardly believe what she saw before her. The aura emanating from her sister could not be feigned—it was truly the aura of golden core formation, an aura possessed by those senior brothers and sisters of the Heavenly Heart Sect; she could not possibly be mistaken.

It wasn't a false aura, but how many years has my sister cultivated? At most two or three years. In that time, she went from an ordinary person who knew nothing straight into golden core formation, while I started cultivating at six or seven, and despite over a decade of practice, I still can't match the results of her two or three years.

With this comparison, isn't she truly a good-for-nothing?

Shang Hongxue lifted her head and said in a tsundere manner, "How could that be fake? Just after passing the heavenly tribulation, I'm announcing this good news to you, big sister."

"You're the first person besides Brother Chuyang to know I've formed my golden core—how about that? Aren't you surprised and delighted?"

Shang Hongxue deliberately turned around once, letting her sister get a good look at her transformation.

That golden core aura made Shang Hongchen's complexion look unpleasant.

The more she looked, the more Shang Hongchen felt frightened and uneasy, while Shang Hongxue's face was full of smiles; the more she saw her sister's expression, the happier she became.

"Big sister, you always used to say I was foolish for not following you to the Heavenly Heart Sect—now let's see who really is the most foolish."

"Isn't my brother Chuyang impressive? I managed to form my golden core thanks to him."

"You've cultivated for over ten years, yet you're not as good as me after just two or three years."

"I told you from the start not to go to the Heavenly Heart Sect—my brother Chuyang is the strongest and the best."

At this moment, Shang Hongxue raised her eyebrows and exhaled in satisfaction; if the last time she defeated her big sister had excited her for many days, this time she completely surpassed her, even crushed her—after succeeding in golden core formation, it proved she was right.

And her big sister was wrong—wrong to an outrageous degree.

Shang Hongxue also wanted to tell Shang Hongchen that her judgment was better than Shang Hongchen's; indeed, looking back, it was Shang Hongxue whose vision was superior.

The person you, Shang Hongchen, don't want is my treasure.

Shang Hongchen gritted her teeth, clenched her fists, and lowered her head.

She had many things she wanted to say, but couldn't get them out.

Because it was her mistake—she missed Xu Junbai, she missed…

This missed chance truly was a missed chance.

"You…"

Shang Hongchen gritted her teeth, staring at her own sister, her biological sister, yet they were not close.

Ever since Chen Chuyang's choice of direction proved problematic, she and this sister have had nothing good to talk about.

Every time, it leaves her embarrassed.

The facts prove that it is indeed her fault.

She really was wrong.

Wrong to an outrageous degree.

"Big sister, aren't you going to admit you were wrong?"

Shang Hongxue looked at her big sister before her with a grin, the smile on her lips needing no concealment.

Nor did she need to avoid her big sister; all her smiles were frozen in this moment.

Shang Hongchen fell silent.

Looking at her smug, tsundere little sister, she truly had nothing to say.

Her own sister had defeated her—not just in strength, but in vision, in every respect, surpassing her in all aspects.

But she did not want to admit fault, nor did she want to lower her head.

Once she lowered her head, she would be like that for the rest of her life.

"I…"

"Big sister, you're still the same—unchanged; if you're wrong, you must admit it."

"Brother Chuyang is so good, yet you called him an ordinary person, a muddle that can't be helped—now look, my brother Chuyang has become someone you can't even touch."

"A back view you could spend a lifetime looking up to and still never reach—big sister, you really were wrong."

Shang Hongxue spoke all at once, directly leaving Shang Hongchen completely silent.

Their conversation naturally fell into Chen Chuyang's ears.

He didn't want to listen, but everything happening on Longshe Shan was within his surveillance range; any little disturbance, any rustle of grass, he heard.

The black goat was the same; the resentful black goat gave Chen Chuyang a white-eye, wanting to harshly complain about this master.

Upon hearing those words, it instantly lost interest in attending to its master, pricked up its ears, and began to gossip.

Chen Qinger glanced at the person and the goat, then shook her head.

She continued practicing her sword; after the heavenly tribulation passed, she would no longer be disturbed.

Shang Hongxue returned after successfully forming her golden core, and this success stimulated her; Chen Qinger swore in her heart that she would train hard, break through soon, and advance to golden core formation.

"I can't fall too far behind; even if she's my sister-in-law, I won't… be afraid."

"Chen Qinger, you're a genius—how could you fall behind?"

A stimulated woman began a frenzy of cultivation.

Shang Yue walked up beside Chen Chuyang and asked, "Brother-in-law, where is the second sister?"

"Down there."

Shang Yue took a look—sure enough, she was inside the formation.

In an instant, Shang Yue thought of something and couldn't help but wryly smile repeatedly.

"Will they end up fighting?"

Shang Yue was a bit worried; if the big sister and the second sister were to fight, this time it would truly be the second sister crushing the big sister.

A golden core cultivator versus those below golden core—absolute advantage.

One hundred percent crushing.

"It won't happen, don't worry." Chen Chuyang waved his hand: "Your second sister has succeeded in golden core formation, while your big sister is still in the True Gang realm; as long as she isn't suicidal, she won't fight your second sister."

Isn't this obviously asking for trouble?

Shang Hongxue went to find Shang Hongchen just to provoke her into acting.

She ruthlessly suppresses this elder sister, causing her to break down mentally and physically, thereby achieving her goal.

As Shang Hongxue's man, how could he not understand her mind?

「Eh? 」

Shang Yue was startled for a moment, thought it over, and indeed it was so.

The second sister successfully formed her core; the elder sister isn't that stupid, she still has brains.

Heishanyang couldn't care less what they were chatting about; its mind was on the two Shang sisters inside the formation.

Shang Hongchen looked at her younger sister before her, closed her eyes, and let out a sigh.

「I was wrong. 」

「I lost. 」

「Alright, my dear sister. 」

Shang Hongchen opened her eyes, calmly spoke those few words, her gaze fixed on Shang Hongxue.

Shang Hongxue laughed, bursting into loud laughter.

「Hahaha. 」

With hands on hips, head thrown back in loud laughter, that smile echoed inside and outside the formation.

All over Longshe Shan, her laughter could be heard.

Little Qian'er heard the laughter, instinctively looked into the formation, and smiled, saying, 'Elder Sister Hongxue, what good thing happened to make you laugh so happily?'

Liu Yuer shook her head; battles between sisters have always been like this.

Little Fox Moon and the two others returned to their rooms, not daring to stand out, for they did not want to be targeted nor suffer undeserved disaster.

Chen Chuyang laughed; Shang Hongxue this girl is truly formidable, no wonder she's his wife.

To seek justice for himself, this move was utterly perfect.

Heishanyang glanced at Chen Chuyang; this master couldn't keep the corners of his mouth down.

「Kid, now you're happy, huh. 」

「No, no, it's just like that. 」 Chen Chuyang waved his hand, the corners of his mouth turning up, unable to suppress it any longer.

Shang Yue looked at the two of them in astonishment, completely clueless about what they were talking about.
