Chapter 677: Sister, from now on please call me Lady

Older sister, you don't need to be sad; you'll also have a chance to condense a golden core later.

With your talent, I believe you can soon reach my level; however, by then I might have already pulled ahead of you.

According to my talent, surpassing you is just a trivial matter.

Anyone I surpass can never catch up to me.

Older sister, I give you four words: unable to keep up with my dust.

Shang Hongxue crossed her arms, declaring tsunderely.

She is a genius; once someone is surpassed by her, they can never catch up, even if it's her own older sister, with no exceptions, and she won't stop to wait for them to catch up.

Shang Hongxue has this confidence; she possesses a Cultivation body, a special constitution, and before awakening she was just like an ordinary person.

Nowadays she is no longer who she once was; she aims to catch up to Older Brother Chuyang and will not stop to wait for her older sister.

Shang Hongchen: '???'

Full of question marks, she stares at her younger sister before her; it's heart‑wrenching.

One must not only overcome oneself physically, but also mentally.

A double blow—does this younger sister even let me live?

Younger sister, you're only one step ahead of me; I believe I'll catch up soon, and I can also condense a golden core.

Shang Hongchen spoke full of confidence, having this confidence; it's just condensing a golden core—give her a little time and she guarantees she can catch up to her younger sister, even surpass her.

Shang Hongxue, hearing this, scoffed: 'Dear sister, you're overthinking; don't daydream.'

It's not the younger sister striking you; you truly can't catch up to me, and in this lifetime you're unlikely to be my rival.

I'm chasing after Older Brother Chuyang; you, in this lifetime, will never catch up to me.

Crossing her arms, she proclaimed her strength and confidence.

This is her home turf, with Older Brother Chuyang beside her helping her cultivate; what does the older sister have?

Heavenly Heart Sect?

Hehe, the Heavenly Heart Sect has countless talents inside; what does the older sister amount to there?

Numerous talents are like carp crossing the river—adding Shang Hongchen makes no difference, removing her makes no difference.

And I am Older Brother Chuyang's most thoughtful woman, also his wife, helping him manage Longshe Shan, wholeheartedly following him; Older Brother Chuyang will surely not disappoint me.

In this comparison, Shang Hongchen has nothing that can match me.

Techniques, elixirs, or anything else—none compare to me.

The gap between us will only grow larger.

"If you don't try, how will you know it's impossible?"

Shang Hongchen still holds to her idea, firmly believing she can catch up to her younger sister.

Shang Hongxue heard this, puffed out a laugh, and mocked: 'I have Older Brother Chuyang, elixirs, techniques, Spiritual Artifacts, or any other resources—I lack nothing, I can have as much as I want; what do you have?'

"Do you have elixirs?"

"Techniques, Spiritual Artifacts—do you have them?"

Shang Hongchen gritted her teeth: 'I…'

Shang Hongxue sneered: 'What do you mean "I"? Am I wrong? You have nothing; the Heavenly Heart Sect wouldn't give you anything, so what right do you have to ask them to give you most of the resources?'

"Look into my eyes and tell me, dear sister, what do you have that's worth the Heavenly Heart Sect investing in you?"

Talent?

Or unparalleled comprehension?

Or perhaps, dear sister, you have a sect leader father?

Sorry, you have nothing; upon entering the Heavenly Heart Sect you're just a grassroots nobody, a mud‑leg, worth nothing.

Whatever hard work cultivating can get you everything—just a bunch of nonsense.

Cultivators need resources, which include many, many things, while older sister she has nothing.

That's all there is to it.

"I…" Shang Hongchen fell silent.

She directly shut herself off.

It's too realistic.

If it were before, she would surely not believe it and would refute her younger sister.

Now she is silent, unable to refute, because what her younger sister says is all true.

She can't refute, nor can she… answer her younger sister.

Shang Hongchen is no longer that naive self of before.

"Shang Hongchen, staying at Longshe Shan would be great; as long as you're willing to lower your head and admit your mistake, Older Brother Chuyang won't blame you."

"Afterward, I'll have Older Brother Chuyang give you some resources to help you cultivate; isn't that better than returning to the Heavenly Heart Sect?"

"What can the Heavenly Heart Sect give you? Nothing at all—why would you want to go back?"

Heavenly Heart Sect—like a mud Buddha crossing the river, it can barely protect itself.

Older sister going back—isn't that just going back to seek death?

Shang Hongchen looked deeply at her younger sister and said: 'If I stay at Longshe Shan, I'll only bring disaster to you; the Heavenly Heart Sect is not easy to get along with—once they set their sights on you, Longshe Shan will have no peaceful days.'

"I don't want to ruin your life."

So she must leave.

Even if she suffers hardship, she fears nothing.

"Hehehe." Shang Hongxue puffed out a laugh, turned around, and pointed at Tianlian Zhenren.

"Tianlian Zhenren has been at Longshe Shan for so long—have you ever seen anything happen there?"

Do you think you can match your master? Or do you think my Longshe Shan is trash, to be pushed around by the Heavenly Heart Sect?

Big sister, you're wrong.

My Longshe Shan fears no power; the Heavenly Heart Sect is no exception—if they dare come, we dare kill them.

Shang Hongxue was full of confidence toward Brother Chuyang, infinitely confident.

Such confidence surpassed everything.

Shang Hongchen looked at her unfamiliar sister, who forever brimmed with confidence toward Chen Chuyang.

What charm does Chen Chuyang possess that makes his sister trust him so…?

The Heavenly Heart Sect isn't as simple as you think, Hongxue.

"I know." Shang Hongxue said disdainfully: "They really aren't simple, but it's useless; the Heavenly Heart Sect's sect master, Tian Xin Dao Ren, came to Longshe Shan, and yet he still slunk away in disgrace."

Around my Longshe Shan, no one from the Heavenly Heart Sect is permitted to approach—not a single one.

Those who rashly approach will be killed without mercy.

Killing intent condensed.

Her words represented Chen Chuyang, and also represented Longshe Shan.

Shang Hongchen fell silent.

It's not that the Heavenly Heart Sect doesn't want to act against Longshe Shan; it's that they cannot, they dare not.

Chen Chuyang's strength is so great that even the sect master was forced to retreat, and his master is being detained here, unable to leave.

She didn't know this news.

Otherwise, the Heavenly Heart Sect would surely have blown their lair.

So, my foolish sister, don't be obstinate; if you want to leave the formation, you must bow your head.

Set aside your worries; with Brother Chuyang here, you face no danger.

From now on, I can protect you.

Clenching her fists, Shang Hongxue gave a grim smile: 'Besides Brother Chuyang, I am the greatest in Longshe Shan.'

Please call me the leader of Longshe Shan.

From now on, when you see me, you must address me as 'Madam'.

Shang Hongchen suddenly lifted her head, staring at Shang Hongxue, blinking, blinking—nothing but blinking.

Her eyes were full of question marks, utterly bewildered.
