“Su~ Qian~Qian~, I’m here to see you~”
Chu Youtong was still dragging out her voice, calling out at the gates of the sect, when suddenly, she spotted Lin Muxue with a gloomy expression, standing alongside the two sisters.
She completely ignored Lin Muxue, whose gaze suggested she might just hack her to pieces, and instead, with a teasing smile, looked at the sisters, her eyes finally settling on Su Qianqian.
Satisfied, she nodded, then stuck out her tongue and licked her lips. Su Lingling looked even more delicious than she’d imagined…
Seeing Chu Youtong’s expression, Su Qianqian couldn’t help but take several steps back.
Amidst the muttering of the onlookers, Chu Youtong suddenly did something that surprised everyone—!
With a single stride, Chu Youtong charged straight toward Su Qianqian.
But Su Qianqian merely took a startled step back at first, then seemed to think of something.
Her expression became odd, and even Lin Muxue didn’t move, only continued to glower.
Because… although Chu Youtong was at the mountain gate, there was still a considerable distance to the actual sect grounds, with the Protector Array in between…
“Bang!”
Chu Youtong crashed headlong into the Spiritual Power Shield! It looked painful.
But she didn’t care, instead sprawling herself against the array, curling her lips in a flirtatious smile as she shouted at Su Qianqian:
“Darling, you’re just too cute right now ♥️, hurry, I can’t wait any longer, come back with me, ‘big sis’ will play something fun with you~♥️”
At this, the crowd of disciples turned their eyes to Su Qianqian, but Su Lingling immediately stepped in front of her sister:
“You vixen! What do you want with my sister! There’s no way she’s going with you. If you keep pestering, I’ll cut you!”
But Chu Youtong wasn’t fazed by the threat. Instead, she sized up Su Lingling, her eyes laughing:
“You’re adorable too~. Why not come with me as well? I don’t mind a pair of lovely sisters~”
Seeing Chu Youtong act like a “creep,” Su Lingling, having never encountered such a situation, retreated a few steps in confusion.
“Enough!!! Chu Youtong, I’ll give you three breaths to get lost! Or else I won’t mind killing a troublemaker!”
Just as Chu Youtong was about to continue her teasing, Lin Muxue finally lost all patience.
Su Qianqian had previously begged her to hold back and not immediately cut Chu Youtong down—after all, it could easily cause a sect conflict—so she’d been suppressing her killing intent.
But now this woman was daring to make a move on her two disciples?!
“What troublemaker? You hurt my feelings! I haven’t even blamed you for hiding my darling from me! And besides, I’ve never done anything bad~ right, Su~ Qian~Qian~♥️? Your Master is so fierce, unlike me. I’ve never been fierce to anyone~”
Chu Youtong showed no fear at Lin Muxue’s threat. Instead, she seized the moment to act coquettish with Su Qianqian.
Suddenly, Su Qianqian felt the sword in Lin Muxue’s hand beside her was already drawn, radiating an invisible killing intent.
Hurriedly, she stopped her master—if a fight broke out, things would get messy!
Thanks to Su Qianqian’s intervention, Lin Muxue hesitated and sheathed her sword again.
But with Chu Youtong’s mouth, if this went on any longer, someone was definitely getting cut!
After soothing her master, Su Qianqian helplessly addressed the gathering crowd of disciples:
“All of you, head back for now. This is just some personal business of mine.”
Given her identity as the Sect Leader’s Disciple—and with the Sect Leader present—none dared protest.
They dispersed in a hurry.
During this, Chu Youtong kept quiet, simply beaming at Su Qianqian.
Once the unrelated disciples had left, Su Qianqian turned to Chu Youtong with a look of exasperation and resignation, while Chu Youtong happily waved hello at her.
“Chu Youtong, what are you trying to pull…? Do you even know your own identity? A Saintess of a demonic sect showing up at a righteous sect’s gate? Are you tired of living?!”
Su Qianqian covered her face. She’d never figured out Chu Youtong’s logic.
But Chu Youtong didn’t answer directly. Instead, in a petulant, spoiled voice, she pretended to be upset:
“You never called me that before. Back when you were in the Hehuan Sect, you used to call me Tongtong. If you don’t, I don’t want to answer your question~”
“You—!”
Su Qianqian was rendered speechless by anger.
She glanced at Lin Muxue, whose sword was almost impossible to restrain. There was no way she could call her “Tongtong” now…
Lin Muxue suppressed her killing intent, then glared at the pretending-to-be-innocent Chu Youtong through gritted teeth:
“You came all this way—didn’t your sect try to stop you? Do you want to start a war between the Hehuan Sect and the Sword Sect?!”
“Heh, and when you fought Luo Wuhen, did your sect try to stop you? Did you want the Sword Sect and the Ziyuan Kingdom to go to war~”
“Su Qianqian is my disciple. It’s only right for me to take back my disciple!”
“She also agreed to become my exclusive Furnace. It’s only right for me to take back my Furnace!”
“Hiss—!”
A sword qi swept past Chu Youtong’s ear, slicing off a small lock of her hair.
But Chu Youtong didn’t care. She looked pitifully at Su Qianqian, her voice soft:
“Darling, your master is so~~~ fierce~. She almost killed me~”
“You know you can’t win, so just leave already! You’ve already done your best. If you keep running your mouth and get cut down, don’t blame me for it!”
Su Qianqian had had enough—her fists were clenched!
On the side, Su Lingling watched the exchange between Chu Youtong, her master, and her sister, feeling utterly bewildered.
What’s going on here?
Why are Master and Sister both bickering with this strange demoness, who’s about the same height as Sister?
“You… Why are you pestering Sister? Do you know each other? Since when?”
In the end, Su Lingling couldn’t help but ask.
Chu Youtong covered her mouth at Su Lingling’s question, then looked to Su Qianqian:
“She doesn’t know… about your identity?”
At this, Su Qianqian turned away, guilty.
Lin Muxue knew Su Qianqian didn’t want to discuss this in front of family, and was about to stop Chu Youtong from saying more, but was halted by a complicated look from Su Qianqian…
“Forget it, let her say it… I’d already expected this would happen when I brought Lingling along. I’ll have to face it eventually. Now that my identity’s about to be exposed, Lingling will find out sooner or later, but I never had the courage to tell her. Might as well take this chance…”
Outside, Chu Youtong saw Su Qianqian’s hesitation, then thought of “his” personality, instantly understanding. Her lips curled, and she looked at Su Lingling:
“We’ve known each other for ages~ Even before she was born~”
“Huh? What do you mean?”
Su Lingling was completely lost. Knew her before she was born?
“Ah, well… why don’t you ask your sister to tell you herself~
As for why I’m always pestering your sister… mostly because she’s just so lovable. And now she’s so cute, too. How could I not stick to her~”
Chu Youtong said with a mischievous grin.
Hearing Chu Youtong’s reply, Su Lingling was half suspicious, half resigned:
“Ah… that’s true. With Sister’s personality and looks, anyone who spends time with her would like her…”
Glancing at the still sword-drawn Lin Muxue, Chu Youtong dusted off her robes and stood:
“I came this time just to check on my darling. Now that I’ve confirmed she’s fine, I’ll head out. I’ll be back in a while, so don’t miss me~”
With that, she looked at Su Lingling, who immediately became wary, still remembering the teasing from earlier!
“Don’t be nervous~ Don’t be nervous~ I won’t tease you anymore. Your sister is my sister, too~!
Before I go, let me give you a little gift—drawn by me! Make sure to sneak a look at it tonight~”
With a flourish, Chu Youtong suddenly broke through the array’s restrictions, putting Lin Muxue on guard again!
But Chu Youtong’s display of power was merely to hand Su Lingling a finely-wrapped gift box~
“My dear little sister, a welcome gift, no need to thank me~”
Leaving behind a mysterious smile, Chu Youtong vanished.
Su Lingling stared at the gift in her hand, then looked hesitantly at Su Qianqian and Lin Muxue.
Su Qianqian was still massaging her brow, sighing as she said to Su Lingling:
“Accept the gift if you like, but knowing Chu Youtong’s personality, it’s probably either something meant to prank you or something indecent…”
Hearing her sister, Su Lingling eyed the exquisite gift box with a touch of disdain.
But… what kind of prank or “indecent thing” could it be? She was growing more and more curious…
In the end, she couldn’t resist opening the box, only to find… a thick book?
Puzzled, Su Lingling picked up the book and flipped it open.
After glancing at a single page, she immediately shut it, her face turning bright red!
Su Qianqian and Lin Muxue naturally noticed Su Lingling’s reaction. Su Qianqian teased her sister:
“So, was it something indecent?”
“It’s… a Spring Palace Album…”
Su Lingling stammered, remembering what she’d just seen, her blush deepening.
“What do you plan to do with it, then? Want me to handle it for you…?”
“No!”
To Su Qianqian’s surprise, Su Lingling refused flatly.
“Ahem, what I mean is… I can’t let Sister see something so unhealthy. I’ll handle it myself.”
With that, Su Lingling put the Spring Palace Album into her Storage Ring.
Su Qianqian shook her head and smiled without saying a word.
Heh, grown up now—she’s reached that age, after all.
Honestly, under normal circumstances, Su Lingling would never have refused her sister’s suggestion.
But the contents of that book, and the two characters inside…
Just thinking about it made Su Lingling feel like steam was pouring from her head again…
Meanwhile, on her way back, Chu Youtong was still smirking.
The Spring Palace Album she’d given Su Lingling was drawn by her own secret technique: the figures inside would change according to the observer’s thoughts.
If not consciously controlled, they’d reveal the desires hidden deep in one’s heart.
She wondered what her future dear little sister saw? Hehe~
Back with Su Lingling, she gave a little cough, eager to change the topic:
“Um, Sister, how do you know that… demoness? Why did she say she knew you even before you were born? And she seems to know Master, too?”
Hearing this, Su Qianqian could no longer smile.
Her face grew serious and she sighed deeply, finally deciding to come clean to her little sister…
