Keyboard Immortal - Chapter 2262: Sisters in Unity
Yun Yuqing had never expected her sister to ask such a question and looked at her suspiciously. “Huh? Why would you care about something like that? This isn’t like you.”
Yun Jianyue was alarmed and quickly said, “Hmph, Ah Zu is my disciple’s man. Why wouldn’t I be concerned about how my own little sister stole my disciple’s man?”
“Honglei?” Yun Yuqing was a bit embarrassed. “Isn’t she your sect’s saintess? I heard that the saintess must maintain a pure body and can never marry for the rest of their life. How can she be together with Zu An?”
“The reason that rule exists is mainly because we need to cultivate Heavenly Devil Temptation. If we lose our purity ahead of time, that can prevent us from reaching a higher cultivation rank. However, Honglei is an incredible genius who has already successfully cultivated the technique, so there are no misgivings left.” Yun Yuqing harrumphed and said, “Furthermore, I am the sect master. Whether or not she can marry anyone is up to me to decide.”
Yun Yuqing looked at her with surprise. “I didn’t expect you to be so open-minded. I would have thought a famously vicious Devil Sect Master like you would immediately kill that man as soon as you found out your disciple liked someone.”
She knew that Zu An’s cultivation had only skyrocketed in recent years. In the past, he likely hadn’t been a match for her older sister.
Yun Jianyue’s face darkened. “Am I that kind of evil woman to you?”
Yun Yuqing smiled. “You can ask around in the world of warriors and see what they think of you out there.”
Yun Jianyue was speechless. She was suddenly a bit worried.
Is my reputation a bit too awful? Did I present my character as being a bit too fierce? Will Ah Zu hate that…
“Wait, you still haven’t answered my question. Why am I the one who keeps talking?” Yun Jianyue reacted. She had almost ended up going along at this woman’s pace.
When she saw her little sister, who had curved brows, a small mouth, eyes that were like autumn waters, and an obedient demeanor, she sneered inwardly.
She looks like some white lotus flower on the outside, but she’s a scheming woman inside.
“Ah Zu and I…” Yun Yuqing’s face reddened. “There aren’t that many good things to say about that.”
The way they had met wasn’t all that spectacular.
When she saw her sister’s bashful behavior, Yun Jianyue grew even more curious. “Hurry and tell me. You were saying that sisters should be unified or something. Why are you immediately hiding things now?”
Yun Yuqing looked out the window at the rising moon. Her face reddened as she said, “It’s already late, and we’re tired from busying about all day. How about we rest for now and continue the chat tomorrow?”
Yun Jianyue naturally wouldn’t let these small tricks fool her. “It’s fine. Since we sisters want to become a bit closer, let’s just sleep together. We can just do everything together and talk freely to our heart’s content.”
Yun Yuqing was speechless. She really couldn’t understand why her sister was that curious.
He’s your disciple’s man, not yours…
But when she thought about how she had cut off King Wu and how she’d been betrayed by the Demon race, she realized there really wasn’t anything she could rely on now. Bi Linglong and Liu Ning were both extremely formidable individuals, and she’d later learned that Ah Zu even had a proper wife. If she had to face all of those vixens alone, she really would be a lonely soul.
With her big sister as support, she could at least stay close to Honglei. That way, they wouldn’t have to be so scared of those love rivals anymore. Thus, she didn’t continue to refuse. She shared what had happened when Zu An passed by King Wu Manor, feeling embarrassed.
Yun Jianyue’s eyes shone brilliantly. “You and King Wu were actually a fake married couple?”
“But of course. With our real identities, how could we randomly entrust ourselves to a human? I just needed the identity of a queen as a cover. Besides, King Wu was also a pervert.” Yun Yuqing sounded a bit proud; it was a kind of pride that came from her very lineage as a member of the Demon clan’s king race.
Yun Jianyue sneered. “You make it sound so great, but isn’t Zu An also human?”
Yun Yuqing’s face reddened. “That was just something that happened suddenly. Later… Later, I discovered that I couldn’t sleep well at all, and I’d always think of him in the dead of night. I then realized that I’d already fallen in love with him.”
After all, the Phoenix Nirvana Sutra was a secret manual that one could cultivate immortality through. For that kind of opportunity, she had naturally been willing to use any method to obtain it. But she hadn’t expected that the fake act would become real, and that that guy would just be too amazing…
Yun Jianyue’s attitude was a bit sour. “Is that guy really that charming? If I’m not mistaken, he was nothing more than a court criminal back then, right? His cultivation wasn’t anything special at all.”
Yun Yuqing seemed to have remembered something. Her eyes sparkled with watery light as she said, “Ah Zu is a really special man. As long as a woman has spent the night together with him, they won’t be able to leave him anymore.”
Her words triggered something, and Yun Jianyue seemed to remember something. Her face heated up as she murmured, “Exactly…”
Yun Yuqing was bewildered.
When she saw her sister’s suspicious expression, Yun Jianyue immediately said with a firm expression, “I knew there had to be something else about him from how many women there were around him.”
Yun Yuqing had a look of relief. However, no matter how crazy her imagination was, she still wouldn’t be able to predict that her domineering and mighty big sister could have that kind of a relationship with Zu An.
“By the way, do you know who his other women are? The time we’ve spent together has always been brief. I’ve suddenly discovered that I don’t know much about him at all,” she asked, her beautiful brows furrowed with worry. Knowing one’s enemy and knowing oneself were both extremely important, but she didn’t even know who the enemy was right now! She clearly loved him deeply, but strictly speaking, they had only met a few times. When she realized that, she immediately felt a bit anxious and frightened.
“He has a loooot of women around him.” Yun Jianyue’s voice immediately turned cold.
Yun Yuqing carefully gave her sister a look.
She seems to be angry…
But I guess it makes sense. Her disciple’s man keeps womanizing, so it makes complete sense for her master to be angry.
“You should already know about Honglei. There’s also the disciple of that stone cold woman from the White Jade Sect. That woman really is my fated arch-nemesis in this life. It’s one thing if she opposes everything I do, but even a disciple she took in is fighting with m… my disciple’s woman,” Yun Jianyue said through gritted teeth. If Yan Xuehen were here, she would probably pick a fight on the spot.
“You’re talking about the Chu clan’s young lady? From what I know, she’s Ah Zu’s proper wife, right?” Yun Yuqing asked quietly.
Big sis’ ability to distort the truth really is amazing. It was clearly her disciple who stole the man of another’s disciple.
“What did you say?!” Yun Jianyue was furious. “What proper wife? They already divorced each other a long time ago! When Ah Zu was in trouble, those Chu clan snobs didn’t hesitate to cut ties with him so they wouldn’t be implicated by his crimes. They’re nothing like Honglei, who is devoted in love. She even secretly accompanied him while he was being escorted to the capital. That’s a true test of love.”
“You actually can’t blame the Chu clan for that. If it were anyone else, they would’ve most likely made the same choice. And in my opinion, the Chu and Qin clan treat him pretty well.” Yun Yuqing had done her homework; this Chu Chuyan, who was the only one Ah Zu had married, was naturally a target of her careful research.
“Hah!” Yun Jianyue sneered. “Wasn’t that because they saw Ah Zu got stronger and stronger, so they wanted to get close to him again? And yet she still acts as if she’s the proper wife or whatever. She’s just as hypocritical and shameless as her master.”
Yun Yuqing smiled.
Big sis is clearly only doing this because of her personal grudge with Sect Master Yan.
Even so, what Yun Jianyue said wasn’t completely without reason. They had clearly already divorced, so why did Chu Chuyan still consider herself the proper wife?
“Apart from the Chu clan brat, there’s one in the Pei clan too. She has that ridiculously shameless pair of breasts,” Yun Jianyue continued.
Yun Yuqing’s eyes shifted toward her sister’s bursting chest, and she was quite shocked. “They can’t be bigger than yours, right?”
Yun Jianyue’s face heated up. “I have no idea what that woman grew up on, but it really is ridiculous.” When she recalled Pei Mianman’s appearance, she couldn’t help but sigh.
Yun Yuqing sat up with a startled expression. With such an introduction, Pei Mianman really had to be a formidable opponent.
“There’s also the Yu clan woman, whom you’ve probably heard of before. She used to be called the world’s number one beauty.” As she spoke, Yun Jianyue became more and more frustrated.
Why are all of them formidable opponents?
Yun Yuqing said with a smile, “That’s just a nickname some busybodies came up with. The late emperor was still a prince at the time, and with him being a part of the mix, that was why the rumors got blown out of proportion. In my opinion, big sis’ appearance isn’t inferior to Madam Yu’s at all.”
Yun Jianyue rolled her eyes. “Enough with the flattery. She’s the Medusa Queen, someone who can bring down a country with her beauty. The temptation she represents for men is no joke.”
She had seen Yu Yanluo before. The latter’s beauty made even a woman like herself feel as if she wanted to get closer.
“We are demon witches too, though.” Yun Yuqing was a bit upset.
“Witch…” Yun Yuqing suddenly sighed while deep in thought.
…
Meanwhile, Zu An had been planning to find Bi Linglong or Liu Ning to talk to them, but he discovered that they were both busy with their respective political tasks, and didn’t have time at all.
Helpless to do anything else, he could only return to the Heart Nurturing Palace. At the very least, the place wasn’t too unfamiliar to him. He had frequently visited it when Zhao Han ruled the empire, as well as when Zhao Ruizhi rose to the throne after. He hadn’t expected that it would ever become his.
All of the furnishings and articles had been swapped out, and the current style was entirely different from before. Even the maids and eunuchs had been completely switched.
Linglong really is considerate.
He was busy giving himself a small tour when someone suddenly reported that a woman wished to meet with him and make a report.
