Time flew by quickly, and night fell; tomorrow would be the opening of the Myriad Races Assembly.
However, a bizarre and incredible event occurred at midnight with the family portrait hanging in the Zichen Hall.
The figures of the five lifelike women on the scroll suddenly radiated a nine-colored brilliance, followed by nine beautiful, ethereal figures flying out from within.
Upon emerging, the five of them stood stunned, looking at their own bodies and then back at the painting with looks of pure disbelief.
Simultaneously, the day for the opening of the Myriad Races Secret Realm finally arrived.
Nine magnificent and massive flying ships soared out from the Tantai Estate.
Su Chun, Luo Li, and Luo Yu naturally stayed on one of the treasure ships with Tantai Xuan and the others.
On the flying vessel, Su Chun leaned over the railing, taking in the surrounding scenery.
The ship moved with great speed, quickly leaving Menghua Province and entering the vastness of the universe once more.
Many juniors of the Tantai family were also leaving Menghua Province for the first time, entering the universe where the Nine Heavens and Ten Lands were located.
Once in space, they saw many other ships from various factions joining the Tantai vessels.
The gathering of ships looked like a massive galactic fleet.
“Wow! So many people,” Su Chun exclaimed, watching the various flying treasures heading in the same direction, though her voice carried a hint of worry.
With so many people entering the Secret Realm, the competition for the Chaos Spring Eye would surely be fierce.
“Husband, don’t worry. We have your back,” Luo Yu whispered, hugging Su Chun’s slender waist from behind and rubbing against her like a cat in heat.
They hadn’t been intimate for a few days.
Su Chun had been busy painting, and to keep from distracting her, the two sisters had suppressed their desires and left her in peace.
Feeling the soft pressure against her back, Su Chun immediately grew shy.
She reached back and patted away Luo Yu’s restless, “salty” hand.
“Behave. We’re outside, and so many people are watching. How can you be so bold?”
Su Chun shot Luo Yu a playful glare.
“Husband, while there’s still time, why don’t we head back to the cabin so you can ‘treat’ me and Sister for our illness?”
Luo Yu pouted, her watery eyes looking up at Su Chun with an expression she found hard to resist.
“Please, it’s only been a few days since I last ‘fed’ you. Why isn’t your sister like this?”
Su Chun rolled her eyes.
Luo Yu wasn’t having it.
“My sister? That’s just her personality—cold on the outside, hot on the inside. Commonly known as a ‘closet pervert.’ If you don’t believe me, ask her if she wants it.”
Su Chun immediately looked at Luo Li.
Meeting Su Chun’s questioning gaze, Luo Li’s face flushed with shyness, her eyes shimmering like spring waves.
That look alone said everything.
“Just hold on a bit longer. At least wait until we arrive. Think about it—if we’re halfway through and someone calls us over for something important, wouldn’t that be even more frustrating?”
Su Chun tried to reason with them.
Luo Yu couldn’t argue with that.
Today was bound to be busy, and that scenario was highly likely.
“Fine… but, can you at least touch me a little, Husband?”
Su Chun had no choice.
“Alright, alright, you little enchantress.”
She pulled Luo Yu in front of her and, as requested, began to gently caress her over her clothes.
Standing nearby, Luo Li felt her heart itch seeing her sister being so proactive, but her temperament wouldn’t allow her to show such passion in public.
Just then, she noticed something and gave a light cough.
“Ahem. Husband, Sister… it looks like a ship from another faction is approaching.”
Su Chun quickly let go of Luo Yu, who hurriedly tidied her clothes and calmed her racing heart before looking in the direction Luo Li pointed.
In the distance, a patch of azure clouds appeared, and within them, several uniquely styled ships could be seen.
A green flag fluttered on the main ship, embroidered with an ancient character for “Wind” ($风$).
“It’s the team from the Feng Clan of Qingwei Heaven. Husband, that’s the group your eldest sister, Tantai Qing, belongs to,” Luo Li explained.
“Eldest sister? Tantai Qing?”
Su Chun recalled what Luo Li had mentioned before—the firstborn daughter of Tantai Xuan and Lan Suxin, who had married into the Feng family of Qingwei Heaven.
This sister reportedly took after Lan Suxin: gentle, virtuous, and her cultivation had already reached the Sendai Realm.
She was the strongest of the current generation in the Tantai family, though it was a pity her Yin lineage meant she couldn’t stay at home.
The Feng Clan fleet slowly drew near.
Standing on the lead azure ship was a noble lady in a form-fitting green dress.
Her temperament was gentle, and her features were seventy to eighty percent similar to Tantai Xuan’s.
Beside her stood a tall young man in a green brocade robe, and behind them was a pair of young siblings—the boy handsome and the girl charming.
Both had inherited their parents’ best features.
“That is Eldest Sister Tantai Qing.
Beside her is her husband, the Young Master of the Feng Clan, Feng Qingxuan.
Behind them are your niece and nephew, Feng Yinyu and Feng Yinyan,” Luo Li introduced in a low voice.
Su Chun studied her eldest sister, feeling an instinctive sense of warmth.
While her face resembled Tantai Xuan and Su Chun herself, her aura was more like Lan Suxin’s.
As Tantai Qing’s gaze swept over the Tantai fleet, it finally landed on Su Chun.
Seeing that face—which was almost identical to their mother’s when she was young—she became instantly overwhelmed with emotion.
Tantai Qing and Tantai Xuan were actually quite close in age, perhaps only a few decades apart.
Is that Chun’er?
Tantai Qing wondered.
She even forgot to greet Tantai Xuan and Lan Suxin first, her body blurring into a streak of light as she appeared directly beside Su Chun.
“Eldest Sister,” Luo Li and Luo Yu greeted with a bow.
“Mm, younger sisters. We’re all family now, no need for such formality. I was in seclusion when you married Chun’er and couldn’t attend; it is truly one of the great regrets of my life.”
“E-Eldest Sister?”
Su Chun managed to say.
Tantai Qing stared at Su Chun’s youthful face for a long time before suddenly pulling her into a tight embrace.
“Chun’er, you’ve grown so much! The last time I saw you was right after Mother gave birth to you. I thought you were so cute back then, but seeing you after a dozen years… you’re even cuter! You look exactly like Mother when she was young.”
Su Chun was caught off guard by this sudden burst of affection.
However, she could feel the genuine love in Tantai Qing’s voice, and a strange sense of closeness welled up in her heart.
This sister seemed different from the others at home, who usually kept a certain distance.
“Sister… you…”
Su Chun felt like she was being squeezed into the other woman’s body.
Her head was pressed firmly against Tantai Qing’s ample chest, making her blush furiously.
“Don’t call me Eldest Sister. In the Tantai family, we distinguish between direct and branch lines, but you can just call me ‘Sister.’ Come, Chun’er, say it a few more times.”
Tantai Qing grew more excited, squeezing Su Chun so hard she could barely breathe.
“Sister, first, let go… mmpf…” Su Chun tried to ask for air, but the hug only tightened.
“Chun’er, Sister is so lonely alone in Qingwei Heaven. I missed you, and Mother, and Mom so much…”
As she spoke, Tantai Qing actually started crying like a spoiled child.
Su Chun thought to herself:
What is going on?
Is my sister a ‘sister-con’?
Luo Li and Luo Yu stood by, dumbfounded.
They felt that this sister might actually love Su Chun even more than they did.
“Ahem! Wife, mind your image. So many people are watching,” a gentle voice came from the side.
It was Feng Qingxuan, who had brought their children over.
Feng Yinyan and Feng Yinyu looked on with speechless expressions.
Feng Yinyu rolled her eyes at her mother crying while holding a girl who looked just like her.
“Brother, what’s with Mother? Is it necessary to be this dramatic meeting Aunt? It’s like she’s been nursing a huge grievance.”
Feng Yinyan quickly hushed her.
“Shh! Don’t talk nonsense. Ever since Grandma had Aunt, Mother has been acting like she has lovesickness, constantly talking about her. Even if, technically, Aunt is much younger than us.”
“Sister… I… I can’t breathe…”
Su Chun managed to pull her head out of the softness.
Tantai Qing finally snapped out of it and hurriedly let go.
“Oh! Chun’er, I’m sorry, I’m sorry! Sister was just too excited. I didn’t hurt you, did I?” She waved her hands frantically.
Su Chun took a deep breath and managed a strained smile.
“I’m fine… you’re just… very enthusiastic.”
In reality, she wanted to say: I almost suffocated to death.
