Chapter 96: My Sister's Questioning! I'm Willing to Be Indulgent in Women!
Looking at his nominal sister, Dong Mo felt a headache coming on.
"So... what are you doing here instead of being the young lady of the Dong family?"
Dong Yueying tossed her long hair aside and glared at Dong Mo.
"It's nothing. I came here simply out of curiosity. What did you, you traitor, do to make the Ancestor so angry that he vomited blood and fainted?"
Dong Mo's lips twitched.
Well, they're starting by interrogating me.
"I've heard a lot about you lately." Dong Yueying stepped forward, her gaze sweeping over Dong Mo from head to toe. "Colluding with the demon race and betraying your family—I originally thought these rumors were somewhat exaggerated."
Dong Yueying paused, her gaze sweeping over Gu Ziyue behind Dong Mo, a mocking smile appearing on her lips.
"I just never expected it to all be true."
"I originally thought there was some misunderstanding about the family's claim that you were colluding with the demon race."
Dong Yueying pointed at Gu Ziyue, raising her voice eight octaves.
"Now it seems... you traitor, you actually mingled with the demon race! You have no shame whatsoever!"
Upon hearing this, Gu Ziyue's fox ears immediately perked up.
"Hmph." Dong Yueying snorted coldly, crossed her arms, and raised her chin slightly. "When we first met, you were still spouting nonsense about 'how can a sparrow know the ambitions of a swan.' I thought you were going to do something earth-shattering, but it turned out like this."
"Could it be... that your ambition is simply to spend all day flirting with women and engaging in ambiguous relationships with vixens?"
[Supreme Bone: You silly Ying, what nonsense are you spouting now? So what if Gege is being all lovey-dovey with that girl? Did my Gege eat your rice?]
Dong Mo looked at the Supreme Bone's statement on the system panel and nodded in agreement.
Exactly! Exactly! I'm willing to be obsessed with women!
As Dong Mo was thinking this, Gu Ziyue suddenly blurted out, "Wait... little girl, what do you mean by that? What do you mean by 'I was being all lovey-dovey with this blond guy'?"
"How blind must I be to fall for him!"
Dong Mo: "..."
Although Gu Ziyue was speaking up for him, her words were still incredibly hurtful.
Dong Yueying chuckled and raised the corners of her mouth, the mockery in her smile almost tangible.
"A demon is a demon. This young lady is magnanimous and won't stoop to the level of a vixen like you."
Dong Yueying's words were like a match thrown directly into a powder keg.
Gu Ziyue's expression changed instantly: "Huh? What did you say? Dare to repeat what you just said?"
"Go ahead and say it, are you afraid of me?" Dong Yueying retorted without backing down.
Just as the two women were about to fight, Dong Mo decisively stepped between them.
"Miss Ziyue!" Dong Mo said with a beaming smile, his tone somewhat ingratiating. "This is my younger sister. She's never seen much of the world and speaks without thinking. For my sake, please don't take her seriously."
Gu Ziyue was stunned for a moment, then her expression suddenly changed.
"So she's your sister. No wonder she said such nasty things."
"What do you mean?" Dong Yueying narrowed her eyes.
"Literal meaning." Gu Ziyue put her hands on her hips. "Your brother speaks rudely, and you're no less so. What's that called again? Oh right! Birds of a feather flock together."
"you……"
Seeing that the conflict was about to escalate again, Dong Mo stepped forward once more, placing his hands on Dong Yueying's shoulders and forcibly turning her to face him.
"Yueying." Dong Mo looked directly into her eyes, his tone unusually serious, "You came all this way here, not just to argue, were you?"
Dong Yueying paused. She looked into Dong Mo's double pupils, remained silent for a moment, and then took a deep breath.
"You're right, I didn't come here to argue."
Dong Yueying raised her hand to push away Dong Mo's hand that was on her shoulder, took a step back, and placed her right hand on the hilt of the sword at her waist.
"Dong Mo..."
Dong Yueying's voice suddenly became serious, and something seemed to be burning in her eyes.
"Come and fight me."
Dong Mo was stunned: "Huh?"
"I will defeat you," Dong Yueying said, enunciating each word clearly, "and personally wash away the shame you have inflicted upon the Dong family."
Dong Mo blinked, and after confirming that he hadn't misheard, he couldn't help but laugh out loud.
"Are you sure? Don't you know I'm already a Golden Core cultivator...?"
Dong Mo was only halfway through his sentence when he suddenly couldn't continue.
A powerful pressure was emanating from Dong Yueying.
That was... the pressure of a Golden Core cultivator.
Dong Yueying gripped the sword hilt, her body surging with spiritual energy, causing her clothes to flutter. Her long hair flew wildly under the influence of the spiritual energy, and her eyes reflected a faint radiance.
"It's just a Golden Core, isn't it?" She smirked, a hint of disdain in her voice. "As if everyone has one!"
[Supreme Bone: You silly girl, why are you yelling so loudly? How dare you talk to my pigeon like that? Watch your attitude!]
Upon seeing this, Dong Mo was instantly stunned. Dong Yueying had actually advanced to the Golden Core stage as well?
In the original story, she should still be in the Foundation Establishment stage at this point in time. Could it be because of the butterfly effect caused by me, the transmigrator?
"Oh?"
A lazy voice suddenly rang out from the side.
Yin Lingsu, carrying a gourd of wine, stumbled over, slightly drunk. Her cheeks were flushed, and her steps were unsteady, but her eyes shone with an astonishing brightness.
"Since your sister wants to compete with you, then go ahead and compete with her. Consider it a test of your progress in your training over this period of time."
Just as Dong Mo was about to speak, Yin Lingsu suddenly pointed at Feng Ling Shuang and Gu Zi Yue.
"Ling Shuang, Zi Yue, you two come at us too."
Feng Ling Shuang was stunned.
Gu Ziyue was also stunned.
"Huh?" Gu Ziyue blinked, her eyes full of confusion. "Teacher, what are you talking about? We're only at the Foundation Establishment stage, while they're both at the Golden Core stage—how are we supposed to compare?"
"Easy," Yin Lingsu said, shrugging as if it were a given. "Let's team up and compete!"
She pointed to Feng Ling Shuang and Dong Yue Ying: "Ling Shuang, you're paired with this little girl."
Then she pointed to Dong Mo and Gu Ziyue: "Ziyue, you're in a group with Dong Mo."
"Two against two, fair and reasonable!"
Dong Mo: "..."
"That's not right!" Dong Mo couldn't help but exclaim. "Master, how is this fair? I've been training all day, I'm exhausted, completely drained, and even standing is difficult! You want me to compete with her? That doesn't seem fair to me either!"
Yin Lingsu tilted her head and looked at Dong Mo with a silly smile on her face.
"Honey, the world is inherently unfair. You'll get used to it!"
Dong Mo: "..."
In a daze, Dong Mo seemed to see Patrick Star's silly face on Yin Lingsu's face.
"Fine, fine," Dong Mo sighed resignedly. "Let's compete then."
Gu Ziyue frowned at him, her tone tinged with displeasure: "It's just a competition, why are you making such a face? Does being on my team make you so unhappy?"
Dong Mo turned his head and gave Gu Ziyue a deep look.
"Believe me. My face is nothing compared to my life."
"Sigh... why is my life so miserable..."
Gu Ziyue's fox ears twitched, and the corner of her mouth twitched.
Standing opposite, Dong Yueying looked at Dong Mo with a complicated expression and muttered a curse.
"fool."
