Sisters Both Make the List

The news of Ning Fengzhi's martial soul evolving into the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda spread across the entire Douluo Continent in no time.

Some were envious, some were jealous, some were so bitter their teeth felt like they were falling out, and others began to hatch devious schemes.

Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect.

Yu Yuanzhen sat upright in the main seat, his face full of bitterness.

"That old brat Ning Fengzhi really hit the jackpot!" He let out a heavy snort, the teacup in his hand creaking under his grip. "He raised a good daughter! If it weren't for his daughter making it onto the Genius Ranking and obtaining that so-called immortal herb, would Ning Fengzhi be where he is today?"

Beside him, Yu Luomian stroked his beard and said gloomily, "Big Brother, come to think of it... our Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect really doesn't seem to have any outstanding female disciples."

Yu Yuanzhen's face turned even darker.

He stood up abruptly and waved his large hand.

"Pass down the order! From this day on, all clansmen must produce daughters as soon as possible! Whoever gives birth to a daughter will be heavily rewarded! Those who give birth to sons... will be punished!"

The elders looked at each other, their expressions incredibly colorful.

Punished for having a son? What kind of logic was that?

But seeing the murderous look on Yu Yuanzhen's face, no one dared to say a word and could only nod repeatedly in agreement.

Clear Sky Sect.

Several elders sat in a circle, the atmosphere more subtle than it had ever been.

"Ning Fengzhi... Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda..." the Second Elder muttered. "An auxiliary-type soul master, actually relying on his daughter to reach this point."

The Fifth Elder sighed, "Our Clear Sky Sect has always favored men over women, but look at it now—raising a daughter well is far better than raising a son!"

The First Elder, still recovering from serious injuries, stroked his beard, his eyes flashing with a sharp light. "Come to think of it... our Clear Sky Sect is not without outstanding women. That girl Tang Yuehua has a beauty rarely seen in this world. Although she is over twenty-five, the Sky Screen has more than just one Genius Ranking; perhaps there will be opportunities in the future!"

The eyes of the elders lit up instantly.

"Yes, yes! That girl Yuehua is the apple of our Clear Sky Sect's eye!"

"If she could be favored by that Brother Cao and cultivate the Yin-Yang Reincarnation Technique, then our Clear Sky Sect..."

"The First Elder is wise!"

The First Elder stroked his beard, a look of smug satisfaction on his face.

Strength Clan.

Compared to the envy and jealousy of other families, the Strength Clan's approach was much simpler and more brutal.

The clan leader, Titan, stood before the ancestral hall, looking at the clansmen kneeling on the ground before him, and waved his large hand.

"Men."

"Drag Tailong, Taigao, and Taiai away."

"Remove their roots of impurity!"

"They shall walk the continent as daughters!"

The disciples whose names were called: "Ah???"

Oh no! The clan leader has lost his mind!

Tianshui Academy.

Dean Shui Qing'er and her husband Jiang Luyuan looked up at the Sky Screen together, both of them wearing slightly melancholy expressions.

"That old brat Ning Fengzhi really had a stroke of luck," Jiang Luyuan said softly, his tone tinged with a hint of envy.

"However, our Tianshui Academy isn't bad either. There are plenty of beautiful girls; who knows, maybe one day they'll catch the eye of that Brother Cao?"

Beside him, Shui Yue'er heard this and the corner of her mouth twitched slightly, but she remained silent.

Jiang Luyuan continued to lament, "In our academy, Shui Bing'er, Shui Yue'er, Xue Wu, and so many other beautiful female students—any one of them pulled out at random is no worse than those on the ranking. Why haven't I seen any of them on it? Could it be that Brother Cao has poor eyesight?"

Shui Yue'er: "..."

Dad, if the girls on that ranking heard you say that, you'd probably be beaten to a pulp.

Jiang Luyuan was completely oblivious, still lamenting, "Come to think of it, Bing'er, Yue'er, you are also top beauties of our academy. When will you be able to make the ranking so your father can enjoy some glory too?"

Shui Yue'er was just about to speak.

"BOOM!!!"

A brilliant golden pillar of light descended from the firmament, directly enveloping Shui Yue'er.

Jiang Luyuan's eyes went round as saucers instantly!

He opened his mouth wide, staring blankly at his daughter enveloped in the golden light.

Did I just cast a blessing with my mouth?

[Genius Ranking, Seventh Place: Shui Yue'er.]

[Identity: Daughter of the Dean of Tianshui Academy.]

[Strength: Level 92 Titled Douluo.]

[Technique: Yin-Yang Reincarnation Technique.]

[Reward: Youth-Preserving Pill, grants eternal youth.]

BOOM!!!

The entire Tianshui Academy erupted in an instant!

"Shui Yue'er! It's Senior Shui Yue'er!"

"A level 92 Titled Douluo! My god! She's usually so cute, yet she's actually a Titled Douluo!"

"A Youth-Preserving Pill! Eternal youth! Heavens! I want one too!"

Countless female students shrieked, their eyes filled with longing.

As for Jiang Luyuan, he was completely dumbfounded at this moment.

He had just been lamenting that Brother Cao had poor taste, and in the blink of an eye, his own daughter had made the list!

"Yue... Yue'er..." he stammered.

Amidst the golden light, a playful smile curled the corners of Shui Yue'er's lips.

"Dad, didn't you just say you wanted your daughter to make the list?"

Jiang Luyuan: "..."

Shui Yue'er chuckled softly, looked down at the pill emitting a faint glow in her palm, and tilted her head to swallow it.

"Brother Cao, where are you?"

"Are you just as breathtakingly handsome as you were in my dreams?"

Shui Bing'er.

The Ice Phoenix of Tianshui Academy and Shui Yue'er's biological sister was standing quietly behind a pillar at this very moment.

A hint of shyness appeared on her cold, beautiful face.

The scenes from those dreams flashed through her mind incessantly.

She and her sister, dressed in identical light blue dresses, sat side by side.

Brother Cao's voice remained as gentle as ever: "Bing'er, Yue'er, for today's cultivation, you must wear the same clothes and use the same postures. I want to see the effects of twin sisters cultivating in sync."

They had done as he asked.

Then came more nights, more cultivation sessions, and more times... the same clothes, the same postures.

Every time those images surfaced, Shui Bing'er's cheeks burned.

Just as she was immersed in those embarrassing memories, another pillar of golden light descended from the sky!

This time, it enveloped Shui Bing'er directly!

[Genius Ranking, 6th place: Shui Bing'er.]

[Identity: Daughter of the Tianshui Academy Dean.]

[Strength: Level 92 Titled Douluo.]

[Technique: Yin-Yang Reincarnation Technique.]

[Reward: Youth-Preserving Pill, grants eternal youth.]

BOOM!!!

Tianshui Academy erupted once again!

"Shui Bing'er! It's Senior Shui Bing'er!"

"She made the list too! Both sisters are on the list!"

"My god! Isn't that Brother Cao a bit too greedy? He took both of our Tianshui Academy's sister flowers!"

"Sister flowers together... tsk tsk, this Brother Cao is really..."

Jiang Luyuan, meanwhile, had completely turned to stone.

"Bing... Bing'er too..."

He could accept Yue'er making the list earlier; after all, having one daughter caught the eye of that Brother Cao could be considered an honor.

But now, both daughters were on the list?

That Brother Cao had taken both of his daughters?

"Isn't that too greedy?!"

"Those are the daughters I raised with such hard work! You just snatched them both away like that?"

What Jiang Luyuan failed to notice was that behind him, another figure wore an expression far more complex than his own.

Shui Qing'er.

Jiang Luyuan's wife, and the mother of Shui Bing'er and Shui Yue'er.

She stood there quietly, watching her eldest daughter enveloped in golden light, a trace of guilt flickering across her face.

Those scenes from her dreams, those nights spent conversing with Brother Cao, those cultivation sessions that made her heart race and her face flush...

She dared not tell Jiang Luyuan.

She dared not let anyone know at all.

But sooner or later, she would also appear on the list.

When that time came...

Shui Qing'er lowered her head, a faint blush appearing on her still-charming face.

As for Jiang Luyuan, he continued to sigh at the sky, completely oblivious to the kind of surprise that was about to befall him.
