Fierce Sister

"Hua Wanru, your achievements today, everything you have today. It was all given to you by me, Yang Chen. I saved you, I nurtured you. The reason you became a celebrated prodigy, admired and loved by all, was all thanks to me, Yang Chen. I, Yang Chen, believe I treated you well. I never expected you to betray me today!"

In the opulent and noble Violet-Gold Grand Hall, the young man Yang Chen, dressed in purple, gazed at the beautiful, refined, and extraordinary woman not far away. He sighed softly, his words filled with helplessness and sorrow.

The young woman had a delicate and beautiful face with fair skin. But at this moment, her lips were curled in a sneer, and she made no effort to hide her coldness. "Yang Chen, it's true, you saved me and nurtured me. But so what? Do I have to be indebted to you, grateful to you, thank you?"

"Hahaha, ridiculous. Yang Chen, Yang Chen, you are indeed called a genius by many, but you are merely a 'genius.' You have no aptitude for martial arts cultivation; you can never step onto the path of martial arts in this life. You are ultimately just trash. Genius and talent, they differ by just one word, yet the gap is immense. Your fate is to be trampled under my feet. Heh heh, you have no more use to me now. Your wealth, your pill recipes, they are all mine. Alright, you can die now."

With a wave of her hand, the young woman unleashed a radiant stream of light that illuminated the entire hall. The young man Yang Chen could only accept it all helplessly, unwillingly departing.

Yang Chen, a pill-crafting prodigy who shocked ancient and modern times, thus perished.

North Mountain County, remote Great Wilderness, Yang Family.

In a rustic room, only the cries of two women could be heard. Clearly visible was the slightly older girl, holding a handsome but exceptionally pale young man, tears dripping down her face, displaying her sorrow. Her delicate and alluring appearance was truly pitiable and heartbreaking.

The girl cried out, "Those two beasts from the Wang Family caused my brother Yang Chen to hang himself! I, Yang Caidie, will never forgive them!"

As the girl roared with hatred, she didn't notice that her brother, whom she held in her soft embrace and who was presumed dead, had a slight movement of his finger.

"Where... where am I?" Countless memories flashed through Yang Chen's mind.

Wasn't he already dead?

He, Yang Chen, a prodigy in alchemy, had shocked the world. He was the undisputed number one alchemy genius within the Imperial Domain. At only twenty-two years old, he had already reached the pinnacle of the Alchemy Way, a position so high it was chilling. However, because he trusted others too easily, he was killed by the woman he had painstakingly nurtured and was closest to.

He perished in one fell swoop, dying with deep resentment, but he never expected to be unexpectedly reborn after his death.

The vast memories of the original owner of this body instantly surged into his mind.

"This person who hanged himself is also named Yang Chen? Same name as me?" Yang Chen quickly processed the memories of the original owner of this body.

He was now in North Mountain County, a county that was almost being exiled, plagued by war and chaos, and left unattended. And his current location was in a remote part of the Great Wilderness within North Mountain County, in an ordinary tribe of the Great Wilderness, the Yang Family.

In his previous life, he would never have come to a forsaken place like North Mountain County.

The owner of this body, Yang Chen, also practiced alchemy in his previous life. However, his alchemy aptitude was utterly terrible, and he was cowardly and unmotivated. In a gambling match, he lost most of his sister's family fortune. Ashamed to live on, he then hanged himself.

It's worth mentioning that this Yang Chen was only thirteen years old when he died.

"This Yang Chen, really. He had the martial cultivation aptitude that I dreamed of in my past life, yet he committed suicide. But my rebirth here might also be fate." Yang Chen quickly digested most of the memories.

He was about to ponder some more things, but after a short while, he felt suffocated and uncomfortable. He slightly opened his eyes, only to find that the girl Yang Caidie, who was hugging him, had completely unknowingly pressed her ample bosom against his face.

This soft touch made Yang Chen blush furiously. To be honest, he had rarely had such close physical contact with a woman.

At this moment, Yang Caidie angrily roared, "Wang Family, I'll make them pay with their lives for my brother right now! Others dare not provoke the Wang Family, but I do!"

"Miss, Miss... please don't do anything rash. The Wang Family is too powerful; even our Yang Family Patriarch dares not provoke them. If you go looking for them now with your current strength, isn't that no different from seeking death?" The maidservant beside her quickly tried to stop Yang Caidie, fearing she might make an irrational decision.

Yang Caidie bit her red lips, her pretty face flushed, and she hissed, "He's my only brother, my brother. He was actually harmed to death by two beasts from the Wang Family. I, Yang Caidie, am his sister. If I don't stand up for him, who will?"

Yang Chen, who was 'enjoying' being held by Yang Caidie, seeing Yang Caidie's outburst, feared that his big-breasted sister might have some rash thoughts and decisions. He quickly made muffled sounds.

He couldn't do anything else.

If he didn't make a sound, something that was fine would have been "suffocated" to death by this Yang Caidie.

Yang Caidie was originally heartbroken, thinking of going to fight the Wang Family, the perpetrators who caused her brother's death. But she never expected her brother, in her arms, to suddenly stir, seemingly not dead.

"Yang Chen, are you okay? Don't scare your sister." Yang Caidie's eyes were wet with tears from anxiety.

Seeing Yang Caidie's nervous appearance and recalling the reason for his death, Yang Chen sighed in his heart. Then, he opened his eyes and said, "Sister, I'm fine."

"Young Master, you, you're really fine?" The pretty little maidservant jumped up excitedly.

Yang Caidie, however, tenderly squeezed Yang Chen's hand and sternly said, "Yang Chen, please don't have any more suicidal thoughts. If you hang yourself again, how will your sister live alone?"

"No, Sister, please don't!" Yang Chen was truly startled.

He took a deep look at Yang Caidie, and the memories of Yang Caidie's younger brother, Yang Chen, from his previous life flooded his mind.

The girl in front of him was named Yang Caidie.

Yang Caidie, eighteen years old, five years older than her brother Yang Chen. In this desolate land of a hundred tribes, she was famous. Known as one of the "Three Golden Hairpins," she was hailed as one of the three great beauties of the Great Wilderness's hundred tribes. However, what made Yang Caidie most famous was not her beauty, but her temper.

Yes, Yang Caidie was famously fierce, incredibly stubborn, and completely single-minded. Once she set her mind on something, even nine oxen couldn't pull her back. If you called her stupid, saying her mind wasn't sharp, she was actually intelligent and had excellent comprehension, being the foremost genius among the women of the Yang Family.

If you called her smart, she was also incredibly wild and spoke very irresponsibly.

Therefore, no one dared to provoke Yang Caidie.

Most importantly, Yang Caidie was not only wild herself, but she was also very protective. Protective of whom? Protective of her brother Yang Chen.

It was said that when Yang Chen was three years old and was bitten by a Black-Fur Wolf raised by the Sun Family, the eight-year-old Yang Caidie, with a childish voice, grabbed a knife and aggressively went to the Sun Family, insisting on killing the Black-Fur Wolf. Although she didn't succeed then and was pulled back by the elders of the Yang Family.

But who knew that Yang Caidie still remembered this matter? In her teens, when the Black-Fur Wolf was unattended, she swiftly killed it with a few slashes. Finally, she even wrote a few lines on the wolf's corpse. "Those who bully my brother shall die" – Murderer Yang Caidie.

Yes, Yang Caidie's literacy was not up to par at the time, and after racking her brains, she couldn't figure out how to write "beast," so she wrote "受" (shòu, meaning receive/accept) instead of "兽" (shòu, meaning beast).

Most importantly, it was enough that she killed the Black-Fur Wolf, but she even revealed her name. A "murderer Yang Caidie" infuriated the Sun Family to no end, and they caused a lot of trouble for the Yang Family because of this incident.

Recalling this, Yang Chen knew that his sister Yang Caidie was truly the type of person who would risk her life to fight the Wang Family for him. The Wang Family was a first-class tribe among the Great Wilderness's hundred tribes; who dared to provoke them? But you couldn't say, Yang Caidie, with her stubbornness, dared to provoke them.

With this thought, Yang Chen rubbed his head and sighed, saying, "Sister, you two should go out first. I want to be alone for a while!"

"My treasure, please don't have any more suicidal thoughts. If you hang yourself again, how will your sister live alone?" Yang Caidie said with immense heartache.

Yang Chen chuckled, "Sister, don't worry, I won't try to end my life again. I've come to my senses. At least, I can't bear to see you so sad."

Seeing no suicidal intent in Yang Chen's eyes, Yang Caidie bit her lip. "Alright then, I'll take my leave. I'll have Mingyue wait outside. If you need anything, just call for Mingyue."

Gu Mingyue, also known as Xiao Yue, was Yang Caidie's maid. She was destined to marry Yang Chen as a concubine and was completely obedient to both Yang Chen and Yang Caidie. Most importantly, this concubine, whom Yang Caidie had found from who-knew-where, not only followed their every command but at just fifteen years old, already showed the potential to be a great beauty.

As Yang Caidie's maid, Gu Mingyue had received many advances within the Yang Family. However, Gu Mingyue remained loyal and genuinely prepared to marry Yang Chen as a concubine at any time.

Now, hearing Yang Caidie's words, Gu Mingyue repeatedly said, "Young Master, if you need Mingyue, Mingyue will be outside."

"En," Yang Chen nodded, indicating he understood.

Soon, Yang Caidie and Gu Mingyue departed.

Yang Chen then took a breath, recalling everything in his mind and observing his current body.

"I never expected that I, Yang Chen, who commanded respect and adoration throughout my life in the Alchemy Way, would still be unable to escape the fate of being at the mercy of others. Ultimately, it was all because I lacked talent in martial arts back then. What good was my unparalleled brilliance throughout my life? My strength was too weak. When Hua Wanru wanted to kill me, I didn't even have a chance to resist."

Thinking of this, Yang Chen gradually smiled. "But I never imagined that heaven would not let me perish. This Yang Chen, with his excellent martial arts talent, actually didn't cultivate the martial path. It's a complete waste of resources! I, Yang Chen, dreamed of cultivating the martial path my entire life, standing at the pinnacle of the heavens, looking down upon all beings! And in this world, only the martial path is the eternal and unchanging principle."

"Although this Yang Chen's martial cultivation talent isn't top-tier, it's not bad either. Even though I couldn't step into the martial path back then, my greatest skill was nurturing geniuses and supporting them! Now that I have this body, combined with my previous nurturing system, even if this Yang Chen's talent isn't the very best, so what? It's just a pity that this Yang Chen is too much of a coward, completely useless in the Yang Family."

The owner of this body, Yang Chen, was a spoiled young master in the Yang Family, completely inept at martial arts cultivation. But in reality, it was Yang Chen himself who had excellent cultivation potential and simply refused to cultivate.

He dreamed of cultivating, yet he had a perfect physical constitution and chose to be a decadent young master. It truly made him sigh with emotion.

Hua Wanru!

The thought of her immediately brought to mind Hua Wanru, the woman who had betrayed him.

Yang Chen closed his eyes. "Hua Wanru, Hua Wanru, I nurtured you into a peerless prodigy back then, but you must know that your achievements were entirely made by me. I could nurture you, and I can certainly nurture myself!"

Yang Chen had indeed nurtured Hua Wanru without holding back, but he had ultimately kept a trump card.

This trump card, unexpectedly, laid the groundwork for the present.

At this moment, Yang Chen's blood surged, and he muttered, "Even though my talent in the Alchemy Way was peerless back then, and I created several astonishing pill recipes, I still had flaws. The flaw was in martial arts. Although my alchemy talent reached the pinnacle of the world, I was ultimately just an ordinary person at the mercy of others."

"But now it's different. Since I, Yang Chen, have been reborn here and gained a body capable of cultivation, in this life, I will not only be the alchemy genius who shocks the ancient and modern times, but I will also enter the Dao through martial arts and stand at the very peak of the world!"
