Chen Sisi thought this was the end of the story, but the leader of the Illusion Demon Sect continued, “From that day on, the sister and the younger sister received the full support of the family. The elder sister displayed astonishing talent, her strength skyrocketed, but the younger sister was more quiet, only knowing how to dabble in literature and painting.”
“But both of them rose in status within the family, even receiving the treatment of family heirs. The younger sister thought that from then on, they would be free from worry about food and clothing, but the elder sister told her that they had merely moved from one wolf's den to another tiger's den and did not truly have freedom.”
“At that time, the younger sister was quite naive and did not understand what her sister meant. As the sisters grew up, the elder sister's strength advanced by leaps and bounds, and her fame spread. Suitors came knocking at the family's door, but the family did not agree to any of the suitors' requests and openly stated that the elder sister's marriage was her personal matter. Whoever wanted to marry her had to gain her approval.”
“The younger sister was deeply moved when she heard this, but the elder sister coldly laughed and said that was because the family had not yet seen a worthy investment and was still waiting for the right opportunity to turn down others using excuses.”
“The younger sister became angry and questioned her sister why she spoke so negatively about the family. Over the years, the family had indeed taken good care of them; the past should be left in the past. However, the elder sister only sighed upon hearing this and said nothing. Later, the younger sister came to realize that her sister was right because at a gathering, when a direct descendant from a much more powerful family saw the elder sister, he immediately thought she was extraordinary and wanted to pursue her.”
“But that person had a terrible reputation in the Martial Domain; he was a playboy who changed women several times a day and treated other women like tools for cultivation. The number of women he had killed was countless, and this was even a well-known secret in the Martial Domain.” The leader of the Illusion Demon Sect's eyes suddenly turned cold. “After the younger sister learned of this, she naively thought the family would refuse the suitor as they had done before. Even if they were afraid of his might, they would at least put up some resistance. But who would have known that after the family learned of this, they actually agreed and even told the suitor that besides the elder sister, they had a younger sister as well. The two were twin sisters, each with their own charm, and if the suitor was willing, he could also have the younger sister.”
“The younger sister was stunned at that time and wanted to escape the family, but she was imprisoned. Later, she learned that the gathering had been intentionally arranged by the family to allow that powerful family's young master to take a liking to the elder sister, and the family's goal was to gain the support of that power in order to strengthen their position in the Martial Domain.”
“Upon hearing this news, the younger sister completely collapsed. She realized that the most treacherous thing in the world was not anything else but the human heart. The reason the family changed their attitude and took good care of the sisters was not due to a sense of morality but merely because they valued the sisters' beauty and talent, wanting to gain greater benefits.”
“At that time, only their aunt, who adopted them, genuinely considered their well-being and even wanted to help the elder and younger sisters escape secretly. But the family’s guards were too strict; only the elder sister managed to escape, while the younger sister and their aunt were discovered. The family was furious and immediately imprisoned both the aunt and the younger sister, and they still communicated with that demon, agreeing to hand over the sisters in three days. Although the elder sister had escaped, they could first give the younger sister to him to enjoy, and once they captured the elder sister, they would send her over too.”
