Chapter 1073: My Big Sister Is Even Stronger Than Me

Huang Daoqi said,

“Our cultivation process isn’t all that complicated. First comes gaining strength, then mastering that strength, and finally knowing how to use it. You’ve advanced, which means you’ve gained new power—but now you must learn to control it. The best outcome is to fully understand how to wield your strength. Only then can you build a solid foundation. If you simply keep pushing your realm higher without properly mastering your power, it will harm your future. Do you understand what I mean?”

“Yes, yes, I understand. Thank you for the reminder. Then… what should I do?” Bai Xiuxiu looked at Huang Daoqi curiously.

“I’ll give you a book,” Huang Daoqi replied. “It’s a manual on Dragon Knight cultivation. It lays out the basics—you can start there. It’ll help you in mastering your strength. If there’s anything you don’t understand, you can always come ask me. And here in the City Lord’s Mansion, I’ll also prepare a residence for you.”

“Thank you, Father,” Bai Xiuxiu said with some delight.

Huang Daoqi smiled slightly.

“We’re family, no need to be so polite. By the way, I’ve already announced publicly that you are the daughter I’ve reclaimed, and I’ve entered your name into our clan’s genealogy in Celestial Dragon City. Of course, some may still know you’re a wild-born dragon, but that doesn’t matter. If anyone gossips, just ignore them. As long as I acknowledge you, you are my daughter in truth.”

Hearing this, Bai Xiuxiu’s eyes turned red. She nodded hard.

“Father, you’re too good to me. But… but…”

She faltered, as though something weighed on her mind.

Huang Daoqi blinked.

“What is it, Xiuxiu? Is something wrong?”

She hesitated for a while, then raised her head, eyes firm.

“Father, there’s something I haven’t told you. May I tell you now? Please don’t be angry with me.”

In this moment, she shed her usual icy composure. There was something tender and girlish in her manner. Off to the side, Huang Yuanlang stared at her, utterly entranced. If it weren’t for his father’s intimidating presence, he would have blurted out a promise for her on the spot.

“What is it? Of course I won’t blame you.” Huang Daoqi’s mind sharpened—learning more about Bai Xiuxiu could only be to his advantage.

Bai Xiuxiu said,

“Actually, I have an older sister. She also underwent dragon transformation. It’s just… she’s always been cautious, so only I entered the family.”

“A sister? Dragon transformation?” Huang Daoqi’s eyes lit up. “What abilities does she have?”

“She’s actually stronger than me,” Bai Xiuxiu said. “Her physical strength is greater. But her personality isn’t very good—she’s proud and self-reliant, and doesn’t easily trust others. Still, you’ve been so kind to me. I’ve already grown so much stronger here. Her talent is even greater than mine. If she were willing to come, I believe you would treat her well too, and she would also become stronger.”

At this, father and son exchanged a glance, both seeing shock in the other’s eyes. This was a windfall! Another Higher Dragon with talent greater than Bai Xiuxiu’s? Could such a thing be possible?

Huang Daoqi masked his excitement and nodded calmly.

“Of course. The gates of our clan are always open to any dragon.”

Though he said so, he wasn’t entirely convinced. After all, Bai Xiuxiu was a rare dual-attribute dragon. If her sister was purely strength-based, then by dragon standards that was of a lower grade.

But even so, if her sister was truly a Higher Dragon, she was still invaluable. Gaining another Higher Dragon would strengthen the family overall.

“That’s wonderful,” Bai Xiuxiu said brightly. “I could tell—when she saw how much I had advanced, she was envious. Let me bring her here, all right? Father, you must treat her kindly. If she says or does anything rude, please forgive her. I believe she’ll come to like it here. We grew up together, slept together in slumber, and awoke together. Her bloodline is even stronger than mine. She was originally a Deep Sea Abyssal Serpent—her innate talent far surpasses mine.”

Hearing her emphasize again and again that her sister’s gift exceeded hers, Huang Daoqi and Yuanlang grew ever more curious.

Yuanlang couldn’t help but grin.

“Maybe she’s stronger than you, but she certainly can’t be more beautiful, right?”

Bai Xiuxiu froze, then shook her head, a little embarrassed.

“My sister is very beautiful.” She lowered her gaze, as if suppressing some emotion—maybe even a trace of jealousy.

“And where is she now?” Huang Daoqi asked.

“She’s been with me all along, protecting me. She’s disguised herself as one of the Blue Sea Clan. I’ll bring her here, shall I? I’ve already asked her—she’s a little interested in joining our clan.”

“Good. Yuanlang, go with Xiuxiu. Represent our family and invite her sister here,” Huang Daoqi ordered.

The moment Yuanlang heard Xiuxiu say her sister was even more beautiful, he was all too eager.

“Then let’s go right away, Xiuxiu!”

The two of them left the mansion, transforming once more into the Golden Celestial Dragon and the Abyssal Frost Demon Dragon, flying toward Xiuxiu’s residence.

Huang Daoqi, meanwhile, was in high spirits. He hadn’t expected Xiuxiu to bring him such a surprise—an older sister.

A strength-type Higher Dragon? If she could also take human form, recruiting her would be a tremendous boon to the family.

Clearly, his approach with Xiuxiu was paying off. Wild-born dragons were almost unheard of these days, and now he had secured not one but two. His luck was truly extraordinary.

Yuanlang followed Xiuxiu back to her residence. Xiuxiu asked him to wait in the courtyard while she transformed into human form and hurried inside.

She went straight to her room. As soon as she shut the door behind her, she could no longer hold back and burst into laughter.

“What are you laughing at?” a voice asked, annoyed.

Xiuxiu looked up—and froze.

Before her stood a woman with long black hair, skin as pale as ice, tall and graceful, clad in a silver gown that hugged every curve. Her large black eyes were luminous and captivating.

Beside “her” stood Tang Yuge and Yuanen Huihui, both wearing strange expressions.

Huihui had his hands on his face, his muscles twitching uncontrollably, while Yuge’s lips kept trembling as though she was about to laugh.

“All right, all right—if you want to laugh, then laugh. Just don’t give it away later,” the black-haired beauty said helplessly—in a man’s voice.

To be honest, he could barely look at himself in the mirror.

Without a doubt, this black-haired beauty was none other than Lan Xuanyu himself!

That day, when Xuanyu had said he couldn’t appear as Bai Xiuxiu’s boyfriend—lest it stir up unnecessary trouble—Xiuxiu had suddenly had an idea.

Her suggestion was that Xuanyu disguise himself as a woman, not as her boyfriend, but as her older sister. That way, no one could object. Yuanlang would never dare be jealous of her sister. This would also distract Yuanlang’s attention from Xiuxiu herself.

As another Higher Dragon entering the Huang Family, Xuanyu would then have every reason to use the Dragon Force Hall to absorb dragon energy.

And more importantly, he could stay close to Xiuxiu and watch over her.
