Chapter 426 Brother-in-law, shall my sister and I marry you together?
The village of Zuxing Immortal is surrounded by misty clouds, making the whole village look like a fairyland.
Deep within the village lies an elegant, independent manor, with blue tiles, white walls, and a stone ditch flowing gently.
Hinata Hyuga and Hanabi Hyuga stood facing each other in the manor's private training ground.
Both sisters were dressed in plain-colored nunneries, the hems of their robes fluttering gently in the breeze.
"Sister, I'm going to do it!"
Hinata Hanabi let out a sharp shout and stomped her foot hard on the ground, making a dull thud on the bluestone slab.
Her fair palm, imbued with fierce chakra, struck Hinata's chest pressure point.
During his training in the Immortal Village these past few days, he has become increasingly proficient in every move of the Soft Fist. The palm wind sweeps across the ground, creating gusts of air, clearly showing that he has exerted all his strength.
Despite Hanabi's relentless attacks, Hinata Hyuga simply stood still.
She didn't even move a step, her clear eyes filled with a hint of tolerance for her younger sister. Just as Hanabi's fist was about to strike, she gently touched it like plucking a flower.
With a soft "bang," Hinata Hanabi felt a powerful force coming towards her, and a tingling sensation spread from her arm to her shoulder.
She staggered backward three steps uncontrollably, and would have fallen to the ground if she hadn't twisted her waist in time to regain her balance.
Hinata Hanabi raised her hand to support herself against a nearby stone pillar, her chest rising and falling slightly with her rapid breathing, clearly shocked by the fight just now!
Hinata Hyuga is no longer the timid little girl she once was; she is now a top-tier Six Paths level expert, exuding immense power with every move she makes.
Despite Hinata Hanabi's all-out attack, it was as futile as throwing an egg against a rock.
The chakra fluctuations on the training ground gradually subsided, and the swirling clouds returned to their steady flow.
Hinata Hanabi clutched her slightly numb wrist, gently rubbing the sore spot. She appeared completely unharmed, not even having been touched by her sister's clothes, so a deep sense of resentment flashed in her eyes.
Her cheeks puffed out slightly, clearly because she was throwing a tantrum over her lopsided defeat in the competition.
Her older sister used to be no match for her, but after her sister got together with Lord Mitsufumi, she found herself completely powerless against her. This sense of defeat was hard for her to accept, and the tip of her nose turned slightly red.
Just then, a familiar figure slowly walked along the stone path of the manor. The hem of his dark brocade robe swept lightly across the bluestone pavement with each step, stirring up a few falling bamboo leaves. The kingly aura emanating from him spread out like an invisible pressure, causing the surging chakra around him to subconsciously restrain itself, and even the clouds in the air seemed to freeze for a moment.
Uchiha Sanfeng was dressed in a dark brocade robe, with silver thread embroidered on the robe, which shimmered with his movements, exuding an air of elegance and nobility.
His dark hair was tied up and secured with a jade hairpin, revealing his smooth forehead. His red eyes held a lazy smile as he looked at the two sisters in the center of the training field.
Today is Hinata Hyuga's birthday, so he made a special trip to Sage Village to visit her.
Unexpectedly, upon entering the manor, they stumbled upon this competition between the sisters.
Seeing Hanabi clearly making a scene in the arena, and Hinata with a calm expression, the smile in his eyes deepened.
Upon seeing the person who arrived, Hinata Hanabi's unhappiness vanished instantly, as if her previous frustration and resentment had never existed.
From a young age, she had harbored a deep affection for her powerful and charismatic brother-in-law, and secretly hoped that she could marry Lord Sanfeng along with her sister.
Recently, her older sister has been constantly complaining about Lord Mitsumine, saying that he is a womanizer with many women around him and that she should have less contact with him. This has inevitably made Hanabi feel rebellious and disgusted.
In her eyes, Lord Mitsumine was such a perfect man, and her sister must be afraid that she would steal him away.
In addition, having just lost to her sister in the competition, she was already holding back a lot of resentment. But when she saw Sanfeng, all her negative emotions were thrown to the winds.
She ran quickly to her brother-in-law's side and naturally and affectionately took his arm. Her cheeks were slightly flushed with shyness, but her eyes were full of undisguised enthusiasm and joy.
"Future brother-in-law! What brings you here? Did you come especially to see my sister?"
Hinata Hanabi felt the strong arms beneath the fabric, and her heart skipped a beat.
Uchiha Mitsunori looked down at the jubilant little girl beside him. Her eyes were full of undisguised admiration and joy, which warmed his heart.
"Well, after finishing up on the planet, I came to check on you all and see how you're doing in the Immortal Village, and whether you've been slacking off in your cultivation."
Hinata Hyuga, who was not far away, saw this scene and felt her temples throbbing, a deep headache welling up in her heart.
She knew Hanabi's thoughts all too well. This manor was secluded from the world, and there were no outsiders to disturb them in the training ground. Hanabi completely lost her inhibitions. When she saw the Uchiha Mitsurugi, she seemed to lose all sense of propriety, daring to say and do anything.
She was about to step forward and pull the two apart to stop Hanabi's intimate behavior, but unexpectedly, Hinata Hanabi preemptively said something even more unexpected, leaving her frozen in place.
Hanabi tilted her head slightly, blinking her bright, lively eyes, her long eyelashes fluttering like butterfly wings.
"Future brother-in-law, do I look beautiful today? I specially wore my new monk's robe!"
As she spoke, she twirled slightly, a gentle breeze causing her hair to flutter, revealing a girl's unique liveliness and charm.
Her gaze was fixed on Sanfeng's face, afraid of missing the slightest reaction from him, and she was eagerly anticipating his praise.
A smile flashed in Uchiha Mitsunori's eyes. He could naturally see the thoughts behind Hanabi's actions, but he did not point them out, taking it as just the naivety of a young girl.
He nodded slightly, his gaze lingering briefly on her, and praised her in accordance with her words: "Beautiful, it suits you very well. This training robe makes you look very energetic."
Having received praise from Mitsufumi, Hinata Hanabi became even bolder.
She gripped Sanfeng's arm tightly, her eyes filled with almost tangible anticipation, and her cheeks flushed with embarrassment.
"Future brother-in-law, can I become your queen someday? I want to stay with you with my sister, and we sisters can take care of you together, okay? I'll be more obedient and sensible than my sister!"
As soon as she finished speaking, she stared nervously into Sanfeng's eyes, her heart pounding. She was both looking forward to his affirmative answer and fearing rejection. Her whole being was tense because of this straightforward confession.
"Fireworks! What nonsense are you talking about! You're a girl!"
Hinata Hyuga could no longer hold back. She quickly stepped forward and reached out to pull Hanabi away from Mitsuhine, her eyes filled with urgency and helplessness.
"How can you say such things! This is outrageous! Come back here right now!"
Her younger sister's blunt confession was extremely rude and made her lose face.
She knew Uchiha Mitsunori's personality all too well; he was never short of women who took the initiative to show their affections. Now that Hanabi was being so direct, it was hard to guarantee that he wouldn't be moved. A subtle bitterness and unease welled up in her heart.
Seeing this, Uchiha Mitsumine smiled and raised his hand, gently stopping Hinata from pulling Hinata away.
His gaze swept over Hanabi, who stubbornly refused to let go, then turned to Hinata, whose face was flushed with anger and whose eyes were filled with rage. He smiled slightly and said, "Hinata, don't be angry. Hanabi is an Aries, so she's naturally straightforward and independent. She always speaks her mind and can't keep things to herself. Besides, she naturally admires and adores the strong. As the lord of the ninja world, my strength speaks for itself, so it's normal for her to like me."
Upon hearing these words, which were clearly tolerant, Hinata Hyuga's pent-up anger was instantly ignited, and all her restraint and forbearance vanished.
She abruptly shook off the force of Sanfeng's hand on her, her chest heaving violently with anger.
Her brows furrowed tightly, her eyes filled with anger and disappointment: "You heartless womanizer! Even now you're still making excuses for her, do you have feelings for Hanabusa too?!"
She knew Mitsufumi's nature all too well; he was a womanizer, and his current indulgence of Hanabi inevitably made her suspicious.
She was angry at Sanfeng's lack of discretion, and even more angry at his complete disregard for her feelings. He knew she cared, yet he still said such ambiguous things. The grievances in her heart surged like a tide.
Uchiha Mitsunori smiled helplessly at her, his eyes filled with affection.
He loved seeing Hinata jealous for him; it made him feel cared for.
Then, he turned to look at Hanabi, who was staring at him expectantly, with a hint of respect for a junior in his eyes.
He gently stroked her hair with his palm, patiently guiding her, "Aries's weaknesses are obvious. They often lack enough patience and are prone to impulsiveness, mistaking liking for love, and love for affection. So, little firefly, wait until you truly grow up, experience more things, and understand what true love is before you decide whether you want to be with me."
"Brother-in-law! Don't touch my head!"
Hinata Hanabi abruptly turned her head away, dodging his touch, her cheeks puffed out, her eyes full of resentment.
"I'm not a child anymore! I'm over sixteen, and I know what I want! My feelings for you are real, not just a passing impulse!"
She glared at Sanfeng with dissatisfaction, hands on her hips. Although she felt a pang of disappointment at his rejection, she insisted on putting on a tough front and refusing to show any weakness.
In her view, her feelings were extremely sincere, but the other party treated them as a child's joke. This sense of being unappreciated made her feel particularly bad.
Uchiha Mitsunori looked at the stubborn little girl in front of him, a gentle smile in his eyes, and said nothing more.
Some truths need to be understood by Hinata Hanabi herself, slowly and patiently; no amount of advice from others will be of any use...
