Chapter 56 - How am I Not a Woman? (2)

At that moment, Shen Yifeng suffered an unprecedented blow, and it was as if his eyes lost its usual radiance.

Shen Yifeng’s encounter with the Vermilion Bird delighted both Shen Jiayi and Shen Jiawei. Initially, they had only bitterness toward their cousin. All those years, they had only ever felt resignation due to Shen Yifeng’s dazzling achievements as they did not have the opportunity to stand out in the Vermilion Bird Family because Shen Yifeng’s name had always overshadowed them.

However, the Vermilion Bird had refused Shen Yifeng’s attempts to curry his favor.

Didn’t that mean they had a chance to compete for the Vermilion Bird?

Shen Jiayi and Shen Jiawei did not conceal their happy and excited emotions as they were too thrilled with the unexpected news. At the same time, the two devoted twins had pulled apart from each other in an instant.

At that moment, Shen Jiayi and Shen Jiawei were no longer siblings that worked together to defeat their enemies. They were rivals to compete for the Vermilion Bird, and no one could resist the temptation to obtain the power that came with the mythical beast.

“Jiawei, I’m your older sister, so you should let me have this chance.” Shen Jiayi looked at her brother grimly. After Shen Yifeng, she was the most powerful third-generation disciple, and she had the highest chance to receive the Vermilion Bird’s approval.

She would never allow anyone to fight her for the Vermilion Bird, not even her biological brother.

Shen Jiawei gritted his teeth and looked at Shen Jiayi. For a long time, he had always obeyed Shen Jiayi’s orders. Firstly, it was because Shen Jiayi was born a few minutes earlier than him and secondly, her strength was slightly more powerful than him. However, that did not mean that he was a brainless idiot, and that was his best opportunity to prove himself. Since Shen Jiayi had suppressed him for the longest time, how could he not wish to change his situation?

Therefore, he decided to gather his courage to go against his sister for the first time in his life.

“Sister, you’re a woman, and you will have to marry in the future. The Vermilion Bird Family needs a man to inherit it!” He was not ready to step back! He knew that the one who could get close to the Vermilion Bird was the one who would most likely, sign a contract with it in that present situation!

Shen Jiayi looked at her brother with a cold expression.

“Jiawei, you’re getting more courageous, and you even dare to disobey me!”

Just as Shen Jiayi finished her sentences, a fireball shot toward Shen Jiawei. Completely unguarded against the attack, the fireball struck Shen Jiawei and threw him a few meters backward.

“Fool! How dare you compete against me?” Shen Jiayi glanced at Shen Jiawei who had fallen on the ground before she walked toward the Vermilion Bird.

As she stood on one side, Shen Yanxiao was dumbstruck with what the twins did to each other. She saw how ruthless Shen Jiayi was, and the fireball that threw Shen Jiawei backward was the same one that she had intended to use against her. However, no matter how much Shen Jiayi hated her, she did not dare to make the fireball explode on her.

Even though a fireball that was created by a fifth-ranked magician apprentice was not as powerful as one released by a magus, it would still cause significant damage if it struck someone who was unguarded against it. Shen Jiayi seemed to have disregarded their sibling relations and sent an attack toward Shen Jiawei. She had ignored everything that was supposed to be important to her to obtain the Vermilion Bird!

When she saw Shen Jiawei fell to the ground miserably and desperately tried to get up, she felt nothing but pity for him because he had such a ruthless sister.

However…

She also loved the scenes where the two unruly kids fought against each other!
