Another Mother?

Looking to the right, he then turned his gaze towards the Yan family’s three sisters standing beside them.

“Who is this? How did a woman suddenly appear in the pit, and she looks so much like Big Sister and the others?” Yan Kun wondered, a puzzled expression on his face.

The sudden appearance of this woman immediately overshadowed their previous grief.

The purple-robed woman, who had just opened her eyes, spoke after seeing so many people gathered around her.

“Why are you all staring at me like this? Are you alright?”

Her voice carried an indescribable warmth, but after speaking, her expression subtly shifted. Instinctively, she raised a hand to touch her throat.

“Cough, cough! What’s going on? My voice? First Madam, Kun’er, what’s happened to me? Why are you all looking at me with such expressions?” the purple-robed woman questioned again.

The Yan family members, along with the Jiang family onlookers, became even more bewildered upon hearing her question.

Only a select few within the entire Yan family would address Yan Kun and the others with such familiarity.

First Madam stared at the purple-robed woman for a long time before a sudden realization dawned upon her.

“You… it can’t be, can it? You… are you my husband?” First Madam rushed to the purple-robed woman’s side, extending a hand to help her up.

The purple-robed woman immediately shot First Madam an exasperated look.

“If not me, then who else? The incident happened so suddenly; I didn’t even have time to speak before the explosion’s energy swallowed me, and I fell unconscious,” the purple-robed woman explained.

But as she sat up, she instantly realized something was profoundly wrong with her.

Leaving aside everything else, her full bosom alone left her utterly dumbfounded. Instinctively, she raised a hand and touched it.

“Ah!” A startled cry escaped the purple-robed woman’s lips at the touch.

“This… what’s happening? Is this my body? First Madam, Kun’er, Xia’er, Little Seven… me?” the purple-robed woman urgently questioned everyone.

Yan Yun and the others finally understood what was going on. This woman was Yan Long.

“Father?” Yan Kun and the others widened their eyes, their faces etched with disbelief.

Yan Yun, utterly astonished, looked towards Jiang Yao beside her, and then to Su Muyu, who remained in a state of bewilderment.

Even Fairy Yunxia and the others were profoundly surprised and incredulous.

In their perception, the purple-robed woman had appeared as if in the blink of an eye.

Yan Long had just vanished, and now this woman had appeared; it was far too suspicious.

‘Wife, what… what happened? Can you… can you tell?’ Yan Yun asked Jiang Yao blankly.

‘Don’t ask me. I… I don’t know anything. But one thing is certain: this woman before us must be your father,’ Jiang Yao replied.

As Yan Long gradually regained her senses and finally realized the gravity of the situation, a shrill cry of alarm rang out.

‘What in the world happened? How did I turn into a woman?’

Unfortunately, no one could answer her question; it all seemed like a dream.

The enemies had retreated, and Yan Long had inexplicably resurrected, even in a different body. Such an utterly bizarre event had unfolded right before their eyes.

After confirming that the person before them was Yan Long, they immediately took her to her residence. They also asked Fairy Yunxia, the most powerful cultivator among them, to help examine Yan Long’s current body.

The final result was that this body had no flaws whatsoever. On the contrary, they discovered that Yan Long now possessed a rare Profound Yin physique, and her original inferior fire spirit root had transformed into a pure water spirit root. Her cultivation aptitude could be described as heaven-defying.

If Fairy Yunxia hadn’t known that the person before her was Yan Long, she might have once again entertained the thought of taking a disciple. If she were to actually take her as a disciple, things would become quite amusing.

Soon, Fairy Yunxia emerged from the room.

“Senior, how is it? My… my husband, is he…?”

First Madam, along with the others, quickly gathered around, their faces filled with anxious concern.

Fairy Yunxia merely shook her head.

“It’s incredible. Neither her soul nor her physical body shows any issues. It’s as if she were always a woman. But we just saw his body blown to smithereens. Why did Yan Long reappear as a woman after being annihilated?”

This was a question on everyone’s mind.

“No issues? This… how is this possible?” First Madam asked in shock.

After a moment of thought, Fairy Yunxia offered a bold conjecture.

“I believe a powerful expert secretly used great divine abilities to save Family Head Yan, but the cost is that he can no longer live under his original identity. This is the only explanation.”

If even Fairy Yunxia couldn’t explain it clearly, then there was no point in them pondering further. They could only rush into the room.

“Husband, how do you feel? Are you alright? Are you uncomfortable anywhere?” several women immediately showered her with concerned inquiries.

Yan Long, meanwhile, lay on the bed, staring blankly. Hearing the incessant chatter around her, her already irritable mood grew even more agitated.

“You lot, I’m not dead, am I? Leave me alone to be quiet. All of you, get out.”

Yan Long waved her hand at First Madam and the others, clearly vexed.

Outside the room, Yan Yun stood beside Su Muyu.

“Mother, this… how are you doing? Why aren’t you reacting at all?” Yan Yun asked.

Su Muyu’s mood was incredibly complex at this moment.

“React? What reaction could I possibly have? My mind is a mess, my feelings are complicated. My son inexplicably turned into a daughter, and now, my husband has inexplicably turned into a woman. What is happening to our family?”

This statement made Yan Yun incredibly awkward.

Although she didn’t have strong feelings for Yan Long, he was still her father, and a familial bond existed. Yet, she didn’t seem to have a strong reaction to her father becoming a woman. On the contrary, a strange sense of satisfaction, or perhaps vengeance, stirred within her.

“Then aren’t you going in to comfort Father?” Yan Yun asked.

Su Muyu rolled her eyes.

“Your father and I had only just begun to mend our relationship a tiny bit. We didn’t even have time to deepen it before he turned into this.”

Yan Yun found it difficult to comment on the matter. As a child, before any significant conflict or animosity between her parents, she certainly couldn’t say anything.

The last time she suggested to Su Muyu that they should separate if things didn’t work out, it was because she wanted to see how her mother truly felt about Yan Long, deliberately provoking her.

From Su Muyu’s reaction, it seemed she herself hoped to try and see if she could deepen her relationship with Yan Long. After all, he was the first man in her life, and Yan Yun’s father.

This world was not Earth; women’s thoughts and perceptions were still quite conservative and traditional.

“It’s over, it’s over! Little Brother turned into a woman, and now Father has also turned into a woman! Brother, tell me, will we two also turn into women soon? It’s over! Our Yan family is going to become a kingdom of women!”

Just then, Yan Kun’s voice suddenly rang out. He clutched his head, looking as if the sky were about to fall.

This startled Yan Hui, who swallowed hard and instinctively said, “I… I think it’s best if I quickly find a wife.”

“Right, right, right! Big Brother, you’ve reminded me! Mother, quickly find suitable partners for me and Big Brother! I want to get married, otherwise, our Yan family will have no descendants!” Yan Kun wailed at his mother.

His cry terrified the other young men of the Yan family, for what had happened to Yan Long was truly too bizarre, so bizarre it felt like a curse. After all, the Yan family already had two examples; there was no telling if this was just the beginning.

“Big Sister, is this even possible?” Yan Ning whispered to Yan Xia.

But who could truly explain such a question?

“Second Brother, don’t be crazy. If you turned into a woman, you’d most likely be an ugly hag. Heaven wouldn’t grant you that,” Yan Yun said sarcastically.

This statement immediately riled Yan Kun, who instantly teleported before her.

“Father, with his burly build, could transform into this beautiful woman; how do you know I’d be an ugly hag if I became a woman?”

Yan Kun retorted, annoyed.

Yan Yun chuckled.

“Oh? Second Brother, judging by your excited reaction, do you actually want to change your gender?”

Yan Kun immediately shook his head and waved his hands dismissively.

“Get lost, get lost! I have no interest in such things! A man turning into a woman, just thinking about it makes me sick! And yes, I’m talking about you! You were always so effeminate as a child, and now you’ve really become a woman. It seems even Heaven wants you to be a woman!” Yan Kun’s venomous tongue began to lash out again.

“You? Yan the Second, do you think I’m still the same as I was back then? Do you believe I’ll let you taste the power of my poison cultivation technique?” Yan Yun raised her hand, purple energy swirling around it, glaring fiercely at Yan Kun.

But Yan Kun remained unfazed, like a dead pig unafraid of boiling water.

“Go on, then! No matter what, I’m still your brother. Wouldn’t your conscience ache if you used poison on your own elder brother?”

Seeing Yan Kun’s impudent demeanor, Yan Yun couldn’t help but feel utterly infuriated.

“I… I curse you to turn into a woman sooner or later, and preferably an ugly hag!” Yan Yun plumped herself down, too annoyed to deal with Yan Kun.

Jiang Yao, observing the two of them from the side, couldn’t help but shake her head.

“Alas! The two of them, combined, are surely no more than twenty years old. To still have the energy to bicker at a time like this.”

Time slowly passed, and soon it was evening.

Yan Long’s mental adjustment was remarkably swift. That evening, she called all the key family members together.

However, everyone felt an undeniable awkwardness looking at Yan Long now.

“Father, you… you, are you alright?” Yan Hui asked, a customary question, looking at the dejected Yan Long.

Yan Long immediately shot her eldest son a dismissive glare.

“Do I look like I’m alright?”

Yan Hui was instantly speechless.

She then swept her gaze over the others, especially Yan Yun and Su Muyu, whose faces were filled with immense embarrassment.

“Cough, cough. With such strange things happening to me, it will certainly be impossible for me to oversee family affairs in the future. After discussions with my father and the elders, the family will now be managed by Hui’er.”

This announcement startled Yan Hui.

“Ah? I… Father, I…”

“‘I’ what? Your father is like this now; I can only rely on you. From now on, consider it as if I died today. There will be no more Yan Long in the Yan family,” Yan Long said irritably.

In her current state, she truly felt she had no face to show anyone.
