Beloved Sisters
It was the second afternoon since Tang Ga-hui had begun tending to Tang Hwi. Aside from the ordeal of swallowing his semen first thing in the morning, nothing particularly unusual had occurred. Furthermore, when she checked his pulse and examined his acupoints, Tang Hwi's condition seemed much better than expected. Seeing his unexpectedly rapid recovery brought a wave of relief over Ga-hui. Since this whole situation was the result of her own mistake, seeing him recover so well filled her with immense joy.
Bringing in a wheeled chair—apparently crafted by a medical clinic for patients unable to walk—Ga-hui suggested with a bright smile, "Hwi, let's go for a walk in the garden today."
"A walk? Sounds like a hassle."
"Now, now. If a person stays cooped up in their room all day, their mind will grow sick. We can't have that."
"...Okay."
For a split second, Tang Hwi was tempted to drop his act and blurt out, 'Sister, you're a shut-in yourself.' It really wasn't a line Tang Ga-hui had any right to say.
"Up we go." Ga-hui carefully lifted the immobile Tang Hwi and settled him into the wheeled chair. To ensure his comfort, she placed a cushion behind his back so he could recline slightly, and gently rested his forearms on the armrests to ease his posture. It was absolute, devoted care.
Once Tang Hwi was secured in the chair, she began to push. Perhaps because it was made of high-quality materials, the wheels rolled smoothly. As they stepped out into the garden of the Patriarch's Pavilion, brilliant sunshine welcomed the siblings. The lush green hues of the garden, bathed in a refreshing spring breeze and warm sunlight, naturally warmed the heart of anyone who looked upon it.
As Ga-hui pushed the chair, she looked down at the crown of Tang Hwi's head. Realizing she found even the top of her little brother's head adorable, she shook her thoughts away and asked, "Look, Hwi. Doesn't getting some fresh air and sunshine make you feel much better?"
"...I guess?" Unable to bring himself to ask if she had lost her mind, that was the best response Tang Hwi could muster.
"I told you so. By the way, do you remember? We used to play here so much when we were little."
"Ah, I remember that. When Ga-in tripped and started bawling, you and I comforted her." Actually, I think that was when I started teasing her for being a crybaby.
"Hehehe, yes, that did happen."
"And then I fell into the pond and got soaking wet. Ah, is that pond still there?"
"Of course it is. Shall I take you there?"
"Yes!"
Pushing the chair, Ga-hui guided him across the garden. Following the path, they arrived at the pond in no time. The very pond that had once left him dripping wet and stripped of his clothes was now home to several koi fish. Stopping the wheelchair in front of the water, Ga-hui picked up a small container resting on one of the rocks surrounding the pond.
"Wow! The fish food is still here."
"Since we always insisted on feeding them, the servants kept refilling it periodically. Fufu. And you fell in because you reached out to catch one of the koi while feeding them."
"N-No, I didn't! I just slipped...!"
"If you say so. Fufu."
"...This is kind of annoying."
As if sulking, his cheeks puffed up like a blowfish, and his lips pouted. This simple, childish reaction brought back a flood of old memories, leaving Ga-hui with a bittersweet yet heartwarming feeling. Why hadn't she realized sooner that her little brother used to be such an adorable child? Things she had overlooked as they grew up together and became adults were now striking her anew. Seeing that once-innocent boy now grown so strong that his muscles were visible even through his robes made her deeply feel the passage of time.
A bitter smile touched her lips. Ever since her face had been scarred by a Heart Demon, negative thoughts had a habit of creeping in first. Perhaps that was why she constantly worried about their relationship deteriorating, fearing that even Tang Hwi might eventually turn his back on her.
"Hmph! I'm going to become a master like Mother, so there's no way I fell in just because I couldn't catch a fish!"
"Fufu. And is it any more believable for a master to slip on a rock?"
"..."
The more they talked, the more she enjoyed teasing him. Dealing with someone who wore his heart on his sleeve, completely devoid of complex logic or hidden motives, was incredibly comforting. Pushing the wheelchair next to a flat rock suitable for sitting, Ga-hui sat down and gently took Tang Hwi's hand.
"Hwi."
"Yeah? What is it?"
"What would you do if you realized you had no talent for martial arts, even after learning them?"
"...Am I... a dunce?" Ga-hui didn't say a word in response to Tang Hwi's question. But her silence was answer enough. Understanding her meaning, Tang Hwi's brow furrowed in distress, and a troubled look washed over his face.
She wondered if she shouldn't have asked, but she felt that if she didn't ask now, she might never understand why Tang Hwi had grown so twisted as he aged. Even if it was a sensitive topic, Ga-hui desperately wanted to know. If she could understand his heart, she was fully prepared to persuade him, suggest an alternative path, and support him with everything she had.
Though he had matured just before losing his memories, that was personal growth, not growth as a martial artist. If he still insisted on pursuing the path of martial arts despite lacking talent, that was one thing. But if he was only forcing himself down this path because he was born into a martial clan, shouldn't she, as his family, stop him? He may be young... but Hwi is still a child of a martial clan. He must understand what my words imply. What choice would this adorable little brother make—the one who loved his older sister so much that he had even asked her to marry him?
After a long silence in the quiet garden, Tang Hwi finally spoke. "It would be hard and frustrating. I'd probably blame others, complaining about why I take after Father instead of Mother. I'm... not strong like you, Sister, and I don't have a resilient heart like Ga-in. I'd probably spend my whole life acting like a pathetic loser, blaming everyone else because I can't bring myself to give up on martial arts."
"That's not true." Leaning over the armrest, Ga-hui suddenly pulled Tang Hwi into a tight embrace. "I know exactly how kind-hearted you are, Hwi." After maturing, he had apologized and tried his best to mend their relationship. "People can make wrong choices in life and stray down the wrong path." All that mattered was doing better next time. And Tang Hwi had already proven he could do that. "So you don't need to think so lowly of yourself, Hwi. You are already a wonderful brother to me, and a good brother to Ga-in."
"Am I... really a good brother?"
"Yes. So you can put your mind at ease. Whether your memories return or not... you are a brother far better than I deserve."
"...Okay."
Still held in her arms, Tang Hwi suddenly lowered his head and buried his face deep into Ga-hui's breasts. Having a grown man press his face against her chest startled her for a moment, but she quickly chalked it up to a child's spoiled behavior and held him tenderly. Perhaps because he could only move his head, Tang Hwi nuzzled deeper into her cleavage, shaking his head side to side as he rubbed against her breasts. The act felt strangely erotic, causing a flush of embarrassment to rise on Ga-hui's cheeks. But as she finally pulled back to end the embrace—
"S-Sister..." Tang Hwi looked up at her, fidgeting with a gaze that mixed shame and anticipation. And down below, his lower half was prominently bulging. It was time for his treatment again.
It was a phenomenon that defied her common sense, but instinctively, she knew it was thanks to Tang Hwi. After all, her stagnant poison arts had suddenly advanced to near-mastery through their physical harmony, and she had felt as if Tang Hwi was right beside her, encouraging her the entire time.
"Phew..." Once she was certain she had shattered the barrier and reached the Super-Peak Realm, Tang Ga-in uncrossed her legs and collapsed her sweat-drenched body onto the bed. Though exhausted, a natural smile spread across her lips. "Hehe. This feels amazing~!"
She had reached the Super-Peak Realm, a height achieved by only three of the Nine Dragons and Six Phoenixes. The thought of having surpassed Tang Ga-hui, who was still in the Peak Realm, kept her grinning ear to ear. For some reason, this victory over her sister made her feel as though she had claimed Tang Hwi all for herself.
She had returned to her room after thoroughly milking Tang Hwi dry, and when she began reciting her cultivation mantra to settle a strange sensation inside her, she had suddenly broken through. It truly felt like his doing. Perhaps because she was in such high spirits, or because her breakthrough had completely washed away her fatigue, Tang Ga-in felt a surge of boundless energy. She decided to head back to Tang Hwi's room. It was technically Ga-hui's turn to look after him, but there was no reason they couldn't both be there.
How should I surprise Sister and Hwi to make the biggest impact? Unable to contain her excitement, she skipped toward Tang Hwi's room with light, airy steps. Suddenly, she froze. A scene she happened to witness along the way made her stop dead in her tracks, turning her as rigid as a stone statue.
Right there, wet, sloppy sounds echoed. Slurp, slurp. "Suck... schlick, slurp!" There was Tang Ga-hui, enthusiastically pleasuring Tang Hwi's cock with both her mouth and her massive breasts. The light completely vanished from Tang Ga-in's eyes.
