Forced to become a pure and innocent female pharmacist in order to cultivate immortality.

Although it's not unusual for men to have multiple wives and concubines in this world, Ye Liuyun would definitely not accept it.

"This?" Nangong Hui didn't know how to put it.

Soon, the banquet ended. After the banquet, Nangong Ba wanted Ye Liuyun to stay somewhere else.

Ye Liuyun and Ye Ninglu rolled their eyes repeatedly, and it was only after Ye Ninglu repeatedly expressed her opinion that Ye Liuyun was finally allowed to leave.

Fortunately, Ye Liuyun told Ye Ninglu about his situation beforehand; otherwise, pretending to be a man all this time would have definitely led to many awkward situations.

A moment later, Ye Ninglu was in the residence of the foreign tribe.

"Liu Yun, I don't think this will work. I still need to talk to your brother-in-law. It's not appropriate for you to keep pretending to be a man. Look at that Nangong Ba, he even wants to drag you to his place. He's driving me crazy." Ye Ninglu said with a frustrated expression.

"Sis, the problem is, it's not appropriate for you to bring me to your place. After all, we're still siblings on the surface. Besides, your reaction just now was a bit too much." Ye Liuyun was both amused and exasperated.

The way Ye Ninglu had tried so hard to prevent Ye Liuyun from having any contact with the men of the Nangong family had left the Nangong family members somewhat puzzled.

They felt something was off. How to describe it? Ye Ninglu was like a mother hen afraid her chicks would be snatched away by an eagle, reacting with extreme vigilance.

"What can I do? I can't just let that idiot Nangong Ba drag you away, can I?" Ye Ninglu was also a bit of a headache.

"Alright, alright, let's not talk about that anymore. I just noticed something. It seems the Nangong family is deliberately trying to match me up with those young girls," Ye Liuyun said with a strange smile.

Ye Ninglu was furious when she saw Ye Liuyun's smirking face.

"You're still laughing? I think you should leave the Nangong family as soon as possible. I'm afraid you'll cause some serious trouble. How am I supposed to explain that to Aoxue?" Ye Ninglu said.

If Ye Liuyun were a man, to be honest, she wouldn't particularly mind if the Nangong family had their outstanding daughter become Ye Liuyun's concubine.

After all, Ye Liuyun is the only son in the Ye family who can carry on the family line, and the more the better. But the problem is, now that everyone knows Ye Liuyun has become a woman, we can't have such thoughts anymore.

"Oh? You're kicking me out already?" Ye Liuyun said with a mournful face.

"I don't want to either, but the problem is, you see, the longer you stay, the more trouble you'll cause." Ye Ninglu naturally couldn't bear to part with her former younger brother.

At the same time, I was looking at Nangong Zheng.

Nangong Lingtian and Nangong Hui are both here.

"Hui'er, what's wrong with Ninglu? Can't she see that our Nangong family intends to strengthen ties with their Ye family through marriage? Why is she constantly obstructing our arrangements? Her reaction is a bit abnormal," Nangong Zheng said.

“This? Grandpa, we can’t make this decision on our own. We should at least inform Ninglu beforehand. It’s not appropriate to send a group of women to approach Liuyun without any prior notice,” Nangong Hui said.

Upon hearing this, Nangong Lingtian spoke up.

“It wasn’t your grandfather who arranged it, it was your mother. If you have to blame someone for this, blame me for not telling you beforehand. But you should know that this is a good thing. Ninglu only has one younger brother, which means the Ye family only has one heir.”

"As for Lin Aoxue from the Lin family, she has already reached the Fourth Extreme Secret Realm. It is almost impossible for her to have offspring. So, in order to continue the Ye family's lineage, isn't it something to be happy about to arrange more women for Ye Liuyun?"

"Oh, of course, don't worry, Aoxue's position as the principal wife is definitely unshakeable," Nangong Lingtian said.

The Nangong family has its own ulterior motives. From their perspective, what they are doing is only beneficial and has no drawbacks. They just don't know that Ye Liuyun is a woman.

“That’s not what I’m struggling with. It’s something else. You see, just now, that kid Nangong Ba wanted Ye to stay with him, and Ninglu reacted very strongly, as if she was afraid Ye Liuyun would be bullied. But this Ye kid is very strong. Ba’er probably wouldn’t be a match for him. So what is she worried about? Wouldn’t it be a good thing to let the Ye family’s offspring and our Nangong family’s offspring get along and interact?” Nangong Zheng raised an even stranger question.

Those who made their fortunes through business are far more perceptive than ordinary cultivators. They will ponder even the slightest abnormality and try to figure out why.

“This? Could it be that Ninglu is afraid that her second brother’s reckless and belligerent nature will anger Liuyun? You know, tonight, when her third brother challenged Liuyun, Ninglu was already unhappy. She only refrained from doing so because you were there. Could she think that our Nangong family is trying to bully Liuyun?” Nangong Hui offered an explanation.

This explanation was perfect, and it immediately dispelled Nangong Zheng's doubts.

“Eh? That makes sense, that’s right. They’re guests, and it’s only their first day here. It’s really inappropriate for us to be so enthusiastic.” Nangong Lingtian also said.

Nangong Zheng also thought it made sense.

“That’s true, let’s take it slow then. Anyway, this kid shouldn’t leave right away. Let’s keep her here a few more days and cultivate her relationship with our Nangong family’s younger generation.” Nangong Zheng stroked his beard and smiled.

Looking over at Ye Liuyun's side, the two siblings sat in the courtyard, sighing repeatedly.

"Ugh! This is so annoying," Ye Ninglu said.

However, Ye Liuyun was actually quite indifferent.

"Sister, if you don't mind, I can go back to being a woman. Anyway, the Nangong family must know about the gender reversal back then. Even if it's awkward, it'll only be awkward for a moment," Ye Liuyun said.

But Ye Ninglu doesn't think so.

“I don’t think so. If they knew you were a woman, they would probably be even more excited. Aren’t you afraid they’ll try to shove men in front of you?” Ye Ninglu retorted.

But Ye Liuyun thought it was unlikely.

"How could that be? Once they find out I used to be a man, they'll be too busy looking down on me to even think of that. I'm a man, I understand men's minds," Ye Liuyun said confidently.

From a man's perspective, if he knew that a beautiful woman was previously a man, he would definitely feel uncomfortable about it.

"Yes, you understand men's minds, but you don't understand businessmen's minds. Don't forget, the Nangong family is based on business. They value the result and don't care about the process."

"Let me give you an example. Even if you tell them that you used to be a man and don't like men, believe it or not, they will still try to force women on you, or they will try to make you like men. There will always be a possibility." Ye Ninglu has been in the Nangong family for decades and knows the thoughts of these people in the Nangong family better than anyone else.

"Well, this won't work, that won't work, then there's nothing I can do." Ye Liuyun spread his hands, indicating that he had no other options.

Just as the two were getting annoyed, Nangong Hui returned. As soon as he came back, he saw his wife and brother-in-law sitting in the yard, looking very agitated, so he quickly asked them what was wrong.

"What's wrong? Did the banquet upset you? Oh dear, Liuyun, it's my fault. I oversimplified things. I'm sorry, I apologize." Nangong Hui apologized as soon as he came in.

Ye Ninglu was already very irritable, and she suddenly slammed her hand on the table and stood up.

"Hey Nangong Hui, can you control your two younger brothers? One is adorably naive, and the other is ridiculously reckless. What do you mean by that? My brothers are here as guests, not to cause trouble," Ye Ninglu angrily questioned.

Ye Ninglu's outburst startled Ye Liuyun, who was sitting to the side, and he instinctively stood up.

"Huh? Is it that serious? Isn't that just a joke? Hehe, Liuyun, don't you think it's that serious?" Nangong Hui quickly looked at Ye Liuyun.

Ye Liuyun, naturally, didn't want to see his sister and brother-in-law arguing, so he awkwardly said...

"Yes, big sister, it was just a joke, it's okay, I'll be careful."

However, Ye Ninglu immediately glared at Ye Liuyun.

"Shut up! Did I tell you to speak?"

Ye Liuyun was speechless at Ye Ninglu's words. She weakly said "Oh" and then fell silent.

To be honest, among all the Ye family members, Ye Liuyun was most afraid of her older sister. The only beating she ever received in this world came from Ye Ninglu.

When she was five or six years old, during the New Year, she, Lin Aoxue, and Ye Ningxue sneaked out late at night and mingled with other children in Qixia Town, setting off fireworks.

But by accident, he set someone else's roof on fire, because someone's roof was thatched.

Although nothing serious happened, when she got home, she and Ye Ningxue got a beating.

Ye Liuyun was alright and managed to endure it, but Ye Ningxue was beaten so badly she cried out for her parents.

Ye Liuyun remembers this incident vividly.

This is normal. There are some things that parents can't do themselves, so Ye Ninglu has to step in and discipline her younger brother and sister.

After telling Ye Liuyun to shut up, Ye Ningshuang started complaining about Nangong Hui.

"Nangong Hui, you think this isn't serious? Think about it carefully. Your Nangong family wants to force a woman onto my brother, but have you considered what kind of person my sister-in-law is? Can she accept this?"

"Furthermore, did you give me any advance notice? Did you consider my brother's feelings? And your second brother, all he does is stir up trouble. Didn't you see how unpleasant your father and grandfather's expressions were after my brother punched your brother away today?"

"You didn't think about anything, and you're right here saying it's nothing, not that serious? What if something really happens? For example, what if my brother hurts your brother, or your brother hurts my brother?" Ye Ninglu asked a series of questions.

Since she couldn't vent her anger on her in-laws, she could only vent it on her husband.

Ye Ninglu's words were sharp and reasonable, leaving Nangong Hui speechless.

"This is my oversight. Don't worry, I'll go find the second and third brothers and tell them to take it easy." Nangong Hui said, and was about to go and cause trouble for his two brothers.

But Ye Ninglu stopped her again.

“Come back. If you go looking for trouble now, they’ll definitely know it’s me causing you trouble. Then I’ll be caught in the middle.” Ye Ninglu took a deep breath and suppressed her anger.

She hadn't been this angry in years. That's how people are; concern makes them lose their temper. If Ye Liuyun weren't around, she probably wouldn't get angry so easily in her entire life.

After Ye Ninglu calmed down, Nangong Hui sat down in front of her with a smile, and then asked seriously.

"Madam, what exactly happened? Knowing you as I do, you're definitely not angry about this. There must be another reason, right? Don't worry, I'll always be on your side."

He and Ye Ninglu have been married for over a hundred years, so he must know Ye Ninglu very well.

Upon hearing this, Ye Ninglu was about to speak, but when she saw Ye Liuyun standing to the side, she couldn't say anything.

Ye Liuyun could also see that her sister was in a difficult position. After thinking it over, she felt that for the Nangong family to handle this matter, someone needed to know her true gender.

Otherwise, as Ye Ninglu said, it would be better for her to leave the Nangong family as soon as possible.

"Sister, why don't you talk to your brother-in-law? If he can help, everything will be much easier," Ye Liuyun said helplessly.

Upon hearing this, Ye Ninglu glanced at Ye Liuyun and then at Nangong Hui.

After weighing the pros and cons for a while, he stood up.

“That’s true. You, come inside with me. I have something to tell you.” Ye Ninglu reached out and grabbed Nangong Hui, pulling him into the house.

After they went inside, Ye Liuyun sighed with some annoyance.

"It's just a gender, is it really that big of a deal?" Ye Liuyun complained.

To be honest, if it weren't for the trouble, Ye Liuyun would actually prefer to appear as a woman now. But walking around in a woman's image would definitely attract trouble.

Of course, if Ye Liuyun wanted to make himself look ugly, that would be fine, but to be honest, Ye Liuyun cannot accept using the method of making himself ugly to avoid trouble.

Because her aesthetic sense has been completely fixed.

Time passed slowly, about half an hour later.

The door to Ye Ninglu and Nangong Hui's residence was opened.

After the door opened, Nangong Hui, with a strange expression on his face, returned to Ye Liuyun's side with Ye Ninglu.

However, the way Nangong Hui looked at Ye Liuyun had changed; it was completely different from before.

If he used to treat Ye Liuyun as a brother, now it feels very awkward.

The look in his eyes was as if he were looking at Ye Liuyun from head to toe, as if he were looking at something interesting, which made Ye Liuyun feel a little uncomfortable.

"Hey? I mean, brother-in-law, can you please stop looking at me like that? You must already know what happened to me. This is the truth, not a joke or something." Ye Liuyun felt a chill run down his spine under Nangong Hui's scrutinizing gaze.

But as he was talking, Nangong Hui's serious expression suddenly broke down, and he pointed at Ye Liuyun and burst into laughter.

"Oh my, haha, you little rascal, you've finally met your match! No, no, I can't hold back anymore. How unlucky you are to have such a misfortune befall you, hahaha..." Nangong Hui burst into laughter.

Seeing her husband's reaction, Ye Ninglu wanted to scold him, but she didn't know what to say.

Ye Liuyun rolled her eyes at Nangong Hui's unrestrained smile.

"What's so funny? I'm just one of those unlucky souls. I heard from my sister that you two also underwent gender reassignment surgery, so you should be able to understand me, right?" Ye Liuyun said unhappily.

However, Ye Liuyun's words were just a lie. This gender reassignment issue was clearly caused by her. She was the instigator, not the victim.

Nangong Hui, who had been laughing heartily, was speechless upon hearing this.

That incident was a dark chapter in his history, and he didn't really want to recall it.

"Ahem, well, I just think it's a bit too outrageous. Actually, what happened back then was an extremely outrageous and unbelievable thing. I know about your situation, and I'll help you resolve some unnecessary troubles." Nangong Hui smiled, but he still wanted to help deal with this matter.

"It's good that you understand. The reason I told you this is because I didn't want to be misunderstood," Ye Liuyun explained.

Nangong Hui nodded. Indeed, the things that had puzzled him before were now cleared up.

"Ahem, by the way, do you dare to let me see what you look like after you turn into a woman?" Nangong Hui demanded.

Upon hearing this, Ye Liuyun immediately narrowed his eyes.

"Hmm? What? You don't have any evil thoughts, do you? Let me tell you, brother-in-law, although we've become women, we were men before, and we understand men's minds very well," Ye Liuyun kindly reminded him.

Nangong Hui immediately rolled his eyes.

“Hey! As the eldest brother-in-law, now that you know your brother-in-law has become your sister-in-law, you should definitely find out what your sister-in-law looks like, right? Isn’t that a reasonable request? What are you thinking?” Nangong Hui retorted.

Seeing Nangong Hui's tense expression, Ye Liuyun immediately chuckled.

"Just kidding, come on, let's go inside and take a look," Ye Liuyun joked.

And so, the three of them went into the house. Once inside, Lin Qingyou sealed off the surrounding area to prevent anyone from investigating.

Once everything was ready, Ye Liuyun removed her disguise and reverted to her female form.

"Alright, so, brother-in-law, how similar do you think my eldest sister and I are?" Ye Liuyun asked with a smile, putting his arm around Ye Ninglu's shoulder after transforming back.

However, Nangong Hui's reaction was not as strong as Ye Liuyun had expected.
