Xue Yi chuckled, scratching his head, a look of longing rising in his eyes:
"I really miss Dad... I wonder how he’s doing?"
Xue Ling smiled:
"Of course, he’ll be fine. This ti, the people from the ’Obliteration Sanctum’ are personally leading the team. A Narrative-Level Civilization possesses countless deities. To them, fostering a Kappa Rank is as easy as sending a child to kindergarten."
Xue Yi’s eyes twinkled:
"But Dad is a master’s degree holder. Isn’t saying that belittling his education?"
Xue Ling was taken aback and then laughed and scolded: "You little rascal, I’ll smack you! Don’t run!"
"Heehee, Sis, you can’t catch , you can’t catch ~~~"
Xue Yi made a face, running and jumping through the terminal hall. People seeing this lively little ghost just smiled knowingly.
Xue Yi quickened his pace, rushing into the n’s restroom, hiding behind the door, ready to jump out suddenly to scare his sister.
"Heehee, let’s see if I can scare you, Sister Lingling, make you wet your pants!"
Xue Yi crouched behind the door, covering his mouth, holding his breath, the restroom was empty, and he was all prepared.
"She is already very weary."
At that mont, a serene female voice slowly echoed in his heart.
"... Who’s there?"
Xue Yi turned his head in confusion, only to see a graceful woman in the mirror above the sink, dressed in thin black gauze, and a blue rose growing from her left eye.
This scene was very mysterious, but Xue Yi certainly didn’t feel scared.
On the contrary, the other’s calm deanor and gentle gaze didn’t seem like those of a bad person.
The woman saw him turn his head and smiled slightly, speaking softly:
"Stop fooling around, little sweetie. Hurting those who love you will only bring more hurt upon yourself."
Xue Yi scratched his head, not understanding her aning, but the rose in her eye and her beautiful appearance captivated him. Innocently, he said:
"Hmm, you’re so pretty, elder sister."
"... This is the first ti I’ve heard such a statent."
The woman with the rose in her eye looked slightly surprised, then smiled and said:
"People use various words to describe : dirty, shaless, detestable, absurdly laughable... and you actually think I’m pretty?"
"Because it’s true." Xue Yi stated plainly, "Even if everyone says bad things about you, it doesn’t deny that you’re pretty! You should be more confident, elder sister."
"... I must say, you’re truly adorable."
The woman nodded, her beautiful eyes glistening with unusual brightness, as if tasting the sweetest fruit in the world. Her lips curled into a smile as she slowly raised her hand, saying:
"Co over here, little one, co here."
Usually, Xue Yi was wary of strangers and seldom interacted with them.
But towards this woman, he felt no ill will, confidently walking to the mirror and tiptoeing to climb onto the sink.
The woman gently raised her finger, and Xue Yi’s body imdiately floated up, aligning with her gaze.
It was then that Xue Yi noticed the porcelain-like, flawless skin of the beautiful lady with a rose growing from her eye, devoid of any wrinkles.
’No wonder she looks good, with such finely textured skin!’
Xue Yi thought.
"Beauty, for , sotis doesn’t signify glory but a curse."
The woman spoke softly:
"Since the day I was born from chaos, my excessive delicate grace made my strong peers see as a disgrace. The esteed ones held in contempt and ridiculed my beauty, deeming unfit for important tasks. When I achieved success, people suspected of using shady ans, slandered for attaining it through seduction, and questioned my hard work."
"But regardless of what others say, it doesn’t change the fact that you’re beautiful, elder sister."
Xue Yi naturally concluded:
"In my eyes, beauty is beauty. No matter what is said, I just like beautiful things."
"Hehe, can I take that to an... you like ?"
The woman laughed softly.
"Of course, I really like you, elder sister."
Xue Yi looked at her, joyfully stating:
"My na is Xue Yi; I’m the son of the President of the Snow World Civilization. You can think of as a little prince."
"I have no parents; I was born from the burning chaos and the will of the Starry Abyss. I have been sent to the most dangerous places countless tis... I also have no family; I initially didn’t even have a na."
The woman gazed affectionately at him, saying:
"But now, people have given a new title."
She extended her hand, gently embracing Xue Yi through the mirror.
"Lievice."
Lievice lowered her head, her porcelain skin intimately touching his, her cold lips whispering in Xue Yi’s ear:
"You move deeply, child. From the first glance, you caught my attention, and now I understand... everything about you is destined."
"I like you, Xue Yi. You are the only shining light in this vile, degenerate dark Starry Abyss. If you can keep your affection for unwavering for ten years, I will give you all my love."
"Do you agree, Xue Yi? Are you willing to make a contract with ?"
Her voice lingered in Xue Yi’s heart like a brand. Perhaps it was youthful enthusiasm, perhaps it was innocent naivety, but without much thought, Xue Yi agreed:
"I’m willing, Sister Lievice!"
Lievice smiled, releasing her embrace, her form slowly receding into the mirror.
"Sister Lievice, where are you going?"
Xue Yi beca anxious, rushing towards the mirror, only to bump into the glass, one step away yet unattainable.
"I’m not going anywhere, Xue Yi. If you can keep your passionate love for untarnished, my only destination is by your side."
"Sister Lievice, where are you exactly? How should I convey my feelings?"
"I? I’m from the Starry Abyss. From a deeper layer of the Starry Abyss."
Lievice smiled slightly, raising a finger to signal Xue Yi to be quiet:
"You don’t need to rush to prove anything to . Our contract is made. I can forever feel your heart, dear."
Xue Yi wanted to say sothing more, but Lievice’s figure had already disappeared. He stood dazedly at the sink, stepping on the faucet, everything feeling like a dream, incredibly unreal.
"From the Starry Abyss... Doesn’t that an the sa place Dad went?"
Xue Yi murmured.
The next mont, a familiar figure imdiately appeared in the mirror.
"From where?"
Xue Ling crossed her arms, her gaze stern, her tone firm:
"You little rascal, why aren’t you running? Weren’t you so good at running?"
Xue Yi instinctively wanted to retort, but rembering Lievice’s recent advice, he changed his words:
"Sorry, Sister, I caused you trouble. You’ve been busy lately, and I haven’t been concerned about you. I’m truly sorry. I won’t trouble you anymore."
Her brother’s sudden obedience surprised Xue Ling:
"You’re not lying to , are you? Tell , did you cause trouble?"
"Really, no! Sister Lingling, I genuinely think you’ve been working hard lately. Not only dealing with social affairs but also taking around. I’ve been unthoughtful and brought you inconvenience."
Xue Yi said earnestly.
"... Well, it’s not such a big deal."
Xue Ling felt a warmth in her heart, picking him up from the sink and patting his butt:
"Let’s go, we’re eting Mr. Disweil. He’s a quirky fellow; without an appointnt, it’s hard to see him! You must be polite, don’t ntion the word ’old’ in front of him, and since he has mobility issues, don’t make him walk back and forth. Understand?"
Knock knock knock ————
Li Aozi knocked on the door roughly. Without waiting for the chanical butler to inquire, he put one hand on his hip and casually said:
"It’s , Leoz, you old undead Disweil. Hurry down and open the door!"
