Chapter 479: Sisters

At night, in the new imperial capital.

“Hmm?” Evie turned her head to look at her younger sister.

In the expansive lobby of the inn, Kaluoer softly patted her older sister’s back and inquired if she wanted to rest.

Evie, being exceptional, possessed a body that differed from that of ordinary individuals. Nevertheless, she had not yet arrived at a stage where sleep was unnecessary.

In the present-day, Evie sat on the chair, looking very tired. Her eyes were even having trouble staying open. Kaluoer clearly noticed this.

The new imperial capital is presently in turmoil. The abrupt downfall of this vibrant city overnight has left the people in shock. Following the emperor’s directives, the council quickly coordinated relief efforts to restore temporary order.

As the three “culprits” found themselves at a hotel on the outskirts of the new imperial capital.

This hotel was fortunate to have avoided Vanity’s destructive assault.

Evie took her little sister Kaluoer’s cold and delicate hand, smiling as she said, “Let’s sleep in the same bed tonight, Kaluoer. ”

“But there will be two beds in the room,” Kaluoer said, her expression blank.

“Um, it’s been a while since we slept together like this, didn’t we just take a bath together?” Evie continued persistently.

“But I don’t need to sleep now.”

Kaluoer slightly tilted her head, her expression neutral as she looked at the person before her, who was smiling playfully.

“Are you trying to trick me? ” Evie huffed, pinching her sister’s cheeks and exclaimed, “Do you think I don’t realize you’re secretly enjoying this? Even though you’re pretending to be emotionless, I can still sense your true feelings. ”

“I know I’ve made a mistake, sniff.” Kaluoer, who was being squeezed, made a declaration of apology.

“Even though you don’t need to sleep right now, it doesn’t mean you can’t fall asleep. Come, let’s sleep together!”

“Okay,” he replied.

In Kaluoer’s gentle tone, there was also a hint of “reluctance,” “being in… tensed into some kind of awkward position,” and “this guy is acting weirdly. ”

Bai Yan sat quietly nearby, seemingly invisible and unable to participate in the discussion.

“I will step outside to assess the situation. ”

After taking a bath together, the two sisters, who hadn’t done so in a long time, lay down together.

Kaluoer turned her body away from her sister, but Evie turned her around forcefully, making them face each other. Kaluoer tried to turn away again, but Evie once again turned her back towards her.

“…”

Kaluoer could only gaze blankly at her sister, who was smiling warmly.

In the quiet of the night, it was the perfect time for whispering secrets.

Evie’s expression turned shy, and she spoke in a subtle tone, saying,

“Kaluoer, there is something very important that I need to discuss with you. It’s about that man, Edmond…”

She paused for a moment, then continued, “Kaluoer, I know. You have returned to your previous self. Although you don’t talk much on the surface, deep down, you have more thoughts than I do.”

Kaluoer, who remained silent, tilted her head slightly, still wearing an indifferent expression.

“Um.”

That night, the two of them chatted for a long time. At first, they were a bit hesitant to open up, but later on, they talked about things that couldn’t be written down and became very excited.

Evie couldn’t help but toss and turn in bed, hugging her pillow tightly.

In the end, they couldn’t help but talk about various things from their childhood. They remembered their deceased biological parents, and Evie became increasingly sad, to the point where she couldn’t hold back her tears and began to cry.

Kaluoer had an expressionless face.

After Evie cried herself to sleep, Kaluoer also drifted off into a long-awaited slumber.

Although she no longer needed sleep.

But that doesn’t mean she can’t dream.

Rather, for most actively trained superhumans, dreaming serves as the foundation for many rituals. They can do it effortlessly if they desire, but even if they can’t, they train themselves to be able to do so.

Dreams have always been a crucial and mysterious element.

It is filled with thrilling dangers and inexplicable strangeness.

It was fearsome.

Meanwhile, dreams represented the lingering obsessions of the past, reminiscing in the depths of the soul.

Something that people longed for.

In the dream, Kaluoer opened her eyes.

She saw her childhood home, the shop her parents ran together, and on the stone path not far from the shop, her younger self was playing with her sister, chasing ants.

Back then, Kaluoer would still laugh, and she laughed very happily.

This was a lucid dream.

The soul is so powerful, reaching the level of the “Creation Realm,” that it will never lose itself in dreams, unless by special means. Beings of this realm can only exist in lucid dreams.

Kaluoer gazed at her younger self.

—

The weather was overcast, and few people were present on the stone pathway. The family’s business was struggling.

Nonetheless, this did not impact the two sisters playing here in the least.

“Sister, sister, save me!”

Young Kaluoer had a terrified expression on her face. She closed her eyes, turned her head, and dared not look at the ant crawling onto the back of her hand.

“Hmph! Go away!”

Young Evie extended her finger and flicked it decisively, propelling the ant that was harassing her younger sister away.

“Phew, sister, you’re so kind, you saved me again.”

Kaluoer let out a sigh of relief, her face filled with a smile as she gently held her sister’s hand.

“Big sister is really kind. As long as Kaluoer has her big sister by her side, she’s not afraid of anything.”

Upon hearing this, Evie immediately puffed out her chest and confidently declared, “Don’t worry! I will protect you, Kaluoer! Whether it’s ants or crickets, I will defeat them all!”

“Hehe, sister is so childish.”

Kaluoer smiled warmly, seemingly pretending to be scared just moments ago.

Evie scratched her face, unsure of Kaluoer’s thoughts or whether she was truly frightened at that moment or merely feigning it.

However, she didn’t care!

As the elder sister, my primary responsibility was to safeguard my younger sister. During that period, the two of them shared a strong bond.

They were even inseparable, like shadows.

“Sister, I want to go to the bathroom, but it’s very dark outside. Can you come with me?”

“Sister, this chicken leg looks very delicious. Let’s share it, each of us gets half!”

“Sister is really nice to me…”

“Kaluoer, I feel dizzy. Maybe I have a little cold. Help me fetch the medicine… Later, I will accompany you to give our parents an umbrella.”

On the occasion of their final shared birthday, the weary parents arranged identical gifts for both children.

While Evie was filled with happiness, Kaluoer’s emotions were not as intense.

For so many years, their gifts had always been completely identical. Kaluoer wanted to say something to her parents, but she couldn’t find the words to say it.

On the evening of their birthday, as sisters, they slept together just like they always did.

Evie happily looked at her little sister on the bed and made a promise.

“Kaluoer, we will always, always be together. As your big sister, I will always protect you in the future. I will never let anyone bully you, and I will make sure you never feel pain or sadness. I will never let you cry or feel hopeless.”

Kaluoer nodded and smiled.

“Um, Kaluoer believes her sister!”

Evie was very happy. She gently stroked her little sister’s cheek and whispered, “Even if we find someone we like in the future, we should always stay together… The person Kaluoer likes, I will like too.”

Kaluoer paused for a moment, pondering silently for a while before speaking.

She hesitated, her expression uncertain, and finally spoke, “But… but what if I don’t like the person my sister likes? I don’t want to marry someone I don’t like… Also, what if the person I like doesn’t actually like my sister?”

Kaluoer rolled her eyes and said, “Hmm, let’s forget about this idea, sister. Let’s be a bit more practical.”

Evie was taken aback, realizing that Kaluoer’s tone was very serious.

The determined look in the girl’s eyes carried a hint of resolution, making her feel uneasy.

Actually, Kaluoer might not want to share everything and every experience with Evie. Suddenly, Evie understood this.

Together they felt it.

This special ability feels like a mission and a blessing within one’s heart.

But perhaps, in her eyes, this was a curse.

Evie sensed Kaluoer’s tension, knowing that she was afraid of making her angry. She smiled and continued, “Don’t worry, I won’t restrain you.”

“Really? You’re not angry?” Kaluoer was surprised to find that her sister wasn’t angry.

Evie continued, “Kaluoer, you’re such a silly girl. How could I be angry?”

“You are my dearest sister. How could I ever force you to accept something you don’t want in your heart?”

Her voice grew soft, and there was even a hint of choking in it.

“When that time comes, if you don’t want to, it’s okay, even if you want me to disappear, I will agree.”

“Really? Sister! That’s wonderful! I always knew you cared for me the most!”

Kaluoer’s eyes lit up, even though she sensed her sister’s sadness, she couldn’t contain her joyful excitement.

Evie, who was originally feeling sad, felt her sister’s joy.

She couldn’t help it and, unexpectedly, started feeling happy too.

—

“Sister.”

Kaluoer woke up from her dream and suddenly tightened her grip on Evie’s hand.

“Hmm?”

Half-asleep, Evie furrowed her brows slightly, slowly opened her eyes, still feeling a bit confused.

“Are you afraid of the dark? Do you need to go to the bathroom?”

Kaluoer gazed at the person who had always been the kindest to her in the World. Deep inside, she knew that no matter what she had been through, no matter how many years had passed, she had never changed.

She, however, had completely changed.

She would never be the person she once was.

All those experiences had changed her.

And so, Kaluoer calmly said,

“I will never leave my sister, Kaluoer, we will always be together.”

Evie paused, momentarily surprised.

She saw Kaluoer smiling at her.

That was a smile that hadn’t been seen in a long time, radiant like a flower, as beautiful as a pearl, a precious smile more valuable than even diamonds.

With immense sincerity.
