Chapter 479: Sisters

At night, in the new imperial capital.

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

In the spacious lobby of the inn, Kaluoer gently patted her older sister’s back and asked if she wanted to go to sleep.

Evie, being extraordinary, had a body that was different from ordinary people’s. However, she hadn’t reached the point where she no longer needed sleep.

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 currently in chaos. People were shocked by the sudden collapse of this bustling city overnight. With the emperor’s instruction, the council swiftly organized relief efforts to temporarily maintain order.

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

This hotel was fortunate enough to escape Vanity’s destructive attack.

Evie grabbed her little sister Kaluoer’s cold and delicate hand, smiling. She said, "Let’s sleep on 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 tilted her head slightly, her face devoid of any emotion, gazing at the person in front of her who was smiling mischievously.

"Are you playing tricks on me?" Evie huffed, pinching her sister’s cheeks and exclaimed, "Do you think I don’t know you’re secretly enjoying this? Even though you’re pretending to be emotionless, I can still sense what you’re feeling inside, you know?"

"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 soft tone, there was a hint of "reluctance," "being put in a difficult position," and "this person is being unreasonable."

Bai Yan sat nearby in silence, unable to join in the conversation. It was as if he didn’t exist at all.

"I will go outside to see 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 couldn’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 gloomy, and there weren’t many people on the stone path. The parents’ business was not doing well.

However, it didn’t affect the two sisters playing here in the slightest.

"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 stretched out her finger and flicked it forcefully, sending the ant that was bullying her little sister flying.

"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, unable to understand Kaluoer’s thoughts, or even whether she was genuinely scared just now or pretending to be.

However, she didn’t care!

As an older sister, all I had to do was to protect my younger sister!

At that time, the two of them were indeed very close.

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 day of their last shared birthday, the tired parents prepared identical gifts for them.

Evie was very happy, and Kaluoer was also happy, but her emotions weren’t as high as Evie’s.

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 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 past 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.
