Volume 1 Chapter 482
by post_apiChapter 482: Lolth’s Reasoning and Yi’s Reasonable Guess
Yi looked at herself and the "sister" in her arms, her expression inevitably a bit sad.
"At that moment, I already thought she was going to die."
"But… she is even stronger than I imagined."
"She faced attacks from the gods but still survived bravely."
"My sister is a hundred times stronger than I am…"
Yi sighed like this, while Lolth looked at the blood-covered girl in her arms and pondered.
"But if she could leave here, it must be you who helped her escape, right?"
Lolth tried to save Yi also’s heart.
When Yi also heard Lolth’s words, a faint bitter smile appeared on her face.
"Back then, I was only at a beginner level… How could I open a closed plane channel?"
"Although I did take her away… it was only because the channel to this alternate plane opened by itself."
"If you think that this level of situation can make me comfort myself with ‘I did my best,’ I cannot do that."
"In fact, I wasn’t even trying my hardest at that time."
As Yi also said this, Lolth opened her mouth but couldn’t find any comforting words to say.
Lolth could only continue to ask.
"So… you see, didn’t you come to this half-plane for your sister?"
She said this softly.
"I also have an older sister, so if I think about it from her perspective, I believe you have done enough! If my sister ran into a half-plane for me, I would be very moved."
Yi heard this too, but shook her head.
"It is not like that; the truth is she does not want to see me."
She spoke softly, her voice becoming more sad.
"Everything I have done is just to satisfy myself."
"I pretended to hold back my strength for her sake, not allowing myself to reach demi-god or even Holy Domain Middle Level, just so I could act without restrictions."
"I went to every half-plane and ancient ruins trying to find a ‘solution’, but… I found nothing."
"Even when I joined the Holy Alliance and got closer to the Holy Maiden of The Church of Light, she told me this situation is beyond repair."
"The most important thing is… even if I find a way, what will it change?"
"My sister doesn’t want to see me!"
"I haven’t heard from her in many years."
Yi also sighed, while Lolth remained silent beside her.
She felt an unbreakable wall of hearts between her and Yi also!
The stronger a person is, the harder it is for the shadows in their heart to fade away.
Especially the fact that the other person’s sister does not want to see her, and her feeling powerless about her own sister’s situation, is a certain truth.
Lolth, as an observer, could not find any reason to shake her heart.
This left Lolth feeling somewhat helpless.
Being stuck in this space made her feel extremely anxious every minute. The meaningless noise and chaotic colors, along with the sickening sensations and smells, made her want to throw up.
She looked at Yi’s frightened expression from years ago, the same one that didn’t know what to do, and glanced at the weak little sister in their arms, thinking quickly.
"My sister brought me here… she must have a reason for it…"
"This can’t be a problem I can’t solve… Think, Lolth, think."
Lolth slowly adjusted her breathing, thinking about this space and everything related to Yi.
And everything about herself.
As Lolth pondered, she suddenly felt like she had overlooked something.
"Wait a minute…"
She looked at the girl in Yi’s arms, feeling that something was off in her mind.
Because her face was covered in blood before, Lolth didn’t really pay much attention to this "sister’s" features.
But when she looked closely, Lolth realized where her feeling of "missing something" was coming from.
This face seemed a bit familiar.
Like she had seen it somewhere.
This face was very familiar, but the magical energy felt a bit strange.
Since Lolth recognized that a Superoperator could usually be identified through magical energy, and in the Succubus clan, faces could deceive but magical auras could not, Lolth instinctively overlooked the possibility of knowing this person.
So what if, for some reason… this person had no extraordinary powers?
Eastern Seven Kingdoms, cursed, swordsman…
As soon as these keywords came to mind, Lolth felt a spark of inspiration.
"Oh no… Could it be Ann…?"
In her memory, Ann’s delicate face slowly blended with the girl in Yi’s arms.
No wonder she felt a bit familiar when looking at Yi; these two actually looked somewhat similar!
Everything matched up.
Except for their gender!
But to be honest, Lolth remembered how Ann looked in a dress during a beauty pageant…
Suddenly, she felt like gender didn’t matter much after all.
Plus, it seemed that even a powerful person like Yi, the master of the Clean Spring Palace and the Eastern Marshal of the Holy Alliance, couldn’t find her own sister. It seemed like no one on the whole continent had the skill or the will to do such a thing.
But coincidentally, Lolth had someone in Hillenbrand Town whom she felt would definitely do something like that.
Ms. Fuen, the foster mother of her main disciple, and the landlady of the tavern in Hillenbrand Town…
This made Lolth more certain about one thing.
Ann really could only be Yi also’s sister.
Thinking of this, she carefully looked at Yi also and tentatively asked a question.
"Um… may I ask what your sister’s name is?"
Upon hearing Lolth’s question, Yi also felt a bit strange for a moment.
But lost in her sadness, she didn’t think too much and immediately blurted out an answer to Lolth.
"Her name is… Ann, what’s wrong?"
"Wow—"
Lolth heard this name and immediately covered her eyes.
At least I know the alias Kululu!
Ann, this guy… no, this girl really is on the run with her real name!
If it weren’t for the landlady’s great power and Yi also seeming a bit disheartened, this guy would have been caught already!
While Yi also looked puzzled, Lolth took a long time to process this information.
Both Ann’s actions and the fact that she is a girl as well as being Yi also’s younger sister were enough to keep Lolth quiet for a long time.
The impact of this fact was as strong as the colorful space itself.
Five minutes later, Lolth took a deep breath and removed her hands from her face.
"Lord Yi also, what I am about to say, please try not to get too excited."
"I think… I mean, I might know where your sister is."
"If everything goes well, I might be able to arrange a meeting for you."
Yi also heard this and showed a surprised expression.
Then, in an instant, joy, unease, worry, and expectation all flashed across her face.
Finally, it turned into a shaky voice.
"So… is she now… in the abyss?"
