Chapter 20: A Sister’s Comfort and a Kiss of Power

“Weapons?” Lin Ling felt a touch of bewilderment. She still hadn’t grasped how a Battle Sovereign should fight, nor was she accustomed to wielding her authorities and myriad abilities. Naturally, she had no idea what kind of weapon would suit her best.

During simulated battles within her sea of consciousness, she had merely thrown punches all day long. Was she meant to acquire a pair of gauntlets? That seemed far too crude, yet she knew no other weapons.

As if discerning Lin Ling’s confusion, Bisika spoke up, offering reassurance.

“There’s no rush for that,” Bisika said. “Once you’ve fully mastered your power, you can forge your own unique combat style. Deciding on a weapon then won’t be too late. Besides, with our formidable learning capabilities, wouldn’t it be fine to just pick one up now?”

“You’re right.”

Afterward, Bisika continued explaining the functions and uses of the other gifts to Lin Ling. This made Lin Ling realize just how incredibly wealthy her siblings were. She longed to cling to their coattails!

However, Lin Ling noticed there were only five gifts in total. She recalled that besides herself, there were six other original Battle Sovereigns.

“My gift hasn’t arrived yet!”

“Mine is rather large, so it’ll take some time to transport it over, hehe,” Bisika chuckled, a hint of smugness in her smile.

That evening, Lin Ling lay quietly in bed, her mind replaying the recent cascade of events. Everything felt incredibly abrupt: the sudden, devastating news, the inexplicable acquisition of power, and the emergence of new family members.

This world had instantly become profoundly unfamiliar, and a sense of loss and bewilderment enveloped her.

Without Xi Yue’s companionship, what purpose did her life hold? Perhaps her current goal was to uncover the truth, but what then? Battle Sovereigns possessed endless lifespans. What would she do throughout the countless millennia ahead? She refused to drift through existence aimlessly, simply living day by day.

Lin Ling now felt like a lost lamb, her future a nebulous void, its path utterly unknown.

Just as Lin Ling pondered the meaning of life, a vast amount of Sacred Spirit Power gathered beside her. The next moment, Bisika materialized on the bed and, without hesitation, wrapped her arms around Lin Ling’s neck.

“Sister, I don’t think we actually need to sleep, do we?” Lin Ling asked, gazing at the blonde loli clinging to her, a hint of helplessness in her tone.

After a day together, Lin Ling realized her ‘sister’ was nothing like an older sibling. Instead, she felt as if she had adopted a mischievous younger sister, or even a daughter.

Bisika was simply too playful, too prone to stirring up trouble. Only after asking that afternoon did Lin Ling learn that the infamous Eiffel Tower incident in F Country, which had caused such a stir the day before, was Bisika’s doing. Because she couldn’t buy her desired Eiffel Tower model, she had simply uprooted the entire structure and carried it away.

This led to the people of F Country surrendering once more, raising white flags directly to an unknown God or aliens. They were convinced their nation had provoked some supernatural force. Now, protests had erupted, demanding the president’s resignation. The poor president was inexplicably taking the blame.

When asked where she got her money, Bisika explained she had infiltrated M Country’s monetary institutions, printed hundreds of billions, and then, feeling pity for the many unemployed, decided to simply scatter the cash, causing rampant inflation. The “Wise King” was exasperated beyond words.

Moreover, her methods for entering these institutions had been rather violent.

And there was more…

However, it wasn’t without its benefits. With Bisika’s help, the attention of major nations had largely shifted away from Cangyang City. They were now searching for the blonde bombshell (Bisika’s disguised appearance) who had been causing so much chaos recently.

After all, Bisika didn’t want to be held accountable later, once the Tianyu Tribe and humanity established diplomatic relations.

****

“No, we don’t need to,” Bisika replied, her tone now devoid of its usual playfulness and mischievousness. Instead, it carried a hint of maturity, like an elder instructing a junior. This made Lin Ling pause in surprise once more.

“Our path ahead is long. Sleep can help us pass a great deal of time, especially after the loss of loved ones. Forgetting some things in slumber is often a good choice.”

“Compared to others, what we lack least is time…”

…

…

After a period of quiet conversation, Lin Ling found herself embracing the increasingly somber Bisika. “Then let’s sleep,” she murmured.

“Mm.”

For the first time in ages, Lin Ling released her burdens and enjoyed a rare night of peaceful sleep. Before this, she had tirelessly investigated Xi Yue’s disappearance and immersed herself in learning various knowledge, including spirit energy control.

Bisika, too, got her wish, drifting off to sleep with her new sister, successfully taking a step towards forging a pure sisterly bond.

The scene was almost heartwarming, as if two true sisters were embracing in slumber.

However, a certain cat was far from pleased.

****

In the living room, Little White hung suspended in mid-air, trussed up tightly.

Knowing this creature would undoubtedly disrupt her intimate time with her sister, Bisika had bound Little White’s abilities and strung them up before entering the bedroom. They wouldn’t die anyway!

“Meow, meow, meow! Meow!”

Little White wailed incessantly, struggling to break free from its restraints.

Alas, apart from its intelligence, it was truly just an ordinary kitten at the moment.

****

The next morning, after a series of alluring, somewhat compromising moments, Lin Ling finally managed to dress the golden-haired loli in a normal outfit. She couldn’t fathom why Bisika insisted Lin Ling help her change, claiming she didn’t know how to wear human clothes.

Lin Ling knew this was pure nonsense, as Bisika had been wearing a standard human summer three-piece outfit when she first arrived yesterday. Yet, Lin Ling didn’t object.

She wasn’t losing anything, and she even got an eyeful – what was there to object to? Still, did Bisika not know Lin Ling used to be a boy? Was she truly so unguarded?

Bisika, of course, was well aware of this.

However, Lin Ling was now a girl, and she would remain so for millions of years to come.

Moreover, what was a mere twenty-odd years in this lifetime?

The words of the Mother Goddess were etched firmly in her heart!

For this reason, Bisika needed to help Lin Ling adjust her psychological state. Blushing at the sight of a girl’s body simply wouldn’t do; when she eventually met ‘that big-chested woman,’ her soul would surely be snatched away.

And, incidentally, it would also annoy that dead cat, hmph (￢︿̫̿￢☆).

With that thought, Bisika glanced towards the living room.

‘Huh?’

Little White had rolled its eyes back and passed out.

“Oh dear, it seems I tied it a bit too tightly.”

Bisika awkwardly covered her mouth with a small hand.

After changing, Lin Ling brought up the matter of Xi Yue, hoping Bisika could help investigate.

Bisika naturally wouldn’t refuse her sister’s request, agreeing to help ascertain if Xi Yue belonged to another race. However, matters internal to Blue Star were best left for Lin Ling to handle herself, as it wouldn’t be appropriate for Bisika to interfere in the internal affairs of other races.

Sensing the scarce spirit energy within Lin Ling, Bisika couldn’t help but complain internally: ‘This recovery speed is incredibly slow!’ She decided to give her a boost.

As Lin Ling was still playfully poking Little White and wondering why it wouldn’t wake up, Bisika suddenly turned Lin Ling’s head and sealed her lips with a kiss.

??? Lin Ling’s mind crashed. What was happening?

The next moment, a massive surge of spirit energy poured from Bisika’s mouth into Lin Ling’s body. In no time, it reached the minimum threshold for self-recovery.

Bisika then ceased the infusion.

“Heh, thanks for the treat.”
