Chapter 84: Morning After the Battle

Early morning.

At a villa in the South Sea of Hua Nation.

Silvery-white specks of light materialized out of thin air before the villa gate without any warning, then instantly coalesced into a breathtaking silver-haired girl.

Unlike her usual majestic and holy image, Lin Ling now appeared utterly lifeless. Hunched over, arms dangling before her chest, she looked like a picture of dejection.

It couldn’t be helped—she was exhausted!

Mentally drained!

At least she had just set up a barrier with a massive amount of spiritual energy around here to block any perception, so no one could see her now.

As she opened the door, a joyful, loli-like voice greeted her: “Master! You’re back!”

Little White leaped up from a chair in the hallway and ran over to Lin Ling.

Patting the cat-eared loli’s head out of habit, Lin Ling asked casually, “How are the others?”

“Apart from your parents and younger brother, the relatives who saw your true form have all been sent back. The injured giant beasts have received temporary treatment. As for the suitable individuals, Miss Sakuragi should be cultivating in the basement, and Jieming is drunk—probably asleep like Zhang Shuhan.” Little White reported the villa’s current status while enjoying Lin Ling’s gentle touch.

“Oh, that’s good,” Lin Ling responded idly.

It wasn’t even six o’clock yet, and Sakuragi was already training. So diligent, despite how exhausting yesterday was.

“Oh, by the way, Master, I detected that some people in Nation M have secretly collected the corpses of the Prison Beasts. Should we give them a warning?” Little White suddenly looked up at Lin Ling with a serious expression. This was no small matter.

But Lin Ling unexpectedly shook her head. “No need. They probably still don’t believe what you said and think they can control that power. Let them try. Only by suffering a lesson can they truly understand the terror of the Outer Realm.”

“Understood.” Since Lin Ling had decided, Little White naturally wouldn’t object.

“Alright, you go ahead and handle your business. Good work. I’ll go change clothes first.” Lin Ling then walked toward the living room.

At that, Little White reconnected her consciousness to the internet. The web was currently flooded with shocking news—she needed to keep things under control, or people might really think the end of the world was coming.

****

In the living room.

Lin Hui sat on the sofa, gloomily drinking a cola. His mind was a tangled mess.

Everything from yesterday was still fresh in his memory, vivid and clear.

Although he had suspected his older brother was hiding something ever since arriving at his new place, he had only guessed that his brother knew some alien beauty—maybe even a loli type.

But that his ordinary brother would suddenly turn into a silver-haired girl who was practically a savior? If I hadn’t seen it with my own eyes, I would never believe it!

Every time he thought of his brother becoming his sister, an indescribable awkwardness crept in…

Come to think of it, those perverted roommates of mine really admired the silver-haired girl, even fantasized about her as their dream girl… If they knew the truth, they’d choke on their own blood.

Or maybe they’d get even more excited…

But the important thing is, how am I supposed to get along with this… brother… no, sister from now on!

While Lin Hui was scratching his head in frustration and finishing another bottle of cola,

a clear sound of footsteps came from the hallway, breaking his train of thought.

Someone came in? Is it bro… ah, spit… sister?

A silver-haired girl in a dignified black-and-white ceremonial dress walked into the hall with a light, teasing step.

Just as he was thinking about how to face this sister, she showed up.

Not ready yet, Lin Hui’s heart suddenly raced; tension was inevitable.

But unexpectedly,

under Lin Hui’s astonished gaze, the silver-haired girl didn’t even notice him sitting on the sofa. Instead, she walked straight toward the bedroom area.

??? Huh??

Lin Hui was dumbfounded and quickly called out, “Brother??!!!”

To his surprise, she shot back, “Stay there, you brat! I need to change clothes!” and left the living room without turning back.

Although it caught Lin Hui off guard,

Lin Ling’s familiar tone and this unexpected turn of events did ease a lot of Lin Hui’s tension.

But in truth, Lin Ling didn’t do it on purpose. She had noticed her little brother in the hall but hadn’t bothered to sense his emotions. What she wanted most now was to change her clothes.

To be honest, during the previous battle with the Heavenly Prison Beast, her ceremonial dress had been mostly corroded by that bastard Leviathan. Although Lin Ling had used spiritual energy to roughly restore the missing parts, she was still in a state of extreme indecency.

Better change into something presentable.

And repairing this dress was going to be a hassle… Lin Ling thought to herself with some annoyance.

****

After tying up her hair and putting on a casual men’s outfit, Lin Ling sat across from Lin Hui without any pretense, legs wide open, and chugged a can of cola.

Lin Hui was completely stunned by the sight. This image must never be revealed to his friends!

“What’s up? Why are you up so early?” Lin Ling asked lazily after finishing her cola.

Ah, if you look past her appearance, she’s really just like the brother I used to know.

At this thought, Lin Hui’s remaining tension completely vanished.

No matter how she changes, she’s still that person. Why should I be nervous? Lin Hui mocked himself inwardly.

Then he looked at Lin Ling’s face. “I guess I should call you ‘big sis’ now.”

“Yeah, although it feels a bit weird, you can still call me ‘bro’ if you want.” Hearing that “big sis,” Lin Ling herself got goosebumps.

But Lin Hui refused resolutely. “No way. After all, you’re really my sister now.”

Glancing at Lin Ling’s slightly twitching brow, he continued, “But that’s fine. Mom always complained that her second child wasn’t a daughter, which used to make me super awkward.”

“Hmm… speaking of which, aren’t you mad that I kept this from you?” Lin Ling asked curiously.

Lin Hui gave her a puzzled look. “Why would I be mad? It’s such a complicated matter. I can understand why you, bro… sis, didn’t want to involve us.”

Lin Ling hadn’t expected him to be so understanding, and she felt a little relieved. She then straightened up and said cheerfully, “Well, since you already know the gist of it, if you need any help, just tell me. I can still move around freely for now. I feel bad for keeping it from you, so I can make it up to you a little, you little rascal, hehe.”

Hearing that, Lin Hui put on a thoughtful expression, his eyes drifting upward, then turned indifferent. “Honestly, I used to have a lot of things I wanted to do.”

“Well, speak up.”

Lin Hui suddenly shook his head. “Now that I know all this, all I hope is that our family can live safely. If I have to say something… Big sis, can I borrow your car?”

Lin Ling raised an eyebrow. “Oh? Going on a date? With that Qian Yanxue?”

“How do you know?!” Lin Hui was flustered.

“How could I not know? Did you forget the AI girl at the door?” Lin Ling looked mockingly at her brother. Besides, that Qian family had even sent people to our house to check on us. It’s hard not to know.

“True… but speaking of dates… Big sis, you…” Lin Hui’s tone suddenly became hesitant.

“What? Just say it.”

Lin Hui glanced at his sister’s body.

She really was a girl now.

With some helplessness and embarrassment, he said, “Our parents are a bit traditional… Judging from my private chat with Mom yesterday… she seems a bit worried about your marriage? And about grandchildren…”

Huh?

Lin Ling: WTF…
