Qingfeng and Qingyu Take the Marrow-Cleansing Pills
"By the way, I have some Sugar Beans here. Want some?"
Remembering something, Wei Lin took out two seven-colored pills.
The moment the pills appeared, a rich medicinal fragrance filled the air.
"Sugar Beans? Are they tasty?"
Qingyu's eyes lit up. She hurriedly leaned over to look at the "Sugar Beans" in her brother's palm. Her little eyes darted around, and she promptly licked his right hand.
"!!!"
Wei Lin jolted, looking at the wetness in his palm and then at Qingyu's utterly unfazed expression.
His fists were itching.
Qingyu instinctively moved away from Wei Lin. After all, she had been hit so many times that it had become an instinctive reaction.
Now, she could safely say that whenever Wei Lin had the slightest thought of smacking her, her sixth sense would sound the alarm.
"It doesn't feel... sweet, though."
Qingyu pressed a hand to her forehead in resignation. She had completely given up on her little sister's intelligence.
Wei Lin took the remaining pill and slowly held it to her mouth.
Looking at the pill before her, Qingfeng swallowed it without the slightest hesitation.
After a while, both girls began to feel a little hot, and in less than half an hour, all that remained were two little mud people.
When the two came to their senses and saw the filth on their bodies and smelled the stench wafting off them, they shrieked and ran for the washroom.
Wei Lin gave a rather wicked smile. This was the first time he had seen these two little demon pills in such a sorry state.
Still, he had to admit that girls took far too long to bathe.
They washed for a full three hours. Surely that was enough time to scrub their skin off.
"Brother, they're girls. It's perfectly normal for them to take so long in the bath. Besides, the filth on them isn't easy to wash off."
Wei Xi placed two sets of clean clothes outside the bathroom door and sat down elegantly beside Wei Lin.
"...Now I'm starting to wonder whether I made a clone or a whole new person."
Wei Xi tilted her little head slightly, and her sweet smile made Wei Lin feel as though an arrow had pierced his heart.
"I'm an extension of your soul. I am you, and you are me. No one understands you better than I do, because I am you."
Wei Lin turned his head with an ordinary expression, or it would have been ordinary if his ears hadn't been a little red.
"Brother, we're done washing."
Qingfeng and Qingyu wore pink one-piece dresses, and white silk stockings set off the shape of their legs beautifully. Their somewhat small, thin frames had also changed slightly under the effects of the Marrow-Cleansing Pills.
As long as they got enough nutrition from now on, they would definitely be little beauties among the best.
"Beautiful."
Both girls blushed slightly. Qingfeng was still a little reserved, but Qingyu had already grown completely accustomed to the outfit. She began running around Wei Lin, poking this and that from time to time.
"Come on. I'll take you to awaken your Martial Souls."
Qingfeng and Qingyu's faces filled with anticipation.
They understood now that their brother's identity was certainly no simple matter. Perhaps, just like in the storybooks, he was the sole heir to a reclusive family, but had been driven out for some reason.
The two had secretly resolved to help their brother reclaim everything that belonged to him.
Wei Lin had no idea what the two little ones were thinking. Otherwise, he would surely have treated them to their favorite big slaps across the face.
The carriage creaked and rattled.
Qingfeng and Qingyu watched their home recede into the distance, feeling a little sad. After all, this was where they had lived for six years.
"Brother, will we... come back?"
Wei Lin placed a hand on each of their little heads.
"We will."
Looking at the receding village, perhaps they would come back, probably.
(Lin'er, Mom and Dad know your identity is no simple matter. You've been extraordinary since you were little and know so much. Mom and Dad ask for nothing else. Take our daughters, your sisters, and stay alive, all right? If you get the chance, don't come back. They only have their brother...)
"Dad, Mom, I'll keep them alive. You can rest easy."
Wei Xi patted his shoulder. Their eyes met, and she nodded silently.
This time, their journey officially began.
Kaluya Village was rather remote, and the nearest city was a day's journey away.
"Sister Xiangling, when is generally the best time to add this pepper?"
Qingfeng adjusted her little glasses, recording Xiangling's every step in her notebook with her little hand.
"Little Qingfeng really likes cooking, doesn't she?"
Qingfeng nodded. She liked seeing her brother's expression when he ate something delicious, and she always wanted to do something within her power. But she hadn't noticed that she was actually a little child herself.
Xiangling was teaching Qingfeng to cook, while Lan Yan was teaching Qingyu to weave a rattan basket. Of course, she just couldn't manage to weave one.
Compared with sitting there obediently weaving a rattan basket, she wanted to go adventuring with Brother Bennett more, though she came back in a damaged version every time. After all, Bennett's luck wasn't something just anyone could withstand.
Of course, Bennett protected her well, too. Aside from looking a little bedraggled, she wasn't hurt.
After all, Old Ban's adventuring experience and support abilities were no joke.
Even if you had only one breath left, one burst on the spot would bring you back to full health.
"This girl keeps making a fuss about joining Benny's Adventure Team."
"Let her join, then. We can register her with the Adventurers' Guild later."
Ever since discovering that he could set the appearances of the NPCs he drew, he had worked hard to put Tianshu's framework together.
Xu Qingfeng Age: 6 Martial Soul: Past Shadow (eyes) Xu Qingyu Age: 6 Martial Soul: Qian Jun Dragon Emperor (unawakened)
One was a top-tier Body Martial Soul with the time attribute, and the other was the Qian Jun Dragon Emperor, which possessed the ultimate strength attribute.
It was easy to imagine how powerful the effects of the two Ultimate Marrow-Cleansing Pills produced by the system were.
But...
"Isn't your Martial Soul a bit too much of a contrast?"
Wei Xi tilted her head slightly.
"No, I think it's great."
Wei Xi Age: 6 Martial Soul: Human Emperor Banner (it just gives off a little black smoke)/Holy Angel (twelve wings) (unawakened)
Wei Lin could already picture it.
A holy angel dressed in black Lolita fashion, holding a Ten Thousand Souls... Human Emperor Banner billowing black smoke.
That sight was simply too much to look at.
"What are you talking about? It's obviously really cool. If anyone dares make a move against me, I'll invite them into my Human Emperor Banner to cultivate properly. I won't even kill them. I'm so kind."
Wei Lin's lips twitched. Good grief, so that was the kind of kindness she meant. But... she wasn't wrong. After all, they were alive and well. As for how they were living, never mind that.
"By the way, have you seen Stelle?"
"Xingbao? No idea. Who knows where she went? It's not like you don't know what she's like."
"Emm... when will Stelle realize that she's actually... a mature beauty?"
