Nun

"Honestly, I don't know what to do with you!" Milim huffed arrogantly. Then scorching flames burst from her palm, quickly searing the bear meat golden brown.

"Big Sister, why is there fire on your hand?"

Lingling widened her eyes at the brilliant flames in Milim's hand and instinctively reached out to touch them.

Milim slapped Lingling's hand away. "Don't touch it. You'll burn your hand."

"Okay!" Lingling withdrew her hand, looking a little wronged.

Seeing Lingling's aggrieved expression, Milim reached out, tore off a fully roasted bear leg, and handed it to Charlotte Lingling!

"Hurry up and eat. Don't let yourself go hungry."

At the sight of the bear leg, Lingling's aggrieved expression vanished. "That's great, Big Sister!"

She grabbed the bear leg and gnawed at it bite after bite, her face soon covered in grease.

Seeing how happily Lingling ate, Milim could not help wondering whether she had a talent for cooking and had somehow made her first bear meat dish delicious.

Still doubtful, Milim extended her Dragon Claw, tore a piece of meat from the giant bear, brought it to her mouth, and took a fierce bite.

After spitting out the meat in her mouth, Milim confirmed that she truly had no talent for cooking. The only reason it could be eaten so eagerly was entirely Lingling's own issue.

Before long, Charlotte Lingling had devoured the entire bear by herself. Seeing this, Milim thanked herself more than once for possessing the ultimate skill, King of Wrath.

After eating and drinking her fill, it was naturally time to sleep. Lingling casually tore off several enormous leaves, spread them over the ground, and lay down on them.

Then she patted her round belly!

"Big Sister, come up here and sleep." Lingling showed an innocent smile.

"Okay!" Slightly absent-minded, Milim jumped onto Lingling's belly and lay down as well. They had always slept together over the years. Milim liked sleeping somewhere soft, and Lingling had always remembered that.

Before long, Lingling's breathing rose from beneath her. Looking at the few stars shining in the dark night, Milim recalled Lingling's innocent smile.

And the ugly appearance she had in the original future. Milim resolved that she would never let her little sister become that hideous thing.

Furthermore, according to analyses by some experts, Charlotte Lingling's brutal personality had not been her own. It was because she had accidentally eaten Nun, causing Nun's soul to remain within Lingling's body and take possession of it.

Moreover, in the original story, Lingling lost her memory after falling into the sea. At that time, her personality was exactly as it had been when she was young, without any change at all.

All these signs indicated that Nun had not completely died after being eaten by Lingling, but had instead survived in a new form.

Though these were only guesses, that did not matter to Milim. As long as there was a possibility, Milim would not let it happen.

Milim groggily opened her eyes and found the sky covered by dark clouds, as though a heavy rain was about to fall.

Milim's heart skipped a beat. She hurriedly jumped down from Lingling's belly and rushed into the forest. After several loud crashes, she ran back out carrying several giant trees on her shoulders.

Naturally, the commotion woke Lingling as well.

Still somewhat groggy from sleep, Lingling watched her sister run into the forest one moment and come back carrying several trees the next, then asked in confusion.

"Big Sister, is this a new game? But it's so noisy!"

"Idiot, it's about to rain. I'm building a house. I don't want to get soaked through."

"You hurry over and help too." Milim grabbed a giant tree over ten meters tall with one hand and rapped Lingling's forehead repeatedly.

That round of knocks thoroughly woke Lingling up. Rubbing her slightly itchy forehead, she followed Milim into the forest, snapped off several giant trees, carried them out, and set them on the ground.

Once she felt there was enough lumber, Milim covered one finger in dragon scales, turning it into a Dragon Claw. The sharp claw easily sliced through the giant trees, cutting them into sections.

Then Milim propped the logs together in triangular frames, gathered a pile of leaves, and covered every gap above them. Their first wilderness survival shelter was complete.

Milim nodded in satisfaction at the structure before her. Though it had no technical skill to speak of and had been built entirely through brute force.

Milim still felt happy. Perhaps because her body had become smaller, even her way of thinking had become younger.

Before the rain began to fall, Milim made another trip into the forest and caught several animals.

Just as she placed the animals on the grill, rain poured down outside like seawater flooding back in. The entire sea was obscured by the curtain of rain, leaving only a vast expanse of white.

"Wow!" Lingling stretched out her chubby little hands to catch the rain outside, then cupped the water and brought it over to Milim!

"Big Sister, there's mud on your face. Wash it with some water."

Milim touched her face and found that there really was some dirt on it. Without hesitation, she used the water in Lingling's hands to wash her face.

After washing her face, Milim felt utterly refreshed. Then she compared her height with Lingling's.

Even at such a young age, Lingling was already three or four meters tall, while she had only just reached one meter. In the Pirate World, her height would already count as a disability.

The days passed slowly like this. Other than Milim making Lingling train every day, nothing else happened.

A year quickly passed.

Lingling had grown quite a bit taller, while Milim's height remained unchanged.

Today should have been like any other day, but the arrival of a small boat shattered the peaceful life here.

Milim and Lingling had been eating roasted meat when a Nun dressed in a nun's habit, tall in figure but somewhat ugly in appearance, suddenly arrived at the shelter they had built.

Nun spoke in a gentle tone. "You must be homeless children. Come with me. I'll take you to a new home."

Milim did not react much, but the instant Lingling saw Nun, it was as if she had seen her former mother again.

So she felt especially close to Nun. And since Milim did not stop her, Nun smoothly led the two of them away from the deserted island.

Nun was delighted by her good fortune. That pink Giant child clearly had great potential—she would make a huge profit if she sold her later.

As for the short one, she was quite pretty. With proper training, she could also be sold for a good price.

Nun was thinking this, unaware that a pair of eyes behind her was staring at her intently!

At some point, Milim's ordinary pupils had turned into dragon-like vertical slits. Her enhanced eyes possessed formidable powers of observation, allowing her to easily read Nun's thoughts.
