Wherever Na'er Is, There Is Home

"The Fate Threads have been completely cleared away. Now I can take this silly little sister home."

After confirming that the Fate Threads binding her little sister had been completely severed, Gu Yuexi no longer hesitated and immediately walked toward her.

During that time, Na'er seemed to sense something. She immediately raised her head and looked in Gu Yuexi's direction.

Feeling her little sister's gaze, Gu Yuexi waved at her and gave her a gentle smile. The sisters' eyes met just like that.

But soon, after noticing Gu Yuexi's gaze, Na'er lowered her head, seeming a little embarrassed. She looked exceptionally shy.

The little girl thought that the big sister who had been looking at her was so pretty. Moreover, she could feel an innate sense of closeness from her, like the warm sun, making her unable to resist wanting to get closer.

How wonderful would it be if she could become her older sister!

Na'er really wanted to step forward and hug that big sister, but she felt embarrassed and was afraid that the big sister would reject her. After all, doing that would be very rude.

So, she could only stand there blankly, staring at the beautiful big sister in a daze.

Eh, no, no—why was that beautiful big sister walking toward her?

Watching the beautiful big sister approach her step by step, Na'er grew a little nervous, her heart racing like a startled deer.

Though she herself did not know why she was nervous.

By then, Gu Yuexi had already come to the little girl's side. She crouched down, looked at her somewhat flustered little sister, and revealed a warm, gentle smile.

"Hi~ little cutie, why are you here all by yourself? Where is your family?"

As she spoke, she had already released her divine sense and swept the surrounding area several times.

She wanted to see whether, after severing the Fate Threads, a few hooligans would still pop out to harass her little sister like in the original story.

If there were, she would not mind sending those hooligans straight to hell!

Perhaps because Gu Yuexi had come to pick up her sister earlier than Tang Wulin had, or perhaps because the Fate Threads had been severed, Gu Yuexi did not find anyone nearby who looked like a hooligan.

After all, today was the annual Martial Soul Awakening Day. As long as they had time, everyone in the city would go to the Spirit Pagoda to watch the children awaken their Martial Souls.

"Home... I don't have a home anymore."

After hearing Gu Yuexi's words, Na'er shook her head. A trace of sorrow flashed through her purple eyes, as though she had recalled something sad. A crystal-clear tear slid from the corner of her eye.

Her home was in the Star Dou Great Forest, but that place had been devastated until only its core region remained, barely hanging on!

For some time now, she had been standing near Red Mountain Academy, watching the crowds come and go, watching those children freely act spoiled and play around beside their fathers and mothers. She envied them beyond measure.

She also wanted, like the other children, to have a home of her own, along with delicious snacks and a soft little bed that belonged only to her.

Seeing this, Gu Yuexi did not say anything more. She took a handkerchief from her clothes and gently wiped away the tears at Na'er's eyes. Then she pulled the little girl into her arms and comforted her softly.

"It's all right. Everything will get better. If you can't find your family for now, then how about big sister becoming your family from now on?"

"Big sister, are you willing to be my family?"

Hearing this, Na'er raised her head and looked in disbelief at the unbelievably beautiful big sister before her. She had never expected that the fantasies she had just had would actually come true.

"Of course it's true. Oh, right, big sister's name is Gu Yuexi. What's your name?"

Gu Yuexi reached out and patted Na'er's little head. Mm, her little sister's dazed expression right now was simply too adorable.

If she had a camera now, she would definitely take a picture of her like this, then show it to her after she recovered her memories so she could see what she had looked like as a child.

"Big sister, my name is Na'er!" Na'er said happily as she looked at her sister.

"Then it's settled. From now on, I'm Na'er's big sister. Wherever Na'er is, there is home!"

"Mhm, wherever big sister is, there is home too!"

Na'er smiled and nodded at the woman before her. Since arriving in this unfamiliar Sun Moon Federation, this was the first time she had revealed such a radiant smile.

"Grrr~ grrr~ grrr~"

However, at that moment, Na'er's stomach let out an embarrassingly loud growl.

"Big sister, I..." Na'er looked at her sister and lowered her head shyly, her delicate little face slightly flushed.

"Haha, you're hungry, aren't you? Here, have this piece of cake to tide you over first. Once big sister finishes handling what comes next, I'll treat Na'er to something delicious and get you a new set of clothes too, okay?"

As she spoke, Gu Yuexi handed her a large piece of strawberry cake. Her little sister had quite an appetite, but fortunately, she had come prepared.

"Okay, thank you, big sister! I love sweets the most, hehe."

Na'er took the strawberry cake and happily began eating. As for the fact that her sister, whom she had only just met, somehow knew what she liked to eat, she tossed it straight to the back of her mind.

"Big sister, where are we going next?" After finishing the cake, Na'er looked at her sister and asked.

Just as Gu Yuexi was about to answer her little sister, she saw two beams of light shoot into the sky from the direction of the Spirit Pagoda in Aolai City.

One was ice-blue, its dense Ultimate Ice seeming ready to freeze heaven and earth and all things. The other was fiery red, with Ultimate Fire swirling within it, its scorching heat seeming ready to burn everything to ashes.

Yet under the balance of these two powers, neither the surrounding city nor its people felt the slightest discomfort, nor was any damage caused.

"Big sister, what is that? It looks really powerful," Na'er asked as she looked at the two beams of light.

"Someone probably awakened some incredible Martial Soul. How about we go take a look?"

"Okay! Wherever big sister goes, Na'er goes too!"

"Then let's go."

With that, Gu Yuexi carried her little sister toward the Spirit Pagoda in Aolai City.

After all, something capable of causing such a huge commotion had to be a top-tier Divine-Level Martial Soul.

And in this era, only Tang Wulin, the God King's Son, possessed such qualifications.

Therefore, Gu Yuexi planned to go over and control that brat, then have him deal with the returning Tang San ten thousand years later.

Just like how they had forcibly used the Destiny Thread to bind her little sister.

Return the favor in kind!
