Xun Er stared at Yao Wan in utter disbelief. After making an effort to adjust her voice, Yao Wan's words struck like thunder, sending a violent tremor through Xun Er's cyan eyes.
She had probably only ever seen a scene like this in her dreams.
Yao Wan calling her big sister in such a sweet, delicate voice—
Xun Er could not help taking a deep breath, only to suddenly notice a warm flow trickling from her nose. She froze.
"What's wrong, Sister Xun Er~~? Could it be that your little sister made you angry~~?"
Completely unlike that coy, delicate voice, her thin, slender willow-leaf brows lifted slightly, carrying a deliberate hint of teasing mockery.
"Hah..."
Xun Er took a deep breath, swiftly wiping it away with Dou Qi while suppressing the churning blood and energy within her body.
Just looking at Xun Er's expression made Yao Wan want to laugh.
After all, she did not care about who was older or younger. Having already become a Dou Di, even if she never left the Dou Qi Continent and simply stayed hidden away, she would still have at least ten thousand years of lifespan. Age only seemed to differ greatly at a time like this. After several thousand years, who would care about such a trivial fraction?
Big sister, little sister—when all was said and done, it was merely competitiveness between them.
What truly mattered had never been those forms of address. They were simply excuses to tease each other.
"Alright, Wan'er, stop teasing Xun Er."
Seeing that Yao Wan and Xun Er's clash had finally produced a victor, Xiao Yan gave a light cough and spoke.
"Hmph~~~"
Since Xiao Yan had finally stepped in to take sides, it naturally meant that she had still come out on top this time.
