You're My Brother from Another Mother and Father

Looking at the new content appearing in the Diary in her mind, Meng Hongchen's cute little face instantly turned bright red. It even seemed as though steam was rising from her snow-white hair, and she nearly transformed into a Steam Maiden on the spot.

With a stumble, Meng Hongchen nearly fell over.

Love Wang Dong'er at first sight while she was disguised as a man? Impossible! Absolutely impossible! I admit that I do like good-looking people, but just how beautiful would Wang Dong'er have to be while disguised as a man for me to do something like that? Huo Yuhao is definitely talking nonsense!

Hearing the commotion, Xiao Hongchen, who was walking ahead, turned around and saw his sister's strange appearance. Startled, he quickly asked in an anxious voice.

"Meng, what's wrong?"

Huo Yuhao also looked at Meng Hongchen with concern, unable to understand why she had suddenly turned into a Steam Maiden.

Feeling the two of them watching her, Meng Hongchen shot Huo Yuhao an embarrassed, irritated glare. After taking a deep breath, she forcibly calmed her somewhat restless emotions and shook her head with feigned composure.

"I'm fine. Don't waste time. Let's keep moving."

Seeing that Meng Hongchen was unwilling to say more, Xiao Hongchen helplessly pursed his lips and leaned close to Huo Yuhao, lowering his voice.

"Try to understand, Yuhao. Women have a few days every month when their emotions are a little unstable."

Before Huo Yuhao could nod in agreement, an icy voice that chilled them to the bone suddenly reached their ears.

"Xiao Hongchen! Are you looking to die?!"

As if he had felt the suppression of bloodline, Xiao Hongchen shuddered. Facing his sister's terrifying gaze, he immediately ducked behind Huo Yuhao and repeatedly waved his hands.

"My mistake, my mistake. Don't get so worked up, Meng. Intense emotional fluctuations can easily give you wrinkles. You wouldn't want to be covered in wrinkles at such a young age, would you?"

Meng Hongchen went stiff. Her fists went stiff.

Unable to suppress the embarrassment and fury in her heart any longer, she let out a delicate shout, clenched her little fists, and began chasing Xiao Hongchen down.

Watching this pair of siblings, so completely different from what he had imagined, Huo Yuhao smacked his lips, a smile appearing on his face. Having just arrived in the Sun Moon Empire, meeting these siblings did not seem half bad.

After sighing to himself, Huo Yuhao once again began scribbling in the Diary in his mind with his thoughts.

Come to think of it, Meng Hongchen really could not be blamed for falling for Wang Dong'er, who was also a woman. After all, she was not the only one who had done such a thing.

Xiao Xiao from Shrek Academy and Nan Qiuqiu from the Earth Dragon Sect had both, like Meng Hongchen, fallen for Wang Dong'er without knowing the truth.

As long as I make sure not to have too much contact with Wang Dong'er, I really do want to see just how beautiful she is. But there's no need to rush. I'll have the chance at the next Soul Master Competition. The Sun Moon Imperial Soul Engineer Academy's competing team should welcome a Human Cheat like me joining them, right?

No, no, I should still keep a low profile. What if Shrek sets its sights on me then and forcibly kidnaps me? It's not as if they wouldn't do something like that.

Meng Hongchen, who was in the middle of "hunting down" her brother, immediately breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that she was not the only one who had fallen for Wang Dong'er disguised as a man.

This kind of mentality was rather strange. As long as she was not the only one who had done something foolish, Meng Hongchen immediately felt far less embarrassed.

However, while the new content in the Diary lessened Meng Hongchen's sense of shame, it made the atmosphere between Wang Dong'er and Xiao Xiao, who had already left Shrek City and were traveling, extremely awkward.

Wang Dong'er and Xiao Xiao exchanged a glance, then both shifted their gazes away at the same time. Yet their cheeks still flushed faintly in unison.

Xiao Xiao had originally been teasing Wang Dong'er over Meng Hongchen falling for her despite them both being women. But right after she finished speaking, she saw that if things had followed their original course, she herself would have fallen for Wang Dong'er too. It was simply too embarrassing!

This strange atmosphere lasted for quite a while before Xiao Xiao finally calmed down. After coughing twice, she spoke.

"Dong'er, once we reach the Sun Moon Imperial Soul Engineer Academy, you won't keep disguising yourself as a man, right? I think if you keep this up, the girls who fall for you probably won't be limited to just the three of us. There'll definitely be more."

Wang Dong'er answered without hesitation.

"Of course not!"

"The only reason I disguised myself as a man before was because, without my knowledge, I became bait to hook Huo Yuhao as part of Tang San's Millennium Plan. Now that I've broken free from Tang San's control, there's no way I'll keep disguising myself as a man!"

Wang Dong'er lifted her chin and gave two smug huffs, looking thoroughly tsundere.

"Didn't Huo Yuhao say in the Diary that he wanted to see just how beautiful I am? Then I'll let him see for himself! Let's see whether he can still stay focused on his career and avoid being infected by love-brain thinking!"

Forget Huo Yuhao—even Xiao Xiao had now had her curiosity stirred by the words in the Diary. She badly wanted to know just how outstanding Wang Dong'er's appearance would be once she returned to women's clothing.

After his sister finally spared him, Xiao Hongchen relaxed as well and moved close to Huo Yuhao to ask.

"Oh, right, Yuhao. I forgot to ask earlier. Is the range of your Mental Detection soul skill limited to only fifty meters around you?"

Before Huo Yuhao could answer, Meng Hongchen already knew that this soul skill could not possibly be so simple.

She knew that Huo Yuhao's first Soul Ring was not truly a ten-year Soul Ring as it appeared on the surface. It had been brought to him by the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm, the only Million-Year Soul Beast on the Douluo Continent!

Only covering fifty meters around him? That would be seriously underestimating the worth of a Million-Year Soul Beast!

Huo Yuhao did not keep them in suspense. He once again used his Mental Detection and Mental Sharing, applying them to Xiao Hongchen. However, this time, instead of spreading out in every direction as before, the Spiritual Power extended continuously in a single direction under his control.

Only after it reached roughly one hundred and fifty meters did that extension finally stop.

"If I cover the entire area around me, I can currently only manage a diameter of fifty meters. But if I only detect in one direction, I can easily reach around one hundred and fifty meters."

"Also, the range of my Mental Detection isn't fixed. When I first obtained this soul skill, I could only manage a diameter of thirty meters. But now, you've experienced it yourself."

As Huo Yuhao's voice echoed by his ear and Xiao Hongchen felt the power of Mental Detection, he could not help but throw an arm around Huo Yuhao's shoulders and shout.

"Yuhao, from today onward, you're my brother from another mother and father! At the Sun Moon Imperial Soul Engineer Academy, I've got your back! I guarantee no one will disrupt your studies! Even if we have to go to war, all you need to do is activate your Mental Detection and Mental Sharing, stack yourself with Invincible Barriers, and stand behind me! You'll never need to trouble yourself with fighting!"

Xiao Hongchen's declaration: Cheating? What cheating? A big cheat counts as a small cheat, and a small cheat doesn't count as cheating. As long as I don't turn it off, then it was never on! I, Xiao Hongchen, am not cheating!!!
