"This water..." He finished the bowl of water Ling Yi handed him.
Ling Yun could clearly feel a warm current rising in her stomach, which then traveled throughout her body, and her previously weak body regained its strength.
"Sister, I can't explain these things to you right now." Ling Yi naturally couldn't tell you about the system.
He didn't want to fool Ling Yun.
That's why I said that.
For Ling Yun, Ling Yi is her younger brother, so she naturally trusts him unconditionally. But for Ling Yi, this older sister is still somewhat unfamiliar, and he needs some time to get used to her.
"Everyone in the village has left. We now have two choices: leave or stay," Ling Yi changed the subject.
"But whether we leave or stay, I can guarantee we'll survive."
Ling Yun was just an ordinary Peasant School girl, but she didn't know what to do for a moment.
If I leave, where will I go?
But staying isn't the best option either.
Then he looked at Ling Yi: " Little Yi, what do you think?"
"We lack information from the outside world right now, and leaving rashly is not the best option," Ling Yi said slowly, stroking his chin.
"The village has just been looted, and given its remote location, it's unlikely that any more bandits will appear anytime soon."
"Therefore, for now, staying in the village is actually safer."
Ling Yun looked at Ling Yi, who was speaking eloquently, and felt somewhat unfamiliar with him.
Keep in mind, Ling Yi was only a four or five-year-old Luobotou.
These words and actions were indeed too mature and somewhat inconsistent with Ling Yi's current age.
" Little Yi, you..." Ling Yun looked at Ling Yi, hesitating to speak.
Ling Yi had anticipated his sister's condition.
Before leaving, Ling Yi had already thought about what to say.
"Sister, when I was on the verge of death, I had a long dream." Ling Yi's voice was young, but extremely steady and strong.
With a strange tone and rhythm.
This is a type of advanced Hypnosis that can subtly influence a person's mind through sound.
In my dream, I came to a world like that of gods, where everyone had enough to eat, clothes to wear, and beautiful houses to live in...
Ling Yi described Blue Star from his previous life to Ling Yun.
This immediately filled Ling Yun's heart with longing and curiosity.
Airplanes capable of carrying people, submarines capable of diving into the sea, and high-speed trains capable of traveling thousands of miles a day.
In Ling Yun's imagination, wasn't this the kind of ability only immortals could possess—the Earth Escape?
Brother, this must be his dying breath, his soul ascending to the Immortal Realm?
There are also vernacular novels in this world.
Although Ling Yun had never seen a storybook before, and didn't even know many characters.
Now he can only write his own name.
But the village chief of Little Ye Village had been to big cities and seen the world.
He often tells folk tales to the villagers.
This includes stories similar to the Ling Yi is currently recounting.
If one is Luck to be in a state of near-death, their soul can enter the Immortal Realm.
However, the Immortal Realm in the storybook is quite different from the immortal Immortal Realm Ling Yi described.
"I've lived in this world for over forty years and learned many tricks of the trade. With these tricks, I'm sure I can ensure my sister lives a good life with me."
"Then, dear brother, what immortal techniques did you learn from the Immortal Realm?" Ling Yun asked with some anticipation.
Ling Yi blinked. "So quick to accept things?"
They didn't doubt it at all?
And, immortal techniques?
Does such magical power still exist in this world?
That...
Should we reveal our ability to upgrade everything?
After a brief hesitation, Ling Yi flipped his hand, and a short bow with a broken shaft appeared out of thin air in his hand.
"Sister, I've learned two methods in total."
Ling Yi ultimately decided to reveal his abilities.
Since Ling Yi took over the body of the original owner, he must bear the Karma of that body's actions.
For a considerable period of time afterward, he would be living with Ling Yun.
Ling Yun is not stupid; on the contrary, she is quite intelligent.
Ling Yi can keep it a secret for a while, but not for long.
It would be better to be open and honest now.
As for the future, we'll talk about that later.
Right now, let's focus on getting my sister alive.
Ling Yun was shocked to see Ling Yi conjure a broken bow out of thin air.
"This is my first method: storage space. It can store everything in the storage space."
Ling Yun exclaimed with delight, "It really is the work of a celestial being!"
"And the second method is to upgrade everything."
As he spoke, Ling Yi asked the system in his mind, "Can this broken bow be upgraded?"
Ling Yi asked this because he was worried that the broken bow was not within the scope of the system upgrade.
But then, the system's notification sound made Ling Yi excitedly pump his fist.
[Ding! You can consume 1 Upgrade Points to upgrade the broken bow. Upgrade option 1: 100-jin longbow; Upgrade option 2: 50-jin crossbow.]
After a moment's hesitation, Ling Yi chose the hand crossbow.
Although the hand crossbow's lethality is reduced by half, it is simpler to use compared to the longbow.
Anyone who can pull the trigger can fire a crossbow bolt.
The command was confirmed.
A flash of golden light appeared in Ling Yi's broken bow.
After the golden light faded, the broken bow disappeared, replaced by a small hand crossbow.
The crossbow was less than a foot long and very light.
The grip is long, but the bolt groove is short, and the string looks rather thin.
However, there are no crossbows available now, so it's impossible to test their power.
Moreover, it's too late now; even if Tianse wanted to make crossbows, they'd have to wait until tomorrow.
"Wow, that's amazing!" Ling Yun looked curiously at the crossbow in Ling Yi's hand.
He had a look on his face that said, "I want to play!"
Ling Yi couldn't help but laugh and shoved the crossbow into Ling Yun's hand.
"This is a hand crossbow. Tomorrow we'll make some bolts. See this quiver? Put the bolt in, pull the string taut, and then pull the trigger like this to fire the bolt."
"Its lethality should be pretty good. Tomorrow I can use it to explore the back mountain and see if I can find some prey."
"The back mountain?" Ling Yun shook her head.
"It's going to be hard to find prey in the back mountains. The village's tiger hunters have already hunted down most of the prey in the outer areas. If we want to get prey, we'll have to go deeper."
"And deep in the mountains, there are large Beast such as tigers and leopards, making it too dangerous."
Ling Yun cupped Ling Yi's face earnestly and said, "Little brother, promise me you won't go deep into the back mountain, okay?"
The reason Ling Yun acted this way was because a few years ago, she had personally witnessed someone go hunting in the back mountains and be killed by Tiger, whose body was eaten down to just some broken bones.
The scene was terrifying.
This made Ling Yun feel terrified every time she thought about the back mountain.
"Don't worry, sister, I'll do what I can."
"Also, please don't do that, okay? I'm not a child." Ling Yi blushed slightly as she pushed Ling Yun's hand away.
"You're only five years old, how can you not be a child anymore?" Ling Yun saw Ling Yi's shy expression and pinched Ling Yi Ling Yi had pushed her hand away.
"Sister, I lived in that world for over forty years in my dreams."
"That's true. If we're talking about age, you are indeed not young anymore."
After a pause, Ling Yun asked, " Little Yi, during your forty years in the Immortal Realm, were you able to marry and have children?"
Ling Yi shook her head. "No, I've always been single."
"Really not?"
"No, I really didn't." Ling Yi indeed did not marry or have children in his previous life.
Due to the nature of her work, Ling Yi has a very small social circle and is always in a state of mental tension.
They frequently walk the line between life and death.
He simply didn't have time to get married and have children.
"Then, have you ever had a woman you liked?" Ling Yun asked again.
Ling Yi paused. A woman he admired? Of course, he had.
Unfortunately, having lived two lives, it seems unlikely we will ever meet again.
He shook his head and said, "The affairs of the Immortal Realm are nothing but a dream, not to be taken seriously."
