Unlike his sister’s strong gift, he had a magic vessel and because of his affinity to magic, he couldn’t store any of it, so once he leaves his sister side, he was useless!
His sister already found the right way to use her power and conquered her internal demons. Now it was his turn, what should he do?
He didn’t want to become a useless person that constantly needed to be protected.
Yao Zi suddenly noticed that after their talk, his mood didn’t improve, rather he looked more depressed. She couldn’t help but blame herself as she put on a smile and changed the subject.
“Hehe, okay, let’s talk about something happy… right, I have good news!”
“Good news? What…”
“Did you know, I already broke through to the sixth-level!”
“Eh? T-that quickly?”
“Hehe, of course! To tell you the truth, I’ve been forgetting to meditate so my magic power hasn’t increased. I was bored recently so I mediated a bit and didn’t expect to suddenly break through! How about you, did you also break through already?”
“Me?”
Xiao Tian snapped out of it when he heard his sister’s questions and felt the changes in his magic power as he released some ice magic into the air. The transparent ice ball quickly exploded into mist.
“The magic power seems more pure? It’s fifth-level magic, but the casting also seems much smoother, it’s completely different than before… as expected, I also entered the sixth-level.”
“You’re amazing! Even though you don’t have the bloodline talent, but our levels are always the same. I’ve reached the sixth-level and you have as well, these are the results of your hard work!”
“Results of my hard work… heh.”
Did he really rely on hard work to catch up to his sister?
No, he didn’t put in any work!
Ever since finding out the truth about his constitution, he hasn’t meditated at all and his magic power has remained the same, yet for some reason his magic power increased again to maintain at the same level as his sister, what did this mean? This meant that Nick wasn’t lying and that he wasn’t able to store any magic power himself.
“So Nick wasn’t lying, what he said was true…”
As he recalled the warning and invitation Nick gave him, he had mixed feelings and his internal demons began to gradually sprout.
“…”
Yao Zi looked at her brothers depressed expression and didn’t know how to console him.
Nothing bad should happen during this last mission, right?
Well… as long as Lin Xiao is there, even if something does happen, he would surely figure out something, right?
That’s right! He’ll definitely do something! Since he could help her with her internal demons, he can surely help her brother return to his usual self! So she didn’t have to worry and just trust him.
And so, the siblings carried their own worries as they headed off to meet up with Lin Xiao.
…
…
Lin Xiao naturally didn’t know of the problems the siblings were facing and didn’t know whether he would be able to live up to Yao Zi’s expectations to help her brother find himself again, because he was still fast asleep!
“Pervert, today is the day, get up!”
As a noble red-eyed black cat, Elena still had good habits and slept and woke up early, but Lin Xiao still had a bad habit of sleeping in and she couldn’t stand it!
“Yao Zi and Xiao Tian definitely left already and should arrive at the gates soon, yet you’re still here sleeping… how long do you plan on making them wait?”
“Hm… it’s fine, you won’t get pregnant just by waiting, let me sleep a bit more.” Lin Xiao yawned and turned over to continue sleeping.
“Hah? Do you still not want to get up!”
Elena had enough as she got ready to rip off his blankets and drag him off the bed.
But… when she grabbed hold of his blanket, she suddenly remembered what happened last time she tried pulling his blankets off.
That time, in order to prevent her from pulling off his blankets, he didn’t wear any clothes and when she pulled it off, she saw a nasty image.
Though it wasn’t her first time seeing him like that, but according to him, he was a healthy human male, in all areas! But that had nothing to do with her!
Because they weren’t married and it’s not like she had to do a premarital inspection, so… it didn’t matter!
That’s right, definitely not! Never in this lifetime!
So, before she could even pull his blankets off, her head was filled with perverted thoughts and blushed because of her imagination.
“Hm… Elena?”
It was like Lin Xiao could feel the hormones as he slowly woke up. He rolled over and looked at Elena who was blushing and he instantly woke up.
“What, what? Is this the gentle maid morning call? But in the cartoons, the maids would always wake their masters up gently, so why are you standing next to me with a flushed face, what kind of service is this? You’re not taking this seriously enough!”
“Hah? You want me to wake you up gently? What are you talking about, you pervert? Why do I have to do something disgusting like that?”
“Disgusting? Hmph, don’t underestimate morning calls! That’s the dream of every otaku, and it’s the best way for a maid to show her loyalty to her master! So… come on Elena, let’s do this again!”
“Wait… how do we do this again?”
“I’ll pretend to be asleep and you wake me up gently!”
“Hah? W-what did you say?”
“Don’t be shy… come on!”
Lin Xiao acted like he was lecturing her while slapping his bed like he was inviting her.
Seeing that, Elena shut her eyes and thought she was going to see something age restricted.
But after waiting a while she didn’t notice Lin Xiao moving, so she peeked at him and noticed that he was normally dressed as he was lazily getting up while shaking his head.
“How dare you trick me!?”
“Then? Would you be happy if I were serious? Or… are you saying that you were expecting something?”
“No! You pervert, I…”
“Elena, that’s not right… did you forget what you promised me?”
“I promised… promised… okay, m-master! Is that okay!?”
Elena remembered her promised as she reluctantly bit her lips and fulfilled her promise.
Though she just fell into Lin Xiao’s trap! Because those were actors and even if she didn’t agree to Lin Xiao’s request, he would never take them.
But, a promise was a promise, and she had to keep her word.
“Hehe, that’s better… you sure are cute when you call me master!”
Lin Xiao was in a much better mood after hearing that and got ready to leave!
“Finish off Nick asap, find the holy sword to cure sister Ying, then give the tomboy an answer, then this trip is over! But… sigh, I really don’t know how to respond to her.”
“Per… uh no, master, I don’t understand, why do you have to wait until you come back to give Claire an answer?”
“Because I still haven’t thought about how to reject her so she doesn’t cry.”
“Reject?”
Elena thought about what happened and couldn’t help but ask.
“But why do you have to reject Claire? Can’t you just agree?”
“Hm? … Right! Why do I have to reject her?”
