"That's not the case. Even if you are cousins, you can still be together. Brother doesn't care about things like blood relations!"

Mu Lengxi had written that line on the board.

Mu Yuesheng's expression changed drastically when she saw that. A drop of sweat oozed out of her forehead.

Brother doesn't care about things like blood relations?

Wait a moment, what was the meaning behind those words?

Why did Mu Lengxi believe that Speechless thought nothing about blood relations? Could it be that Speechless had done something to her that ignored their blood relations? Or else, why would she say such words?

"Why do you say so? Could it be...Could it be that Speechless did something to you?"

Mu Yuesheng immediately turned flustered.

Mu Lengxi immediately shook her head and turned the writing board to face her and began scribbling once again.

Mu Yuesheng felt like a cat on hot bricks. She felt as if the strokes on the writing board were scratching at her heart.

What was going on?

To say that he did not care about blood relations was terrifying upon careful thought.

Not long later, the writing board turned around once again.

Mu Yuesheng hurriedly focused and it read, "Brother did not do anything to me. It's just that Brother has always liked Little Aunt! He kept insisting that he will marry Little Aunt in the future and that he doesn't care about blood relations!"

Mu Yuesheng was surprised. Speechless liked his Little Aunt? That meant...he liked his mother's younger sister?

Eh!?

Wait!

If she did not remember wrong...

"If I recall correctly, Speechless and your little aunt is that person right? The Mu family's strongest person, one of the top ten S-class heroes in China. Mu Xiyan that has the title of 'Queen'." Mu Yuesheng swallowed a mouthful of saliva.

"That's right! Little Aunt is very strong and she's very pretty. Brother often says that Little Aunt is the number one beauty in China. He would not marry anyone else but her," wrote Mu Lengxi.

"Wait...if I remember correctly, Mu Xiyan is now twenty-eight years old, right? Their age gap is more than ten years. Eh, could it be just a joke? Right, it must be only a joke right? Things like marrying my father when I grow up. A joke like that?" said Mu Yuesheng.

Mu Lengxi shook her head and suddenly turned solemn. She wrote, "It's not a joke. Brother was serious. For Little Aunt, Brother had rejected the confessions of many girls. Brother really likes Little Aunt although it has always been one-sided. However, Brother made a confession last year!"

As the writing board could not contain all her words, Mu Lengxi's stunning words stopped at a cliffhanger.

"Confession? That can't be...Was...was it successful?"

Mu Yuesheng nervously held her breath.

This time, Mu Lengxi did not nod or shake her head in reply. Instead, she took her sweet time writing on the board. It was as if she wanted a particular girl to die of anxiousness.

After a few moments, she stopped writing and raised her board. "Of course he failed! Erh, back then, I had actually peeped in hiding. After Brother confessed, Little Aunt was very angry. She gave him a thorough beating, sending him into the hospital for half a month! Erh, I was rather far away back then. Little Aunt had lowered her voice and said something I couldn't hear. But it was definitely a rejection. Brother suffered quite a setback and remained gloomy for months."

"A thorough beating... It does sound like what the rumored 'Queen' would do."

Mu Yuesheng wiped the sweat from her forehead while she remained unsure of what to make out of it.

However, Mu Lengxi immediately wrote, "So, Brother doesn't care about blood relations. Things like cousins not being able to be together, no way!"

In order to comfort her elder cousin, she had dug out her brother's hidden past. Such a sister was sick!

"Speechless has never changed after all. He always does something that I want to do but never dare to. Even things like a confession...If..."

If she knew earlier, would she have mustered the courage to confess?

But, such an if was just an if.

With the present situation, nothing could be changed no matter how much regret there was. She no longer had the chance to tell the boy of the truth in her heart.

Mu Yuesheng suddenly felt very upset. In the end, all she could do was chase after his back, but she did not have the courage to do whatever she wanted like him.

Mu Yuesheng fell into silence once again. The gloomy penthouse that managed to finally have a bit of liveliness was once again shrouded by a dead silence.

Blood relations might be traversable, but what about the distance between life and death?

Speechless was dead.

That was the truth.

Such a truth was really cruel...

Mu Yuesheng felt her eyes felt a tinge once again as her vision gradually blurred. It appeared as if those irritating tears were about to well again.

Suddenly, she felt her right palm warming up with a soft touch.

Mu Yuesheng looked down and saw Mu Lengxi's right hand grabbing her hand.

Looking up, she saw Mu Lengxi's pretty and pallid face with smeared marks from her tears. But now, she was beaming with a gentle smile.

That smile seemed to say—Don't cry Sister. I'm here.

Ah...

Despite her being a younger sister and how I should be the one comforting you, why did it turn out to be you comforting me?

Ah, how odd.

How odd.

But!

But!

But, it's so warm...

Mu Yuesheng wiped the corners of her eyes and stretched out her hand to hold onto her sister's other hand.

"Erh...shall we have a chat?"

Thank you.

In that cold room, there is still you for us to mutually exchange warmth.

It's nice.

...

...

Outside the Infernal King's bedroom, Pulp Farmer and Feng Yuanlin were standing on each side of the door. They were leaning against the wall with their eyes closed to rest their minds. However, none of them were completely relaxed. Instead, their ears were pricked up in alertness.

Shi Xiaobai was still unconscious and he was sleeping inside the bedroom.

And at that moment, there were two women responsible for taking care of the unconscious Shi Xiaobai.

The two of them were terrifying women from a particular point of view. They were Sunless Ye and the Infernal Queen.

These two women shared a room and simultaneously bore the burden to tend to Shi Xiaobai, such as wiping and cleaning his body, It was unknown if such welfare, erh, that's wrong. It was unknown if such a mission would result in them coming to blows. It was a matter that was truly difficult to predict.

Hence, in order to stop them in a timely fashion when they came to blows, Feng Yuanlin and Pulp Farmer took up the important role as guards for the past three days.

The duo were actually beginning to doze off because the two women in the room were surprisingly cordial. They did not come to blows in the three days, and it was unknown what was happening inside the room. Therefore, it was impossible to imagine how they got along with each other and who gained victory at splitting...the roles of taking care of Shi Xiaobai's body.

Well...it was truly a curious matter.

At that moment, an exclamation was suddenly heard inside the room.

"Darling!"

It was the Infernal Queen's voice.

"You've finally awakened!"

That was the Infernal Queen's delighted voice.

Pulp Farmer and Feng Yuanlin immediately widened their eyes as they looked each other in the eye with a tacit understanding.

"Boss Shi Xiaobai has woken up?"

"Shi Xiaobai has finally woken up!"

After three days, everything had undergone tumultuous changes.

Shi Xiaobai had finally awoken!
