Chapter 169 – Sister’s Candy

People are hazy in the rain.

Rain shatters on the ground.

A quiet setting always evokes memories deep in the heart.

It was the rain that never stopped throughout my life, from infancy to adolescence, and then from adolescence to young adulthood.

“Brother he, as usual, is so kind-hearted ……”

The girl holds an oil paper umbrella and waits quietly for the boy’s return.

It’s raining heavily.

So much so that the rain formed continuous white lines.

Pure eyes, reflecting the silent, rainy world, and the familiar figure.

To the girl, Department Xu was her older brother, a hero who would be the first to stand in front of her no matter what danger she encountered.

For a hero like that, for a brother like that.

As a young child, Xu Moli had been happy as could be.

It was the only thing she had to rely on, the only family to snuggle up to each other for warmth in the bitter cold of winter.

But at the same time, Xu Moli knew that a kind-hearted elder brother would lend a helping hand to others.

Jealous?

Actually, no.

Upon seeing the people of the Army of the Seeking Life, the girl was reminded of herself once upon a time, when she had the same compassion for the people, and secretly, exerted the law of health for them.

“That would make Brother happy, wouldn’t it?”

She laughed so.

But the smile was only momentary.

In fact, girls still have an unrealistic sense of fantasy to this day.

She couldn’t believe it.

The older brother who once would give her candy and run to different fairs to buy it.

The older brother who had once paid attention to her growth and had specially enrolled her in the clan’s early schooling.

The elder brother who had once endured the pain of digging out his own spiritual roots in order to save her.

Surprisingly, surprisingly, it’s really back.

And not the least bit blamed on her.

Still as before, she would gently stroke her head and comfort her in a soft tone so that she didn’t have to cry.

It really is like a dream ……

The rain is getting heavier and heavier, the young girl holding the oil paper umbrella, gradually lost some of her concentration.

Until the sound of footsteps growing clearer, and a shout from her older brother, both sounds intermingling, awakened the young girl who was wandering off.

“Mo Li, what brings you here?”

The Hsu system stepped forward.

Skillfully, he took the umbrella handle from the girl.

His movements were the same as always, and the umbrella was slightly slanted, covering Xu Moli’s figure just right to protect her from the wind and rain.

Though for the Eternal Supreme.

The storm would have been automatically avoided.

The young girl’s eyes, first looked to the umbrella surface above her head, and then to Xu System’s hand holding the umbrella’s handle.

She suddenly laughed and smiled brightly, “Just thought …… brother might need me, so here I am.”

Not for anything.

Much less an ulterior motive.

The female immortal’s answer was simple, merely wanting to help the Xu system.

As was once the case with the Xu system, there was no reason to help the girl.

Department Xu laughed, “Then you’ve made a trip for nothing, this time it’s a simple matter, I can solve it myself.”

No, not really.

Xu Moli looked at the Xu system beside him and felt the long-lost rain** line.

She felt that this outing today was not a wasted trip.

“Snap-“

“Snap-“

The duo walked on the slippery pavement.

It hasn’t been raining for long.

But potholes of varying sizes had formed on the road home, splashing with crisp cracks whenever you walked on them.

“Brother, what exactly are those people ……?”

On the way back to the courtyard.

Xu Moli asked the Xu system about where the people came from.

She knew something roughly in her mind, but she was more interested in hearing it from the Xu system.

“Uh, what to explain to you.”

The Xu system wanted to speak, stopped speaking, and gave a brief account of the third simulation.

“So it is ……”

“Is this what elder brother experienced in his last reincarnation ……”

The girl is unaware of the existence of the simulation.

But she could understand the principle.

Recognize all of the simulator as the reincarnation of the Xu system.

“Brother, it’s true that nothing has changed as before”, the female immortal’s tone carried a reassuring tone, and there was something nice about the smile at the corner of her mouth.

“Which one?” , the Hsu system asked.

“Always thinking about saving others, without the slightest consideration for yourself,” Xu Moli grunted softly.

“Brother, this is not good.”

The girl teaches the Xu family to think more about themselves in everything, not just others.

Though the girl herself was one of those saved by the Xu system.

But she wanted neither.

Nor would they.

Let the hero who faced the scorching sun and stepped on the thorns, fall once more with blood shed.

“Okay, I get it”, the Xu system didn’t retort, but instead reached out his empty hand and gently placed it on top of his sister’s head, rubbing it with a tiny amount of intensity.

The girl wasn’t really scolding him.

Rather, they were caring for him.

Who would get mad at her people for caring.

Then again, the Xu system and Xu Moli continued to walk and talked a lot in the crackling rain.

It was a past that belonged exclusively to them, a precious memory that no one else could replace.

Like life in Black Rock City.

The two siblings ate the large watermelon together, Mo Li ate until her stomach bulged, obviously very, very full, but her eyes still stared at the remaining watermelon.

In the end, it was only when Department Xu tapped her forehead that she obediently withdrew her gaze.

Another example is life in the Heavenly Sword Sect.

Girls who were a little older then.

At the same time when the rain was pouring down, one would stand at the entrance of the cave and patiently wait for the return of the Xu system.

Xu Xiang often felt his heart warm, and there was nothing more reassuring than seeing his well-behaved sister when he came home, but he would still teach Mo Li that she didn’t have to wait for him every time.

Chatting away.

The two had already traveled some distance.

Heavy rain has silenced the city, and the streets are lined with lights of varying colors.

The lights are interlaced, either brightly or dimly, creating a beautiful lightscape in the rain.

“Mo Li, wait.”

Seems to have seen something.

The Xu system stopped abruptly.

He told the girl to stay where she was while he walked into a roadside convenience store, and by the time he came out, he had a few more lollipops in his hand.

“Here.”

The lollipop was shoved into the girl’s hand.

Very common.

Incredibly common.

It’s just normal, roadside visible candy.

“Elder brother is so stupid ……,” Xu Moli muttered softly, feeling somewhat amused.

She had already transcended above the Immortal Emperors, a supreme who had attained the fruit of the Eternal Dao, but the Xu lineage still treated her like a child, habitually buying candy for her.

It’s really stupid to have an older brother like that ……

Also really like ……

Slender fingers gently pinched and tugged, removing the shell that encased the lollipop, and the girl’s lips parted lightly, feeling a little sweet as she took in the candy Xu’s system had given her.

“How was it, was it good?”

“Naturally, what my brother sends is delicious.”

The girl looked up as she answered.

The eyes seemed to look through the umbrella and the sky.

Saw something even more distant.

In fact, she had not only come to the Xu system this time because she wanted to help it, but also because of the inexplicable sense of urgency in her heart.

Something seems to be coming, and she can’t help but want to “protect her food”.

Ah, what a pain in the ass ……
