She would only make things difficult for her.
Or rather, Su Zhao was intentionally and deliberately making things difficult for her.
Su Zhao knew full well what her own mischievous intentions were.
Evelyn was also perfectly aware of them.
Evelyn focused her gaze on her; her ice-blue eyes were like a frozen lake, congealed with ancient, eternal ice. On the lake’s surface, Su Zhao’s tiny reflection was clearly cast.
Her voice was exceptionally soft as she slowly asked, “Where can we go?”
She knew of her mischievous intentions, yet she indulged Su Zhao’s willfulness, indulging her little tantrums and moods.
Under her perceptive gaze, Su Zhao felt an awkwardness, like a child caught in the act of wrongdoing by her sister. At the same time, she felt a sense of triumph from being protected and pampered by her sister.
She counted on her fingers, gesturing excitedly.
“We could travel across the entire continent, become free-spirited adventurers, go exploring in various perilous zones, and discover those mysterious and dangerous places!”
“Just think about it, Sister. Every place would be fresh, and every secret realm would hide unknown surprises, and how thrilling would that be?”
“We could go to the Moonlight Coast. I have heard that at night, the light cast by the moon makes the entire surface of the sea ripple with silver, beautiful as a fairyland.”
“Maybe we could even meet the legendary mermaids.” As Su Zhao spoke, she began to hesitate, unsure. “I just do not know if the mermaids here have human heads and fish tails, or fish heads and human tails?”
Evelyn thought for a moment. “I have never seen a mermaid, but the Mermen are quite brutal. Their teeth are over an inch long, like steel nails, filling their mouths, and they are extremely terrifying.”
“The Mermen race all have fish heads and human tails. Although they are ugly in appearance, their strength is quite formidable. They are one of the great overlords of the seas; few people dare to provoke them.”
Su Zhao imagined the ferocious, terrifying deep-sea fish heads with mouths full of steel-nail teeth. As a beauty-obsessed person, she completely withered, losing all interest in this picturesque location, and could not wait to change the subject.
“When I get tired of being an adventurer, we can go to the Sun Forest and visit my elf friend together! She must have been waiting for me to visit her home for a long time.”
Evelyn’s expression was indifferent. “You certainly have many friends.”
Su Zhao felt restless and lowered her head with a guilty conscience.
To please her sister, she racked her brains for a moment and soon came up with a new strategy.
“And we have to go to the Underground Kingdom to visit the gnomes!”
“Since you gave your magic wand to me, Sister, and you have no wand to use for the time being, I will have them find the best craftsmen to forge a unique and incomparably powerful magic wand for you!”
Evelyn’s cold expression could no longer hold. Perhaps pleased by her naked attempts to curry favor, she smiled slightly and gently brushed her knuckles across the bridge of Su Zhao’s nose.
“It is kind of you to still think of me.”
Su Zhao straightened her back and patted her chest righteously. “Sister, what are you talking about? I have always kept you in the deepest part of my heart!”
“Whether I am eating or sleeping, I am thinking of you every single moment! In my heart, you are the most important person!”
Evelyn could not help but raise her head, glancing at the spot Su Zhao had been looking at just moments before. Being taller than Su Zhao, she did not have to stand on her tiptoes with as much effort as Su Zhao did.
“The most important person?”
Through the window of Box 12, she effortlessly spotted the clean peach pit and repeated with an unreadable expression, “Is that so?”
The voice was too soft, and Su Zhao did not hear it clearly. She clung to Evelyn’s shoulder, nagging and clingy, asking her to repeat it again.
Evelyn asked knowingly, “How do you think of me when you are asleep?”
“I think of you in my dreams.”
Su Zhao became more and more excited as she spoke. “My dreams are full of my sister’s face, my sister’s hands, my sister’s kisses, my sister’s care, and my sister’s love for me.”
Sure enough, after such passionate and straightforward words tumbled out, the Saintess, who usually kept people at a distance, stiffened slightly, then quietly turned her head away.
Her eyes stared straight ahead, deliberately avoiding eye contact with Su Zhao.
At this moment, from Su Zhao’s perspective, she could only see the Saintess’s exquisite and fair profile.
Her petal-like, delicate lips were gently bitten, leaving a small patch of vivid crimson, much like the peach blossoms just blooming on a branch in spring.
The Saintess’s snow-like white hair was scattered wantonly. A few strands hung down mischievously, her small ears buried by the hair, appearing and disappearing in the whiteness.
A cluster of blazing flames was quietly igniting from the roots of her ears, spreading rapidly. The earlobes, originally as round as white jade, were now stained with a hazy crimson blush.
The collision of red and white was a striking contrast.
“Evelyn.”
Su Zhao’s eyes were filled with irrepressible eagerness. That restless energy seemed to want to overflow from her eyes.
As if out of control, her hand reached out, eager to touch her white hair.
The Saintess’s hair was like the first snow that had just fallen in winter, delicate and soft. Her beautiful hair poured down from the top of her head, hanging smoothly and clinging intimately to Su Zhao’s slender shoulders.
Hearing this, Evelyn lowered her head and asked softly, “What is it?”
The movement of Su Zhao’s hand gradually stopped, and she gazed at her in a daze.
Before her was the real Evelyn. The image of the holy and noble Saintess gradually overlapped with the cold, aloof, and high-and-mighty figure Su Zhao had seen in the game’s CG.
The Evelyn in the CG was like the cold mist winding around a snowy mountain, light and ethereal. She simply stood there, and her whole body seemed to be automatically surrounded by a layer of sacred light, isolating her from everything around her.
It always made one feel that she did not belong to this world, but came from a distant and pure world.
Unattainable, one could only look up from afar.
However, the Evelyn in front of Su Zhao was so vivid and alive. She was a real existence of flesh and blood, full of emotion.
Just thinking about her aloofness toward others and her intimacy toward herself, Su Zhao could not help but be immersed in this blatant feeling of being favored, her brain completely addled by her sister’s sugar-coated bullets.
She happily and joyfully hugged her arm.
“I miss you so much, Sister! That is why I am calling you!”
Once she was in a good mood, Su Zhao was willing to forgive the whole world.
Evelyn had been avoiding her question, but Su Zhao pretended not to notice and magnanimously forgave her hesitation.
She generously made a concession.
“I can go back to the Summer Palace! But you have to send me back yourself, Sister!”
Evelyn: “Very well.”
Regardless of anything else, the goal of extending their time together had been achieved.
Su Zhao did not lose out in any way.
The barrier of Lanster City had disappeared, and the magic teleportation array was usable again.
Su Zhao dawdled, not wanting to return to the Summer Palace immediately, even if it meant staying with her sister for a moment longer. Evelyn took her to a city near Lanster City first.
Evelyn was a powerful mage with exquisite control over magic. She did not even need Su Zhao to walk, directly teleporting them to the City Lord’s mansion.
Carrying her was naturally impossible.
Su Zhao could only sigh as she looked at her sister’s slender shoulders.
Sister being too powerful.
Turns out, that can be a bit of a nuisance, too.
The local City Lord was only a minor noble, rarely seeing such big figures.
Trembling with fear and not daring to be negligent, he quickly arranged the best room for the two of them.
Once back on her own turf, Su Zhao’s nerves, which had been stretched taut, instantly relaxed. Her whole body seemed to be re-energized, and her spirits picked up immediately.
Her gaze involuntarily fell downward, landing on the long-stagnant favorability value, and then slowly swept around the room.
The right time, the right place, and the right people!
In the spacious room, only the two of them remained.
Su Zhao touched her belly. “Sister, I am a little hungry.”
Evelyn instructed her attendants to prepare a sumptuous meal.
Su Zhao touched her lower leg. “Sister, I am a little tired.”
Evelyn picked her up horizontally and sat her on the bed.
Su Zhao lay down obediently, turning her head to look at her with eyes full of anticipation.
“Sister, I am a little sleepy.”
The very reliable Evelyn fell silent.
The atmosphere in the room turned somewhat subtle.
While Su Zhao was still thinking about her favorability points and gloating over her own mischievous ideas, Evelyn walked to her side without a sound and stood looking down at her.
Those ice-blue eyes looked straight at her, seemingly filled with a faint chill, bringing an invisible sense of oppression that enveloped Su Zhao.
She spoke slowly, “Your Highness, is there a matter you have omitted and forgotten to tell me?”
Su Zhao: [Smile slowly disappearing.jpg]
A sudden sense of foreboding rose in Su Zhao’s heart. “What do you mean?”
Evelyn: “The Love Spell requires more than two hours of physical contact to be planted.”
“So, what is going on with the Love Spell on you?”
