Although Xing Yuan's strength had reached the divine realm, Xing Yue did not want her to act too much. Instead, she wanted to rely on her own efforts to find opportunities.
Everything has its cause and effect. Today, they could indeed use their power to suppress others, but who could have predicted what price they might have to pay for it in the future? Xing Yue was unwilling to let A Yuan take risks for opportunities that her own abilities could secure.
However, Xing Yuan did not feel her sister's good intentions at all. Now that her strength was finally greater, she naturally had a strong desire to show off. She wanted to show her sister how useful she was now.
Thus, every day Xing Yue would receive strange "gifts" from Xing Yuan, obtained from who knows where.
Although many of these things were useful to her, there was no need to collect such a motley assortment! It was exactly like a child who had finally grown up, wanting to show their elders that they had matured.
Xing Yuan eagerly asked, "Sister, am I good to you?"
Xing Yue did not speak and went directly into seclusion. Impossible! Looking at her bright, smiling face would remind her of past events, making her mood very bad.
As soon as Xing Yue finished her seclusion and opened her eyes, she saw Xing Yuan leaning in front of her, staring at her, her tail and ears twitching gently.
"Sister, you're out of seclusion? Why didn't you talk to me before?" Xing Yuan was so worried that her beastly features had appeared. She didn't know what she had done wrong recently. Ever since she had transformed, her sister had been acting strangely towards her.
"No, it's just that I feel I should cultivate harder," Xing Yue's tone was slightly stiff, but her gaze was unconsciously drawn to Xing Yuan's beast ears and fluffy tail, which looked very pleasant to touch!
Xing Yue forcefully suppressed her restless hands with her willpower, but Xing Yuan, with an innocent face, leaned in, directly placing her head in front of her for a caress, just like before.
Xing Yue gently pinched Xing Yuan's beast ears with one hand and lightly poked Xing Yuan's face with the other.
"It tickles!" Xing Yuan flinched slightly and unnaturally retracted her ears.
Xing Yue's eyes instantly deepened, and her voice became husky as she said, "Be a good girl, A Yuan~ Stretch out your ears for me to touch, and I'll give you a gift later."
"Alright then!" Xing Yuan hesitated for a moment before agreeing. If merely having her ears touched could make her sister happy, then it was an honor for her ears.
It was just, it was really quite ticklish! Xing Yuan's ear tips turned red, and she closed her eyes, not looking at Xing Yue. She didn't know if it was because of her transformation, but her senses had become more acute after taking on her beast form.
"There!" Seeing Xing Yuan's discomfort, Xing Yue couldn't bear to let her suffer too much. After a brief indulgence, she reluctantly let go of her hands.
"Mhm," Xing Yuan nodded gently, and her ears, along with her tail, were instantly retracted.
"The gift!" Xing Yuan urged, worried that her sister would go back on her word.
"Yes~ I've already prepared it for you," Xing Yue chuckled and took out a jade box from her storage space.
"Open it and see if you like it. I spent a long time making it." Xing Yue's eyes were full of anticipation. When she made it, she had no other thoughts, but now, she thought about it, this item seemed to have other uses, though A Yuan might not understand her intentions.
"Mhm, mhm." Xing Yuan eagerly opened the jade box. Inside was a sapphire-blue ring that seemed to emanate the scent of the sea from afar.
"This is the storage ring I promised you. I specially made it the same color as your eyes. Do you like it, A Yuan?"
Xing Yue's gaze flickered. When she made it, she had indeed just considered it a storage ring, but now that she had some other thoughts in her heart, this could naturally serve as a token of affection.
She was not usually a timid person, but for some reason, this time she did not dare to voice her true feelings. After all, before this, she had always treated A Yuan as a child, and she couldn't change her mindset so quickly.
Moreover, she was also not sure if the matter that A Yuan had done while not in her right mind was truly what she felt, but deep down, perhaps she really did consider her as a sister.
"I like it!" Xing Yuan was overjoyed and kissed Xing Yue on the cheek.
Xing Yue watched Xing Yuan try on the ring with each finger, her brow furrowed as she pondered where to wear it. She proactively suggested, "Why don't you wear it on your right middle finger, A Yuan? I usually like to wear it there."
"Okay!" Xing Yuan readily accepted her sister's suggestion. The ring was put on and automatically adjusted to the appropriate size.
Watching Xing Yuan admiring the ring, Xing Yue quietly moved her own ring to her right middle finger as well. This was a small selfish act. Although she couldn't openly express her feelings, she could hint at them subtly, even if Xing Yuan might never know the meaning behind wearing a ring on the right middle finger.
"There! Sister's gift is really beautiful. Where are we going next?" Xing Yuan asked with a smile, radiating an aura of pure joy.
Her usually somewhat foolish smile in Xing Yue's eyes now seemed exceptionally charming. Was this the effect of love making everyone beautiful?
"Next..." Xing Yue pondered for a moment, "Why don't we head towards the core of the Myriad Races Realm!"
"Although the Myriad Races Realm is vast, the most important opportunities are in the core. What's here are merely scraps that are of little use to me."
"Okay!" Xing Yuan unconditionally supported all of her sister's opinions.
"Sister~" Xing Yuan fidgeted, "Can I sit on your back? I'll carry you there."
"What?" Xing Yue looked surprised, scrutinizing Xing Yuan carefully. Although her strength had improved significantly and her speed was certainly faster than hers, it still felt a bit inappropriate to sit on her back!
"Come on, come on! I saw that bird carrying its master on its back before. I'm so much stronger than him and fly faster, so of course, I should let Sister experience it."
Xing Yuan's desire to show off was extremely strong and unyielding. Moreover, from the memories she had obtained, she knew one thing: no one in the world had ever sat on the back of a Ying Tian Beast. Sister could be the first.
Unable to refuse such earnestness, Xing Yuan would look heartbroken and stand facing the wall as if in punishment if Xing Yue refused. Xing Yue couldn't bear it and could only allow Xing Yuan to transform into her original form and carry her towards the center of the Myriad Races Realm.
It was rumored that there lay the method to achieve the divine realm, but it was also a hunting ground. Only the final victor would obtain that legendary method.
