The Ice Queen's Question! What did you do to my sister?!

That voice was bone-chillingly cold.

It felt as if it could freeze one's very Soul.

In that instant, the temperature of the entire room plummeted to below freezing.

Avrora's body stiffened abruptly.

Her pretty face, which had just regained some color, turned deathly pale in a flash.

It's over!

Sister is truly angry!

She was like a little girl caught red-handed trying on her mother's high heels; her mind went blank, and she didn't know where to put her hands and feet.

The playful look on Lin Yuan's face also receded slightly.

He lifted his eyelids and glanced at the imposing Ice Goddess standing at the doorway, radiating Evil Qi.

Agatha's gaze was like two invisible ice blades, locked firmly onto Lin Yuan.

That look was full of vigilance, scrutiny, and a hint of... a solemnity she hadn't even noticed herself, the kind one felt when facing an unknown, powerful enemy.

Although reason told her that Your Excellency Lin Yuan was her sister's savior and would never do anything out of line.

However, the impact of the scene before her eyes was simply too strong.

Late at night.

A man and a woman alone in a room.

Her sister was even wearing a thin nightgown, her face flushed red and her expression frantic.

Anyone who saw this would think the wrong thing.

“...”

Looking at her 'I caught you' expression, Lin Yuan was momentarily speechless.

He actually admired himself a little now.

How long had it been?

He had already made one sister overthink things and the other explode with jealousy.

He hadn't even done anything!

“Sister, I... let me explain!”

Just as the atmosphere was becoming increasingly stiff, Avrora finally found her voice.

She was so anxious she was about to cry, waving her hands repeatedly.

“It's not what you think! I... I just...”

She stammered for a long time, her small face flushing red, but she couldn't bring herself to say it.

She couldn't very well say in front of her sister that she had come to her savior to beg for a second divine medicine to eat as a snack, could she?

That would be too embarrassing!

“Just what?”

Agatha's voice remained cold.

Her gaze shifted from Lin Yuan to her sister's panicked face.

Seeing her sister's guilty appearance, her heart couldn't help but sink.

Could it be... truly... “I... I...”

Avrora was so anxious that tears were welling up in her eyes.

She glanced at the expressionless Lin Yuan, then at her sister who was radiating her full aura. She gritted her teeth, hardened her heart, and threw caution to the wind!

“I want to become stronger! I don't want to be a burden to sister anymore! So... so I came to ask Your Excellency Lin Yuan if he had any more of those... those jelly beans...”

By the time she finished, her voice was as faint as a mosquito's buzz.

She wanted nothing more than to bury her head in the ground.

“...”

Agatha was stunned.

The cold expression on her face instantly froze.

In those ice-blue eyes that had been filled with scrutiny and vigilance, a hint of... bewilderment emerged.

Following that was blankness.

Finally, it turned into an indescribable sense of being caught between laughter and tears.

Jelly beans?

She... her silly sister had run into Your Excellency Lin Yuan's room in the middle of the night wearing pajamas... just to... ask for another one of those divine medicines that could allow someone in the Huagang Realm to ascend to the heavens in a single step?!

In an instant.

Agatha felt her worldview being ruthlessly shattered once again by her sister.

How on earth did she end up with a sister so naive she was almost stupid?!

That was a Heaven Rank top-grade Medicinal Pill!

Did you think they were common cabbages?!

And you wanted another one?!

A strong surge of emotion, a mix of shame and speechlessness, welled up in her heart.

Agatha felt her cheeks burning hot.

Even hotter than when she had first seen the scene!

She took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the urge to pick up her sister and give her a spanking.

She slowly turned around to face Lin Yuan again.

Then, she withdrew her entire aura and performed a standard military salute once more.

“Your Excellency Lin Yuan, I am terribly sorry.”

Her voice was full of apology and embarrassment.

“It was my sister's lack of sense that disturbed you, and I also... misunderstood you.”

Looking at her expression, which looked like she wanted to find a hole to crawl into, Lin Yuan finally couldn't help but let the corner of his mouth curl slightly.

“It's no matter.”

He spoke indifferently.

“She's just a little girl.”

“...”

The corner of Agatha's mouth twitched imperceptibly.

Little girl?

Avrora is nearly a hundred years old this year.

And you... Your Excellency, your bone age seems to be less than thirty, right?

You're calling a woman who is more than three cycles older than you a 'little girl'?

Isn't this seniority a bit messed up?

Of course, she only dared to think such complaints in her heart.

She didn't dare say them out loud.

Just as she was too embarrassed to know how to respond.

Lin Yuan's voice rang out again.

“However, her desire to become stronger is genuine.”

His gaze fell upon Avrora, who was still hanging her head, not daring to look at anyone.

“In that case, starting from tomorrow, she can follow me.”

“I will give her some pointers.”

!!!

Agatha looked up abruptly!

In those ice-blue eyes, an unbelievable surge of wild joy instantly erupted!

Following by Your Excellency's side?

Receiving personal pointers from Your Excellency?!

This... what kind of god-given Opportunity was this?!

This was ten thousand times more precious than eating another ten nine-turn soul-returning pills!

She had thought Your Excellency Lin Yuan would be displeased by her sister's recklessness.

She never expected to receive such a promise, one that even she dreamed of!

“Your Excellency! Are you serious?!”

Agatha's voice trembled slightly with excitement.

Lin Yuan gave a non-committal nod.

“Thank you, Your Excellency!”

Agatha bowed deeply once more!

This time, it was from the heart, pure gratitude and awe!

She straightened up, her excitement plain for all to see.

Then, as if suddenly remembering something, her expression turned solemn.

“By the way, Your Excellency, there is one more thing.”

She took out an encrypted electronic file from her portable spatial equipment.

“Just now, the Alliance Supreme Command sent the latest directive.”

“After assessment, the high-level officials have unanimously decided to launch a general offensive against 'Black Stone Pass', which occupies the Second Pass of the demon suppressing system!”

“According to the plan, the Alliance will advance with three armies simultaneously.”

“The high-level officials hope to invite you to participate in this mission, I wonder...”

Agatha's face held a hint of inquiry and expectation.

After all, Lin Yuan's status was transcendent; he could completely ignore the Alliance's directives.

“I can.”

Lin Yuan's answer was simple and direct.

Black Stone Pass, huh.

It's about time I stretched my muscles a bit.
