196: Chapter 196 The Promise with My Sister
This sword killed people to absorb blood, and then used a talent to unleash the absorbed blood energy through the Beast Tamer.
During this process, the absorbed blood energy underwent a transformation inside the person's body.
This avoided energy conflicts.
It also caused some impact on the human body.
If used by someone without a strong will, it might really turn into something harmful, but...
Li Yu looked at Chen Qing and saw that her expression was calm.
If it were Chen Qing, it should be fine. As such a powerful expert, her willpower was not something that the blood soul sword could affect.
Thinking of this, Li Yu breathed a sigh of relief.
At the same time, he smiled, as he thought of a good thing.

"Your ID card, admission ticket, and thermos are all in your backpack, but you should check them again before you leave. Oh, that's right, and your 2B pencils."
"Set several alarms for the morning and wake up early to eat a steamed bun. Forget about the milk; otherwise, it will be troublesome if you get diarrhea halfway through the exam."
"Read the questions carefully during the exam. Remember to write your name and admission ticket number first. Every year, there are some idiots who forget to write them and end up crying in the restroom."
"Of course, Mengmeng definitely won't be like that, haha..."
Nighttime, at home. Li Yu checked the things Li Meng needed for the College Entrance Examination tomorrow over and over again—admission ticket, ID card, thermos, stationery, and he even prepared disposable rain boot covers and a raincoat.
He had checked them three times, four times? Or was it five? Li Yu couldn't remember. After zipping up the backpack, he felt uneasy, so he unzipped it and checked it again. The sixth time.
Everything was confirmed to be correct. After putting the backpack away, he looked back at his sister's room. The lights were on, but there was not a sound inside.
Li Yu couldn't help but sigh, cursing that bastard Qi Mao eight hundred times in his heart.
At first, he told Li Meng that he was going on a business trip to another city to breed a big shot's beast and couldn't see her off. Li Meng believed him. Although she felt regretful, she accepted it and told her brother to work hard and not to worry. What a good child...
But it wasn't long after. Qi Mao posted a livestream video online, triggering public outcry. Li Meng naturally couldn't avoid it. Upon seeing the video, she finally realized that her brother wasn't going on a business trip at all, but to the ruins. And then, things ended up like this.
Ever since he came back, she had locked herself in her room and ignored him. Occasionally, she would come out to use the restroom, and if Li Yu blocked her, she would just silently shed tears, causing Li Yu to panic and quickly step aside.
Knock, knock~ Li Yu went to his sister's door and knocked gently. "Um... I won't come in, I just want to say a few words," Li Yu said.
There was a very faint sound of turning over in the room, followed by silence. Li Yu tentatively used the Spirit Diagram Armor talent for two seconds. A cartoon image of his sister inside appeared in his mind, and in that image, his sister was a teary-eyed cartoon character.
Damn that Qi Mao, I'll @#￥ your grandfather, I'll %@￥#% your ancestors! Li Yu cursed in his heart. Calm down, calm down...
Li Yu said, "The Blood Refining Ruins chose me, and I also find it quite baffling. But there's no way around it; if I don't go when the time comes, I'll be teleported in. You wouldn't want your brother to die in there without knowing what's going on, right?"
"I kept it from you because I was afraid you'd worry. It would be fine normally, but this time it's the College Entrance Examination. What if you get distracted and fail the exam? Of course... this is also my fault; I was too arrogant."
"Mengmeng, brother is leaving soon. Remember to lock the front door when you sleep at night, and also... don't hate brother too much. Brother really has no choice."
Li Yu didn't overthink it, speaking from the heart, saying whatever came to mind. As he said this, the door suddenly opened with a "click." Li Meng rushed out and buried herself in Li Yu's arms, her whole body trembling violently, emitting low sobs.
"I, I'm sorry... *hic*~ I'm sorry, brother..." While crying, Li Meng accidentally hiccuped, and her face turned bright red immediately.
"Ha~ So you don't hate me anymore? You're not angry anymore?" Li Yu laughed.
Li Meng didn't lift her head and said with a thick nasal tone, "I never... hated you in the first place."
Hearing this, Li Yu immediately laughed. His hearty laughter echoed in the living room, sweeping away the sorrow and oppression before parting. However, suddenly, his laughter turned into a scream. "Ouch! Are you a dog?"
After Li Meng pulled back, Li Yu looked at his wet shirt and the clear tooth marks on it, finding himself momentarily unable to laugh or cry.
Li Meng sniffed and said, "So what if I am? What are you going to do about it?"
"Fine, fine, fine, you're a dog then." Li Yu was helpless; it was his own sister, so he would just let her do as she pleased.
Li Meng walked to the coffee table, opened the backpack, and looked inside. With a dark expression, she said, "Brother, you took the admission ticket for the High School Entrance Examination."
"That can't be, right?" Li Yu walked over and looked closely. Whoa! It really was the High School Entrance Examination ticket. He was immediately speechless.
"It must have been Chen Qing who put it there. How could I make such a low-level mistake?" Li Yu said with a straight face. Chen Qing outside the door: ??? Should I leave?
In the end, Li Meng swapped in the College Entrance Examination admission ticket and even stuffed some things into the backpack that Li Yu hadn't thought of but were necessary to bring. Throughout the process, Li Yu looked embarrassed.
Good grief. It was a good thing Mengmeng checked. Otherwise, if he had really left with that backpack tomorrow, he would have become the protagonist of another major news story—following forgetting the admission ticket and going to the wrong exam venue—taking the wrong admission ticket.
"Alright." Li Meng patted the bulging backpack and looked at Li Yu. Her slightly swollen eyes filled with tears once again. She took a deep breath and said, "I will do my best in the College Entrance Examination, and brother must do your best too! Just like playing video games when we were little, defeat the BOSS and come back safely."
"It's a deal." "It's a deal!" Slap! The siblings high-fived, both wearing smiles of helplessness and relief.
Leaving the house, Chen Qing was already waiting at the door. The two walked down the stairs until they disappeared from Li Meng's sight. She sat slowly on the floor, hugging the Purple Light Sable, lost in a daze.
These past few days, she had researched so much information about the ruins. Every time she saw those cases of death and saw the dangers in the ruins, Li Meng's heart felt like it was being tightly gripped by something. Thinking of her brother, a Breeder with no combat power, being dragged into such a dangerous place, Li Meng felt terrified. She was afraid... she was afraid her brother wouldn't come back...
