A week had gone by, after the events at the room, and it was the time for the Federation to officially announce the inheritance.
In this week, Ling Lan postponed her Qi exercise according to what her brother said. As a person who was bid ridden in her past life and already had a experience of meditating. She already touched the warm feeling that her brother was talking about, but still not enough to pull her inside of Soulscape.
She's astonished by this, it feels like that her big problem and the reason too that killed her in her past life is just a fever in front of this Soul Bead and Soulscape. Now, the only worries her is her brother.
Little Four was speechless by this. First he was stunned because the Qi exercise that his Boss that had done start from the inside of the womb, helped Ling Lan a lot to improve her physical body to sustain her spiritual power. But now, he was more flabbergasted by knowing the fact that there's a Soul Bead and a Soulscape, and in fact that it was super effective than the Qi exercising.
Ling Fei started to meditate with the guidance of Ling Lan for how to enter and how it feels the moment he entered the Mindscape. In this one week, he touched the door for his Mindscape but will be still distracted by minimal influence outside. But this thing made him happy that knowing that there's a way to get stronger above average human capabilities. This thing made his common sense of his past life be broken and face the new things and not be shackled by being a narrow-minded person.
Not only that, the twin picked up from the conversation of their mother and chamberlain Ling Qin, that their father died from the battlefield.
Knowing this, made Ling Fei more serious at training to access his Soulscape and to know the knowledge within. He didn't mean or be insensitive, but knowing that her father died at the battlefield, Battlefield! Made him envious of him and angrier, more and more from remembering his past life. He didn't die in the battlefield, but inside of the headquarters because of the traitors.
For three days, Ling Lan done all the things that can make her brother out of his memories, out of his mood being bad, and she was successful but she thought. 'Being a soldier is really that... I don't know how to put it into words... maybe, crazy? I mean, he didn't care that he died, He, Died! C'mon! he doesn't care about his life but WHERE he died!? My goodness! I'm gonna lose my mind too!'
Not only that, they heard the plan of making Ling Lan posing as a boy, if the day of announcing officially the inheritance came and Ling Fei is still asleep, to inherit the military benefits from their dad. This plan made them both speechless, and Ling Fei looked at Ling Lan. From her face, down to the part between her legs, slowly.
Ling Lan was shocked. Tried her best to crawl towards Ling Fei to beat him into pulp. "Ayu! Ayu yu au yu yu ayu!" (Big'bro! I'll fight you to death!)
"Abu! Au abu au bu bu abu!" (Lil'sis! I'm sorry. I didn't mean to!)
Ling Lan stop and stared intently at him while pouting. "Ayu au yu!" (I'm a girl!). But after she said that, she secretly reach out her left hand to touch that part and sighed in relief.
But still didn't get out from the sight of Ling Fei that made him laugh harder. "Ha ha ha ha ha!" He was sitting on the carpet and fall at his back but still didn't stop laughing. "Ha ha ha ha ha!"
That made Ling Lan went totally cry. "Wahh! Waaaaahh! Ayu! Ayu au ayuyu au ayu!" (Mother! Big'bro is bullying me!)
That cry got the attention of Lan Loufeng and Ling Qin and stared at the boy who's laugh hard on the carpet and the girl who's crying from her injustice.
Lan Loufeng scolded Ling Fei for one hour, who's nodding but his body is shaking from trying his best to control and not to laugh in front of her.
Ling Lan who's in the arms of Lan Loufeng still crying and still mad at Ling Fei.
For Lan Loufeng, she calmed down now after seeing her kids, are waking up on time. (Because of Little Four). Playing, crying, laughing, eating, etc. like the other kids. No, that's wrong, about the eating. Everyone in the house were shocked after noticing the quantity of the foods of the twins eating everyday. (Foods for newborn babies) It was increasing and increasing every meals time. Even made a call for the doctor to check up on them for maybe there's something wrong again.
The time from the 'Sleep' topic was still not case close, no one knows why, every doctors that made a checked up on them was flabbergasted. Tried to tell Lan Loufeng that they want to study them but was refused harshly by her.
Next, Ling Lan and Ling Fei talked about for not to stand out as a geniuses. But Ling Fei says that, if something made her stand out the most, he will make himself stand out more to cover up for her. And with free time, they talked about pranking everyone by switching places. When Ling Fei heard about it, he declined. He won't wear some girly clothes, but with non-stop insistence of Ling Lan and cajoling him that they are now kids and make some childhood memories, that they're far from war so he can relax his tensed muscles and live freely, he agreed to his lovely cutely little sister, with rolling his eyes.
------------------------
Soon, it was the time for the Federation to hand over the inheritance documents. Once the document handed over, their mother would no longer avoid the reality of their father's death. They decided to go wherever she goes so every time she thought about their father, they can make her distracted.
Even for the fact that they decided to talk about it while they training inside of Virtual Learning Space of Ling Lan.
"So, what do you think big'bro? She felt so lonely."
"We can't do nothing about it, after all we're just the children and he his our father. The husband of hers. No one can make her forget about the love of her life. We can't replace him, now or in the future. But! we can make her feel not lonely just what you're worried about. We need to show her that we were matured not because we didn't need her as we grow old, but for she can depend on us. I can take that responsibility and you can be the little girl of the family. But don't over do it, I won't spoil you a lot, ok?"
"Nah, don't worry about it, I can show that I'm maturing too but I'll be forever the little girl of this family." she replied with a wink.
Early morning next day, the twin sensed the disturbance in the typically peaceful household. But since they're both inside the room, they can't tell what might it be.
However, Ling Fei was soon scoop up by the servant but before he was completely taken away. His fast reflexes reached out to Ling Lan's hand and didn't wavered a bit to let it go. The servant tried to make them separate but received a bad stares at Ling Fei and Ling Lan and made her sweat, so she decided to picked up both and brought downstairs. They saw how luxurious the hall is. They now confirmed that their family is indeed in the upper echelon.
Before they could observe more, they were transferred into their mother's arms, still holding each other's hand. Lan Loufeng's sombre mood improved drastically after seeing them both and holding hands. She laugh a bit by their naughtiness, and remembered that no matter where the one went, the other one will follow too.
There was a time that they separated both kids, but all the servant received an endless staring at them and no one can break those, if one servant pass one kid to another servant, he or she will be the receiver of the ever silent staring, even her, their mother was not exempted. This made all the people inside of the Ling House broke into cold sweats and having goosebumps all over there bodies, there's no crying, no noises, no struggles, only silent staring. (This was because they need guidance of each other for the Soul Bead, Soulscape and Mindscape, so they need to be with each other all the time so, no more hectic-ness to find each other as they're still newborn, they're just more than one month old.)
Fortunately, Ling Xiao had left her a beautiful and charming twin. Giving her strength to oppose those greedy bastards.
She hugs them tightly and calmly stated, "These babies are Ling Xiao's Children! Ling Lan on my right is the daughter! And Ling Fei, on my right arm is the son! Only he shall inherit all that belongs to Ling Xiao!"
At that moment, an old but strident voice spoke up. "We need to ensure that Major General Ling Xiao's sacrifice is not in vain. We're not denying the right of Ling Fei's to inherit, but we only wish to make the ling family to choose the rightful candidate to inherit his Military premium benefits so he can continue the unfinished business of Major General Ling Xiao!"
Ling Fei and Ling Lan could feel the Lan Loufeng's chest trembling as she tried to suppress her angry towards the Ling Family Elder - Ling Suren.
Ling Fei was infected by his mother's angry. His body started to shake and want to burst out and curse at this old wretch but was stopped by Ling Lan. Staring at her eyes that he can tell that telling him to hold on a bit. He decided to believe at her sister. He's a bit outdated for how the military ceremony works in this era. Because they are literally out of the human capabilities back at 20th century in Earth, now.
But the fire in his eyes still raging, waiting for opportunity to pass by, even though he said to himself that he won't be affected by his past life, but doesn't mean he won't forget himself being the Fiercest General back there. 'Fire all your bullets before my turn, if not you won't have the time to regret it...' He said in his mind as he stared intently at Ling Suren, that made the old man felt it and found Ling Fei's stare, and the old man smile maliciously at him.
'Hahaha. Old fool, you've been baited.' Ling Fei thought and smiled back at him, evilly. And his not yet done. He summons his killing intent and pointed at Ling Suren as he mouthed. "Entertain me, old fool~ He he he~"
Ling Suren, got the most shocking shock in all of his life. His eyes widens that almost pop out of their sockets, he sweated a lot. He suddenly saw that he was in the ancient battlefield, he can hear the gunshots, first prototype of grenade exploding, swords, bolos, machetes and spears clashing. He can even heard the shouts of the people charging, dying and cursing. And suddenly he was stab at his chest and stared at soldier cursing at him and gave him a kick to pull out his spear and ignore him and charged somewhere. The kick made him step back and slowly fall at his knees, staring at his right hand that clutched his chest earlier after being stabbed and now with full of blood, he raised it at his face with his left hand and forcefully closed and wiped his eyes hardly and harshly with it. Then he noticed that he was in the present again and turn to look to see Ling Fei, but he saw that The Ling Fei this time was checking out the people in the hall with innocent looking face while still holding Ling Fan's other hand while sucking her other hand's thumb finger. But what he didn't noticed was, his body is shaking involuntarily and he was breathing heavily.
