The Bond

"Brother..."

Alas, what is said is done. Just as Li Tong mentioned little sister, she pushed open my door and stood at the entrance, witnessing the intimate scene between Li Tong and me.

"You're so wicked."

Li Tong looked at little sister at the door and hurriedly pushed me away, too ashamed to lift his head.

"Brother..."

Little sister called out to me again, but this time her voice was different. It was a bit agitated, even choked with emotion.

Before I could react, little sister turned around and ran away.

"Feng, what's wrong with your little sister? Hurry and check on her."

Li Tong also noticed little sister's abnormal behavior and urged me on.

"Alright."

I quickly put on my clothes and went to check on little sister's condition.

"Wu...wuwu...wuwu..."

I pushed open the door to little sister's room and saw her lying on the bed, softly weeping.

"Little sister, what's wrong?"

She didn't respond, still lying on the bed, completely ignoring me.

"Little sister, what's wrong?"

I reached out and lifted her up by the shoulders, turning her body around.

"Wuwuwu..."

Little sister's delicate appearance was now covered in tears, and her beautiful face was marked with glistening droplets. Her little mouth was trembling with sadness, and she couldn't help but cry out, making one's heart ache.

"My little sister is truly heartbroken. Such a pained and sorrowful expression, I have only seen on her during the passing of our parents. But now, she looks so heartbroken, it truly pains me."

"Yuxin, what's wrong? What's troubling you so much? Tell your brother, won't you?"

I tenderly wiped away the tears on her face, comforting her.

"Yuxin, please don't cry anymore. Your brother is heartbroken seeing you like this. Whatever the matter is, just tell me and I'll help you solve it."

As I watched my little sister continue to cry and remain silent, I became anxious.

"Brother... do you... do you not want me anymore?"

My little sister finally spoke, but her words almost scared me.

"Silly girl, what are you saying? How could your brother not want you?"

"Wuwu..."

"Brother, now that you're with Sister Tong, I'm worried. Worried that you won't want me anymore."

"What are you saying? I..."

"Brother, do you know? Although I like Sister Meng Xue, I don't like it when Sister Meng Xue is with you."

Just as I was about to speak, my little sister interrupted me.

"When Brother is with Sister Meng Xue, Brother only has eyes for her, and not for Yuxin. Brother doesn't spend time with Yuxin or hold Yuxin. Yuxin was really heartbroken at the time."

"..." What is this? I don't remember such a thing. I have always taken good care of my little sister and have never let this happen. But I can't speak recklessly at the moment.

"Brother spends all his time with Sister Meng Xue not knowing how sad Yuxin is. But it was okay then, because Yuxin had Mom and Dad to keep her company when she wasn't happy. But now that Mom and Dad are gone, Brother is going to be with Sister Tong, what will Yuxin do? Yuxin will be alone and unloved in the future."

As my little sister spoke these words, she couldn't help but cry again, as if she had lost her beloved toy.

"Dear Yuxin, my dear little sister, what are you thinking about? Your big brother will always love you and always be with you. Have you forgotten? Didn't I tell you that you are my little treasure?"

"Really? Will you never leave me, brother? Will you always love me? Even if you are with Sister Tong, will you still love Yuxin?"

Finally, the little sister stopped her tears and her watery eyes were full of anticipation.

"Of course, brother will always love Yuxin. If Yuxin ever doubts her elder brother, he will be unhappy."

I nodded vigorously and stroked my little sister, wiping away the remaining tears from her face. I gently grazed her jade nose with my finger, finally stopping her tears.

"Brother, is it true? I'm so happy."

At this point, the little sister suddenly threw herself into my arms, tightly embracing me, and her tears flowed again uncontrollably.

"Brother, kiss me as usual," she began to act spoiled.

I picked up the little sister, kissed her on her beautiful jade face, and gently brushed her nose.

"Wake up, little lazy bones."

"Uh..."

The little sister immediately jumped up, pounced into my arms, and her delicate little mouth kissed my face, her tender tongue lightly licking my cheek.

After breakfast, watching my little sister and Li Tong enter the game, I quickly put on my helmet and entered the game to continue battling in the "King of Glory". At present, my level is not far behind other players, but if I don't work hard to level up, I will soon be surpassed by other players.

A burst of radiance flickered and appeared on the first level of the black stone tower located on the bottom lane. The dark tower was still filled with the sound of deep bone clashes, which sounded quite unpleasant. However, after struggling here for three days, I had become accustomed to it and no longer cared.

These skeletal soldiers used to be my experience, but now I was in a hurry to upgrade my equipment to level 20 and couldn't be bothered with them. I went directly to find their leader, the skeleton captain, who had already respawned.

Unexpectedly, as soon as I spotted the captain, he also noticed me and shouted loudly before charging at me. Apparently, after killing the captain continuously for three days, he had developed a deep-seated hatred for me and charged towards me with a desire for revenge.

When I was level 13, I had no problem taking on a single skeleton captain, and now that I was level 20, I wasn't afraid of this little thief. I confidently raised my steel sword and charged towards him - dealing 230, -480, -470 in a few critical strikes, which felt exhilarating.

My current strength is exceptionally strong, although attack is not my strongest attribute. After a few strikes, the skeleton captain's life was rapidly dropping, which made me quite satisfied. In the blink of an eye, the captain's life was less than ten percent.

"Roar~" The skeleton captain let out a loud roar and underwent a power-up. A burst of black radiance flashed and the skeleton captain's attack doubled.

I guess I had killed the skeleton captain too many times and it had developed a deep-seated hatred for me. When the hatred reached a certain number, monsters were likely to undergo power-ups and evolve.

-30, -25, miss, miss. I stood still and tested my attributes, not knowing what effect the captain's attacks had on me. Regardless, I was secretly delighted that I had this ability even without wearing level 20 equipment.

I couldn't be bothered with him any longer, so I took a few more strikes and took care of this strengthened skeleton captain.

With a loud "bang," a yellow-glowing object fell, resembling a flashing battle sword.

"Wuwuuuu!" Tears welled up in my eyes.

Although I have always been extremely lucky, I have never defeated a weapon used by a knight. Low attack has always been my weakness. Finally, I have defeated a golden one-handed sword. It goes without saying how happy I am. My luck has really taken a turn for the better.

I picked up the weapon, which emitted a yellow glow and looked like a battle sword. It had a dark red color and was not made of metal, but appeared to be made of bone. It was extremely durable and sharp, and had a unique streamline and shape that looked similar to human rib bones.

The Blade of the Skeleton, a piece of golden equipment that requires level 20 to use. The effect is unknown and cannot be applied.

I will find out what the effect is once I go back to appraise it. I immediately used a teleportation scroll to return to Tianlong City.

Tianlong City was now overcrowded with players everywhere, making it feel like night and day compared to the quietness when I changed my class. It was noisy and chaotic, with activities happening all around.

However, I paid no attention to it and pushed my way through the crowd towards the warehouse storage area, where I retrieved my level 20 top-grade equipment in preparation for appraisal.
