## Chapter 241: Older Sister's Gentleness

"Sis..."

I couldn't suppress the excitement in my heart and cried out with uncontrollable joy, but then I suddenly remembered the agreement with Kashya. It was fine if my identity was revealed to anyone else during this trip to Lut Gholein, but it absolutely could not be known by Sister Sharna. Otherwise, with her shrewdness, our objective this time would undoubtedly be exposed.

So, I quickly covered my mouth, which I hadn't managed to quiet in time, forcibly suppressing the joy and excitement in my heart. To be able to see Sister Sharna one last time during this trip to Lut Gholein was already enough to make me satisfied. There was no need to necessarily recognize each other now. The next time I arrived in Lut Gholein openly and honorably, that would be the time for us, Older Sister and Younger Brother, to meet.

Thinking this, I took it for granted and quickly touched my face. Fortunately, the Exceptional Helmet was already on. I believed that even Older Sister wouldn't be able to easily recognize me.

"Huh—"

The sound I involuntarily made also greatly astonished Sha'erna. It was a voice that was firmly engraved in her heart, a voice she could never forget in her lifetime. She let out a cry of surprise. The lance, poised to strike, spun a few graceful circles in Mid-air before being retracted behind her. Her body trembled slightly as she walked over impatiently, wanting to see if it was truly the Younger Brother she had longed for day and night.

As the distance closed, the dust became thinner. Sha'erna frowned somewhat anxiously. The lance in her hand suddenly swung fiercely, like a gust of wind rising from the ground. The annoying dust vanished with it, and the other party's appearance finally came fully into view.

"Yo, Miss, I'm really embarrassed about stealing your monster. This was all a misunderstanding."

Appearing before her was a man wearing a tight cloak and a strange Exceptional Helmet on his head. Of course, what was strange wasn't the Exceptional Helmet, but his attire. If the Exceptional Helmet were worn with full body armor, it would undoubtedly be extremely mighty and handsome. But paired with the ring mail on his upper body, baggy burlap pants, and a dirty cape worn outside, it was undoubtedly as comical as a farmer wearing a jeweled hairpin on his head. Clearly, the person before her either had a poor aesthetic sense or was careless in his actions and didn't pay attention to his image.

He waved at her with a hoarse voice completely different from before. His expression was hidden, but his movements were stiff. Even the two bull horns on his helmet trembled, making him look like a standing, head-shaking silly bull, comically cute. Thinking of this, a faint smile suddenly appeared on her pretty face, which was usually like being frozen for ten thousand years. If others saw Sha'erna, the Ice Queen, who fundamentally didn't know what emotions were, actually showing such a smile, they would probably be utterly shocked. Of course, that's assuming they could recover from the stunning smile before them.

Standing opposite Sister Sharna, although I tried my best to suppress myself, my heart couldn't help but tense up. She merely gently swung the gold lance in her hand, and the obstacle separating the two of us was removed. That stance, like a pine tree standing against the wind, and that majestic aura, were like a Queen standing on the Throne of Destruction at the top of the Stairs, only to be watched from afar. No wonder in less than two short months since arriving in Lut Gholein, she had completely conquered the entire Western Kingdom. The legend of the Rogue Queen also continued here, becoming the Queen of Lut Gholein.

However, she had become even colder. That indifference that pushed people a thousand miles away, the sea-blue eyes frozen by ice, and the do not approach aura on her person were even more extremely reclusive than when she was a Rogue. Before even getting close, one could feel a repulsive aura. Even a Classed Adventurer who was always prideful would probably feel inferior in front of her, not daring to raise their head to look one more time.

But from the eyes covered by ice, I saw the coldness and loneliness of the Deep Sea hidden beneath the ice layer. Could it be that in the entire Western Kingdom, there wasn't a single Person who had the qualification to be recognized by you, at least someone who could say a word and prevent that lonely, cold heart from remaining cold? Seeing those beautiful, yet also cold and not like Humanity sea-blue eyes, my heart ached intensely.

However, the smile that subsequently appeared on her face, as if an ice layer frozen for ten thousand years had suddenly collapsed and broken apart, captivated me. But, considering I was perhaps one of the few in the entire Dark Continent who had seen her smile the most, I quickly sobered up. While exclaiming 'that was close!', I also vaguely felt in my heart that the situation was bad. I didn't reveal any flaw, right? I shouldn't be seen through, right? But would Older Sister show such a warm smile to a stranger? Thinking of this, I actually felt jealousy of my current identity.

"Is that so? Since it's like this, then it's a matter that can't be helped."

Carrying that faint smile, Sister Sharna's voice, which originally contained not a trace of emotions, also seemed to soften a lot.

"It... it's just, everything is just a misunderstanding."

Huh? When did Sister Sharna become so easy to talk to with a stranger? I had even planned out the scene where I would be chased by her, fleeing miserably, and then forced to reveal my identity when I was on my last breath.

"Then, can you tell me, who exactly are you?"

The smile on Older Sister's face became a bit brighter. She completely changed the cold and ruthless aura from just now, leaning her face closer, smiling. She was less than a foot away from my face. The faint dark body scent wafting from the opposite side, compared to the damp and stuffy aura of the Tombs, was simply like being in a High Heavens garden full of birdsong and flowers. And that beautiful face so close at hand, which made one dizzy, made me want to immediately embrace her and cheer loudly, "Older Sister, you are my High Heavens!"

Cannot be excited, cough cough, I kept reminding myself in my heart. Cannot be tempted by Older Sister's beauty. As a man, I must have self-control. Mm-hmm.

"Originally, because my identity is truly too special, I shouldn't reveal myself."

I took a tiny, almost imperceptible step back, barely managing to escape Older Sister's every movement, every expression, that didn't fail to exude fatal charm. Turning my head away, I answered deeply.

"But since you asked with sincerity, I will mercifully tell you..." After habitually pushing up my imaginary glasses.

"To prevent Sanctuary from being destroyed, to protect the peace of the Continent, to uphold the determination of love and justice, but... cough cough, a Traveler who traverses Space (within Library) and Time Fissure, a passerby drifting among the Three Worlds. I am the greatly renowned Three Musketeers of the Western Kingdom—Aslan, Dante!!!"

Looking at Older Sister's blank gaze, I gave a cool smile. Humph, were you astonished? Still just a woman, huh? How could you possibly appreciate this man's passion and boldness?

"Huh—?"

Unexpectedly, Older Sister suddenly grabbed my hand. The slightly rough touch, while also carrying the unique coldness and softness of a Young Girl's small hand, made me feel light and airy in my heart, almost forgetting myself again.

"Haven't seen you for just a little while, you weren't hit in the head by a monster, were you?" Older Sister frowned, muttering to herself in a voice I couldn't hear.

Oh no, in terms of carefulness, in terms of shrewdness, I cannot compare with Older Sister. If this continues, revealing my identity is just a matter of time. Seeing Older Sister's intimate actions, I started to feel that the situation was bad.

"Since the misunderstanding is cleared up, and my name has also been announced, if there's nothing else, then I'll leave first." I panicked, pulling my hand out of Older Sister's palm, saying haltingly. Then I turned around, calling out to Xiao Xue and companions, preparing to slip away.

"Don't be in a hurry to leave."

Older Sister's voice came from behind me. Before I could react, my head was grabbed by a great strength, unable to move at all, while my feet still stepped forward, making me almost twist my waist. Turning my head back, it turned out Older Sister's right hand had grabbed one of the bull horns on the helmet and was pulling me tightly.

So that's how it is. Although the bull horns of the Exceptional Helmet can give damage to the enemy in unexpected places, they are also very easy to be grabbed. This is indeed a blind spot.

"Uh, is there anything else?"

Seeing Older Sister's sea-blue eyes with a smile, a chilling coldness suddenly surged up. The malicious gaze contained within those beautiful eyes, which held a substantial threat, was thousands of times more horror than Little Ghost's rage, which only had aura but no threat.

"Are you just going to leave like this?" Older Sister quietly looked at me and asked.

"..."

For some reason, seeing her eyes, no matter how hard I steeled my heart, that simple word "yes" was like a fish bone stuck in my throat, simply couldn't be uttered.

"Then... Older Sister, what do you plan to do?"

Looking at the beauty gradually approaching, I was captivated, having completely forgotten what I was saying or what I should say, only answering based on my instinct.

Sister Sharna did not answer, but instead gradually approached. Her full and firm breasts were already completely pressed against my chest, presenting a shape like a perfect, flawless jade bowl. I didn't want to, and simply couldn't retreat or dodge, because behind me was already a Wall. When she leaned in, Older Sister had already used some unknown methods to force me into the Corner.

Felt the horn on my helm was grabbed again, and was slowly being pulled upwards. Chin, lip, nose... little by little exposed to the air.

"Mmm—"

Having just been pulled up to my nose, a pair of thin, wet lips shaped beautifully like cherry blossom had already pressed against mine. The hot and sweet aura, as if it wanted to melt me, was so intense, as if moved by emotion. My body couldn't help but tremble, became excited, and then responded fiercely.

I don't know how long passed, I don't know when we finally hugged tightly together, leaning in the Corner, feeling each other's rapid breath, chaotic and joyful heartbeat, constantly gazing at each other infatuatedly, not wanting to look away for a moment.

Older Sister leaned on my shoulder, gently combing my hair with her hand. Every time after using the Exceptional Helmet, my hair was always messy.

"Older Sister—" I gently stroked her silk-like cheek, muttering, not knowing what to say.

"You were pretending quite well just now, weren't you? My good Younger Brother!" Felt the small hand moving through my hair suddenly apply force.

"Huh—? Uh... Maybe this Exceptional Helmet is a bit tight. Always wearing it, the things in my head were also squeezed out." I put on an innocent expression.

"Did you even forget all about me?" As if deliberately breathing out, an aura that made me tingle all over was breathed onto my neck, making me tremble all over.

"I was wrong, Older Sister, please forgive me."

I immediately lowered my head and admitted my mistake. If I were to be stubborn now, based on my past experience, Sister Sharna has a 99.99% probability of changing from a gentle and lovely Older Sister to an Underworld Captain.

Felt the small hand on my head relax. Only then did I secretly let out a sigh of relief in my heart.

"Silly Younger Brother..."

Felt the small hand in my hair become even more gentle.

"Only you, no matter how you lie, conceal, even deceive me, betray me, I, Sha'erna, can tolerate it. In the entire Sanctuary, only you alone can do it, do you know?"

Felt my neck tighten. The next moment, I was already pulled into Older Sister's embrace. My cheek was pressed tightly between two soft masses of flesh. That faint body scent, mixed with the scent of milk pressing against my nose, suddenly became intense.

"Thank you, Older Sister, Older Sister, I love you."

Burying my head in that warm embrace, there wasn't a trace of lust in my heart. Hearing Older Sister's heartfelt true words, my eyes forcibly suppressing themselves from shedding tears.

How many years has it been? I had completely forgotten the appearance of my parents. My relationship with them was not as moving as described in many novels. When I was very Little One, they had already passed away, so Little One that I didn't even have time to feel their love. Therefore, when they died, I at that time didn't feel anything, let alone cry my heart out.

After the Grandma who raised me all the way passed away, I finally became completely alone, staying in the empty Room/House all day, isolated from the world, wandering in virtual Space. Coldness and loneliness made me almost forget the feeling of kinship.

Now, yet in this unfamiliar otherworld, I truly found a piece of kinship I had longed for: tolerance, flawless, selfless dedication. Never before has a Person made me feel this kinship so closely. Only Sister Sharna, only she could. I cannot describe how I feel about her at this moment. She is both an existence like a mother and an Older Sister, while also bringing me love and sweetness like a Wife...
