NOVEL NEXT Chapter 64: Chapter 61: Is She Really Your Sister?
"Hmph~ Actually, Kiana was chasing you earlier. But you must know where the real Fu Lin is, don't you?"
"I'm right, aren't I, brother?"
"..." How did her tone suddenly turn so commanding?
Fu Lin remained silent.
'So I was almost fooled earlier. Damn it, I didn't even realize that the Lin I was following just now was fake.'
------------------
Kiana heard Sirin's words, bit her finger in frustration, and then decided to hide for a while. She thought, 'I'll let Sirin spend some time with her brother for now, and in the meantime, I'll observe Lin's private life. Hehehe.'
(Lin - Sirin's brothers name, Fu Lin - MC name)
"Wait, if he's Sirin's brother, doesn't that make him my brother too...?" Kiana suddenly realized and exclaimed in shock.
"But didn't Sirin's brother die in the Second Eruption? Could it be something similar to me?" Kiana said enviously as she observed the atmosphere between Sirin and her brother.
"Speaking of which, Lin feels like a brother to me too. When did my feelings start to change?" Kiana recalled her past interactions with him, frowning for a moment before shaking the thought away.
"Forget it, I won't think about it. Sleep it is! If I can't have it in reality, I'll try it out in my dreams first," Kiana said, summoning a bed, hugging a body pillow shaped like Fu Lin, and falling asleep with a mischievous grin, muttering strange sounds.
Outside, Fu Lin noticed Sirin's thoughts and nodded in agreement. As long as he didn't reveal that he was Fu Lin, everything would be fine. Besides, Sirin could also help cover for him.
Thinking this, Fu Lin wrapped his hair around his hand again, transforming into Fu Shi once more. His long hair flowed in the wind, giving off the impression of a dashing and gallant young man.
Even though Sirin had prepared herself mentally, she still couldn't help but gasp in amazement at this miraculous transformation.
"Wait, something seems off?" Previously, due to Kiana's interference, he hadn't noticed. This time, after transforming, Fu Lin cautiously reached downward, only to confirm that a certain "spear" was missing. Alarmed, he quickly undid the transformation, returning to his original form—and the spear returned as well. He let out a sigh of relief.
"Thank goodness. I must admit, this body-changing ability is truly comprehensive."
Fu Lin suddenly thought, With two bodies, if I make this one female, can I... self-suffice?
He immediately shook off the perverse thought. No, that's way beyond the realm of human decency. I can't be that twisted.
After clearing his mind, Fu Lin wrapped his hair again and entered a clothing shop. Seeing the idle shopkeeper sister lounging on a chair, he greeted her warmly.
"You're finally here! You made me wait so long. I'm so lonely~ Is it because you've found a new love?" The shopkeeper leapt up in excitement upon seeing Fu Lin, but her teasing began anew when she noticed Sirin by his side.
"There was a little unexpected situation. My apologies. This is my younger sister, Sirin," Fu Lin said, accustomed to her antics. He deliberately emphasized the word younger to preempt any inappropriate comments from the shopkeeper.
This body did share a genuine blood relationship with Sirin, after all.
"But you two don't look alike at all. Are you really siblings?"
"What are you saying, you ant? He can only have one sister, and that's me," Sirin coldly stepped out from behind Fu Lin, glaring menacingly at the shopkeeper sister.
The big sister froze, and when she looked at Sirin again, the earlier hostility had completely vanished, as if it were an illusion.
"Shopkeeper-san, where are the clothes I ordered?" Fu Lin rubbed Sirin's head and asked, glancing at the stunned shopkeeper.
"Huh? Oh, right, I'll get them for you now. Wait here," the shopkeeper sister said as she turned and walked into a small room. Shortly after, she came back holding a bag and handed it to Fu Lin.
"Not bad. As expected of you" Fu Lin praised, taking out a piece of clothing and stroking its smooth fabric.
"Of course! My shop is known for its quality and style." The shopkeeper sister then picked up a box from the side and placed it in Fu Lin's hands.
"And this is?" Fu Lin asked, looking at the box in confusion.
