"Love is just a kind of temporary illusion," Red Lotus firmly denied her sister's dream of love.
They were the pair of twin witches who were doomed to be the passeur of the treasure of The White Lotus Sword Domain. They had no time to play love games.
"You're wrong, sister. Love always comes suddenly, just as you didn't expect that you would have such a romantic dream, right?" White Lotus reached out her hands and pressed her hands down on her chest.
"Till now, my heart's still pounding."
"This feeling is so strong, it must be the so called 'love at the first sight. My prince, he appeared.'"
"Even so, it's just your imagination. Loving a person in a dream at the first sight? I don't know how to appraise your mind." Red Lotus said with a grumpy tone as she looked at her sister falling into an illusion.
What was going on? It was just an ambiguous and absurd dream, but her sister suddenly fell in it, as if she was being possessed.
After waking up from that dream, she always talked about the prince in her dream and even vowed that she would have a wonderful meeting with her dreamy prince.
My sister, you are too naive! She worries that if she didn't take care of her, her innocent sister would be beguiled by some malicious people in the blink of an eye.
"But, if I'm in love, won't sister be lonely?" White Lotus winked her big innocent eyes, worrying about her sister, whose personality was so strong that she couldn't possible to fall in love with anyone.
"If you fall in love with someone... if that's true... I will be in a big trouble..." As she slightly imagined what would happen if someone cheated her sister and made her fall in love, Red Lotus was thrilled, as she then looked at their joined hands with a mixed feeling...
They were a pair of twins linked together by fate.
In the meanwhile, they were also a pair of cursed twins.
Since they were born, they were joined together.
Hand and hand, both halves of their body, they were linked together by incredible "lines".
They had these invisible lines since their birth, it gave them superior talents and made them hero-ranked warriors while they were still 14-years-old.
Equally, these invisible lines also bound them together. It made them unable to leave each other.
Their breathing, heartbeat, and cultivation methods were all closely linked to these lines. Even at the time the overlord paid attention to them, she also clearly told them that they couldn't cut off the lines.
If they used brute-force to cut off these lines, both White Lotus and her would die.
Because their souls, the source of their life, were closely linked together through the lines.
They shared the same fate - they would live and die together. They were the eternal twins; they were the cursed twins.
Theoretically, humans couldn't reach Hero Rank before 16-years-old because their immature bodies couldn't bear the power of the Hero Rank.
But they could because they shared each other's strength and could merge each other's different properties of power.
They were like the great way of Yin and Yang. Red Lotus was "Yang" and her sister White Lotus was "Yin".
As a pair of twins, their cultivating speed was not only twice, but overwhelmed other people's practicing speed by more than ten times.
This ability made them the presumptive master of The White Lotus Sword Domain in the future, though they were only 14-year-old juveniles. In the meanwhile, it also brought them giant pains.
Once others knew that they were a pair of cursed twins, though they wouldn't expose their mind on their faces, but their eyes would subconsciously become weird.
In face of a thing they didn't understand and wasn't able to control, people were always dismayed, disturbed, or even frightened.
Long, long ago, she had understood that she had to become strong, far stronger than anyone else.
In that case, she could protect her innocent sister's clear eyes away from the dark side of the world.
But now, there was a serious problem.
Her cute, innocent, and carefree sister fell in love with a ridiculous, non-existent dream person!
Oh, gods, what was wrong with her?!
She regretted that she had such a shameless and ridiculous dream.
What a bad effect the dream brought to her sister!
"I think that you should pay more attention to this little dog. At any rate, it's better than the non-existent dream prince."
"I will take a break." Now, Red Lotus was glad she caught the little golden dog, at least she could use it to divert her sister's attention.
The dream prince... go to hell ten thousand times!
You are not even worth one of this little golden dog's hair!
After washing Yun Xi clean and handing him to her sister, Red Lotus closed her eyes and entered a dormant-like state.
This was a tacit understanding between the twins. Because their bodies were linked together through the invisible lines, they couldn't leave each other. In that case, only when one side of them entered the dormant state, could the other side have a short amount of free time.
In the daytime, most of the time, Red Lotus took hold of their actions. In the night, she would temporarily sleep for a while to let her sister move freely and play games.
"Ok, little golden dog, come here." White Lotus abruptly stood up and held Yun Xi in her arms, who was still in a stunned state.
Red Lotus's body naturally followed White Lotus, floating like a ghost by her side.
Their tacit understanding was already deeply in their souls.
"I don't know why, but my first glance had told me that we are destined."
"Little golden dog, do you want to live with me from now on?" White Lotus lifted up Yun Xi's body and gave him a gentle kiss.
The twin witches' white, fragrant and soft bodies had been seen by Yun Xi from top to bottom. But he swore that it wasn't on purpose.
"Right, sister said that there is a turtle, let's go to catch it, would you like that?" Yun Xi still didn't recover from shyness, but when he heard White Lotus, he almost scared his nerves out.
Turtle? Turtle!
Chapter 32: Let Go of the Turtle
"No, no! Don't look at that place!"
Yun Xi desperately controlled Mei'er's body, trying to stop the girl.
Unfortunately, it was obvious that Mei'er's poor body had no strength to stop her.
One step, two steps, White Lotus was nearly walking on the water, slowly getting close to Yun Xi's sleeping place.
Bad, really bad!
He would be found by the apostle's alternate of his ex-girlfriend, get caught by her, and sent to one of his ex-girlfriends and forced to do various shameless things...
Yun Xi closed his eyes and waited for the judgment of fate.
"Turtle, where's the turtle..." As Yun Xi hopelessly waited, White Lotus hummed a happy tune, walking to the location where Yun Xi hid his true body.
Inside the water's mist, Yun Xi's body was sinking in the hot spring. His breathing was nearly zero and his lifeforce was also imperceptible. Because of that, Red Lotus thought that he was just a turtle.
However, it was just a special breathing method, not sneaking nor cloaking.
The hot spring wasn't deep, even if he had sunk to the bottom of the water, everyone would find the so-called turtle's true face if they came closer.
"Gee?" Yun Xi heard White Lotus let out a cry of surprise and a fantastic spirit wave spread out.
No chance. Yun Xi was regarded as a turtle by Red Lotus, now he exposed himself.
She found him! He was found.
Yun Xi felt that the world faded and his life had come to an end.
Should he resist?
He was just a 1st-ranked Swordsman. In the face of one of the twin witches, who were at the Hero Rank, even though she was the slightly weak one, he knew he couldn't win.
"Ah?" White Lotus sounded a little shy and seemed that it also contained some
other meanings. Her seemingly turbulent spirit wave immediately subsided.
"What happened? Am I alive?"
Yun Xi quietly opened his eyes and peeped at White Lotus, who was hugging his current body - the little golden dog - tightly, by using one hand and covering her mouth by using another hand. She looked pretty shy.
It seems that because Red Lotus was in dormant mode, White Lotus's left hand was tightly bound to hers, but now it had a certain freedom. She could move her left hand within one meter.
Her small hand covered her pink lips and her eyes moved. Her expression looked as if she wanted to look at him, but didn't dare to look, which was ineffable cute.
Yun Xi turned around, and not surprisingly, he saw his sleeping body under the water.
Through the misty surface of the water, he could see his own quiet eyes, perfect-proportioned legs and arms, and his intangible rhythm of breathing.
Why didn't she kill him?
Oh right, she didn't know that he was the wanted Starchild!
The twin witches had received the decree, but they didn't know the age and appearance of the wanted Starchild. So, in the eyes of White Lotus, she just suddenly found an unknown man in the hot spring.
Then why didn't she kill him? For an instant, he'd felt the fleeting spirit wave.
What made her stop?
"..." White Lotus was observing Yun Xi's body again and again. Every few moments, she wouldn't be able to stand the shame and turned her red face away, but after a little while, she would peep at him again.
"There... and there..." On her fingertips gathered a group of mists. They slowly formed into a misty human shape.
"Contrasting the first character: 100% perfect."
"Contrasting the second character: 100% perfect."
"Substituting, judging and locking on all the elements!"
Yun Xi looked at the changing, modifying human shape. He thought that it looked familiar.
Oh right, it was himself.
After White Lotus's small hands seized and modified the mist-made human, it looked more and more like Yun Xi.
"Could it be..." A ridiculous idea appeared in Yun Xi's heart.
"Completed. Verify the model!" White Lotus's eyes showed that she was serious. Unlike her sister Red Lotus, she was good at deduction and magic spells.
As the "Yin" side of the twin witches, she had a unique talent with math and deduction. It wouldn't be an exaggeration even if you said that she was the number one in the entire White Lotus Sword Domain.
Red Lotus's power was biased toward "battle", while her power was biased toward "assistance". So, when the twin witches teamed up together, they could burst out a really inconceivable battling force.
Now, she was trying her best to deduce and instantiate the person who was at first nebulous, inside her memory.
At first, she couldn't do it simply by using the data she obtained from her dream.
However, except for the inorganic data, she had a bug-like tool named "the instinct of a girl in love".
At the first glance, as she saw the person, her heart beat unreasonably as countless messy data appeared in her mind.
The girl's instinct told her not to use a magic spell but to instantly deduce the data, build a model, and then try to calculate the result.
"The possibility is near 100%!"
"No, it's 100%!"
"My presentiment is right!"
"Someday you will come to me like a gift dropped from the sky!"
"Just like the story goes on, you're my own prince." Hugging Yun Xi's body, White Lotus blushed like a sunset cloud in the summer.
"I found you."
"You are mine. My dream, the number one prince in the world!"
Too bad, she found about that! Yun Xi sighed about his bad luck as he choked due to the girl's "two white mountains".
It was just a dream made by the stars! And the stars had blurred his face in the dream. Girl, why are you so incredible? How could you figure out that the damn turtle was your prince simply by calculating the data of my body shape?
Apparently, they only met each other once in the dream of sleeping beauty's kiss!
"Hoo... ha..." It was hard to imagine that as a Hero Ranked twin witch, she was so nervous to the extent that it troubled her breathing. Being hugged in front of her chest, Yun Xi could hear her strong heartbeat.
"Sister, I'm sorry. But only this, I can't give you!"
"Because I found him first. Even if you are my sister, I want to take an advance on you!"
"Sister, didn't you say that you hated the prince? So, you won't mind I take one step first, right?"
The girl cheered for herself, then with a fearless expression, she hugged Yun Xi in her arms, walking up to his body step by step.
"Bang! Bang!" The girl's heartbeat echoed aside Yun Xi's ears shy, but soaring, firm, and excited.
Wait, what were you going to do to the sleeping me?
Why do you looked so nervous, excited, as if you are preparing to commit a crime?
Let go of the turtle!
Chapter 33: Love of the Stars
Inside the pervasive water mist, White Lotus carefully, as if she was afraid of walking up the sleeping body, walked toward Yun Xi, who was mistaken as a "turtle" by Red Lotus.
"My... prince. My destined... lover!"
No, you are mistaken!
Yun Xi tried to weep, but failed to shed a tear. He looked at the witches, who reached her hands towards his body, with a bad feeling rising up in his heart.
Why? We just touched once in the star's trial, perhaps it was only a few seconds, why is it that you can recognize me?!
"Eh?" As his sleeping body felt his soul's emotional turmoil, it slightly moved.
This is bad, he was waking up! Though his soul was still inside Mei'er's body, but he could clearly feel that his integration with the gold dog would face the end.
This time, his enlightenment had already perfectly finished. Even if the twin witches didn't come here, it wouldn't have been long before his self-awakening.
This timing was extremely bad!
Dimly, the bright light of the stars softly stroked Yun Xi's soul to take him back to his own body.
Yun Xi woke up.
Soon after, he opened his eyes and before he could do anything, his lips were gently blocked by some soft stuff.
The taste of white lotus was a familiar one. However, this time, it wasn't the prince waking up the sleeping beauty with a kiss, but the younger sister of the twin witches waking her prince by her kiss.
Everything was reversed.
The girl kissed Yun Xi's lips. Inside the diffused water mist, Yun Xi clearly felt the fragrance of White Lotus's lips and her breath.
"Eh..." Though this was the first time she did this kind of thing, but White Lotus had read hundreds of romantic novels from the Western God's Domains. Naturally, she made it to the next step.
Her soft small tongue easily broke through Yun Xi's teeth. She sucked his tongue, tightly tangling their tongues together.
Yun Xi just finished his state of integration with nature; his body was in its most sensitive state. White Lotus's teasing immediately made him fall into a passionate kiss.
Compared to their kiss in the dark forest, the kiss now was hotter. She didn't seem shy at all; such an impassioned girl.
"Gee..." When White Lotus found that Yun Xi had woken up, remembering what a shameless thing she was doing, her entire small face turned to red.
No, that wasn't the worst, because she finally recognized her appearance in Yun Xi's eyes.
"Eeeh!" With her snow-white small hands, she hurriedly waved. Thousands of silver silk threads flew in the air, weaving into her holy and inviolable White Lotus Vestment.
However, White Lotus forgot to weave her sister's vestment. Red Lotus was still silently floating beside her sister, nude like a newborn baby, not knowing that her wonderful body had been seen by Yun Xi from top to bottom.
"Ah... well..." After been
awakened by White Lotus's kiss, Yun Xi felt as if there was heat flowing through his entire body. It was absolutely not the heat from the hot spring.
"Prince... ah... sister!" White Lotus covered her small lips with surprise and happiness on her face, then realized that her sister was still naked. She hurriedly helped her sister put on her Red Lotus Vestment.
