The Duel Between Two Suns: Book 7 of Starchild Escapes Arranged Marriage

by Fat Bread

  Even if she took ten thousand steps backward and admitted that White Lotus could use the Star and Moon Ring as her main weapon, there were still many ancient god weapons waiting for White Lotus to inherit in the Sword Palace.

  Every time when Red Lotus saw the god weapons that had been sealed for thousands of years and couldn't have an appropriate master, there was an unspeakable pain in her heart.

  Every time when White Lotus approached those god weapons who had waited too long, these god weapons would actively emit lights and wait for her choice as if they were poor puppies waiting to be adopted.

  As long as she stretched out her little hand, there was no need for any inheritance ceremony, all god weapons would fly to her side.

  However, White Lotus still refused to choose any of them. She even refused to inherit the Green Lotus Throne.

  Red Lotus had always wondered why her gentle sister, White Lotus would so stubbornly refuse all the god weapons.

  Now she understood that her sister had already decided what she wanted.

  They are very, very good, but I don't like them.

  No matter how many god weapons I can choose, I just need one.

  I only want one god weapon, it's the only treasure that belongs to me.

  No one else could interfere with White Lotus's choices, including her sister, Red Lotus.

  This was the first time that Red Lotus had discovered that once her sister had decided what to do, no one could change her mind.

  No! No!

  White Lotus, you're wrong! You're wrong!

  That prince doesn't exist in this world!

  The kind of prince in the novel you read doesn't exist in the real world at all! It was just a dream after you read too many romantic novels!

  Why? You are so smart, why would you believe a dream?

  "I beg you, White Lotus, give up on the Star and Moon Ring!"

  "Even if all the god weapons in the Sword Palace can't satisfy you, I will find a better god weapon for you. Please, just put down the Star and Moon Ring!" Looking at her sister who was obsessed with the Star and Moon Ring, continuing to pour all her spiritual power into it, Red Lotus really regretted it.

  I shouldn't have gone to hold the entrance exam of the Sword Palace!

  If I knew that my innocent sister would fall into the delusion of love on the way, I would never have left the Sword Palace with her.

  "Sister, do you believe in love?" Even if she didn't open her eyes, White Lotus knew what look was on her sister's face.

  Red Lotus' compliant sister entered the period of rebellion, she must be worried about it.

  However, White Lotus didn't regret her choice.

  Chapter 493: The Sun and the Prince

  When she was small, White Lotus had known that she was different from her sister.

  From the day they were conceived in their mother's womb, they were destined never to be separated. Something twined around them, made them come into the world hand in hand from their mother's body at almost the same time.

  Even their mother didn't know who the big sister of the strange twins was. Finally, they regarded the baby on the left as the big sister and the baby on the right as the young sister.

  “The twins of fate” was not their original title.

  The cursed twins was the name they were called after their birth.

  Their bodies, including their hands and feet were tightly connected by transparent threads when they were born, just like twin trees.

  Apparently, this situation was abnormal. When their mother saw this, she couldn't help but scream.

  And about the thing that happened after that, both of them didn't want to recall it anymore.

  By the time they appeared in front of the public again, they were already seven years old and became the apprentices of witches.

  They had been given a new mission, a new life, and had completely been cut off from their past.

  People wouldn't ask about the past of the twin witches, doubting the sacredness of White Lotus Sword Palace.

  The witch who took them from the mortal world to the Sword Palace became their teacher and began to teach them the knowledge that witches should know.

  The cursed twins eventually became the respected twin witches, Red Lotus and White Lotus.

  People took it for granted that the respected twin witches were children raised by the witches.

  They had excellent talent, strong bloodline, and a fate that no one could match.

  After losing everything, Red Lotus and White Lotus got everything.

  However, White Lotus would never forget the scared expression on her mother's face when she saw them, and all the ugly things that happened after that.

  Yes, she remembered. She always remembered.

  As the "Yin" side of the twin witches, she had a self-awareness and wisdom earlier than her sister. Her sister, Red Lotus obtained her first talent when she was three years old, and White Lotus had naturally obtained hers, right after her birth.

  She knew all the things her sister did in order to protect her as if she was a flower in a greenhouse

  She also knew why her sister hated men so much.

  However, is it really good to go on like this?

  Sister, can you really be happy with what you have done?

  Why are we so unfortunate and so special?

  As the twin witches of fate, can’t we have our own destiny?

  Become a witch and guard the White Lotus Secret Treasures like all the previous witches, dedicating our lives to White Lotus Sword Domain. Is this our life?

  No, it shouldn't be!

  White Lotus wanted to destroy all of these, she wanted to get rid of such a fate.

  For this, she made a wish and made preparations.

  That day, when the glory of the stars fell, she finally found what she wanted and heard the "voice" that could help her fight against this so-called fate.

  Then she met the person she was supposed to meet.

  The prince who could let her get rid of the fate of the twin witches.

  My sister is wrong.

  My Prince is not an illusion, neither a delusion, but right in front of me and close enough to touch.

  She took the gift from him and vowed to turn it into a weapon that could break all the shackles of fate.

  That day, she said to her prince:

  "Today, this micalex is just a common stone in the eyes of other people.

  "But from now on, it's the first gift my lover gave me.

  "In the future, it will be the gift my husband first presented to me, and gradually will become a priceless and irreplaceable treasure in my life.

  "I don't mind other people's opinions, but for me, it's the most beautiful and glamorous gem from my prince.

  "I witness it here, your present is the most valuable gift to me, to complete our eternal contract.

  "Maybe I indeed don't know what true love is, but I swear to this gem.

  "I will love you forever."

  She prayed to the stars in the sky, and then, the wish came true.

  The golden red of the sun.

  The silver of the moon.

  The bright starlights gathered in her palm, blessed her and guided her.

  Sister, have you seen it?

  The miracle you and I expect is right here, in this Star and Moon Ring.

  We are no longer the cursed twins, no longer shouldering that heavy fate.

  On that day, she made an invariable pledge to him and handed over her fate to him.

  Prince, the miracle she was waiting for, the glory of redemption.

  Her prince didn't need to be rich. She just needed a gift from him, as long as the gift could represent his sincerity, even a piece of micalex was sufficient.

  Her prince didn't need to be handsome and have friends all over the world. Although her prince was now so cute and had a whole group of girls to be his knights.

  For her, the prince was the light, the lighthouse in the darkness, the key to a new
destiny.

  "Sister, do you like the sun?" At the end of the morning prayer ceremony, White Lotus reached out her little hand and pointed to the golden light above the waterfall.

  "Well, not bad." As the master of the Red Lotus Holy Sword, Red Lotus liked everything related to the fire. She even gained the power to transform herself into a flame guardian spirit in that incredible nightmare world.

  The sun was the ultimate symbol of the ultimate power of burning everything.

  "Well, I'll tell you a secret."

  "My... our prince, will one day surpass the sun and become hotter and more luminous than the sun."

  "Impossible, your non-existent prince won't even obtain one billionth of the glory of the sun." Red Lotus shook her head with a disdainful smile. She didn't believe a word of what her sister said about the imaginary prince.

  "Well, sister, I'll make a bet with you." Looking at her sister's confident look, White Lotus showed a strange smile on her face.

  "A bet that belongs to me, to us, and to the prince."

  "Even after 1000 years or 10,000 years, this bet will not expire."

  Chapter 494: The Witch Palace

  "Sure, what bet?" Red Lotus couldn't wait to hear it.

  As long as it could stop her sister's fantasy about the non-existent prince, she was willing to accept ten bets!

  "The bet is very simple, that is, you will fall in love with the prince." White Lotus said with a bright smile on her face.

  "So, as long as I don't like that prince, you'll give up that bastard?" The corners of Red Lotus' mouth raised.

  I have a 100% possibility to win! How would I like a prince that doesn't exist?

  Even if the prince White Lotus fantasized about really existed, she would find him and kill him before White Lotus saw him!

  Her Red Lotus Holy Sword had long been hungry and thirsty for the prince's blood!

  If the prince appeared in front of her, she would reward him with a bloody end without saying anything at all!

  "Yes, because I like the prince, so will you."

  "Just as the sun rises from the horizon every day, my sister, you will like the same person I like." White Lotus's eyes were smiling, as if she had seen the final result.

  "Well, I accept this bet!!" Red lotus quickly agreed.

  Prince, you must die!

  Whether it was a prince in fantasy or a prince in the real world, as long as she saw him, she would kill him!

  "So..."

  White Lotus stretched out her right hand, while Red Lotus stretched out her left hand with a bright smile.

  It was a ritual between them, and it would only be used for the most important things.

  "In the name of White Lotus (Red Lotus)."

  "Pinky, pinky, bow-bell. Whoever tells a lie will sink down to a bad place and never rise up again."

  "The violator will swallow a thousand needles!"

  Two little fingers entwined together and pulled together forcefully.

  Red Lotus laughed happily.

  My sister finally figured it out. The prince doesn’t exist, how will I lose this bet?

  White Lotus also had a mysterious and gentle smile on her face.

  Sister, in that case, no matter where we go, we will not be separated.

  Our fates is indeed to be connected together with the prince.

  In the White Lotus Sword Palace, on the roof of the Witch Palace.

  Mei (Star Snow) comfortably stretched out herself, different from matured Star Thunder and energetic Star Fire, Star Snow preferred to stay in quiet places, if it wasn't necessary, she wouldn't take the initiative to come in contact with other people.

  After listening to the courses according to Mei'er's arrangement, she easily got into the Witch Palace, where she should never be found by outsiders, and found the most suitable place for sunshine.

  She was ready for a good sleep here.

  She didn't behave like a dog at all but was more like a cat.

  Unfortunately, the owner of the Witch Palace soon discovered her!

  "Who is it?" Red Lotus looked at her and almost burst with anger.

  What's this place?

  The Witch Palace, the core of the whole White Lotus Sword Domain, the place where the White Lotus Secret Treasure is hid.

  The defence system here was even stronger than the main peak where the White Lotus Sword Master lived. Even a mosquito shouldn't have the possibility to fly into this forbidden area.

  But what did she see? Someone actually got onto the roof of the shrine of the Witch Palace! And it looked like she had come here for a long time because she had fallen asleep.

  How absurd!

  Why can she pass through the defence ward of the Witch Palace?

  An enemy had come in, why didn't the entire defense system send an alarm?!

  Is it a bug? The Witch Palace spent thousands of years building the perfect defense system, and now it had actually broken down without warning?

  "..." Mei (Star Snow) looked at Red Lotus in confusion, then she saw the figure in a white witch's dress next to Red Lotus. With a smile on her face, she jumped down from the roof lightly.

  "It's you!" Red Lotus looked at her in surprise.

  Apparently, she was the core of the Starwing Knights, Mei.

  How did she get through the defense system of the Witch Palace? Even for Hua Huo, it isn't possible for her to accomplish this!

  "..." White Lotus gently covered her mouth, trying not to let herself make a happy voice.

  Prince, have you come to see me?

  "..." Mei (Star Snow) trotted all the way to White Lotus. Then she smelled White Lotus' body all around.

  She smelled the unique odor of her master, Yun Xi.

  Exactly speaking, it was part of Yun Xi's smell contained in the Star and Moon Ring.

  Smiling!

  Mei (Star Snow) looked at White Lotus, smiling like an angel.

  "Hey..." Looking at Mei's innocent face, although White Lotus covered her mouth, she could not help but laugh out.

  "White Lotus, when did you have such a good relationship with this maid?" Looking at White Lotus' smile, which she seldom saw, Red Lotus, as her sister, was jealous.

  White Lotus rarely smiled. In fact, she often practiced her secret skill, the Great Circulation all day, even as her sister, Red Lotus had only a few hours a day that she could talk with White Lotus.

  For Red Lotus, White Lotus' smile was more precious than anything!

  Because of the prince in her dream, they had a quarrel and she had less and less chance to see White Lotus' smile.

  She was like a fish that left the water and a plant that couldn't bask in the sun, if she couldn't see White Lotus' smile, she would lose the meaning of her life!

  That damn prince! It's all your fault!

  If White Lotus had that strange dream again, she would drive into her dream, pull out her sword and kill him a hundred times!

  "Mei!"

  White lotus murmured the pseudonym the prince was using now. Even such a simple action could let her feel happy.

  He was the fire of her life, the miracle she yearned for, the light of hope she had after praying thousands of times.

  Today, you come to me.

  It's really a lucky day.

  You are the sun, glorious and sacred.

  You are the moon, mysterious and gentle.

  You are a star, bright and shining.

  Chapter 495: The Person Red Lotus Admires

  "Wait, even though you're Hua Huo's maid, you can't come in here!" Looking at her sister's smile, Red Lotus only felt anxious.

  White Lotus isn't smiling at me!

  The feeling of losing... as if something of great importance will soon be lost.

  "Mei, how did you get in?" White Lotus was also curious about this.

  Compared with her sister Red Lotus, she knew better how powerful the defense system of White Lotus Sword Palace was. It was absolutely not something that could be broken through simply by brute
force.

  After all, it connected with the ley lines of the whole White Lotus Sword Domain, and even could borrow the power of the stars when necessary.

  Its full name was White Lotus Ten Killing Formations. If it was fully activated, its defensive power could even reach the legend rank. After being strengthened by the witches of the Witch Palace from generation to generation, its strength had long reached the level that no hero rank beings could break through.

  The number of times this place being invaded was zero before today!

  "..." Mei (Star Snow) tilted her head. She didn't know how she came in too, because she just wanted to sleep under the sun, so she naturally came to this place.

  "There must be a problem!"

  "Are you a traitor?"

  "Explain this! How did you sneak in here?!" Red Lotus looked at her and subconsciously felt that something was wrong.

  With a flash of the flame, she summoned the Red Lotus Holy Sword and put it on Mei's neck.

  Red Lotus Holy Sword, the strongest weapon of the Witch Palace!

  It contained the power of the flames of heaven. Rumors said that it was a sacred sword that could burn heaven and the earth. The handle of the sword looked like a ten-leaf red lotus.

  Every petal showed a brilliant crimson, as if there was blood flowing on it.

  "Sister, don't scare her." White Lotus pinched her fingers to predict, then understood how Mei could come in.

  That was too obvious. She could even see the mysterious power that covered Mei's body with her naked eyes. Because of that power, the defense system of the Sword Palace didn't do anything to Mei.

  The power contained a breath that was immeasurably old and full of vicissitudes, like an endless desert.

  In the whole of White Lotus Sword Domain, only one person could be the master of that power.

  "Is it because of this?" White Lotus stretched out her slender hand and pulled out the shell necklace from Mei's chest. In an instant, a mysterious aura that only strong swordsmen could feel spread in the air, which in turn suppressed the burning aura of the Red Lotus Holy Sword.

  "This is..." Red Lotus's eyes changed subtly.

  "Yes, it’s Master Casina’s token, the power of the Sands of Time." White Lotus smelled the fragrance on the shell with a drunken look on her face.
