"Madam, I have told you everything I know; now there should be no more confusion in your heart."
Due to her previous successful escapade, Bai Meow gained the right to make a wish to Myin;
Subsequently, she used the excuse of fulfilling her wish to ask Myin, the informant, to tell her everything he knew in detail.
As Myin narrated, Bai Meow paid close attention,
There were many things to be said, so Myin had already had a can of orange carbonated beverage midway through.
When Myin spoke the sentence above, like a summary, her slim throat moved up and down once, as if the drink had taken effect.
Bai Meow did not pay attention to such things; her mind was only focused on solving one question, which then gave way to the emergence of a second question.
How should she face her big brother in the future, just like before?
Or, should she gradually change the relationship with her big brother from now on?
Coincidentally, at this moment, Myin, who lowered her eyes corners slowly, also had another question to ask:
"Madam, have you decided to make a change in the future? As a return for what I said before, please be sure to tell me your current thoughts."
To hear the answer, Myin waited while drinking her beverage, about the time it takes to cook a bowl of noodles, before finally hearing a voice saying:
"I am still me."
Before her reincarnation, Bai Meow was an assassin of the 'Disaster Eradication Society';
Now, she is the princess of the beastkin kingdom, and compared to the past, she seems to have become a completely different person.
But one thing remains unchanged.
Bai wants to accompany the ranger, and Bai Meow also hopes to be by her big brother’s side;
One soul has given rise to two completely different people, nurturing the same attachment and giving rise to a unique companionship.
At this moment, before Bai Meow, a figure gradually appeared.
It was a girl who looked exactly like her, with the only difference being:
Bai Meow now had empty hands, while the figure opposite held a dagger in each hand.
Dialogue between the same person can only be heard by the person involved.
"You are me."
"I am you."
Both Bai and Bai Meow couldn’t tell whose consciousness spoke first, but the next sentence was indeed said together:
"We are the same, both disliking speaking, both fond of playing, and both wanting to stay by the same person's side!"
Bai Meow asked:
"Do you feel regretful?"
White answered:
"Perhaps before today, I might have felt some regret, but not anymore."
"Because your regret will be filled by me."
"There is not much else to say."
"Only one more thing..."
"Hey, yes, one more thing."
"No matter in which life---"
"No matter who I become---"
At this moment, the souls completely merged, consciousness and minds synchronizing entirely;
Past memories, along with current thoughts, converged to create a unified voice, with one person speaking two sounds:
"I still like my big brother!"
Even though this young girl didn't fully understand what "liking" meant, the eternal emotion was as solid as a rock.
There was no romantic relationship between her and her "big brother," and it was not a further step of identity;
But she could, and wanted, to accompany him for life;
This might be the most steadfast confession of enduring love.
Upon hearing this unwavering response, Myin felt a bit relieved.
Since witnessing the parting of the two, Myin had been hoping to see the revival of such intense feelings that transcended lifetimes.
This is humanity!
Myin sighed once more in her heart, admiring the peculiar creatures that usually did not live beyond a hundred years but left behind eternal sentiments;
She began to admire a certain part of people, including the little girl in front of her.
As a sense of relief overflowed from Myin's heart, a question naturally came out:
"Madam, should I tell the old master about these events in full detail?"
"...(shake head shake head)"
"No need, right? Shall we act as if nothing happened, and you and the old master continue as before?"
"...(shake head shake head)"
"What exactly are your thoughts, Madam? Please express them in words without letting me guess."
"I want to qualify to be with my big brother!"
Bai Meow blurted out this statement, the answer she had pondered about regarding the two previous questions that suddenly arose.
When considering the qualification to be together with a man and a woman, Myin could only think of a marriage certificate;
But that was not right. The rules on the mainland always considered sixteen as the age of adulthood, and analyzing the ages would reveal that Bai Meow clearly did not meet the requirements.
For an underage girl like her, if she were to register with an adult like her big brother, it would only lead to the latter being thrown into a dark, damp cell.
Myin believed she couldn’t think of a proper qualification proof. However, she did not necessarily need to figure it out.
Just knowing that Bai Meow had decided to change the way they interact was already enough for Myin.
As for the doubt she couldn't understand, she would leave it for someone else to figure out.
Thinking this, Myin set down the can and walked to her storage room, taking out a gift to present to Bai Meow:
"Here, as a return for your thoughtful answers, I present this to you."
The item Myin held was a pair of daggers shaped like shark teeth.
"This is a good item. Once, a noble made a wish to me to have a physique that pets would like; as payment, I took these ancestral daggers from him."
The reason Myin chose to give the dagger was to ensure Bai Meow had some self-defense ability.
If Bai Meow could only rely on spell casting in future battles and she encountered an opponent who could neutralize spells, she would basically be done for.
Out of caution, Myin placed the dagger in Bai Meow's palm.
Perhaps influenced by her past life, Bai Meow could tell the quality of the new weapon just by feeling its weight; this might be the first weapon she liked in this life. Adding that "big sister" didn't mind, she accepted it and expressed gratitude.
And thus, the conversation between the girls came to an end.
When the two walked out of the room, Wang Xiaole, waiting outside, could barely suppress a yawn.
Soon, the tides turned.
Myin approached Wang Xiaole, dragging him into the room in front of Bai Meow.
"Hey, wait! What's going on?"
In an instant, Wang Xiaole seemed wide awake and, leaning into the room with his body slanted, he was pulled in and the heavy door closed, possibly locking automatically.
Having been to the room before, Bai Meow could roughly guess:
"Sister" must have taken "big brother" into the room to discuss something in private with only the two of them.
Bai Meow understood Myin's thoughts and did not interfere, though she was somewhat unhappy;
She made up her mind:
If she heard any strange noises from the room, she would rush in immediately!
Just as this determination took form, the two inside finally began to talk:
"I'm really eager to see if the master, who has established connections with two other women, can still be with the remaining six girls..."
"Stop!"
At the word, Wang Xiaole raised his right index finger, pressing it against the palm of his left hand with a serious gesture of stopping.
"Master, interrupting a girl while she speaks is not good."
With that, Myin acted, splitting the hands of the person in front of her and adjusting their posture, offering a serious suggestion:
"I'm fine with whatever, but if the master treats other women this way, it will lower their favorability. Please don't do this in the future."
"I didn't mean anything else, just wanted to know: Myin, after you brought me in, what were you talking about?"
"We were discussing the master starting a harem!"
"Why here? More importantly, why are you discussing this topic with me?"
"Eh, master, do you consider me an outsider? It was my efforts that allowed the madam outside to smoothly enter your harem."
"So you were... discussing inappropriate topics with Bai Meow just now, right!?"
At this moment, Wang Xiaole started worrying whether Bai Meow's pure thoughts had been unnecessarily tainted.
"Don't worry, master. I didn’t speak about topics that don't suit her age with the madam."
"Really?"
"Really, I swear by my honor."
"As long as not...OK."
Wang Xiaole pressed his hand against his chest and exhaled lightly, feeling reassured
Indeed!
He knew very well:
Celebrating prematurely was definitely not a good sign;
In order not to waste his emotions later, he deliberately fixed a skeptical gaze on Myin until the latter slowly uttered the second half of the sentence:
"The conversations we had will have no effect other than making her not marry anyone but you in this lifetime, everything else will remain the same."
Crack, crack.
Wang Xiaole's palms suddenly locked onto Myin's shoulders, the pressure causing beads of sweat to form on her forehead.
"Master, let's talk calmly; there's no need for this."
Myin didn't know what was going on.
From her point of view, the look in the other person's eyes suddenly became much disdainful, as if viewing her as an irredeemable waste product.
At this moment, she couldn't help but touch her forehead with a finger, raising her gaze in thought:
"What have I done to displease the master?"
"Rest assured, Myin, you have done nothing wrong; at most, you have added more difficulties to my future life through some clever words."
"Hey, do you really think this way, master? You don't want any more members in your harem?"
"It's not that I don't want, it's just that you moved too fast."
Wang Xiaole could sense to some extent Bai Meow's attraction to him.
He is not a pretentious person and will not prevent Bai Meow from developing feelings for him, nor will he feel uncomfortable about it. On the contrary, he is somewhat pleased.
The current situation is this:
He is already married to Isabella and Lucia and is preparing to spend some time to help the two of them live together harmoniously and stably before dealing with the feelings between him and Bai Meow.
But lo and behold, Myin, directly through a conversation, caused the budding of feelings in Bai Meow's heart ahead of time;
This has brought him, who is already in a love triangle, into a new situation of being "surrounded by a triangle."
To reiterate, Myin has not done anything wrong, but his actions were just too hasty, overturning the comprehensive plan previously set by Wang Xiaole.
