I'm About to Die, Can't I Buff My Junior Sister's Strength?

85: Is my sister really a reincarnation of a deity?Feeling the movement of the jade talisman, Murong Chen immediately turned his head, his lips twitching slightly, and he couldn’t help but say.

”Older Sister, are you here for tourism?”

”The Ruins have already opened, and you’re still sitting here eating hotpot?”

What exactly did you pack in that Storage Ring of yours?

Despite what he said, when Murong Chen saw the dead Ox Demon next to her, he couldn’t help but swallow, shocked in his heart.

”I really can’t understand Older Sister anymore. All she does every day is eat or sleep. How exactly does she Cultivate?”

”When did she kill a Nascent Soul Great Demon?”

”Could it really be as Father guessed? Is my Older Sister truly a Reincarnated Immortal??” Thinking of this, Murong Chen couldn’t help but show a look of fear, recalling his father’s words from that night, and the scene resurfaced in his mind.

Deep in the night, a figure had been hanging upside down in the deepest Canyon of Sunset Valley for three days.

At that time, Murong Chen’s Cultivation Base was Sealed, and he was already dizzy and nauseous, having thrown up countless times, unable even to howl anymore.

Immediately after, a plump middle-aged man with graying temples pulled him up and unsealed his Cultivation Base.

”Old Man, you really wanted to hang me to death! Didn’t you say we were just putting on a show for Older Sister? I almost kicked the bucket!!” After Murong Chen’s Cultivation Base recovered, he slumped weakly on the ground, half-dead.

”Alas, my son, you don’t know, your father had no choice. Your Older Sister gave the order, and I wouldn’t dare...” Murong Lan looked helpless. Then he waved his big hand as if possessing magic power. Murong Chen immediately felt refreshed, no longer listless, though he still had injuries all over his body.

”Old Man, what wouldn’t you dare to do?”

”You don’t know, I finally found a super Prodigy! It’s too exaggerated—a nineteen-year-old High Realm Hunyuan Grandmaster who also mastered Void Return-level Sword Dao Divine Ability, and most importantly, he’s handsome...”

”Also, you were the one who told me not to let any Prodigy slip away if I saw them outside, and to immediately arrange them for Older Sister...” Murong Chen grew more agitated and furious as he spoke, but before he could finish, a large hand clamped over his mouth.

Murong Lan cautiously looked around and whispered, ”Son, don’t say anything, your Old Man is begging you! At this hour, your Older Sister might still be eating a Late-night Snack. If she hears us, we’ll both end up hanging!!”

”??” Murong Chen looked bewildered, staring at Murong Lan in surprise.

What’s wrong with the Old Man?

He’s a Void Return Mighty Expert, yet why is he so scared!

How could Older Sister possibly eavesdrop on a Void Return Mighty Expert?

Gradually, Murong Lan saw no movement in the surrounding space and secretly sighed in relief.

It seems she must have gone to bed early today...”Old Man, what’s going on?” Murong Chen immediately pressed him.

”Alas~” Murong Lan sighed softly, then showed an extremely solemn expression and said, ”While you were out, your Older Sister went to the bottom of Sunset Valley to barbecue Yao Beast Skewers, using the meat of Great Perfection of Spirit Transformation Yao Beasts...”

”????” Murong Chen’s eyes immediately widened, and he quickly asked, ”Where did she get them?”

”Don’t tell me...”

”No, that Yao Beast looked unfamiliar to me. It must have been freshly slaughtered, not from our Sunset Valley inventory,” Murong Lan replied, his eyes still filled with deep shock.

”Ah, this...” Murong Chen was instantly dumbfounded.

”I can’t figure it out either. Your Older Sister stays in the Valley all day and never goes out, so where did she get the corpse of a Great Perfection of Spirit Transformation Yao Beast? Then, a few days ago, she just directly broke the Sunset Great Formation, casually picked up the spiritual wine I had stored for hundreds of years, and left...”

Speaking of this, Murong Lan’s face showed both heartache and shock.

That was a Void Return Great Formation! How did she break it with a single finger, just to grab some wine?

Why didn’t you just tell me? If you had asked, wouldn’t I have given it to you!!

”That’s impossible!”

”My Older Sister is terrifyingly lazy; all she does every day is sleep or eat. Making her Cultivate is like forcing her to die! How could she casually break the Sunset Great Formation??” Murong Chen was full of shock and disbelief. He knew his Older Sister’s talent was that of a Prodigy, reaching the Peak Golden Core stage at just eighteen, and possessing incredibly exaggerated Comprehension Ability in Formation, Pill Dao, and other areas, earning her the title of one of the Three Great Prodigies of Great Xia!

But it’s absolutely impossible for her to break a Void Return Formation!

What the heck is this?

Murong Lan narrowed his eyes slightly and analyzed very seriously: ”So I suspect that maybe your father’s Fortune is too strong, and the Heavens deliberately arranged for your Older Sister to be born into my Murong family. She is very likely a Reincarnated Immortal, perhaps one with a very lazy personality...”

”...” Murong Chen’s mouth twitched immediately. ’Old Man, can we have a little modesty?’

Murong Chen suddenly thought of something and asked, ”Old Man, be honest with me, did my Mother go to Eastern Profound before she died, and did she have any Heaven-Defying supreme ex-boyfriends or anything?”

Murong Lan’s face instantly darkened.

Murong Lan felt a strong Killing Intent and immediately added, ”No, Old Man, I didn’t mean anything else! I just think my Older Sister is too beautiful, and her talent, coupled with these outrageous actions now, plus her extremely relaxed personality which is nothing like us two men—I just suspect that maybe Mother lied to you back then, and Older Sister was actually adopted by her...”

”...” Murong Lan remained sullen and silent, but he didn’t refute.

He had actually long suspected whether this daughter was his own flesh and blood.

Why were her personality, appearance, and talent unlike anyone else?

Did he really wear a Cuckold’s Hat back then?

Or was she really adopted by Lan’er?

After all, when Murong Guoguo returned that year, she was already three years old.

”...” Murong Lan looked up at the night sky, feeling only a frantic blockage in his heart.

”Hah, Old Man, I just mentioned it casually, don’t take it to heart. Let’s get back on track. Since we suspect this, what should we do next?” Seeing that his words had silenced his Old Man, Murong Chen immediately changed the subject.

Murong Lan snapped back to attention and said, ”Your Older Sister recently fell in love with hotpot. I lied and told her that the Yao Beef from You Mountain is exceptionally tender, and since there’s a Ruins opening, you should go with her. You two were closest when you were little. Talk to her more; maybe she’ll tell you something. Even if my guess is wrong, it’s fine. It’s a good chance for her to go out and move around. It’s not appropriate for her to stay home all day, having grown up so much.”

”Me?” Murong Chen pointed to himself.

Old Man, are you kidding me?

You suspect she’s a Reincarnated Immortal, and you want me to go?

Am I your biological son?

Murong Lan nodded very seriously and said, ”You are the most suitable person to go!”

”Also, stop looking for a Brother-in-law. Although Shen Nian sounds like a Prodigy, if your Older Sister truly is a Reincarnated Immortal, he is still far too lacking.”

Murong Chen snapped out of his memory and immediately shivered.

He saw.

A half-headed Ox Demon of the Nascent Soul Stage was lying on the grass, having lost all signs of life, its eyes wide open as if it had experienced something terrifying before death.

Beside it, on a patch of secluded grass, a stove was constructed of Profound Iron. Inside the copper pot, red oil was boiling, emitting the hot, fragrant aroma of hotpot.

Next to the stove, a lazy figure sat on a small stool crafted from high-grade Spiritual Jade. It was a stunningly beautiful woman dressed in a moon-white robe, styled like a scholar, her long hair tied up with a jade hairpin. One long leg was casually stretched out, the other curled up on the stool, looking extremely... relaxed.

Her facial contours were sketched like ink wash painting. Perhaps due to the spiciness of the food, her cheeks were flushed red, her neck lines were delicate like fine porcelain, and her chest was extremely full, like a full moon.

At this moment, she was holding a bowl of rice, blowing on a Glistening Slice of Meat she had just picked up with big breaths, then eating it in one bite and chewing contentedly. A woman’s voice rang out in her mind, a voice that seemed to come from the Nine Heavens, like the sound of nature.

”Alas, your personality is still as lazy as it was in your previous life. After all these years, you never Cultivate. It’s one thing that your mind is still so simple in this Second Life, but can’t you put in a little more effort in this lifetime?”

The stunningly beautiful woman pouted, dipped her chopsticks back into the hotpot, and replied mentally, ”I know, I know, Sword Mother! How much longer are you going to nag?”

”I’ve already Cultivated a total of three times this year, okay!”

”I’ve really worked hard!”

”Look, isn’t there no one in the younger generation of Great Xia who is stronger than me?”

”This Great Xia is merely a Tiny Place. Who is worthy of comparison to you? Your gaze should be set upon the entire Chaos Universe!” Sword Mother immediately scoffed, her voice looking down upon all things.

”What kind of Wonton?” Jiang Churan picked up a slice of beef and immediately became interested.

”...”

Deep within her Divine Soul was a Black Iron Sword, nine stories high like an iron pagoda, named Nine Tribulations.

Beside it was a slender figure of unparalleled grace, seemingly walking out of a Mythological World. She was so transcendent, and on her indistinct face, she sighed helplessly: ”Alas~”

Who told this girl’s Sword Dao Talent to be so outrageous? Searching through ancient and modern times, it seems indeed few people are more of a Prodigy or more suitable to be her master.

If she’s lazy, then she’s lazy...
