Chapter 635: Not Siblings, Not Bound by Sect
Misha raised her face from his shoulder, her golden eyes sparkling. "It’s been a while since I heard you say that. I’m proud of you." She cupped his cheeks tenderly. "But don’t send me away next time—I’ll become strong enough so you won’t have to."
A mischievous grin curved on Adam’s lips as he nodded. "We have all the time and resources in the realm to become the strongest. Forget about the sect." He raised his clenched fist. "This is our new home!"
Misha pulled back. She spun on herself in delight, the noise of her clapping hands enlivening the library. "Finally. No more hiding or waiting! You repaid Mei Lan and Shen Wu, so nothing holds us back." She glanced at the forest of shelves, raising her thumb. "And we have all the battle and cultivation techniques we could hope for. Great job!"
As they shared their delight, Xie Lian’s eyes couldn’t help but widen. That sibling relationship seemed off—too much tenderness and contact, almost like a shy couple... She recoiled in horror. She had to stop them before they committed a grave sin.
With a cough, she stepped back and gazed the two children in the eyes. "Listen, there are some things that siblings can’t do. You know what I mean? Things reserved for your dao partner like kissing or sleeping together."
Adam and Misha glanced at each other, rolling their eyes.
"You should have understood we’re not from this realm in the first place. We forged our identities to blend with the others. I’m from the original magic world, while Misha comes from one with advanced science." He raised a mocking brow. "How do you want us to be siblings if we’re not from the same place? Also, I’m actually twenty-three. I reincarnated when I turned fifteen, so don’t lecture me."
Xie Lian almost choked on her saliva. She had noticed Adam’s maturity, but reincarnation? Was that even possible? The original magic world! The mages were indeed foreigners who claimed the western island in their realms!
Her legs buckled as the influx of unexpected information pounded at her mind. Yet, a question overwhelmed them all.
