...
Brother doesn't remember me, brother doesn't remember me.
He forgot about Sakura!
This thought echoed in the girl's mind. For a moment, she started to feel somewhat at a loss. Her face, which had become rosy due to excitement, now turned incredibly pale as if she had experienced something incredibly despairing.
No, no, I don't want this.
The girl felt the overwhelming despair, helplessness, and loneliness once again surrounding her. Although it was a bright sunny day, she couldn't feel any warmth; instead, her body and mind only felt endless coldness.
"Um, what's wrong with you?"
Zeng Yi looked at this unfamiliar girl, sensing that something was not right with her current state, and couldn't help but ask aloud.
As if piercing through the world, his voice awakened the girl who had been immersed in her own mental world. Her empty eyes gradually regained their colors.
Looking at the handsome face in front of her, the girl could still find the original resemblance in his features.
This young man was her brother whom she had been searching for.
"Sorry."
The girl nervously apologized to Zeng Yi and then turned around, using both hands to stroke the strand of silver-white hair hanging in front of her chest.
As the girl looked at her silver-white hair, her face stiffened. Her beautiful eyes widened and became vacant.
Yes, she was no longer her old self.
Her fair, jade-like hands stroked her hair, and her speed became increasingly rapid. Finally, the girl tightly gripped her hair, and the veins on the back of her hands appeared, as if trying to tear off this silver-white hair.
What was once incredibly beautiful and delicate silver white hair in her eyes now made her feel incredibly disgusted and irritable.
"Are you okay?"
Zeng Yi's voice came from behind again, and the girl paused. She let go of her tightly gripped hair, but a few strands still fell to the ground.
"Hehe, it's nothing, I just remembered some things."
The girl turned around to face Zeng Yi, waving her hands with a cheerful smile on her face. It was hard to believe that she had just seemed on the verge of a mental breakdown.
Although the girl said she was fine, Zeng Yi could still tell that there was something off with her state from her messy hair hanging in front of her.
It felt like there might be something wrong with her mentally.
But since she said she was fine, Zeng Yi didn't feel it was appropriate to inquire further.
"What do you need me for?" Zeng Yi asked the question again.
With a smile on her face, the girl leaned closer to Zeng Yi and asked, "Um, you are the Sword Master of Tempest, right?"
"That's right, it's me!" Zeng Yi nodded.
"I'm your fan!"
"My fan?" Zeng Yi was dumbfounded, looking at the girl in front of him who had her hands clasped in front of her chest, looking up at him with her big eyes filled with excitement and joy.
Hearing the girl saying so, Zeng Yi truly felt that this girl was his fan.
After all, he had used the name of the Sword Master of Tempest. During his battles in the Suotuo City's Spirit Arena and the Heaven Dou Spirit Arena, combined with his impressive record, the name of the Sword Master of Tempest had spread.
Although not very well-known, he still had some fame in the arenas where he had fought. With a little inquiry, one could easily find out.
Zeng Yi still remembered that, during his time in Suotuo City, there was actually a fan club formed by many girls specifically for the Sword Master of Tempest. In each battle, there would be fans in the audience holding banners to cheer for him.
"That's right! I still remember your unbeatable performance in the Suotuo Spirit Arena, you were really strong." The girl nodded excitedly, her eyes sparkling with admiration as she talked about Zeng Yi. She seemed like a devoted fan meeting her idol.
The girl naturally knew about Zeng Yi's achievements. She had long inquired about the deeds of the Sword Master of Tempest in the continent. If it weren't for some personal matters, she would have come to find him earlier, so why wait until today?
Listening to the girl, Zeng Yi scratched his head with a slightly embarrassed smile. "Haha, it's nothing, really."
So, this girl had been his fan since his time in Suotuo City.
Looking at the excited girl, Zeng Yi thought to himself.
"Um, can I ask you for a favor?" the girl suddenly asked, looking at Zeng Yi with pleading eyes.
"Uh." Zeng Yi thought for a moment and replied, "Well, tell me what you need."
Zeng Yi thought that since she was his fan and they had crossed paths, as long as her request wasn't too excessive, he would fulfill it within his capabilities.
"Um, can I hug you?" The girl blushed immediately after saying that, lowering her head and not daring to look at Zeng Yi.
Zeng Yi was momentarily stunned, looking at the girl who was too shy to meet his gaze.
A hug? Such an easy request?
But upon careful thought, what could a fan ask for? It could be a hug, a photo together, or an autograph.
Observing the delicate and gentle girl standing in front of him, Zeng Yi felt that he had gained something.
It's just a hug, come on! Girl, give me a few more hugs!
He might have thought that, but Zeng Yi was still a very serious person. He looked at the girl and showed a warm smile on his face.
"All right, I promise."
Upon hearing his answer, the girl suddenly raised her head, and what caught her eyes was Zeng Yi's radiant smile, like a bright sunshine.
For a moment, the girl froze, looking at this smile, she couldn't help but think of the past.
It was a smile just like this one, so radiant and full of sunshine. He extended his hands, pulling her out of the abyss of despair.
Many years had passed, but her brother had not changed at all.
But she had changed, changed into someone unrecognizable to her brother, even into someone she couldn't bear to imagine.
Tears welled up in the girl's eyes, her teardrops shimmering, ready to fall at any moment.
"Brother." the girl uncontrollably called out, opening her arms and throwing herself into Zeng Yi's embrace, tightly hugging the person she had yearned for day and night.
Her emotional call of "brother." seemingly pierced through Zeng Yi's soul, leaving him dumbfounded, his eyes widened as he stared at the girl clinging to him.
Zeng Yi couldn't help but recall his sister from his previous life and the little girl he had encountered during his wandering days.
The girl held onto Zeng Yi's waist tightly, burying her cheek against his chest.
This was the scent of her brother!
In Zeng Yi's embrace, the girl's breath gradually became heavier and greedier, surrounded by his masculine aura. A charming flush appeared on her delicate face, and her breath became intoxicating. In her mind, the thought kept resurfacing. This is the scent of her brother!
The idea kept swirling in the girl's mind as she greedily breathed in his scent. Little did Zeng Yi know that the girl in his arms, with her blushing face, had eyes that were now shining with a mysterious crimson color. Her mouth even split open, revealing a fierce grin.
I want to have him! I want to have this body forever!
Lost in his thoughts, Zeng Yi also sensed that something was wrong. He felt that the girl in his arms was exerting more and more strength, causing him some discomfort.
"Hey! What's wrong with you!" Zeng Yi shouted.
Suddenly, the girl, who had buried her face in Zeng Yi's chest, stopped. The eerie red glow in her eyes disappeared, and she quickly released her hold on him, stepping back a few steps with a somewhat frightened expression, looking at Zeng Yi.
"Why did it turn out like this?"
The girl stared blankly at Zeng Yi, softly murmuring to herself.
She was afraid. The thought that had arisen in her mind just now made her feel scared.
"Sorry, I'm sorry, I didn't mean it." the girl apologized to Zeng Yi with a remorseful expression. As she spoke, tears uncontrollably streamed down her face, and she began to sob softly.
