Chapter 11: Night (part 2)
“The needle is not bad~ This night sky.” After helping set up the tent, Aoxi propped one hand behind her, the other on her knee, sitting on the beach not far away and sighing.
“The starry river shines brilliantly, nothing more than this.” Obei also leaned close to Aoxi, hugging her knees while sitting.
“There’s only one moon too.” La, who was organizing the inside of the tent with her back to the two, said.
“Sister La, don’t casually say such terrifying things~ I don’t want to go to Terra, no matter which one!”
Aoxi shuddered, her tone serious.
“By the way, haven’t we peed at all today? I still want to try what it feels like to use the toilet with a girl’s body.”
Obei was somewhat speechless at Aoxi’s jumping statement.
“As expected, your head is filled with all sorts of strange junk. If you want to try, go try now. Remember to go far away.”
“Forget it, now that you mention it, I’m not that curious anymore.”
“By the way, I feel like there’s something wrong with my mindset now. I still think of myself as a man, but looking at you and Sister La, these two little beauties, I have no interest at all.” Aoxi casually spouted another outrageous statement.
“？！”
“Our current appearance with Big Sister is probably only eight or nine years old. What interest do you want to have?! How dare you have any interest?!
Guys with thoughts like yours should all be dragged out and executed by firing squad! If you don’t like girls anymore, just go be a gay guy, pervert idiot!”
Obei was clearly startled by Red Hair’s one outrageous statement after another, quickly patting her butt while spitting words like a machine gun, then fleeing into the tent like she was escaping.
“With men…”
Aoxi mentally reviewed popular works like 《Chao Family》, 《Mercury’s Devil Man》, 《Filial Piety Song》, and immediately shook her head like a husky shaking off water.
“Wuluwuluwulu… No no, absolutely not!”
“Sigh~ Can’t accept men, no feeling for girls… Oh no! Am I going to awaken some strange Indian-style fetish in the future?!
Gua! Sister La, quickly use your invincible world-shocking wisdom to think of a way!”
“My suggestion is to obediently go to sleep first. Maybe one day you’ll meet someone whose charm is enough to transcend gender factors~
After all, gender has never been a necessary condition for love.” La said without looking back.
“Charm that transcends gender… Wow~ So Sister La, your thinking is this open-minded? I thought you were a firm heterosexualist~”
“It doesn’t matter. As long as it doesn’t affect me, I respect and bless others’ sexual orientations, of course including yours.
Alright, time to sleep.” La lay down and closed her eyes.
“But I can’t sleep~ This body is full of energy now, it feels like I wouldn’t have a problem even if I never sleep.
We won’t turn into ultimate creatures that don’t need to eat, don’t need to sleep, and don’t need to use the toilet in the future, right?
Hiss~ Sounds pretty convenient.”
“Shut up Aoxi, Big Sister is already very tired today. If you really can’t sleep, just stand guard outside.”
After lying down next to La, Obei said to Aoxi.
La didn’t speak again. Today, while exploring the Millennium Puzzle, she accidentally consumed too much energy, and had been using divine power to maintain their clothes, plus dealing with these two treasures’ occasional weird questions. Even she was a bit fatigued.
For La, who was currently still in her childhood period in fact, although her body hardly fatigued and didn’t need to recover energy through sleep.
But lying quietly was still a nice way to relax, just like sometimes you’re not hungry but still eat snacks.
Closing her eyes, her consciousness gradually returned to her soul, and in the soft light, La actually fell into a dream.
The night was very dark, countless colorful things like soap bubbles scattered floating in the air, endless as far as the eye could see.
La dreamed of herself turning into a small bird, vigorously flapping her wings shuttling between bubbles, as if searching for something.
She felt very tired, countless bubbles seeming endless to find;
She felt very confused, the night’s darkness making her unable to find the direction to fly;
She felt very cold, the chill in the air seeming to freeze her;
She felt very lonely, her heartbeat seeming to be the only sound here.
『Sky, not bright yet?』 This was La’s only thought at the time.
……
“Sister La（ Big Sister）, get up and eat breakfast!” Two somewhat childish voices woke La.
Opening her eyes, two delicate little faces squeezed into her pupils, and behind them was a bright red-gold sunrise.
“Sorry, I slept a bit long.” La gave the two a smile from the heart.
“So, so dazzling! This smile, could it be the legendary attractiveness wielding a million horsepower—Pure Beauty Explosion Strike?! Gua! Obei, retreat quickly!”
Aoxi blocked her eyes with both arms, shouting while retreating.
“?”
La looked puzzled at Aoxi who was showing off again, then shifted her gaze to Obei.
“Mm, overthrow nations and cities, peerless beauty, absolutely has the makings of the highest rank!”
Obei blushed and looked away, this time unusually agreeing with Aoxi.
Seeing this, La decided to skip the topic and continued asking: “By the way, you two made breakfast? I’m looking forward to it.”
“That’s right, guaranteed to surprise Sister La!”
Aoxi quickly ran outside the tent, soon carrying back a stone pot.
“Ta-da! Aoxi special, Seven-Colored Magical Fantasy Auspicious Cloud Soup!”
Aoxi lifted the lid, a golden light shot straight to the clouds… well, no golden light, just an ordinary mushroom egg drop soup.
No, saying ordinary isn’t accurate, after all, the mushrooms inside looked colorful, flashy and showy.
La: “…”
“Hey~ Don’t rush to dislike it, Sister La.
Now that we have the innate food mushroom holy body that countless Yunnan people dream of, aren’t you curious what these mushrooms taste like?” Aoxi continued to urge.
And sure enough, La was hooked with a bit of curiosity.
The previous life’s “You Ling” really liked eating various fungi, every time hot pot all kinds of mushrooms were ordered completely.
“Very well, I’ll try it.”
La used a bamboo spoon to scoop a shallow spoonful, blew it cool, and put it in her mouth.
After savoring it carefully, La gently put down the spoon and smiled, asking: “Did you taste it after cooking?”
“No, but it smelled quite good.”
Seeing La didn’t show any frowning or bitter face, Aoxi felt relieved and answered decisively.
“This is thinking of leaving the first bowl of soup for you. Obei wanted to taste first but I didn’t let her! Hehe~”
“Big Sister, I tried my best to stop her.” Obei explained from the side.
“I know, thanks for your hard work Obei.”
La said to Aoxi again: “You are my sister now, this is naturally harmless. But next time when feeding others something you made, remember to taste it yourself first, got it?”
“Eh? Could the soup be hard to drink? Impossible~ I clearly did detailed calculations.”
Aoxi couldn’t accept this fact.
“Uh, what did you calculate with?” Obei couldn’t help asking.
“Imagination!”
Aoxi answered immediately, then added: “Rich imagination.”
……
“By the way, where did this pot come from?” Skipping the soup issue, La noticed the stone pot in her hand with obvious handmade traces.
“Oh, there’s like an ancient ruin south of the forest, we dug it out from there. Ptoo~ Urgh~~”
Aoxi tasted a sip of her own creation, then spat it right out.
“Sigh~ Even a genius like me can’t succeed on the first try? Heaven is really harsh~ Obei, want to try too?”
“But unfortunately it’s already severely damaged there, otherwise we could move there to sleep.” Obei completely ignored Aoxi and continued adding.
“But since there’s this ruin on the island, maybe there are others elsewhere. After eating, take me to see first.” Saying this, La continued drinking the mushroom soup.
“Sister La, this soup is so hard to drink, don’t drink it. Let me dump it.” Aoxi wanted to grab the stone pot to pour it out.
“No problem, since you made it yourself and it’s your first time cooking, as a sister I naturally have to finish it all.
And the taste isn’t really bad, just a bit strange.”
One spoonful after another, La calmly and elegantly finished the pot of soup, wiped her mouth with flames, then left Aoxi full of emotion washing the pot at the seaside.
