Godslayer: You get two at the start, Supreme Divine Ruins.

The golden rays of sunrise gently streamed through the window and fell upon Lin Wan'er.

She got up very early; more accurately, she hadn't slept all night. The tender kiss between Lin Xiao and Hong Ying played on repeat in her mind like a film reel until dawn.

So, she relied on the power of her cultivation to get through the long night.

As she walked downstairs, she saw Lin Xiao and Hong Ying busy preparing breakfast, their smiles as warm as the early spring sun.

"Good morning, sister-in-law!"

Lin Wan'er's voice was clear and crisp, but it couldn't hide a trace of fatigue.

Upon hearing this, Hongying's cheeks flushed slightly, but in an instant, her eyes revealed deep concern for Lin Wan'er.

"Wan'er, you don't look well. Didn't you sleep well? Is the bed uncomfortable? Shall I get you a different one?"

Lin Xiao also looked at her with concern, noticing the faint dark circles under Lin Wan'er's eyes, and said with heartache, "Wan'er, go to sleep for a while after you finish eating."

Lin Wan'er gently shook her head; the emotions in her heart made it difficult for her to fall asleep.

She walked to the dining table, and the breakfast in front of her seemed tailor-made for her, instantly brightening her eyes.

"Wow, these are all my favorite foods!"

Hongying smiled radiantly and personally handed a small steamed bun to Lin Wan'er's mouth: "This was told to me by my naughty little brother, but I made them all myself. Wan'er, try it and see how it tastes."

Lin Wan'er opened her small mouth and swallowed the xiaolongbao in one gulp, her face full of satisfaction.

"It's so delicious! Sister Hongying's cooking is amazing!"

Hongying smiled even more brightly, pulled Lin Wan'er to sit down, and kept putting food on her plate.

"If you like it, then eat more!"

Lin Xiao picked up a steamed bun, ate it while laughing, and said, "I'll go upstairs to wake up Qi Ye and Xiao Nan. You two take your time eating."

As Lin Xiao's figure disappeared into the stairwell, only Hong Ying and Lin Wan'er remained in the dining room.

Hongying looked at Lin Wan'er, who was eating a steamed bun with her head down, and a hint of tenderness and helplessness flashed in her eyes. She sighed softly, "Wan'er, you like your stinky little brother too, don't you?"

Lin Wan'er paused in her movements, looked up at Hong Ying in surprise, her eyes filled with both astonishment and shyness.

"Sister Hongying, you..."

She was somewhat afraid to look Hongying in the eye, because in her heart, she was just Lin Xiao's sister, while Hongying was his rightful girlfriend.

Hongying gently stroked Lin Wan'er's hair, as if comforting a frightened child: "I actually noticed your thoughts a long time ago."

Your little brother may not have noticed because he's used to your interactions, but Xiao Nan and I both sensed yesterday that your feelings for Lin Xiao are unusual.

Besides, he took care of you since you were little, so it's only natural that you have feelings for him.

Lin Wan'er lowered her head, her heart filled with mixed emotions, unsure how to respond.

"Also, the black bracelet on your little brother's wrist and the red bracelet you're hiding in your sleeve are a pair. They symbolize: life and soul, an unbreakable love."

Lin Wan'er tucked the protruding red bracelet back into her sleeve, even more surprised: "Sister Hongying, with your personality, you shouldn't care about these symbolisms."

Hongying gave a bitter smile, recalling everything that happened last night, she felt somewhat ashamed and annoyed.

"It's all that brat's fault. Yesterday, when he was instructing me on how to shoot, I accidentally caught a glimpse of that black hand rope."

At the time, I didn't know its meaning. Only after we parted did I look it up online and realize its deeper significance, but it was too late.

Hongying spoke with a hint of annoyance, stuffing two steaming hot buns into her mouth as she spoke.

"That brat was definitely doing it on purpose. He kept your black bracelet while saying that we were destined to be together. What a scoundrel."

Seeing this, Lin Wan'er quickly handed over a cup of soy milk and defended Lin Xiao, saying, "Sister Hongying, it's not Xiao's fault. He probably didn't know the meaning. Actually, I gave him that black bracelet as a reward after I lost the competition with him yesterday."

Hongying took the soy milk, took a sip, and looked at Wan'er with a determined gaze: "Sister Wan'er, it's not easy for me to fall in love like this, and I won't give up easily."

But I won't make things difficult for you because of this; that would be too unfair to you.

As for whether you can win your little brother's heart, that depends on you.

Lin Wan'er looked at Hong Ying with tears glistening in her eyes. She had thought that Hong Ying would hold a grudge against her, but she hadn't expected Hong Ying to be so magnanimous.

She hugged Hongying tightly, her body trembling slightly, and sobbed softly in Hongying's arms: "Sister Hongying, thank you."

Hongying gently comforted Wan'er: "Don't thank me, this is not your fault. Feelings are inherently emotional, and reason cannot control them."

Lin Wan'er suddenly remembered what Lin Xiao had said last night, pouted, and said unhappily, "Sister Hongying, Xiao told me last night that the Dao Ancestor had predicted more than one marriage for him, and that there would be several more in the future."

Upon hearing this, Hongying gritted her teeth and said, "This brat, he's such a womanizer! Having two beauties like us isn't enough for him, he wants to find a few more?"

Lin Wan'er also wrinkled her nose: "Hmph, according to Huai Xiao's idea, there will definitely be a few more."

At this moment, Lin Xiao came down the stairs, followed by Si Xiaonan and Lin Qiye.

When Hongying and Lin Wan'er saw him come down, they both snorted and turned their heads away, ignoring him.

Lin Xiao scratched his head, completely bewildered, wondering what he had done to offend them. Women's hearts are truly unfathomable.

Lin Qiye didn't notice anything unusual, found a seat, and started to enjoy his breakfast.

Si Xiaonan looked at Hongying with a smile: "Sister Hongying, the black bracelet on Lin Xiao's hand was given to you by you, right?"

The meaning is 'the soul of life, an unbreakable love,' how romantic!

Her words surprised everyone. Lin Qiye silently gave Lin Xiao a thumbs up and then said, "Hello, sister-in-law."

Lin Wan'er's face instantly stiffened. She hadn't expected Si Xiaonan to directly state the meaning. Wouldn't that mean Lin Xiao would know?

Hongying was in a dilemma. It wouldn't do to say that she gave it to Si Xiaonan, but it wouldn't do to say that she didn't either. So she picked up the steamed buns and stuffed them into Si Xiaonan's mouth: "Hurry up and eat. Why are you gossiping so much?"

Lin Xiao's eyes widened in surprise. He looked at Lin Wan'er, who was eating silently with her head down, and suddenly realized what was going on.

No wonder Wan'er looked disappointed when everyone teased him and Hongying yesterday;

No wonder Wan'er chased him away last night and asked him how many marriages he had.

No wonder Wan'er looked so listless this morning; she must have seen his intimate behavior with Hongying last night.

Lin Xiao was at a loss for how to face Lin Wan'er, and the breakfast ended in an awkward atmosphere.

Lin Xiao looked at Lin Wan'er, knowing that this was something he couldn't escape, nor could he avoid.

"Wan'er, let me take you back to sleep a little longer."

Lin Wan'er trembled slightly, knowing there was no way to avoid it, so she nodded and followed Lin Xiao upstairs.
