this infinite world

"I never thought that you would develop to this point during the time I was asleep."

In the magnificent Hall of Heroes, the River of Life, Liuli, wearing a silver crown and with a majestic temperament, sat on the magnificent throne, staring at Yang Yun and Setsuna standing below. An invisible pressure filled the air, making the two dare not raise their heads easily, and could only bow their heads in awe.

Liuli's voice echoed in the hall, without a trace of the gentleness of the past, but instead revealed an elusive joy and anger, calm and indifferent, and returned to the state when Yang Yun first saw her: "Moment, you have sprouted unnecessary emotions."

Hearing this, Shanna shuddered and could not even speak. He could only listen to Liuli continue to read out his crimes like a judge in a court: "If the process of Rongomyniad's separation from this plane was not too huge, I would not even be able to wake up from my sleep. And you actually turned such an extremely serious thing into a fact with your own strength?"

——Look, you said you would inform Liuli, but you were busy preparing your own body... and now the situation has turned out like this, right? !
Yang Yun stood at the bottom of the stairs, his toes slightly pressed against the cold ground, and an indescribable awkward atmosphere filled his body. Although Setsuna was the mastermind of this scene, and he had just heard about it, he still couldn't get rid of the heavy feeling of guilt, as if he was also an accomplice.

However, she who was always calm and composed in the past, now lost her calmness and confidence. Her expression revealed a kind of uneasiness and shame. She felt guilty under Liuli's all-seeing gaze, just like a little sister who was caught cheating by her elder sister.

"Setsuna, why didn't you notify me?"

The two of them were in extremely complicated moods at this moment, one was blaming himself and feeling embarrassed, the other was feeling ashamed and anxious. Liuli's words seemed to be intimidating without anger, and even more stressful: "We are obviously one of the three corpses, but you have always deliberately not shared your information and memories with me. Even if I hadn't woken up at this moment, I would have been completely kept in the dark by you again..."

"I was just too excited after Yang Yun broke through to the advanced level of the fourth stage, and didn't think about it seriously..."

"This is not a reason for you to make a rash decision."

Before Setsuna could finish, Liuli interrupted her. The girl, who looked exactly like Setsuna but was better in figure and other aspects, tapped the armrest of the throne with her knuckles, making a crisp sound: "The purpose of the Valkyrie Project is to create wise men who can overcome all difficulties and obstacles and complete the mission of saving the world even in the face of all kinds of adverse situations... But your current state completely goes against the original intention of the plan."

"With such behavior, where do you think I am in your heart? And where do you think of the original body who entrusted this important task to you, and the captain who trusted you?"

"Cough cough..."

Seeing Shanna's head lowering deeper and deeper, about to bury itself in his chest, Yang Yun felt that it would be a bit unreasonable if he didn't say something at this moment: "Well, actually, I have a problem too..."

"What's your problem?"

Sure enough, Liuli, who was originally giving her all, was distracted by Yang Yun's words and cast her lavender eyes over. Yang Yun immediately turned his brain around, cleared his throat and said, "I should have informed you first before making a decision on such an important matter as separating Longomyniad from this plane."

"continue."

"I should report the breakthrough to the advanced fourth stage to you first." Yang Yun was stunned, and then said: "After all, you have been sleeping all the time, and you don't know much about the situation outside."

"Well, what else?" "And..." Seeing that Liuli still refused to give in, a drop of sweat flowed down Yang Yun's head: "I shouldn't forget the sacrifices of Xin Ke and Captain Xin. It delayed me for so long..."

"Just so-so."

Seeing that Yang Yun couldn't think of any more excuses, Liuli propped her chin with her hand, sighed in boredom, and turned to Shan Na who lowered her head: "Then, Shan Na, go back and think about it carefully. How should you face the future, and how should you deal with your feelings and responsibilities..."

"have you understood?"

"……Yes."

……

"I really didn't expect that she would have the courage to take that step..."

Liuli watched the backs of Setsuna and Yang Yun fleeing in a hurry, with a complex emotion flashing in her eyes. The corners of her mouth slightly raised, outlining a faint smile, with both relief and some emotion. "But it's nothing more than meat rotten in the pot."

It was not like what she said before, that she was completely ignorant of the outside world. After decades of cultivation, Liuli was able to stay awake more and more. Last time, she was able to immediately sense Yang Yun's arrival and gave him a hug in her soul state.

Naturally, the moment Rongominiad started to work, Liuli realized everything that was happening in the outside world. As she also possessed the highest authority, she naturally knew about the battle between the two that lasted for three days and three nights through her own unique means.

——However, Liuli did not interrupt, but watched everything happen silently like an outsider who was detached from the world.

As one of the three corpses No. 10032, the bond between Liuli and Shanna is far more intimate than what ordinary people can understand. The two are essentially inseparable, each is a part of the other's life, sharing the same origin and fate, far closer than ordinary twin sisters, it is no exaggeration to say that they are each other's half...

There is no such thing as a thousand-day guard against thieves, only a thousand-day act of thief. Liuli knew this very well, so from the very beginning she did not care about Shanna's little tricks and secret plans that were hidden from her, as well as his overly friendly behavior towards Yang Yun... After all, she had experienced battles with Yang Yun and made promises, so she had enough patience to wait.

Compared to the moment when she was impatient when she learned that Yang Yun had reached the advanced fourth stage and thought about the day of separation, Liuli had long understood a truth: as for "enjoying" Yang Yun, it was nothing more than a question of who came first and who came later.

Just like wine tasting, after an in-depth exchange with a moment that was highly similar yet slightly different, the time of separation must have made the relationship between me and Yang Yun even more intoxicating.

The gains and losses of a city or a pond are not very important. What is important is who can become the longest river, not the highest mountain. To become the highest mountain, perhaps only a momentary impulse is needed; but to become the longest river, long-term persistence and patience are required.

——It just so happens that what Liuli lacks the most is enough patience. (End of this chapter)
