Battle Through the Heavens, Reborn as Xiao Yan's Sister

Chapter 10 Festival
The two maids moved quickly, their specially made daggers were very sharp, and in no time they had neatly dismembered the unicorn wolf's carcass.

Inside the house in the small courtyard,
Xiao Yue had already lit the fire and set up the iron mesh. On the plate on the table were slices of monster meat that the maid had already cut and washed.

beside,

Xiao Yue's mother, Liu Yan, was still concerned about her safety, nagging her incessantly. Unfortunately, Xiao Yue had long since become immune to it. No matter how much her mother criticized her, she didn't get angry. She would just smile, nod, and then brush it off.

"You silly girl, I heard you weren't at the tests this year. Your brother broke through to the Dou Zhe level, did you know?" the mother said.

In the remote country of the Gama Empire, to begin cultivation at the age of five and advance to the rank of Fighter at the age of eleven is indeed an unparalleled genius.

Xiao Yan's reputation as an unparalleled genius began to spread throughout the Gama Empire by caravans, adventurers, mercenaries, and others traveling to and from Wutan City. It was even rumored that the news reached the capital, making him a household name.

Xiao's mother was very happy about her son's breakthrough to the Dou Zhe level, and specially gave him the ring she had worn for decades as a gift.

"Oh, that's good."

Xiao Yue nodded calmly.
After all,

She picked up a piece of grilled meat and put it in her mother's bowl before starting her own meal.

"I was too gentle with you, so much so that I lost all my maternal authority in front of you." Looking at her daughter's indifferent attitude as she continued to eat, the beautiful woman gently rubbed her forehead, a hint of helplessness flashing in her eyes.

"You two are such a worry. Well, I came here mainly for the winter solstice. You two are growing taller this year, so I sewed you a few new winter clothes. Try them on later and see if they fit..." Seeing Xiao Yue still engrossed in eating, Xiao's mother couldn't help but sigh.

Saying,

She had her two personal maids bring out the bags containing the new clothes.

"Thank you, aunt."

Xiao Xun'er behaved very obediently and took the packed bag. Over the years, the Xiao family couple had always raised her as their own daughter, and she truly regarded Liu Yan as her own mother.

Xiao Yue suddenly stopped eating, stared into her mother's eyes, frowned and asked, "Have you been staying up all night again to finish making clothes?"

"It didn't take that long..."

Faced with her daughter's gaze, Liu Yan, as the mother, seemed to avoid it, sitting upright and her voice was no longer as confident as before, as if the roles had been reversed.

Xiao Yue sighed softly upon hearing this.
Like her,
Her mother, Liu Yan, also had a constitution that prevented her from cultivating battle qi, which led to her being weak and sickly. If it weren't for Xiao Yue secretly preparing health-preserving medicines for her and using acupuncture to nourish her body over the years, the consequences would have been unimaginable.

Seeing this unexpected turn of events, Xiao Xun'er covered her mouth and chuckled softly. The slight resentment she had felt for her sister's disappearance for half a month gradually faded away.

perhaps,

That's why she really enjoys having Yue'er around.

……

……

……

Winter arrives, and the first day of the Lunar New Year begins.

Snowflakes swirled in the sky, blanketing the ground in white. Wutan City had entered its coldest time of year; the air was biting, with howling winds and dancing snowflakes, and breath quickly turning to ice. Today was the Xiao family's ancestral worship day, an important event prepared well in advance, and held on the first day of the new year.
At the end of the year, all the business managers of the Xiao family will be returning to participate in the year-end assessment and settle accounts with the businesses. The assessment test for the younger generation of the clan was already held yesterday.

The attendees at the clan meeting were all designated stewards, from the clan head down to members of various branches and descendants within the clan.

As soon as the sky began to lighten with the first hint of dawn, people started returning one after another. The Xiao family's gate was bustling with people coming and going, including returning stewards, elite members, direct descendants, and outgoing branch families.

The clan members began to take their seats just before noon.

Xiao Yue timed it perfectly.

After eating dozens of kilograms of meat in the house, barely feeling seven-tenths full, he circulated his internal energy and blood, tempered his physical body, practiced martial arts for a while, and then slowly left the small courtyard behind the mountain. He appeared in the middle of the crowd at the right time, and there was no one to lecture him today.

The winter snow fell heavily, with large, fluffy snowflakes fluttering down.

The harshness of winter was transformed into something surprisingly gentle by the soft, slowly falling snowflakes.

Xiao Yue wore a white jade fox fur coat. She was already tall and slender, with a height comparable to that of an adult. The fur collar, made by her mother, fit her surprisingly well.

It wasn't actually that cold, but looking at the heavy snowfall, Xiao Yue felt that dressing like this was indeed appropriate for the occasion...

Moreover, it was this gift from her mother that made her even more radiant than before, standing out from the crowd like a goddess descended to earth, so captivating that people dared not look directly at her. Her long, silvery-white hair cascaded down, exuding indescribable beauty, elegance, and noble refinement.

"sister!"

On the way,

He happened to run into Xiao Yan, who was surrounded by a group of teenagers around his age, and greeted Xiao Yue.

"Um…"

Xiao Yue glanced at the black-robed youth who was a head shorter than her, and gave a faint "hmm" in response.

Xiao Yan didn't elaborate further on this.
This is a unique way for siblings to get along. After all, they haven't talked much since they were little. To outsiders, such simple conversations might seem like a sign of coldness and distance between them, but only those who are truly close to them know that their relationship has always been quite good.

Speaking of,
The siblings were wearing the same clothes, so their mother clearly didn't treat them differently for any reason.

"Sister Yue'er..."

A familiar, pleasant voice came from behind.

The girl wore a purple dress with a white fox fur coat over it. The hood was off, and her delicate, fair hands were behind her back. She leaned forward slightly, her bright eyes curving gently as she smiled serenely, like a lotus bud waiting to bloom. She was wearing a new dress that her mother had just sewn yesterday.

"Great, it fits perfectly, it's beautiful, it's cute..."

Xiao Yue chuckled softly.

Hearing her praise, Xiao Xun'er's smile deepened, and she couldn't help but affectionately hug the other person's arm.

Before the festival,
Xiao Yue's father stood on the high platform and began a lengthy speech as clan chief. After he finished, the elders and the top-performing management team of the year gave their speeches.

Ok,
Overall, it has a fantastic hypnotic effect and is very suitable for treating insomnia.
