Cognitive Change

Just as Ye Chuan had anticipated, the red-quality entity was indeed his younger sister herself—the ultimate final boss. Seeing her abilities, even Ye Chuan couldn’t help but mutter,

"What the hell, is this even fair?"

However, Ye Yue’s powers seemed to lean toward nurturing subordinates—monsters—while possessing a unique ability to continuously resurrect and regenerate. Her devouring evolution was also peculiar, allowing her to acquire all of her prey’s abilities.

Fortunately, this world was just an ordinary modern human society. If it were a world of magic or cultivation, her endless consumption would be downright terrifying.

Next, Ye Chuan checked his rewards from the instance world, only to find… nothing.

"……"

No rewards?

Ye Chuan double-checked, confirming that there was indeed nothing.

"Damn, this sucks."

Beside him, Ye Yue tilted her head slightly, puzzled by his frustrated scratching and muttering. "Hm?"

From the looks of it, the only "reward" he had was Ye Yue herself.

Well, that and breaking through a major realm, directly advancing to the late-stage of the Ethereal Spirit realm.

"Does that mean I’ve surpassed Bai Qianshuang’s level now?" Ye Chuan suddenly felt that the level-up reward wasn’t so bad after all. Combined with Ye Yue’s overpowered abilities, she was practically another S-tier tenant.

"Ah well, good enough." Ye Chuan exhaled slowly.

At least he’d reached the Ethereal Spirit realm—a sixth-tier power level. With some buffs stacked, he might even stand a chance against a dragonkin.

"Come on, let’s go home." Ye Chuan extended his hand.

Ye Yue placed her small hand in his palm, then clasped it tightly.

"Mm!"

The Academy of the Voiceless—logged out!

The moment Ye Chuan and his sister left, the world constructed around Ye Yue as its core completely collapsed.

Dissolving into nothingness.

For the Voiceless, only by speaking love aloud could the cycle be broken.

……

……

It was over.

When Ye Chuan opened his eyes in his own bed, he stared blankly at the ceiling and murmured to himself.

An overwhelming exhaustion washed over him, and he nearly passed out the moment his head hit the pillow, as if his consciousness had been forcibly shut off.

The night passed without incident.

When he opened his eyes again, Ye Chuan sat up and yawned. The sunlight outside was warm, and he instinctively reached across the bed, only to find Ye Yue missing.

"……" His mind was still foggy.

But the next second, hearing noises from the living room, he jolted awake and teleported straight there!

No bloody scene greeted him. Instead, Ye Yue was sitting obediently at the dining table, being fed by Bai Qianshuang and Lan Xiaoke, while Luo Xi bustled around the kitchen in an apron, preparing breakfast.

Ye Chuan’s sudden appearance startled everyone, but Ye Yue quickly broke into a smile. "Good morning, Brother~"

"Uh… morning?" Ye Chuan reflexively glanced at Lan Xiaoke and the others.

"What’s wrong, Ye Chuan? Why so jumpy?" Lan Xiaoke eyed him curiously before turning to Ye Yue. "Your brother’s acting weird today."

"True." Bai Qianshuang gave him a look. "Why are you staring at Ye Yue like that? Did something happen?"

"Chuan, Little Yue woke up earlier than you. Stop sleeping in so much," Luo Xi chided as she carried a plate out.

Hearing their familiar, affectionate tones toward Ye Yue, Ye Chuan froze—then realized the truth.

Had Ye Yue altered their memories?

"Ye Yue, was this you?" Ye Chuan immediately turned to her.

"Sorry, Brother… I was worried you’d have trouble explaining my existence, so I took matters into my own hands…" Ye Yue lowered her head, her voice laced with a pleading sweetness.

"Please forgive me?"

"Change it back," Ye Chuan said.

Ye Yue blinked in surprise.

"If we’re family now, using abilities like this isn’t right, is it?" Ye Chuan smiled. "We don’t need this. Be good."

Ye Yue fell silent for a few seconds before nodding obediently. "I’ll listen to you."

The next moment, Lan Xiaoke and the others gasped in unison. "Huh? Wha—? Since when was there someone else here?"

"Wait, what?" Lan Xiaoke studied Ye Yue with open curiosity. "Who’re you? A friend of Ye Chuan’s?"

"Hm?" Bai Qianshuang remained expressionless. She didn’t keep track of Ye Chuan’s social circle, so an extra person at home didn’t faze her.

Luo Xi, however, looked at Ye Chuan. "Chuan, she…"

Ye Yue stiffened, nervously clutching her skirt. "I…"

"She’s my long-lost younger sister," Ye Chuan said, patting her shoulder reassuringly. "Her name’s Ye Yue. She’ll be living with us from now on."

"I… I’m Ye Yue. Nice to meet you all." She avoided their eyes, certain the excuse sounded flimsy.

But their reactions stunned her.

"Ohhh, so you’re Ye Chuan’s sister? Cute!" Lan Xiaoke, though clueless about when Ye Yue had arrived, was delighted to have another person around.

"Ye Yue, do you play games?"

"I… know a little…"

"What do you usually play? Ever tried Triangle Porridge?"

"F-Foot Porridge? The games I play… you probably haven’t heard of them."

"No way! I know every game out there." Lan Xiaoke struck a pose, playing the expert. "Name one!"

"Um…" Ye Yue listed a title, and Lan Xiaoke blanked. Then another, and another—each met with the same confusion.

"Uh… okay, maybe I haven’t…" Lan Xiaoke scratched her head.

"Of course she hasn’t," Ye Chuan thought dryly. "They’re not even from this world."

Bai Qianshuang, though curious about Ye Chuan suddenly having a sister, simply introduced herself. "I’m Bai Qianshuang. Hello."

"Hello, Sister Qianshuang!" Ye Yue beamed. "What’s your relationship with my brother?"

"Relationship?" Bai Qianshuang hesitated. "Cultivation partners."

"Cultivation partners?" The term was unfamiliar to Ye Yue.

As for Luo Xi—the one who knew Ye Chuan best—she didn’t question the sudden addition to the family. She just set breakfast on the table.

"Ye Yue, you’re welcome to stay here as long as you like."

"Oh, and I’m Luo Xi. I’m Chuan’s… girlfriend." She even blushed a little.

"Wow, Brother’s girlfriend is so pretty!" Ye Yue’s eyes curved into crescents.

"Ah, stop…" Luo Xi giggled shyly.

The speed at which everyone accepted Ye Yue surprised even her.

"See? Everyone’s nice. I’ll set up a room for you—you can stay there from now on." Ye Chuan ruffled her hair.

From now on, she’d be his little sunflower, dutifully generating resources.

Yet for some reason, Ye Yue had tapped into a soft spot in Ye Chuan’s heart—the part reserved for family. Unconsciously, he found himself treating her with extra patience.

Somewhere deep down, he’d already accepted her as his real sister.
