"Enough! That's enough!" Mu Zhou's voice echoed throughout the entire castle.
The two girls seemed astonished by the loudness of Mu Zhou's voice, their actions in their hands stopped.
"...Did we upset him? We might have gone a bit too far. It's because you're too playful, just like a child," Tian Lu mischievously said.
"You're one to talk, Tian Lu. You were even worse. You need to take responsibility," the older sister casually joked with a smile.
"I want you two to reflect on your actions! You troublesome sisters!" Mu Zhou lamented internally.
"Well, let's put a stop to the jokes for now."
The older sister rose from the bed and straightened her disheveled clothes. "Although there are many questionable things about you, there are more important things that need to be done right now. Tian Lu, let's prepare for the meeting."
Tian Lu nodded, winked at Mu Zhou, and also got up from the bed. "Alright, sister, by the way, let me introduce...”
Tian Lu walked over to her sister, introducing herself first: "I'm the younger sister, TianLo Youlan," then she pointed to the seemingly identical girl standing next to her, "This is my older sister, TianLu Youlan. This is Mu Zhou~”
TianLu smiled and nodded, "Mu Zhou, feel free to familiarize yourself with the castle. You're free to wander around. If you need anything, just ask our maids."
"We'll be back soon~ Don't think about escaping~" This was Tian Lu's voice as she took her sister TianLu with her and went outside.
Mu Zhou silently sat on the bed, on one hand relieved to be freed, on the other hand closely observing their backs – these sisters held a great deal of power.
Of course, that didn’t pose a threat to Mu Zhou himself. But compared to other people from different worlds, this power was extremely mighty.
That must be why the sisters seemed fearless.
Because to have power is to be able to act recklessly without regards. Although Mu Zhou couldn’t completely deny this viewpoint.
But what concerned Mu Zhou more was the peculiar aura that was lingering between them. This aura created a connected pathway between them, causing their powers to intertwine. Sometimes, one would even think they were the same person just by their aura.
The peculiar feeling made the pieces in Mu Zhou's mind form a complete puzzle, and he couldn't help but mutter.
"Twin lotus, Two blooms on one stem."
This simple sentence seemed to trigger a mechanism. The atmosphere in the room suddenly became tense. The sisters hesitated as they were just about to step out of the room. They turned around abruptly and stared back at Mu Zhou.
In their eyes, the playfulness vanished, the carelessness was gone, and the innocent girliness was hidden deep. The only thing remaining was an absolute awe coupled with an icy killing intent.
"Where did you...hear this from?" TianLu asked in astonishment.
Tian Lu took a step forward, and the tension in the room pressed towards him.
"Though your stunning looks made it obvious that you're not simple. But it seems like there's an even greater secret about you."
Mu Zhou was also helpless. How he managed to let it slip, how he knew about it in the first place, were things he couldn't explain to them. He could only sit on the bed in silence, feigning a shocked expression.
"Let it be... Tian Lu, let's go for the meeting. We can delve into his secrets when we're back,” TianLu said, after giving Mu Zhou a deep, lingering look.
"...Okay." Tian Lu nodded, slowly retracting her formidable aura, and following her sister out of the room, closing the door behind.
After a lengthy silence, Mu Zhou leaned on the window, looking at a coach moving away from the mansion, and a group of luxurious maids following it. His countenance was somewhat melancholic."Twin lotus, bringing up flowers, huh? That's a bit of a sad story. Although it's not an unsolvable problem for me," I stroked the collar around my neck, pointing a finger to slide it from top to bottom. With a crisp sound, the collar fell to the ground.
Gathering my emotions, I turned around and walked towards the door, sensing the entire castle, "Perhaps I should focus on the task at hand. I remember Tianlue mentioning that she was in the study before she left... so the location should be..."
"Found it! This is truly a great help."
As I passed by a large wardrobe, my body suddenly froze. Within the wardrobe full of various clothes, there was a bright mirror. For the first time, I clearly saw my current appearance...
Unique blackish-purple long hair flowed softy down my back, reaching my thighs. The extremely delicate features paired with the perfect contours of my face left no room for flaws, especially those bright obsidian eyes. A mere glance could make one's heart flutter.
A small and exquisitely proportioned body, the skin was white as if a moonlight glow was contained within it.
Even with the strong spirit of Mu Zhou, I couldn't keep calm. Extending my hand, I tremulously pointed at the stunningly beautiful girl in the mirror who was mimicking my movements.
"Is that me?"
To be frank, for a moment, Mu Zhou almost felt as if he had fallen in love. Holding his forehead, he recalled the previous evaluations of others.
"A perfect masterpiece!"
"Absolutely stunning!"
"Beauty beyond the reach of humans!"
Condensing countless words into one sentence, 'Well played, Energy of Everything!'
I don't lack the skills to change my form, but those skills have no effect on me!
If a normal body is like soft clay, shape-shifting skills are like a pair of dexterous hands used for molding. The problem is... Mu Zhou's body is a piece of hard metal. Come on, try to mold me something with that!
This has already surpassed the limit of those skills...
Forcibly diverting my gaze from the mirror, I quickly left the place...
