Chapter 241
The next moment!
In sight, blue sky and white clouds, clear wind and ancient charm.
In the secret realm, the islands floating in the sky were as numerous as stars.
Ancient trees growing from the void beneath the sea of clouds wound their way up to the floating island at the very top.
Raiden Ei was first attracted by the beauty in this secret realm and lost her mind for a moment, then subconsciously looked at the high sky.
Perhaps it was the connection between the twin Archon sisters, she could feel that one of the most important people in her life was here.
As the key in her hand emitted a faint light and began to heat up, a floating stone that could only accommodate one person to stand on flew out of the sea of clouds and came to Ei.
She stepped on it, and without giving her time to think, the floating stone flew toward the high sky along the established trajectory, bypassing the places where those mechanisms and traps were everywhere.
Directly to the top of the ancient tree.
In front of her was a small courtyard with ancient charm, surrounded by ancient trees, and many Glaze Lilies and Silk Flowers were still growing around it.
Only the characteristic flowers of Liyue decorated the small courtyard very beautifully.
Raiden Ei scanned the vicinity roughly and focused her gaze on the entrance leading to the small courtyard.
21 When she really arrived here, her thoughts were clear, and all the previous complex thoughts were gone.
The sound of footsteps was so light that it couldn't be heard at all, as if she was worried about disturbing the owner of this place. It took Ei a minute to reach the entrance of the small courtyard.
The gaze mixed with expectation and nervousness reflected the scene in the courtyard from her purple eyes. The next moment, her brain went blank, all attracted by the figure with her back to her.
Beside the crystal coffin, a purple figure wearing wisteria flowers as hair ornaments was kneeling on a cushion extended from the ancient tree. Her straight spine and slender waist made people's hearts sway.
From behind, one could almost see half the arc of her chest, which was enough to show how exaggerated this woman's figure was.
She seemed to be folding a flower crown, with many flowers and branches placed beside her.
The woman seemed to be in a good mood, chanting waka in a low voice.
"The Narukami moves slightly, the clouds pierce and the rain falls, will you stay?"
"The Narukami moves slightly, though it does not fall, I will stay if you stay."
Chanting softly, with clever hands, several flower crowns had already jumped up, and she placed them gently to the side.
"I don't know how Luo Li is progressing over there. If only I could know."
Sighing slightly, Raiden Makoto didn't look like the noble and transcendent first-generation Raiden Shogun at all, but rather like an ordinary wife folding branches, throwing away the excess branches, and leaving only the beautiful flowers.
"Trespassing on this sacred fence, the sin of breaking the ban is deep."
"Only for the sake of love, today I do not spare my body."
In a happy mood, she continued to chant waka.
Until a certain moment, seeming to notice a gaze cast over, she slowly turned her head and met the gaze looking directly from behind.
At first, Raiden Makoto was still a bit puzzled. There were only two or three existences that could enter the secret realm. Who could come so close without her noticing?
Could it be Zhongli?
Just as she was filled with such doubts, when her vision took in the visitor, her beautiful eyes subconsciously widened, revealing an unprecedented look of shock.
"Ei?!"
Unable to restrain her exclamation, Raiden Makoto subconsciously called out her name.
The visitor was actually not Zhongli but Ei. Makoto never expected this at all; it was completely beyond her imagination.
Could it be that Luo Li had already handled Ei in such a short time?
Various thoughts flashed through her mind, and in the end, only incomparable joy remained.
When she didn't see her, she could still endure the longing of being separated from her sister. Five hundred years had passed, and she didn't lack these few days.
But seeing the other party with her own eyes, this emotion that had been brewing for countless years could no longer be suppressed.
"Makoto..."
Seeing that face that was almost identical to her own, Raiden Ei, standing at the entrance of the small courtyard, couldn't help but lose her mind.
Immediately after, she was embraced by Raiden Makoto, who had put everything down and ran over.
"Ei? Ei!"
The slightly taller Raiden Makoto embraced her sister with a superior bosom.
Familiar aura, familiar tone, familiar gentleness.
All of this made Raiden Ei feel as if she had returned to the moment five hundred years ago when nothing had happened.
She immediately hugged her sister back with force, enjoying the rare feeling of being embraced.
"Makoto! Is it really you?! I finally found you. Is this a floating dream?"
Even if she saw it with her own eyes, she had a sense of unreality as if she were in a dream.
The sorrow immersed for five hundred years could finally end here.
The murmuring words made Raiden Makoto feel heartache, gently stroking her sister's hair, her maternal aura bursting out fully.
"No, this is reality. It's me. I'm alive and back. Sorry for leaving you alone for so long."
The longing in her heart and the guilt toward her sister erupted at the same time. Makoto's wide sleeves took her sister into her arms. Two beauties with similar looks embraced, and the terrible charm that erupted was enough to make people's brains congested.
It's a pity that no one could appreciate the beautiful scenery at this moment.
"Makoto, I miss you so much."
At this moment, she was no longer the noble and transcendent person who endured hundreds of years of loneliness in the Tenshukaku. In front of her sister, Ei let go of all her defenses.
Even the fragility that would not be exposed in front of Kitsune Saiguu and Yae Miko could not be hidden in front of the gentle woman in front of her.
The voice with a slight 920 crying tone made Raiden Makoto's gaze increasingly gentle.
"Sorry, it's my fault. I didn't have time to teach you everything before I left without saying goodbye."
Taking all the responsibility on herself, Makoto was said to be a sister, but also like Ei's mother.
As the saying goes, the eldest sister is like a mother.
In front of the green Ei, she always played the role of a competent and perfect sister.
Ei didn't shed tears in the end. After five hundred years of time, she had also grown.
Without anyone's support, she still held Inazuma until now without making any major mistakes.
"No, I know you wanted to protect me."
The previous misunderstanding and resentment had long been thrown into some corner with the sisters meeting again. At this moment, Ei's only thought was to vent all the grievances and the sorrow accumulated over the years in her sister's arms.
Surrounded by a sense of security, the dignified Raiden Shogun seemed to have become that inflexible, martial-arts-filled Ei-warrior girl again.
Ei kept shaking her head, indicating that she had always known her sister's dedication.
The war of the destruction of Khaenri'ah was too dangerous, even gods had the danger of falling.
She and Luo Li went to Khaenri'ah together to protect her, hiding the news. From a rational point of view, it was correct and understandable.
