Do not engage in underworld operations in the human world!

A long, long time ago.

The elder sister didn’t know that she would be the Queen Mother of the West, and the younger brother didn’t know that he would be the King Father of the East.

All they know is that they have been living on their own since they can remember.

My sister was better off, as she still had some impression of what her parents looked like, but my brother's parents had disappeared when he was still an infant, vanishing from this world.

Fortunately, they have an older brother, and the three siblings depend on each other. Although their life is poor, they are also full of fun.

As long as the brother is around, all dangers will be kept out of the house, and there is no need to worry about food, as that omnipotent tall figure can take care of everything.

However, one morning, when the sister and brother woke up, they found that their brother had suddenly disappeared.

At first, they just thought that their brother had gone out hunting.

But until the sun was high in the sky and it was already noon, there was still no sign of his brother.

The two children began to panic.

Without their brother around, they didn't know how to make a fire and cook, nor did they know how to deal with the wild beasts on the opposite mountain that always made terrible roars at night.

They searched in their brother's room and finally found a bamboo piece with words engraved on it left by their brother at the foot of the bed.

"This is the farewell letter my brother left behind." After taking a look at the contents, the elder sister was unsure and very frightened: "Why did he leave so suddenly, and hide the letter in such a hidden place? What should we do if we can't find it?"

"It wasn't originally here. It was on the dining table. I threw it here because I was bored." After explaining, the younger brother said in surprise: "So this is a farewell letter?"

My sister was furious and yelled, "How could you mess with something so important?!"

"I can't read."

My brother answered confidently.

The sister had no choice but to stop arguing with him and check the contents of the letter.

But after reading a few lines, the younger brother leaned over to read. Although he could not read, his face was almost pressed against the bamboo slips, as if he could really see some details that his sister could not notice.

There was no other way, so my sister just read it word by word.

"Sister, I have taught you all the characters now, and have hidden various cultivation methods in those bedtime stories that you have memorized by heart. With these, you can go to my room and read and study the bamboo slips that I have sorted for you. Soon you will become as capable as me.

In fact, I have long wanted to follow in my parents' footsteps and go out to see the wider world, but after all, you are still young, and I am always worried about you, so I patiently waited until you were able to take care of yourself before I dared to set off.

I hope you don't blame me for being cruel and leaving without saying goodbye. I always believe that without hardships, you will never be able to become something. Although I can protect you for a long time, but you will always be under my wings. When will you be able to truly grow up?

You are six years old this year, which is the age when I took over the burden of taking care of you from our parents. But I believe you will do better than me. This will not be too difficult for you. Once you get through the initial days, you will definitely grow up quickly.

When you have read and mastered all the scrolls in my room and feel the time is right, you can come to me. Before that, I will do my best to create the most perfect world for you. "

After reading all the content, my sister looked dazed.

The departure of her brother was like a bolt from the blue to her, leaving her at a loss for a moment, not knowing what to do next.

Just when she was confused, her brother tugged at her sleeve.

"Finished reading?"

"I have finished reading it."

"But I don't see many words. How come you can read so many? Are you kidding me?" The younger brother looked back and forth between the bamboo slip and his sister suspiciously.

The elder sister was already upset, and when she heard her brother talking nonsense, she immediately said impatiently: "I was afraid you didn't understand, so I translated it into vernacular for you. Can you please stop making trouble?"

"But." The younger brother suddenly felt very aggrieved.

"But what?"

"But with so much to say, why didn't my brother mention me?" The younger brother couldn't help feeling sad.

The sister was stunned. It turned out that he suspected that I was coaxing him. Was he asking this on purpose because I didn't mention him from beginning to end?

She suddenly blamed herself for her carelessness in not noticing this.

If you were more delicate, shouldn't you think of writing some content about him to make him happier?

This was the first time she learned to think for others, the first time she grew up, and the first time she understood how hard it was for her brother to take care of them so well and make them so carefree.

Looking at her brother crying in sorrow, the sister clenched the bamboo stick in self-blame.

But at this moment, she suddenly found that there were traces behind the bamboo.

"besides!"

She turned the bamboo slip over in surprise, and found a few small words on the back.

The handwriting was very sloppy, as if he had suddenly remembered something and added it hastily.

"I'll leave my younger brother to you."

"Well," the younger brother stopped crying, "Please translate it."

“It has been translated.”

My brother cried even more sadly.

Seeing him like this, my sister didn't know what to do. She seemed very unfamiliar and flustered.

After finally coaxing her crying brother to sleep, the sister sighed tiredly and said to herself:
"But I'm worried that I can't take good care of him, brother. I don't know anything, what if something happens to him?"

However, the elder brother seemed to have foreseen the future, and the elder sister found a few small words on the back of the bamboo slip:

Do your best.

In the following days, the elder sister took over the baton of taking care of her younger brother from her elder brother and began to live the life of both elder sister and mother.

Relying on her own terrifying talent and the various knowledge that her brother passed on to her subtly, she soon surpassed her brother and dominated the entire nearby mountain range.

The younger brother was also very motivated. At the age of six, when his older brother and she were beginning to learn to survive on their own and take care of others, he finally learned to read.

I still can’t write, but this is already a huge improvement, a breakthrough from zero.

Everything seems to be getting better.

But every time when it was late at night and I was alone in my brother's room, flipping through the letters he left behind, the contents of which I had memorized by heart, I couldn't help but imagine what it looked like when my brother carved those bamboo slips word by word on the same night.

Sometimes she would feel admiration because her brother was amazing and knew so much knowledge.

Sometimes she felt distressed because her brother was stronger and took on the responsibility of taking care of them when their parents were away, and he did such a good job.

But more often than not, she felt angry.

At the most sensitive age for girls, she always wondered if her brothers had already regarded them as a burden and that was why they couldn't wait to abandon them or even leave without saying goodbye?

Although she would immediately blame herself for thinking badly of her brother every time she had such doubts, she could not help but doubt again whenever she was about to give up.

Taking care of one person is already tiring and maddening enough, so he has to take care of two. Of course it would be even harder and more likely to want to escape, right?
At this time, she would empty her mind and focus on practicing, practicing for the whole night until all her worries were forgotten, and then greet the trivialities of another day in the most positive and cheerful state.

But worries will not disappear just by avoiding them.

The increasingly heavy burden gradually turned into two problems that troubled her the most.

Wouldn't it be less bad if you taught me these things that always give me a headache and are my least favorite thing to learn?
If I didn't have this brother, would I be able to live a more relaxed life than now? This kind of trouble gradually left a deep mark in her heart.

This made her smile less and less. Even though her younger brother was growing up and becoming more sensible, able to help her share a lot of life pressure, the smile on her face was never as beautiful as before.

Although as time goes by, she may have forgotten the most troubling and annoying things in her childhood, their influence always exists.

On this day, my sister finally broke through the tribulation period.

The younger brother, who had also started practicing the skills left by his brother, was now a completely different person and had learned a lot. He immediately stepped forward to congratulate him.

But my sister was not interested.

She acted very calmly.

"Sister, aren't you happy? The next step is to become an immortal!" The younger brother was envious and excited.

"Is becoming an immortal such a joyful thing?" the elder sister asked.

"Of course, the scrolls my brother left behind said that becoming an immortal is... it's completely different." The half-understanding brother said proudly, "Although there is no part about overcoming tribulations in the scrolls, I believe he has made a name for himself now. We should be able to find him soon and let him teach you what to do next."

“What to do next?”

My sister tilted her head:

"Do I need him to teach me?"

"Uh?"

Watching his sister walk past him with an expressionless face, the younger brother followed her with confusion in his eyes.

That night, my sister successfully survived the disaster.

Looking coldly at the gradually calming disaster cloud, she suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.

She stood up and planned to find her brother and do the same thing, telling him that she was leaving and would wait for him in the outside world.

Vaguely, she could sense what was waiting for her to accomplish in the future:

Become a female emperor who rules the world, find a place you like to live, maybe establish your own sect, and maybe meet a very gentle man who looks good when he smiles. Although I haven't smiled for many years, I remember that I look good when I smile. It would be best if he could inspire me to smile again.
She thought about a lot of things, and she had many aspirations and expectations for her future life, as if she had really done these things.

But there are no older brothers or younger brothers.

But at this moment, just when she was thinking of that person, he suddenly appeared.

"Congratulations, sister. Long time no see."

She was stunned for a moment, and even the immortal girl wiped her eyes, suspecting that she had seen it wrong.

He just stood there, smiling, as warm as in his memory.

She had imagined many reunion scenes, thought about the two of them hugging each other and crying, thought about her throwing herself into each other's arms and telling each other about the grievances she had suffered over the years, thought about scolding each other, and even thought about just having a fight.

But when it really happened, she was very calm.

"Yeah, long time no see." She nodded calmly.

"Don't you miss me?" The brother smiled bitterly.

She thought for a moment and said, "I thought so before, but I don't think so now. As for the future, there probably won't be a place for you."

After that, she walked past her brother and said, "I have to tell my younger brother that I am leaving too, just like you did in the beginning."

The elder brother held her back and shook his head: "There is no younger brother. It has always been just the two of us. That was just a nightmare when you were going through the tribulation. I have always been by your side."

She stiffened.

"No, little brother?" She turned her head mechanically: "Then I have been..."

"It was just a dream." The brother sighed and patted her head soothingly: "Now, it's time to wake up. You still have to become a god and go to the outside world with your brother to find your parents. We agreed, have you forgotten?"

A feeling of confusion came over me.

She felt that she did have this impression.

It seems that as long as I become a god, I can change everything.

Thus, the two different memories gradually overlapped.

The two questions that had been bothering her in her heart were answered at the same time.

Her elder brother has always been with her, but her younger brother... She has never had a younger brother.

Then I should be happy now.

"You want me to become a god?"

"Ah."

"Then become a god."

The brother smiled with relief, took her hand and walked away.

But the strange thing was that she didn't feel that someone was pulling her, but that someone was pushing her.

Looking back, she saw a little boy shivering and looking up at her with tears in his eyes.

"Sister, you don't mention me at all?"

Her scalp suddenly felt numb and she shook off her brother's hand.

"What's wrong?" the brother asked puzzledly.

She stared into her brother's eyes and questioned, "If you have been with me all this time, why did you say long time no see?"

My brother remained silent.

"I did not want to talk to him for a long time, but it was because of him that I had the motivation to move forward!" She roared angrily: "How dare you. How dare you lie to me?!"

The atmosphere fell into an eerie silence.

Finally, after a long silence, the brother smiled helplessly.

"I just don't want to lie to you because we haven't seen each other for a long time."

In the blink of an eye, the world changes.

An enormous bull stretched across the sky.

There is a big mouth at the front end of oregano, outlining an elegant curve.

It is smiling, and it is smiling beautifully.

"Fuck, I've never seen a Zigong that looks like this, it's so cool!" It tumbled wildly: "Ah, this doesn't seem to be Zigong. Where is this?"

"He's here to pick me up." Queen Mother of the West said to Yuanshi Tianzun proudly and with a bright smile, "I knew he would come."

The smiling man I love the most will step on the colorful clouds and transform into a giant oregano to pick me up! (End of this chapter)
