Chapter 465 A pair of brothers and sisters

If it was a formation, she might still be able to find a way, but for an illusion that had not been recorded many times in the Tianyuan Continent, she was really powerless.

Yue Hanchuan frowned, his eyes penetrating the mist, trying to seize the opportunity to break through the illusion.

The surrounding scenery flickered, as if changing unpredictably with the fluctuations of their thoughts.

Luo Li pursed her lips, moved her fingertips slightly, and a wisp of spiritual power quietly stretched out, but was heavily bounced away by an invisible force the moment it touched the void.

Suddenly, a distant and ancient bell sounded from the depths of the City Lord's Mansion, echoing throughout the entire illusion, and even the air was filled with a faint sadness and solemnity.

As the bell rang, the illusions around him began to flow slowly, as if scrolls of paintings were unfolding and closing before his eyes.

Luo Li and Yue Hanchuan looked at each other, confusion and vigilance in their eyes. They knew that this unexpected journey had just begun.

The next second, everything went dark before their eyes. When they opened their eyes again, they saw an incredible scene.

The surrounding streets are bustling with people laughing and walking together.

The sunlight shines through the gauze-like clouds and onto the jade-slab road, giving this bustling street a warm golden glow.

There are shops on both sides of the street with a variety of signs. Some are hung with exquisite lanterns that sway gently in the wind, reflecting colorful light and shadows; others are hung with various handicrafts, colorful and attracting people to stop.

The hawkers' cries rose one after another, mixed with the sounds of children playing and women chatting and laughing.

On ordinary days, this would indeed be a relaxing scene that would make people smile knowingly, but...

They were clearly in the old and dilapidated city lord's mansion with a gloomy wind just a second ago!

Yue Hanchuan looked around in amazement, "Have we been dragged into another illusion?"

Luo Li nodded, "Be careful."

Yue Hanchuan nodded, "This should be the central street we just passed. Going further ahead is the City Lord's Mansion."

Luo Li put away the Broken Wind and narrowed her eyes. "Let's go and take a look at the City Lord's Mansion first."

Yue Hanchuan nodded, "Okay."

The two walked side by side in the crowd, their tight-fitting clothes swaying gently in the wind, attracting the attention of people around them.

Yue Hanchuan maintained his usual calmness, scanning the surroundings with sharp eyes, trying to catch the flaws of the illusion from this sudden prosperity.

Luo Li suddenly smiled softly, walked a few steps towards a beautiful woman with a child on the street, and said in a sweet voice, "Sister?"

The beautiful woman paused, looked around, and asked in surprise, "Are you calling me?"

Luo Li's eyes sparkled with warmth. She nodded gently, with a harmless and innocent smile on her lips, as if she was reuniting with an old friend.

"Yes, sister, I see that you are beautiful and very gentle. Since I have been traveling for many years, I don't know the customs here very well, so I thought of asking you. I wonder if you are available?"

Her voice was soft, with a subtle charm that made the beautiful woman relax her guard involuntarily, and a blush appeared on her face. "It's been a long time since anyone called me sister."

She coughed lightly, "Of course it's convenient."

The beautiful woman pulled Luo Li to the side of the street and glanced at Yue Hanchuan who was following her. "Who is this?"

Luo Li glanced at him and introduced him with a smile, "This is my brother. We've been training outside for a while. We passed through Blizzard City today, so we thought we'd come in and rest for a few days."

The beautiful woman was surprised. Although the two children were very beautiful, their personalities did not seem like those of siblings.

One is pure and elegant, like a clear spring in the mountains; the other is handsome and extraordinary, like a pine tree under the moon. They have completely different temperaments and looks. No one would have thought that they were a pair of siblings.

Moreover, the situation in the mainland is so tense now, why are they still gaining experience abroad?

But she didn't have the habit of criticizing others. She just smiled and said, "He is really a handsome man."

Luo Li smiled, looked at Yue Hanchuan and said, "Sister is praising you, why don't you thank her quickly?"

Yue Hanchuan felt a little awkward, but still cupped his hands, "Thank you for the compliment."

The beautiful woman covered her mouth and giggled, "Okay, what did you want to ask me?"

Luo Li actually had some guesses, so she said, "We've been training outside for a few years. We left in 1270. I wonder if it's 1276 in the Myriad Beasts Calendar now?"

Yue Hanchuan turned to look at Luo Li, a hint of confusion in his eyes, but he still followed Luo Li's words and said, "Yes, we didn't pay attention to the affairs of the mainland during our training, so we really don't know how much time has passed outside."

"I see." A flash of understanding flashed across the beautiful woman's eyes. She smiled and nodded. "Indeed, it is now the year 1276 in the new calendar, and this is Blizzard City, in the western part of the Shocking Dragon Territory."

The beautiful woman looked at Luo Li's slightly dirty skirt and asked, "Did you just go through a battle?"

Luo Li looked down following her gaze and awkwardly threw a cleaning spell at the edge of her skirt, "Yes, I forgot to clean it up."

In fact, it was the moss that I had just rubbed against at the City Lord's Mansion, but of course I couldn't tell the truth.

A trace of pity flashed across the beautiful woman's eyes. "You look so young, how old are you now?"

Luo Li raised her lips and nodded obediently, "I'm almost sixteen."

A hint of surprise flashed across the beautiful woman's eyes. "Sixteen? So young?"

Luo Li nodded, pretending to be about to cry, and tugged at Yue Hanchuan's sleeve, "My two siblings have been without parents since childhood, relying on each other for survival. That's why we've been wandering around the continent, without a fixed place to live."

Yue Hanchuan moved his nose, pulled his sleeve back stiffly, but didn't move.

Receiving Luo Li's warning look, he behaved himself.

His junior sister A'li's ability to make up lies without blinking an eye has become more and more advanced.

In the sunlight, Luo Li's eyes sparkled, as if containing countless stars that had not yet set. She bit her lower lip lightly, and her pitiful look made people feel pity and love for her.

The beautiful woman reached out her hand, wanting to touch the top of Luo Li's head, but stopped midway, as if afraid of disturbing this fragile beauty. Instead, she gently placed her hand on her shoulder and whispered softly, "Child, you've suffered so much. This world is difficult, but it's rare for you siblings to be so dependent on each other."

Luo Li took the opportunity to move closer to Yue Hanchuan, with a cunning look in her eyes. Yue Hanchuan sighed helplessly upon seeing this. Although he felt that the lie was a bit too much, he had no choice but to cooperate.

He coughed lightly, pretending to be serious but looking at Luo Li with an expression of doting. His eyes showed both love for his sister and a helpless recognition of his own "forced" role.

He sighed and continued to make up stories based on Luo Li's words, "Fortunately, I'm a few years older, so my life isn't too hard."

The two of them easily gave themselves a sad yet resilient background story.
