Meanwhile, on the other side.
On a secluded path, Sister Acheron walked alone. She held a fresh honey peach in her hand, taking a small bite every now and then. Sister Acheron slightly closed her eyes, savoring the hint of sweetness on her taste buds.
She silently felt the joy and sweetness of life gathered within the peach, yet it was equally fragile and fleeting... this kind of regret was unavoidable... Sister Acheron slowly opened her eyes, her gaze sweeping over the unfamiliar surroundings.
Sister Acheron (,,•́. •̀,,): "Where is this?"
True to form, Sister Acheron had unknowingly gotten lost again. It all started after Sister Acheron had accompanied Mo Xi to drop her younger sister off at school. With nothing to do, Sister Acheron had habitually thought about wandering around. Hearing this, the worried Mo Xi immediately decided to go with Sister Acheron. After all, she knew her Sister Acheron all too well.
However, while the idea was beautiful, reality was quite harsh. Mo Xi and Sister Acheron were walking side by side normally, but in the middle of it all, due to a momentary lapse in attention, Sister Acheron had already vanished without a trace. This made Mo Xi extremely anxious for a moment.
However, she quickly remembered that she had added Sister Acheron as a friend when she saw her take out her phone earlier. So, Mo Xi immediately sent a message to Sister Acheron. Realizing it late, Sister Acheron also noticed that Mo Xi seemed to have accidentally gotten lost. Not wanting to trouble her little sister, Sister Acheron told her to go home alone first. She also informed her that she was just taking a simple stroll and would return on her own later.
Mo Xi certainly wouldn't agree to such a statement. But then she heard the other party send a message saying she had navigation and told her not to worry. Hearing this, Mo Xi couldn't help but hesitate a bit.
First, a wave of rational analysis: With Sister Acheron's abilities, there was no need to worry about her encountering bad people. Secondly, although Sister Acheron was directionally challenged, now that she had 'Wicked Navigation', the problem shouldn't be too big, right? Besides, she couldn't stay by Sister Acheron's side forever.
After a bit of internal struggle, Mo Xi chose to trust the navigation for once. So she agreed to Sister Acheron's request and went home first to cultivate alone...
Time returned to the present.
Sister Acheron looked at the fork in the road ahead with some confusion. Then she looked down at the navigation on her phone again. However, just as Sister Acheron was busy distinguishing which was the correct path...
Sister Acheron's movements suddenly froze. She slowly raised her eyes and looked towards the distant horizon. The originally cloudless clear sky was now quietly showing patches of dark clouds, spreading out like black silk. The clouds billowed, carrying an oppressive and heavy aura, as if foretelling an impending storm.
"A storm is coming." Sister Acheron murmured.
Immediately after, she ignored the commotion over there. Just then, a noisy sound abruptly came over.
"Hello, Senior, can I add you on WeChat?"
A tall, clean-looking man suddenly approached. Sister Acheron glanced sideways at him but did not answer. At the same time, her peripheral vision also noticed a group of onlookers hiding not far away. Clearly, if this man striking up a conversation hadn't been pushed forward by his bad friends, he wanted to show off in front of everyone.
The man was completely unaware that they had already been fully observed by Sister Acheron. Seeing that Sister Acheron didn't respond, he could only cough awkwardly twice, trying to catch her attention again.
"Ahem... Senior, I sincerely want to get to know you and make a friend. Could you leave some contact information?"
He nonchalantly brushed the stray hairs on his forehead, striking a pose he thought was extremely charming, trying to continue the conversation. This time, Sister Acheron finally seemed to notice his existence. She slowly turned around, her calm gaze falling on the man.
Just as the man was secretly proud, thinking his charm had finally moved this cold and elegant woman... Sister Acheron just gave him a faint glance and said in a peaceful yet slightly distant tone, "Sorry, I have no intention of making your acquaintance."
The man froze for a moment. Just as he was about to speak, he saw Sister Acheron lift her foot and leave without looking back. The click-clack sound of high heels gradually faded away. The man's expression also gradually froze. He stood in place for a long time without moving.
Seeing this, the others who were hiding immediately stepped forward curiously to ask about the results. But seeing the man's look of questioning his own existence, everyone understood the result without saying a word.
But there was one thing they didn't know: The moment the man's gaze met Sister Acheron's, he felt as if his heartbeat had suddenly stopped. But when he came to his senses, Sister Acheron had already turned away, her figure drifting further away like mist, leaving only him standing alone in place, every breath filled with a lingering chill.
"Hey, hey, what do you say? Are we still going? It feels like this Senior is even more cold and detached than those ice-mountain CEOs?"
"Nonsense! Of course we're going. Trying won't hurt."
"Makes sense! Who's next?"
The man who first struck up the conversation was now listening to his brothers' words with a pale face, unable to say anything for a moment. He was temporarily powerless to stop them. Just as they reached a consensus and their eyes focused on the purple-haired beauty at the same time—
They were startled to find that the purple-haired beauty's figure had disappeared without a trace at some unknown point. Clearly, just a moment ago, she was such a vivid presence, but in an instant, she was as untraceable as a phantom in the void. This sudden turn of events caused everyone's minds to instantly fall into a blank state of confusion.
As for Sister Acheron: She had left the area and instantly changed into her classic purple outfit. She walked quickly in one direction, only because she vaguely felt a familiar aura. But before that, she first took out her phone and sent a message.
Sister Acheron: Do me a favor.
...Silver Wolf: Hurry up and say what it is, I'm waiting for my nap.
Sister Acheron: Destroy the information about when Mo Xi and I went to the Residential Complex earlier. While you're at it, 'rationalize' any clues that might point back to us.
Silver Wolf: Got it. For such a small matter, ten minutes is enough.
Sister Acheron: Thanks.
Although she couldn't be completely sure, the only recent connection was that 'Celestial Phenomenon'. When she went there earlier, she had already noticed something. She was definitely not the only one scouting the area. Even though her and Mo Xi's behavior was impeccable and they weren't discovered by anyone, some people simply wouldn't care about logic or rationality.
To prevent Mo Xi from falling into danger, the only way was to have Silver Wolf completely erase them to ensure nothing went wrong. Having done all this, Sister Acheron continued to walk quickly towards her target.
