He’s My Little Brother

The cold moonlight shone down on the ground.

The entire White City had fallen into silence.

Most of the citizens were hiding in their homes, praying for the disaster to pass quickly.

Fortunately, no cultists had caused trouble in the urban area.

All the cultists had gathered in Xilin Garden and were wiped out in one fell swoop.

Therefore, there were no civilian deaths in the city.

Except for Wang Xiang’s villa, the residents of the other villas were all under investigation.

Hundreds, even thousands of people were separated one by one by the soldiers of the Inspection Bureau, awaiting a long interrogation.

The bodies of the heroic soldiers were wrapped in black body bags, one by one.

The soldiers carrying them were expressionless.

From the moment the Dark Ones descended on Blue Star, the soldiers had long become numb to death.

But the death of a dear friend still touched their hearts.

They still yearned for a better world, still hoped that one day, they could completely expel the Dark Ones from Blue Star.

Too many sacrifices had already made it impossible for them to spare too much energy for grief, because in this world where sacrifice had become the norm, what they always had to face was the next battle.

For the soldiers of the Inspection Bureau, the casualty rate was actually much lower than on the front lines, but the battle still had to go on.

A solemn atmosphere hung in the sky.

The Su brothers walked one after the other through the orderly temporary command post.

The passing soldiers all saluted Su Chen, paying their respects to this young major general.

Because of his presence, the dozen or so Dark Ones that had been released were unable to threaten the lives of the soldiers.

Even if only one Moon-tier Dark One had escaped, it would not have been something they could have dealt with.

At this time, Su Xuan had already recovered from his disordered mental state.

Thinking back on his earlier interaction with his brother, his face turned bright red.

But in such a serious setting, he suppressed his inner sense of shame.

To divert his attention, Su Xuan focused on the Life Source Energy he had absorbed.

During the battle, the two Black Energy Stones he had placed on his chest had already dissolved into his body.

In other words, in this one operation, he had obtained four Black Energy Stones.

However, he had used up the equivalent of nearly two during the battle.

Adding the little bit he had accumulated in his body before, he had a total of two and a half stones’ worth.

First, he had to use a little to wake Su Xuan’er.

Then, he had to store some in the Energy Pool for emergencies.

In the end, there was only about one stone’s worth that could be used for the Crimson Saber.

But it was important to remember that during the previous battle, in the process of utilizing the Life Source Energy, he had also absorbed a large amount of Soul Substance.

So, in a sense, he hadn’t profited from this trip.

And when Su Xuan’er woke up, she would secrete a large amount of Soul Substance again.

Thinking of this, Su Xuan felt a little distressed.

Not only had he not won back any ground, but he was falling into the trap even faster.

He didn’t know if he could hold out until the day he went to the battlefield.

The greedy and insatiable Su Xuan wished for more Black Energy Stones, so that he wouldn’t have to become more feminine.

Shi Yidie and her two companions saw Su Chen and Su Xuan from a distance.

Shi Yidie even trotted over, her face bright with a smile, and said happily, “Captain~”

That sweet, cooing “Captain” gave Su Xuan goosebumps.

He looked up and saw a girl with pink hair, dressed in a black and white combat uniform.

As she trotted, the mountain on her chest trembled, jiggling up and down, making it impossible for Su Xuan, a virgin in two lifetimes, to look away.

He suddenly looked down at his own chest.

He felt a little discouraged.

How could his be so small…

Su Xuan was suddenly startled by his own thought.

He shook his head and muttered in his heart, ‘Su Xuan, you’re a boy. Liking this kind of thing doesn’t mean you have to grow a pair of those troublesome things.’

Su Xuan’s actions were caught by Shi Yidie.

Shi Yidie looked at Su Xuan’s exquisite face, and a trace of nervousness rose in her heart.

But then she saw Su Xuan’s eyes staring straight at her chest, and then looked down at her own personal airfield.

Shi Yidie’s confidence was instantly restored, and she straightened her back even more.

She panted lightly and cutely, as if the few dozen meters were a long distance for her and she was tired from running.

“Captain… who is this little sister?”

As soon as Shi Yidie arrived, she smiled, revealing a sweet and friendly face as she looked at Su Xuan.

Su Chen opened his mouth, seeming to find it a bit difficult to speak.

After all, it was really embarrassing to say that this person, who was even prettier than her, was actually a boy, and his own little brother at that.

Would that be too much of a blow to her?

But Su Chen still introduced him a bit awkwardly, “This… is actually a boy. My little brother, Su Xuan.”

As soon as the words were out, Shi Yidie was a little surprised.

Her cute little mouth opened wide, round enough to fit a small egg.

Her heart was filled with disbelief, and at the same time, some relief, but also a little jealousy.

‘Such a beautiful person… is actually a boy? And he’s the handsome and cool Captain Su Chen’s little brother.’

‘Thank goodness this guy is a boy, otherwise he would have been a strong competitor in my pursuit of the Captain.’

‘Why is a boy better looking than me…’

Shi Yidie could have a whole mini-drama playing in her mind.

Su Xuan felt extremely uncomfortable being sized up by those big, curious eyes, as if he were some rare treasure that she wished she could strip naked to see what he was made of.

Shi Yidie trotted over to Su Xuan’s side in a friendly manner, looked at his face with curiosity, and asked, “You’re little brother Su Xuan?”

Shi Yidie had known before that this case involved Captain Su Chen’s younger brother, so she knew his name.

Su Xuan was a little startled by this sudden close-up inspection, and then replied, “Yes.”

Shi Yidie reached out with both hands, kneaded Su Xuan’s cheek, and said, “Little brother’s skin is so good, so fair and tender. What kind of skincare products do you usually use?”

Su Xuan’s mouth twitched.

He could feel the force on his face growing stronger and stronger, and he complained in his heart, ‘I’ve never used any skincare products! Can you stop kneading? Haven’t you ever seen someone prettier than you?’

But he still maintained a humble and gentlemanly tone and said, “Miss, I have never used any skincare products. This is all natural. Also, can you please stop kneading?”

“Ah… sorry, sorry! I just can’t help myself when I see such a cute and beautiful boy… hehe.”

Shi Yidie stuck out her tongue and released her sinful hands.

Then she added, “Your skin is this good without using any skincare products, I’m really jealous. Unlike me, I spend all my money on that stuff, and this is all I get.”

Su Xuan gave a bitter smile, “That’s because you’re always running around on the front lines, often staying up all night and all. Otherwise, your skin would definitely be even better.”

The two started chatting as soon as they met, making Su Chen’s mouth twitch.

He really didn’t understand girls… wait, Su Xuan was a boy.

Su Chen looked at the two of them, who were chatting so much that he couldn’t get a word in, looking for all the world like a pair of sisters.

He helplessly interrupted, “Alright, cut it out. There are still some things that need your cooperation later.”

Only then did the two of them stop their conversation.

A huge tent appeared before them.

Clearly, there were some matters to be resolved.
