Infinite Awakening: My Exp Doubles Everyday novel Chapter 311

Chapter 311: End Of The World [PART 1]

[A voice?] the Empress asked.

"Yeah, I keep hearing it," Li Yao replied, glancing around.

"Well, it’s probably not that important," she said dismissively, her expression quickly shifting to one of eager anticipation.

"Let’s go! I want to see Senior Brother!"

Without another word, she leaped into the air and flew swiftly toward the spirit vein cave.

Meanwhile, Xiang Yu had been cultivating leisurely in the spirit spring after enjoying lunch with his master and martial aunt when he felt Li Yao’s presence entering the sect formation.

"She’s back," he thought to himself.

Before he could even consider going out to greet her, he sensed that she was already at the entrance to his cave.

He quickly controlled the cave’s formation, allowing her passage.

Li Yao burst into the cave, her face glowing with joy.

"Senior Brother, I’m back!" she announced loudly.

"Welcome back," Xiang Yu replied warmly.

Li Yao suddenly paused mid-step, her eyes widening as she took in his appearance. "Senior Brother, you look different," she said with fascination, walking closer to examine him more carefully.

It was then that Xiang Yu realized he was still in his monster form.

Just as he was about to revert back to his normal human form, Li Yao suddenly launched herself at him with enthusiasm.

"Wow, it’s so cute, and fluffy, and soft! I want to tie it up!" she exclaimed, wrapping her arms around him.

(—__—)

Xiang Yu quickly reverted to his normal appearance.

"What do you mean ’tie up’? Who says that when they see something cute?" he thought to himself, though he didn’t bother voicing it aloud. After all, his junior sister had always been this sort of person.

When he transformed back, Li Yao’s face visibly fell with disappointment. However, she quickly adapted to the situation and jumped up to sit comfortably on his lap.

"I also like this Senior Brother. I want to..." she began, but then noticed the way Xiang Yu was looking at her with raised eyebrows. She paused, seeming to reconsider her words carefully.

"Umm, well, be with Senior Brother forever," she said instead, her cheeks turning slightly pink.

"Right..."

He thought to himself that she was definitely going to say "tie up" right there.

"Right!" Li Yao nodded her head enthusiastically.

Xiang Yu could only sigh. "How did it go?" he asked, changing the subject.

Li Yao’s face immediately lit up with excitement as she proceeded to enthusiastically narrate everything that had happened since they had parted ways.

The Empress occasionally interjected whenever Li Yao tried to embellish certain details to make herself appear more impressive or heroic than she actually had been.

After Li Yao promised the Empress some undisclosed reward, the empress went silent and allowed Li Yao to tell the story in her own way.

"Senior Brother, I did good right?" she asked with bright, expectant eyes, waiting for his approval.

Xiang Yu remained completely silent for a long moment, his expression unreadable.

"Senior Brother?" she asked again, wondering what was causing his unusual reaction. Was he so impressed by her heroic deeds that he couldn’t even find words to express his admiration? A mischievous smile played at the corners of her mouth as she imagined using this moment to ask for some special reward.

Xiang Yu slowly shook his head, his expression growing more serious. "You really destroyed the demon lotus?" he asked.

"Yes! All gone! No more! Trust me!" she said proudly, puffing out her chest.

But instead of the praise she expected, Xiang Yu’s expression became deeply saddened. Even his shoulders sagged slightly.

"Senior Brother? Did I do something wrong?" she asked, her confidence beginning to waver as she noticed his unusual reaction.

"My money-making opportunity, it’s all gone!" he said with genuine despair in his voice. "I thought I could make enough money to enjoy life until I retired." He let out a huge sigh "It seems I was dreaming too much."

He then gazed wistfully at the ceiling of the cave as if it were the vast sky above, his expression filled with nostalgic longing. "Looks like the world is against me fr."
