Elf Country, Treehouse.
When Shane returned here with Milu, before he even entered, Carol, who had been somewhat agitated all the way, silently bid farewell.
Undoubtedly, the Vice Division Commander who had guessed Lide’s identity was very worried about the situation at the Elf Queen’s side, so she couldn’t help but leave to check on it.
Shane didn’t pay attention to her, just took Milu into the treehouse and saw everyone gathered in the living room waiting for him.
"You’re finally back, huh?"
Luoqi sat there, watching Shane enter the door and, for some reason, let out a sigh.
"Welcome back, Mr. Shane."
Lasha seemed very aloof, which made Shane involuntarily recall the incident of not returning home the night before, and his expression became somewhat sheepish.
Lilith, without a word, immediately threw herself into Shane’s arms and held him tightly, her face a mix of relief and grievance.
"Sorry, sorry, I made you worry."
Shane was moved and quickly stroked her head to comfort her.
Everyone had been waiting for Shane’s return, and it was not until this moment that they finally felt at ease.
Only Ai Yi had no spare energy to pay attention to Shane.
At that moment, Milu’s eyes lit up when she saw Ai Yi, she let out the biggest cheer ever, and just like Lilith, threw herself towards Ai Yi.
It seemed that Ai Yi had guessed Milu’s arrival, sighed while trying to escape, but couldn’t avoid Milu’s leap at all.
Milu then hugged Ai Yi tightly, rubbing her face against Ai Yi’s while happily exclaiming.
The entire treehouse was suddenly filled with Milu’s joyful laughter.
That laughter was enough to make anyone want to smile in understanding.
However, seeing such an unfamiliar little girl suddenly hug Ai Yi and the latter showing a reluctant face, everyone still couldn’t help but be startled.
"This couldn’t be...!?"
Luoqi’s eyes widened in shock.
Lasha was also watching Milu, silent, her eyes lowered slightly.
Lilith cocked her head, looking puzzled.
Particularly seeing Ai Yi’s unwilling face, yet utterly unable to resist being hugged and rubbed by Milu, the surprise in everyone’s hearts was imaginable.
If there were anyone else here, seeing this scene would surely have shocked them as well.
One of the Six Great Demons, the Dragon Demon, known to be the most ferocious being, was being forcefully hugged by a little girl. She clearly showed resistance, yet she could not resist. This scene would definitely leave anyone dumbfounded for a long time.
And, seeing this, Shane finally dared to confirm...
"Indeed, Milu is a Demon."
In other words, this seemingly naive, romantic, and innocent little girl was actually the sister of Ai Yi, Sera, and Lide.
Luoqi murmur in astonishment.
"Ghost Demon Princess Milupesh..."
This was Milu’s real name.
Milu was just a nickname.
So was Lide, who had always introduced herself by her nickname, her real name not yet revealed.
"Ai Yi! Ai Yi! Ai Yi!"
Milu clung to Ai Yi tightly, calling out repeatedly with a voice full of happiness and joy like she was holding the most beloved toy.
On the other hand, Ai Yi only felt reluctance and displeasure at Milu’s behavior.
"Alright, stop calling out." Ai Yi said annoyedly, "Every time you see your sister you get this excited, how lonely can you be?"
"Yeah, yeah!" Milu nodded repeatedly, pitifully saying: "Milu is very lonely, Ai Yi is always absent."
The little girl looked utterly wronged.
Unfortunately, Ai Yi, with a heart of stone, wasn’t swayed at all.
"Cut it out." Ai Yi saw through Milu, saying, "You’re with Lide every day, how could you possibly be lonely?"
No one knew, but Ai Yi was all too clear.
That is to say, Lide was always by Milu’s side, she never acted alone.
The reason is none other than the Ghost Demon’s mentality being rather immature, like a child who only knows how to throw tantrums, rarely possessing her own judgement and principles.
If someone were to dangle a lollipop in front of her, this Ghost Demon would definitely follow excitedly, easily deceived, and commit some terrible blunder.
Therefore, no one trusted Milu to act alone.
Conveniently, Lide, when acting alone, would become quite fearsome once she entered a combat state.
Thus, these sisterly pair, one beast, and one person, had been together for over ten thousand years, always entering and exiting as a duo, one usually restraining her power, taking on a weaker stance under Milu’s protection to move around conveniently, while the other acting according to Lide’s instructions, so as not to deviate from normality and commit any dreadful acts.
Under such circumstances, Lide was always by Milu’s side, so she could never possibly feel lonely.
"It’s not the same." Milu said seriously, "Lide is a sister, Ai Yi is a younger sister."
"What’s the difference?" Ai Yi retorted, "In the end, both keeping you company, sister or younger sister, isn’t it all the same?"
"Wu..." Milu’s cheeks bulged in protest, "It’s different, it’s different."
"Ah..." Ai Yi said with a headache, "Always so contrary, who exactly is the sister, and who is the younger sister here?"
