Chapter 3849: A Lie

Xiao Fan had no interest in dealing with the star chart; he looked at Xiahou Yan and shook his head helplessly.

"Sigh… Then I'll tell you the truth. Actually, I am your… younger brother."

"Younger brother?!" Hearing this, Xiahou Yan was startled and looked at Xiao Fan in disbelief.

Under Xiahou Yan's gaze, Xiao Fan remained expressionless, but after a long while, he revealed a weak smile.

Honestly speaking, this feeling was actually quite awkward.

Xiao Fan had originally thought that this excuse wouldn't be able to fool Xiahou Yan, but as it turned out…

"You are really my younger brother?!"

"That's right, I am your younger brother…" Xiao Fan nodded.

"Younger brother, it really is you, younger brother!" Xiahou Yan exclaimed, her expression filled with excitement and affection.

From her expression, Xiao Fan could clearly see that Xiahou Yan was not acting; she truly regarded him as her younger brother.

"Uh? It's me." Xiao Fan nodded blankly.

Good grief.

Did his excuse actually become true?!

Did she actually believe it?!

"Younger brother…"

Xiahou Yan excitedly threw herself onto Xiao Fan and immediately started weeping.

Xiao Fan was completely dumbfounded; he could even feel Xiahou Yan's tears.

She was in a Divine Soul state, yet she could actually shed real tears?!

This point left Xiao Fan incredibly shocked…

"Younger brother, I knew it was you. You're too naughty; you even wanted to be my older brother just a moment ago…"

Xiao Fan: "…"

Hearing Xiahou Yan's words, Xiao Fan's head spun even more.

Good grief.

It seemed Xiahou Yan really did have a younger brother, which was why it touched the memories deep within her Divine Soul, resulting in Xiahou Yan's current state.

"Kid, you've gained an older sister…" The star chart's voice appeared in Xiao Fan's ear.

Xiao Fan had no time to deal with the star chart. His mind was full of question marks; he had only told a lie, but the result was…

"Younger brother, where is this place? How many years have passed? I… what is my current situation? I remember I had clearly died." Xiahou Yan asked many questions in one breath.

Clearly, she really regarded Xiao Fan as her younger brother.

"This… this is the Upper Realm of the Divine Domain, you know it, right?" Xiao Fan thought for a moment and spoke slowly.

Xiahou Yan nodded and said foolishly, "I know."

"As for how many years have passed… I can only tell you it's been many years. As for exactly how many, I can't remember either."

Xiahou Yan nodded again without any suspicion.

"As for your current state… it's obvious, you have been resurrected." Xiao Fan exhaled and spoke slowly.

From the few words exchanged with Xiahou Yan just now, Xiao Fan discovered something shocking.

It seemed Xiahou Yan had already died before, and she had now been resurrected?

That was why her Divine Soul was incompatible with her Physical Body; even though they looked the same and had the same Origin aura, they were like two separate, split entities.

As for why Xiahou Yan's memory was like this?

Xiao Fan felt it might be due to an early resurrection, which caused confusion in Xiahou Yan's memory. Not knowing how many years had passed outside had caused her memory to become disordered; such a thing was very possible.

"Is that so…" Xiahou Yan nodded blankly, not doubting Xiao Fan's words at all.

"That's right, that's exactly how it is." Xiao Fan nodded solemnly.

He didn't say anything more.

Regarding Xiahou Yan, Xiao Fan felt no malice; likewise, he was surprised to find her very affectionate.

It was as if she really were his own older sister.

"Alright… By the way, younger brother, how did I die back then?" Xiahou Yan asked curiously.

Xiao Fan: "…"

"Older sister, you don't remember how you died?" Xiao Fan was stunned.

"I don't remember." Xiahou Yan shook her head.

"This… you were severely injured by a mysterious powerhouse and then died." Xiao Fan hesitated for a moment before continuing to fabricate a lie.

Hearing this, Xiahou Yan was stunned for a long while before nodding blankly: "So that's how it was."

Xiao Fan: "…"

"Younger brother, then where are we going next?!"
