WTD Chapter 37

Sherya perked up her ears, only to hear the system sister announce the mission with a surprised tone.

System: …Purple level mission — [Farewell Kiss]!

Sherya: Purple level? Also, what’s the specific description of the mission! I need to know what I’m supposed to do!

System: The so-called purple level refers to the grade of the mission.

System: Generally speaking, the rewards for missions range from generous to meager, divided into five levels: orange, purple, blue, green, and white.

System: They refresh randomly and are related to the host’s current situation and choices, and not controlled by me.

System: It’s fortunate that the host randomly obtained a rare purple level mission right off the bat. Congratulations!

System: Next, let me briefly describe the rules for completing the mission [Farewell Kiss] and the generous rewards for the host.

System: The mission [Farewell Kiss] requires the host to make the target, Ji Lian, shed tears through a kiss during a farewell.

System: Mission Rewards — 100 gold coins, Tears-inducing Potion Design Blueprint x1, Kiss Skill Proficiency +1!

The first two Sherya could understand, or rather, she was absolutely thrilled!

A whole 100 gold coins!? Does that mean she’s only ninety-nine purple-level missions away from reaching the ten thousand gold coins needed to exchange for the “Song of the Elves” potion?

It might seem like a distant goal.

But don’t forget, the system could still release orange-level missions with even more generous rewards!

Suddenly, Sherya felt that the days of healing her muteness, speaking with authority, and then escaping from Ji Yu Su’s clutches were not far away!

But—what’s up with that last mission reward!

Kiss Skill Proficiency +1?

Who, who would need something like that!

What a fool!

…………

Back in reality, Sherya knew she had spent too much time lingering under Ji Lian’s skirt.

So, with her adorable little face flushed red, she quietly slipped out from under Ji Lian’s skirt.

Then, she tilted her head up, as if eagerly anticipating Ji Lian’s expression, her cherry blossom-colored pupils gleaming with a hint of pleading, like a little puppy or kitten…

But soon, Ji Lian, slightly breathless, made a determination.

It must be a little puppy.

Because Sherya even stuck out her pink tongue, tired from licking, into the air, exposing it, along with the glistening strands that connected to her tender lips, visible.

Thump, thump! Thump, thump!

The girl’s heartbeat quickened.

There was only one thought in her mind.

She really wanted to cuddle the elf slave in front of her in her arms.

She wanted to cherish her, to make her emit those delicate, frail gasps and sobs that she could only produce as a mute girl…

The girl was lost in her own fantasies.

By the time Ji Lian snapped out of it.

Sherya had already been pulled into her arms.

The little one looked at her shyly and bewilderedly.

Ji Lian’s heart trembled.

She felt as if in the pure and flawless eyes of the elf girl, there was no room for the impurity in her heart.

Feeling ashamed, she quickly changed the subject and covered up, saying,

“Are you here to see the baby unicorn?”

“Shall I help you mount it?”

“… “

So, Ji Lian wanted to let Sherya ride Bai Ling by holding her.

Sherya narrowed her eyes, silently conveying gratitude and happiness.

She nodded.

Now, Ji Lian felt relieved.

It was great that the pure Sherya didn’t notice the impure thoughts in her heart.

She was well aware of the kind of… abuse the young and innocent Sherya had suffered under her sister.

So she didn’t want Sherya to find out at all.

In fact, she and her sister  both had feelings for her…

“Sit tight, here, hold onto this reins.”

“The baby unicorn is very obedient, and it recognizes you as its master, so don’t worry about it tossing you off.”

“……Mmhm!”

Sherya struggled to produce a strange affirmative sound from her throat.

Ji Lian encouraged her by patting her hair.

Sherya closed her eyes, showing a comfortable and relaxed posture.

At the same time, whether intentionally or unintentionally, her small hand imitated Ji Lian’s gesture and gently stroked the silver mane of the baby unicorn, Bai Ling.

The baby unicorn squinted its eyes, pawing at the ground with its jet-black hooves, also showing a contented expression.

This pair of master and mount.

Their expressions were surprisingly similar!

Ji Lian couldn’t help but suppress a chuckle.

“If possible, I will suggest it to my sister.”

“Let the baby unicorn accompany you back to the Imperial Capital.”

Ji Lian suddenly said.

Although she knew very well that such a whimsical suggestion…

Would probably be difficult to pass through her rational and cold sister.

Because the steam trains had limited capacity for passengers and cargo on each trip.

Allowing the baby unicorn to migrate along would undoubtedly be a luxury.

But humans are creatures that live on hope.

She wanted to give Sherya, who was lonely and helpless, more hope.

She wanted to see more of her, see her bright and lively smile.

…………

Even until she returned to her own bedroom, Ji Lian’s mood still felt as if it were floating in the clouds, feeling light and airy.

Lovely Sherya, she was truly capable of healing the heart.

She walked with the girl in the stable.

One speaking, the other obediently listening, and in that moment, time seemed to stand still peacefully.

She also taught Sherya to ride horses and control them to run.

This was a sport of nobility.

However, in the East, they were not called nobility, but rather aristocrats and nobles.

But after conquering the largest empire in the West, the “Western God’s Temple,” many Western words entered, including many Western customs which were also promoted by the Easterners.

And the Westerners’ view on this was undoubtedly — “Being noticed by Eastern lords is our honor!”

Sherya was quite timid, but after being encouraged by Ji Lian repeatedly, she dared to take her first step.

The baby unicorn, on the other hand, was delighted. As soon as it received the command to “run” through the reins, it happily galloped around the stable.

In the empty stable, the sound of wind and cheerful neighs filled the air.

After a lap around, Sherya, who threw herself into Ji Lian’s arms with tears in her eyes and sobbing, was so cute that it was hard to bear the thought of parting.

The little one was frightened, her shoulders trembling with sobs, her weak hands clutching tightly at Ji Lian’s clothes, almost suffocatingly tight…

Ji Lian gently comforted her for a long, long time.

Even Bai Ling, the baby unicorn pawed the ground uneasily, its expression downcast.

It made a sound like “like a wisp… like a wisp…”

Seemingly understanding, it seemed to know it had done something wrong.

It kept nudging Sherya’s body with its forehead, even licking her cheeks with its tongue.

With Ji Lian’s comforting, Sherya gradually calmed down.

As for Bai Ling, the baby unicorn…

She was both angry and helpless.

In the end, Sherya forgave the clumsy and playful little pony!

The day was already late.

Although Sherya looked reluctant to leave,

Ji Lian understood that staying longer posed the risk of being discovered by her sister…

So she suppressed her reluctance and bid Sherya farewell.

But what was even more unexpected was…

At that moment, Sherya actually lightly “pecked” Ji Lian’s cheek like a bird…
