Man on the ark, forced to become king

To be fair, Yelena didn't want to listen to Talulah's nonsense. She felt that Talulah was starting to go astray, so she thought of tricking her into taking the blame and becoming a target.

But ironically, she had almost hit someone before due to her impulsiveness...

"elder sister!"

Sometimes, what you fear most is exactly what happens.

Just as Talulah felt that her little plan to bring Yelena over might succeed and breathed a sigh of relief, the voice from behind made her tremble. Her back straightened instantly, and she knew something was wrong.

Sure enough, as soon as she turned around, she saw Shining and that Phil appear not far away.

Shining was fine; nothing seemed amiss, and she still had a faint smile on her lips.

That film was different; it accelerated and rushed towards them at a very high speed.

Snapped!

Talulah wanted to dodge and turn to run, but she didn't move and was hugged tightly. Yelena, who was next to her, subconsciously took two steps back, her eyes filled with fear.

After hearing Talulah's guess, she also felt that something was wrong.

Hugging someone right away is a bit too intimate for people who have just met and aren't even friends, isn't it?

Could it be true?

Thinking of this, she looked at the two people embracing each other, then at Shining who was walking over slowly, gritted her teeth, and took the initiative to go to meet them.

Forgive me, Talulah!

She should apologize to this virtuous doctor and try to mend the relationship; it was her duty.

As for that Felin, let Talulah handle it herself; she has no ability to manage it.

"Wait, Yelena—"

Talulah was panicking and tried to stop her, but all she got in response was Yelena's increasingly rapid footsteps and her cold, cloaked back.

"Sister, Shining said we need to stay here for a while. Can I come with you?"

Chen, who transformed into a film model, tried her best to make her performance more convincing. In reality, she didn't need to act at all; it was a completely genuine expression of emotion, and her calling out "sister" was very natural.

So many years, so many years...

Ever since Talulah was taken away from Lungmen by Koschei, seeing her sister again and bringing her back has become her obsession. Now, she has finally touched her sister again, not as a bubble that can be popped in a dream, but as a real, living Talulah!

For a moment, she could hardly contain her excitement and almost lost her composure, taking the initiative to remove her disguise. It was only thanks to Shining's subtle reminders several times that she was able to avoid revealing her identity.

"Um, I'm the leader, yes, I'm the leader of the Reunion Movement. Following me is very dangerous!"

Talulah raised both arms, her body stiff as a log, and forced a smile as she refused.

Being hugged by a very cute film girl, especially with the possibility that the other party might have 'ulterior motives', she didn't even know where to put her hands and feet.

Pushing it away? That doesn't seem like a good idea.

She felt uncomfortable being held like this.

In short, it's very uncomfortable.

"Then I can be your bodyguard!"

Chen failed to notice Talulah's subtle rejection. He was in a state of excitement, released his arms, and without saying a word, took the two swords hanging behind his waist, his eyes burning with fervor.

"Sister, I'm very strong!"

As she shouted, she was completely unaware of how childish and inappropriate her behavior was.

However, Talulah didn't care.

When the girl in front of her affectionately called her "sister," her eyes were somewhat dazed, and memories that had become blurred after many years resurfaced in her mind.

That indescribable familiarity grew stronger.

Many years ago, when she was still in Longmen, some people called her that too.

Back then, Huijie would often follow her around, shouting that she wanted to be a knight-errant in the future.

Like, so similar.

If the person standing in front of her wasn't a film, she would have even felt like she was seeing her younger sister.

Is it a hallucination? This feeling, like a resonance of blood...

But this is clearly a film...

Wait! She remembered that the powerful figure from the Golden Tree had said that he was Hui Jie's teacher, and Hui Jie was currently in Ursus.

So, is there a type of Originium Arts in this world that can disguise racial characteristics?

The sensations emanating from her very being were so real that Talulah couldn't help but have an inconceivable thought arise in her mind.

Could this person be her sister?

Normally, this possibility is almost non-existent.

But she just couldn't help thinking that way.

Maintaining her stiff posture, Talulah lowered her eyes, her gaze shifting between the two swords. After a long silence, she suddenly spoke, "If you want to be my guard, words alone won't do. How about we have a contest?"

Chapter 129 Chen Zai Suffers a Setback

"Competition?"

Chen was so excited that he was about to agree without thinking, but then he swallowed the words back.

Her fingers gripping Chixiao trembled almost imperceptibly. The violent power suppressed within the sword sheath surged under the influence of her state of mind, pulling her mind, which was immersed in excitement and fantasy, back to reality.

It was only then that she suddenly realized that she seemed to have done something wrong.

Those overly excited reactions and instinctive displays of affection were completely inappropriate when meeting strangers for the first time.

The joy of seeing her sister again after so many years blinded her reason, leading her to do something she shouldn't have.

Now that I've calmed down and thought about it again, I'm sure she must have seemed very suspicious to Talulah in that state.

Perhaps it was precisely because of this suspicion that the invitation to this competition was extended?

So, what to do?

If one disagrees, it seems even more suspicious, as it completely contradicts the 'persona' she just presented, and it might lead to even more speculation.

agree?

Talulah not only recognizes the Crimson Sky Sword, but also the Crimson Sky Sword Technique. It's fine if she doesn't draw her sword, but if she uses it in a competition, she will definitely be exposed.

Furthermore, the power of the Golden Tree cannot be used, because Talulah has witnessed and experienced it firsthand.

Wouldn't that just leave us with nothing more than relying on physical strength, abandoning prayer and swordsmanship, and just fighting wildly?

Can Talulah dispel her suspicions in the competition by just randomly attacking?

Chen had no idea and felt completely uncertain.

"Why don't you speak?"

Seeing the girl suddenly fall silent, as if she were a completely different person from before, Talulah's suspicions grew even stronger.

If she had only suspected it before, she was now almost certain that there was something wrong with this film!

If there's no problem, why are you afraid to play against her? Are you afraid of being exposed on the court?

Once you have a clear target of suspicion, no matter how outlandish the conjecture may be, you will unconsciously think in that direction.

The girl from Draco remained expressionless, but her movements were increasingly aggressive. She moved closer and placed her hand on the military knife hanging at her waist.

"Don't worry, we'll stop here. I'll hold back and won't hurt you."

"..."

Chen pursed his lips, somewhat hesitant, yet also a little unconvinced.

Lin Lu had previously said that her strength was far inferior to Talulah's, and now Talulah herself has said the same thing.

Hold back your strength so you don't hurt her? Is she really that bad?

Since that's the case, then let's fight! Who's afraid of who!

She admits that she lacks experience in actual combat, but in a friendly sparring match, it's not certain who is better!

Once his competitive spirit took hold, he couldn't suppress it any longer. Chen steeled his resolve and nodded emphatically: "Then come on, you don't need to hold back, I'm very strong!"

Such a childish temper...

Talulah shook her head inwardly. Wasn't this just a child showing off?

Let's restrain ourselves a bit later and not really hurt the child. Let's be more considerate of her.

However, if we're going to have a friendly competition, we'll have to talk to the 'parents' first.

With that thought, Talulah smiled and nodded, then walked toward Shining, who was not far away.

Chen was a little nervous, his fingers gripping the scabbard as he watched the two people talking. Shanling nodded from time to time, as if the matter was settled.

Now that things have come to this, she has to try her best; she can't let others look down on her!

Sure enough, Talulah came over shortly afterward and pointed to a small open space outside the camp.
