Investiture of the Gods: Childhood Sweetheart Daji, Starting with Quasi-Saint Cultivation

A night breeze blew by, and the lanterns under the eaves swayed gently.

Su Yunbai stood at the edge of the halo, his figure still upright, but it seemed that something fundamental had been completely changed.

The system interface quietly appeared in the corner of his field of vision, simple and clear:

[Host: Su Yunbai]

[Cultivation Level: Early Quasi-Saint (Law of Emotion)]

[Lingbao: Entangled in Love (Innate Treasure Embryo)]

Current intimacy level: 0

power.

A boundless and immense power surged within him.

Su Yunbai stood in the courtyard, his fist slightly clenched, and the air emitted a low hum.

It is not an illusion, but a real and undeniable force powerful enough to shake the very heavens and earth.

Quasi-Saint.

This level of combat power, which is considered top-tier even in the primordial world, is now under his control.

There is also the "Entwined Love Threads" that are integrated into the soul. With the slightest thought, one can perceive the strange Daoist charm that severs all things yet entangles all things.

Eighteen years of repression and powerlessness were utterly crushed at this moment.

He looked at Su Daji in front of him.

She seemed still immersed in that strange feeling from just now, her eyes filled with confusion and a hint of barely perceptible dependence as she quietly looked at him.

it's time.

Su Yunbai took a deep breath.

Now that we have the power to protect everything, the first step is to face our own hearts and hold onto the people we most want to protect.

"Sister," he said, his voice lower and stronger than usual.

"Hmm?" Daji looked up and met his eyes.

My brother's eyes... are so bright, so deep, as if they could suck you in.

"There are some things I've kept in my heart for a long time." Su Yunbai took a step forward, and the distance between the two suddenly closed.

Daji could clearly feel the energy emanating from him.

The atmosphere was both reassuring and unsettling; I instinctively wanted to back away, but my feet felt rooted to the spot.

"We are not siblings." Su Yunbai looked directly at her, his words as blunt as a drawn sword!

"Eighteen years ago, my adoptive father found me in the snow. There is no blood relation between us."

Daji was stunned.

She knew about this, but it had never been brought up so directly.

She opened her mouth, but didn't know what to say.

"For the past eighteen years, you have been the most important light in my life."

Su Yunbai continued speaking, using the straightforward and passionate words from his past life, which seemed particularly thrilling in this era.

"I'm happy when I see you, and I miss you when I can't see you."

"I get angrier than anyone else when others bully you. Just one smile from you and I feel like the sky has cleared up."

"Before, I lacked the ability to say certain things or do certain things."

He paused, a trace of the profound and imposing aura of a quasi-saint unconsciously emanating from him.

Although it subsided instantly, it still shook Daji to her core, as if she had seen a towering mountain to look up to.

But now, things are different.

He took her hand again.

This time, it was no longer a hasty encounter, but a firm, warm, and irresistible force.

"Su Daji," he called her by her full name, his gaze intense.

"I don't want to just be your brother."

...

.....

"I like you."

"It's not a younger brother's affection for his older sister, it's a man's affection for a woman."

"It's the kind of love where I want to be with you forever, go through all the days to come, have children, and grow old together."

Every word was like a small hammer, striking Daji's heart.

Her face flushed bright red instantly, and even the tips of her ears turned crimson.

My mind was buzzing, a complete mess.

Does he like... his younger brother like her? Is it a man's attraction to a woman?

This...this is too sudden! This is so improper!

But... why is my heart beating so fast?

Why does the hand he's holding feel so hot, like it's burning?

Those words were so blunt, so embarrassing... yet, so strange.

It sounds unsettling, yet also... inexplicably sweet?

"I..." She tried to pull her hand back in a panic, but failed.

She wanted to look up and glare at him, but as soon as her gaze met his deep, resolute eyes, which were filled with her own reflection, she looked away as if she had been burned.

"I know this is sudden," Su Yunbai said, his voice softening and reassuring. "You don't need to answer me right away."

"I just wanted to tell you how I feel."

"I also want to tell you that from now on, you have me. If the sky falls, I'll hold it up. If the earth sinks, I'll carry it."

"No one can let you suffer even the slightest injustice anymore, and no one can decide your fate anymore."

"You choose your own path. But I," he tightened his grip on her hand, "will always be with you on the path you choose."

After he finished speaking, the courtyard fell silent.

The only sounds were the rustling of leaves in the wind and Daji's increasingly loud heartbeat.

She was completely stunned.

From childhood to adulthood, I have been taught about female virtues and etiquette. I have never heard such a passionate, direct, and almost heretical declaration.

The person in question is someone I've always considered my younger brother!

Strangely, besides feeling embarrassed and flustered, a strange and frightening tremor welled up deep within her heart.

younger brother……

No, Yun Bai seems to be really different now.

The feeling I had just experienced, and this overwhelming aura of control I have now...

[Ding! A deep emotional exchange has been conducted with the character 'Su Daji', increasing intimacy by 500.]

[Ding! Direct physical contact (holding hands), intimacy level +100.]

[Ding! Verbal confession triggered a strong emotional response from the target, intimacy level +1000.]

[Current intimacy level: 1600 points.]

A system notification sounded in my mind.

Su Yunbai remained expressionless, simply watching Daji quietly, waiting for her reaction and giving her time to process it.

After a long while, Daji seemed to suddenly come to her senses, forcefully pulling her hand back and taking several steps back, almost tripping over her own skirt.

"You... what nonsense are you talking about!" Her voice was urgent and embarrassed, trembling.

"I...I'm your older sister!"

"We are not related by blood," Su Yunbai repeated calmly.

"That...that won't do! What will people say about Father and Mother..." She stammered, her mind a complete mess.

"None of that matters." Su Yunbai took a step forward, his aura gentle yet carrying an invisible pressure. "What matters is what you think."

"I...I don't know!" Daji was almost in tears, a blush spreading from her face to her neck. "Don't force me...I need to go back and think!"

After saying that, she didn't care about anything else and turned around like a startled fawn.

Lifting her skirt, she ran towards her courtyard without looking back. Her steps were unsteady, her back view frantic.

Su Yunbai did not chase after him.

Pushing too hard can actually be counterproductive.
