How did she know I liked this shit!? This can't possibly be...
Am I so easy to read that even a 6-year-old girl is able to understand my tastes...?
This notion definitely left a large impact on Lucifer's pride, but that didn't stop him from chowing down while crying tears of blood...!
Watching her Big Bro happily eat all of her food, an almost imperceptible smile formed on Li Yan's round, adorable face.
If Big Brother is happy... I am happy.
Spending a few seconds to revel in the moment, Li Yan failed to notice the two muscular arms that picked her up and placed her on a chair.
"???"
Looking to the left, Li Yan saw Big Bro get right back to eating the delicious food. Taking brief brakes in between the chomps, he said, "You made this food, and you aren't going to eat any?
If you don't want to stay skin and bones forever, then it is definitely best that you get some actual nutrients in your stomach as well." Sticking a chicken drum in front of his little sister's face, Lucifer said, "Here, have some of this. You did a superb job on the breading."
Grabbing hold of the chicken drum, the blank-faced Li Yan was still trying to understand...
She was trying to understand why her Big Bro cared so much about her...
Nobody had ever cared about her... Not at birth, not in the years that followed...
So why?
Why does Big Brother care...?
Without her knowing any better, tears welled up in the corner of her eyes, and she clenched the chicken drum above her dress.
Whack.
"Wha...?" Feeling a painless sensation appear on top of her head, Li Yan turned her teary face upward, only to see an extraordinarily handsome, slightly smiling expression. "Don't worry about stupid things, short stuff. Just take things as they come and stop overthinking things. The present is not the past, and what was in the past should stay in the past.
Why don't you look forward to the future instead?"
Stopping the words that he said without thinking, Lucifer returned to munching away at the Teriyaki Chicken and Miso Soup.
A future...
Li Yan didn't know what to make of this ideal.
What really was a future? What did it have to do with her?
From birth, she was nothing. Even now, she thought of herself as nothing.
Why would nothing need a future...?
Frustrated with thinking about this impossible notion, Li Yan abruptly blurted out, "Future... What does that mean??"

It was with a system interface like this one that Lucifer was finally able to overcome the first of the Chasm Gods.
Shocking the other four Chasm Gods, they stopped underestimating the speck of dust and attacked him all at once!
Destroying more than 80% of the land that made up the Elemental Nations, their battle was ceaseless and apocalyptic...
Evaporating half a nation with every move they made, countless lives were lost with their calamity dance through the skies. Dying the sky a crimson red and raining fire bolts from above, the world below was thrown into complete pandemonium.
The Lightning Bearer Organization, the Shadow Slave Branch, Riversea City, and all the prefectures and provinces—everything was blown into oblivion.
Of the people that remained with a pulse in the Elemental Nations, they eventually died due to the residual and all-encompassing effects of the battle between the gods...
In the end, the only people still alive in the world were Lucifer and Li Yan—two siblings who really only cared about each other and themselves.
Well, there was one other person that survived the chaos. But she was lucky enough to meet an Early Soul Transformation Realm Female Master and get whisked away to some unknown land...
Damn shoes still needed to be shined, so it was only natural that she made it out in one piece...
But regardless of what may or may not have happened to a certain shoe-shining, back-loving bitch, the two last people in the world were finishing up a damn good movie. Ignoring all the tumultuous chaos in the outside world, they sat together and discussed the events depicted in the top-tier swamp movie.
When the movie finally came to an end, Lucifer and Li Yan looked at each other for a second. Lucifer was the first to break the silence and say, "Are you ready to journey to a world beyond and acquire some more loot for this awesome brother of yours?"
Lightly bobbing her small head, Li Yan climbed up his left arm and sat herself on his shoulders. After which, she said, "Mhmm... Time for loot." Sporting a determined look on her face, she hugged Big Bro's head and got into Battle Loot Mode!
"Ai, that is my Li Yan for ya. I wonder who you learned from to be this awesome, umu?"
Nodding his head in a pleasant mood, Lucifer got up off the couch and took his little sister away from the Mountain Dome. Failing to notice Li Yan creepily murmuring, 'He said I was his...', Lucifer made his way toward a certain spot beyond the clouds.
There would definitely need to be some explaining on Lucifer's part when his parents learned of the brother-con that Li Yan had become, but they would for sure work things out.
After all, they were one big happy family, and family gets through its issues...!

Inside a pearl-white palace beyond the clouds.
"Oh shit, oh shit! Oh fucking shit! What do we do!?"
Pacing around in circles, Lady Mu was freaking the fuck out!
