You want to laugh yourself to death, then inherit my sister?
——
When Lily Huang heard that Andrew Han was also going to enter the Primordial Contest half a star-year later, she burst out laughing. Her laughter made her double over, her sweet face flushed, dimples flickering at the corners of her mouth, and even tears glimmered at the edges of her brows.
She was about to go crazy with amusement, unable to control herself.
It was just too funny.
Andrew Han, a newcomer to the Primordial Gate who hadn't even finished his adaptation period, actually dared to sign up for the contest. He was completely lacking in self-awareness... Lily Huang laughed so hard she bent at the waist, her fair right hand repeatedly slapping the air, unable to stop.
Andrew Han: "..."
Inherit your sister? What would be the point?
It wasn't that he looked down on Serena Huang, nor was he targeting her specifically. He simply had no interest in any woman other than Monica Zhang. No matter how beautiful, could anyone compare to the pure feelings of reunion across lifetimes?
Huh!
Wait a minute!
Andrew Han's pupils suddenly contracted: "A reunion across past and present lives—could it really be connected to Fate? Earth can't explain it, but the universe is so vast; surely there are similar cases among the Human Race of the stars."
He quietly resolved to start investigating as soon as possible.
With billions of ancient tomes and endless information in the Archaic Hall, he was determined to uncover the truth behind his past-life memories.
So on the surface, Andrew Han only watched Lily Huang quietly, looking like he should be reacting to her performance, but remained unmoved.
Beside him.
Serena Huang, noble and elegant, frowned slightly, her silver hair coiled atop her head.
Even someone as strong as Serena Huang felt a bit inexplicably awkward. She reached out and pinched her younger sister Lily's cheek. "Enough, just listen to what you're saying."
"Hehe, it's just so shocking!" Lily Huang shook her head, rubbed her soft chest, and pouted.
Serena Huang frowned and scolded, "Andrew Han defeated you in your third duel and crushed you easily in the fourth. What grounds do you have to claim he isn't qualified to enter the contest in half a star-year?"
Lily Huang was stunned, instantly left speechless.
Serena Huang frowned and spoke earnestly, "Don't judge others by your own standards, and don't ridicule them so lightly. Have you forgotten what our mother taught us?"
"I haven't forgotten," Lily replied meekly.
"Then apologize to Andrew Han." Serena released her grip on her sister's cheek, her words full of meaning. "You underestimate the Primordial Gate. It's not uncommon for someone to finish their adaptation period and immediately break into the top hundred. The Spark-Heritage Zone is a place where miracles happen all the time."
In a normal star system, Lily's behavior would be fine—a little laughter wouldn't matter.
But where are they now?
They're in the Spark-Heritage Zone of the Archaic Hall, at the Primordial Gate!
Even if Andrew Han already has the strength to reach the top hundred of the Primordial Gate, so what? There are precedents!
"Hmph."
Lily Huang grunted twice, shuffled over, and stood next to Andrew Han. "Sorry, I was wrong. I shouldn't have made fun of you."
Andrew Han nodded calmly. "Oh."
... Lily Huang was silent for a moment, circled Andrew twice, then said honestly, "But I still think you shouldn't sign up. It's impossible."
Andrew Han smiled lightly. "How will you know if you don't try?"
With that,
he walked toward the Famous Masters Pavilion.
The registration process for this Primordial Contest was relatively simple: just verify one's life aura. After all, in the Primordial Gate, deception was impossible—no matter how advanced the technology or secret techniques, nothing could be hidden from true experts.
"Andrew Han, let's go together."
With noble grace, Serena Huang stepped forward and entered the Famous Masters Pavilion alongside Andrew Han.
As for Lily Huang, she stayed where she was.
She watched as Andrew Han and her elder sister Serena Huang entered the Famous Masters Pavilion.
She was a life-gene cultivator and couldn't participate in this contest. Even if she could, she wouldn't; after all, Andrew Han had already defeated her, so his strength was obvious.
Mhm.
Lily Huang remained at the entrance, standing in front of the Famous Masters Pavilion, lost in thought.
The surroundings were quiet.
Occasionally, other Primordial Geniuses arrived, striding into the Famous Masters Pavilion—all coming to register for the contest.
Gradually, Lily's eyes lit up as she stared intently at the Pavilion. "If things go like those star-fantasy dramas, Andrew Han will definitely get into trouble walking in with my sister. Do you know her status? She's one of the top ten strongest in the Primordial Gate, with countless admirers! Hehe, I'll just wait here patiently for Andrew to get beaten up, then reluctantly comfort him afterward."
Lily Huang felt happy.
The more she thought about it, the more excited she became, even humming a little tune.
......
About three to five minutes later, she stared blankly as three people walked out of the Pavilion: Andrew Han in his green robe, her sister Serena Huang, and Serena's green-haired admirer, side by side from left to right.
What was even more outrageous was—
the three of them were chatting and laughing together, with no sign of conflict at all.
According to Lily Huang's imagination, the green-haired youth should have taught Andrew Han a lesson to reinforce his status as a suitor.
"What's going on?"
"Did he finish registering?"
Lily Huang's sweet face was full of doubt as she watched Andrew Han clasp his hands in farewell and leave, transforming into a streak of green light heading toward the twin stars.
This shouldn't be happening!
This isn't scientific!
This doesn't make any logical sense!
Andrew Han just left—so simply, so plainly, without any waves or drama, he finished registering and left.
