Chapter 300: Why Aren't You Saying Anything?
Meanwhile, inside the Mystic Starry Realm, Asher laid his unconscious sister onto a bed and placed a warm blanket over her body.
He then proceeded to remove his tattered clothes and wear a set of new, clean ones. They were made from soft, white silk, which felt cool against his skin, helping him relax somewhat after the tense moments he had experienced.
As Asher took a deep breath, he sat beside Alia on the bed, stroking her long, purple hair gently.
Her breathing was steady, and her face looked peaceful. She looked so beautiful and delicate in this moment that Asher couldn't help but feel a strong urge to protect her.
However, he knew that she wasn't someone who needed protection. She was much stronger than anyone else around her age. After all, she had a unique constitution that allowed her to absorb spirit essence into her body directly from the world itself. This meant that she had no need to cultivate like others did.
Yet, that very same ability was the reason why she couldn't be by his side, for she needed to stay isolated from the outside world to control her power. As a child, her body wasn't able to handle this amount of spirit essence, causing her to lose control and cause massive damage to the Blake Family grounds.
It was a relief that she didn't kill anyone, but considering her element affinity, she could have wiped out the whole mortal city if it weren't for Aria, who was with them at the time. Aria protected everyone from her sister's uncontrolled element, and even after that, Alia was still taken away to a faraway place.
Asher could remember that moment like it just happened yesterday. He remembered how sad she was to leave them. Her tears fell uncontrollably from her purple eyes as she looked back at Asher. She wanted to be with him, but she couldn't, as she feared that her power would one day hurt him. Read latest chapters on m_v l-NovelBin.net
Soon, Asher closed his eyes, allowing his emotions to calm down and his heart to settle. He needed to focus on the present rather than dwell on the past. There was no point in reminiscing about things that could not be changed.
He needed to make sure that Alia wouldn't ever end up in that kind of situation again. He imagined how hard it was for her to control her powers and what she had to go through while being stuck in a dark, cold room.
And so he wanted to give her everything she deserved. He wanted to give her happiness and joy, and most of all, he wanted her to know that he would always be there for her whenever she needed him.
'I'll make sure that you won't feel lonely again, Big Sis, Alia,' Asher thought, 'I promise that you'll be able to enjoy the happiness you deserve.'
With these thoughts in mind, he opened up his eyes once more and looked at his sister's sleeping figure before cradling her in his arms and hugging her tight. He then placed a gentle kiss on her forehead and whispered softly in her ear, "Sleep well, Big Sis."

When Alia woke up, she found herself lying in a comfortable bed in a cozy room, surrounded by soft pillows and warm blankets. The curtains were drawn shut, blocking out the light, but there was still enough light for her to see clearly.
It didn't take her long to notice Asher sleeping beside her. He had an arm wrapped around her waist while his other hand held hers.
The gentle look in his eyes as he smiled at her made Alia's heart skip a beat, and she felt a warm feeling rise from deep within her chest. This feeling made her smile back at him and snuggle closer to his chest, pressing her head against him.
She remembered what she was doing with his little brother and felt a wave of heat wash over her as she recalled the pleasure she experienced with him. The memory of it made her blush even more.
"Good morning, Big Sis. Did you sleep well?" Asher asked as he stroked Alia's long, purple hair with one hand.
Alia loved this feeling and gave a light nod while still looking into Asher's blue eyes. "Yes, Little Ash."
However, the very next moment, her eyes sharpened as she looked at him. "Little Ash, what did you do to me? Why was I feeling like I was drowning in pleasure? Not to mention that I also lost consciousness after you did something to my soul. Explain!"
Alia's voice contained a hint of anger mixed with confusion, which made Asher flinch slightly. But he didn't say anything and simply stared into her purple eyes, his expression calm and unreadable.
A moment passed by in silence before Alia spoke again. "Why aren't you saying anything?"
"I know you're angry and confused right now. But please believe me when I say that I had no choice but to do that. If I hadn't done what I did, then there's a chance that you would've done something that you'd regret later. And I couldn't let that happen."
Asher said this with a sincere tone, hoping that she'd understand his actions and forgive him.
"You mean I will regret hurting someone who stole my little brother away from me?" Alia asked coldly as she narrowed her eyes at him. "Why would I regret it?"
Her words felt like a sharp dagger piercing through his heart, making his blood run cold. He knew that this wasn't just some casual question.
No, she was serious about her question.
He could see it in her eyes. She was angry, furious even, but more importantly, she was hurt. She felt betrayed by someone who meant everything to her. It was as though her entire world was collapsing around her, leaving her alone in a void with nothing to cling to.
The pain in her voice struck him hard. It was a pain he had never experienced before, like an invisible force squeezing his heart so tight that it felt like it would burst any second now.
But Asher didn't show any outward signs of weakness. Instead, he maintained calm composure while looking into her eyes. "I know that it's hard for you to believe me right now, but please try to calm down and listen to me carefully."
He paused for a moment before continuing.
"You were right. I did find other women I love, and they have stolen my heart. They've made me happy in a way that I never imagined possible. They've given me something I've never had before. But, Big Sis, I've never loved you any less. I love you.
I always have. I always will. You're my twin sister. We were born together, and we've grown up together. I've known you my whole life. I've known you better than anyone else in this world.
And even though I've found someone else to love, that doesn't mean I don't love you anymore. I still love you. You're still important to me, just like you've always been. That won't change, no matter what happens. You will always be my precious Big Sis."
As Asher said this, Alia's anger didn't subside, as she was still unable to accept what he was saying.
It was as if there was a wall between them now, separating them from each other forever.
