Chapter 135 : Goodbye System (3)
Chapter 135 : Goodbye System (3)
As my discomfort intensified, a clear and biting mockery resonated in the room. I recognized the unmistakable voice of Lysandra, who never missed the opportunity to make a sarcastic comment. "Some things never change," she said with her characteristic mocking tone, causing my discomfort to increase.
Before I could respond, a familiar and comforting voice broke the tension. "Elder brother! You're back!" exclaimed Ema as she ran out from some unknown place. My heart filled with warmth at the sight of her, and a smile spread across my face as I extended my arms to greet her.
Ema ran straight towards me and threw herself into my arms, embracing me tightly. I felt her body warmth, and her familiarity comforted me. I stroked her small back as I hugged her, feeling a deep satisfaction as I realized how much she had grown since my last departure, especially since the awakening of the lineage, which had grown even more.
Ema raised her cute head, and her eyes sparkled with excitement as she looked at Anthony. "Big brother, what gift did you bring me, huh?" she exclaimed joyfully, jumping around her older brother. Anthony's happy expression froze as he realized he had forgotten to bring a gift for Ema.
His mind raced, desperately searching for something he could offer Ema as a gift. Suddenly, he remembered the Seven Star Flower, a rare and beautiful flower he had found in the cave during one of his journeys. With a smile on his lips, he took out the flower and handed it to Ema.
Ema took the flower in her hands curiously, looking at Anthony with a puzzled expression. Seeing her reaction, Anthony coughed slightly embarrassed and knelt down to be at eye level with Ema. He gently placed his hands on Ema's shoulders and explained to her tenderly, "This flower you're holding is very valuable."
Anthony paused for a moment, contemplating the flower in his sister's hands, before continuing, "With this flower, you can obtain a bloodline." His words filled with seriousness as he looked at Ema.
Ema's parents arrived just in time to hear what Anthony had just said. Their expressions froze, and they remained as still as statues, surprised by the unexpected revelation. Ema's eyes shone even brighter upon hearing her brother's words and upon contemplating the flower in her hands.
"Really! You're not lying to me, right?" exclaimed Ema excitedly, jumping for joy as she looked at the flower with bright and amazed eyes. The excitement in her voice was palpable, and her contagious enthusiasm filled the room with an aura of expectation and wonder.
Ema's parents exchanged a look full of surprise and pride at their daughter's reaction. They approached her with a smile, enveloping her in a warm hug full of love and joy. Ema responded to the hug with enthusiasm, feeling the love and support of her parents in that special moment.
Anthony greeted Ema's parents politely and explained to them about the lineage awakening process. He informed them that this process could not be carried out in the room, so they needed to move to a private room in the guild to carry it out properly and safely. Ema's parents nodded understandingly and gratefully for Anthony's explanation.
After spending several hours chatting and sharing laughs while we were all gathered and enjoying a great meal, the night finally arrived. In the room, Anthony sat in a chair, looking out through the window. Out of the corner of his eye, he noticed how Lysandra and Ema were focused on their studies, while Ema seemed to be sweating and putting all her attention on Lysandra's explanations.
Once Ema's parents left, Lysandra took Ema under her wing, and they started studying together. Anthony watched the scene with a mix of concern, feeling sorry for his younger sister.
Several hours passed, Anthony was lost in his thoughts, when a blue window appeared in front of his eyes.
[Ding!]
[Ding! The system will disappear in the next few seconds]
[Ding! The skills that the host gained from the system will remain recorded in the host's soul, and the skills that the host purchased]
[Ding! The system wishes the host good luck]
Anthony watched as the system faintly glowed and the blue screen slowly faded away, until it disappeared completely. For a few moments, he felt a void inside. Although he had barely used the system, the skills and knowledge he had acquired from it had been of great help on his journey until that moment.
"Thank you," murmured Anthony in a silent sigh, feeling a heaviness in his heart. It took a few minutes before he could regain his spirits. In his hands, a bright green fruit appeared. Just as he was about to take a bite, someone snatched the fruit from him. Surprised, Anthony looked up and saw Ema, who was looking at the fruit with bright eyes.
When Ema looked at him, she released a mischievous smile and finally took a bite of the fruit. Her eyes almost widened as plates as she tasted it, and in a matter of seconds, the fruit disappeared completely before her eyes. The expression of surprise and delight on Ema's face made Anthony smile.
Anthony watched as Ema approached him with pleading eyes. With a comforting smile, he took out a total of fifteen fruits from his ring, knowing that they would be shared with his beloved sister.
Remembering that he had also found a ring on the ground, Anthony handed it to Ema. The excitement shone in Ema's eyes as she received her older brother's gift. With a gleam of happiness on her face, Ema expressed her gratitude effusively towards Anthony, embracing him affectionately.

Anthony noticed how Lysandra and Elsa looked at him with critical eyes, and he understood the silent message that both girls were sending him. However, seeing the radiant smile on Ema's face, he couldn't help but give in to the desire to spoil his sister, she is so adorable.
