**Chapter 116: Xu Xiaofeng’s Big Crisis!**
Elia and Xu Xiaoyue slipped into a secluded spot, and just as Xu Xiaoyue was about to speak, Elia raised a hand to hush her.
“My little sister can hear better.”
Then she pulled out a bead and activated it.
“Okay, we can talk now.”
Not far away, Xu Xiaofeng heard Elia’s words and quickly ducked her head in embarrassment.
She totally wanted to eavesdrop, but now she was completely out of luck.
Ugh, she really hoped they wouldn’t get into some awkward topics that she couldn’t brush off.
Who could’ve thought that Elia would just show up to find her and then strike up a conversation with her sister?
Usually, situations like this simply did not happen.
Noble activities were typically confined to the inner city, and don’t even get started on the royal family! As for the outsiders, they were mostly stuck in the outer city area. Even if a few managed to sneak into the inner city, they could merely interact with lowly servants and such.
Given the nobles’ disdainful attitude towards outsiders, it was practically impossible to even catch a glimpse or hear them speak.
So in principle, there was a serious information gap between the nobles and the outsiders, or rather, the players. It was an inevitable result born from geographical and status-related barriers.
Getting intel from nobles was like climbing a mountain for players; they might understand the general situation of outsiders but would never bother with the details.
So, was Elia an exception?
Nah! It was all thanks to the wild card that was Xu Xiaofeng.
Oh dear, what a deeply sinful woman she was.
Now she had to bear the consequences of her own actions.
Thus began her information bombardment towards Xu Xiaoyue.
“Stop chatting; you still need to be in charge here!”
“I’m really worried you’ll accidentally provoke someone; if that happens, you’ll definitely be in for a rough time.”
“Seriously, don’t chat. Take my word for it; that woman is dangerous! One slip-up and you might not be able to establish yourself in the entire Jade Emperor Kingdom!”

Xu Xiaofeng: …
Meanwhile, Xu Xiaoyue couldn’t figure out what was going on with her big brother, so she decided to block him first. She’d give him a piece of her mind once their chat was over.
She gave the shimmering bubble surrounding them a glance and then turned to Elia. “Sister, can I call you that?”
“Maybe not; we’re still unfamiliar.”
Xu Xiaoyue had no idea her attempt to get cozy was going a bit overboard; she assumed it was just Elia drawing the line.
However, she didn’t get discouraged.
“Then how should I address you?”
“No need for titles for now. Just the two of us here, feel free to speak your mind.”
“Alright…”
This gap felt a bit too severe, making Xu Xiaoyue feel like her opening move had completely flopped, and the pressure was mounting.
“Well, I wanted to talk about… uh, I just realized I don’t even know what my boss’s name is. How embarrassing.”
Players only knew her as Little Girl, while Nuclear Bomb Little Sister was a nickname players had given her themselves.
Oh right, her big brother hadn’t told her what her name was yet!
She quickly unblocked and asked.
“What’s her name?”
Xu Xiaofeng blinked for a moment, then realized, I have no idea what my name is either!
“I don’t know.”
Xiaoyue: (#Middle Finger).
“I can’t believe this…”
*Notification: You have been blocked.*
At the same time, Elia was facing the exact same conundrum.
What was my sister’s name again?
She said I could call her Little Wind, but that was clearly just an adventurer’s codename, not a real name. Look at those outsiders, they all have such bizarre names.
The local adventurers didn’t fair any better; names like Lone Warrior, Exotic Flower, Silver Wolf Blizzard, and Sword Superman were just some of the oddities flying around.
Elia thought for a moment before cleverly deflecting the question.
If others found out she, the big sister, didn’t even know her sister’s name, it would be absolutely ridiculous!
“You could just ask my sister directly about her name; asking me in private feels a bit impolite.”
“I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to.”
Xu Xiaoyue quickly bowed her head in apology.
Having bungled two questions in a row, Xu Xiaoyue felt as if the mounting pressure could crush mountains.
So, she decided to cut the fuss and skip the indirect approach!
Straight to the point!
“To be honest, I really like your sister! I’ve always wished to have such a cute sister!”
“Uh?”
The sudden direct hit caught Elia a bit off guard.
After a second of thought, her expression turned into a strange mix of confusion and amusement.
“So, what are you implying?”
“I want to… actually, I want to be her sister too! Ugh, but she refuses to even call me that.”
“I’ve been trying to bring her snacks, give her little gifts—she gets all the benefits, yet still keeps her distance from me.”
“Uh…” Elia was momentarily speechless. After some thought, she could only comment, “That kid can indeed be quite mischievous…”
Receiving gifts without reciprocating was basically candy-coated artillery shells; she took a bite out of the shells and then tossed them back.
Elia found this behavior totally incomprehensible. If you’re accepting gifts, you ought to play your part.
Elia actually believed she understood Little Wind’s reluctance to casually accept a sister.
After all, Little Wind was nobility, her status inherently placed her above, and naming an ordinary person as her sister didn’t quite sit right.
So, she should have firmly refused, right?
“By the way, my sister mentioned you’re her employee—what do you do?”
“Oh, I’m her livestream assistant.”
Then Xu Xiaoyue proceeded to explain the concept of livestreaming to Elia. In places where it didn’t make much sense, she simply said it was a special kind of magic.
To her surprise, Elia understood perfectly. She didn’t bother questioning whether such miraculous magic could indeed exist; she simply nodded in awe, “What an incredible magic it is.”
Haha, electromagnetic wave magic, thermodynamic magic, Hertz’s magic, Edison’s grand magic—don’t joke around!
“From this perspective, you really are important to her.”
At that moment, Elia completely grasped the situation.
She had figured it all out!
The awkward relationship between Little Wind and this outsider was purely because Little Wind saw her as an employee, while Xu Xiaoyue wanted a promotion!
But Little Wind couldn’t let go; she was stuck in this clingy, ambiguous limbo!
Oh dear, Little Wind was really naughty, playing with another girl’s sincere feelings.
But hey, that’s youth for you! Pull and tug, sweet and sour.
Honestly, Elia was somewhat smitten.
“This little sister means a lot to me too. You should know, her appearance is super adorable! Sometimes just her little expressions and actions can melt my heart in an instant. She’s basically the perfect template for a little sister!”
“Oh wow, you think so too?” Elia’s eyes lit up.
Although that compliment was meant for Little Wind, it somehow made her happier than a compliment aimed at herself.
What was this? A soulmate connection!
“I’m telling you, when I fed her snacks before, the way she reacted was just so blissful to watch.”
“Wow, that’s great! I wanna feed her too!”
“And there’s more…”
Before long, they were both sharing everything they knew.
In an instant, the barrier between them seemed to vanish completely.
