Feng Yi bitterly smiled, "I'm not good at cooking."
"Young man, don't be modest. Here, take the spatula." The aunt understood his dilemma, giving him a knowing look that people with experience share. She patted his shoulder as if to say, "Little brother, it's all up to you now."
Well... alright then, Feng Yi reluctantly took the spatula.
It wasn't that he didn't know how to cook; he had done it often. Precisely because of this, Feng Yi knew that with his skills, he couldn't match a housewife. The gap was just too wide.
What exactly was he doing? He came here for information, so how did it turn into this? The more Feng Yi thought about it, the more his head hurt, and he vigorously shook his head.
Reiko was taken aback for a moment and then realized the key issue, a big problem. She seemed to have misunderstood Feng Yi. She softly said, "Did I understand it wrong? I meant cooking."
"Absolutely wrong."
Reiko tilted her head, puzzled, "Then why help?"
"With my skill level, I can just be a helper. The auntie doesn't follow the conventional rules."
"Okay, that's curious. Give me the spatula then."
Feng Yi exhaled a heavy sigh!
Don't mention it. The inheritance of different thought logic truly has their own merits. Huaxia emphasizes comprehension and subtlety, while foreigners tend to be straightforward. This results in the same small matter being viewed from completely different angles.
Take dining, for example. In the Federation, when you're a guest and the host says they're keeping you for dinner, it usually means they're indirectly asking you to leave.
But abroad, keeping you for dinner has a different meaning. It's exactly these cultural differences that lead to situations like this during communication.
Feng Yi didn't want to linger for too long, but he was curious about Reiko's family situation. While having dinner, he casually voiced his curiosity, "Are you still employed with the military?"
When he asked this question, both mother and daughter froze for a moment. Reiko's mother put down her fork and said, "Since Lily left five years ago, Reiko left the military too."
"Sorry to bring up old memories."
"It's nothing. Lily was strong-willed from a young age, always seeing her sister as a target to surpass. Yet she didn't know that Reiko constantly saw her as a challenge too."
Really, life is unpredictable. To think that Reiko, who once dominated the scene, chose to retire five years ago. No wonder their family's circumstances are rather ordinary.
You should know, she was once unbeatable against Raymond, which says a lot about her strength.
Watching Reiko take small bites… Feng Yi asked, "You've always been stable. You never gave up on Mecha, right?"
"Mm."
"What's the reason?"
Reiko raised her pretty face and said after a pause, "Perhaps the Mecha is the only remaining bond between me and Lily." She wasn't sure if this was the reason, but since the moment Lily died in battle, she lost her target and also her direction.
"Such a deep bond." Feng Yi mused, "Wait, can I use her room again later?"
"Of course."
During the day, it seemed too rushed for such an ambitious girl, she would have likely left something remarkable in her notes. As for himself, he ought to be inspired, not to hastily ignore the details.
Some time later, Feng Yi reopened Lily's notes... calmly and carefully turning each page.
Ten minutes, twenty minutes, an hour…
At this moment, fully absorbed Feng Yi seemed not to be reading notes but glancing through her short life.
From childhood memories to schooling, from being second in the academic year to graduating from the military academy, from her first battle, to joining the Red Cloak elite, until the full moon high in the sky—Feng Yi finally closed his exhausted eyes—smiling with satisfaction.
Indeed, he had missed too many details, and impatience caused him to lose composure. Even now, his mindset couldn't completely align with his True Self Form, sync beyond the individual.
From the transcendence perspective, he found many intriguing aspects, but what mindset did Lily's notes on integration convey?
It seems he owed Lily a debt of gratitude. Since that's the case, why not directly ask the author?
He once decided not to involve transcendental forces in Cosmic Level events. However, it doesn't mean not intervening in the evolution of micro forms.
"Convergence."
As the transcendent forces stirred, an ancient wind swept through the room, as if it came from a distant past…
"Focus."
An electrical wave suddenly flashed through Reiko's thoughts, and for some reason, she faintly sensed her sister's presence.
"Transmute."
At that instant, the room was filled with Cosmic Particles vibrant with life.
"Form."
Whoosh…
The girl from the diary came to life, opening her vivid eyes. It seemed she still didn't grasp where she was, looking bewildered.
"Causality."
In the kitchen on the 3rd dimension's Reiko's home, Reiko suddenly remembered tomorrow was the day her sister was to recover from severe injury. Past memories suddenly blurred and vanished…
In the 4th dimension, a certain "Lily" felt physical discomfort, and her particle form silently altered…
In the 5th dimension of the universe, there was a bio-form with profound penetrative visibility. An unspoken reflection of its body suddenly projected more, akin to an additional cell.
The 9th dimension.
The 9999th dimension.
The... dimension.
The cosmic material seemed like an invisible chain, surpassing light, space, dimensions, and causality, suddenly binding Lily, her family, everything she was familiar with, and even her in higher dimensions, forming an invisible singularity of the First Law of the Universe.
In an instant, that seemingly invisible yet unbreakable chain abruptly shattered, crumbling into nothingness.
For some reason, Reiko inexplicably shed tears, and her heart suddenly ached as if she had just lost something incredibly precious, as if she had forgotten to do something important—all returned to the starting point.
She could distinctly feel the wetness on her face. Reiko started to desperately attempt to recall her thoughts from moments ago, but no matter how she tried, she couldn't sense that feeling again, but she had indeed just sensed her sister's presence.
Of course, Reiko couldn't sense that emotion because Feng Yi withdrew the Impression Sequence, also known as causality.
If causality were reversed, its influence would inevitably affect the universe event itself. As his thoughts flipped, he withdrew the Impression Sequence imposed on Lily.
As for where Lily came from, it's a headache for Feng Yi, but she was indeed the once-deceased Lily, the real Lily.
Unfortunately, this notion couldn't receive public recognition, at least not according to current human understanding. Just as water can't be fully retrieved once spilled, transcending light lacks evidence, and reversing time lacks belief.
Then, let's say she came out of a rock. Feng Yi didn't bother to explain it, considering he repaid the favor upon reading the notes. Besides, there are many things Lily needed to know, and Feng Yi had plenty to ask, which is critical for cultivation.
"You woke up."
As Lily opened her eyes, Feng Yi's voice followed into her ear.
"Is this… my room?"
Lily, with her fair and naked body, glanced around briefly, and her gaze quickly settled on Feng Yi.
