"Elinor, where have you been this time?!" Empress Renara shot up from her throne the moment she saw her sister enter, her voice sharp and trembling. "No one has seen you for three thousand years!!"
"Hehe~ I had a very deeeep cultivation session, sister~" Elinor spun gracefully, her movements light as if flaunting her form. "Do you notice? My cultivation has solidified and advancing, my blood has grown even more denser!"
Renara, who had begun stepping toward her, froze in place. Her expression darkened at once. "Your clothes… they've become far more revealing as well. And your aura… it's grown unbearably foul!"
"Who cares about such things~" Elinor walked closer, patting her sister's shoulder with casual familiarity. Her eyes were barely half-open, her lips painted deep with crimson. "I speak of power and blood density, and you still babble about aura? Hehe, as always, my elder sister… just a little foolish."
