Chapter 946: Chapter 63: The Silver-Haired Girl Without Silver Hair
Two girls stood facing each other, separated by seven or eight dining tables. Although due to different living environments, one had an exceptionally pale complexion while the other was tanned by the sun, there were no other differences between them. Both had bald heads, equally stunning features, and similar crescent-shaped scars on their foreheads. If one disregarded their skin tones, it would be difficult to tell them apart. Now, the identical ladies gazed at each other from afar for a moment, then slowly approached. After coming together, they both touched each other’s bald heads and then their scars—one old and one new—and suddenly burst into laughter, shaking their heads helplessly.
"I should have known," Lina said, tenderly touching her sister’s forehead with a sigh. "You of all people would do something silly like this, despite being prettier than me. It’s such a pity that you added such an ugly scar."
"You’re the last one who has the right to criticize me," Betty retorted, slapping her sister’s scarred scalp. "It’s obvious you cut it yourself and injured yourself so many times. You used to be so afraid of pain when you were young. If you were still like that, you’d probably be crying with swollen eyes from all these cuts. Besides, your hair was so beautiful, you’ve grown it out since you were little, and it’s been over 20 years. Now it’s all gone; it breaks my heart just to see it."
"Hehe, then let’s not criticize each other anymore," Lina laughed foolishly, as if she had encountered the happiest thing. "Isn’t this great? We look even more alike now, right?"
"Not at all," Betty said, putting on a sisterly air, pinching Lina’s face. "Are you such an idiot that you were worried I’d be jealous of your hair, that you’d do something like this?"
"Hmph, following your logic, do you also think I’d be jealous of your looks?" Lina wiggled out of her sister’s "magic hand" and rolled her eyes. "You know very well that I think the same way you do. Since they once caused unfortunate consequences, it’s best to just get rid of them. That way, there’ll be no barriers between us sisters, no more parting from each other either."
"I don’t want to have to look at a reflective bald head in front of me all the time," Betty said, pouting. "It’s really too dazzling."
"Then the first thing you should do is smash all the mirrors within sight, otherwise, your eyes will be dazzled wherever you go," Lina argued back unyieldingly, beginning to bicker with her sister. "And what about me? Isn’t that even more blinding?"
"Cough, cough, cough, cough." Archbishop Cain, who was stroking his beard and smilingly watching the two sisters getting along—heaven forbid?—nearly choked on his own saliva. After a fit of coughing, he said with a wry smile while touching his shiny head, "Um, mine fell out naturally due to old age, it’s different from yours. Please, don’t let your sisterly spat spill over onto the innocent."
"Hmph, I don’t care," Lina said, turning her head away with a huff. "In any case, I want to be just like you, sister."
"I’ll start growing my hair out again from tomorrow, hmph." Betty also harrumphed, "After leaving the Ascetic Order to resume my studies, the archbishop grandfather’s intention was for me to let my hair grow out again, as a preparation for the future. So, regardless of what you think, I don’t care if you want to keep it this way, but I am going to start growing my hair out starting tomorrow, you decide for yourself about your own hair."
"Then I’ll grow mine out too." Lina immediately grew anxious and said huffily, "What’s so difficult about that?"
"You two are really strange, starting a quarrel over such a trivial thing. It’s just some hair, isn’t it? We shed loads of it every year, what’s there to fuss about?" Clearly, such a remark could only come from the Light and Dark Twins who had followed behind Pannis and the others to join in the commotion. The Winged people sisters unfolded their wings at the same time, and sure enough, just as they said, a few black and white feathers fluttered down from their spread wings. The twins said proudly, "See, isn’t this normal? We even use the feathers to make hats every year, and pillows too, they’re so comfortable to sleep on."
"Two idiots." The weird Big Dog, who could speak the common tongue, surprised all the young apprentices present who had not seen much of the world, leaving them with their mouths agape. The scorpion-tailed lion, Dillie, now reduced to the size of a domestic dog, shook its barbed tail and said mockingly, "Not only do you molt feathers seasonally like birds, has your brain also shrunk to the size of a bird’s? They’re arguing about hair, and you’re talking about feathers, truly a pair of dunces."
"Sigh." Pannis sighed, reaching out to hold back the twins who were rushing over to tussle with Dillie, and said helplessly, "You two stop it, this is the Holy Sanctuary, and there are so many people watching. Do you really want to end up like yesterday when you tore down half of the decorations in someone’s house?"
"Headache, isn’t it?" Catherine leaned in and whispered to Pannis, "I actually feel quite pleased because for these past two years, I’ve endured a similar headache every day. Finally, it’s your turn, hmph, serves you right."
"Cough cough." Archbishop Cain coughed a few times again and gestured to the two ladies who were still bickering, "We have quite an audience here, you two should stop quarreling for now. The matter about hair can be discussed later, come here, Lina, are these people your friends? Don’t you want to introduce everyone?"
"They are all members of my adventure team family." It was only then that Lina came to her senses, pulling along her sister to stand before the group and beginning to introduce each one of them to her sister and everyone present. As for the Winged people twins and the scorpion-tailed lion Dillie, their distinct features made introductions unnecessary. It was only after she had introduced the other five members of her adventure team that the priestess girl smiled and said, "Over these years, they have all been supporting me from behind. Without them, there wouldn’t be a ’me’ today."
Betty’s expression shifted subtly. During the private conversation she had with Lina in the room earlier, Lina had often mentioned these partners, repeatedly talking about their support and encouragement. This filled Betty’s heart with gratitude. Thus, as soon as Lina had finished introducing the last person, Pannis, Betty pulled her sister over, bowed earnestly to the five individuals, and said sincerely, "Losing each other would be like losing half of our souls, incomplete forever. But your help is equivalent to saving two incomplete souls, allowing them to recover. I’ve practiced asceticism for many years, so I’m not good with words now and can’t express my feelings with flowery language, but I hope you know that my gratitude towards you comes from the heart and will never fade."(To be continued.
