Chapter 505: Family ties (1/2)
”Impossible...”
While initially, it was the girl that was backing out from me, when I finally saw her face, it was my body that instinctively dashed a few steps away. All the possible meanings behind what I just saw were too hold for me to handle.
”What's wrong?!”
Seeing how I backed out, despite just forcing her to come out, the girl in front of me started to panic.
I just managed to round her up to use her knowledge to my advantage. Yet, the second she revealed herself, my attitude changed completely. It was given that she would be startled by this sudden change!
”What's your name? Or rather... What's your father's name?!”
Recollecting my wits back, I stopped my retreat and stood my ground. Looking at the girl's face again, I confirmed that this wasn't just a fleeting feeling.
The colour of her hair was way more saturated, being closer to the golden blond instead to the platinum one. But looking at her eyes, her ears, her delicate lips...
The more I looked I her, the more convinced I was about a single thing!
This girl was an almost one-to-one copy of a less refined version of Eve!
”My father's... I'm sorry, but my father died before I was born. I grew up with my mother and brother alone. If you claim to have killed everyone in the ancestral grounds, then outside of my mother back in the provincial capital, only I'm left alive in my family!”
As she spoke those words, the girl in front of me clenched her fists, as if trying her best not to let the notion of her brother's death shake her in such a dangerous situation.
But how the heck could that be?
Even if her words about her father were a lie, just from how she spoke about provincial capital or something, it was evident that she was from the continent!
Despite never visiting it yet, the few lines I read in the manual a moment ago, were enough to confirm that said continent had nothing to do with the first cultivation land that I reincarnated in!
But if that was the case, how could her father share the same blood as Eve's father?! Was it all just a coincidence? After all, I have yet to find out how vast and how populated this world was. Still, going by the cliche developments of all sorts of cultivation novels I read, there was a massive chance that this world was far more populated than the earth!
”Okay, forget about it. It's not like I can figure this out right now...”
