However, Violet Bennett once again gently embraced him, smiling as she said, "You are my little brother, my only brother. What's there to fear about crying on me?" She sighed softly and continued, "It's all my fault as your sister. In order to complete the task assigned by the city lord, I ventured deep into the swamp and only found a way out after half a year. These six months... you have suffered."

Logan Bennett shook his head repeatedly, reaching out to hold her tightly, his heart filled with contentment.

After a long while, Violet Bennett reached out and gently pulled him up, a hint of pride appearing on her face as she said, "Little brother, look, what is this?" With a flick of her wrist, she produced a porcelain bottle. As she gently opened the lid, a fragrant aroma immediately wafted out.

Logan Bennett blinked his eyes. Although he knew this item must be extremely precious, he had no idea what it was.

Violet Bennett smiled and said, "Little brother, do you still remember why you can't cultivate star force?"

Logan Bennett was taken aback, and countless memories instantly flooded his mind.

In this strange world, only those who could cultivate star force were respected by others. Violet Bennett had shown talent in this area since childhood, which was why she, as a woman, could support the family. Although he had also longed for star force as a child, his meridians were congenitally blocked, making it impossible for star force to flow, let alone accumulate or settle.

Of course, this problem was not unsolvable. But even thinking with one's toes, it was clear that this would not be easy.

Countless thoughts spun through his mind, and Logan Bennett asked in a trembling voice, "Is this, could it be the Star Marrow Pill?"

Violet Bennett clapped her hands and laughed, "Little brother, you really are smart, you guessed it right away." She brought the pill to Logan Bennett's lips, smiling as she said, "Little brother, this is yours."

Logan Bennett took a deep breath, feeling his whole body trembling because of it. His face flushed bright red. After his rebirth, although he had gained a new body, the problem was that sometimes this body just wouldn't cooperate.

"Little brother, haven't you always longed to cultivate star force? What are you hesitating for?" Logan Bennett urged.

Logan Bennett's heart stirred. He suddenly looked up and said, "Sister, how did you get this pill?"

Seeing her little brother's serious and somewhat unfamiliar gaze, Violet Bennett was stunned for a moment before smiling, "Don't worry, your sister did a great deed for the city lord, and this was a reward from the lord."

Logan Bennett immediately understood. His sister had ventured deep into the swamp for a reason. Most likely, the city lord had made some promise, prompting her to risk her life searching for some treasure.

This pill was actually something his sister had exchanged her life for.

Violet Bennett looked at her little brother's ever-changing expression, and for some reason, she felt a faint unease in her heart.

"Little brother." She gently pushed him and urged him softly.

Logan Bennett raised his head, took the pill, and swallowed it without hesitation. At that moment, his gaze was resolute as he said firmly, "Sister, you have always protected me. From now on, it's my turn to protect you."

"Ah." Violet Bennett opened her mouth in surprise, her eyes filled with both joy and bewilderment, half gratified, half lost. It was hard to describe her expression.

However, she was not an ordinary person. In just a moment, she had composed herself and smiled, "Alright, little brother, you've grown up. From now on, your sister will have to rely on you to take care of her."

Logan Bennett nodded gently. Although his sister's tone was still mostly teasing, he made a vow in his heart that he would fulfill his promise in the future. Of course, for now, he was not strong enough, so there was no need to say more.

After swallowing the pill, at first he felt nothing, but after just a moment, a warm current rose in his chest and abdomen. This warmth was not strong, but it spread everywhere, as if it could flow into every corner of his body, not missing even the slightest bit.

Gradually, his complexion began to look rosy, and even his whole body seemed to be turning slightly red.

A look of joy appeared on Violet Bennett's face. She said softly, "Little brother, the pill is about to take effect. Have a good sleep. Once you wake up, your meridians will be open, and you'll be able to cultivate star force from now on."

Logan Bennett managed to nod, then, dizzy and dazed, he fell unconscious.

Violet Bennett gazed at him deeply and reluctantly for a long while before finally getting up and leaving the room.

Outside the door, Chad Sullivan had already been waiting for a long time. Seeing Violet Bennett's slightly haggard face, he said with a pained expression, "Ziyuan, little brother Linghe has already taken the Star Marrow Pill. You don't need to worry anymore."

Violet Bennett gave a bitter smile and said, "Brother Sullivan, you should understand, although little brother has taken the Star Marrow Pill and his meridians may be opened, he still can't compare to those born with open meridians. Sigh, if he finds that his progress is much slower than others after he starts cultivating star force, he might be even more heartbroken." She pursed her lips slightly and said, "Sometimes I think, maybe it would be better for him to just live an ordinary life."

Chad Sullivan gave a bitter smile. This was not something he could console her about.

Violet Bennett sighed for a moment, then left directly. Chad Sullivan, after much hesitation, also took Mr. Foster and left.
