"You’re the goddess sister!"

"Goddess?"

Yumo frowned slightly, after all, she was at most considered a Demon lord.

She had nothing to do with a goddess...

However,

Yuan’er didn’t notice Yumo’s expression at this moment. The pink-haired girl was now excited and elated! She was completely thrilled, even forgetting the burning pain on her bottom caused by the feather duster!

The girl’s entire attention was focused on Yumo’s stunningly beautiful face.

Although her vision was blurry at the time of her near-death experience, Yuan’er still clearly remembered the enchanting and bizarre crimson eyes and the graceful figure’s shadow. Now seeing Yumo again and hearing the familiar voice, the image of her savior in Yuan’er’s mind gradually overlapped with Yumo.

In an instant, a mixture of admiration and awe surged from Yuan’er’s heart, after all, it was this woman in front of her who had saved her from the brink of death!

"Are you the goddess sister who saved me back then?!"

Just like that,

Yuan’er looked at Yumo with great anticipation, her red and blue heterochromatic eyes filled with excitement. The previous wronged expression and brutal bloodthirst seemed to have vanished in this moment. If one ignored the terrifying black energy wrapped around Yuan’er’s body, she would be no different from an innocent and adorable little girl.

However,

Facing Yuan’er’s expectant gaze, Yumo could only helplessly put her hand on her forehead.

"Enmm, how should I put it? I’m not really a goddess. And don’t call me sister; it’ll mess up our relationship..."

"Hmm?"

Hearing this, Yuan’er couldn’t help but frown, showing a puzzled expression.

"If I don’t call you sister, what should I call you?"

"Well..."

Yumo was momentarily at a loss for words, holding her chin and silently staring at the girl in front of her.

Under normal circumstances, Yuan’er, who had received her own essence blood and was reborn under her power, could be considered her child. She should call her ’mother’ like Limo and Liyu. However, unlike those ’wild’ children, Yuan’er was a human, with her own parents and human values. If she suddenly asked her to call herself ’mother’, would she resist?

Considering the child’s feelings, Yumo decided to explain the situation to her first.

So,

Yumo slowly floated in front of Yuan’er and gently rubbed her little face.

In response,

Yuan’er closed her eyes contentedly.

Originally, as the daughter of a marquis family, Yuan’er was extremely repulsed by the idea of a stranger touching her. However, she didn’t feel any disgust when Yumo caressed her, and even a sense of enjoyment emerged from deep within her heart.

Moreover, being close to Yumo made her feel incredibly comfortable.

Unconsciously, Yuan’er showed a cute and enjoyable expression.

Seeing this, Yumo smiled slightly.

"Never mind, I’ll explain the titles to you later."

Saying this,

Yumo pointed at the black energy on Yuan’er’s body and the countless blood-red butterflies surrounding them nearby.

"So, first, do you know what’s going on right now? Do you know what’s happening to you?"

There was a hint of trepidation in Yumo’s words.

After all, for humans, the abyssal demons were the enemies of all creatures and the source of chaos in the world. Yuan’er was born into the Marquis family, which resisted the abyssal demons, so such a child should be full of hatred for them. If she knew that she had turned into the creature she hated the most, what would her reaction be?

Upon hearing Yumo’s words,

Yuan’er blinked in confusion, then followed Yumo’s direction, looking at the scene beside her and the black energy on her body.

In an instant,

The previously excited little girl’s face suddenly showed shock and fear!

"Eh?! Why are there so many butterflies?!"

"This, what is this black energy on me?! It’s disgusting!"

"Wait?! Am I, am I flying?!"

"I clearly couldn’t fly!"

After realizing this, Yuan’er’s heterochromatic eyes were instantly filled with confusion! When she realized she couldn’t fly but was floating in mid-air, the girl became flustered and struggled wildly. The next moment, the black shadow power around her collapsed.

Yuan’er, who was suspended in mid-air, just ’slurped~’ and went into a free fall.

"Ah ah ah ah ah!! Goddess sister, save me!!"

Yumo:"..."

At this moment, Yumo’s eyebrows twitched involuntarily, and she even raised her hand to her forehead.

’This child,’

’It seemed she is…. ,’

’ a bit...stupid.’

While sighing, Yumo couldn’t help but glance down with the corner of her eye, only to see Yuan’er still wailing and falling straight down without any sign of floating upwards...

’Never mind...’

Yumo shook her head helplessly.

Although the body strength of a demon king wouldn’t be injured even if they fell from a high altitude, the unfortunate one would be Mother Earth. However, Yuan’er probably didn’t know any of this, so it wasn’t appropriate to let her fall like this. It was strange, she was just so capable of fighting earlier, but now that she had regained her senses, she couldn’t even fly...

The helpless Yumo waved her hand, and dozens of blood butterflies suddenly flew to Yuan’er’s side, dragging the wailing and howling girl back into mid-air.

"Ah ah ah ah ah ah!! Goddess sister, it’s, it’s, it’s so scary!! Why, why am I in the air?! Wuu wuu wuu wuu!"

"Alright, alright, calm down... It was you who flew up here!"

"Me? I’m clearly only at the third rank; it’s impossible for me to fly. Isn’t flying something only seventh-tire experts can do?"

Hearing Yumo’s words, Yuan’er’s little face was full of confusion.

"So, you’ve been reborn now, completely different from before. Now, you can fly."

"No, that’s impossible, how can I..."

"Stop arguing and do as I say. Use your will to manipulate the black light around you, alright?"

"Black light?"

"Yes, those are your powers, a part of your body. Close your eyes, feel their presence, try to connect with them, and then, let these lights attach to your body, lifting it up..."

...

...

Under Yumo’s careful guidance, Yuan’er managed to hover in mid-air, surrounded by the black light!

Seeing this, Yumo revealed a satisfied smile.

"See? You can fly now."

"Really! I, I can fly! That’s amazing!"

In an instant, Yuan’er showed an innocent and lovely smile, excitedly dancing in the sky like a child with a new toy. Her bright smile made Yumo feel at ease.

"Goddess sister! Did I become a saint-level expert?! Wow, I can really fly?!"

"Well, not just a saint-level, actually..."

"Eh? But, what is this black light?"

As she played, Yuan’er curiously looked at the black energy rippling around her.

"And the feeling of black energy? It’s strange. It’s comfortable but doesn’t seem like magic power. Also, goddess sister, what do you mean by more than saint-level?"

"Well, that’s a long story, and you should be prepared mentally. Because strictly speaking, you’re no longer human now... Huh??"

"Human?"

However,

Just as Yumo was about to explain, a special energy fluctuation and information from the blood butterflies suddenly entered her mind, causing her eyebrows to furrow and her face to show displeasure.

"What’s wrong, goddess sister?"

Noticing the black-haired girl’s change in expression, Yuan’er asked confusedly.

Hearing Yuan’er’s slight unease,

Yumo smiled and patted Yuan’er’s head.

"It’s nothing, don’t worry. First, follow what I taught you and go back to the ground. Then, find a place to hide, and don’t come out recklessly. I’ll deal with something and then come find you..."
