3 chapters to end this volume :)

--------------------------------------------

After giving instructions to the Black Rose family, Qiu Mingtong slowly walked to Yumo’s side, her huge hammer gradually being withdrawn back into her spatial ring.

As one of the orphans raised by Yumo,

Qiu Mingtong naturally had a great affection for Yumo, and always felt at ease whenever she was by her side. However, this time, after arriving at Yumo’s side, Qiu Mingtong couldn’t help but frown, a trace of displeasure surfacing in her pale golden eyes.

Of course, it was impossible for Yumo to be the cause of her displeasure, but rather the silver-haired girl she held in her arms...

The Girl of Destiny,

Or perhaps the ’heroine’...

According to the prophecy of the Asumos religion, she is one of the chosen ones who will eventually defeat Lady Yumo and destroy the Demon Temple, and the biggest target for the Black Rose family to eliminate!

If Lady Yumo was holding Limu, Liyu, or any other orphan in her arms, Qiu Mingtong could accept it and wouldn’t feel any jealousy. But Lady Yumo was holding the Girl of Destiny?!

’Damn it...’

The girl couldn’t help but curse in her heart,

She could never understand,

Why was Lady Yumo so friendly to an enemy? After all, this person would ultimately bring about her destruction! Or was it that Lady Yumo really wanted to seek death? Judging from her daily attitude, she didn’t seem like a person - or palace - with nothing to live for!

Why would she want to nurture the Girl of Destiny?

’Why should someone who will harm her in the future be allowed to stay in her arms?!’

Thinking of this, Qiu Mingtong’s gaze toward Mengxi grew even colder.

In fact,

As for why Yumo wanted to seek death, the Black Rose family and other Demon kings had held numerous meetings and discussions. Unfortunately, after multiple discussions, nothing came of it. Every member of the Black Rose family and even each Demon king tried various methods to get information from Yumo.

However, Yumo, who was usually very easy to talk to, would mysteriously become especially clever when faced with this issue...

They couldn’t get anything out of her...

Even when sincerely asking, Yumo wouldn’t answer, as if there was some unspeakable secret.

Under normal circumstances, the Black Rose family and other Demon King beings should follow Yumo’s wishes, cultivate the protagonist group, and help them eliminate Yumo. However, they just couldn’t bring themselves to do so for such a gentle person...

In the end, they had no choice but to resort to outward compliance and inner resistance.

Before these chosen ones could threaten Yumo’s life, they must eliminate all these beasts! That way, even if Yumo wanted to die, she wouldn’t be able to.

That was their plan,

However,

There are always unforeseen circumstances,

How did this damn Girl of Destiny mysteriously end up by lady Yumo’s side?! Now it’s too difficult to make a move!!!

Qiu Mingtong couldn’t help but clench her fists, roaring in her heart.

"Hmm?"

As Qiu Mingtong gritted her teeth, her sharp gaze seemed to make Yumo feel slightly uncomfortable. Subsequently, she slowly turned her head, revealing a puzzled expression.

"What’s wrong, little tong?"

"Nothing, lady Yumo!"

The moment Yumo turned her head, Qiu Mingtong immediately concealed the coldness and hostility in her eyes, returning to her usual expressionless loli state. With a respectful smile, she responded to Yumo’s gaze.

As a member of the Black Rose family, especially those who would come into contact with Yumo, everyone must undergo a year and a half of rigorous training under the ’Nightingale organization and Mr. Sebastian before going to see Lady Yumo in the Winter Forest.

Training in acting skills.

That’s right,

Body language, psychological quality, micro-expressions, eye movement, and so on, all require very strict training. Only those who pass the training can go to see lady Yumo. After all, we must never let Lady Yumo know about the things we do in private! When Mr. Sebastian first went to find Limu and Liyu, he also used the excuse of going out to play and crazily training in acting skills.

By the way,

Because Lady Limu’s acting skills were not up to par, they didn’t inform her about many of their actions later...

After all, they were afraid of being exposed...

Once exposed, everyone would be done for.

’Oh,’

’Right,’

In fact, after Lady Yumo’s transformation, Mr. Sebastian gave her a "Complete Acting Encyclopedia." However, this book had some loopholes secretly left by Sebastian, making it easier for us to read some information from Lady Yumo’s expressions later...

To be honest, Qiu Mingtong thought,

Once discovered, Mr. Sebastian probably couldn’t escape a round of "feather duster" loving care.

...

In short, due to professional training,

Qiu Mingtong’s expressions were impeccable, and Yumo didn’t notice anything wrong. She continued to use the ’Tears of Nature’ to help the Girl of Destiny treat some serious wounds. Qiu Mingtong was quite unhappy, but she didn’t show it.

"Speaking of which, my lady."

"What is it?"

"What was that golden light that Miss Mengxi just released? The same light that initially repelled Wilt?"

"That? It’s called Divine Body Protection. It seems to be a power bestowed by the goddess and stored in the bodies of the chosen ones to protect them. However, it looks like it can only be used once in the short term."

Recalling the dazzling golden light from before, Yumo truthfully replied.

For a trustworthy childlike Qiu mingling, Yumo had no intention of concealing anything.

"Oh, I see."

After getting Yumo’s answer, Qiu Mingtong thoughtfully rested her hand on her chin, and a hint of seriousness flashed imperceptibly in her cute pale gold eyes.

’Divine Body Protection, huh?’

’The girl of Destiny from thirteen years ago didn’t have this...’

’Is it unique to this Girl of Destiny?’

’In any case, the golden light is extremely powerful, capable of severely injuring an eighth-level being in an instant.’

’I must inform the Duke as soon as possible.’

’The plan needs a slight adjustment...’

Just as Qiu Mingtong was pondering,

A sudden event occurred that thrilled her!

What is this?!

"Mengxi?!"

With Yumo’s exclamation, the silver-haired girl in her arms suddenly shuddered, and the next instant, a mouthful of blood sprayed out, staining Yumo’s black dress. Golden cracks emerged on Mengxi’s skin, and as the cracks appeared, bright red blood constantly burst out...

In an instant,

Mengxi, who had just been cleaned up by Yumo, turned back into a bloodied figure.

"What... what’s going on?! Mengxi?!"

A deep sense of unease and worry emerged in Yumo’s crimson eyes,

"What... what’s happening? Is this... backlash? Divine power backlash?!"

Looking at the suffering girl, Yumo couldn’t help but bite her lip tightly.

Qiu Mingtong beside her also showed a shocked and panicked expression,

"Divine power backlash?! What... what should we do?!"

’Great!’

’That’s right! Die from the backlash, go die hahaha!!’

Qiu Mingtong roared inside her heart.

Of course, as a professional actor trained by the ’Nightingale organization, Qiu Mingtong was thrilled inside, but on the surface, she still appeared worried, not showing the slightest urge to celebrate...

Pretending to be uneasy, Qiu Mingtong hurriedly took out various potions from her spatial ring,

"lady Yumo, can these potions be used?!"

"No, these potions are useless for this kind of backlash."

"Then... what should we do? Divine power backlash is not comparable to magical power backlash! Severe magical power backlash can be life-threatening, let alone divine power..." Hurry up and kill her!

Saying this, Qiu Mingtong lowered her head somewhat ’helplessly’,

"Without a large amount of power from the same origin, it’s difficult to resist. But, we don’t know Holy magic, and the heroes of the Asumos Church are nowhere to be found."

Looking at the silver-haired girl who was constantly trembling in pain, Qiu mingtong shook her head helplessly,

"Without the power of the same origin, there’s basically no hope in this bloody state, and the process is extremely painful. Lady Yumo, should we...?"

However,

Just as Qiu Mingtong was considering popping champagne, Yumo directly interrupted her words,

"No, there is a way."

"Hmm? A way?"

Hearing Yumo’s response, Qiu Mingtong was slightly startled, looking at the black-haired girl in front of her somewhat at a loss,

"lady Yumo, but... we don’t have the power of the same origin, and it’s too late to find it now, isn’t it?"

"No need to look, there’s already one available."

"Hmm??"

And in the next moment,

Under Qiu Mingtong’s astonished gaze, Yumo slowly extended her index finger. A powerful, dense, but extremely stable power of Shadow gathered at her fingertip. Then, Yumo pressed her finger against the silver-haired girl’s forehead...

Qiu Mingtong:" What... what is this?"

’fu@k!’
