It was clearly not an easy task,

No matter if it was taking a cold shower, using cultivation to distract herself, or doing something more exciting to suppress the strange feeling within her, the effects seemed minimal. To completely adapt to this feeling without Yumo, it seemed that it would take some time,

It felt like a withdrawal.

"Really, it’s so uncomfortable!"

Out of helplessness, Mengxi forcefully clenched her fists, and the Holy energy that had been raging within her for a long time burst forth at this moment. In an instant, the bear doll in her arms became the unfortunate victim of Mengxi’s venting, directly torn apart with cotton scattering all over the floor, and the erupted silver light swept through the entire room...

The sudden noise caused the guards of the Church, who were stationed in the hotel, to reveal anxious expressions. With trepidation, they rushed toward Mengxi’s bedroom.

"Miss Mengxi! Are you alright? Is there an assassin?"

Worried, a young warrior, armed with a weapon, burst into Mengxi’s room.

The next moment,

A pair of bare, crystal-clear, and peerless beautiful legs appeared in front of the warrior, causing him to blush instantly. However, before he could react, a small foot grew larger in his eyes.

"Boom~"

Accompanied by a loud noise, the young warrior was sent flying and crashed into the wall in the distance, landing in the first floor’s lobby, foaming at the mouth and passing out...

The image he had just recorded in his mind vanished as he lost consciousness.

Although the warrior had good intentions, he obviously entered at the wrong time and almost saw something he shouldn’t have.

After putting on her robe, covering her exposed body, Mengxi couldn’t help but cast an apologetic gaze toward the spot where the warrior had fainted. At the same time, she bit her lip with a complicated expression. It seemed that this agitation not only caused her perception to decline,

Her temper also seemed to be more irritable...

Sigh,

’Fortunately, things were better during the day...’

Mengxi couldn’t help but sigh repeatedly.

At this moment, another beautiful white-haired girl wearing a sleep robe and glasses emerged from her room after hearing the commotion. She curiously entered Mengxi’s bedroom and, after glancing at the wall shattered by the young warrior, Bai Yanluo, the white-haired girl, playfully raised her eyebrows.

"What’s the matter, Mengxi? Why the outburst in the middle of the night?"

"I’m sorry, Sister Bai, I couldn’t control it very well."

"Hmm?"

Detecting the unusual tone in the silver-haired girl’s voice, Bai Yanluo curiously examined the sweaty, beautiful girl in front of her:

"Weren’t you very tired? Why can’t you sleep?"

"Not used to it."

"What are you not used to?"

"No pillow..."

"Isn’t that the bear?"

Glancing at the pitiful, torn-apart bear doll on the floor, Bai Yanluo asked puzzledly:

Upon hearing this, Mengxi decisively shook her head,

"This kind of pillow won’t work..."

"You... are you saying that the only acceptable pillow for you is that pink-haired little girl? Can’t sleep without holding her?"

As she spoke, Bai Yanluo slowly closed the door for Mengxi,

"No answer? I’ll take that as a yes."

Looking at the silent silver-haired girl in front of her, Bai Yanluo took off her glasses and sighed helplessly,

"She’s just an ordinary little girl, is it really worth all this? This time, you even went to hijack the prison carriage. You haven’t spent much time with her, right? Lately, you’ve been thinking about her all the time, can’t sleep without holding her... hmm, do you have any strange thoughts about that girl?"

Recalling Mengxi’s attitude and behavior after mentioning the pink-haired girl recently, Bai Yanluo’s words carried a some doubt,

"Strange thoughts?"

Mengxi tilted her head and asked.

"Sigh, it seems you’re not quite clear yet. It’s... hmm, it’s a bit complicated to explain... but, you can take a look at this..."

After pondering for a moment,

Bai Yanluo’s hand suddenly radiated a pure white light, and a book with rose patterns was taken out of her spatial ring and handed to Mengxi,

"You can read this book when you have time, and you’ll understand..."

"Hmm?"

Taking the book from Bai Yanluo suspiciously, Mengxi’s gaze couldn’t help but turn strange upon seeing the title and the ’adult-only’ label on the bottom right corner,

"This, ’The Secret Garden of the Noble Girls’ School’... Sister Bai, so this is the kind of book you secretly read?"

"Hey! Don’t talk nonsense! Am I that kind of person?! And... don’t look at me like that! I’m doing this to help you!"

By the way,

Maybe she could find some like-minded friends~

Bai Yanluo covered her mouth, secretly revealing a strange smile,

"If this book is discovered, don’t say it was me who gave it to you! I need to save face too~"

"Alright, got it."

After nodding slightly, Mengxi put the book into her spatial ring. Then, she looked at Bai Yanluo curiously, "Still wearing glasses? Are you busy this late? Don’t tell me you’re reading this kind of novel?"

"What are you thinking! I’m working. Besides, I’m an Eighth-stage Swordmaster, I don’t need sleep, working late at night is normal."

"Working?"

Upon hearing this, Mengxi raised her eyebrows,

Since she couldn’t sleep anyway, it might be better to talk about something else,

"What are you busy with so late at night?"

"Hmm? Are you actually interested in this? That’s quite rare, huh?"

"A bit idle, just asking."

"Fine, what else could it be? It’s about the two Apostle from before, Arella and Cabane. These two were supposed to protect you, but they mysteriously disappeared, so of course, I have to investigate."

Recalling the task assigned by the bishop, a hint of fatigue emerged in Bai Yanluo’s blue eyes,

"Any news now?"

"No."

"Are they dead?"

"Even if they’re dead, we still have to investigate. The bishop’s instructions were to find them alive or their bodies if dead. However, Cabane is indeed dead, his soul orb shattered. The problem is that Arella is still alive. But her soul orb’s state is very strange."

"Strange?"

"Yes..."

At this point, Bai Yanluo’s eyes gradually revealed a look of seriousness and puzzlement, "Arella’s soul power now becomes incredibly strong at times and then incredibly weak. It’s really bizarre. You know, there’s only one situation where such an eerie soul fluctuation would occur..."

"What situation?"

"Women, um, during childbirth..."

"What?"

Mengxi also showed a puzzled look,

"But that kind of situation..."

"Sigh, Arella’s promiscuous private life, having an illegitimate child wouldn’t be surprising. But after giving birth, things should have settled down. Why is it so fluctuating? It’s really strange..."

On the other side,

In the depths of the Icebound Lake in the central part of the Winter Forest,

Accompanied by the painful moans of a woman, a beautiful blue-haired girl named Shuoyue slowly crossed the freezing water, surrounded by blue-gold light, and entered an underwater cave. Floating in mid-air and looking at the scene below, Shuoyue revealed a satisfied smile,

"It hatched~"

Below, countless wriggling bluish-white "liquid" continuously moved, and chilling roars could be heard from time to time.

Anyone with a fear of clusters would likely want to destroy their eyes immediately...

Upon closer inspection, one would find that this wriggling bluish-white liquid was actually composed of countless abyssal demons with long tails, sharp claws, and no eyes. And to some extent, the heads of these abyssal demons were quite similar to humans...

In the next moment, after a ripple of blue-gold light, dozens of giant dead beasts appeared beside Shuoyue,

Then,

She directly threw these beasts into the sea of abyssal demons below,

In an instant,

The sea boiled, and the starving little creatures rushed up. The dozens of giant beasts were quickly reduced to bare bones, and even these bones gradually disappeared as the abyssal demons devoured them...

Witnessing this scene, Shuoyue’s smile on her face became even brighter,

Radiant, yet with a touch of cruelty,

’Hehe, grow up quickly, my little darlings~’
