Abyssal Chronicles

Chapter 301 - 302: The Daughter’s Dilemma part (1) [1/2]

"I must use it carefully in the future; otherwise... the curse’s effect might become Dangerous..."

With these thoughts, Xiao turned his head and looked at the demonic spear beside him, in its "ferocious" state.

This demonic spear was originally the weapon of the former king of the demons and possessed sentience. The power contained within the spear was not to be underestimated, and after being infused with Lady Yumo’s blood, its power became even more intense.

’After liberating the power of the demonic spear, my strength increased substantially. As far as I know, there were probably only a few people like Pierre who can fight me in this state. However, while using this power, the horrifying curse within the demonic spear would also affect my body, causing numerous side effects...’

But, in order to complete the mission, Xiao resolutely decided to use this power.

"Afterward, Lady Yumo will probably scold me for not taking care of my body..."

Imagining the black-haired girl getting angry at him, Xiao shook his head helplessly.

Then, a pure black light flickered in Xiao’s eyes, and with the surge of demonic power within him, the agonizing screams emanating from the bloodied mouth of the demonic spear, abruptly ceased. The violent aura surrounding the spear gradually dissipated.

The entire spear seemed to be enveloped in irresistible drowsiness, quickly losing its desire for slaughter. The azure demonic eyes slowly closed, and the ferocious blood-stained jaws transformed into countless black demonic particles, dissipating into the air.

Soon, the demonic spear returned to its usual staff-like form.

As the power of the demonic spear was once again locked away, Xiao’s beautiful gray hair and deep blue eyes gradually returned to their original pure black color, and the strange feminine aura around him dissipated.

Xiao stretched his body lazily.

At that moment, a slightly teasing but joyful voice reached Xiao’s ears:

"If Mommy discovers that you’ve unleashed the power of the demonic spear, she will definitely scold you once more,"

"Mhm."

Hearing this, Xiao slowly turned his head to look behind him. There, instead of the two imposing Abyssal Demons that stood there before, stood a delicately carved, beautiful gray-haired girl.

And this gray-haired girl was none other than Liyu.

Influenced by Yumo’s mannerisms, Liyu preferred to move in a human form rather than maintain her beast form.

After confirming that Xue Tianao’s presence had completely disappeared, Liyu reverted to her human form.

After finding a piece of clothing to cover her exposed tender body, Liyu approached Xiao from behind. In Liyu’s embrace was the joyfully wagging head of our silly little white wolf friend, Limo.

Unlike her sister, Limo still preferred a ’wilder’ posture. Therefore, when Yumo was absent, Limo chose to maintain her beast form and quietly allowed herself to be held by her sister, enjoying the pleasure of successfully dealing with the Chosen One, while also relishing her sister’s caresses.

On her furry little face, a blissful smile bloomed, occasionally accompanied by adorable meowing sounds~

Looking at the two sisters who had fought side by side with him just now, Xiao smiled faintly, shaking his head with a sense of relief. After all, he had already pondered over this question just now.

"Liyu, you don’t need to tease me like this."

"Hmm? How is it teasing? I’m just worried about my companion~"

With Yumo absent and her heart filled with excitement, Liyu unintentionally revealed a mischievous smile, as if her hidden little demon nature, suppressed for so long under the pressure of the situation, was starting to resurface.

"You didn’t forget, did you? You made a promise to Mother not to use this power recklessly, remember?"

"Meow!" (That’s right~)

The little white wolf in Liyu’s embrace chimed in as well.

Helplessly, Xiao smiled:

"Come on, I was forced to use it, wasn’t that Chosen One too strong? Besides, Liyu, you don’t have to worry about me for now. You should worry about yourself."

"Hmm? Myself?"

"You and Lady Limo sneaking out of the Great Forest and coming to the palace like this, have you considered how to explain it to Lady Yumo? You know that she has repeatedly warned you not to approach the Chosen Ones. If I use the power of the demonic spear, the worst I’ll face is a scolding. But your unauthorized actions, I believe, won’t be as simple as just a scolding."

"Uh..."

Upon hearing this, the playful expression on Liyu’s face disappeared. She stood motionless, as if struck by lightning, and her previously joyful composure returned normal. Liyu anxiously bit her small lips.

’Xiao is right...’

’Not only did we keep it a secret from Mommy and sneak out of the house without permission, but we also came to the imperial palace and even joined forces to attack Xue Tianao, which Mommy had noticed...’

’Um, well...’

Unexpectedly, it appears that there will be consequences...

For a moment, Liyu instinctively and somewhat nervously covered her little butt...

Limo: "??? Meow???"

"Um, Mom..."

Liyu pouted, while her face displayed a mix of confusion and anxiety.

According to the original plan, Xue Tianao was supposed to be eliminated by Xiao alone. However, considering that the Child of Destiney might have many tricks up their sleeve, Xiao had made a few backup plans before executing the mission.

One of those plans involved both Limo and Liyu joining forces to beat up Xue Tianao.

Naturally, they were more than willing to have a chance to thrash Xue Tianao and eliminate this threat to their mother. But along with their eagerness came hesitation.

Regardless of the circumstances, because the power of divinity would greatly stimulate the ferocity of the Abyssal Demon, potentially triggering a hysterical attack beyond control, Yumo had long ago instructed Liyu and the other children not to take action against the Chosen One on their own.

When informing their mother about the plan, they only mentioned that Xiao would personally handle it.

Although their mother usually appeared cute, incredibly gentle, and easy to talk to, she really disliked having to repeat herself.

If she had said something multiple times and you still didn’t listen, then she wouldn’t show any mercy.

Just like what happened to their second brother, who kept getting into fights, and to Limo, who constantly craved the heroes as food...

Afterward, their butts were as red as a tomato!

Liyu was well aware of this fact. However, just now, after Xue Tianao summoned two peak Divine Tier alchemical puppets, Liyu still decisively rushed forward.

After all, in her opinion, if she could successfully eliminate this existence that threatened her mother’s life, what did it matter even if her butt turned into a flower?

And so, Liyu unleashed her Shadow power, transforming into the form of the "Deathwing" and charged into the battlefield.

From the outcome, Xue Tianao was defeated.

Their objective was achieved.

However, as the mission came to an end and Liyu listened to Xiao’s words, a wave of uneasiness washed over her once more. Despite her earlier boldness, confidently proclaiming that she had no fear of "death," the realization of potentially facing the repercussions of her impulsive actions caused Liyu to feel a surge of unease deep within her.
