Chapter 323 - 324: Little Sister Yuan’er [6/6]

Facing her mother’s slightly ’threatening’ gaze, the not-so-smart Limo becomes totally confused. The little white wolf held in Yumo’s grip can only continuously wave its four fluffy paws and emit a pitiful sound of "woof woof woof".

Clearly, our Limo is struggling, wondering whether to listen to her mother or to keep her promise with her sister. But no matter what, the sight of Limo resisting inevitably falls into Yumo’s eyes, making the black-haired girl feel increasingly puzzled, strongly wanting Limo to transform back into human form.

At the same time, seeing her sister Limo being held by their mother makes Liyu’s heart nearly stop. She’s anxious but powerless to stop their mother, so she can only pray silently that Limo can somehow adapt.

However, the possibility of this happening seems rather low. For a moment, Liyu can almost foresee her own punishment, thinking, ’This time, I’ll probably have to stay in bed for a week...’

But just then, as Yumo is holding Limo’s face, trying to get her to transform back, she pauses, her eyebrows suddenly raised. At the same time, sensing something, Liyu also pauses, her emerald eyes narrowing.

’Hmm? What’s this presence?’

The next moment, a voice like that of a little girl, clear and melodious as a lark, floats into everyone’s ears from the entrance of the tent,

"Um... can I come in... mom?"

’This voice?’

Following the voice and presence, Liyu curiously looks toward the tent entrance. There she sees a doll-like girl with pink hair, dressed in a black and white lace dress, sporting twin tails. This girl is adorably peeking her head out of the tent with some hesitation.

She blinks her sparkling eyes of different colors, red and blue, looking a little nervous as she gazes at the ’people’ inside the tent, seemingly questioning whether it’s the right time for her to appear.

’this girl? Yuan’er?! Why did she suddenly come here?’’

Seeing her younger sister who ’ran away from home’ a few days ago, Liyu reveals a puzzled look. In her confusion, she also shows a hint of alertness. After all, in Liyu’s eyes, although Yuan’er is their sister and their mother’s child, she is a human who may still bear the human hostility toward demons. Who knows what her stance is now...

On the other hand, Yumo is also slightly taken aback by Yuan’er’s sudden arrival. It’s clear that this was beyond her expectation.

And the little wolf? It continues to look around, unsure of what to do. For a moment, the large tent falls into an awkward silence.

Seeing this, the little girl Yuan’er, who doesn’t understand why no one is speaking, becomes anxious. The fear in her odd-colored eyes starts to overflow, and she slowly retracts back behind the tent, only leaving half of her head visible.

With a somewhat shy voice, she quietly asks:

"Um, did I... come at a bad time?"

Hearing this pitiful voice, and observing the pink-haired girl’s timid yet hesitant movements, Yumo’s heart quivered suddenly.

A hint of compassion surfaced in her heart. The young girl quickly realized her momentary distraction might have made her little daughter feel uneasy.

With that thought, Yumo bit her lip with a touch of self-blame, and gently put the small white wolf in her hands down on the ground. She decided to ask about Limo’s matter later. For now, comforting Yuan’er was the most important thing. The child had come to find her for the first time, she couldn’t make her feel rejected...

Afterward, Yumo smoothed away her serious expression, revealed a kindly and affectionate smile, and raised her arms, making a welcoming gesture to Yun,

" Come here, Yuan’er!"

Listening to the soft, tender words and seeing the warm smile she had been longing for, Yuan’er’s heart was swept over by a refreshing breeze. Her fears and anxieties were blown away, replaced by incomparable joy.

"Yes!" Responding with a crisp and cute voice, Yuan’er no longer hid outside the tent but walked up with short strides.

Under the shelter of a burst of black light, she immediately came to Yumo, rushed into the girl’s arms without saying a word, and tightly hugged her waist, "Mum..."

Looking at Yuan’er, who was clinging to her and sweetly calling her ’Mum,’ Yumo smiled and affectionately ruffled the little girl’s head,

"Good, you’re such a good child."

On the other side, seeing her mother letting her go, Limo, who had a great sense of relief, immediately hopped into Liyu’s arms. Seeing the little white wolf back in her arms, Liyu breathed a sigh of relief.

’We are Safe….’

At this moment, Liyu couldn’t believe what had happened, standing there a bit dumbfounded. But with Limo’s ’meow’ sounds continuously reaching her ears, Liyu gradually returned to her senses.

Looking forward, seeing her little sister acting cute in their mother’s arms, Liyu’s emerald eyes filled with immense joy. She felt like her heart was blossoming.

Obviously, Yuan’er’s arrival had diverted their mother’s attention, and she was no longer obsessively digging into Limo’s matters.

Originally, having waited for a long time without Xiao or Kalina coming to rescue her, Liyu thought she was doomed. Unexpectedly, at the last moment, it was her ’new’ little sister who helped defuse the situation…

Although their mother would probably ask about it later, by that time, she should be able to find Xiao or Kalina to help her out. Even if they couldn’t help, having one more person would distract their mother’s anger!

In an instant, Liyu’s attitude toward Yuan’er changed drastically. Previous doubts and vigilance vanished, replaced by strong feelings of affection!

’ little sister is just too cute!!’

’Small and adorable, with a voice that’s both soft and cute, and eyes that are pure and innocent. Hehe~’

’She’s much cuter than Shuoyue, that crafty little sister! ’

(Shuoyue: Huh? Why do I feel like someone is badmouthing me?)

Perhaps due to the influence of the ’lifesaving grace,’ Liyu’s gaze toward Yuan’er seemed to gradually emit a brilliant starlight, and her liking for her rapidly filled her heart.

For a moment, Liyu even had the impulse to rush up and hug Yuan’er.

’Little sister Yuan’er, I will protect you in the future!’

On the other side, although Limo was still rather confused, she seemed to realize that Yuan’er’s appearance had helped her out.

Therefore, just like Liyu, she looked at Yuan’er with starry eyes, seemingly having the thought of rushing up to lick her little sister’s cheek.

Suddenly being targeted by two piercing gazes, Yuan’er naturally noticed the commotion on the side. After reluctantly poking her little head out of Yumo’s embrace, she curiously looked at the bizarre combination of a ’human’ and a ’little wolf’.

’Huh?’

’Who are they?’

Relying on the Shadow Power in her body, and the resonance between the bloodlines, Yuan’er pondered for a moment and then recognized the identity of the gray-haired girl and the little white wolf.

’They should be Sister Liyu who likes to act mature, and Sister Limo, the silly older sister that sister Youlan had talked about.’

’However,’

’What... what... why are they looking at me like that?’

After noticing the excited, ’wolf-like’ gleaming eyes of Liyu and Limo, Yuan’er instinctively felt a hint of fear and anxiously while curled up in Yumo’s arms.

’These two sisters... are kind scary...’
