Abyssal Chronicles

Chapter 350 - 351 Trying to Muddle Through [2/2]

Whatever happened inside, Yumo would never let her precious daughter find out about it.

Whether it’s Limo, Liyu, or Yuan’er,

They are all innocent, adorable, and well-behaved children,

For these children, it’s absolutely forbidden to get involved with those things! Absolutely not!

Thus,

Facing Liyu’s curious questions, Yumo could only respond with an awkward smile and casually waved her hand. At the same time, under Yumo’s control, the bloody butterflies completely sealed off the tent, not allowing her daughters to see the chaos inside, nor allowing them to smell the strange scents within...

Meanwhile,

Yumo directly held Liyu back into her arms again, trying to divert her daughter’s attention through this.

Regarding this,

Although Liyu’s attention was not successfully diverted, she still quite enjoyed the comfort of her mother’s embrace.

However... to be frank, from Liyu’s perspective, her mother’s embrace wasn’t quite comfortable,

After all, her chest is somewhat flat, making her head bump uncomfortably. Compared to the voluptuous Kalina, the comfort level of her mother’s embrace clearly lacked in comparison.

Of course,

This was something Liyu would never dare to say aloud,

She’s not sure if it’s her illusion, but her mother, who didn’t care about the thickness of her chest fat at the beginning, seemed to have an unusual obsession with those two lumps of meat. If she mocks her mother’s chest, maybe it’s because she thinks her butt is itchy...

However, Liyu wouldn’t dislike her mother’s embrace because of this. After all, the reason she likes to snuggle up to her mother is to feel her scent at close range, not to enjoy the softness. Besides, compared to her mother who was still in a Temple-like state in the past, her mother’s embrace is now much more comfortable.

Clearly, her mother was attempting to conceal the scene inside the tent, something Liyu fully comprehended. But in order not to put her mother in a difficult position, Liyu chose to play along with her ignorance. Furthermore, by detecting the aroma emanating from her mother, Liyu could roughly deduce the events that transpired between her mother and the Girl of Destiny...

Wanting to glimpse at the scene inside the tent again would only be an unnecessary agitation.

Not to mention, it could potentially corrupt her sisters...

’Sigh,’

’How tiring’

So, without any resistance, Liyu quietly let herself be cradled in Yumo’s arms, basking in the comfort and the heartwarming scent of her mother’s embrace.

"Hehe~, mother’s embrace~,"

Without realizing it, a small smile started to form on Liyu’s face, reflecting her inner joy and contentment.

Seeing this,

Yumo couldn’t help but release a sigh of relief,

"Phew~"

If this girl digs deeper and wants to go in to find out? She really didn’t know what to do...

Just when Yumo started to relax,

Yuan’er and Limo, showed a strange expression, watching the gray-haired girl who was being affectionate with Yumo. After a while, seeing Liyu still rubbing against Yumo’s embrace, Yuan’er couldn’t help but pout,

A fleeting flash of ’jealousy’ appeared in her beautiful heterochromatic red and blue eyes,

After enduring without result,"

Yuan’er couldn’t help but leap down from the Snow Wolf’s back,

"Mom! It’s not fair to only hug Liyu! I want a hug too!!"

Saying so, Yuan’er transformed into a streak of black light and hurriedly came to Yumo. She raised her hands, putting on a cute posture asking for a hug. Seeing this, Limo also jumped over to Yumo’s side, mewing and looking pitifully at the black-haired girl.

"Ah, this..."

Indeed,

They are just children...

Seeing the pleading look in her daughters eyes, Yumo showed a helpless yet indulgent expression. Then, she held Yuan’er in her other arm, raising her hand to gently pat Limo’s ’little’ head.

"Alright, alright, good girl~"

With the touch of their mother’s hand and her comforting scent, Yuan’er’s feelings of jealousy faded instantly, her face lighting up with a joyful smile. Limo, having transformed into a giant wolf, wagged her tail contentedly and poked her tongue out.

If it weren’t for Yumo’s warning look, Limo would probably want to lick her face eagerly.

As for Liyu, who was also snuggled in Yumo’s embrace, she was somewhat speechless at her sisters behavior.

’Was it necessary...’

However, considering she was no better, Liyu gave up on commenting and instead lifted her head to meet Yumo’s radiant ruby-like eyes. She asked with a worried and questioning tone:

"Mother... a while ago... you... Why did you release the power? Has the Girl of Destiny... discovered your true identity?"

"Huh..."

At Liyu’s words, Yumo’s smile froze, her eyebrows knitting together slightly.

’Ah, I forgot about this…’

At that moment, Yumo recalled how, when disciplining Mengxi with a feather duster earlier, she had accidentally broken a small part of the barrier. Although she had consciously repaired it later, some of her Shadow aura must have leaked...

So, it seems Liyu and the others had felt it

’No wonder they were so worried and waited outside the tent.’

With these thoughts in mind,

An awkward smile appeared on Yumo’s face once again.

You see,

When she decided to get close to the Girl of Destiny, Liyu and the others had expressed strong opposition. Back then, she had confidently assured them that she would not be discovered by Mengxi! Yet now... thinking about how she was not only discovered but also has been deceived by Mengxi for a long time, Yumo felt an urge to burrow into a hole.

How would her daughters view her if they found out about this embarrassing incident?

Their mother was exposed by a little girl who was only at the sixth level. Moreover, she was so fooled that she lost her bearings.

Imagining her daughters possible thoughts, a shiver ran through Yumo.

To maintain her image of being reliable and formidable in her daughters’ hearts, she must not let them know about this!!

So,

Yumo glanced nervously to her left,

"No, she didn’t discover me, I released it on purpose!"

’On purpose?’

’Heeh...’

Upon hearing her mother’s explanation, Liyu revealed an unconsciously strange expression. But this strange look was soon suppressed by her curiosity and innocence:

"Hmm? Released on purpose? Why… why?"

"Ah… about that…enmmm,"

Yumo pursed her lips, her mind spinning quickly:

"Well, this… actually… Yes! I actually did it to help her unblock her Ren and Tang Meridians! This will enable her to cultivate more quickly and efficiently in the future! Look, the Son of Destiny is now dead, isn’t he? Doesn’t the responsibility of completing the trials now fall on the Girl of Destiny? We must help her to enhance her abilities more quickly... But since this is delicate work, I had to release part of my power! Yes, that’s it! It definitely wasn’t because she discovered anything! As for the scream just now, it was that girl crying out in pain while her meridians were being opened!"

"Umm…"

Upon hearing her mother’s explanation, Liyu didn’t know why, but a trace of ’sympathy’ seemed to flash across her eyes.

’Mother’

’Those Excuses…’

’Only a fool would believe it’

However, just as Liyu was inwardly complaining, Yuan’er at her side suddenly looked excited, her eyes sparkling as she looked at her mother, "Mommy can even help others improve their physique and increase cultivation efficiency too?! That’s amazing!!"

"..."

’Emm,’

For a moment, Liyu stood speechlessly in place, her feelings a bit complicated as she looked at her new little sister. After considering for a while, Liyu then looked at the foolish-looking giant white wolf.

Then,

Liyu sighed softly, revealing a relieved smile,

’ Well, I guess I’ll just have to get used to it ’

"Then Mom, What about now? Does the Girl of Destiny know your identity?"

"As for that… you don’t have to worry!"

With that, Yumo put on a confident expression and soothingly patted Liyu’s head:

"After I helped the Girl of Destiny enhance her aptitude for cultivation, I knocked her out and erased that part of her memory! She doesn’t know my real identity at all now, let alone our relationship with the Black Rose Family. Look, didn’t she leave without any reaction earlier? So... just be at ease!"

"..."

As her mother’s response entered her ears, Liyu’s gaze toward her mother became very complicated,

After a moment of silence,

Liyu sighed quietly within herself,

’ Sigh, it appears that Mengxi is already aware of Mother’s identity ’
