Abyssal Chronicles

Chapter 386 - 387: Moving [3/3]

At this moment, Kalina’s mood is better than ever.

Yesterday,

When her mother and sisters, including Xiao and other members of the Black Rose family, returned to the eastern part of Winter Forest, where the Demon Temple used to be, they were astonished by the sight that met their eyes.

On the original flatland, besides a peaceful lake, was a beautifully classic mansion standing tall on the snowy grounds.

The mansion embodied a European aesthetic.

Romantic and majestic, its high entrance hall and impressive mahogany doors, arched windows and platinum-studded fixtures exuded elegance and luxury. The white-painted walls paired with the soft blue roofing tiles, consecutive archways and corridors alongside living spaces with large windows were fresh and unconventional, giving off an invigorating vibe.

The mansion was elegantly refined without compromising comfort.

Beyond its delicacy, the entire mansion emanated an aura of grandeur. The two enormous dragon statues filled with potent magical energy standing before the main entrance were a clear testament to this.

As the massive mahogany doors slowly opened, the interior was equally impressive,

Floors made from silver soul crystal stones; mirror-like bright tiles; luxurious diamond crystal chandeliers; intricately designed glass featuring snowflake patterns; sofas and carpets made from unidentified beast skins; sculptures crafted from unknown monster skeletons; and so on...

The entire room,

Was filled with a romantic and majestic atmosphere, even Xiao, who had seen many lavish scenes, couldn’t help but express admiration after seeing this brand-new mansion.

Limo and Yuan’er, the two adorable little ones, were jumping around excitedly in the new house, clearly enjoying themselves. It was evident that the little duo was very satisfied with their new home.

As for Yumo, the woman Kalina treasured and loved the most, had stars in her eyes, and without a second’s hesitation, Yumo patted Kalina with a lovely tone:

"Good job, Kalina. The new house is very beautiful, I love it!"

With that,

Yumo couldn’t resist entering the mansion, joining Liyu in the grand tour.

Seeing this, Kalina, the primary designer of the mansion, felt a wave of overwhelming pride wash over her.

’I’m so glad Mother and my sisters love the new house’

Kalina thought, bubbling with joy,

She didn’t regret the time spent pursuing an architecture degree during her stint as a mercenary in the human world. With the knowledge she obtained and her understanding of her mother, she was able to construct such a stylish building.

Additionally,

In an attempt to complete the mansion before her mother’s return, Kalina had put in a lot of effort~

Given that most of the Abyssal Demons were brainless brutes incapable of engaging in delicate tasks such as house construction,

With the members of the Black Rose household absent from the forest, Kalina was left with no choice but to seek assistance from other intelligent monster races within the Winter Forest. However, due to her mother’s ’inside agent’ policy, these monster races, especially those with new leaders who seemed a bit arrogant, were not very friendly to her, despite her being a Demon king , and they rejected Kalina’s invitation outright.

Of course,

Kalina, who has always had a good temper, was not too bothered by the rudeness of these youngsters; her heart was always calm and composed.

"Tsk..."

’Has it been decades since I’ve been back? Are they planning a rebellion?’

Afterward, Kalina simply donned her full armor and, holding her long sword, strode alone into the bases of these monsters. There, she reasoned with them and made them realize who the true boss of Winter Forest was...

By the way, it also served as a reminder for other races about the pleasant experience of being educated by Kalina.

Eventually, thanks to Kalina’s relentless efforts, the various monster tribes agreed happily to her invitation. They sent all of their highest-ranked members capable of taking human form to the sanctuary to help Kalina construct the new mansion.

Of course, to apologize, these races even brought a large amount of raw materials for the construction of the new house.

It has to be said,

The actions of these neighbors touched Kalina deeply.

Thus, after Kalina and the people of these races worked day and night for several weeks, a delicately perfect mansion appeared in the sanctuary. Despite the process being quite strenuous, seeing her mother and sisters love for the new house made Kalina break into an excited smile.

However,

Taking this opportunity, with the excuse of rewarding herself, she hoped her mother would sleep with her tonight~

Her mother, in a great mood, did not hesitate and quickly agreed to her request.

’Hee hee~’

And then,

Kalina, who had bathed with her mother, comfortably cuddled up to her and enjoyed a comfortable and joyful night.

"Hmm~ As expected, being with Mom is the most comfortable..."

Of course,

When Liyu and her other little sisters found out she was going to sleep with their mother, they also wanted to join. However, Kalina, who had anticipated this, quickly dealt with her sisters using various new foods and entertainment activities.

Although as a proud knight, she should learn to share.

But last night,

Kalina wanted to be a little selfish.

The opportunity was rare. She wanted to enjoy her mother’s warmth alone and the comfort of being held in her mother’s arms~

--

At this moment,

In the elegant and noble dining room,

Kalina, sitting at the dining table in a graceful red dress, had a blissful smile on her face. Right now, Kalina was constantly reminiscing about the scenes of bathing and sleeping with her mother last night. Whenever she thought of her mother’s gentle words and tender caresses, her orange eyes were full of joy.

"It was indeed a memorable night~"

Kalina was in an exceptionally good mood at this moment.

So much so, that she was lost in the silence of last night’s meeting and didn’t notice the others taking their seats one after another...

Not until the crisp, soft voice of a certain loli rang in her ears did Kalina snap back to reality.

"Good morning, Sister Kalina!"

’Huh?’

"Good morning, Yuan’er"

Seeing the cute little pink-haired girl sitting beside her, Kalina affectionately patted her little sister’s head.

"Did you sleep well last night, little one?"

"Mm-hmm, very well!"

Yuan’er nodded repeatedly with a smile, her voice sweet as she returned the question.

"What about you, Sister Kalina?"

"I had a good rest as well."

Kalina responded gently. Saying so, she looked up and across the table at her other two sisters.

However, Kalina, who wanted to greet her sisters, couldn’t help but frown upon seeing the state of Limo and Liyu. The words she was about to say were swallowed back:

"What happened to you two..."

Faced with Kalina’s words, both Limo and Liyu lowered their heads in unison, choosing not to respond.

But,

Even without saying a word, from the somewhat awkward appearance of the two sisters, their aggrieved expressions, and the slight bumps on their heads, Kalina roughly understood what had happened.

Most likely, they made too much noise this morning,

And quieted down only after receiving a rebuke from their mother, right?

’Ah, really~’

With that thought, a hint of sympathy appeared in Kalina’s eyes as she looked at her two sisters.

Upon noticing Kalina’s gaze, Liyu, the little one across the table, bashfully lowered her head. She, who always wanted to maintain a mature image, didn’t want others to know that she had been scolded by her mother, even if that person was her sister...

Moreover,

Thinking about how she had been lectured by her mother in front of her little sister Yuan’er earlier, Liyu felt a wave of embarrassment wash over her.

’Oh no,’

’How humiliating!’

’It’s all your fault, stupid sister!’

Thinking this, Liyu couldn’t help but cast a resentful gaze at the wolf girl sitting next to her, who responded with a perplexed and confused expression.

However,

While feeling gloomy, Liyu also felt a sense of relief. After all, while their mother was scolding her and her sister Limo, she didn’t pay much attention to her small cabinet. If the things inside the cabinet were seen by their mother, it wouldn’t be as simple as a bump on the head.

She might end up with a sore bottom...

Thinking this, Liyu couldn’t help but shudder.

Just as Liyu was feeling relieved, a rich crimson light suddenly radiated throughout the dining room. The next moment, accompanied by the waves of scarlet shadow power and the fluttering of dozens of bloody butterflies, a stunning black-haired girl appeared at the head of the table.

"Good morning, Mom!"

Upon seeing her mother, Yuan’er immediately waved with excitement.

"Good morning, Yuan’er."

Yumo responded warmly.

After speaking, the girl’s expression suddenly changed to become incredibly serious. She slowly turned her head to look at her two jittery daughters sitting to her left: "You two, remember this. No more making such a racket. You are sisters, if there’s a problem, talk it out. And... behaving this way in front of your little sister? What if you set a bad example for her?!"

"We’re sorry. We were wrong." X2

The two girls lowered their heads in guilt.

Looking at her two troublesome children, Yumo couldn’t help but shake her head helplessly. She then turned her puzzled gaze around the room:

"Now, where’s Shuoyue? I asked her to join us for breakfast. Why hasn’t she arrived yet? Has she... has she overslept again?"

"Mom, Shuoyue seems to have left early this morning with Xiao."

Kalina elegantly sipped her tea and slowly began to speak.

"Shuoyue left with Xiao?"

"Yes, she seemed to be in a rush. She probably had some urgent matter to attend to."

"Hmm?"

Hearing this, Yumo’s brow furrowed, and she looked out of the window with some worry:

"Come to think of it, Shuoyue seemed troubled since last night. Did something happen?"
