-------------------------------------

"A visitor? At this hour of the night..."

"Could it be... that girl..."

After furrowing her brow slightly, Yumo had a rough idea of who the visitor might be.

Soon after, the black-haired girl in the bath gradually disintegrated, transforming into a myriad of bloody butterflies. Gradually, under the respectful gaze of the two maids, she reshaped her body at the edge of the bath. After this process of deconstruction and reconstruction, Yumo’s body was completely free from moisture.

The two maids by her side immediately understood and stepped forward to assist her in changing...

Meanwhile, as Yumo was changing, our little Yuan’er cutely peered half of her small head out of the water, blinking her eyes thoughtfully:

’Hmm? Someone’s looking for Mommy?’

’At this time of night? Coming to see Mommy? Could it be...’

’Hehe...’

A mischievous grin slowly appeared on Yuan’er’s face.

After a few minutes of delay, with the assistance of the two maids, Yumo finished arranging her beautiful black hair and pinned it up behind her head. She then put on a white classical dress that harmonized perfectly with the indoor ambiance. Yumo seemed to have no reservations about wearing a dress now. She didn’t hesitate at all when the maids presented her with this dress; she accepted it willingly.

Once everything was in order, Yumo, now transformed back into an elegant noble lady, gently pushed open the door of her apartment.

However, in the next instant, just as Yumo had anticipated, that silver-haired girl with a sweet smile, as beautiful as an angel, appeared before her eyes. The silver-haired girl still had her sleek ponytail and wore a simple white-black school uniform, just like during the day. But unlike daytime, this time, she was holding several generations of thick files in front of her chest.

Upon seeing Yumo open the door, the silver-haired girl’s smile became even brighter, like the sunshine on a spring day.

"Good evening, Teacher Yu!" Mengxi greeted Yumo with great enthusiasm.

Facing Mengxi’s greeting, Yumo was clearly taken aback. After all, up to this point, Yumo wasn’t accustomed to Mengxi addressing her as ’Teacher Yu’ For some reason, hearing Mengxi say it felt a bit embarrassing, like some role-play game.

Well, considering that Mengxi was currently standing at the door of her apartment, with other teachers curiously watching nearby, the way she addressed Yumo was acceptable.

Once Yumo regained her composure, she smiled faintly and said,

"Good evening, Mengxi. It’s quite late; is there something you need?"

Mengxi shrugged, holding the files against her chest.

"Well…I’m here to deliver some files to you, Teacher Yu. These are the course records from Professor Sakara, along with reports on each student’s progress and magical parameters. I believe you’ll find them useful. Also, since you’re new here, there are some matters related to the classes that need to be discussed. As the class leader, I thought I’d come over and assist."

"Oh, I see," Yumo responded.

"Yep," Mengxi replied cheerfully. "Anyway, may I come in?"

"Of course," Yumo said, allowing Mengxi to enter.

Upon receiving Yumo’s permission, Mengxi entered her apartment with a smile. The teachers who had been watching nearby couldn’t help but show slightly surprised expressions. They were well aware that, despite being the class leader, Mengxi had never been this proactive in seeking out the head teacher for class matters. Over the past six months, she had never once approached Professor Sakara voluntarily.

"Since when did that girl become so enthusiastic?" many teachers wondered silently.

After escorting Mengxi into the room, Yumo turned her gaze toward Sebastian, who had just come out of the kitchen.

"Sebastian, please prepare some tea and snacks and bring them to my room."

Sebastian replied respectfully, "Certainly, My Lady"

Seeing this, Yumo didn’t say much more. Instead, she glanced at the silver-haired girl behind her, speaking in a calm and somewhat authoritative tone, much like a teacher addressing a student,

"Follow me."

Mengxi nodded and said, "Ok"

And so, the two stunning young ladies proceeded upstairs.

Once their footsteps had completely faded away, and even the sound of the door closing could be heard, the senior butler Sebastian finally released his courteous demeanor. His benevolent smile disappeared in an instant, replaced by an icy chill one.

It wasn’t just Sebastian; the maid and the young butler beside him also showed subtle changes in their expressions.

They gazed pensively up the staircase, their eyes fixed on the second floor, where Yumo and Mengxi had disappeared. In Sebastian’s eyes, flickers of anger could be seen. With Yumo absent, there was no need for him to hide his true feelings any longer.

Clearly, the head butler was quite displeased at the moment.

"Hmph!" he couldn’t help but snort.

’That damn Girl of Destiny!’

’She came to visit Lady Yumo so soon!’

’And she even pretended to be a well-behaved student... Hmph...’

The mere thought of that Girl of Destiny, with her malicious intentions towards their beloved and pure-hearted Lady, sent the senior butler’s blood pressure skyrocketing. If it weren’t for the presence of the two younger staff members nearby, Sebastian might have succumbed to an urge to erupt in anger.

Thankfully, he had received professional training, and after taking a few deep breaths, he managed to calm his anger.

"Heh…This devious woman thinks she can manipulate our Lady’s feelings? With a seasoned professional like me, there’s no way she’ll succeed! Let me show you how I’ll thwart your wicked schemes!"

With this determination in mind, Sebastian allowed a faint smile to curl at the corners of his lips.

Truth be told, Sebastian had long anticipated Mengxi’s visit. As an excellent butler, he had already devised a plan for how to handle this situation.

So, while he retrieved tea and snacks from the cupboard and refrigerator, Sebastian glanced at the young footman beside him and asked,

"Wandong, is the substance ready?"

"Yes, Sir. Sebastian, it’s been prepared in advance," the young man replied carefully. He then delicately produced a small bag of black powder from his sleeve and handed it to Sebastian.

"This was made according to Lady Wanya’s formula. It won’t affect Lady Yumo, but it will disrupt the holy energy within the Girl of Destiny’s body. She’ll experience discomfort, confusion, and a strong urge for diarrhea. In such an uncomfortable state, the Girl of Destiny won’t have the mental fortitude to continue bothering Lady Yumo. Besides, she’s known for her pride, right? If she keeps embarrassing herself in front of Lady Yumo, she’ll likely slink away in shame!"

As he briefly envisioned the Girl of Destiny making a fool of herself, the young man wore an evil smile.

Sebastian nodded in satisfaction.

In Lady Yumo’s presence, they wouldn’t dare to poison anyone. However, making this woman embarrass herself and temporarily lose her ability to pester Lady Yumo was entirely achievable.

Sebastian generously praised, "Well done, Wandong."

"This is my duty, Sir. Sebastian," Wandong replied humbly.

"Then, please continue preparing dinner for Lady Yumo and Miss Yuan’er. I’ll handle things here,"

"Understood."

With Sebastian’s guidance, Wandong and the other maid gracefully withdrew and returned to the adjacent kitchen to resume their tasks. Meanwhile, Sebastian, as he heated water, retrieved measuring tools from the cabinet to prepare the tea leaves with precise proportions.

After all, being an excellent butler, he always aimed for the perfect tea, even if it was intended for that woman who was causing turmoil in his lady’s heart.

’Hmph, I will not make it easy for you’

However, as Sebastian meticulously measured the tea leaves and adjusted the water temperature, he remained unaware of what was happening behind him.

Not far away, a cute little figure, just out of the bath and dressed in a white princess dress, slowly peeked half of her small head out from behind the sofa. Her eyes, one red and one blue, sparkled as they locked onto the black powder on the coffee table.

In that moment, a mischievous smile played on Yuan’er’s lips.

As she indulged in her mischief, Yuan’er couldn’t help casting an apologetic glance towards Sebastian.

"Sorry, Grandpa Sebastian, but for the sake of my mommy and our bright future, I’ll have to trouble you a bit."
