Abyssal Chronicles

Chapter 501 - 502 : Sobbingly Fleeing [2/2]

Facing the smug Pipi, Yuan’er could only hold her head in her hands and crouched down on the ground, glaring at Pipi like an angry kitten with ruffled fur. After wiping the tears from her eyes, the still teary-eyed Yuan’er pointed at the purple-haired maid and exclaimed:

"You! How dare you hit me!"

In response to Yuan’er’s accusation, Pipi coldly snorted with disdain:

"Tch, so what if I hit you? I’d like to do it again!"

Saying this, after venting his anger, the pleased Pipi once again raised his right hand, readying to slap. Seeing this, Yuan’er’s eyes widened in fear, and she quickly pulled back her hand, hugging her head and crouching down, fearing another blow to her head.

Clearly, Pipi’s unexpected hit earlier left a deep impression on Yuan’er.

Moreover, Yuan’er was afraid of getting hurt. After all, as her mother used to say, if one’s head gets hit too many times, they might turn into a fool. Yuan’er didn’t want to become a headache for her mother, just like her sister Limo.

However, after a few seconds of crouching and protecting her head, the expected slap didn’t come. Yuan’er, curious and wary, slowly opened her eyes and looked up at the purple-haired maid.

At that moment, under Yuan’er’s indignant gaze, the purple-haired maid, who had already put away his hand, openly laughed with scorn, the mockery clear in his voice.

"Hahaha! Little brats are just little brats, so cowardly! Haha~ Hahaha~"

"You! How dare you treat me this way! By bullying a child, aren’t... aren’t you afraid of retribution?!"

Feeling immensely humiliated, Yuan’er, still crouching, shakily questioned.

In response to the pink-haired girl’s threat, Pipi was unfazed and dismissively waved his hand.

He was the majestic Demon king, The terrifying Sword Demon, who had been rampant across the continent for centuries. Many had suffered under his tyranny, even famed high-level individuals. Bullying a little brat like her was nothing.

"Retribution? I’m not afraid. What can you do to me, little demon? Hahahaha~"

Pipi confidently donned a mocking mask, his face was exquisitely cute, but his smirk made him look lewd and punch-worthy, which only fueled the rising anger inside little Yuan’er.

"You! You bastard!"

The little girl cursed.

However, this time Yuan’er didn’t rashly rush forward. Even though she had suppressed the Shadow Power inside her and couldn’t sense properly, judging by the blow she received from the purple-haired maid, the latter’s true strength might be unfathomable. If she really clashed with her, she might not get the upper hand...

Moreover,

Unless faced with absolute danger, her mother had told her not to misuse her power in the academy.

Yuan’er wanted to be an obedient child. Thus, the gradually raging dark shadow power inside her began to calm down under her will.

However, ...

Even though Yuan’er’s inner "Shadow Power" wasn’t causing havoc, her heart was far from peaceful. A whirlwind of negative emotions began to affect her, making the young girl tremble.

Thinking about what just happened made her feel even worse.

She was innocently running on the rooftop when a maid suddenly jumped in front of her, knocking her down. As if being knocked down wasn’t bad enough, all her candies were ruined. Those were the limited-edition sweets that Sebastian had specially prepared for her!

Besides losing her candies, she was hit on the head.

And as if getting hit wasn’t enough, she was mocked afterward...

’Isn’t there any justice in the world?!’

If she hadn’t been so determined not to let her mom down, Yuan’er might have already burst into tears to vent her inner anger.

However, Yuan’er is still a child of about ten years. Even if she possesses a frightening power inside, she’s still a kid. After being bullied like that, it’s hard for her to hold back her feelings.

Eventually, tears welled up in her eyes, falling like broken pearls...

?????

"You wicked woman! Bullying me..."

Thus,

Under Pipi’s smug gaze, the little girl couldn’t hold back her tears any longer. The pitiful pink-haired Girl stood up, wiping her tears, and began to run away.

"I’m going to tell Mommy about you bullying me! She’ll teach you a lesson!"

As she ran away, crying and shouting threats, she soon disappeared from the view of the purple-haired maid.

This unexpected altercation seemed to have reached its end.

And Pipi acted like he won the whole thing.

Watching the direction the pink-haired girl left in, Pipi was clearly self-satisfied, putting his hands in his pockets, his dark purple eyes shining with glee.

"Heh, little one, thinking you can challenge me? Better run home to mommy!"

Pipi spoke arrogantly, showing a hint of disdain.

’Going to tell her mom? Such a childish move’

Pipi wasn’t the least bit concerned about the girl running to her mom. As Aya’s maid, accompanying the young lady of Holy Lomari capital, Pipi had encountered many naughty kids. Those kids, after getting a lesson from him, always cried and ran to their parents. Then, the overprotective elders would come after him.

Faced with such situations, Pipi never hesitated to give them a memorable lesson.

In Pipi’s eyes, the pink-haired girl’s act of telling her parents was just a repeat of past events, nothing to worry about. When the time comes, he’d just beat up the girl’s mom too.

He chuckled, thinking how effortless it would be.

After scoffing a few times, Pipi clapped his hands, planning to head back to Aya’s dorm.

However,

As he was about to leave, Pipi felt something odd. He glanced in the direction Yuan’er ran off to, and then at his own hand, the one he used to hit the pink-haired girl.

Hmm,

’Come to think of it’

’This little girl... seems stronger than most kids her age, doesn’t she?’

’And’

’That familiar feeling... ’

"It’s like... I’ve felt this before?"

---

On the other side,

After Yuan’er was out of Pipi’s sight, she quickly ran into the garden, heading towards the teacher’s dorm. She was super upset, and tears were streaming down her face. Even though she tried to wipe them with her sleeves, it didn’t help. Her sleeves became wet from her tears.

The other students in the garden felt bad for the crying, adorable little girl. They wanted to comfort her, but Yuan’er was running too fast for them to catch up.

’Bad woman! I’m gonna tell Mommy on you!’

Yuan’er kept thinking.

As she wiped her tears and wasn’t paying attention to where she was going, a figure slowly descended from the sky, landing right in front of her. As expected, Yuan’er ran right into her.

Oh no! A collision!

Realizing the person in front of her, Yuan’er tried to stop, but she couldn’t. The momentum carried her forward, and she crashed into the person.

But,

Unlike when she collided with Pipi, this time, Yuan’er didn’t bounce back. Instead, she landed softly in the gentle embrace of the person. After a few moments of shock, she blushed, realizing she might have gotten her tears and runny nose all over the person.

She tried to pull away to apologize.

However,

A familiar scent caught her attention, making her eyes light up with excitement and hope.

’Huh?! This scent?!’

"Sis... Sister Youlan?!"

Lifting her head to see the familiar face, Yuan’er shouted with joy.
