Chapter 518 - 519: Threat [1/2]

Yumo And Mengxi’s new Illustration has been released in Chapter 01,

-

"Kyaaaaaaaa, Mommy, save me... save me..."

"This voice?"

"Yuan’er’s? "

The sound of her daughter crying cut deep into Yumo’s heart.

"Yuan’er! What have you done to my daughter?!"

Looking straight at Youlan’s creepy face, Yumo shouted loudly.

A spiritual pressure erupted from Yumo’s soul, rushing toward Youlan.

However, Youlan was unfazed by this pressure. Instead, she responded with a teasing smile:

"I just invited the little one to play with me for a while."

"What?!"

Upon hearing this, the black-haired girl’s pupils shrank abruptly. Yumo’s face changed drastically, and she quickly pulled out the disc-shaped magical tool given by Sebastian from her pocket.

She attempted to contact Yuan’er through the device, but her efforts were in vain. According to the device’s tracking, Yuan’er, who was in the Central Forbidden Palace in the morning, had now disappeared without a trace.

Considering how genuine Yuan’er’s cry sounded, Yumo initially had doubts that Youlan had fabricated the voice to deceive her.

But now, all signs indicated that her daughter might indeed have been taken by Youlan and was in grave danger.

"Damn it"

"I shouldn’t have let her stay with Meliora..."

Yumo was filled with self-blame and regret.

But regret was pointless now. Yumo needed to think about how to deal with the current situation. With that in mind, Yumo directed her intense gaze at the honey-haired woman in the distance.

Her own child,

like Limo and Liyu, although always hostile to humans and seeing them as pests that pollute the world, were quite friendly to the Abyssal Demons. They wouldn’t massacre other Demons like they would humans, even those without consciousness. Even Limo, who was always hungry, wouldn’t choose other Demons as her food but would hunt humans or magical beasts.

However, Youlan was different.

In Yumo’s memory, this eldest daughter had never stopped her massacre of the Demons. Countless had died under her bloody thorns. These demons, after their death, were invariably drained of their life force by the bloody thorns, turning into withered corpses. The constant infighting and brutal means of killing even made Yumo somewhat disgusted.

Moreover, not only did Youlan target ordinary Demons, even her younger siblings weren’t spared.

Both Pierre and Kalina had been harmed by Youlan in the past, with Youlan forcibly absorbing a large amount of their energy.

This was the primary reason for Yumo’s disappointment with Youlan.

At that time, precisely because of this reason, Yumo did not want her children to have any contact with Youlan. When she learned that Yuan’er had seen Youlan, her reaction was intense. Ultimately, she was afraid that Youlan would harm her other children.

Considering the viciousness and notorious history of that woman, if Yuan’er were taken by her, the consequences would be unimaginable...

"..."

Yumo took a deep breath just thinking about it.

At this moment, her worry for her daughter’s safety dominated her heart, overpowering any guilt she felt towards Youlan.

Her deep blue eyes turned a bright red.

She looked angry and was giving a big warning vibe.

"What did you do to Yuan’er?!"

"What did I do? Come on, you know. I took some of her energy. She might be weak, but she’s still pretty strong. Her power will help me get back to my prime"

Youlan said with a smile, but she looked pretty cold.

"She’s your sister! And she likes and trusts you so much! She even defended you before! How could you do this to her?!"

"Please. Liking me? Trusting me? Those are just emotions I deliberately cultivated on her. It was to easily deceive her, ensuring my plan went smoothly today. And besides..."

The woman with honey-colored hair disdainfully shook her head.

"Besides, she’s not my real sister. She’s just a hybrid you made by stealing the Goddess power from My Mother. Why would I feel bad about getting rid of such a hybrid? A naive kid that’s easily deceived, how does she deserve Mother’s blessing..."

A chilling murderous intent and deep disdain were evident in Youlan’s words.

The black-haired girl who heard this could no longer restrain herself.

Her eyes flashed crimson red.

In a split second,

A red beam flashed, and while Youlan was still speaking, her eyes widened in surprise.

’What?!’

Out of nowhere,

A powerful pressure hit Youlan stopping her from talking.

Before Youlan could react,

Yumo, who was dozens of meters away, appeared in front of Youlan in an instant! After tearing apart the bloody thorns blocking her way with sheer force, the black-haired girl grabbed Youlan’s neck and fiercely slammed her to the ground!

Booooooooooom~*

With a loud crash, Youlan hit the ground. Yumo looked super mad and was on top of her. With one hand on her throat, she held her down. The impact made a huge dent in the ground, and some blood from around the place started to fill it.

In a split second, Youlan’s honey-colored hair and white cloak were stained with blood, and Yumo’s skirt and stockings were inevitably tainted by splattered blood and bits of viscera. However, Yumo didn’t care about that and sternly warned Youlan,

"Enough! Talk about all you want, but I won’t allow you to speak bad of my child like that!"

Seeing Yumo so agitated, Youlan fell silent for a moment.

Once Yumo confirmed that the woman beneath her wasn’t resisting, she quickly turned her attention to a light blue communication magic stone nearby. Frantically, she picked up the stone and the black-haired girl anxiously cried out,

"Yuan’er! Can you hear me?! Where are you?! Mommy is coming to save you! Yuan’er!! Can you hear me, Yuan’er?!"

Yumo repeatedly shouted into the magic stone, trying to connect with her daughter on the other end. Yet, her calls seemed to sink into the abyss, receiving no response. Yuan’er’s cries for help kept coming through the stone, continuously piercing Yumo’s heart, making her look distressed. After a while, Yumo realized that the communication via the magic stone was one-sided. She could hear her daughter, but Yuan’er couldn’t hear her.

Furthermore, one phrase from Yuan’er’s cries made Yumo’s brows furrow—

"Sister Youlan!! Please! No... stay away from me!"

’What? She’s... telling Youlan to stay away from her?! Is Youlan by Yuan’er’s side?! Then who is beneath me?! Could it be... ’

’That she, who has never come to see me in all these years, couldn’t possibly dare to reveal herself now at this moment?’

Realizing this, Yumo focused her gaze on the woman beneath her. Almost as if to confirm her suspicions, Youlan’s body began to crack, with fractures appearing all over. As Yumo watched with gritted teeth, besides the blood-soaked clothing, Youlan’s body began to crumble at an alarming rate. The disintegration started from her limbs, progressively moving up towards her torso and head.

In just an instant, Youlan’s limbs were no more. The disintegrated limbs transformed into countless ghostly blue petals, fluttering in the air. Clearly, the woman pinned beneath Yumo was not the real Youlan. Instead, it was a replica of Youlan’s body, created using the power of shadow to split a part of her soul, convincing enough to deceive anyone. As her body continued to crumble, an inscrutable smile emerged on the face of Youlan’s duplicate.

"If you want to find that little girl, follow me... or else... you’ll never see her again," the duplicate said with a smirk.

Yumo remained silent.

"So, what’s your decision? Save your daughter, or follow the that goddess’s instructions and protect the Girl of Destiny?"
