Abyssal Chronicles

Chapter 663 - 664: Unlucky Little Meliora

"Mommy wasn’t home all last night."

’Hmm?’

’All night?’

’Isn’t this staying out all night?’

Upon hearing this, Sebastian’s expression changed abruptly, his face filled with overwhelming unease and anxiety.

’She didn’t come back at night?’

’If so…’

’Where did Lady Yumo go? Why did she leave without telling us? What was she doing secretly?’

In an instant, countless questions surged in Sebastian’s mind. Like a father worried about his daughter, he looked around anxiously. Although it might seem disrespectful to say this and might even get him a scolding from the other little ancestors, Sebastian, who has been taking care of Yumo for a long time, has subconsciously come to regard her as a ’daughter-like’ figure.

Even though his own age compared to hers is utterly insignificant.

If his own child didn’t return home overnight, any father would surely be worried.

But,

To be honest,

Yumo’s safety really doesn’t need anyone else to worry about. Considering her strength, those who dare to offend her are the ones who should be worried. Even if the entire capital city turned to ashes, Yumo would not be harmed.

Sebastian knew this well, but still couldn’t suppress the unease in his heart.

Of course,

Sebastian’s worry wasn’t just about her safety. As a top figure in the Black Rose family, he knew Yumo’s character and true nature better than other family members.

’Milady is powerful, but her heart is pure and innocent’

’She’s the type that’s easily deceived’

When Lady Yumo left the Winter Forest, Lord Xiao strictly ordered that people with ulterior motives must be prevented from approaching her. After all, their Lady is so naive, beautiful, and wealthy; it’s easy for her to be deceived for her money or beauty...

Therefore,

Upon learning that Yumo was uncharacteristically missing for a whole night, Sebastian couldn’t help but suspect whether their lady had been lured out by some bad man, or bad woman? After all, not coming home for a whole night was a first in the past few months, so it’s no wonder Sebastian’s mind started to wander.

"What on earth… did Milady do?"

Sebastian murmured, biting his finger in a dilemma.

He wanted to directly contact Yumo through the communication magic stone.

But after thinking it through, Sebastian negated his own idea.

Ultimately, he is just a servant of Yumo, without the right to overly interfere in his Mistress’s privacy. Being too nosy and meddling could end up causing Yumo’s displeasure...

Sigh,

"This is so frustrating...

Sebastian, troubled, hugged his head, shook it, and paced back and forth.

…

"Grandpa, what are you doing?"

Yuan’er, standing nearby, tilted her head in confusion at this scene.

However, more than being concerned about why Sebastian looked so anxious, Yuan’er was more interested in the reaction of the cute little creature in her arms.

Looking at the fluffy little dragon in her arms, which was delicate and adorable, Yuan’er’s eyes sparkled with excitement.

The little dragon in her arms was her best friend, Meliora. Yuan’er had known about this from her mother early on.

Although Yuan’er was very puzzled as to why Meliora had turned into a little dragon, she knew that as long as Meliora got enough rest and nutrition, she would eventually turn back into the blonde loli that she could play with!

Undoubtedly, the fluffy little Meliora was fun... ah, no... very cute!

But Yuan’er still preferred a slightly larger doll.

After all,

The current little dragon state of Meliora meant many games couldn’t be played with her, which occasionally made Yuan’er slightly displeased.

So,

Recently, Yuan’er’s goal was simple: to help Meliora recover her state and turn back into a human as soon as possible!

Thinking this, Yuan’er didn’t hesitate to stab two slices of carrot with a fork and cheerfully brought them to the little dragon’s mouth:

"Come on, little Meli, time for breakfast, say ah~~"

The reason for feeding little Meliora vegetables was simple,

It was to maintain a balanced diet!

You know, both Mommy and Grandpa Sebastian said! Only children with a balanced diet can grow up healthy!

Considering little Meli’s breakfast full of meat dishes, Yuan’er, concerned about her friend’s health, unhesitatingly offered her own vegetables and brought them to Meliora’s mouth. To help her dear friend recover quickly, it didn’t matter if she ate fewer vegetables herself!!

In Yuan’er’s heterochromatic eyes flashed a serious expression, showing a look of ’sacrificing oneself for the benefit of a friend’.

Of course,

Yuan’er offering vegetables to Meliora was absolutely not because Yuan’er disliked eating vegetables!

’Absolutely not~’

"Little Meli, come on, open your mouth~"

"..."

On the other side, facing the carrot close at hand, the little dragon immediately rolled her eyes, her golden pupils filled with disdain and disgust.

’Ahhhhh’

’Vegetables again?!’

’I’m not a rabbit!!’

Meliora grumbled inwardly and ’fiercely’ glared at Yuan’er, sending a silent protest.

Clearly,

As a carnivorous animal, Meliora also had a strong dislike for vegetables.

’Really! Giving me vegetables day and night! Too much! It’s an injustice to the dragon race!!’

’No!’

’This time I must protest!!’

"Aoowuuu wuuu!! Ahh awwu!"

Turning her little head, Meliora resolutely let out a low roar to express her dissatisfaction. Having previously given in to this little girl so many times, Meliora, as the Sacred Dragon King, had often helped her dispose of the hard-to-swallow vegetables.

’Unexpectedly, this little girl not only showed no appreciation, but she also relentlessly fed me vegetables!’

’This is too much!’

’I am not a herbivorous dragon!’

’I want meat, meat!!!’

Thinking this, Meliora let out an angry growl, glaring at the carrot in front of her, firmly refusing to open her mouth to help Yuan’er dispose of the vegetables. Although her strength was greatly reduced due to some objective reasons, and she was powerless to escape the clutches of the little devil, Meliora’s heart still held the pride of the great Sacred Dragon King.

She would never submit to the enemy’s tyranny!

"Ow-woo-woo-woo!!" (I won’t eat! I won’t eat! I would rather die than eat!)

"Oho~"

Faced with Little Meliora’s eighteenth toothy protest, Yuan’er playfully raised her eyebrows.

In the next moment,

Just as Meliora was fiercely releasing hostility, a sweet pink lollipop suddenly appeared in front of her without warning! Instantly, the previously fierce little dragon’s eyes lit up, and tears unconsciously fell from the corners of her mouth...

Her determination to resist vegetables and her spirit to resist the oppression of the little devil crumbled in Little Meliora’s heart.

"Ow-woo-woo!!" (Lollipop! Give it to me!)

Unable to resist, Little Meliora opened her mouth and bit towards the lollipop.

However,

Just as the candy was about to enter her mouth, Yuan’er, with an innocently cute smile, let out a bell-like, clear, and pleasant laugh.

"Hehehe~"

"?!!"

’Eh?’

’No, no way!’

Hearing the laugh, Meliora immediately realized Yuan’er’s trick. The strong warning in the laughter briefly overcame Meliora’s instinct to eat candy. Sensing danger, she tried to control her body, to stop biting towards the lollipop.

Unfortunately,

As a little dragon, Meliora’s strength was only at the fifth level, which paled in comparison to Yuan’er, a level eight cutie.

Before Little Meliora could close her mouth, Yuan’er quickly snatched the lollipop from in front of her and mercilessly poured a whole bowl of vegetable salad into Meliora’s mouth...

...

...

Seconds later, having ’enjoyed’ the taste of vegetables, a certain little dragon blissfully foamed at the mouth, rolled her eyes, and fainted on the dining table. Her little paws and wings still occasionally twitched slightly...

Looking at the little dragon who had been defeated by her lollipop tactic for the eighteenth time, Yuan’er playfully stuck out her tongue.

"Hehe, that really worked again~"
