Abyssal Chronicles

Chapter 664 - 665: The Astounding Combination

With Meliora’s fall, Yuan’er, now free from the threat of vegetables, began to enjoy her delicious breakfast contentedly. And Meliora? She temporarily went to meet the ancestors of the dragon race~

But just as Yuan’er was eating a little meat, a familiar aura abruptly entered the little one’s sensory field.

’?!!’

"Hmm? Mommy is back?!"

The little one put down her cutlery, turned her head instantly, and looked towards the dining room’s main door, her bright heterochromatic eyes filled with excitement.

As the little one let out an excited shout, the Black Rose family’s maids instantly perked up, and the old butler, who had been scratching his head in anxiety, was suddenly brought back to his senses, looking somewhat unexpectedly towards the dining room’s main entrance.

As expected of the Black Rose family’s master of acting, Sebastian who had just appeared anxious, immediately suppressed his restless emotions upon hearing Yuan’er’s words.

The once warm, elegant, and gentlemanly butler of the Black Rose family was back in action.

His ability to change his expression so quickly was truly astonishing.

Under the respectful gaze of Sebastian and the Black Rose family members, the dining room door slowly opened. A stunningly beautiful young lady, dressed in a black and red gown, akin to a fairy descending to earth, gracefully stepped into the dining room.

"Welcome home, Lady Yumo."

Sebastian placed one hand on his chest and bowed respectfully in greeting.

"I’m back, Sebastian."

The familiar gentle voice softly reached the old butler’s ears.

Hearing Yumo’s gentle and pleasant voice again, the unease in Sebastian’s heart was quickly extinguished. Facing the person he respected the most, Sebastian immediately perked up, eagerly speaking while looking ahead,

"Milady, would you like to have breakfast now? Today’s breakfast has... Hm?!!"

However,

The moment he saw the scene in front of him, Sebastian was instantly stunned, as if he had been struck by a 100,000-volt electric shock, standing there dumbfounded, unable to recover for a long time.

At that moment,

Sebastian’s recently calmed heart began to churn again.

The unease that had just been extinguished flared up in his heart like a raging fire.

’This…’

’What is this?!’

’Why, why?! Why is she here?!!’

In an instant, the old butler clenched his fists, unable to suppress the roar in his heart.

At this moment,

Under the shocked gazes of Sebastian, the Black Rose family servants, and little Yuan’er, the familiar black-haired girl was slowly approaching the dining area, waving affectionately at everyone. Normally, there wouldn’t be anything unusual about this scene, as Yumo, despite her high status, had never treated the members of the Black Rose family as mere servants, but rather as her own beloved children.

A mother greeting her children was a common occurrence.

What truly astonished everyone was Yumo’s current attire and the silver figure beside her, defying easy description.

’?!’

’The Girl of Destiny?!!’

Looking at the familiar silver-haired girl, the old man Sebastian suddenly raised his hand to his chest, feeling a sensation akin to a heart attack.

That beautiful silver-haired girl was gently holding Yumo’s delicate hand, and together they entered the dining room. The two stunning girls looked very close, enveloped in an ineffable, wonderful pink atmosphere.

The silver-haired girl seemed to enjoy this atmosphere, her lips slightly upturned, her pale purple eyes full of joy, gazing affectionately at the black-haired girl. She even occasionally snuggled more intimately next to the black-haired girl, burying Yumo’s slender arm into her own ample bosom.

Facing the silver-haired girl’s intimate actions, Yumo did not show any disgust, but rather a doting expression. She just let Mengxi affectionately embrace her.

The two girls, so loving and close, formed a somewhat thrilling picture.

Unfortunately,

After seeing this scene, the old butler had no energy to appreciate this beautiful sight. After his initial shock, a volcanic fury erupted inside him! A raging inferno of anger engulfed his heart.

’Damn it!’

’Why is it this sly fox again!!!’

’Damn it! Stay away from Milady!’

Sebastian bit his lip hard, his heart roaring with a tearing heartbreaking outcry.

Seeing the sacred and inviolable girl of his heart entangled by the Girl of Destiny, Sebastian felt his anger almost bursting from his throat.

Moreover,

This was not all. After noticing some details on the girls’ clothes, Sebastian had the illusion of a sudden heart stop.

With his rich experience and sharp eyes, Sebastian quickly noticed the disheveled state of Mengxi’s clothes and some small ’water stains’ on her nun’s outfit. Similarly, although Yumo was neatly dressed, Sebastian could tell at a glance that the clothes on Yumo were not those meticulously prepared by their Black Rose family.

They were clothes formed by Yumo’s Shadow Power...

Given Yumo’s shy nature, she definitely wouldn’t have run out last night. So why was she wearing a dress formed by the Shadow Power when she returned? Where had the original dress gone?

Thinking of the blush on Mengxi’s face and the unknown liquid on her clothes, a terrifying conjecture suddenly emerged in Sebastian’s mind.

’They... they couldn’t possibly have...?!’

At that moment,

Thinking that their cherished pearl might have been ’offered’ to a ’pig’, the old butler’s heart suffered an unprecedented blow. His entire body trembled uncontrollably, retreating repeatedly...

Anger, sorrow, pain, regret, and other emotions surged in Sebastian’s heart.

...

...

At that moment,

As the saying goes, human emotions of joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness cannot be universally defined. While Sebastian felt a deep heartache, Yuan’er’s eyes sparkled with golden light, joyfully watching the two girls nearby.

Although Yuan’er didn’t know exactly what had happned between her mother and the Girl of Destiny, she could keenly sense the change in the atmosphere between the two women, a change that was delightful to witness.

’Has Mommy not only ’reconciled’ with sister Mengxi?’

’But even took it a step further?’

’Hehe~’

Unconsciously, Yuan’er revealed an excited smile. If it weren’t for the presence of many from the Black Rose family nearby, the little girl might have burst into jubilant cheers. However, a child is still a child, and Yuan’er’s control over her emotions was still somewhat lacking.

Upon seeing Mengxi affectionately nuzzle up to her mother, Yuan’er couldn’t help but let out a joyful laugh.

Though the laugh was soft, it instantly attracted Sebastian’s attention.

Hearing the laughter, a puzzled Sebastian followed the sound, fiercely turning his head, glaring behind him with a menacing aura.

However,

Despite her somewhat lacking emotional control, Yuan’er, as a demon king being, reacted much faster than an ordinary human like Sebastian. The moment Sebastian turned his head, Yuan’er quickly picked up the unconscious little Meliora, burying her face into her fluffy body.

Knowing full well that Sebastian was adept at reading expressions, the adorable Yuan’er would never expose her giggling face, would she?

Thus,

When Sebastian turned around, all he saw were a few maids looking equally bewildered and Yuan’er, whose face was hidden behind Meliora and whose expression was unclear.

’??’

’Huh?’

’Was it my imagination? An auditory hallucination?’

Sebastian frowned slightly.

Nevertheless, the old butler eventually refocused his attention on the situation ahead. After all, the pressing matter at hand was how to deal with the sudden appearance of this silver-haired girl.

As a top-notch actor of the Black Rose,

Even with a storm raging in his heart, fury overwhelming, and deep grief...

Sebastian still managed, with great willpower, to suppress these negative emotions, maintaining the composure and elegance of a qualified butler. After taking a deep breath, Sebastian struggled to squeeze out a ’kind’ smile.

Although it was just a simple facial expression, for Sebastian, it was as difficult as ascending to heaven, almost exhausting all his mental strength.

"Welcome, Miss Mengxi."

With a smile, Sebastian respectfully bowed.

At that moment, Sebastian found himself in a familiar state.

That is, smiling outwardly,

but cursing inwardly in his heart.

’Damn it!!!’

’You little rascal, get your filthy hands off Milady! Pull back your disgraceful chest, aaaaaaaaahhhhhhh!!!’
