Abyssal Chronicles

Chapter 667 - 668: Friendly Relations

’Well…’

’Isn’t it kinda cute when you think about it?’

’From what Sister Yumo has described about her children, it seems she isn’t fully aware of what the Demon Kings have actually done in the human world. If not, she wouldn’t have such an innocent view of them.’

’According to Sister Yumo, the Black Rose family, now a major force loyal to her, was also founded by the human children she once raised. This family is so powerful that it ranks within the top ten forces on the entire continent.’

This family also possesses extraordinary financial resources and an intelligence system.

Therefore,

It’s unreasonable to think that Sister Yumo wouldn’t know about the deeds of these Demon Kings.

Unless,

The Black Rose family has deliberately kept it from Sister Yumo.

Considering the flaws in Sister Yumo’s acting, Mengxi is more convinced that this guess is correct, possibly caused by the people of the Black Rose family.

It seems,

Not only Sister Yumo’s children, but also the members of the Black Rose family, are all excellent actors, collaborating to hide many things from Sister Yumo and weaving a false cocoon of information around her.

It’s not hard to see the respect the members of the Black Rose family have for Sister Yumo, and the days spent in the Winter Forest, encountering humanoid Demon King girls, they always showed their dependence on Sister Yumo.

So, for Sister Yumo, their deception might be considered a well-intentioned lie.

Considering Sister Yumo’s bizarre suicidal tendencies, the Black Rose family and the Demon Kings fear is quite evident.

It’s all about secretly defeating human forces and eliminating the greatest threats, the Chosen Ones.

’Hehe~’

’No wonder they have such deep hostility towards me...’

"It’s a bit difficult to get along well with them..."

After realizing this, the silver-haired girl shook her head helplessly and sighed inwardly.

However,

The next moment, Mengxi’s face showed a hint of amusement as she twirled her hair around her finger thoughtfully.

After careful consideration, Mengxi decided not to share these judgments with Yumo.

Sister Yumo values those children and the people of the Black Rose family so much...

If she knew that she had been collectively fooled by them for so long, with her temperament, she would probably cry, right?

I don’t want to see Sister Yumo heartbroken.

Moreover,

I don’t like actions akin to tattling.

For now.

More importantly,

This matter might become a useful bargaining chip when I officially faces other Demon Kings in the future.

Thinking this, Mengxi’s lips curled into a slight smile.

Then, the silver-haired girl turned her gaze to the pink-haired girl sitting opposite her, her eyes filled with a friendly greeting.

Fortunately,

Not everyone around Sister Yumo is hostile to my existence.

This little cutie seems to like me quite a bit.

Although I am not quite clear on this child’s thought process, at least she has a ’comrade’ on the same side.

With a smile, Mengxi pushed her own dessert cake towards the little girl:

"Yuan’er, since you love cakes so much, this piece is for you~"

Her words were full of kindness.

In response,

The little girl didn’t hesitate to reply, but shyly and excitedly nodded her head repeatedly,

"Mm-hmm!!"

Then,

Yuan’er eagerly accepted the cake, happily cutting a piece and putting it into her mouth. Her cheeks puffed up from eating the cake, coupled with the cream at the corners of her mouth, made the already adorable Yuan’er look even more lovable and charming, like a delicate doll.

"How adorable."

Mengxi said genuinely, with a tone full of joy.

Since the old butler Sebastian seemed to have left the dining room in frustration, nobody was watching Yuan’er, who then generously shared her brilliant and sweet smile with Mengxi. Her innocent smile, like the sunshine of a spring day, instantly filled Mengxi with an indescribable warmth.

For a moment,

The atmosphere between them was surprisingly warm and cozy.

Meanwhile, Yumo, who witnessed this scene, revealed a trace of a relieved smile.

It seems,

Yuan’er and Mengxi are getting along quite well~

After all, her goal was to ensure that the children harmoniously coexist with the Girl of Destiny. Such a heartwarming scene was undoubtedly a delight for Yumo.

She hoped,

That the other children would also get along well with Mengxi.

If so,

’I would have no more worries…’

With this thought, Yumo unusually prayed in her heart.

After confirming that Mengxi and Yuan’er could coexist harmoniously, Yumo pensively turned her head and looked through the window towards the distant imperial capital of Anvika in the Red Lotus Leaf Empire.

Last night,

She had eliminated a powerful figure from the Holy Tower.

Although during the battle, she used ’Hell’s Abyss’ to envelop the battlefield, preventing the outside world from noticing such an earth-shattering fight, the man was undoubtedly a level 8 powerhouse. Unlike 6 or 7 level fighters, the mysterious disappearance of a level 8 powerhouse would surely cause a great stir.

’Considering this, was my decision to act against that mage a bit too rash? Should I have just let him observe freely?’

Unfortunately,

There’s no medicine for regret in the world,

Since it’s done, she could only think of ways to solve the aftermath...

Well,

’What’s done is done, it was bound to happen sooner or later, it’s just a matter of time, but...’

As if she thought of something, Yumo’s lips slightly curled up. A mischievous and slightly eerie smile appeared on the face of the black-haired beauty,

"I am somewhat curious."

A level 8 powerhouse just disappeared without a trace. What will those powerful beings concentrated in Anvika do next?

...

At the same time,

Inside the Embassy in the inner city of Anvika, where the Holy Tower’s strongmen are located.

*Boom!*

Accompanied by a terrifying surge of grey-silver magic, the walls cracked, and the windows shattered into pieces. Even the exquisite furniture specially prepared by the Red Leaf royal family was crushed into fragments under this wave of rampant magic.

Faced with such a terrifying pressure, two Holy Tower mages in the field of wind could no longer maintain their posture and knelt on the ground in fear, anxiously looking at the man in the black and gold robe in front of them.

"Very sorry, Lord Hakim... We have not yet been able to contact Lord Nolan."

Upon hearing this answer,

The man with grey-silver hair standing in front of the two mages became even more sullen. The terrifying aura and bone-chilling coldness caused the temperature in the room to plummet rapidly, making the two men, despite being at level 6 with robust physiques, shiver uncontrollably.

With a cold snort, Hakim spoke irritably:

"As attendants, you can’t even contact your own people?"

"Sorry, Lord Hakim."

The two mage attendants looked at each other, ultimately bowing their heads silently, not daring to meet Hakim’s cold gaze.

All they could do now was apologize.

"Worthless."

After muttering in displeasure, Hakim picked up his staff and walked towards the door.

This Holy Tower Supreme, who always appears indifferent, now had his grey eyes filled with unease and worry.

Since his colleague Nolan, went to investigate the Abyssal Demon girl in Luminous last night, nearly ten hours had passed. Yet, not only had he not received any reports, but he also couldn’t even establish contact with Nolan.

This gave rise to an ominous feeling in Hakim’s heart.

"Could it be that Nolan really met with some misfortune?"

Could the girl transformed from the Demon Temple be so terrifying?

Could it be that she even discovered and then killed Nolan, who excels at stealth?

Although he rarely communicated with Nolan, they were after all both Supremes of the Holy Tower, colleagues with a shared path. The disappearance of a colleague cannot leave Hakim indifferent. Carrying his exclusive staff, Hakim was ready to lead the Holy Tower mages to search for Nolan’s whereabouts.

However,

Just as Hakim was about to put on his cloak, a distinct aura suddenly entered his perceptual realm, causing the Heavenly Frost Star Hakim to feel a wave of surprise.

Under the puzzled gaze of the two attendants, Hakim suddenly stopped.

?!!

Huh?

This aura is?

Following the aura, Hakim quickly turned his head, looking towards the open window.

The next instant, under the embrace of lush emerald magic, a somewhat disheveled, handsome young man with flowing black hair and striking dark green highlights appeared, flying in through the window.

Seeing that familiar face, Hakim was first stunned, then immediately asked in confusion:

"Nolan?? What... what happened to you?"
