Abyssal Chronicles

Chapter 670 - 671: The Peculiar Maid

Just a few seconds earlier,

Sebastian watched the closed door of Yumo’s room upstairs.

He had hoped that little Yuan’er would stay with Yumo to keep an eye on her, but unexpectedly, Yuan’er had taken the little white dragon out to play?!

’Darn it!’

’Can’t she be more reliable?!’

Although a bit embarrassed, Sebastian couldn’t help but feel the urge to categorize little Yuan’er and Limo together.

With Yuan’er gone, Sebastian now had to face the threat of the Girl of Destiny alone.

Although he had reluctantly accepted what had happened between Yumo and Mengxi, he still couldn’t tolerate the thought of that little rascal being alone in a room with his noble Lady. Just thinking about what the two beautiful girls might be doing inside made Sebastian feel like he was being eaten alive by ants, in unbearable pain.

Eventually,

After a fierce internal struggle, Sebastian knocked on Yumo’s door, wanting to interrupt whatever was happening inside.

...

"Milady, the new servants arranged by Lord Xiao have arrived. Could you, perhaps, spare a moment to meet them?"

As Sebastian’s words came through the door, Yumo frowned.

Her mood to enjoy the company of her beauty instantly ruined.

Although a bit displeased with Sebastian’s untimely knocking, the generous Yumo ultimately chose not to scold the old butler, but rather asked helplessly,

"Is it that urgent?"

"Forgive me Milady, those children have traveled a long way and just arrived at Luminous. I thought it would be polite to let them visit you first, then take them to rest. Besides, Miss Wanya and the others really wanted to see you."

Sebastian’s voice drifted in from outside,

"Little Wanya?"

Recalling the little girl who cried and didn’t want to leave in the Winter Forest, a gentel look flashed across Yumo’s eyes.

Since it was the children she once cared for who came to find her, how could she refuse?

After meeting them, let them rest well.

They must be exhausted from the journey from Sadik to Red Leaf.

Anyway, the armor she had painstakingly crafted had already been delivered to Mengxi’s hands.

"I understand, let them wait for me in the living room."

With that said,

Yumo turned to meet Mengxi’s eyes, apologizing:

"Sorry, I need to visit the Black Rose family’s children first. You see..."

"It’s okay, Sister Yumo."

Mengxi waved her hand nonchalantly, smiling understandingly:

"They’ve come all the way here; you should spend some time with them first."

"Mm, thank you."

"It’s no need to be so formal, Sister Yumo, I won’t mind these things. But..."

"What’s the matter?"

"Can I come with you?"

Mengxi blinked her eyes, eagerly asking.

To this, Yumo first paused, then smiled and nodded:

"Yes, why not."

Anyway, Yumo’s main goal now is to make the relationship between Mengxi and her own children grow. Allowing her to interact more with the members of the Black Rose family would not be harmful.

Moreover,

This girl is so clingy, she will probably come here often in the future. It’s essential to introduce Mengxi and the newly arrived children and get them familiar.

"So Mengxi, come with me."

"Mm-hmm, got it!"

Mengxi showed a sweet smile and affectionately reached forward to hold Yumo’s hand.

Yumo just smiled indulgently and then led Mengxi towards the guest room.

...

A few minutes later, the door of the guest room was slowly opened by Sebastian.

Under the butler’s escort, Yumo, accompanied by Mengxi, entered the guest room.

"It’s been a long time, Lady... Yumo!!"

Upon seeing the beautiful and familiar silhouette, a brown-haired maid sitting on the sofa, with a lovely face, immediately showed a look of ecstasy and excitedly jumped up. She briskly yet gracefully approached Yumo, bowing respectfully on one knee.

"It’s been a long time, Wanya."

The image of the young child from her memory quickly overlapped with the young woman before her. Seeing the once teary-eyed little girl grown into a graceful young lady, Yumo couldn’t help but smile with satisfaction and habitually reached out to gently stroke the maid’s head.

The latter, like a pet facing its master, obediently lowered her head and joyfully enjoyed Yumo’s affection.

"Yes, it’s been a long time, Milady!"

"Why did you suddenly come over?"

"Didn’t the Abyssal Demon invasion incident cause a few family members to get injured? I came over to take over their work. Besides, their vacation is about to end, so they should take a break, right?"

"That’s true. It’s just a pity that I couldn’t say goodbye to them. But it’s nice to see you, little girl."

"Hehe~"

At this moment, Wanya, with imaginary cute bunny ears popping up on her head, wiggled under Yumo’s caresses.

While being caressed, the girl named Wanya noticed the silver-haired girl Yumo was holding hands with. As a member of the ’Nightingale’ organization, trained professionally, Wanya instantly recognized Mengxi’s identity. Realizing their great Lady was holding hands with the damned Girl of Destiny, a flicker of murderous intent flashed imperceptibly in Wanya’s eyes.

However,

The murderous intent was fleeting, but with Mengxi’s current reaction ability, she did not miss it.

’Sigh... a long way to go.’

Mengxi maintained her charming and sweet smile on the surface, but inwardly she sighed helplessly.

’It seems that the attitude of the Black Rose family members towards me is all the same’

’Hoping to establish a good relationship with them fast, I was too naive.’

Mengxi bitterly self-mocked in her heart.

However,

Just as the silver-haired girl was continuously sighing inwardly, her eyebrows suddenly furrowed.

She felt an unusual gaze.

Unlike the members of the Black Rose family who showed a façade of warm hospitality but actually harbored malicious intentions, this gaze contained an indescribable delight, admiration, and... hope??

’Hmm?’

’Who would look at me with such eyes?’

In confusion, the silver-haired girl stealthily tilted her head, glancing past Wanya to focus on the blue silhouette sitting on the sofa. The instant Mengxi laid eyes on this figure, her heart skipped a beat, and her pale purple eyes showed an unprecedented look of shock.

At that moment,

A young ’girl’ wearing the traditional maid attire of the Black Rose family and braided pigtails sat somewhat awkwardly on the sofa. The shyness and timidity on her face made her stand out starkly from the other members of the Black Rose family, known for their imposing and deadly aura.

The girl had a slender figure, fair skin, and a full chest.

Her impeccably beautiful features were delicately arranged into a stunning visage. Additionally, her gem-like, bright red eyes were lively, as if possessing a soul-captivating magic, elevating her beauty even further.

Of course, the girl’s appearance was not the main point, nor was it enough to elicit Mengxi’s slightly startled expression. What really surprised Mengxi was the aura emanating from the blue-haired girl...

An aura that faintly resonated with her own.

’No, it can’t be...’

...

On the other side, after rubbing Wanya’s head, Yumo also noticed the blue-haired girl sitting on the sofa. Surprised to see an unfamiliar face, Yumo quickly composed herself, regaining her calm demeanor.

’This child…’

’A newcomer?’

Looking at the somewhat nervous blue-haired girl, Yumo showed her usual affectionate demeanor and gently asked:

"Little girl, who are you?"

"Ye-yes!!"

Startled by Yumo’s greeting, the blue-haired girl jerked, then somewhat flusteredly stood up from the sofa, immediately placing her hands on her thighs and standing at attention like a soldier. Due to her nervousness, her speech became somewhat stilted.

"Sorry! I, I’m out of line! I... I... I was sent by Lady Wanya to... to serve Lady Yumo as... as an intern maid! You, you can call me Asar!"
