Abyssal Chronicles

Chapter 677 - 678: Complicated Feelings

’Huh?’

’Something doesn’t seem quite right?’

Feeling the sudden drop in temperature around her and the heavy atmosphere, Asar suddenly had a bad feeling and turned her puzzled gaze towards the silver-haired girl in front of her.

Logically speaking,

Meeting a fellow Chosen One like herself, Mengxi should be happy, right?

After all,

Another Chosen One means additional strength, another hope in the battle against the abyssal forces. Although her current strength isn’t satisfactory, her future potential is limitless, right?!

Why,

Why has her expression become so terrifying?!

Facing Mengxi’s increasingly cold eyes, Asar couldn’t help but gasp.

Should she say it or not,

If Asar had paid more attention to Mengxi in the apartment instead of focusing all her attention on the black-haired girl, she wouldn’t have missed observing anything.

Right,

Mengxi’s mood at this moment is not good at all.

Upon seeing Asar appearing in front of her in a rush and admitting her identity as the Son of Destiny, Mengxi’s mood plummeted to freezing point. The gentle and considerate Saintess in front of others had turned into an ice-cold beauty emitting chill and murderous intent.

"You are... A boy..."

Biting her teeth, Mengxi’s eyes flashed with intense coldness, and... a hint of barely noticeable jealousy.

Ever since Yumo had squatted down to comfort Asar, Mengxi had felt a bit annoyed. And after learning that this blue-haired girl was Yumo’s maid, who would also serve Yumo in bathing and dressing, Mengxi’s inner anger grew.

Upon seeing Asar for the first time and sensing the distinct aura on her, Mengxi had suspected that Asar might be the Son of Destiny. But the idea of the Son of Destiny becoming a maid of the Black Rose family was too unbelievable, making Mengxi doubt her own judgment for a while.

In the end, she left Yumo’s apartment with uneasy emotions.

And now?

Asar had run up to her and admitted her identity?

The Son of Destiny?!

’Although she looks cute, this guy is a man?! A man becoming Yumo’s personal maid?! wtf!!’

Honestly,

Mengxi was indeed a very pure being, but after reading the enlightening books given by Bai, the Girl of Destiny’s mind started having some strange thoughts from time to time.

The thought of the Son of Destiny possibly taking advantage of her Yumo, leading to the legendary Minotaur scenario, enveloped Mengxi in a dark and cold aura.

Of course, the most important thing is, what is this guy’s purpose in getting close to Yumo? The Chosen Ones are beings who oppose the abyssal forces. Such a person mixing in with the Black Rose family definitely has ulterior motives!

Realizing this, Mengxi’s holy power began to stir inside her.

"Hehe~, the Son of Destiny you say… I really didn’t expect that~"

After a moment of silence, Mengxi said with a chuckle.

Although she was smiling,

But Asar, who is usually a bit slow to catch on, unexpectedly noticed the ill intent hidden within Mengxi’s smile. At this moment, Asar involuntarily shivered, and cold sweat slowly slid down her cheeks.

"Miss... Miss Mengxi?!"

’Why, why are you looking at me like that?’

’Shouldn’t you be happy to see me, a fellow comrade? Why are you showing such a cold gaze?’

’Did I, Did I say something wrong again?’

...

Instinctively, Asar mobilized the magic within her body, adopting a defensive stance. Her intuition told her that the Girl of Destiny harbored no goodwill towards her.

It must be said that Asar’s judgment this time was quite accurate.

But what good is being right in this situation?

Mengxi’s strength has reached level 8, far beyond what Asar, a mere level 4 novice could hope to compare with. In the face of absolute power, Asar’s vigilance was meaningless. And in the next moment, Asar experienced this truth firsthand.

The next moment,

Just as Asar was about to speak, attempting to use kind words to ease the hostility, the silver-haired girl’s hand suddenly moved towards her like swift lightning, rapidly enlarging in Asar’s eyes!

’?!’

’Huh?!’

Accompanied by a flash of silver-white light, before the nearby students and campus guards could even react, Mengxi, having released her holy power, grabbed Asar and disappeared from the spot in a flash of light.

Leaving behind only a scorched patch on the ground and bewildered onlookers.

"??"

"What? What just happened? Where did those two go??"

...

The captured Asar felt dizzy, and after a flash of white light, the scenery around her changed drastically.

Just moments ago, she was on the open ground of the sports field, talking to Mengxi,

And now?

She was suddenly brought by Mengxi to a secluded, dark grove.

’What’s going on? Where is this place?’

Asar had no idea what had just happened.

At this moment, her only feeling was shock.

’To move at such high speed with me, Mengxi’s strength must be even greater than I had imagined. The intensity of the aura released by Mengxi just now was probably not much weaker than that of the Black Rose Knight Order’s commander. Has her senior already reached the 8th level?!’

However,

Shocked as she may be,

Asar now faced another serious problem.

After being forcibly teleported by Mengxi, the rapid movement caused a storm in Asar’s stomach, and a strong sense of nausea surged up. Normally, Asar might have spewed out a rainbow...

But now,

Being tightly choked by Mengxi against a tree, Asar didn’t dare to let it out.

The sharp gaze of the silver-haired girl seemed to warn her that if she dared to vomit, the other would slay her with a sword. Glancing at the silver energy-converging sword in Mengxi’s hand, Asar gasped and forcefully swallowed the gastric juice back down.

’My goodness’

’What on earth is happening?’

To be honest, Asar’s heart was somewhat breaking. The Black Rose family she had painstakingly sought refuge with turned out to be the enemy... It was hard enough to escape to Anvika to meet the Girl of Destiny, and then she ended up being choked by her? And now, it seems her life is even in danger?!

Thinking this, the ’destined Son of Destiny’ Asar couldn’t help but feel utterly aggrieved.

.·°?(???)?°·.

What the heck...

’Could it really be because I was too lazy before, and now I’m being punished by the Goddess? ’

Honestly, Asar felt like she wanted to cry but had no tears.

Facing the icy gaze of the silver-haired girl, Asar spoke with a sense of grievance.

"Miss... Miss Mengxi... What, what’s going on? Did I... Did I do something wrong?"

She truly couldn’t figure out what she had done to provoke the Girl of Destiny.

’Why did she become so violent just because I admitted my identity?’

While Asar was struggling with these thoughts, Mengxi coldly questioned her:

"What is your purpose in approaching Yum... No, in approaching Miss Yu?"

"Purpose?"

Stunned by this question, Asar was at a loss.

The black-haired girl is the actual mastermind and the greatest threat to humanity, so why in the eyes of the Girl of Destiny did she become the scheming one?! Isn’t she, after all, the Son of Destiny? Is my image really that bad?

Asar’s heart felt like it was shattering under Mengxi’s interrogating words.

"Answer me! What is your purpose in approaching my sister?! If you don’t come clean, I’ll strangle you!"

Seeing Asar not responding, Mengxi increased the pressure on her fingers, choking Asar to the point of difficulty in breathing.

Feeling the threat to her life, Asar shook her head in panic.

To be honest, In recent days, it seems she’s had too many close calls with death...

"No, no! I don’t, I don’t have any ulterior motives! Really, I don’t!"

"No ulterior motives? Who would believe you?! You, the Son of Destiny, disguised as a girl and infiltrating the Black Rose family, getting close to Miss Yu, and you say you have no purpose? Who are you trying to fool!"

"No, it’s not like that! Really, it’s not!"

Asar kept defending herself.

Even due to the overwhelming feeling of injustice, Asar’s eyes reddened,

When one cannot hold back anymore, they simply can’t.

Although Asar knew that as a boy, especially as the Son of Destiny, he shouldn’t cry easily, but at this moment, he could no longer control his tear ducts. Tears of humiliation uncontrollably rolled down his cheeks.

In an instant,

The sound of a girl’s crying echoed through the woods.

"Ahhhh, I really have no ulterior motives! I came to the Black Rose simply to survive, just to have a food to eat! I just wanted to find a home! I have no malice, Waaah... I didn’t even want to get close to Miss Yu, I was just... just forcibly brought here!"

"..."

Seeing Asar crying like a rain-soaked pear blossom, Mengxi’s eyes started to twitch uncontrollably.

’This Son of Destiny, seems a bit different from what I had imagined?’

Moreover,

Glancing at Asar’s full chest, slender waist, and long white legs, Mengxi’s expression became even more complicated.

’Those breasts seem real, and even bigger than Yumo?’

’Is this guy really the Son of Destiny? And such a crybaby? Completely lacking the demeanor of a world savior...’

’Choosing such a person as the Chosen One?’

’Is this a joke from the Goddess?’
