Abyssal Chronicles

Chapter 679 - 680: The Reluctant Mengxi

"Maintain a girl’s state? Permanently?"

"Yes."

"So, you mean, all the time, I... I should be a girl?"

"Yes, exactly, that’s what I mean."

"Huh?!"

Hearing this, Asar’s face instantly flushed, and a reluctant expression suddenly appeared on her pretty face.

Considering that Mengxi was so pure, beautiful, kind-hearted, responsible, and like her, chosen by the Goddess to save the world, Asar had already decided in her heart to obediently follow Mengxi’s arrangements.

However, upon learning that the other party wanted her to maintain a girl’s state for a long time, Asar couldn’t help but feel resistance.

After all, she is the Son of Destiny, a real man.

Being disguised as a girl was already reluctant enough, and now she’s being asked to maintain a girl’s state all the time?

In that case,

What about bathing, using the toilet, changing clothes? It was bearable for a few hours before, but what about maintaining a girl’s state all the time?

"Are you, are you serious?"

"Yes."

Mengxi said decisively, and touched Asar’s forehead with her finger, showing a very serious expression.

"Anyway, considering the situation inside the church, and your identity as a member of the Black Rose family, it’s unrealistic to think of bringing you over in the short term. Forcing you to ’disappear’ would also alert the enemy. So, although I don’t want to, at this stage, you still have to stay with the Black Rose. Your disguise is perfect, but to deceive Miss Yu and hide your identity as the Son of Destiny, maintaining a female body state is essential. It not only hides your gender but also suppresses the unique aura of a Chosen One."

"But, but…"

"No buts!"

Mengxi spoke with an irrefutable tone, emphasizing again:

"Think about it, if your situation as a boy is exposed, what will happen? How come a girl suddenly became a boy? The Black Rose will definitely check your body, and then won’t your identity as the Son of Destiny be exposed? Once exposed, won’t you be captured and fed to Demons? You don’t want to die so miserably, right?"

"Yes."

On this point, Asar could not deny and awkwardly lowered her head.

"Besides, didn’t you just say you would listen to me? I just assigned you one task, and you don’t want to cooperate?"

"No, it’s not that! I…"

With a resigned sigh, Asar nodded her head in acceptance:

"I understand. It’s just…"

"What?"

"That pill is very expensive… I only have one left now."

"You don’t need to worry about that. I will help you figure out the money issue."

"Really? But isn’t the Church in financial crisis after the attack on the church by the Sword Demon and Higanbana?"

"Ah... no matter the crisis, we still have the money for a few pills. The Church isn’t as poor as you think."

Besides,

’Even if there’s no money, I has many ways to get some...’

After pondering about her classmates, the Elven princess Shaina, and the Dragon prince Gari, Mengxi couldn’t help but raise her eyebrows with a playful look on her face.

She has plenty of naive and wealthy people around her~

"So the money issue, I’ll take care of it. Asar, you just need to be obedient."

"Understood."

Asar pouted and nodded continuously.

"Good, very obedient."

Seeing Asar so docile, Mengxi’s stunningly beautiful face gradually revealed a sweet and captivating smile. She gently patted Asar’s shoulder and encouraged her softly:

"You can do it. Just hold on for a while longer. Once I fully control Sunlight Squad, or officially become the Saintess of the Church, I’ll find a way to bring you to the Church. In the meantime, continue to serve as Miss Yu’s maid. However, try to keep your distance from her as much as possible to reduce the likelihood of exposure. For the maid’s duties, you can mainly delegate them to the other personal maid, that girl ’Wanya’ should be willing to accept."

"..."

The blue-haired girl didn’t speak but just kept nodding somewhat woodenly.

...

In the next few minutes, Mengxi continued to instruct Asar on many matters that she needed to be aware of, and Asar herself remained obediently nodding her head.

She seemed quite cooperative.

Seeing that the Son of Destiny no longer had any objections, Mengxi’s purple eyes, full of goodwill, gradually filled with a deep and strange gleam. Even when Asar lowered her head to think and take notes, the disdainful look that Mengxi couldn’t suppress anymore surged onto her face.

’Hehe, so easy to handle’

Mengxi mumbled to herself coldly.

The youth in front of her...

Ah no, it should be said she’s a girl.

This girl, although the Son of Destiny, seems to be pure-hearted, naive, and ignorant due to just arriving in this world... entirely unlike the cunning and insidious Xue Tianao. Just a few words, and she was completely swayed by her.

’I thought I had to be so careful, it seems I was overcautious.’

But anyway,

’This should temporarily hide his true identity’

After saying so much,

Mengxi’s only goal was to conceal the existence of the Son of Destiny.

In Mengxi’s view, she and Yumo’s relationship could develop so well largely because Yumo had no choice. Yumo wanted to cultivate a Chosen One and could only choose between her or the Son of Destiny. After the fiasco with Xue Tianao, Yumo could only choose her.

’What if Yumo knew there was another Son of Destiny?’

’Would my position in Yumo’s heart decline?’

Although,

This is just Mengxi’s somewhat overthinking speculation. Considering Yumo’s character, she wouldn’t abandon her to choose a new Son of Destiny.

But...

Maybe it’s just emotional thinking running wild, Mengxi just doesn’t want the Son of Destiny to appear in front of Yumo, even if the chance of them ’competing’ for Yumo’s attention is almost zero.

’I… really don’t want Yumo to pay attention to others...’

As Mengxi briefly imagined the scene of her Yumo teaching the Son of Destiny magic, a surge of fiery jealousy erupted in her mind.

There should only be one Chosen One, and that’s her.

Honestly, after confirming Asar’s identity, Mengxi even had an impulsive urge to kill Asar. Fortunately, rational thinking ultimately made her abandon this crazy idea. After all, killing her nominal partner for such a reason was not Mengxi’s style. Furthermore, if the Son of Destiny dies and is replaced, why not keep this seemingly inexperienced and easily swayed individual under her control?

It’s better than having another intelligent and capable Son of Destiny popping up later, right?

Thinking this way, Mengxi suppressed her murderous intent and put on a mask of elegance and reliability, starting to sway Asar in a senior’s posture.

In fact,

Mengxi’s judgment was correct.

Even more so,

This Son of Destiny was even easier to handle than she had imagined. She gained his trust with just a few words, it was almost too easy.

The difficulty was not much different from when she first swayed Yumo.

However,

’Speaking of her...’

At that moment, the image of the beautiful black-haired young lady came to Mengxi’s mind.

While comforting Asar, Mengxi glanced in the direction of the teachers’ apartments with a mix of emotions. Previously, Yumo had taken Asar to her room for a private chat, presumably to avoid making Asar shy. From Yumo’s expression when she came out and Asar’s current performance, it seemed that Yumo hadn’t realized Asar’s true identity.

Otherwise, She would certainly have excitedly shared the news with her.

’Well,’

’How to put it?’

’While it was good that Sis hadn’t discovered Asar’s identity as the Son of Destiny, I can’t feel happy about it.’

After all,

This Son of Destiny wasn’t very bright.

Thinking about how such a person managed to deceive her Wife??

Mengxi’s heart twisted in frustration. She brought her hand to her forehead, her face, akin to a celestial beauty, filled with helplessness and bitterness, and a deep concern for her sister’s naivety.

’Sigh…’

Now that Yumo had already become her wife, it was time for Mengxi to think about how to make her wife a bit more astute...
