Abyssal Chronicles

Chapter 723 - 724: The Excited Wolf Cub

"Ahhhhhh … so boring…"

At this moment, in a quiet little grove within the Black Rose family’s territory.

A white-haired girl wearing an expensive royal court dress, looking charming and lovely, was resting here.

Although the girl appeared to be an elegant young lady, her actions were completely devoid of grace.

At this moment,

The girl was leisurely lying on the grass, her long, fair legs joyfully swinging. With the movement of her legs, her skirt fluttered about, indiscreetly revealing more than intended~

At this time, the etiquette instructors of the Black Rose, several bigwigs, were not present. Otherwise, they would have been infuriated by the girl’s behavior to the point of a brain hemorrhage.

And lamenting what sins they must have committed in their past lives to be saddled with such a problematic student this time around.

Clearly,

This adorable girl with white hair, red eyes, and a pair of fluffy ears is our little friend, Limo.

Due to an important meeting organized by the Black Rose family’s higher-ups today, including Limo’s teachers, the wolf girl gets to enjoy a rare morning without constraints, leisurely and freely.

Normally,

Limo’s favorite thing to do when relaxing was to transform into her giant wolf form and find a comfortable spot to snugly lie down and sleep. However, because she was wearing an expensive dress, the current Limo dared not revert to her original form.

If I burst out of her clothes, that meanie Xiao would definitely lecture and stuff me with a bunch of math problems to wail over…

As for transforming into a smaller wolf form? It was possible, but considering she had no clue how to dress herself afterward, Limo decided against it.

So, she just lay there in her skirt, behaving herself on the ground.

While lying down, Limo couldn’t help but gaze towards the distant north.

"Sob*, I wonder how Liyu is doing…"

’My little sister was always under my "care" day and night. Now that I wasn’t around, could Liyu take care of herself…’

’Without my big tail to use as a blanket, wouldn’t Liyu catch a cold?’

Involuntarily, the wolf girl’s eyes shimmered with worry.

’Also… I miss Mommy…’

Thinking of that black-haired girl who always gently stroked her, Limo’s mood sank further, and she buried her head in her paws.

As for her sister Liyu, they still occasionally chatted through the communication magic stone.

But as for her mother… it had been a long time since she heard her voice.

Limo couldn’t shake off the feeling that Xiao seemed rather unwilling for her to speak with her mother.

Thinking this, Limo pouted, her crimson eyes brimming with tears, looking pitiful.

"Mom… I miss you…"

Over the past few years, or rather, since Limo was born, she had never left Yumo. Even when going out to hunt, she would typically only venture to the edge of the Winter Forest.

At night, she would definitely return to Demon Temple, falling asleep under the soothing presence of Yumo.

This was the first time she had been away from her mother for several months.

Not only could she not feel her mother’s presence, but she also couldn’t hear her mother’s sweet voice.

"Wuu wuu, this feels terrible..."

The wolf girl’s ears gradually drooped down, showing her deep sense of loss.

Without a doubt, the wolf cub missed her mother...

’I want to hug mommy, I am in need of replenishing mommy’s energy (?_?)’

...

Even, a terrifying thought gradually surfaced in Limo’s mind.

’Why did mommy leave me in Sabelius and not communicate with me?’

’Could it be she doesn’t want me anymore?!’

’Wuuuaaaaah, please anything but that! o(???)o’

’I can warm the bed, be cute! I have my uses! Don’t abandon me mommy...’

The more she thought this way, the more tears filled Limo’s eyes. The surrounding power of shadow also began to surge tumultuously.

However, just as Limo’s emotions were gradually becoming uncontrollable, a familiar red shadow suddenly appeared in Limo’s vision.

’?!’

’Hmm? What’s this?!’

In an instant, Limo shivered all over, swiftly sitting up from the ground, and hurriedly rubbed her eyes.

As the tears were wiped away, the blurry vision in front of her suddenly became clear.

Limo was overjoyed to discover that the red shadow was a beautifully dancing bloody butterfly!

What does a bloody butterfly signify? How could Limo not know?

"Mommy!!!"

Feeling the comforting and familiar aura surrounding the bloody butterfly, the wolf girl excitedly rushed to the butterfly’s side.

The depression on her face was swept away, replaced by an ecstatic smile.

’Mommy came to see her!’

’She hadn’t abandoned her!’

"Mom, I’ve missed you so much…"

Looking at the bloody butterfly in front of her, the wolf cub said pitifully.

But the bloody butterfly seemed to understand the wolf cub’s emotions too, slowly descending from the Skye, and resting atop Limo’s little head.

Though the bloody butterfly was so delicate and small, when it landed on the wolf girl’s head, Limo felt as if she truly experienced Yumo’s gentle touch.

For a moment, the wolf girl showed a blissfully happy smile, her tail excitedly darting out from under her skirt, swaying left and right. She also occasionally made happy "Meow~" sounds from her mouth.

Long missing her mother’s caress, Limo’s emotions quickly stabilized.

After replenishing a certain amount of Mommy’s energy, Limo, sitting on the ground, curiously asked the blood butterfly.

"Mom, why did you suddenly come here? Did you come to see me?"

The bloody butterfly fluttered its wings repeatedly, affirming Limo’s words.

This undoubtedly made the wolf cub even more excited.

"Hehe, I knew mommy loves me and wouldn’t abandon me~"

However, just as Limo was basking in her pride, the bloody butterfly once again floated in front of Limo’s eyes.

This time, a message was also transmitted to Limo’s mind through the bloody butterfly.

"Hmm? Mommy has other things to do?"

"Want to visit Xiao and the others? Yeah, yeah, I’ll take you to find them!"

"Hmm? Not go directly?... Sneak over?"

"Mom, are you planning to sneak over to see them because you’re worried about disturbing their work?"

Limo asked curiously, blinking.

But in response to her daughter’s inquiry, the bloody butterfly floated up and down, affirming Limo’s words once again. At the same time, another piece of mysterious communication was gently carried to Limo’s mind along with the surging power of shadow.

Watching the bloody butterfly dancing in the air, Limo nodded repeatedly.

After a moment,

Having taken a while to comprehend her mother’s words, Limo suddenly gasped in excitement.

"Wants me to take you there?!"

Knowing that her mother was asking for her help, Limo’s eyes sparkled with excitement, and she quickly raised her hands in a lively and playful gesture, as if saying ’yay, yay.’

Although Limo might seem a bit clueless on a regular day, she seemed to also understand that she was seen as a unreliable child in her mother’s eyes.

For this reason, Limo had always been trying her hardest to change this impression.

Otherwise, Limo wouldn’t have agreed to separate from her sister Liyu and come to the distant Sabelius to undergo Xiao’s education.

Thinking about her miserable life of attending classes every day without being able to eat in peace recently, Limo couldn’t help but start to cry, even feeling the urge to sneak back to the Winter Forest to hug her sister Liyu.

However,

’Now it seems!’

’My efforts have been worthwhile!’

’Mother actually asked for my help! It must be because my efforts have been recognized!’

With that in mind, ’I need to work even harder! Also, this time, I absolutely cannot let mother down!’

Thinking this,

The wolf girl immediately jumped up, energetically thumping her chest,

"I’ll take mom there right now! Xiao and Wanya seem to be holding some important meeting, and most of the Black Rose higher-ups are there! If we go now, mommy can see quite a few people hehe~"

"Right, mother can hide in my clothes! This way, Xiao and the others won’t notice you!"

Saying so, Limo picked up the blood butterfly and directly placed it among the folds of fat in front of her chest.

Afterward,

The wolf cub shook off her previous lethargy and bounced towards the Black Rose family’s main conference room?
