Abyssal Chronicles

Chapter 744 - 745: Sobbing

Actually, after meeting with Yumo, Sebastian’s heart had already begun to harbor a thread of doubt.

Why, after knowing that Sky City had made a move against them, did Yumo still remain so calm? Under normal circumstances, Yumo, who should have been completely unaware, would have been very surprised upon learning that Sky City, a top force on the continent, had targeted them.

Moreover,

’Lady Yumo even planned to return to the Luminous Royal Academy?’

This was after their previous action of evacuating Anvika. Yumo’s series of abnormal actions made Sebastian feel even more uneasy. Vaguely... he felt that the black-haired girl in front of him was no longer the simple and cute homebody girl who was easy to fool...

’Did Lady Yumo become smarter?’

’She’s aware of what’s about to happen??’

Sebastian had harbored this speculation early on. And now, Yumo’s behavior made Sebastian even more uneasy.

Lady Yumo not only spoke in a strange tone about the Duke’s work but even confiscated the communication device in my hand?

’Could it be, She really discovered us...’

’No, impossible?!’

’We’ve been so seamless... It’s impossible for Lady Yumo to notice. We’ve hidden it for so long, there’s no reason to be exposed at this critical moment?!’

Sebastian bit his lip, unwilling to believe the truth.

However,

Some things, he couldn’t help but believe.

Just when the old butler felt extremely conflicted, Yumo slowly squatted in front of Sebastian.

After confiscating his spatial ring, Yumo slowly took out a bottle of seemingly valuable potion and handed it to Sebastian.

Facing the gift from his Lady, Sebastian instinctively bowed his head in gratitude, then asked somewhat puzzledly:

"Lady Yumo, what is this?"

"This is a health potion given to me by the Dragon Queen, it can strengthen the body. I don’t need it anymore, but I feel this potion is quite suitable for you, little Sei~"

"The, the Dragon Queen??"

’Lady Yumo, has had contact with the Dragon Race?’

’When, when did this happen?! Why haven’t we received any news? What are the spies in the Dragon Race doing?!’

At this moment, Sebastian’s unease grew further, cold sweat began to stream down his forehead incessantly. In an extremely tense state, Sebastian couldn’t even maintain his prideful acting, and his facial expression started to look worse.

And just then,

The considerate Yumo even deliberately leaned in, bringing her little face close to the old butler’s ear, and whispered in her always gentle tone.

"Yes, it’s from the Dragon Queen who has a ’very good relationship with our Black Roses~’. A gift from an old friend, little Sei should cherish it. Also, little Sei should take this opportunity to improve his physical condition. Otherwise~ when it’s time to... spank, I’m afraid you won’t be able to withstand it~"

"!!!!!"

With these words, Sebastian’s heart took a direct hit, suffering tens of thousands of points of critical damage.

In an instant, Sebastian’s eyes trembled uncontrollably, his old face began to lose color at a visible rate. His heart raced uncontrollably, breathing rushed, as if suffocating.

The sky seemed to collapse, hard-hitting on the old butler’s shoulders, making him feel an unprecedented pressure and unease.

’It’s, it’s over,’

’Everything,’

’Everything’s completely over...’

Under immense pressure, his mind trembled, Sebastian’s legs weakened, and he sat down on the ground, entering a crashed state.

——

Watching Sebastian kneeling on the ground, lost in his thoughts, Yumo did not intend to tease him further. In fact, she had no plans to stay any longer. After all, there were still many matters awaiting her attention at the Luminous Royal Academy.

After confiscating the communication devices from all the members of the Black Rose as well as her own son’s, Yumo placed her hands on her hips, displaying a posture that suggested she had wrapped up the task at hand.

Why did she also confiscate Pierre’s communication device? The reason was simple.

Considering her own son’s intelligence was just barely higher than Limo’s, the likelihood of him being fooled by the Black Rose members was slightly higher...

To prevent Xiao from getting wind of the news in advance, Yumo had no choice but to do so.

Regardless,

’If I wanted to give the children a huge surprise~’

’I still needed to ensure secrecy~’

After giving her naive son a thorough explanation, Yumo, surrounded by bloody butterflies, transformed into a sky of crimson light spots and disappeared from the camp.

"Goodbye, mom~"

Pierre waved goodbye with a smile as he watched Yumo leave.

At this moment, Pierre’s face was filled with obedience, understanding, cuteness, and friendliness. However, as the crimson light spots completely vanished and he confirmed that his mother’s presence had disappeared from his perception, Pierre instantly exited his obedient mode, reined in his smile, and revealed a stern, commanding expression.

Standing tall with his hands crossed over his chest, he looked every bit the imposing boss.

Casting a glance at Sebastian kneeling on the ground, Pierre sneered disdainfully.

Although he was unclear about what Sebastian had done wrong, just knowing that he would receive a couple of light spankings and then become so frail?

"Tch~ What a noob"

’I, the greatest, have been spanked eighteen times in two days! And I haven’t said a thing...’

’And you haven’t even been hit yet?’

’And you’re already this cowardly?’

’No good, humans are just humans... too weak.’

For a moment, Pierre even felt a bit proud of himself for being spanked more times.

But it seemed normal, after all, Pierre always managed to find something to be smug about from some bizarre places, then inexplicably start feeling proud of himself...

After mocking Sebastian a few times, Pierre turned his gaze to a little girl with honey-colored hair playing with dolls on a stone not far away.

Before leaving, Yumo had fully briefed Pierre about the identity of the little girl, so although Pierre found it hard to believe at first, he quickly accepted the incredible fact that this harmless little girl was indeed his big sister.

And after a brief moment of shock, the corners of Pierre’s mouth couldn’t help but lift slightly.

Then...

The hard-won silence of the camp was abruptly shattered by Pierre’s roaring laughter.

"HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! A little girl??!! Big sis, you’ve actually turned into a little girl??!! HAHAHAHA, I’m dying Hahahaha, I can’t take it anymore hahahah! How did you turn into such a little brat?! HAHAHAHAHA, I can’t take it, my stomach hurts from laughing."

After taking a good look at Youlan, Pierre couldn’t help but burst into laughter.

Thinking back to the days when his imposing big sister always had the upper hand and took it upon herself to educate him every evening, Pierre felt an unprecedented joy at seeing her transformed into such a little girl. Even after a fit of laughter, Pierre hopped over to Youlan and smugly ruffled her head.

"Hehe, big sis, oh big sis, you’ve finally met your match~"

The feeling of having Youlan under his control with just a slap was too exhilarating for Pierre.

You see, back in the Cold Winter Forest, he was always at Youlan’s mercy! And now? He had turned the tables, taking his turn at the helm?

’The feeling of ’revenge’ is utterly thrilling, haha!’

’Could this be what they call karma?’

"Ah, you’ve become quite cute now, not bad at all. not bad at all. Quite cute hehehe~"

Patting her head wasn’t enough; Pierre even boldly started pinching Youlan’s tender cheeks. One hand wasn’t enough; he used both hands to treat Youlan like a doll, venting all the grievances of being ’bullied’ by his sister in one go.

"Hehe, I never thought Big Sis’s cheeks would be so tender~ Hmm? Wait a minute..."

Saying this, Pierre suddenly frowned, taking a closer look at the little girl with honey-colored hair in front of him. According to his mother, his big sister had lost her memories and even her intelligence had regressed, making her indistinguishable from a little child. Under these circumstances, could Youlan still be considered his big sister?

’This little brat, wouldn’t she more accurately be my little sister?’

’And, without a big sister, could I now be called ’eldest brother’?’

Eldest brother’! It’s ’Eldest’, not’second’~, which also feels quite nice. After all, been the second in the family always felt a bit off.

’Hehe~’

Thinking this, a flash of excitement passed through Pierre’s eyes, and he looked at the little girl with anticipation.

"Hey, little girl, call me ’big brother’, Call me big bro fast~"

Youlan: "..."

Faced with such a request, the little girl fell silent, watching Pierre with a complex look in her eyes.

Of course, Pierre, who was never good at reading the room, failed to detect the undercurrent in Youlan’s gaze. Seeing the little girl’s disobedience, Pierre, patient as ever, started repeating himself like Tang Sanzang:

"Call me ’brother’, call me ’brother’, call me ’brother’! I’ll give you candy if you call me ’brother’, come on~ Be a good girl, come on ~, call me ’brother’~"

As the pinching continued, Youlan’s expression gradually darkened.

A vein popped on the little girl’s head.

...

After a while, under Pierre’s relentless nagging, the silent little loli finally reacted.

And in the next moment,

Under Pierre’s expectant gaze, the little honey-haired girl slowly raised her head.

But just when Pierre thought she was about to call him ’big brother’, the little girl suddenly pouted, her face fell, she sniffled, her eyes reddened, and she burst into tears, crying out loud,

"Waaaahhhh?????:"

Pierre: "Huh???!!!"
