Abyssal Chronicles

Chapter 748 - 749 Yuan’er’s Journey p1

"I’m sorry Mengxi."

Looking at the silver-haired girl who fainted in her arms, Yumo spoke to herself with full of apologies.

Having spent a long time with Mengxi, Yumo had a thorough understanding of Mengxi’s mental strength, and thus Yumo rarely grasped the use of the shadow force to impact Mengxi’s spirit. It was a delicate task; if the force used was insufficient, it would not be possible to forcibly immerse Mengxi into a dream. But if the force was too strong, it could severely damage the spirit of the silver-haired girl.

Feeling Mengxi’s steady breathing and her almost completely unharmed soul, Yumo couldn’t help but let out a long sigh of relief.

"Sigh~"

Then, Yumo hugged Mengxi in a bridal style and slowly sat up from the wooden chair.

’Hmm’

’She Seems to have lost some weight?’

Feeling the weight of Mengxi in her arms, Yumo somewhat helplessly shook her head.

It seems that she has also put in a lot of effort for her plan recently. she had barely managed to fatten her up a bit before, and now she has slimmed down again.

’Sorry for not accepting your proposal, causing you to waste so much time in vain’

’In the future’

"Let’s compensate you if there’s a chance..."

For ignoring Mengxi’s will and knocking her out forcefully, Yumo always harbored a deep sense of guilt, after all, Yumo has always been accommodating and doesn’t like to force others. So much so that even after Mengxi had fainted, Yumo was still somewhat panickedly apologizing and comforting herself.

"Anyway, just sleep quietly for a while. When you wake up, everything will be over."

After carefully placing the silver-haired girl on the sofa, Yumo spoke in a soothing tone.

The next moment,

Yumo slowly bent down, moving Mengxi’s hair a little, and kissed her forehead lightly, like a dragonfly skimming the water.

A gentle force of shadow slowly rippled from the two girls,

As Yumo’s pink lips parted from Mengxi’s smooth forehead, a scarlet energy-drawn butterfly pattern gradually emerged on Mengxi’s forehead. However, the butterfly pattern quickly disappeared at a visible speed between Mengxi’s brows.

As if it had never appeared.

However,

After this kiss, Mengxi, who had been struggling a bit, instantly returned to calmness, a sweet and peaceful smile slowly appeared on the girl’s face.

The girl seemed to be experiencing a beautiful dream, enveloped in an unknown sense of happiness.

Seeing Mengxi’s expression completely relaxed, Yumo patted her chest as if relieved.

After this,

Several bloody butterflies gently fluttered beside Yumo, carrying with them a communication magic stone emitting a faint blue glow.

Soon, the magic stone entered a state of communication. From the other end, a voice filled with unease slowly reached Yumo’s ears:

"Miss Yu, Miss Yu? Are you looking for me?"

The voice was pleasant to the ear but constantly exuded a hint of fear.

Clearly, the person behind the voice harbored a deep fear of Yumo.

If Mengxi were still conscious, she would be surprised to find... The person behind this voice was none other than her best friend, one of the Apostle of Heaven - Bai, also known as Bai Yunluo.

Although Bai felt fear in response to Yumo’s summoning, out of concern for her friend, she couldn’t help but ask:

"Um, Miss Yu? Is Mengxi with you? I see it’s already so late tonight... Why hasn’t she returned..."

"Yes, she’s with me."

"Oh, then, will she not..."

"She won’t be returning. She’s very tired and has already fallen asleep."

"Tired?"

Upon hearing this, Bai was taken aback for a moment, then had an ’epiphany.’

As her brain involuntarily conjured up some R18-rated scenarios, the excited Bai couldn’t help but make some strange noises:

"Oh, oh, oh, I understand, I understand. As expected of Miss Yu, such vigor! Mengxi’s stamina is still not up to par~"

"Hm?"

As Bai’s words reached her ears, Yumo, who was aware of the other’s dirty thoughts, visibly hardened her gentle expression, and her pretty face instantly became stern.

The bloody butterflies began to stir, and the girl was gradually enveloped in invisible dark energy.

Glancing coldly at the communication magic stone, Yumo warned in a ’kind’ tone, ’gently’ saying:

"If you don’t stop your foolish fantasies, I’ll make you perform a striptease in public at tomorrow morning’s Sunrise Assembly under the sunlight."

"Ah?!"

In an instant, Bai suppressed the sensual fantasies in her mind, showing a panicked expression.

"I’m sorry, I’m sorry, Miss Yu! I, I thought too much."

"Mengxi is asleep because she used too much mental energy while practicing a technique to break through a bottleneck. It’s not what you think..."

’Although it might have been the case in the past, it definitely wasn’t today...’

"Yes, I understand, Miss Yu."

After being threatened by Yumo, Bai finally found her serious and proper self that had been missing for a long time.

"Then, Miss Yu, did you specifically seek me out to give any instructions?"

"Mengxi needs to recuperate here with me for a few days. Do you understand?"

"Recuperate? Yes, I understand."

Although Bai is often tricked by others, she sometimes shows good comprehension and quickly grasped Miss Yumo’s intention:

"In these few days, Mengxi will be in closed-door cultivation in the secret realm of the Sunlight base. She won’t have time to interact with the outside world. The work of the Sunlight unit will temporarily be handed over to her deputy, the Apostle of Heaven Bai Yunluo."

"Good, as long as you know what to do. Don’t attract attention."

"Understood, Miss Yu."

...

...

After a brief exchange with Bai, Yumo crushed the communication magic stone in her hand.

Almost at the same moment, the tightly closed door slowly opened, and a delicate little girl carefully peeked her head through the crack, observing the situation inside the room with her sparkling, heterochromatic eyes.

Clearly, the visitor at the door of Yumo’s boudoir was our beloved Yuan’er.

In fact, Yuan’er had arrived at Yumo’s door quite early, but as a well-behaved and obedient child, she naturally wouldn’t rush into the room and interrupt her mother’s work. Instead, she sat quietly outside the door, interacting with little Meliora turned dragon doll in her arms, patiently waiting for her mother to finish her work.

Just now, after hearing that her mother had finished the conversation, the little girl cautiously pushed open the door and peeked inside.

Yumo, upon seeing Yuan’er’s arrival, naturally greeted her with a smile and waved to the little girl.

Seeing this, Yuan’er immediately showed a pure and bright smile and bounced into Yumo’s arms, fully enjoying the warm embrace of her mother:

"Hehe, Mommy, hug~"

"Mm~, such a good girl. Sorry to make you wait so long."

"It’s okay Mommy. I wasn’t bored since I had Meli with me~"

"Is that so? That’s good then~"

Yumo smiled warmly, unable to resist raising her hand to gently pinch her little daughter’s cheek. While doing so, Yumo also brought up another serious matter:

"By the way, Yuan’er."

"Hm? What’s up, Mommy?"

"Have you finished preparing for your trip to the Wind City?"

"Mm~! All done!"

Faced with this question, Yuan’er answered without hesitation. Moreover, the little girl excitedly pulled out a travel bag filled with small gifts from behind her back, proudly showing it to her mother:

"Not only that, but I’ve also prepared the gifts for Grandpa and Grandma!"

"Well done Well done~"

Yumo smiled softly, satisfied, and gently rubbed Yuan’er’s head. The little girl, enjoying the affection, bowed her head silently, basking in Yumo’s comforting touch.

"By the way, Yuan’er, can Mommy ask you for another favor?"

"A favor?"

Yuan’er blinked, curiously looking at her mother:

"What is it?"

"It’s actually quite simple. When you go to the Wind CITY, could you also take this big sister with you~"

Saying this, Yumo meaningfully pointed towards the silver-haired girl sleeping on the sofa not far away.

"Hm?"

Following Yumo’s pointing finger, Yuan’er turned her attention to the silver-haired girl lying asleep on the sofa.

"Sister Mengxi?"

The puzzled little girl stepped forward slowly, poked Mengxi’s face with her hand, and seeing no response from her, she tilted her head in confusion and cast her questioning gaze towards Yumo.

"What’s wrong with Sister Mengxi?"

"She’s just very tired and has fallen asleep. Once her soul’s strength recovers a bit, she’ll naturally wake up," Yumo explained softly while stroking Yuan’er’s head.

"So, Mommy, you want me to take Sister Mengxi to the Wind City?"

"Yes, Mengxi wants to visit Wind City. Take her back with you. She’ll probably be very happy to find herself there when she wakes up."

"Ohhhhh ~"

The little girl nodded repeatedly and stood at attention on the spot, striking a very cute salute pose.

"Mission guaranteed!"

"Hehe, you little one~"

Seeing her daughter’s endearing actions, Yumo couldn’t help but smile indulgently and patted Yuan’er’s head affectionately.

And how about Yuan’er?

Naturally, she was quite excited, her eyes filled with anticipation when looking at Mengxi.

After all, In the simple mind of Yuan’er, taking Mengxi back to the North meant bringing Mengxi home~

’Since Mommy was willing to take Sister Mengxi home, it meant that their relationship must have become very close~!’
