Abyssal Chronicles

Chapter 812 - 813: Why Do I Feel a Little Bit Cheated?!

Sorry for my absence; I was unwell and needed some rest. I will post all the delayed chapters today. Thank you again for your patience.

"Ah!? Do... do you want me to treat your injuries?"

The black-haired girl frowned, looking at Mengxi with great reluctance.

It made no sense. She was the Lord of the Abyss, a merciless killer, even towards the Girl of Destiny. It would be more reasonable for her to finish off the Girl of Destiny rather than treat her injuries.

’Why should I help my enemy? I am not like that fool who blindly followed the Saintess and aided the chosen one at every turn.’

Killing the chosen one is one thing,

But saving them?

What a joke?

...

Mengxi clearly saw the black-haired girl’s reluctance and the word unwillingness was plainly written all over her exquisite face.

Mengxi then gave a "so it is" look of disappointment and glanced down, dispirited: "Still suppressing your strength. Keeping me in a heavily injured state is just bullying. And you talk about fairness? You’re such a hypocrite..."

Unafraid of angering the black-haired girl, Mengxi openly mocked her. "If you don’t want a fair fight, just kill me. Stop dilly-dallying."

"You little girl...." The black-haired girl’s brows furrowed, and her veins popped out, but her heart was caught in an indescribable dilemma.

Eventually, after taking a deep breath, the black-haired girl made a decision.

’Sigh, fine, I’ll teach you a lesson later for being so ignorant and arrogant. But for now...’

"Alright," the black-haired girl reluctantly agreed.

’Although I scoffed at that fool’s actions in the past, I am now doing the same thing. Even though I am extremely unwilling, this is an undeniable fact. What irony...’

And so, surprisingly, the black-haired girl knelt down next to Mengxi. As expected, she frowned.

’Killing was one thing, but saving someone? How does one go about that?’

In her confusion, the black-haired girl asked Mengxi in a frustrated tone, "How do I treat your injuries? What do I need to do?"

A subtle glint flashed in Mengxi’s eyes upon hearing this, but she quickly masked it with an expression of disdain. "Not even knowing how to heal or care for someone, you really are pathetic, nothing at all like my Yumo’s wisdom and kindness."

"Pathetic?... Wise and kind?"

The black-haired girl’s eyebrows twitched even more.

A strong sense of competitiveness arose within her, refusing to accept anyone being better than her.

But,

After a moment of thought, the black-haired girl seemed to accept the critique and became less bothered. As the Abyssal Lord, her duty was to slaughter or infect countless beings, not to care for them.

’So what if I don’t know how to treat people? Being virtuous isn’t my responsibility.’

’Hmph.’

’Never mind, it doesn’t matter. There’s no need to dwell on it.’

After accepting this idea, the black-haired girl’s expression gradually calmed, and she even humbly asked the Girl of Destiny, "Then, how would you like me to treat you?"

"Use the Tears of Nature... in my spatial ring."

"Hmm?"

Upon hearing this, the black-haired girl turned her attention to Mengxi’s slender fingers.

The next moment,

A Bloody Butterfly delivered Mengxi’s spatial ring to the black-haired girl, who quickly dispelled the restrictions within the ring and probed it with her consciousness. She frowned,

Because when she was searching inside the ring,

There were many things that seemed off for a saint like her to have...

However, after some internal monologuing, the black-haired girl soon extracted a crystal-clear, large wine barrel, following Mengxi’s instructions. And upon seeing this wine barrel, the black-haired girl fell into a brief silence. This was because the barrel was not filled with ordinary wine but with the extremely rare Tears of Nature...

A whole barrel of Tears of Nature, likely more than the Elf tribe’s output in five years.

’How did she obtain it?’

’Should I say as expected from the Girl of Destiny?’

Indeed, there were many treasures... After a brief internal exclamation, the black-haired girl directly opened the wine barrel and poured the Tears of Nature over Mengxi’s body in a manner that would make the elves wail and cry—a luxurious method that was indescribable.

Undoubtedly,

The elves’ holy medicine had remarkable effects.

Under the glow of the emerald green light, the hideous wounds on Mengxi’s delicate body began to heal at a visible rate. The external injuries that had been inflicted by the black-haired girl’s power were instantly restored to their original state.

Seeing this, the black-haired girl was quite satisfied. "That should do it, right? You’re completely healed now, aren’t you?"

Unexpectedly, what she was met with were still Mengxi’s rolling eyes.

"Are you stupid or something..."

"What did you just call me?! Who are you calling stupid?!" The black-haired girl frowned, immediately refuting the unexpected insult to her intelligence.

However, Mengxi’s response left her speechless.

"The Tears of Nature are indeed very effective at healing physical injuries, but they’re only so-so when it comes to healing the soul. My soul was severely injured just now from the backlash of the miracle. Even if my body is healed, I still won’t be able to get up."

"Oh…"

’That…’

’Seemed to make sense…’

After thinking about it carefully, the black-haired girl remained silent. After all, Mengxi had a point, and her soul was indeed very weak at the moment, so she accepted her explanation.

"Then, how do you plan to heal your soul?"

"There’s a golden potion in the ring that contains dragon crystal liquid, which can restore soul power…"

"Hmm? Is this it?"

Since the golden potion was very conspicuous, the black-haired girl quickly took it out from the spatial ring.

However, just as the black-haired girl was about to hand the potion to Mengxi and let her take it herself, Mengxi stopped her with all her might, using a weak voice. "Feed it to me…"

"Huh?"

Hearing this, the black-haired girl was stunned for a moment, and then her brows began to twitch as she looked at Mengxi with a complex expression.

’Was this Girl of Destiny for real?’

’Had she forgotten her identity?’

’And why am I treating her like a nanny?’

"Excuse you!? Me, feeding you? Are you joking?"

To this, Mengxi explained calmly:

"Look at my situation. Can I drink it myself? My soul is so weak that it’s almost disconnected from my body... I even find it difficult to move my tongue and fingers... I can’t open the potion’s seal."

As she spoke, Mengxi’s breath became weaker and weaker, and her entire soul power seemed to be withering.

"Sigh."

Seeing this, the black-haired girl didn’t dare to say more. Instead, she very reluctantly moved step by step towards Mengxi.

The thought of being forced to take care of this gril, doing something as foolish as that idiot, made her feel depressed. She felt as if she was being manipulated by the other party without realizing it.

However, after biting her lip for a while, the black-haired girl let it go.

’After all, this Girl of Destiny will only be ’arrogant’ for a while. Once she has recovered, I will mercilessly show this naive girl that even with equal brute strength, she is far from being my match.’

’Giving her another chance,’

’Giving her hope,’

’And then mercilessly taking it away.’

’What kind of expression will this girl show at that time?’

The black-haired girl’s lips curled up slightly, and a hint of anticipation overflowed from her scarlet eyes.

With this anticipation, the black-haired girl suppressed her displeasure, knelt down slowly next to Mengxi, and then, with a snap of her finger, shattered the seal of the potion and leaned closer to Mengxi, preparing to pour the potion into her mouth.

"Here, the medicine is here. You should at least have the strength to open your mouth, right?"

However, as she spoke, the black-haired girl was stunned.

Because, she found that not only did this Girl of Destiny have the strength to open her mouth, but she even had the strength to move her hands?!

The next moment, under the slightly startled gaze of the black-haired girl, Mengxi’s hands, which had been weak and powerless due to the depletion of her soul power, suddenly lifted with the empowerment of silver-white holy energy and directly cupped the black-haired girl’s face.

"?!?!"

’What, what is this girl doing?!’
