Abyssal Chronicles

Chapter 829 - 830: Farewell

3/5

"Sister, no, don’t go..."

?!

Huh?!

As this voice entered her ears, Yumo was stunned for a moment, and her ruby-colored gem-like eyes were filled with astonishment.

The owner of this voice was undoubtedly Mengxi.

In Yumo’s view,

Even though she had helped Mengxi replenish a large amount of soul power, this girl still needed some time to adapt. It would take at least a week or so for her to wake up at the earliest.

Unexpectedly, she was already conscious now?

As expected of the chosen one, always full of surprises.

Yumo’s heart was a little flustered.

After all,

The culprit who injured Mengxi to this extent was none other than herself. Feeling guilty, Yumo didn’t quite know how to face Mengxi.

But Yumo couldn’t bear to ignore Mengxi’s call.

In the end, after a long sigh, Yumo dismissed the idea of leaving immediately, slowly turned her head, and looked at the stunningly beautiful girl lying on the bed.

At this moment, Mengxi had already slightly opened her eyes, looking at Yumo with reluctance.

Upon feeling the soul power that Yumo had injected into her body, Mengxi struggled and, relying on her strong willpower, forcibly reconnected her soul and body, bringing her consciousness back to reality.

At the last moment when she was engulfed by the Shadow Annihilation and her consciousness fell into the abyss, what entered Mengxi’s eyes was still that black-haired girl with a crazed look in her eyes.

Mengxi had fallen asleep with an extremely uneasy feeling.

Therefore,

The moment she barely woke up, that feeling of worry came back, instantly enveloping the silver-haired girl’s heart.

After vaguely seeing that familiar figure, Mengxi, whose consciousness was still in a half-dazed state, suddenly reached out her hand and grabbed the hem of the other party’s skirt.

She wanted to confirm,

Whether her beloved, that pure and gentle Yumo... had really come back?

"Sister... Sister Yumo..."

In a dazed state, Mengxi softly called out Yumo’s name.

At this moment, Mengxi seemed to have lost her previous dominance and returned to the sweet little sister image from the small wooden house in the winter forest.

Faced with such Mengxi, Yumo smiled helplessly.

Guessing the other party’s intention, the black-haired girl slowly raised her hand and gently stroked Mengxi’s head, comforting her in a soft voice,

"Yes, it’s me. I am back. You don’t need to worry~"

As these words entered her ears, the uneasiness in Mengxi’s light purple eyes gradually dissipated, and a trace of relieved joy slowly overflowed from them.

Mengxi slowly nodded and showed Yumo an angelic and charming smile,

"Mm..."

"So, rest assured."

While comforting her, Yumo leaned down again and lightly kissed Mengxi’s forehead:

"Get some good rest. You’re still very weak. Don’t force yourself."

"..."

Although they were just ordinary words of comfort, when paired with the action of a light kiss, Mengxi instinctively felt a hint of unease. Tightly holding Yumo’s small hand, Mengxi asked in a low voice with anxiety:

"Sister Yumo... are, are you going somewhere?"

Upon hearing this, Yumo was stunned for a moment, and a ripple flashed in her ruby-colored eyes.

After a brief silence,

Yumo smiled slightly and didn’t choose to answer Mengxi’s words.

However,

She didn’t deny anything either.

"Don’t think too much now. Getting good rest is the most important thing."

"Sister?"

"Be a good girl, rest well and Listen to me~"

Yumo spoke in a tone as if coaxing a child.

And as the words were spoken, ripples of scarlet energy gradually rippled on Yumo’s right hand that was stroking Mengxi’s forehead. As these ripples spread, a strong feeling of sleepiness suddenly surged into Mengxi’s mind, making her eyes increasingly heavy, and her already blurry consciousness was gradually enveloped by a layer of hazy mist.

Mengxi wanted to struggle to regain consciousness.

Her intuition told her,

Her sister seemed to be planning to do something stupid again...

If she didn’t stop her this time, she would probably regret it later...

Unfortunately, the already weak Mengxi couldn’t possibly resist Yumo’s power.

Her struggle was futile.

In the end,

The girl succumbed to drowsiness, and her heavy eyelids inevitably slowly closed, entering the dream realm once again.

...

"Rest well, little girl."

Looking at Mengxi, who had fallen asleep again, Yumo said in a doting and guilty tone. After that,

Yumo didn’t linger too long,

And quickly got up and left Mengxi’s room.

However,

Before leaving, Yumo did remember one thing. She directly grabbed Bai Yanluo’s foot and dragged the knocked-out Bai Yanluo out of the room like a mop, under the dumbfounded gazes of the church priests and soldiers. This famous Apostle was comically dragged by Yumo to the center of the garden.

After releasing a slight amount of Shadow power to make the surrounding onlookers faint,

Yumo threw Bai Yanluo out without any tenderness, directly tossing her into the pond.

For some unknown reason,

Bai Yanluo’s head seemed to have gained an extraordinary ability to withstand impacts. After being slightly stimulated by the pond water, her fainted consciousness suddenly awakened.

"Cough cough cough!!"

The next moment, Bai Yanluo, who had opened her eyes, suddenly emerged from the water and violently spat out the water.

Afterwards,

Bai Yanluo suddenly locked her angry eyes on the black-haired girl beside her.

"Bastard!! Don’t go too far!!"

Recalling her sword, Bai once again erupted with powerful holy energy, seemingly trying to fight Yumo to the death.

Unfortunately,

Yumo didn’t have the leisure for this and directly said coldly:

"Be quiet and sit down."

As the words were spoken, Bai Yanluo’s face changed drastically, and a strong binding force from the soul contract instantly enveloped her. Under the effect of this compulsory force, Bai Yanluo, who hadn’t even been invigorated for a second, withered again. The holy energy dissipated, and her entire body, like a scolded puppy, directly knelt down on the ground.

At this moment, the slow-reacting Bai Yanluo seemed to have just remembered a very serious fact.

That was, her soul contract was in the other party’s hands...

She was powerless to disobey the other party.

As long as Yumo was willing, she could become the other party’s toy at any time.

However, even so, Bai didn’t submit out of fear like last time, but continued to stare at Yumo with an unwilling and angry gaze, with the momentum of going down with the ship together.

In response to this,

Yumo wasn’t angry, but instead, the corners of her mouth curled up slightly, revealing a trace of satisfaction:

"Not bad, this is more like a Heavenly Apostle."

Then, Yumo changed the topic and pointed to Mengxi’s residence not far away with some helplessness,

"Relax, there’s no need to be so hostile to me. I didn’t harm Mengxi."

?!!

"What?"

Upon hearing this, Bai was stunned for a moment, then immediately expanded her holy energy and brought Mengxi’s residence into her sensing range. After confirming that Mengxi was indeed unharmed and that her soul power had even greatly recovered, Bai Yanluo couldn’t help but show a surprised and puzzled expression.

Apparently,

During the time I was unconscious just now, Bloody Butterfly not only didn’t harm Mengxi but even helped treat her?

Clearly, it was her who beat Mengxi into this miserable state?

Now she’s treating her again?

"What exactly do you want to... do?"

However, Yumo had no intention of answering Bai, but directly changed the topic and rarely used a plead tone.

"Can you do me a favor?"

"Huh?"

Bai frowned.

Why bring up this topic now?

Besides, don’t you already have my soul contract? Whatever you ask me to do, I have to do it anyway? Is it necessary to ask so sincerely?

However, since this Abyss Demon didn’t harm Mengxi and lowered her posture to speak to her in a negotiating tone, Bai Yanluo had to respond. After taking a deep breath and suppressing her agitated mood and raging holy energy, Bai Yanluo asked cautiously:

"You want my help?"

"Yes... Although I feel that you’re not very reliable, it seems that I can only reluctantly find you now that almost all the high-ranking members of the Asumos Church have been wiped out..."

"Uh."

Hearing the disdain in Yumo’s words, Bai couldn’t help but frown and twitch constantly.

Although she was unhappy inside, considering the other party’s strength and the compulsory nature of the soul contract, Bai Yanluo could only smile awkwardly a few times:

"Hehe, then I’m really, reluctantly troubling you. So, what exactly do you want me to do?"

"Help me assist Mengxi."

"Assist Mengxi?"

"Yes, I hope you can assist Mengxi in becoming a good saintess, and by the way... re-establish a different church centered around Mengxi. Then, let this new church manage the current human world together with Black Rose family..."
