Abyssal Chronicles

Chapter 838 - 839: A Savior?

Towards her daughters, especially her second daughter Kalina, Yumo had always been very tolerant and doting, after all, this was her most sensible and well-behaved child, and also the only one who wouldn’t cause trouble for her.

Yumo had an incredible amount of trust in Kalina.

Whatever Kalina said, Yumo would almost unquestioningly choose to believe.

Compared to Pipi, whose words were doubted by Yumo nine out of ten times, Kalina’s treatment was simply divine.

And it was precisely because of this trust in Kalina that when Yumo learned and confirmed that her second daughter was also a key player in the deception plan, her disappointment and anger became so difficult to suppress. At this moment, for the first time in hundreds of years, Yumo steeled her heart and decided to properly educate this bad girl who had abused her trust.

Yumo, who had turned her heart to stone, did not show any mercy despite Kalina’s pitiful expression.

With a flash of crimson light, Kalina, who was kneeling on the ground, was directly bound by energy locks formed from Shadow Power, forcibly hoisted up from the ground. Staring at Kalina’s buttocks, covered by a thin skirt, Yumo gritted her teeth and resolutely swung down the feather duster in her hand.

The next moment,

"Waaaaaaah!!!"

Kalina’s cries instantly resounded throughout the room.

This renowned and terrifying Inferno, who could slay empiers and kingdoms alike on the Continent, the feared Big Sister of the Winter Forest, finally at this moment burst into heart-wrenching, grief-stricken wails.

The cries were so miserable that they were moving.

The dashing big sister image that Kalina had created for hundreds of years instantly crumbled at this moment.

As the wailing echoed, those ’facing the wall in reflection’ in the conference room couldn’t help but tremble all over, their buttocks vaguely sinking into pain.

If the always strong Kalina was howling like a ghost, the Black Rose members and the Demon King little ones didn’t dare to imagine how much force Yumo had used in this strike.

Instinctively, everyone huddled against the wall, shivering. If the elves, dragons, and the beast tribes of the forest were to witness this scene, they would probably all show expressions of astonishment.

No one could have imagined that these villains, who could make even Satan bow down and take them as masters, would have such a timid side.

Even though they hadn’t been beaten yet, they were already so scared that their bodies were out of control.

...

However,

while almost everyone in the conference room was gripped by fear upon hearing Kalina’s wails, Yumo was slightly dumbfounded.

Yumo: (???)

Glancing at the feather duster tightly gripped in her right hand, still suspended in mid-air, and Kalina’s still perfectly intact soft buttocks in front, Yumo furrowed her brows with mixed feelings.

Um, I don’t think, I’ve even swung it down yet... You little girl, why are you crying so hard?

Trying to put on an act again to trick me into showing mercy?

Yumo thought coldly.

However, this time, Yumo had guessed wrong.

Kalina had no intention of pretending to be miserable to fool her mommy, she was simply scared.

After her elder sister Youlan left the Winter Forest, Kalina took on the responsibility of being the big child. (What? You’re asking about Pipi? Do you think that thing is reliable?)

As the big sister of the Winter Forest, Kalina forced herself to appear mature, steady, and fearless at all times, only then could she become the reliable elder sister in the eyes of her little sisters and those human children. In order to maintain her image, Kalina deliberately hid many of her weaknesses.

This included her fear of pain...

That’s right, when Kalina pleaded with Yumo earlier, saying that she was afraid of pain, it wasn’t nonsense, but words from the bottom of her heart. Perhaps because she inherited Mommy’s sensitive constitution, Kalina’s tolerance for pain was also not great. When she was little, every time she got hurt, Kalina would uncontrollably become teary-eyed...

Fortunately, Kalina, who had a very strong willpower, was always able to suppress her fear and tears with her strong will. It was like this before in the Sky Prison...

In order to eliminate Xue Tianao, that troublesome Child of Destiny, Kalina went all out, enduring the pain and plunging Xue Tianao’s sword into her own chest. Afterwards, when no one was around, Kalina curled up pitifully and sobbed for a long time.

Usually during battles, it was fine, as Kalina, who had transformed her body into raging flames and entered her released mode, had lost her sense of pain.

But now?

Kalina, who was maintaining the form of an ordinary woman, had no way to block out the pain. Moreover, the pain from the feather duster struck directly at the soul, even if she could block out the physical pain, it would still be difficult to escape the damage from the feather duster. Even her brother, that thick-skinned fool, would cry and howl for a few days and nights after being beaten.

What about her, with her delicate skin?

Wouldn’t she be bedridden for months after a beating?

When people can’t hold it in, they often can’t hold it in.

In the end, before the feather duster even fell, Kalina, who was under too much mental pressure, was overcome by panic and couldn’t help but cry out.

...

However, as she cried and cried, Kalina, who was rolling on the ground holding her buttocks, gradually noticed something amiss. The excruciating pain she had anticipated did not reach her brain, and her buttocks seemed to still be intact?

W...What, what’s going on?

Kalina thought as she sobbed.

After sniffling. The perplexed Kalina timidly turned her head to look at the black-haired girl behind her. The scene that then met her eyes made Kalina freeze in surprise.

At this moment, Yumo was still holding up the murderous feather duster, standing behind Kalina. However, Yumo’s gaze was not on her buttocks, but was thoughtfully looking towards the conference room door that was sealed by crimson Shadow Power.

The feather duster, just like that, hung in mid-air like a sword of Damocles.

What’s wrong?

Kalina looked puzzled.

But soon, Her confusion was soon answered, because as her sobs subsided, Kalina vaguely heard a familiar, cute voice.

——"Sister Kalina! Sister Liyu! Sister Shuoyue! Where are you?!"——

Hm?

That voice, is it Yuan’er’s?

And it seems to be quite close? Is that girl coming to look for us?

Realizing this, Kalina became a bit flustered. Her towering image in the eyes of the Black Rose members and her younger sisters like Liyu had undoubtedly shattered during her earlier wailing. But even so, Kalina still hoped to preserve her image as a great and reliable big sister in the eyes of her new little sister. If Yuan’er saw her being strung up and spanked by Mother... Then I would really want to find a hole to crawl into...

Kalina’s face turned red, and she bit her lip in shame.

However, just as Kalina was praying in her heart that Yuan’er wouldn’t find the conference room, the energy chains binding her suddenly dissipated, and Kalina was released back onto the ground.

?!!

Huh?

"Mo-Mother??"

Shock and confusion filled Kalina’s mind, and Inferno hurriedly turned around and looked at her mother in puzzlement.

"Don’t misunderstand."

Yumo said calmly.

"I have no intention of letting you off the hook."

As she spoke, Yumo lowered the feather duster that was emitting a brutal aura. The feather duster seemed quite displeased at not having tasted blood and was constantly emitting energy fluctuations in protest. But these protests were ignored by Yumo. Finally, under Kalina’s nervous gaze, Yumo stuffed the feather duster back into her internal space.

"Thinking about it carefully, today is Yuan’er’s birthday. If you guys were beaten to the point of being bedridden, that girl would be very disappointed. After the birthday banquet is over, I’ll have a good chat with you guys. Before then, think carefully about how you’re going to explain yourselves to me tonight."

After sighing with immense disappointment and even a bit of dejection, Yumo walked step by step towards the conference room door.

Just as she was about to open the door, Yumo seemed to think of something and abruptly stopped in her tracks. She turned her head to look at the children in the room who had been scared out of their wits and were huddling together for warmth:

The next moment, a charming, sweet smile gradually appeared on the black-haired girl’s stunningly beautiful face, and she stuck out her tongue in a very playful manner, saying.

"Hey, today is Yuan’er’s birthday, so cheer up~. Aren’t you all masters of acting? Don’t let Yuan’er see through anything, okay? Otherwise, everyone gets ten extra spanks!~"
