Abyssal Chronicles

Chapter 839 - 840: The Long-Awaited Old Couple part1

[1/6]

----------

As Yumo’s words were spoken, everyone in the conference room let out a sigh of relief as if a heavy burden had been lifted.

Although they still had to face the terrifying threat of the feather duster later, at least for now they had gained a brief respite.

The members of the Black Rose family led by Xiao, and the Demon King little ones led by Kalina, collapsed to the ground the moment Yumo walked out of the conference room, their bodies unable to withstand the pressure any longer. Kalina, who had narrowly escaped punishment, was still feeling lingering fear as she touched her buttocks and hurriedly took out a handkerchief to wipe away the tears on her face.

...

On the other side,

the moment Yumo stepped out of the conference room, she saw little Yuan’er standing not far away, looking curious.

For a birthday, Yuan’er naturally wanted it to be lively and to enjoy it with her family. Therefore, after playing with little Meili, Yuan’er who found that her sisters were all gone, trotted around the mansion in search of their whereabouts. Undoubtedly, the little one wanted to find her sisters to play together.

As she searched, Yuan’er arrived at the conference room on the third floor.

Then, the little one was surprised to see her mother walking out of the conference room.

Mommy is back?!!!!

In an instant, joyful emotions gushed out from her heart like a fountain. After all, her mother was an indispensable and important figure at her birthday party! And Yuan’er herself was looking forward to enjoying the process of blowing out candles and eating cake with her mom.

Upon seeing that familiar black silhouette, the pink-haired little girl excitedly raised her little hand, her red and blue heterochromatic eyes filled with delight.

"Mommy! Mommy!! You’re back!!!"

The little girl shouted excitedly and ran toward Yumo, hopping and skipping.

Then, under the embrace of black Shadow Power, little Yuan’er leaped up and pounced towards Yumo without a second word.

Naturally, Yumo wouldn’t refuse her little daughter’s ’leap into her arms’ and directly opened her arms to welcome the little one into her embrace.

"Yes, I’m back."

Faced with her adorable daughter in her arms, Yumo couldn’t help but affectionately rub the little one’s face.

After all, this little one was probably the only one among the children who hadn’t disappointed her, hadn’t deceived her, and was the most honest little baby.

Rubbing against Yuan’er’s bright, fair, and tender cheeks, Yumo’s heart, which had become agitated and uneasy due to the meeting, gradually regained its calmness. The coldness in her crimson eyes slowly faded, and the former gentle expression once again appeared on her stunningly beautiful face.

On the other side, Yuan’er, who was being nuzzled by her mother, naturally also showed a blissful and content smile.

However, Yuan’er couldn’t help but glance at the conference room beside her, and seeing her big sis Kalina and the other familiar faces sitting on the ground, the little girl pouted her lips in confusion:

"Mommy, what were you doing in this room? Why are Sister Kalina and the others sitting on the ground?"

"Oh about this,,,, you’re still young, even if I told you, you wouldn’t understand. So, listen to Mommy and don’t ask, okay?"

"Aw, okay."

Although her curiosity wasn’t satisfied, leaving Yuan’er a bit disappointed, as a good daughter, she still chose to obey her mother’s wishes and nodded very obediently.

"Mm, good girl~"

Seeing that Yuan’er didn’t continue to ask, Yumo nodded with great satisfaction.

Afterwards, Yumo, holding Yuan’er like this, walked towards the center of the garden where the evening banquet was set up.

As they walked, Yumo didn’t forget to instruct:

"Little one, continue to be a good child in the future too~, be honest and don’t deceive Mommy. you know, Your mommy hates being lied to the most~"

"Mm-hmm, Yuan’er won’t lie to Mommy, hehe~"

The little one answered without hesitation.

And Yumo, who received this answer, showed a gratified smile,

"Ah so sweet~"

Saying that, Yumo happily kissed Yuan’er’s little cheek.

"Let’s go~, we’ll go greet Yuan’er’s grandpa and grandma~"

"Yay~"

The little girl waved her hands happily,

for a moment, the mother and daughter were in a harmonious and warm atmosphere, walking together towards the garden...

...

At the same time,

in the eastern part of the Winter Forest, the marquis and marchioness from Wind City were wearing cotton coats, rapidly shuttling through the snowy forest.

Surveying the gloomy and heavy atmosphere of the forest, Marquis Xiumu couldn’t help but show some emotion.

"It’s really like a dream."

The white-haired old man sighed.

You should know, half a year ago, he was still leading the army of Wind City, struggling to defend the northern border and resist the invasion of the abyssal demons. And now? Not only did he enter the legendary Winter Forest, which was regarded as a forbidden area, he was even riding a seventh-level abyssal demon and traveling through the forest…

Glancing down at the black demon that was carrying him, rapidly moving through the snow, resembling a whale, Xiumu couldn’t help but twitch his brows slightly.

No matter what, the old man, who had been fighting against abyssal demons for most of his life, still couldn’t get used to interacting with demons so calmly for so long.

Compared to Xiumu, who was always gripping his sword hilt with a vigilant heart, his wife Aurora was much more composed. She sat beside Xiumu with a carefree demeanor, blowing in the north wind while curiously surveying the surroundings.

Looking at the abyssal demons escorting them along the way, Aurora couldn’t help but smile and even advised her husband: "There’s no need to be so tense. If that young lady really meant to harm us, we would have been dead long ago."

"I know, it’s just that I can’t get used to it, being welcomed by abyssal demons..."

Seeing the orderly formation of demons in front, howling as if welcoming distinguished guests, Xiumu shook his head helplessly and looked at his wife Aurora with admiring eyes:

"But you, aren’t you not used to it? You’re still smiling and looking so happy."

"Of course! After all, we can finally see our granddaughters," Aurora replied without hesitation:

"Besides, the peace around Wind City recently, and the obedience of the abyssal demons here, don’t they all indicate that Miss Yumo can really control the demons well? If the Lord of the Abyssal Demons is such a kind person, isn’t it a fortunate thing for us humans?"

"That’s true."

"But..."

"But what?"

"Abyssal demons are still demons, the oppressive aura of this shadow power is still very uncomfortable."
