Abyssal Chronicles

Chapter 842 - 843: Reminders

4/6

Thanks to the meticulous preparations by Sebastian and the others, Yuan’er’s entire birthday banquet can be said to have ended smoothly. Surrounded by her mother, grandparents, and sisters Yuan’er excitedly blew out the candles, made a birthday wish, sang birthday songs with her mother, and played games with her brother, sisters, and a group of young friends from the Black Rose. Throughout the evening, the garden was filled with a warm and joyful atmosphere of harmony.

In this atmosphere, little Yuan’er spent the happiest birthday party of her life and left unforgettable memories of happiness. However, the little one may never know that in this birthday party filled with laughter and joy, perhaps only she, her grandparents, and a few others were truly happy from the bottom of their hearts.

It goes without saying that the invited guests were either forcibly brought by the absolute military might of the Black Rose family or came reluctantly at Kalina’s invitation with tears in their eyes. Coupled with the powerful oppression brought by the surrounding Demon Kings and Abyssal Demons, these noble guests from various races were already exhausted just trying to maintain their consciousness and squeeze out a smile.

The displeasure and fear in their hearts went without saying. How could they possibly participate in the birthday party of a Demon King with sincerity and joy? The surface of the banquet always maintained a false peace.

As for the Black Rose family members and other little Demon King ancestors who should have been happy, due to the threat of the feather duster close at hand, they were having an exceptionally good time, laughing so hard they were almost crying...

Fortunately, under the company of her mother, the adorable little Yuan’er did not notice the rich and complex emotions of the people around her. Her happy state had been maintained from early this morning until now...

...

In the deep of the night, in Yuan’er’s room, the little one lying on the bed was still too excited to fall asleep. After tossing and turning restlessly for a long time, the little girl opened her eyes again and hugged the arm of the black-haired girl beside her with a blissful face.

"Mommy! Mommy!" The little girl called out to Yumo.

As today’s birthday star, all of Yuan’er’s requests were accepted by Yumo without exception. Yumo naturally agreed to little Yuan’er’s request to sleep with her at night.

However, the preoccupied Yumo was not as blissfully happy as she appeared at the banquet. Lying on the bed, she naturally did not enter the motionless, almost isolated building mode as usual. Therefore, in response to Yuan’er’s excited call, Yumo opened her eyes.

She cast a helpless yet doting gaze at the starry-eyed little girl beside her.

"My little girl, you’ve been making a fuss all day? Still have energy? I told you to be quiet and sleep, what do you want to do now?"

Yumo said with a feigned displeasure.

Although Yuan’er was a powerful Demon King, in Yumo’s eyes, she was still a little doll around ten years old.

Children is at a critical moment for growing up at these ages. It is essential to develop good living habits! Early to bed and early to rise is a must!

Yumo had always been meticulous when it came to children’s growth.

"Still making a fuss?"

"Hehe~"

The little girl smiled charmingly. Faced with Yumo’s ’displeased’ expression, Yuan’er had no trace of fear in her eyes. Instead, she directly tried to get away with it by acting cute. It was a state of complete fearlessness.

As it turned out, Yuan’er’s strategy was remarkably effective. In response to her little daughter’s cute behavior, Yumo eventually chose to surrender and smiled helplessly:

"Alright, alright, since it’s your birthday today, I won’t be so strict with you."

"Hehe, Mommy is the best~"

The happy little Yuan’er snuggled up to Yumo without a second word and kissed her mother’s cheek to express her gratitude.

"You little one, so why aren’t you sleeping in the middle of the night? What’s wrong again?"

"Mommy, I’m thinking~, when will we go back to Luminous?"

"Go back to Luminous? Why are you suddenly mentioning this?"

"Hmph!, Sister Mengxi didn’t come for my birthday this time, right? It’s a pity she didn’t get to eat such a delicious cake. I want to bring some to her."

The little girl pouted and said, with some regret in her tone.

"Yuan’er, you really like Mengxi, don’t you?"

Stroking Yuan’er’s little head, Yumo asked softly.

The little girl nodded without hesitation:

"Mm-hmm~, I like her! Sister Mengxi is very nice to me! And she’s very nice to Mommy too! Yuan’er likes her a lot!"

"Is that so?"

Yumo smiled with some relief:

"Then in the future, you should continue to get along well with Mengxi, Okay~?."

"Mm-hmm, I definitely will!"

"However, it may not be possible to go back to Luminous."

"Why?"

"Because Anvika has already been razed to the ground by Mommy."

"Huh?"

The little girl blinked her eyes, seeming a bit surprised:

"Is it because of that Holy War?"

"Yes."

Yumo nodded slightly without comment. Then, as if thinking of something, the black-haired girl looked at her adorable little daughter with a somewhat complex expression:

"Hey, little cutie, since you know about the Holy War, you should also know what Mommy did in Anvika, right?"

"Mm-hmm."

The little girl nodded without hesitation.

"Then, you know that Mommy wiped out nearly a million humans in Anvika, right?"

"Mm-hmm."

"Don’t you think Mommy is very cruel? Killing so many people?"

"No way!"

The little one shook her head without hesitation.

"Mommy is a good person! Those who were against Mommy must be bad people! They deserved to die! Rather than saying directly killing them was too good for them, they should have had their powers destroyed and then fed to Sister Limo!"

Yuan’er said these very cruel words with innocent tone.

Undoubtedly, the little one’s words were too one-sided, but they made Yumo feel relieved and smile.

After all, no one wants to become a murderous and brutal mother in the eyes of their child.

On the other side, seeing the hidden worries in her mother’s deep affection, Yuan’er comforted her obediently:

"It was those bad people who actively attacked Mommy. Mommy was just protecting herself. Mommy doesn’t need to feel guilty."

"..."

As Yuan’er’s comforting words reached her ears, Yumo was stunned at first, then affectionately rubbed her little daughter’s head.

Although most of the time, Yuan’er was a naive and innocent little darling, there were times when she became exceptionally understanding.

She could even see through my emotions?

Or rather, was I just too easy to read?

Indeed, if I wasn’t easy to read, those brats wouldn’t have been able to successfully fool me for so long.

After a smile, Yumo couldn’t help but raise her hand and pinch Yuan’er’s cheeks.

"You little girl, you’re much less of a handful than your brother and sisters."

"Brother and sisters? They’re all very well-behaved too."

"Well-behaved?"

Upon hearing this, Yumo’s eyes twitched slightly. In the past, except for Youlan who ran away from home and Pipi who was always causing trouble, the other children were all obedient and adorable in Yumo’s eyes.

But now?

Hehe, damn it, a bunch of unfilial children!!

Yumo coldly laughed through gritted teeth.

"Yes, they’re very well-behaved indeed~. But thanks for the reminder, Yuan’er. Mommy suddenly remembered that since your brother and sisters are so well-behaved~, Mommy should give them a good reward tonight~"

"Reward?!"

As soon as she heard the word ’reward’, little Yuan’er got excited and hugged her mother’s arm with great enthusiasm:

"Reward! Yuan’er wants it too! Yuan’er has been very good too!!!"

Hmm, well, secretly trying to match Mommy with Sister Mengxi doesn’t count as being naughty, right?

Hearing the little one’s words, Yumo shook her head helplessly.

"As for this reward, I don’t think Yuan’er would want it."

"Huh? Why?"

"Hehe, well~"

Yumo tilted her head as if teasing.

"Yuan’er is still young, it’s better not to know~. Also, what’s coming next might be a bit inappropriate for children. Yuan’er, hurry up and go to sleep~"

With that, Yumo slowly extended her finger and gently touched Yuan’er’s forehead.

As a faint crimson light rippled, the originally energetic little one couldn’t help but yawn a few times. In the end, Yuan’er defeated by sleepiness, curled up in her mommy’s arms and fell into a beautiful dream.

...

So next, before leaving, there’s one last thing that should be done...
