Abyssal Chronicles

Chapter 843 - 844: An Uneasy Night

5/6

While the adorable little Yuan’er was blissfully immersed in sweet dreams, her sisters were obviously not as comfortable as her.

If not anxious and uneasy, they were at least scared half to death.

After all, according to Yumo’s words, the end of Yuan’er’s birthday party would be the moment they bid farewell to their butt!

With their butt in imminent danger, who the hell would have the heart to sleep?!

Uh, that’s not quite right either. It should be said that except for the carefree Limo, all the other young friends of the Black Rose family and the adorable little Demon Kings were in a state of unease.

Not knowing when their mother would break through the door with the legendary weapon in hand, almost everyone was staring at the door with trepidation.

Holding their breath and constantly thinking about how to avoid getting hit by the feather duster.

If they had to be beaten, they at least had to do everything possible to get hit a few times less!

But considering that their mother already knew about all their misdeeds, how to get hit less undoubtedly became a big problem.

Instead of explaining, perhaps shifting the blame was the most appropriate way to survive.

Therefore, the little ones who were usually harmonious and loving unanimously thought about how to shift the blame in their minds.

Although it was a bit immoral, what else could they do?

In the face of the threat of the feather duster, morality was like a joke, and the bond of friendship was even more fragile.

...

Among these children, the most frightened one was naturally Kalina, the first one in the line.

After all, concealing from Yumo and dealing with human powerhouses and the chosen ones was a plan proposed by Kalina initially to assist her sister Youlan.

It was no exaggeration to say that she was one of the main culprits.

At the same time, she was also the source of evil that led her younger siblings astray.

As one of the instigators of all this, the possibility of Kalina escaping punishment and not being educated by the feather duster seemed rather low.

In fact, because she had deceived her mother for too long and the situation was extremely bad, the possibility of her ass being spanked to shreds was not small either.

If she did nothing, she would probably experience the most desperate night of her life tonight.

Imagining the terrifying scene of the feather duster in full bloom and the indescribable pain it might bring, Kalina, who was in the bedroom, kept shivering and pacing back and forth in the room, thinking about how to deal with the impending threat.

"What should I do, what should I do, what should I do..."

The red-haired beauty kept muttering to herself, completely losing her past heroic and calm demeanor.

And just as Kalina was feeling uneasy, a sound comparable to a pig being slaughtered suddenly came from upstairs, shattering the tranquility of the night! The ghostly wailing and howling directly scared Kalina to the point where her heart nearly stopped.

"Ahhhhhhhh!!! Owwwwww!"

?!!

What, what’s going on?!

That, that’s brother’s voice?!

Although Kalina had lost her composure for a moment, she quickly realized that the owner of this voice was her foolish brother, Pierre. From a young age, her brother had been fearless of anything. There was probably only one existence in the world that could make him let out such a hysterical howl...

And that was the feather duster in her mother’s hand...

"Has brother already gone?"

As the wailing ceased, Kalina couldn’t help but think so.

Then, this Demon Queen of Flames couldn’t help but frown.

Wait a minute, why was brother beaten again?

Didn’t he not participate in the plan?

This time, I hadn’t even shifted the blame to my dear brother yet. How did he get beaten in this situation??

Kalina was confused.

However, considering her brother’s heaven-defying ability to cause trouble, Kalina gave up on further thinking. After all, who knew where this guy had provoked mother again. Besides, brother had thick skin and flesh, so getting beaten up was no big deal... It might even help share some of Mother’s anger for me.

Thinking of this, Kalina even felt a bit relieved.

As a good sister, she even hoped that her mother would hit her brother a few more times so that she would be hit less later.

After all, as a brother, wasn’t it natural to share some burden for his sister?...

However, despite her thoughts, Pierre’s miserable screams clearly informed Kalina of one fact. That was, Yuan’er had already fallen asleep, and her mother had already begun to take action. The night of the butt hunt had thus begun. In this unexpected yet inevitable situation, her brother had successfully offered the first blood.

But this did not mean that Kalina and the others could escape unscathed. After dealing with Pierre, her mother would probably come to settle the score with them next.

At this critical moment of life and death, Kalina’s heart reached an unprecedented state of nervousness. She gritted her teeth and racked her brains for a countermeasure.

"What should I do..."

Anxious cold sweat dripped from the red-haired woman’s forehead drop by drop.

Covering her buttocks, Kalina even unknowingly bit her own finger.

"What should I say to shift some responsibility... What should I say to soften Mother’s heart?... How can I escape this disaster, Ahhh... I don’t want to be spanked... Don’t want to be spanked, it hurts..."

...

However, if I made more excuses, wouldn’t that be continuing to deceive Mother...

Having come this far, should I still do that?

Mother would probably be even more heartbroken, right?

At this moment, Kalina seemed to have a realization. She stopped her anxious pacing and thoughtfully gazed at the oil painting on the wall, which was the one she had asked Sebastian to paint for her and Mother. Gazing at her mother in the painting, the anxiety in Kalina’s eyes gradually dissipated without her noticing, and a strong sense of guilt surged in her orange-red eyes instead.

Although she feared the punishment of the feather duster, if she thought about it carefully,

"Isn’t it my own fault?"

Mother trusted me so much, yet I repeatedly used Mother’s trust to deceive her. As the eldest sister of those children, not only did I fail to properly guide them, but I also led them astray.

Even at the last moment, I was still thinking about how to join forces with Xiao to deceive Mother.

Mother… must be very disappointed in me, right?

"Sigh..."

Thinking of this, Kalina couldn’t help but let out a long sigh and bit her lip with great inner conflict.

Forget it, no more excuses.

I am the big sister of those children.

As their big sister, how could I shirk responsibility?

After an intense inner struggle, Kalina finally made a decision. She gave up the idea of making excuses and decided to sincerely accept her mother’s education and admit her mistakes to her. Perhaps only in this way could she quell her mother’s anger and rebuild the trust between mother and daughter.

Mother loved me so much, I will not deceive her anymore.

Besides, "A qualified knight should take responsibility for their actions, right?"

Although in the past, Kalina had always used the so-called knight’s code as a shield to deceive her mother, this time, Kalina decided to abide by the knight’s code for once.

Just like that, dozens of seconds passed.

Taking a deep breath and mentally prepared, Kalina silently removed her armor, abandoning the last line of defense for her buttocks.

After that, the red-haired beauty changed into her home pajamas and crawled into bed.

Using the blanket, she wrapped herself up like a rice dumpling, with only her head exposed, quietly staring at the bedroom door, waiting for her mother and her punishment to arrive.

However, ideals and beauty are one thing, reality is cruel.

"Booaaaaah... So scary..."

Unknowingly, tears welled up in Kalina’s eyes. Even though she had mentally prepared herself to accept the punishment, the fear of the feather duster still made her shiver uncontrollably. Even after hesitating for a while, Kalina silently changed into a pair of underwear under the covers, a pair of crude and extremely simple beast-skin panties...

Of course, these were no ordinary underwear.

These were the underwear that her mother had woven for her when Kalina was little.

Kalina’s little thought was obvious.

She hoped that when her mother saw these underwear, she would recall Kalina’s adorable appearance when she was little. That way, her mother might go a bit easier on her...

...

Just like that, with mixed feelings, Kalina widened her eyes and held her breath, staring at the bedroom door, waiting for her mother’s arrival, waiting for the moment of judgment to descend.

In the anxious waiting, time passed by minute by minute.

However, until the next morning, the scene Kalina had anticipated of her mother breaking through the door did not happen.

?!!

Huh?

"What, what, what’s going on??"
