Abyssal Chronicles

Chapter 844 - 845: She gone!??

6/6

As the first light of dawn filtered through the gauze curtains onto her face, Kalina, who had been curled up in bed all night, suddenly snapped back to reality. The ray of sunlight pulled her consciousness back from a state of high alert. Then, the Flame Demon Queen turned her head in astonishment towards the dimly lit sky outside the window.

Wait a minute?!

It’s actually freaking daylight?! My butt actually made it safely to daylight?!?!

"Is this, is this for real? Am I dreaming?"

Blinking her eyes, Kalina even began to doubt her life. The next moment, kicking off the blankets and somewhat bewilderedly reaching under her skirt, she touched her unscathed buttocks and had no choice but to accept this delightful truth.

That is, she hadn’t been beaten, her butt was still intact!!

Realizing this, a surge of ecstatic relief overflowed in Kalina’s heart.

However, this touch of ecstasy and excitement did not last long, as the excited expression on her face was quickly swallowed by a solemn and puzzled look.

No, wait a minute,

"Something’s, not right?"

It was possible that her mother had shown mercy, but the complete absence of anyone coming to her room was beyond Kalina’s expectations.

Not only that, since her brother’s scream last night, let alone other screams, almost no sound had reached Kalina’s ears.

The entire mansion had fallen into an indescribable atmosphere of dead silence.

And it continued like this until the morning.

Why has it suddenly become so quiet?

Where did Mother go?

She’s not going to spank us?

Or is it because it’s Yuan’er’s birthday, the "Execution Day" has been postponed?

"What in the world is going on?"

Kalina was utterly baffled.

However, rather than sitting around waiting for doom, Kalina decided to leave her room to check on the situation outside.

Thus, Inferno, after changing into her usual home long dress, cautiously approached the door of her room.

After taking a few deep breaths, Kalina, with a heart as guilty as a thief, slowly opened the door and, with the help of the door crack, timidly poked her head out.

And almost at the moment Kalina opened her door, the door opposite slowly opened as well,

A little girl with gray hair holding a small white wolf, also tremblingly poked her head out from the crack of the door.

And this little girl, naturally, was Liyu, holding Limo.

"Liyu?"

"Sis!!??" As their eyes met, both sisters immediately displayed expressions of astonishment. The moment Kalina locked eyes with Liyu, she instantly sensed Liyu’s current state. The little one’s eyes were bloodshot, and her whole body radiated an indescribable weariness.

Without a doubt, Liyu, just like herself, had not had a good rest last night. After all, who among the children of the Yumo family could sleep peacefully when a feather duster might descend upon them at any moment? Well... except for that always carefree Limo.

However, after observing carefully for a few seconds, Kalina was certain that although her sister looked tired and weak, she had not suffered from the feather duster’s torment. Otherwise, considering Liyu’s ’delicate’ constitution, it would be unlikely for her to get out of bed so soon. Even if she could come to open the door, her legs would surely be trembling.

Not to mention, Liyu’s eyes only showed fatigue; her emerald eyes were not swollen from heart-wrenching sobs.

Kalina didn’t think Liyu could be strong enough to endure the whipping of the feather duster without crying.

Therefore, there was only one possibility.

Liyu, like her, had not been ’educated’ by the feather duster.

"You too, last night?"

"Uh-huh."

Understanding Kalina’s meaning, Liyu nodded dumbly, then asked uncertainly:

"Sister Kalina, you too?"

"Yes... I, I wasn’t beaten either."

Kalina nodded slightly.

As they were confirming with each other, Shuoyue, like a ghost, passed through the wall and poked her head out from the ceiling.

"That, I, I wasn’t beaten either."

"Shuoyue too..."

Kalina frowned.

If all her sisters hadn’t been beaten, it essentially ruled out the possibility that their mother had set up a barrier and punished them in secret.

At this moment, Kalina’s brow was furrowed, caught in an unprecedented dilemma.

Yesterday, during the meeting, Mother was clearly so angry, it would have been understandable for her to tear our butts apart in her fury. How could she suddenly have spared us?

No, It doesn’t make any sense?

Thinking it over, after her brother’s scream of agony last night, the mansion had been quiet until now. Could it be that brother had taken on a self-sacrificing spirit, willingly bearing all of Mother’s wrath? Or did Xiao manage to shift the blame onto brother?

If not, why didn’t Mother act last night?

...

The more she thought about it, the more Kalina felt overwhelmed, her orange-red eyes filled with anxiety.

However, just as Kalina and her sisters were utterly confused, a sudden insight flashed through Kalina’s mind.

An ominous feeling instantly began to grow in her mind.

Yesterday, after being certain of our actions, Mother must have been utterly disappointed, harboring anger and frustration. Spanking, It wasn’t just a punishment for us, but also a way for Mother to vent her emotions.

What if Mother couldn’t vent her displeasure? Then, Who knows what kind of strange things our foolish mother might do?

The next moment, To verify the uneasy guess in her heart, Kalina no longer suppressed her Shadow Power. The violent surge of her crimson energy instantly spread from her body, enveloping the entire mansion and even spreading throughout the entire barrier.

Then, Kalina’s expression changed drastically, and she suddenly dashed towards the fifth floor.

?!!

"Eh, Sister Kalina?! What are you doing?"

Liyu and Shuoyue, both utterly bewildered, couldn’t help but exclaim. Unfortunately, Kalina now had no intention of explaining to her sisters but instead rushed straight to the fifth floor.

Then, the once obedient girl in Yumo’s heart, abandoned all propriety and forcefully pushed open Yumo’s bedroom door.

Seeing the room empty, Kalina’s heart sank to the bottom of the lake.

"No, it can’t be?"

Taking a sharp breath, fearing she had sensed incorrectly, Kalina, under the puzzled gazes of her sisters, dashed towards the living room, the kitchen, the garden, and even Yuan’er’s bedroom...

However, After a thorough search, Kalina couldn’t find her target. She couldn’t find that gentle and kind black silhouette. That figure, as if evaporated from the world, left not a single trace behind.

For a moment, a drop of cold sweat slowly slid down from between Kalina’s brows. Looking at the empty living room, Kalina fell into a deathly silence. Behind her, Shuoyue and Liyu quickly caught up. Although at first, they didn’t understand what Kalina was thinking and just kept following her, the two clever girls, after a while, realized Kalina’s thoughts.

That uneasy guess also emerged in the minds of the two little girls. The next moment, Liyu and Shuoyue looked at each other, reading the panic in each other’s eyes. Taking a deep breath, Liyu, trembling, stepped forward and carefully tugged at Sister Kalina’s skirt:

"Sister, Mother, did she, she..." And the unease in Liyu’s heart was soon confirmed by Kalina.

"Yes, Mother... is gone."
