Abyssal Chronicles

Chapter 851 - 852: Traveling Alone?

"Ah? So-sorry! I, I, I forgot for a moment."

The young beastman apologized repeatedly, scratching the back of his head in embarrassment.

"It’s alright."

The silver-haired girl smiled slightly and shook her head, not minding at all.

"So, is the ticket check done? Can I go now?"

"Ah, this, wait a moment, it’ll be done right away."

Saying that, Karl hurriedly shifted his attention from the girl’s delicate face and checked the boarding ticket in her hand. Then, this young beastman with a keen sense of smell detected an unusual scent from the boarding ticket. It... was the smell of blood.

Hmm?

Why would there be a bloody smell on this ticket?

For a moment, Karl’s gaze towards the silver-haired girl turned strange.

"Why is your ticket stained with blood..."

"Blood? That should be left by the robbers earlier."

"Robbers?"

"Mm... I came out traveling alone. Just now, when I was shopping in Ruofan City, my luggage and boarding ticket were snatched by criminals. Thanks to the kind help of the officer, I got my luggage back. The bloodstains should have been left at that time."

As she spoke, the silver-haired girl raised her hand to her chest, her emerald eyes filled with uneasiness, looking like she was still frightened. Karl could even vaguely feel her delicate body trembling incessantly.

Faced with such a weak and helpless girl, the suspicion in Karl’s heart instantly vanished.

Indeed, this ticket was so precious that it was understandable to attract the attention of robbers.

Such a frail girl couldn’t possibly have done the deed of snatching the ticket.

Thinking of this, Karl hurriedly showed a guilty expression:

"I’m sorry, I misunderstood you. However, for a beautiful lady like you, it’s best to avoid going out alone in the future. It’s safer to be with family."

"Family..."

The girl muttered with a somewhat complex mood, but quickly concealed the gloom on her face and looked at Karl with a grateful gaze.

"Well, I plan to travel alone occasionally. But thank you for your reminder."

"If you’re alone, try hiring some bodyguards. It’s alright, hurry and board the airship. The security team on board is professional. You can rest assured, you won’t encounter the previous problem again."

"Thank you."

After showing a captivating sweet smile, the frail silver-haired girl carried her luggage and left the ticket checkpoint under the concerned gazes of several staff members, slowly boarding the magnificent and luxurious airship ahead...

...

A moment later, the silver-haired girl arrived on the airship.

Sitting by the window, the girl enjoyed the fruit juice provided by the attendant while quietly admiring the bustling night view of the external city below through the window.

"Occasionally walking alone feels quite nice too."

She couldn’t help but sigh.

And just as she sighed, a blood-colored butterfly gently landed on her shoulder.

That’s right, this girl named "Momo" who boarded the luxurious airship was actually the target that the Black Rose family and the Demon Kings had been searching for with all their might recently.

In other words, our runaway Miss Yumo.

Yumo was not stupid. She naturally knew that once she left the Winter Forest, the Black Rose and her daughters would search for her like crazy. In order not to be easily discovered, Yumo directly used her power to change her appearance and used the divine artifact "Deceptive Veil" to hide her aura.

It turned out that Yumo’s disguise was very successful. According to the information brought back by the bloody butterfly, the few members of the Black Rose who had just passed by her in the city did not realize her identity.

Recalling the worried expressions of the few Black Rose members just now, Yumo showed a smug look as expected.

"Hmph~ Serves them right~"

Apparently, until now, Yumo still hadn’t let go of her anger.

Those damn unfilial children! Hmph!

Thinking of her children in the Winter Forest, Yumo couldn’t help but frown, Not only did her children disobey and deceive her for so many years, they even tried to collude and deceive her until the very end, which undoubtedly made her extremely disappointed. You should know that even Mengxi eventually took the initiative to admit the fact that she had deceived her. Yet those children who were so favored by her didn’t even have the courage to admit their mistakes?

This is just too much!

For the incorrigible bad children, Yumo would not hesitate to take out the feather duster.

This time, the bottoms of the Black Rose family members had indeed become the "doomed souls under the blade" of the feather duster. If not for Pierre’s last-minute plea, Kalina and the others’ bottoms would have followed suit.

However, after putting away the feather duster, Yumo pondered a serious question.

Is spanking them every day really effective? I had educated them before not to lie to me, and even used the feather duster. But what about afterwards? Didn’t they still deceive me until now?

Therefore, the still fuming Yumo decided to change the punishment method, which was to drive the disobedient children out of the house! Wait for them to sincerely realize their mistakes before coming back!

However, after careful consideration, Yumo felt that this move was not quite suitable...

Because there were too many children who deceived her. Driving them all out? Her family would probably be gone...

Since almost all of them were bad children, she might as well leave herself.

Yumo knew that her children would definitely be anxious and worried after she left. But this was her purpose.

She wanted to make those bad children anxious and worried, so that they could clearly realize their mistakes! She was their mother, not a little fool who could be easily deceived!!

Hmph, If you dare to deceive your mother, you have to pay the price! And this time, it’s not as simple as a sore bottom!

Thinking of this, Yumo even clenched her fists and struck a spirited pose.

However, upon second thought, Yumo’s mood instantly fell again.

Emm, what if those children are too worried to sleep or eat well? Without me around, no one will look after them. Will they do something stupid?...

??

Ahhhhh!!

What am I thinking?!

Don’t think about that! This time, I must harden my heart and not be soft-hearted like before!

Suddenly shaking her head, Yumo expelled the soft-hearted thoughts from her mind and put on an icy expression. Apparently, this time Yumo wanted to be cold-hearted for once!

In order not to instinctively worry about her children situation, she shook her head and took a deep breath. Then, Yumo sat up straight and took out the luxurious menu on the airship.

"Anyway, let me see what delicious food there is, hehe~"

As the top luxury airship in the Holy Lomari Empire, the prices of the food on the White Swallow were not to be underestimated.

The price of each dish was enough to deter ordinary people.

Theoretically speaking, Yumo, who had run away from home, naturally couldn’t use the black card given by Xiao in order to avoid being caught by her children. After all, once she used the Black Rose family’s black card, Xiao and the others would immediately locate her position. Therefore, these dishes were undoubtedly not something Yumo could afford. In fact, Yumo shouldn’t even appear on this airship!

However, the penniless Yumo soon discovered a new way to make money!

As long as she took a stroll in the alleys of the city in the image of a frail girl, the city’s thugs, ruffians, slave traders, and little friends from the dark guilds would enthusiastically help her solve her financial difficulties.

This time, with their selfless help, Yumo no longer had to worry about insufficient funds.

Those slave traders and dark guilds also no longer had to worry about how to launder money.

It could be said to be a win-win situation.

"Indeed, there are good people in this world~"

Looking at the more than a dozen black cards donated by others in her handbag recently, Yumo happily hummed a tune.
