Abyssal Chronicles

Chapter 870 - 871: Pipi Gets Teased

Aya’s illustration has been posted in the comment section in Chapter 71

-Holy Lomari Empire, Imperial Capital - Wisteria.

Deep within the Imperial Palace, in a heavily guarded hot spring lake, a alluring scene was quietly unfolding.

Splash~

Accompanied by a crisp sound and a splash of water, in the thick mist, a pair of beautiful legs suddenly stretched out from the water, leisurely swinging up and down, constantly kicking the water surface. It was a pair of slender, moist, and well-proportioned legs. The beautiful lotus feet silently exuded a seductive aura. Paired with the water droplets constantly sliding down his skin, these legs were constantly sending out a tempting invitation to the onlookers.

Fortunately, the nearby palace maids all had strong willpower. If there were men here, they would inevitably experience a surge of blood.

After playing in the water for a while, the legs finally gradually settled down and quietly soaked in the water. And the owner of these legs, the girl with curly, jade-green hair, as if tired of playing, wearily leaned against a giant rock at the edge of the hot spring.

After taking a sip of wine, the green-haired girl, who was Aya, raised the necklace emitting a faint blue light in front of her chest with a face full of longing.

The next moment, the girl complained somewhat helplessly:

"Pipi is really too much. Not coming back to protect me, making me so scared recently~"

As the words came out, the communication magic stone necklace on Aya’s chest also gradually rippled with special magic power fluctuations. Compared to a normal communication magic stone, the one inlaid on Aya’s necklace was much smaller in size. Although this made the magic stone more convenient to carry, it also lost quite a few functions.

This magic stone had become a tool that could only receive energy fluctuations from a certain person and could only communicate with a specific individual.

And this person was naturally the "head maid" that Aya trusted the most~

It’s just that, after hearing Aya’s fake pitiful voice, a voice full of annoying tone and carrying a displeased emotion slowly transmitted from the magic stone:

"Cut it out. Trying to trick me into coming back to work overtime for you again? No way!"

"Wuwu, but, but, what if those bad people want to harm me~"

"Tsk, enough already."

Pipi responded disdainfully:

"Come on, what bad people? Since six years ago when I helped you get rid of all your competitors and made you the Empress, who would dare to make a move against you? The families within the empire are all struggling to survive now. How could they think about eliminating you every day like before? Even if someone overestimates their abilities and wants to kill you, don’t you still have several Nightingale experts by your side? What are you afraid of? Besides, as long as you stay in the palace, Kalina’s power can protect you! How could there be any bad people? I’m afraid as soon as the bad people enter the palace, they would vanish into thin air, So, in my opinion, you are the bad woman, you just want to trick me into going back to work overtime! No way! Don’t think I’ll be fooled like before!"

It seemed that after experiencing six years, our classmate Pierre had naturally grown quite a bit and learned to use his brain to analyze, no longer easily manipulated by Aya like before.

Hearing Pipi’s answer, a hint of surprise even flashed across Aya’s face.

"Wow, Pipi is so smart now?"

"What do you mean by smart now?!! I’ve always been very smart, hmph!"

"Okay okay, always been very smart~"

"Tsk, good that you know. So what else do you have to say? Hurry up and say it. I still have things to deal with."

Hearing this, Aya, who was soaking in the hot spring, smiled slightly and rarely spoke sincerely:

"Actually, you know, recently, those ministers and people from the major families have started urging me to get married again, making me almost annoyed to death."

"Is that so? I know. Do you need me to get rid of them?"

"Of course not. How would the empire function then?"

"Ah, that’s true."

"So, I have a good idea."

"Hm? What idea?"

"Pipi, why don’t you marry me?"

The casual words spoke of jaw-dropping content.

After hearing this, the light of the communication magic stone dimmed briefly.

And after a few seconds, Pipi’s panicked voice suddenly transmitted from the communication magic stone:

"M-m-marry?!! Wh-wh-what kind of joke is this?!! Why, why bring this up again? I, I, I, why, why should I marry you?! You, you, you being urged to marry, what, what does it have to do with me?!!"

"Sigh, yeah, it indeed has nothing to do with Pipi. But... if I keep getting urged, I won’t be able to focus on managing the country. If I can’t manage Holy Lomari well, I also won’t be able to integrate the country’s resources to help Pipi find Lady Yumo. Sigh, what should I do then?"

"Ah, this... Then, then why me?"

"Hm? It’s very simple~ Because I like Pipi~ Marrying someone else would make me very uncomfortable~"

"Huh?! You’re lying, right? Using me every day and still liking me, who would believe you..."

"Hehe, whether it’s true or not, Pipi will know in the future, right~?"

"You? Uh... I, I’ll think about it. I didn’t say I agree! I’m just saying I’ll consider it first!"

"Okay okay~, I know. Take your time to think about it, Pipi~"

As for Pipi’s answer, Aya had expected it long ago. The girl was not in a hurry and listened with relish to Pipi’s strange voice, imagining her head maid’s flushed face. At some point, teasing Pipi had become a great source of fun in Aya’s life. A day without teasing Pipi was not a complete day.

It was precisely because of this that Aya deliberately used the communication magic stone to contact Pipi after finishing a day’s work. Aya also needed to regularly express her attitude and stimulate that blockhead.

However, she had mentioned dating, sleeping together, and even getting married so many times, yet this guy still had this dumb reaction?

Sigh, should I say as expected of Pipi?

How did I fall for such a fool?

Aya smiled wryly in helplessness.

After shaking her head, as if to help Pipi ease the awkwardness, Aya brought up another matter:

"By the way, speaking of marriage. Pipi, your little sister Yuan’er’s engagement banquet is coming up soon. Lady Kalina asked me to tell you, don’t forget to go, and don’t forget to prepare a gift. Otherwise, your little sister will be very angry."

...

At the same time, on the other end of the communication magic stone, after taking a few deep breaths, Pipi gradually suppressed his agitated heart, and his flushed face gradually returned to normal. Looking down at the necklace emitting a faint blue light on his chest, Pipi responded impatiently:

"I know this. How could I possibly be absent from my little sister’s engagement banquet? Don’t worry unnecessarily..."

It’s just that, before going to Night Wish City, he still needed to deal with some things.

"No more chit-chat. I have important matters to handle."

After briefly reminding Aya to take care of her health, Pipi ended the communication with Aya and slowly shifted his gaze forward. And at this moment, as the smoke dissipated, a ruined inn suddenly appeared around Pierre. After the lightning storm attack just now, the entire inn no longer existed.

Although he unintentionally affected many innocent humans and mercenaries, as a Demon King existence who had always despised human lives, Pipi didn’t care about the casualties of the surrounding humans. He directly ignored the wails coming from under the ruins.

It couldn’t be helped that they were affected too.

If you want to blame someone, blame yourselves for staying in the same place as these guys.

"Hehe, just like this. With this level of strength, you actually want to assassinate Aya?"

After a cold laugh, Pierre, who was wearing a black windbreaker and had changed into men’s clothing for the first time in a long while, tightly grasped the neck of a certain human male and pressed him hard against a nearly shattered stone pillar. As for this man’s companions, they were either unconscious in a pool of blood, buried under the ruins, or directly vaporized by Pierre’s lightning just now... They had no strength to help that man.

After having his neck grabbed, although this brown-haired man struggled constantly, due to the huge disparity in strength, no matter how hard he tried, he could never shake Pierre’s hand.

Facing the man’s struggle, Pierre’s eyes narrowed slightly, and a chilling killing intent gradually overflowed from them.

"Don’t you know that Aya is someone I’m protecting? She is mine, do you small fries think you can touch her? Overestimating yourselves! Honestly confess, who are you? Who sent you?"

As Pierre’s words fell, strange howls suddenly came from all directions.

The next instant, under the terrified gaze of the brown-haired man, countless pitch-black monsters covered in ferocious scales crawled out of the lake one after another, or walked out of the dense forest, slowly surrounding the entire inn. And these Abyssal Demons summoned by Pierre immediately locked their hungry eyes on the brown-haired man, directly making the latter feel a chill down his spine.

The corners of Pierre’s mouth slowly curled up, revealing a cruel and cold smile.

"If you don’t talk, I’ll let you know what it means to beg for life but unable to die."
