Abyssal Chronicles

Chapter 874 - 875: Yumo’s Complex Mood

"You little brat, who are you cursing?"

"Huh?"

Although the voice was pleasant and melodious like the sound of nature, the moment this voice entered his ears, Karos couldn’t help but tremble all over as if he had heard a call from the underworld. The terrifying memories buried deep in his mind instantly played out like a slideshow.

Huh?

This, this voice?

I, I couldn’t be hallucinating, right?

With an uneasy feeling, Karos took a deep breath and tremblingly turned his head to look behind him. However, as the next scene entered his eyes, he instantly felt like his heart had stopped. At the same time, he also understood why his companions had inexplicably fallen into a strange silence.

"You, you, why?!! Why are you here??"

At this moment on the throne where Karos was sitting before, a peerless black-haired girl in a black dress full of enchanting and bewitching aura had already sat there at some unknown time. Surrounded by several blood-red butterflies the girl’s black and red gradient hair fluttered in the wind and her eyes like red rubies indifferently gazed at Karos.

Usually if someone else dared to sit on the Elven King’s throne it would be considered a crime of desecrating the royal family and punished by hanging.

But now?

Those old stubborn ministers who valued the law on weekdays had already become as silent as cicadas in winter and those elven guards loyal to Karos had long disappeared. Of course let alone these small fries, even Karos himself who had become a high-level eighth rank with powerful strength didn’t dare to say a word.

Although he was a bit arrogant, he wasn’t arrogant to the point of losing his mind.

You should know, the main reason he dared to be a bit tough against the Black Rose was because of the black-haired girl in front of him. If this black-haired girl was unhappy with the elven race, their elven race might become history at any time.

Although he didn’t know why this Abyssal Demon Lord who had been missing for a long time suddenly came to the Elven Forest, this was obviously not a question Karos needed to consider now.

The top priority now was to appease this black-haired girl!

No matter what, her eyes looked so terrifying ahhhhhh!!

"Yu, Yumo-sama!! Wel.. welcome to my humble abode!!"

In an instant, under the complex gazes of the elven members, Karos flashed to Yumo’s side in an instant and smilingly brought her a cup of tea like a lackey. Under the guidance of his survival instinct, Karos threw away his dignity as a king without a second word. Anyway, he had thrown it away many times in the past six years, so throwing it away one more time didn’t matter.

The Elven King was like this, a very flexible existence.

While gently massaging Yumo’s shoulders, Karos asked with a smile:

"Hehehe, Yumo-sama, if you were coming, you should have told us in advance~, so we could prepare to welcome you."

Facing Karos’ attentiveness, Yumo smiled slightly and calmly took the teacup.

After taking a sip of tea, she coldly glanced at Karos:

"If I told you in advance, wouldn’t I miss the interesting scene of an Elven King spewing profanity? By the way, who did you say were sons of bitche?"

"Ah this? Ah no?!!"

As soon as these words came out, Karos instantly felt a chill down his spine and hurriedly scratched the back of his head with a dry laugh:

"Hehe, no, no! I, I meant, all of us in the elven race are sons of bitches! We are all bastards! I, I wasn’t talking about anyone else, really, really, ahahaa….!"

Seemingly also knowing that his words had no persuasive power, after seeing Yumo fall into silence, Karos didn’t care about the strange gazes of his subordinates and directly kowtowed to Miss Yumo!

"I’m very sorry! Yumo-sama!! I was just being loose-lipped just now. Please forgive me for my minor transgression!! This time, just this time… let me off the hook!! Pleaseeeee..."

While begging for mercy, Karos instinctively let out slight sobs.

If the elven race really perished because of a moment of loose lips, he would truly be left in tears.

Fortunately, the one who appeared in the temple was Miss Yumo, not Yumo’s children who had an abundance of desire to protect their mother.

Facing Karos’ begging, Yumo sighed helplessly:

"Alright, just don’t be loose-lipped next time."

Considering the Black Rose family’s past actions towards the elven race, it was understandable for the Elven King to curse a few times occasionally. The always magnanimous Yumo didn’t intend to make a fuss about it.

"Okay, don’t keep kneeling there. You don’t look like a king at all."

"Then, then you?"

"I said, I won’t pursue it this time."

Hearing this, Karos instantly swept away the unease and fear in his eyes and looked at Yumo with an extremely excited and grateful gaze:

"Th-thank you very much!! I, I will definitely, definitely be careful next time!"

"Alright, hurry and get up..."

"Yes yes yes yes!!"

After repeatedly nodding, Karos somersaulted up from the ground and directly came to Yumo’s side, continuing to massage her arms. Seeing this scene, the elven ministers in the hall had already entered a state of speechlessness. If they weren’t already familiar with their king’s character, these elven ministers would probably have their worldviews completely shattered.

While massaging, Karos hurriedly turned his gaze to Sobeni not far away:

"Sobeni, quickly go contact Xiao and tell them about Yumo-sama’s return!"

"Oh, okay, got it."

Slightly nodding, Sobeni immediately mobilized her magic power, preparing to go contact the Black Rose family.

However, just as she took her first step, a crushing force suddenly fell from the sky without warning, directly causing Sobeni’s face to change drastically. Her whole body lost balance and directly knelt on the ground.

At the same time, outside the palace, the elven soldiers who had been scared and ran away trembled all over, their eyes rolled back, and they fainted.

Just as everyone was puzzled by the black-haired girl’s intention, Yumo’s cold voice slowly floated into the ears of everyone present:

"The matter of my return must not be spread, especially not to the Black Rose and my children. Understand?"

"Ah?"

Hearing this, Karos, who had barely maintained his consciousness, showed a trace of a difficult expression.

The reason the Black Rose family was willing to give the elven race so much autonomy was not only because of the restraint of Yumo’s prestige. It was also because he, as the Elven King, had secretly reached an agreement with the Black Rose family. That was, as soon as Yumo’s whereabouts were discovered, he would immediately inform Xiao.

The Black Rose family had also made concessions to let the elven race actively cooperate with their search plan.

This was different from sending an engagement gift. This was a matter of principle between two major forces.

If the Black Rose family found out that he knew but didn’t report, the situation afterwards would probably be...

"Yumo-sama, that, the people from Black Rose are very worried about your safety. Since you’re back, why don’t you let them know you’re safe? Besides, I also promised Duke Xiao that if there was news of you, I would definitely tell him the first time. Otherwise..."

"Otherwise, let your elven race pay a heavy price?"

"Mm, sort, sort of."

"Then if you tell them, what if I destroy you all now? What do you think?"

"Ah?!!"

Hearing this, Karos instantly showed a look of horror.

"…"

"So, what’s your decision?"

Saying that, Yumo’s eyes narrowed slightly, and a chilling killing intent gradually overflowed from her eyes. The cold air even vaguely condensed into a substantialized sharp blade, suddenly piercing through Karos’ body.

In the end, under Yumo’s might, Karos could only nod his head with tears in his eyes:

"I understand, I won’t tell the Black Rose family..."

The Elven King lowered his head in aggrievement.

At the same time, Karos began to pray inwardly. Praying that the matter of helping Yumo conceal today would not be found out by those ancestors of the Black Rose.

Seeing Karos sensibly lower his head, Yumo also retracted her released cold air, allowing the elven officials to let out a sigh of relief as if a heavy burden had been lifted.

Karos was the same.

However, after catching his breath a few times, this Elven King seemed unable to hold back his curiosity and asked Yumo in puzzlement:

"Then Yumo-sama, why, why are you unwilling to let the Black Rose family know about this? They have really been looking for you for many years."

"..."

Yumo was a bit at a loss for words regarding this question.

She seemed a bit guilty as she shifted her gaze and silently took a sip of tea:

"How should I put this... I, I want to, to observe from the shadows first and see if those children have, have turned over a new leaf..."

Also, leaving home without a word, and then coming back on my own after such a long time?

I always feel, it’s very embarrassing...

Yumo muttered inwardly with mixed feelings.
