Abyssal Chronicles

Chapter 875 - 876: The Guidance of Holy Light

Of course, worrying about losing face was only one of the reasons why Yumo didn’t want to reveal her identity.

How to face her own children was also a very tangled issue for Yumo at the moment.

She had left home so abruptly six years ago without any warning. The children must be very disappointed in their irresponsible mother, right?

Suddenly leaving, without explaining anything.

The children must have been worried sick, right?

And after being away for so long, what would happen to little Yuan’er and little Youlan? Would they think that she had abandoned them and they end up hating her?

Ahhhhh!!

It seems possible, right?! Many of the family dramas she had watched in her real world before had similar plots!

The mother abandons the children and leaves, and the children hate the mother after growing up?!

Although according to Yumo’s original plan, she only needed a few weeks to suppress that fool, and then she could secretly sneak back to the continent. When the children realized their mistakes and regretted, she would make a shining appearance~

However, the facts proved that Yumo had overestimated her own strength. This process of hers actually took a whole six years?! Six years!! Directly missing the most important growth period of her little children!

Even if it wasn’t intentional, what would the children think?!

They would definitely think this mother is irresponsible, a piece of trash (???) ...

As for other people, seeing that she hadn’t come back for so long, they would definitely resent her for abandoning them, right?

Thinking about the possibility of being disliked by her two little ones and disdained by her babies, Yumo felt a heart-wrenching pain. Her whole body couldn’t help but become dazed. Tears even vaguely welled up in her scarlet eyes.

(???)I don’t want to be hated by my children...

For a moment, seeing the black-haired girl suddenly become depressed, Karos couldn’t help but show a dumbfounded expression.

It felt like if this continued, the atmosphere would become worse.

Moreover, Karos wasn’t sure if it was his illusion. This Abyssal Demon Lord in front of him, the mother of Demon Kings, seemed to have a feeling of almost crying? Although it didn’t seem very likely, Karos felt he still had to stop it.

So, after taking a deep breath, this Elven King asked the doubt that had been buried in his heart for a long time:

"Uh, Yumo-sama, you, you suddenly came to our Elven Forest, is there something you need?"

As soon as these words came out, the elven ministers who had been trembling in the hall for a long time also turned their gazes to the black-haired girl. Obviously, they were also very curious as to why this Abyssal Demon Lord who had been missing for a long time suddenly appeared and why she suddenly came to the Elven Forest.

As Karos’ words entered her ears, Yumo couldn’t help but be stunned.

Her somewhat wandering thoughts also returned to her body at this moment.

The girl, who had come back to her senses, quickly stabilized her mind, put away the entanglement and worry on her face, and showed an indifferent expression.

"Actually, I just want to ask you for a favor."

"A favor?"

"Mm, Night Wish City has been quite lively recently, right?"

"Night Wish City? Oh, right. Miss Yuan’er is getting engaged... Hm? Wait, Yumo-sama, could it be that you want to…"

Seeing the slightly startled Karos, Yumo slightly nodded, confirming the other party’s guess:

"Mm, yes. With my current situation, it’s a bit difficult to secretly enter Night Wish City. So, I hope you can help me. The elven race is the number one distinguished guest at this engagement banquet, right? Bringing a few more people shouldn’t be a big problem, right?"

"But, but, if you follow our team, wouldn’t it be too, too conspicuous?"

"Don’t worry, I won’t go to Night Wish City in this form. As for what specific form? It depends on what identity you arrange for me."

…

While Yumo was discussing matters with Karos and the other elven higher-ups, on the other side, in a certain inn under the Natural Mother Tree, Kain, who had been forcibly brought over, was pacing back and forth in the room with unease, occasionally glancing at the clock and occasionally looking out the window at the majestic palace built on the Natural Mother Tree.

While walking, Kain also bit his fingers and muttered something in his mouth.

Seeing Kain continuously walking back and forth in the room like this, Yue, who was sitting on the bed reading a comic, couldn’t help but frown. Her temper was not very good to begin with. She slowly raised her hand, and a long whip constructed from crimson energy suddenly appeared.

"You idiot, try walking one more time?"

"Huh??!!"

Hearing this, Kain instantly felt a chill down his spine. His body instinctively curled up in the corner of the wall and directly shook his head until it blurred:

"I don’t dare, I don’t dare, I don’t dare, I don’t dare!!!"

"Then sit down and don’t disturb this young lady’s reading!"

"Yes!!"

Seemingly recalling the painful experience of being whipped half to death before, facing Yue’s scolding, Kain no longer had the appearance of an adventurer team leader. He directly sat on the sofa in fright, not daring to move.

However, due to the worry in his heart that was difficult to suppress, Kain finally asked his concern.

While speaking, he also nervously watched the outside of the window, looking like he was worried about being discovered.

"Uh, Miss Yue? This is the elven race’s territory! They are a powerful race that combines ancient, elegant, and powerful in one!! If Lady Yumo’s identity is discovered?! Wouldn’t it be very dangerous?!"

After getting along for this period of time and experiencing what happened on the small island, Kain had already vaguely guessed Yumo’s identity.

Although he wasn’t sure who exactly she was, Kain could be certain that she was definitely related to Abyssal Demons!

The Abyssal Demons were evil, while the elven race had always been the guardians of justice.

If Yumo’s identity was exposed in the Elven Forest, wouldn’t the consequences be unimaginable?

Not only would she be in danger!

If that black-haired girl was taken out, as a companion, he would definitely also be purged by the elven race!!

He didn’t want to be implicated so aggrievedly and then pass away!

"Sh-should we, hurry, hurry and leave? Call lady Yumo and..."

"You stupid human..."

Facing Kain’s worries, Yue directly gave him a disdainful eye roll.

"I know what you’re thinking. Nothing more than being afraid of conflict involving you, you cowardly trash. However, you don’t need to worry. Those elven cowards know my master’s identity."

"Huh?? They, they know??"

Kain couldn’t help but be stunned, blinking his eyes in disbelief:

"You’re saying the elven race knows her identities? And are still willing to help her? They can actually tolerate it?"

"If they can’t tolerate it, then it’s seeking their own death. Rest assured, the elven race doesn’t have the guts to make a move against master. As for the rest, don’t ask too much."

"Is, is that so?"

Kain scratched his head, looking like he found it hard to believe.

Obviously, the elven race, the noble race in his heart, was actually involved with Abyssal Demons? This made Kain a bit unable to accept it for a while.

However, considering Yue’s temperament, Kain also knew that she wouldn’t bother deceiving a mere ant like himself.

After taking a deep breath and pondering for a moment, Kain asked another question:

"Uh, Miss Yue, let me ask... Should, should I go out and do some shopping? There’s still a long way to go to Night Wish City. Things need, need to be prepared in advance."

"Hm? That, it’s probably not necessary."

"Huh? Wh-why?"

"Since we’ve already arrived at the elven race, there’s no need for you to accompany master from now on."

"Huh?"

"Previously, letting you lead us was only because you had a regular identity card, convenient for moving around, lodging, shopping, booking tickets and such, all had to rely on you. Now that we’ve reached the elven race, the Elven King should arrange for master to go to Night Wish City next. The matters after that, you don’t need to worry about."

"Ah? So, so I was just a tool?"

"Good that you know."

Looking at the comic in her hand, Yue bluntly stated a cruel fact:

"If it weren’t for your wallet and identity card being more useful, why would we bring along a troublesome fellow like you?"

"..."

For a moment, Kain lowered his head with some complex emotions.

And at this time, Yue suddenly spoke up, taking the initiative to talk to Kain for the first time:

"By the way, human, since I’ve answered so many if your questions, you should also answer a few for me."

"Ah?"

Regarding Yue’s question, Kain was stunned at first, then dully nodded:

"O-okay, what, what is it?"

"How did you find that small island where master and I were before? Even landing on the island at the same time as another group, did you guys plan it together?"

"No, no we didn’t."

"Then how could it be such a coincidence?"

"I, I don’t know either. Anyway, after breaking through the Dead Sea waves, we saw that island and then, then went ashore."

"Hm? Dead Sea waves?"

Hearing these three words, a trace of surprise flashed through Yue’s eyes. She even looked at Kain with some admiration:

"Didn’t expect you little brat to have some skill. You were actually able to lead a ship to break through the Dead Sea waves? You should know, the vast majority of humans, when encountering the waves, are helpless and waiting to die. How did you do it?"

"I, I actually didn’t do much either."

"Hm, didn’t do much? Are you joking? If you didn’t do anything, how could you escape the Dead Sea waves?"

"Uh, it’s not right to say I did nothing. For me, it’s just..."

Awkwardly scratching his head, recalling the perilous scene of that day, Kain still felt lingering fear.

"For me, it was actually just, just following the guiding signal... and then left the Dead Sea waves."

"What, guiding signal? What nonsense are you talking about? Where would there be a guiding signal on the Dead Sea?"

"Uh, it can’t really be called a guiding signal. At that time, it seemed like I vaguely saw a golden light in the wind and waves. Then, I don’t know why, as if possessed, I steered the ship towards that direction. Then, then we came out."

"Huh? Golden light?"

Hearing Kain’s words, Yue blinked her eyes in even more confusion.
