Abyssal Chronicles

Chapter 918 - 919: Welcome Party

Yumo didn’t want to harm Mengxi’s people.

In that case, It would be better to change the plan.

Anyway, my ultimate goal was to enter the holy capital Vinati. I might as well let them take me there.

Thinking of this, Under the gazes of everyone filled with anticipation and extraordinary excitement, Yumo slightly nodded her head.

"Alright, I’ll go back with you."

"Really?!! That’s great!!"

Receiving this answer, Haiying suddenly became overjoyed, even excitedly leaping up and enthusiastically punching the air. It could be seen how excited his mood was. It was normal to be excited because he had completed the Church Nation’s most important task in the past six years! He had found the Empress Consort who had been missing for six years!

As long as he brought the Empress Consort back, he believed he would be able to see Her Majesty’s smile again.

Moreover, The last bit of unease in Haiying’s heart completely dissipated with these words. When making the request, Haiying had been worried that the Empress Consort would refuse to return to the holy capital Vinati. After all, Her Highness had inexplicably disappeared for a full six years before. If she wanted to return to Her Majesty’s side, she should have gone back long ago.

But Her Highness had delayed until now? Perhaps she had some unspeakable difficulties and was unwilling to return to the holy capital Vinati?

If the Her Highness, was unwilling to return to the holy capital with them, what should he do? Forcibly bringing the Empress Consort back would be the crime of disrespecting a superior... But doing nothing and letting Her Highness, leave would be the crime of dereliction of duty. Therefore, Haiying had been very conflicted before.

Fortunately, now, With Yumo’s reply, Haiying could finally breathe a sigh of relief and respectfully bowed to her in gratitude.

"Thank you for your cooperation Your Highness. This lowly one will immediately go prepare the carriage and teleportation array for returning to the imperial capital."

However, Just as Haiying was about to enthusiastically leave the dungeon, he suddenly remembered a rather serious issue.

Wait?!

Since that brown-haired village girl just now was Her Highness in disguise, then that fellow Gaslin?! Wasn’t he trying to take advantage of the Empress Consort?!! He dared to lay hands on Her Majesty’s woman?!! Damn, do you not want to see tomorrow’s sun?!!

"Please wait a moment Your Highness. This lowly one needs to handle a matter first."

As soon as he finished speaking,

Haiying quietly turned his head and locked his gaze, filled with coldness and murderous intent, onto Gaslin not far away.

Being glared at like this, Gaslin instantly shuddered, retreating backward like a frightened soul. At this moment, Gaslin’s eyes were wide open, his legs and hands began to tremble uncontrollably like a sieve, no longer having the appearance of a bishop, but rather a fat middle-aged man scared out of his wits.

"Ha-Haiying, my lord?! Wh-what are you doing?!"

Feeling Haiying’s murderous gaze, under the guidance of his desire to survive, the tearful Gaslin hurriedly raised his hand, trying to stop this Church Nation Wing whose eyes were glowing red.

"Lord Haiying, I-I didn’t know she was the Empress Consort, just now! I really didn’t know! If I had known, how would I have dared to touch her! Pl-please, please calm down!"

Unfortunately, Knowing that Her Highness had been harassed and believing it was due to his lack of protection, Haiying could no longer hear Gaslin’s words. He slowly rolled up his sleeves, revealing his sturdy and massive biceps. Then, he slammed his fist into Gaslin’s fat face, forcefully sending the pleas for mercy that Gaslin was trying to utter back into his stomach.

"Shut up! You fat pig!!! You dare to make excuses after harassing Her Highness?! Do you have a death wish?"

Accompanied by angry roars, Haiying pressed Gaslin onto the ground and beat him up without a second word.

In an instant, Blood splattered, and miserable screams echoed throughout the dungeon.

Regarding the scene of Gaslin being beaten up, his subordinates watched with fear and trepidation, the Anbite tribe girls watched with joy and laughter, and the Silver Arrowhead knights were completely in a state of eagerness to join in. Unfortunately, the enraged Haiying had no intention of letting his subordinates participate. He just kept swinging his fists, each punch landing solidly, quickly turning Gaslin into a nearly dead pig that could only exhale and not inhale.

Of course, Yumo was delighted to see such a scene.

She never let off those who tried to take advantage of her.

Perhaps, Gaslin should be grateful that it was Haiying who made the move in the end, not Yumo. You should know that if it were her, he would probably have already become a meal for the Abyssal Demons by now... and not barely clinging to life like he was now.

…

A few minutes later, Seeing that Haiying had beaten him enough, Yumo slowly stood up and, under the escort of a few Silver Arrowhead knights, came behind Haiying:

"Your name is Haiying, right?"

"Huh?!! Yes, yes, that’s right!"

Hearing Yumo’s voice, Haiying immediately threw Gaslin, who was like a dead dog, to his subordinates and excitedly met Yumo’s gaze.

"Do you have any orders, Your Highness!"

"Uh, can you not keep calling me Your Highness? It’s a bit... awkward. Can’t you just call me by my name?"

"I apologize, Your Highness, but I cannot comply with that request. Your Highness, is Her Majesty’s wife. As subordinates, we can only address you as Your Highness. Besides, Her Majesty said! Whoever dares to directly call Your Highness by her name will have their butt beaten to a pulp!!"

Haiying said very decisively.

"Sigh, alright then."

"Thank you for your understanding, Your Highness."

"Let me ask you something."

"Please ask."

"After taking me back, what do you plan to do?"

"This lowly one?"

Haiying was stunned for a moment, then showed a joyful expression and excitedly patted his chest, speaking with a tone of certainty as if it were a matter of course:

"Of course, we’ll hold a celebration banquet!! Inform the entire nation of the news of Your Highness’s return!! The whole nation will have a week off to celebrate Your Highness’s return! Then, the central cathedral will definitely hold a grand ceremony, inviting important figures from all walks of life in the empire to participate and offer blessings to Your Highness! Umm, and also..."

"Okay, okay! Don’t say anymore."

Yumo hurriedly waved her hand to stop Haiying’s next words.

"I don’t want it to be so lively."

"Huh? You don’t like it?"

"Yeah, I want to keep a low profile. Don’t spread the news of my return to the holy capital. It’s fine if only a few high-ranking officials know."

"What about the welcome banquet?"

"It doesn’t matter. If you insist on holding one, just keep it small-scale and low-key. Anyway, don’t let the news of finding me spread, understand?"

"This..."

Haiying was puzzled by Yumo’s request:

"Isn’t this something worth celebrating? Everyone in the Church Nation has been searching for you for so long, and now that we’ve finally..."

"Don’t say anymore. I naturally have my own difficulties for being like this."

Yumo averted her gaze in a conflicted manner.

Although she agreed to return to the holy capital to see Mengxi as the Empress Consort, Yumo still didn’t want the news of her arrival in the Church Nation to spread.

If the news spread, Yumo was worried that her children would be overly concerned about her safety and do something outrageous.

You should know,

The relationship between the Church Nation and her children was quite delicate right now.

"Just do as I say."

"Yes, As you wish, Your Highness."

Although somewhat reluctant, Haiying still decisively chose to respect her wishes. This person was someone who had silently supported Her Majesty from behind and was unfathomable. Perhaps she would consider some issues that he had never thought of. It was best to fulfill his duty as a subject and follow the Empress Consort’s intentions.

"In order to not let the Church Nation continue searching for your whereabouts, this lowly one will only inform a few important figures about your return. As for the welcome banquet, it was Her Majesty’s request back then, but this lowly one will try to keep it simple and low-key."

"Mm, then thank you."

The black-haired girl let out a long sigh of relief and responded to Haiying with a charming smile.

Umm,

A Church Nation Wing loyal to Mengxi?

Well, He seems quite reliable.

Yumo made such a judgment to herself.

…

However,

A few days later,

Inside the central Silver Moon Grand Cathedral in the holy capital Vinati, looking at the sea of people attending the banquet in the cathedral and feeling the hundreds of enthusiastic gazes converging on her, Yumo’s brows twitched furiously, and her body froze on the spot. At this moment, Yumo had the urge to take back her words from that day.

Taking a deep breath, Yumo, who was suppressing the urge to punch someone, tremblingly turned her head to look at Haiying beside her, who had a proud expression.

"Haiying."

"Yes! Do you have any orders, Your Highness!"

Like a loyal dog, Haiying instantly scurried to Yumo’s side.

However,

At this moment, Yumo’s mind was filled with the urge to strangle this loyal dog to death.

"I say, Haiying, do you have some kind of misunderstanding about the word ’low-key’? (0_0)... What the hell kind of low-key is this?!!!!"
