Volume 2, Chapter 44 – The Witch Secretly Scheming Behind the Scenes

“So, you got the video too, right?”

“Yes, her amusing herself with her tail, quite the spectacle.”

“Very well.”

“But, Lady Yelena, are you sure this is enough to control her? She is a Divine-Graced Maiden after all.”

“Divine-Graced Maiden or not, at the root, she’s just an ordinary human with slightly stronger powers. Hilgena is a Divine-Graced Maiden with an extremely high sense of shame and great concern for her reputation. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have agreed to participate in the subjugation of the Terran Malevolence. She absolutely would not allow her succubus identity to be exposed, nor this video to be leaked. Using this against her won’t be difficult.”

“Understood.”

“By the way, Yuehuai, let me remind you. Although you have leverage over her, remember not to push too far. Even a cornered rabbit will bite.”

“I understand, Lady Yelena.”

At this moment, on a mountain peak outside the Forsaken Metropolis Visas, after receiving Yuehuai’s report, a bewitching smile emerged on the face beneath the black shadowy figure’s hood.

Heh, hehe.

“With the Divine-Graced Maiden of Maretide Kingdom… now we can really mess with those fools in Maretide Kingdom.”

After her ghostly laugh, the shadowy figure turned her attention to the metal tower standing in front. This metal tower was the ancient weapon that had been activated by the twins earlier, releasing the “Dawn Dominion Pillar.”

Well, something from a thousand years ago, calling it an “ancient weapon” isn’t wrong, is it?

Now that the purpose had been fulfilled, there was no need to keep this tower anymore.

Thinking of this, the crimson eyes under the shadowy figure’s hood narrowed slightly. In the next moment, as curse power surged, the mechanical tower silently trembled. One after another, energy runes emitting a crimson glow floated out from the mechanical tower and continuously gathered in the shadowy figure’s hand.

When the curse power fluctuations stopped, a ball of energy emitting red light had appeared in the shadowy figure’s hand.

Meanwhile, the metal tower aged at a visible rate, instantly becoming dilapidated, with steel plates falling off one after another, crashing heavily to the ground.

However, just as the shadowy figure finished collecting the energy and was preparing to disperse, a voice filled with dissatisfaction quietly came from behind.

“A repair spell? So it was you who was behind this.”

Following the voice, the shadowy figure looked back.

At this moment, a sexily dressed cat-eared woman with a swaying tail had appeared behind the shadowy figure at some unknown time. Tilting her head, with arms crossed over her chest, her pretty face was written all over with three big words: ‘not happy’.

“Oh, Serveiling, long time no see, doing well?”

“Not well.”

Serveiling replied irritably. As she answered, Serveiling’s gaze couldn’t help but turn to the collapsing tower behind.

“I knew it. This mechanical tower should have been scrapped over a thousand years ago. Why would it suddenly activate? So it was your doing. When you came back last time, sneaking out to the suburbs, it was to implant the repair spell into the tower, right?”

“Miya said earlier that there was a flash of light at the tower, so she ran over. And that mysterious activation base… you deliberately led those two little girls to touch such a dangerous weapon.”

“Yelena, you’ve gone too far.”

Staring at the shadowy figure that was essentially an avatar, Serveiling said irritably.

Perhaps due to years of companionship and guidance, Serveiling was no longer as cold towards the twins as before.

Whether it was Miya, Weiya, or Ailiya, they had gradually gained a sister-like status in her eyes.

With her sisters’ safety threatened, Serveiling’s mood naturally couldn’t be good.

In response, the black shadowy figure helplessly waved her hand:

“Sorry, Serveiling. But I hope you can understand me a bit. I did this for the boss and the entire Terrabond Lineage.”

“For the boss?”

“Yes, if I hadn’t done this, how could I have lured the Westivian Covenant to send troops? How could I have helped the boss get a Divine-Graced Maiden?”

“Divine-Graced Maiden?”

Serveiling’s brow slightly furrowed, and something unusual flashed in her eyes.

“What do you need a Divine-Graced Maiden for?”

“Remember when I told you earlier that there might be a way to help the boss slow down her body’s breakdown process?”

“This method is to devour a Divine-Graced Maiden?!”

“Mm.”

The shadowy figure nodded noncommittally.

“From the current situation, the practical effect of this method isn’t bad. After devouring all of Hilgena’s Augury Force and Primordial Core, Lianna’s disguised body not only stopped collapsing but was even reconstructed. The boss’s mind isn’t as simple as before either.”

“It’s effective… that’s good.”

Hearing this, Serveiling couldn’t help but sigh in relief. However, in the next moment, the cat-eared woman glared sharply at the shadowy figure:

“Then the boss being inexplicably ‘kidnapped’ earlier was also your idea?! I’m telling you, Yelena, why didn’t you tell us about such an important matter sooner! You nearly scared me to death at that time.”

“Sorry, Serveiling. I felt that if I didn’t tell you, your performances would be more genuine. Otherwise, if Moande and those guys had noticed something amiss, it would have been awkward.”

Although Moande was eventually lured over, it turned out to be a fake body.

Such a cautious guy.

Thinking of this, chillingly cold light suddenly overflowed from the crimson eyes under the hood.

Faced with this answer from the shadowy figure, although Serveiling felt displeased deep down, she also couldn’t say much.

“So what about the end? Why did you let the boss and those girls all go to the human world?… Weren’t you always against this before?”

“That was the boss’s own idea.”

The shadowy figure smiled somewhat helplessly:

“The boss is, after all, the leader of the Terrabond Lineage. If we always go against her wishes… the boss would cry. Besides…”

“What?”

“In the boss’s current state, going to the human world isn’t necessarily a bad thing. From my perspective, the boss now has the best condition she’s had in the past thousand years.”

Serveiling: …

Meanwhile, thousands of miles away, in the Lingyuan family estate.

In the quiet room, soft moonlight filtered through the gaps in the curtains onto the floor, adding a touch of serenity and warmth to the entire space. In the center of the large bed, Bai Lianyue slept quietly, her breathing even and gentle, her face peaceful and serene, as if all troubles had left her at this moment.

The two sisters, Ailiya and Weiya, hugged Bai Lianyue’s arms, one on the left and one on the right. Their heads rested lightly on her shoulders, their faces bearing satisfied smiles. Ailiya’s silver hair shimmered faintly in the moonlight, her eyelashes trembling slightly, as if in a sweet dream. Weiya nestled tightly against Bai Lianyue’s side, her small hand gripping her sleeve tightly, as if afraid her mother would leave.

Miya lay carelessly by Bai Lianyue’s head, her sleeping posture unrestrained, one leg casually draped over Bai Lianyue’s chest, the other extending over the edge of the bed. The corner of her mouth curved slightly upward, as if she was still mischievous in her dreams. Despite her somewhat casual posture, her face still carried a kind of innocent happiness.

The entire room was filled with a warm atmosphere~

At the same time, outside the room, peering through the door crack and taking in the warmth within, Naro, the current chief butler of the Lingyuan family, couldn’t help but reveal a heartfelt smile of satisfaction.

The mistress and the young ladies, they’ve all returned.

“This is wonderful…”

Once upon a time, he thought he would never see them again. Now, all at once… they had all returned. Naro sometimes couldn’t help but pinch his own cheek to confirm he wasn’t dreaming.

After nodding with satisfaction, Naro slowly turned around and respectfully looked at the silver-haired man behind him.

“Would you like to see, Lord Luo Fei? The mistress and the young ladies?”

As he spoke, Naro moved aside, giving the precious position at the door crack to Luo Fei.

However, after thoughtfully glancing at the door crack, Luo Fei turned away coldly.

“No need. Take care of the mistress and the young ladies, I’m heading back to the Northmarch Stronghold first.”

“So soon?”

Closing the door, Naro anxiously kept up with Luo Fei’s pace.

“I can’t be away for too long, or the Vassal of Sky might make a big move. Although Ulutiel is recuperating, those Vassal Tier under her command have been stirring up trouble again recently. We can’t be careless. Besides…”

As he spoke, Luo Fei slightly turned his head, calmly scanning the location of the bedroom.

“My presence here would make them uncomfortable.”

“Lord Luo Fei…”

Hearing this, Naro could only sigh helplessly.

While sighing, Naro seemed to think of something and asked curiously:

“By the way, Lord Luo Fei. Why did you suddenly rush to the Veiled Domain this time? Weren’t you saying before that you wouldn’t participate in this operation?”

“Just a sudden impulse.”

The silver-haired man answered simply.

As he answered, Luo Fei thoughtfully looked at his palm…

And at this moment,

in Luo Fei’s palm was a special coin… a coin engraved with a bellflower pattern…
