Volume 2, Chapter 47 – The Malevolent Goddess’s Secret Weapon, Beautiful yet Bitter

“The kitchen? The intruder came through the kitchen?” Upon receiving this information, Naro blinked in confusion.

Meanwhile, as explosions and alarm sounds spread, countless elite guards of the Lingyuan family quickly surrounded the family cafeteria on the south side.

“What is that?!” After catching sight of the smoke-filled second floor of the cafeteria, Security Chief Niyi, who had just arrived, immediately displayed an angry expression.

“Those bastards! The lady and her daughter have only been back for one day, and they already can’t resist stirring up trouble? Truly wretches deserving death!”

“Big brother, if the intruder is looking for the lady and her daughter, why didn’t they go to the main residence in the center? Why come to the south area cafeteria instead? This place is closest to the guards’ dormitory, making it the most dangerous location.” A yellow-haired youth who had just put on his uniform asked in confusion.

In response, Security Chief Niyi seemed to lack the patience to explain: “Why think so much? Let’s capture them first and torture them! Then we’ll know everything!”

Clearly, the Lingyuan family’s security chief was extremely angry that someone dared to infiltrate the Lingyuan estate.

In the next moment, cyan spiritual power at the Divine Martial Realm’s upper level suddenly erupted.

Accompanied by this formidable spiritual power, Niyi stomped on the ground, creating a large crater. Under the terrifying propulsive force, the black-haired man transformed into a cyan light, rushing toward the cafeteria’s second floor with murderous intent.

“BOOM!!” With a thunderous sound, Niyi’s fist directly punched a large hole in the wall. After entering the kitchen, Niyi immediately saw a slender figure in the smoke and dust—the only person in the kitchen.

“Intruder!! Take this!” With a roar, mechanical wristguards silently unfolded, directly covering Niyi’s fists.

Then, the iron fist empowered by formidable spiritual energy howled as it smashed toward the graceful figure.

Faced with this imposing attack, the graceful figure remained standing firmly in place. She didn’t dodge, nor did she release spiritual power. Instead, she nonchalantly picked up a fork from the stove…

In the next moment, something sharply stabbed Niyi’s right arm.

“Huh? My hand!”

With the man’s exclamation, an intense numbness spread from his arm, causing his concentrated spiritual power to dissipate. Moreover, his attack direction was altered by this stab, missing the intruder and crashing into a nearby recipe storage warehouse.

“BOOM!” Of course, as the Lingyuan family’s security chief, Niyi wouldn’t be defeated so easily. With a flash of cyan light, he rushed out of the warehouse.

However, after emerging, Niyi didn’t launch another attack against the graceful figure. Because after their brief exchange, he had clearly seen the other person’s appearance.

“My Lady!!!” After a moment of shock, Niyi immediately backed away repeatedly, dispersed the spiritual power around his body, disarmed himself, knelt on the ground, and lowered his head with an apologetic expression.

“I deeply apologize, my Lady!! I, I, I didn’t realize it was you!”

As Niyi’s apology spread, Naro, the Lingyuan family’s butler, accompanied by several other guards, pushed open the kitchen door and entered this smoke-filled, chaotic area.

“My Lady, why… are you here!?” Upon seeing the familiar blue silhouette, Naro also revealed a shocked expression.

Indeed, this blue-haired young woman appearing in the kitchen, the culprit who had thrown the Lingyuan household into chaos early this morning, was none other than our Terran Malevolence lady.

“Um…” Faced with everyone’s astonished gazes, Bai Lianyue awkwardly twirled her hair with her slender fingers.

As for why Bai Lianyue suddenly came to the kitchen? The reason was quite simple. Bai Lianyue’s old habit had resurfaced.

More than half an hour ago, having just devoured Hilgena’s core and all her power, Bai Lianyue’s body had recovered considerably and was no longer as sleepy as before.

This led to the Terran Malevolence lady waking up at dawn—an unprecedented event. She was awake, but not fully awake. Instead, she was in a quantum-entangled state between wakefulness and sleep.

Simply put, she was still in a daze. With her mind not fully clear and somewhat confused, Bai Lianyue instinctively kissed her good daughter’s cheek, confirmed that the little ones were safe, and then left the room. She began foraging for food~

Although not exactly hungry, stuffing something into her stomach was an instinct for the Terran Malevolence lady. Regardless of whether she could eat it or not, Bai Lianyue often stuffed things into her mouth, which had exhausted little Ailiya for a long time.

Thus, the Malevolent goddess lady began wandering through the Lingyuan residence.

Under normal circumstances, the area near where Bai Lianyue and her group were staying had been assigned numerous guards for security.

However, seemingly aware that she was out to steal food, Miss Bai Lianyue naturally wouldn’t let the guards discover her. Although her mind might not be particularly sharp, Bai Lianyue’s athletic ability was absolutely second to none.

So, the Terran Malevolence lady, relying on the agile movements and infiltration techniques ingrained in her body’s instincts, scuttled out of the residence.

After devouring Hilgena’s core and recovering her sense of smell, Miss Bai followed the scent of food, sneaking into the southern cafeteria of the Lingyuan family, and tiptoed in.

And then, Miss Bai Lianyue encountered an awkward problem. She couldn’t operate any of the various equipment in the kitchen. Although Miss Bai had made many delicious foods in the Veiled Domain over the past few years, considering that Bai Lianyue had only just learned how to operate various kitchen utensils, Ailiya and Serveiling had unanimously decided not to replace the kitchen equipment in the short term.

Therefore, Bai Lianyue was completely clueless about this series of latest electrical appliances in the Lingyuan family kitchen.

So, after some pointless fiddling…

“BOOM~” After a loud noise, the kitchen exploded.

As for how it exploded? The ‘innocent’ Miss Bai didn’t know herself~

Now, looking at the devastated kitchen still ablaze with fierce flames, and then at the extraordinarily beautiful blue-haired young woman, Naro blinked in confusion.

As a butler who had served the Lingyuan family for over fifty years, Naro had naturally had plenty of interaction with Lianna eight years ago. He knew very well that the Divine Maiden never entered the kitchen.

Therefore, seeing Lianna appear here undoubtedly made him feel surprised. Of course, what was most surprising was… How did this happen? How could the kitchen possibly explode like this?!

Puzzled, Naro asked: “My Lady, why are you here? What… what were you doing?”

Faced with this question, Miss Bai Lianyue was at a loss for words. Although the explosion earlier and Niyi’s powerful strike had jolted the Terran Malevolence lady out of her dazed state, making her considerably more alert, the alert Bai… wasn’t necessarily any quicker in thinking.

The reason Bai Lianyue came to the Lingyuan family under Yelena’s arrangement was to implement a plan formulated years ago—infiltrating the human world under Lianna’s identity.

But who was Lianna? The foremost Divine-Graced Maiden; The controller of the Sacred Stone; A hero revered by countless people; The most beautiful and elegant woman in the entire human world…

Would such a Lianna sneak into the kitchen early in the morning to steal food? And cause a massive explosion? That wouldn’t match her character profile at all, would it? If she told the truth, wouldn’t her identity be questioned?

This much, Bai Lianyue’s little brain could understand. But being stared at by so many people made her a bit nervous, and she didn’t know how to explain for a moment.

“Umm, this… this…” The young woman stuttered quietly.

However, just as Bai Lianyue was feeling perplexed, the words Yelena had instructed her before departure echoed in her mind.

—”Big sis, although you’ve finally become somewhat clear-headed, there’s still a lot you don’t understand about the outside world. If someone asks you some rather complex questions, never try to explain. You just need to display that expression you’ve practiced for years. Basically, all problems will be solved~”—

Thinking of this, a flash of brilliance appeared in Bai Lianyue’s emerald eyes. The young woman was still somewhat doubtful, but regardless, she decided to try Yelena’s tactic.

Then, taking a deep breath, the Terran Malevolence lady’s cherry lips gently curved up, and a soul-captivating smile appeared on that exquisite face. The smile was like a spring breeze brushing across a lake’s surface, gentle and moving.

However, mixed within that beautiful curve was a trace of faint bitterness, as if it were helplessness and sorrow precipitated by the years. The young woman’s eyes slightly curved, her pupils flickering with points of light, yet also revealing an indescribable sorrow.

At this moment, the surrounding air seemed to freeze. The instant they saw the young woman’s smile, everyone present couldn’t help but hold their breath. Even the worldly-wise Naro was the same—ripples spread through the old butler’s heart.

“My Lady…” This smile was so complex and profound. It was warm, yet it made one’s heart ache; it was beautiful, yet one couldn’t bear to look directly at it.

In an instant, an indescribable bitter emotion spread through Naro’s heart.

Then, before Bai Lianyue could explain anything, the old butler proactively exhaled a deep breath.

“Ah, this old servant understands… My Lady wanted to wake up early to prepare food for the young misses? …Sigh, My Lady doesn’t need to work so hard in the future. This isn’t the Veiled Domain; you don’t need to get up early to search for food. I, Naro, promise you that we will have everything prepared. You can rest easy in the future, My Lady.”

Without further questions, Naro respectfully bowed his head to Bai Lia
