Volume 2, Chapter 48 – The Malevolent Goddess Lady Wants to Cook for Her Children~

According to Miss Ailiya’s explanation:

After the great battle between Ulutiel and Gaia Lobir eight years ago, the Terran Malevolence fell into slumber, and other vassals were also forced into hibernation due to severe injuries. Lady Lianna seized this opportunity to escape from the Terran Malevolence’s clutches with her daughters, hiding in the Forsaken Metropolis.

During these eight years, life was extremely difficult for the mother and daughters. Especially during the last year or more of severe resource scarcity, in order to ensure the children had food to eat, Lady Lianna would always rise early and retire late to search for food.

She must have formed a habit. Therefore, even after returning to the safety of the Lingyuan family, Lady Lianna still habitually woke up to find food for the children. Yesterday when she returned, she was in an exhausted, unconscious state… Yet early this morning…

Ah, it hasn’t been easy, Lady Lianna.

All at once, a deep sense of sorrow welled up in Naro’s heart.

Of course, along with the sorrow, the heavy weight that had hung in Naro’s heart for so long finally lifted. Previously, Naro had been somewhat concerned about Lady Lianna’s attitude toward the young misses.

After all, eight years ago, during Lady Lianna’s final days at the Lingyuan house, she hadn’t been very kind to Miss Ailiya and the others… Now it seemed he had been worrying unnecessarily.

Indeed, Lady Lianna had protected and cared for the young misses for a full eight years. How could she possibly harm them now? Moreover, the reactions of the three young misses yesterday when Lady Lianna returned were proof enough of everything.

Taking a deep breath, Naro waved to the Lingyuan family guards nearby. “You may withdraw.” “Yes, sir.”

After respectfully nodding, the Lingyuan family guards, including Niyi, quickly vacated the kitchen, leaving only Naro and a few maids responsible for cleaning up.

“My Lady, let me first send someone to escort you back to rest. This is the Lingyuan family home; you need not concern yourself with food matters. After we prepare breakfast for you and the young misses, we will send it to you immediately.”

As he spoke, Naro signaled with his eyes to two maids who had just arrived.

However, just as the two maids attempted to approach and support Bai Lianyue away, the Terran Malevolence lady shook her head: “F…” “Hmm? My Lady, what is it…?” “I want to cook for those three children myself.”

Hearing this, Naro was taken aback, then immediately shook his head: “My Lady, there’s really no need. We can handle these matters; the most important thing for you now is to rest well. Besides, if word got out that the family mistress was cooking in the kitchen, others would laugh at our Lingyuan family.”

Naro said sincerely.

However, faced with Naro’s persuasion, Bai Lianyue did not cooperate by returning to rest but continued standing in place.

Under the puzzled gazes of Naro and the maids, the Terran Malevolence lady didn’t explain, but instead displayed a smile identical to the one before. Beautiful, yet containing bitterness.

After seeing this smile, Naro was momentarily stunned, then a look of “sudden realization” flashed in his eyes. “I see… I was being inconsiderate.”

??

At these words, the young maid standing beside Naro blinked in confusion: “Lord Naro, what are you saying?”

“I didn’t think it through. Misses Miya and Weiya have just returned to the Lingyuan family and feel strange and insecure about everything around them. They indeed wouldn’t eat the food we prepare, just like last night, right? In the end, it was Lady Ailiya who prepared food for them. Food containing Lady Lianna’s essence—the two young misses wouldn’t be so resistant to that.”

Naro explained.

Having figured this out, Naro nodded solemnly to Bai Lianyue: “I understand, my Lady. The task of preparing breakfast is entrusted to you. However, please allow the head chef and maids to assist you.”

“Mm.” Regarding this request, Bai Lianyue didn’t object but nodded quite compliantly.

At the same time, a sense of smugness secretly welled up in the Terran Malevolence lady’s heart.

Hehe? Just smiling like that actually worked? What’s the principle behind this?

Bai Lianyue’s heart also bubbled with a trace of confusion. However, Bai Lianyue had some self-awareness. Considering that she probably wouldn’t figure it out, Bai Lianyue soon abandoned her contemplation and followed Naro and the others to the main residence’s private kitchen.

Of course, Miss Bai Lianyue was serious about preparing food for the three children.

After all, in the eyes of the Terran Malevolence lady, although Naro and the others seemed kind and friendly, were they truly trustworthy? The Malevolent goddess wasn’t certain.

For the safety and health of the children, Bai Lianyue decided to handle it personally.

Additionally~ If she prepared the ingredients herself~, she could also take the opportunity to add some special things~ Hehe~

Several dozen minutes later, in the main residence’s kitchen, Caterin, the head maid of the Lingyuan family, stood frozen in place. Not just her—all the chefs and maids arranged by Naro to assist Bai Lianyue in preparing breakfast also showed surprised expressions.

They had thought that when the lady spoke of preparing meals, she meant simple operations like making a couple of sandwiches with bread and meat. They would then be responsible for refining the dishes, making them more exquisite, healthier, and tastier.

But when they saw the blue-haired young woman’s actions in the kitchen, everyone fell silent.

At this moment, our Miss Bai Lianyue was standing in the center of the kitchen, her movements flowing like water, the knife flashing in her hand, reflecting a cold gleam.

With swift knife work, she precisely cut vegetables, potatoes, and meat chunks into uniform thin slices at a speed that left even the skilled chefs unable to keep up. Meanwhile, Bai Lianyue’s other hand nimbly grabbed seasoning containers, sprinkling them perfectly into the pot. Flames roared under the stove, making a pleasant “sizzle” sound, and the aroma instantly permeated the entire kitchen.

The maids and chefs, led by Caterin, watched this scene with wide eyes, completely unable to believe that the Divine Maiden who never entered the kitchen in the past possessed such astonishing culinary skills.

Was it trained in the Veiled Domain? Could such a harsh survival environment really lead to such rapid improvement in cooking skills?

Or perhaps the lady was always skilled in cooking, and we just didn’t know?

Yes, it must be that. After all, the lady… has so many secrets we don’t understand.

After taking a deep breath, Caterin, the head maid, suppressed her doubts and respectfully approached Bai Lianyue’s side.

“My Lady, besides preparing ingredients, is there anything else we can help with?”

“Hmm……” Hearing this, Bai Lianyue, who was earnestly preparing a thick soup for the children, raised her hand to pinch her chin, briefly pondering.

“Help me bake some bread please; the children quite enjoy thick soup with bread.”

“Of course, my Lady. How about preparing some fruit juice as well? I noticed Miss Miya quite enjoyed it yesterday.”

“Fruit juice? Sure~” Bai Lianyue nodded without hesitation.

After observing the blue-haired young woman’s change of expression, Caterin’s heart overflowed with deep satisfaction. The lady genuinely cares for the young misses… Not like the nearly insane lady from eight years ago, but like before that… the gentle and loving lady.

It really is wonderful.

As the head maid who had served the Lingyuan family for over twenty years, Caterin’s heart was comforted in this moment. The always stern-faced, serious head maid finally showed a genuine smile.

As head maid, Caterin actually disliked the atmosphere of the Lingyuan family on ordinary days. Master Lou Fei was too cold, and for these eight years, she was barely at the manor, making the vast Lingyuan estate perpetually desolate.

But now? Everything had finally changed… The gentle lady had returned, the three young misses had returned… this cold and empty house could finally feel like a home.

—”Like a normal family at last…”— Caterin murmured emotionally in her heart.

However, just as Caterin was making this judgment, as she was about to bring water to Bai Lianyue, she suddenly froze in place.

???? “Huh?”

At this moment, her lady had somehow pulled down her chest clothing, pointing a dagger—retrieved from who knows where—at her own chest, and was muttering some spine-chilling words to herself.

—”How much would be appropriate? Hmm, let me dig it out and weigh it first~”—

After a brief moment of shock, seeing Bai Lianyue’s dagger pressing closer to her chest… Caterin, who had been feeling so emotional just a moment ago, could no longer contain herself. With a drastically changed expression, she suddenly released all her spiritual power,

And lunged toward Bai Lianyue: “My Lady!!! Don’t think such dark thoughts!! Calm down!! Someone help!!! The lady is having suicidal thoughts!!!”

“Umm?”

Meanwhile, looking at the extremely anxious head maid lunging toward her, Miss Bai Lianyue blinked in confusion.

Is it really that serious? I’m just digging out a heart to co

ok with. Humans these days really make a fuss over nothing…
