“The Sacred Stone was destroyed?!” As these words reached her ears, Zao Li couldn’t help but exclaim in disbelief. Coburn nearby reacted similarly.

“Yes, it was destroyed.” Bai Lianyue nodded very honestly.

“No, that’s impossible!” Zao Li shook her head frantically. “The Sacred Stone is indestructible, how could it possibly be destroyed…”

Her gaze toward Bai Lianyue now carried a hint of ferocity, and even Zao Li’s body began to emanate waves of Augury Force. Clearly, this new Divine-Graced Maiden was unwilling to believe Bai Lianyue’s words. In her view, the Sacred Stone’s destruction was merely an excuse for Bai Lianyue to keep it.

“Don’t joke…”

However, before Zao Li could finish, Xi Xuan’s words directly interrupted her. “What do you mean impossible!! My daughter says it was destroyed, so it was destroyed! Why would she lie to you!”

“You…”

“What? Got a problem with that?” Xi Xuan said coldly. As his words fell, a terrifying soul pressure was released from Xi Xuan’s body, overwhelming Zao Li and Coburn.

The weaker Coburn was directly pressed to the ground, looking extremely wretched. Zao Li, with Divine Departure Realm strength, wasn’t immobilized, but still struggled to breathe.

Looking at these two detestable beings, Xi Xuan slowly stepped forward, standing protectively in front of Bai Lianyue like a parent shielding their child.

“My daughter has just escaped from the extremely dangerous Veiled Domain. She needs rest and recovery, yet you two… one wants to force my daughter to hand over the Sacred Stone, and the other even tries to lay hands on my daughter? How impressive…”

“Lord Xi Xuan, we just…” Coburn shakily raised his head, seemingly wanting to say something.

“I don’t want to hear your sophistry. This time I’m just giving you a warning. Next time, don’t blame me for being impolite. Now… get the hell out!” Xi Xuan said coldly, with no intention of showing them a good face.

Faced with Xi Xuan’s pressure, although Zao Li and Coburn were dissatisfied, they could only leave unwillingly. After all, they didn’t have the courage to provoke a legendary Divine Departure Realm expert now.

However, just before leaving, Coburn, covering his nose, cast a sidelong glance behind him, looking at the blue-haired young woman.

Unlike others, as Lianna’s father, Coburn had personally seen the Sacred Stone before. It was a completely blood-red gem, like a blood diamond.

Staring at the collar embedded with a red gem on “Lianna’s” neck, Coburn narrowed his eyes thoughtfully.

Meanwhile, in the fitting room of the Lingyuan family, our little Ailiya was wearing only thin pink underwear, standing somewhat shyly in front of the mirror.

Behind her, Caterin, the head maid, nodded with satisfaction. “80… hmm, you’ve developed quite nicely, Miss Ailiya.”

After measuring Ailiya’s bust, Caterin couldn’t help but sigh, “Such a good figure, and perfect skin… worthy of being Lady Lianna’s child. In a few years, you might even surpass the lady. By then, who knows how many young men will be captivated by you.”

“Captivated?” Looking at herself in the mirror, Ailiya raised an eyebrow. As a self-aware child, Ailiya certainly knew she was beautiful and cute~

Unfortunately… what good is being beautiful? What use is captivating a bunch of guys? The most clueless one seems to have no feelings for her? Hmm, headache.

“Sigh, you’ve grown so much. Eight years ago… you were just a little one about a meter tall.” While recording the data, Caterin continued to marvel. However, as she did so, Caterin couldn’t help asking curiously:

“Honestly, Miss Ailiya, surviving in a place like the Veiled Domain, how did you manage to develop so well? You don’t look like you lacked nutrition at all.”

“Well…” With a slight smile, Ailiya said lightly: “Perhaps it’s because the Heavenly Lord blessed us. When we were hiding in the abandoned underground safe house, we found quite a few nutrition supplements. Not only did they help us alleviate food shortages, but they also increased our resistance~ …though it’s surprising those pharmaceuticals could be preserved so long… at first we thought they might have gone bad. After all, Mom said the Covenant’s nutrition supplements last at most a hundred years.”

“Nutrition supplements that can be preserved for a thousand years? It’s not impossible. After all, the place where you lived was the old site of Shenluo.”

“Shenluo?”

“Yes.” Caterin nodded. “A thousand years ago, before the corruption outbreak, before human civilization suffered a massive blow, Shenluo was the most powerful empire on Yao Xing. Their technological level was extremely high. Much higher than today’s Westivian Covenant. In an era without spiritual power assistance, they could win bloody battles against alien races with technology alone. It’s not surprising that they created pharmaceuticals that could be preserved for a thousand years.”

Saying this, Caterin patted Ailiya’s shoulder with satisfaction. “Being able to find nutrition supplements left from a thousand years ago… the young misses are truly blessed by the Heavenly Lord as the new generation of Divine-Graced Maidens.”

“Hehe~” Ailiya giggled and stuck out her tongue.

Obviously, Caterin’s reaction was within the silver-haired girl’s expectations. To ensure they wouldn’t arouse suspicion after returning to the human world, Serveiling had already trained Ailiya and the others to handle various possible questions.

However, among these various questions, nutrition-related issues were clearly not the most important type. There were several key questions that people from the Lingyuan family hadn’t asked her? This made Ailiya feel something was strange… So, taking a deep breath, Ailiya asked in a very playful tone:

“Hey, Aunt Caterin, aren’t you curious about something~” “Hmm? What is it?”

“Well, haven’t you noticed, Mom is still so young and beautiful~ Hehe, don’t you want to know why?” Ailiya giggled as she moved closer to Caterin, like a little child wanting to share a secret.

However, faced with Ailiya’s question, Caterin didn’t show the curiosity Ailiya had expected, but instead smiled calmly. “Isn’t that normal?”

“Huh?” Given this unexpected answer, Ailiya blinked in confusion. The excuse she had been about to give was awkwardly swallowed back.

“N-normal?” Ailiya asked in confusion.

It’s worth noting that after Bai Lianyue consumed her mother’s body, her appearance never changed again. Bai Lianyue’s current appearance is identical to the Divine-Graced Maiden Lianna from eight years ago, with no signs of aging.

In the past, considering the Divine Departure Realm strength of a Divine-Graced Maiden, people might not have questioned this. After all, Divine Departure Realm experts have lifespans far exceeding ordinary people, and slow aging would be expected.

But now? Bai Lianyue’s apparent strength is only at the second tier! “This, isn’t normal, is it?”

“No, of course it’s normal.” Caterin nodded: “Miss, I know what you want to tell us. Either way, I’m one of the Lingyuan family’s senior members, and I know something about the lady’s situation.”

“??”

“The lady’s mother, that is, your grandmother, was not human, but a longevity species among the alien races. Exactly what race, I’m not quite sure. But regardless, because of being a longevity species, even if the lady maintains that youthful appearance for decades to come, it’s considered normal.”

“Alien race? Longevity species?” Hearing these words, Ailiya immediately frowned.

But before Ailiya could inquire further, Caterin walked quite seriously in front of Ailiya and whispered in her ear:

“You are the lady’s children, so naturally she wouldn’t hide these things from you. Miss Ailiya, having lived in the Veiled Domain for so many years, you may not be clear about how people view alien races… but you need to know, many people are very resistant to alien races. The fact that the lady and the young misses have alien bloodlines should absolutely not be casually mentioned to others.”

With her smile gone, Caterin rarely used a warning tone with Ailiya, “Behavior like yours just now, playfully wanting to share this secret with others, absolutely cannot happen again… understand?”

Faced with the maid’s sharp gaze, Ailiya swallowed and nodded tremblingly. “I understand…”

Alien race? She had really learned something significant.

At this moment, an unusual light appeared in Ailiya’s eyes. However, just as the silver-haired girl wanted to inquire further from Caterin, a sudden rumbling sound interrupted Ailiya’s thoughts.

“Boom~!” Hmm? “What happened?”

Following the sound, Ailiya and Caterin both looked toward the nearby changing room, where the twins were. After exchanging glances, they both approached.

“Hey, you two, what mischief are you up to now?” Ailiya pushed the door open forcefully.

As the door opened, the scene inside the changing room was revealed to the two: Exquisitely decorated, soft lighting, white carpet, various artistic sculptures, countless clothes, And something completely out of place with the scene—a fashion designer embedded in the wall.

Ailiya: “What??”

At this moment, the designer who had been chatting happily with Ailiya just half an hour ago was now embedded in the wall, limbs hanging limply, body occasionally twitching, clearly completely unconscious.

Nearby stood two twin girls in thin nightgowns, her own sisters. The two little lolis blinked their beautiful eyes innocently. Their long hair was slightly disheveled, their delicate little faces full of confusion, their soft nightgowns gently rising and falling with their breaths, creating an air of innocence.

However, this seemingly innocent appearance only made Ailiya more headache-inducing when she saw it. Ailiya helplessly held her forehead and sighed deeply.

At this moment, Ailiya couldn’t help feeling deeply apologetic toward the designer. The person had merely come to measure her sisters’ sizes, but ended up being “processed” into a wall mural…

After taking several deep breaths to stabilize her emotions, Ailiya slowly approached and carefully pulled the unconscious fashion designer out of the wall. Then, Ailiya handed her to Caterin.

“Aunt Caterin, please help take this person for treatment. I want to talk with my sisters.”

“Understood, Miss Ailiya.” After respectfully nodding, Caterin carried the designer out of the room.

As the changing room door closed again, only Ailiya and her sisters remained in the room.

Seemingly sensing their sister’s not-so-good mood, the two little ones held hands and lowered their heads anxiously. Strictly speaking, in this family, the only ones the twins feared… were their sister.

But Ailiya didn’t get angry, instead crouching in front of the twins with resignation and patiently saying: “Tell me, what happened?”

“I didn’t want that person to approach Weiya, so I pushed her away,” Miya honestly said.

“Pushed away?”

“Yes, I really just pushed a little, who knew she would fly like that.” Pouting, Miya’s azure eyes flashed with innocence and wronged feelings.

After seeing this expression from her sister, Ailiya couldn’t help but laugh bitterly, then looked solemnly at her two sisters.

“Miya, Weiya. You need to know that your strength is much greater than ordinary children. The people here, unlike Octopus Sis and Cat Sis, aren’t tough-skinned; they’re very fragile. So, you must control your strength, otherwise you’ll hurt them, understand?”

“Fragile?”

“Yes, they’re not like Octopus Sis, they can’t withstand your play.”

“Oh, I understand.” Miya muttered somewhat reluctantly. Next to her, Weiya nodded in agreement.

“So… why didn’t you want them to approach Weiya?”

When asked this by her sister, Miya scratched her face with her small hand and confessed in a small voice, “Because, because she, she made Weiya uncomfortable… I, I just pushed her away… but I didn’t mean to use so much force! I just pushed lightly, I didn’t use much strength!”

Miya hurriedly added.

“Sister knows you didn’t use force, you don’t need to worry about that… but you just said? Weiya was uncomfortable?”

Hearing this, Ailiya turned her gaze to Weiya, “Weiya, where are you uncomfortable?”

“Don’t know.” Weiya shook her head honestly, “Just that person, when she approached me, my body felt uncomfortable, can’t say exactly where… just, just very repulsive…”

“Repulsive…”

Slowly raising her hand to gently stroke Weiya’s little head, Ailiya muttered thoughtfully to herself, while also directing her gaze toward Weiya’s chest.

At this moment, although Ailiya didn’t speak, she roughly guessed the reason. The reason Weiya was repulsed by the designer just now was probably due to the influence of her core.

Weiya’s primordial core was different from others; it was shaped by Bai Lianyue using the Malevolent god’s power. Although it also incorporated half of the Augury Force, its essence was closer to a Malevolent god.

This also led to Weiya not liking other humans except for her and Miya, but being more close to Corrupted Beasts. Although expected, just being approached… makes her so uncomfortable?

Need to report this to Bai Lianyue… Wait, Telling her probably won’t help much; need to find a way to contact Sister Yelena and the others…

Meanwhile, seeing Ailiya suddenly fall silent, the two girls exchanged glances, then simultaneously showed uneasy expressions. Obviously, they thought their sister Ailiya was angry.

So, the anxious girls each held one of Ailiya’s small hands, “Sister, don’t be angry, we really didn’t mean it.” “Sister Ailiya… we were wrong, please don’t be angry?”

As her sisters’ adorable words reached her ears, Ailiya’s consciousness was also pulled back to reality. The next moment, the silver-haired girl quickly shook her head with a smile.

“Don’t worry, sister isn’t angry.” “Really?” “Really, why would sister lie to you?”

Saying this, Ailiya stood up again and picked up the measuring tools the designer had dropped, “Never mind, since Weiya doesn’t like others touching her, then sister will help measure you~ we still need to make new clothes.”

As always, a gentle smile appeared on the young woman’s exquisite face. Seeing this familiar smile, the twins gradually calmed down. After calming down, the twins’ gazes simultaneously converged on Ailiya’s chest.

Since she had just finished measuring her bust and hadn’t put on outer clothes, Ailiya’s chest was only covered by a thin undergarment, with the round little buns in a half-covered state, extremely eye-catching.

Looking at their sister’s chest, the twins’ eyes visibly lit up, seemingly suddenly beginning to think about something.

“Hmm?” Noticing this, Ailiya raised her eyebrows playfully.

As their sister, Ailiya naturally guessed what was in her sisters’ little minds. So, the silver-haired girl smiled, “Don’t worry, Miya, Weiya, you’ll grow up too~”

“We? Will we too?” x2 After exchanging glances, the twins asked in unison.

“Of course~” To this, Ailiya nodded with a smile, and rather proudly thrust out her chest, raising her hand to press against her chest, “You two will eventually have perfect breasts like sister’s~”

However, at these words, the light in the twins’ eyes instantly disappeared, replaced by a trace of disdain…

“Hey, what’s that supposed to mean?”

Faced with this question, Miya raised her hand to touch her own smooth chest, pouting, somewhat unhappily saying: “I want to be like Mom and Sister Serveiling~”

“Weiya too~” “Sister Ailiya’s size is still not enough.” “That’s right~”

Ailiya: ” Hmm, Tsk, These two sisters=-= Suddenly don’t want them anymore, might as well give them away…”
