Volume 2, Chapter 65 – Gathering Malice, Quite a Lot

“Lianna? She’s back? Wasn’t she in Wishaven just yesterday?”

“What’s strange about that… Our Anloxi family’s power is vast, we definitely secretly built spatial tunnels to Wishaven long ago. Lianna is the family head’s daughter after all, it’s normal that she knows how to use the tunnels to return.”

“But why has she returned now? To beg for mercy?”

“Hehe, certainly. Without the family head’s medicine, it’s a miracle she’s survived until now. If she wants to live longer, she’ll definitely have to compromise.”

“Heh, before she always acted so high and mighty, looking down on us. Who would have thought she fears death too~”

“That’s hilarious.”

“Well, it’s better that she surrenders early, saves us the trouble.”

“Haha, indeed.”

As news of Lianna’s arrival at the Anloxi family territory spread, those family members who knew the inside story couldn’t help but mock and ridicule her. Even Brak, the emissary from Paradise Manor, revealed a contemptuous smile.

Hmph, She actually came here by herself. As expected of a mongrel with mixed blood, in the end she still fears death… What a waste of my time.

Brak’s judgment was the same as that of the Anloxi family members.

Now that Lianna, whose power hadn’t even reached third tier, had come alone, she had no choice but to surrender.

And so, Under the watchful gaze of countless amused eyes, the courtyard gates silently opened…

Escorted by two armed attendants, the familiar blue silhouette from everyone’s memories stepped into the reception venue.

With the arrival of that blue figure, the previously somewhat noisy courtyard instantly became completely silent, so quiet that one could hear a pin drop.

Everyone’s gaze was inevitably drawn to that exquisitely beautiful silhouette.

The young woman’s face was as beautiful as if sculpted, her features so delicate they seemed divinely crafted, exuding an otherworldly elegance.

Her azure hair glistened in the sunlight like rolling waves of the ocean, softly cascading over her shoulders, swaying gently with her movements, appearing particularly graceful and captivating.

Her perfect face, combined with her alluring figure and elegant formal dress, formed a perfect picture.

Although the Anloxi family members had seen Lianna’s beautiful appearance many times before, seeing her again after eight years still shocked them deeply.

In the past, because Lianna possessed formidable power, almost no one dared to harbor improper thoughts about her.

But now? She was just a weak girl who hadn’t even reached the third tier. Anyone had the power to do something to her.

A being with extraordinary longevity, incredibly beautiful…

Hehe, All at once, various gazes filled with desire and evil thoughts were directed at the blue-haired young woman.

In response, the blue-haired girl gripped the hem of her dress, seeming somewhat nervous. At this moment, Taival opened his arms, making a welcoming gesture toward Lianna.

“Hahaha, my dear sister, it’s been a long time. Seeing you return makes your brother very happy indeed, hehe.”

Taival said with a grinning face, his smile sunny and bright, as if truly welcoming the young woman home.

However, Just as he stepped forward, Taival’s brows furrowed. Since his attention had been focused on Lianna earlier, he hadn’t noticed the two small creatures by her feet.

A black cat with golden markings, and a snow-white short-legged dog resembling a corgi.

“What are these?”

“They seem to be Lady Lianna’s pets.”

A guard standing behind Lianna explained.

“Oh, pets.”

To this, Taival only responded indifferently. Without any spiritual energy fluctuations, such weak cute creatures weren’t worth his attention. Ignoring the pets, he refocused on his ‘sister’ and smiled, asking:

“Why have you suddenly returned, Lianna? Weren’t you living quite happily at the Lingyuan family?”

The sarcasm in his tone was unmistakable.

However, the blue-haired girl seemed unconcerned about this.

Of course, it’s also possible she simply didn’t pick up on it…

“I had no choice, I tend to keep my promises.”

The young woman answered with a smile.

“Promise?”

“Yes.”

The blue-haired girl nodded, then turned her gaze toward the white-haired elder sitting at the seat not far away.

“Earlier in Wishaven, didn’t I promise Father… that I would come back? So now, I’ve returned.”

“But why have you suddenly returned? For the life-saving medicine?”

Coburn said disdainfully.

His voice still contained deep anger.

Clearly, The incident in Wishaven where Lianna had severely injured his nose still rankled him.

“Lianna, let me tell you. If you want the medicine to extend your life! Then bring those daughters of yours out from the Lingyuan family too! If you call Ailiya and the others out, I might consider giving you the life-extending medicine, in memory of our twenty-plus years of relationship.”

“Ah? The medicine, no thanks. I don’t like bitter things.”

Upon hearing the word ‘medicine’, the blue-haired girl shook her head without hesitation, her beautiful face full of disdain.

However, This response left Coburn, Taival, and the other Anloxi family members completely bewildered.

“Not here for the medicine? Then what are you here for?”

“I came to eat… oh wait…”

Halfway through speaking, after looking at the gradually brightening sky around them, the blue-haired girl quickly said:

“I should say, I came for breakfast.”

“What?? Breakfast??”

Hearing this, Coburn’s eyebrows twitched a few times. Meanwhile, confusion began to spread wildly in their minds.

Reαԁ οո ΚatRеαⅾіոgCаfе

Obviously, Lianna’s inexplicable words left them somewhat baffled.

Many Anloxi family members even covered their mouths to stifle their laughter.

In their view, Lianna… perhaps after eight years of harsh living in the Veiled Domain, her mind had broken.

“Yes, breakfast. But before that, I want to ask you one last question, Father.”

Suppressing the cute naivety in her expression, the blue-haired girl’s gaze became extremely sharp at this moment, even somewhat chilling, making Coburn instinctively shudder.

“Father, did you ever consider Ailiya and the other three as your granddaughters?”

??

Faced with this question, Coburn was stunned.

At this point, with everything out in the open, He didn’t understand why Lianna would still ask this question.

So, this head of the Anloxi family contemptuously rolled his eyes.

“What a pointless question. You yourself are nothing but a lowly test subject, and your children?… They should be grateful they even received the ‘Anloxi’ surname.”

Though he didn’t say it explicitly, Coburn’s meaning was quite clear.

“Alright, I understand.”

The young woman put her hands on her hips, seeming relieved instead.

“Lianna, you, just what are you…”

Seeing Lianna’s demeanor, Coburn’s displeasure continued to rise.

However, Before Coburn could give an order, Brak, sitting beside him, seemed to have lost patience as well.

“Forget about this woman. She clearly stayed in the Veiled Domain too long and her mind is damaged. Why waste so many words on her? Just capture her. Later we can use her to threaten Xi Xuan, or to lure out those children.”

After Brak spoke, the blue-haired girl’s attention shifted to this seductive pink-haired man.

“Hmm… who is this dead tranny?”

I don’t think he was recorded in my notebook?

At these words, whether it was Taival in front of the blue-haired girl, Coburn sitting in the main seat, or the surrounding Anloxi family members, all revealed shocked expressions.

Taival, as the eldest son of the Anloxi family, glared fiercely at the blue-haired girl:

“Lianna!! Show some respect!! Do you know who this person is?”

“Who?”

“This is Brak-Vonima! The esteemed guest from Paradise Manor!! You’re so bold, daring to be disrespectful to a guest from Paradise Manor!”

“You said… Paradise Manor?”

“Yes!! Paradise Manor!”

Taival said angrily.

However, the next moment, the young master’s brows furrowed. He had expected Lianna to be frightened upon hearing the name of Paradise Manor, to tremble and step back repeatedly… but the result?

Not only was this woman not uneasy, but her face even revealed a strange smile at a visibly rapid pace.

“Paradise Manor? Well, that’s really nice~”

The blue-haired girl tilted her head, emerald eyes flashing with meaningful radiance.

Then, Under the confused and angry gaze of everyone, the blue-haired girl laughed lightly and raised her hand, p

ointing directly at Brak’s face:

“It’s decided!! You’ll be my after-meal dessert~”

Brak: ???
