Volume 2, Chapter 74 – Uninvited Guests in the Mansion

Wishaven, House Lingyuan Estate.

Contrary to Bai Lianyue and Zhouyu’s ‘expectations,’ little Ailiya, who should have been sleeping soundly, had awakened early from her dreams.

As a child who grew up with extreme lack of security, Ailiya couldn’t sleep peacefully without holding onto something.

Usually, Ailiya would either hold the doll Bai Lianyue had prepared for her, or hold onto Bai Lianyue herself.

Last night, having been knocked out by the drunk Miss Bai, Ailiya hadn’t had time to grab her pillow, and with Bai Lianyue not nearby… in the early hours, the sleepy Miss Ailiya had hugged her sisters…

However, as the youngest in the family, Miya and Weiya had a bad habit of instinctively developing violent tendencies when sleeping with anyone other than their mother.

For instance, accidentally punching someone who snuggled against them…

Once, when the octopus girl tried to take revenge while the twins were sleeping, she ended up receiving a mixed punch from them.

This time, even though Ailiya was their sister, she couldn’t escape the fate of receiving a punch from the twins. With one punch, little Ailiya covered her stomach and climbed out of bed quite depressed.

After glaring at her sisters with frustration, Ailiya discovered a serious fact…

Her ‘mother’ was missing again.

In an instant, Ailiya, who had just woken up and was somewhat confused, immediately became alert.

“Lianming? Where did she disappear to again?”

Thus, the anxious Ailiya immediately rushed out of the room and began searching for her mother…

And this search lasted for two hours.

At present, near the pond on the western border of the Lingyuan estate, Ailiya was walking with a worried face.

“Hmm… not here either? Lianyue, where have you wandered off to?”

Ailiya’s tone carried deep anxiety.

Due to her worry, Ailiya’s cherry-colored eyes gradually became moist.

It was well known that her Lian wasn’t very well-behaved after falling asleep; she would sleepwalk, wander around, and eat random things… Back in the Veiled Domain, there was once a time when she sleepwalked to the urban ruins of Visas…

After absentmindedly gnawing off the tail of a bull-shaped Corrupted Beast, she accidentally fell into a ditch and fell asleep, making them worry for several days.

Honestly, such antics might be acceptable in the Veiled Domain. But now they were in the Lingyuan family mansion, and if she acted recklessly and caused some trouble?

For instance, if she casually bit someone?

That would be disastrous!

Moreover, Ailiya wasn’t sure if Lianyue had sobered up. If she was still drunk, she might behave even more unrestrained?

Just thinking about how Lianyue had tormented her and her sisters last night made Ailiya shudder.

At this moment, Ailiya had only one thought: to find her outrageous mother as quickly as possible.

Though anxious, Ailiya didn’t dare ask the Lingyuan family for help.

She feared that the Lingyuan family might see something strange when they found Lianyue.

“If she’s not by the pond, where else could she be?”

Looking at the map of the Lingyuan estate provided by Naro, Ailiya pressed her lips together dejectedly. In the past two hours, Ailiya had searched almost the entire Lingyuan estate.

Warehouses with food, the kitchen, dining hall, spiritual pet house, pond, guard dormitories… or places storing large amounts of energy like the power room, engine room, armory… Ailiya had checked them all,

But she hadn’t found that troublesome blue figure.

At this moment, an uneasy thought quietly surfaced in Ailiya’s mind.

“Lianyue? She wouldn’t have left the estate, would she?”

Ahhh!

Rеαⅾ oո KatRеаⅾinɡСаfе

If she really went out, how would they find her?!

Stupid Lianyue!

How can she be so unreliable!

At this moment, Ailiya finally understood why over the past thousand years, the Terrabond Lineage’s plans had rarely succeeded.

With such an unreliable boss, how many plans could be successfully executed?

Having finally succeeded in faking their deaths, they had arrived in the human world.

If they didn’t exercise restraint and were exposed? Wouldn’t that be a total loss…

Next time Lianyue sleeps, she must find a collar for her! Absolutely cannot let her sleepwalk and run around! Hmm… right, the collar should be bitter gourd flavored…

Lianyue doesn’t like bitter gourd.

Otherwise, if she eats the collar too, wouldn’t that be even more embarrassing.

Also, alcohol! In the future, it must be put away, absolutely can’t let Lianyue touch it!

Ailiya silently made this decision in her heart.

In a sense, since signing the contract with Bai Lianyue eight years ago, the kind-hearted Ailiya had quietly given herself a mission.

That was to keep an eye on the confused Terran Malevolence, prevent her from causing harm to human society, and help her atone for her sins as much as possible.

“Sigh.”

After a sigh, Ailiya slowly drew the short sword at her waist.

“Hmm… maybe I should try this, it might lure Lianyue out?”

Staring at the cold blade, the silver-haired girl whispered.

The only problem was that afterward, Lianyue might be furious… Although Lianyue’s anger wasn’t scary, rather quite cute… but always making Lianyue angry? She would cry…

Ailiya tilted her head, seriously considering.

The girl was torn about whether to proceed with this plan.

At this moment, an unexpected sharp alarm sound suddenly interrupted Ailiya’s dilemma.

—”BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP!”

Without warning, alarms throughout the estate instantly sounded, shrill and piercing; even Ailiya at the estate’s border found the sound uncomfortable to her ears.

Along with the alarm came a powerful energy aura. This spiritual energy impact directly transformed into a storm, suddenly rushing toward Ailiya!

The silver-haired girl involuntarily stepped back, her beautiful face showing intense surprise and unease.

“This spiritual energy aura?”

Ailiya didn’t recognize it, but the intensity of this aura made the girl tremble.

An unfamiliar Divine Departure Realm aura… and? The direction it was coming from was the main residence! An attack at this time? Could it be…

“Miya! Weiya!”

In an instant, Ailiya’s eyes contracted. Without further thought, the silver-haired girl suddenly released all her Augury Force, her entire being transforming into a pink meteor, speeding toward the central area!

With her peak Divine Martial Realm strength, after extreme acceleration, Ailiya quickly arrived at the main residence, withstanding the waves of energy impact.

“What’s happening?”

The scene before her made Ailiya freeze, her pupils suddenly contracting, a surge of intense shock and unease rising in her heart.

At this moment, the once magnificent main residence had become a pile of ruins, half the building blasted to pieces. Broken walls and pillars crackled under the white flames, the air filled with a heavy smell of burning and dust.

The flames devoured everything like demons, painting the surrounding sky a ghastly white.

Most of the Lingyuan family guards lay scattered on the ground, their armor shattered, bodies covered with wounds and blood, some unconscious, others moaning in pain. Blood reddened the ground, forming a stark contrast with the white flames, particularly eye-catching.

Of course, not everyone had lost their ability to act.

As the guard captain, Niyi was currently supporting himself with his sword, barely standing. A few other Lingyuan family warriors were doing the same.

Behind these guards were a pair of terrified silver-haired twins.

They were Ailiya’s sisters, Miya and Weiya.

Standing in front of all the guards, being stared at with hatred and vigilance, was a stranger with red hair.

The man held a long spear, standing proudly.

His figure bathed in white fire, like a death god walking out of hell. The spear tip gleamed coldly, the shaft wrapped in scorching white flames, as if ready to unleash destructive power at any moment.

The man stood there, looking down at Niyi and the others.

After sensing Ailiya’s aura, the red-haired man slowly turned his head, his lips curling into a grim smile.

-“Hehe, now, everyone’s finally here.”-

“Who are you?”

Staring at the red-haired man’s figure, Ailiya asked coldly.

In response, a flash of apology appeared in the man’s eyes, then he spoke playfully in an apologetic tone.

“Sorry, I forgot to introduce myself.”

“My name is Moande, Moande-Samcrozzi. I’m a friend of your grandfather.”
