Volume 2, Chapter 80 – It’s Time to Settle Accounts, My Good Brother

“But honestly…”

Looking at where the fairy girl had disappeared, little Weiya spoke somewhat puzzledly:

“That person just now did feel very familiar…”

As she muttered, Weiya turned an inquiring gaze toward her sister.

“Sister Ailiya, do you know her?”

Hearing this, Ailiya, who could be considered the calmest person present, showed a conflicted expression. After a moment of silence, Ailiya somewhat guiltily shook her head,

“I don’t know her.”

“Oh, alright.”

Weiya lowered her head in disappointment.

Sorry, Miya, Weiya…

I feel it’s better not to tell you for now.

Silently watching the twins, Ailiya whispered helplessly in her heart. At this moment, Ailiya, who was extremely sensitive to gazes, suddenly frowned, then turned to look at a bush not far away.

“Hmm…”

The next moment, while Naro and the others were mobilizing spiritual energy for self-healing and temporarily not paying attention to her, Ailiya stepped forward quickly, directly reaching into the bush.

A pink octopus munching on an apple was pulled out by Ailiya and held in her hand.

Bringing the octopus girl to eye level, Ailiya’s expression visibly darkened,

“Oh ho? Octopus girl, so you were here?”

“Eep!!” (Don’t call me that…)

At first, the octopus girl wanted to protest the nickname, but after meeting Ailiya’s ice-cold gaze, the protest she was about to utter was forcibly swallowed back.

“Um… yes, I am.”

“So you were just watching the show?”

A trace of anger appeared in Ailiya’s cherry-colored eyes.

Although Ailiya knew the octopus girl couldn’t intervene freely, lest she risk exposure, thinking about the dangerous situation her sisters had just been in, Ailiya couldn’t help but question her.

“Even if you couldn’t directly deal with that man just now, couldn’t you have teleported Miya and Weiya to a safe place?”

In response, a visible innocence appeared in Lingxi’s crimson eyeball,

“I, I wanted to help…”

The octopus girl said honestly.

Indeed, over the years, the octopus girl had been tormented by the twins numerous times and had accumulated considerable displeasure toward them. But after all, they had lived and played together for eight years… the octopus girl undoubtedly had some affection for them.

Besides, getting revenge on the twins was something only she could do!

She didn’t want anyone else interfering!

“This, this was Yelena’s idea… she wouldn’t let me intervene.”

“Sister Yelena?” Ailiya frowned involuntarily.

“Yes, Yelena said, this way you would rush forward to fight that man… and only if you fought him desperately would you force him to summon his real body. Oh, right, Yelena also said this was a good chance for you to get some real combat training…”

As she spoke, the octopus girl anxiously lowered her head, deeply afraid that Ailiya would continue to scold her in anger.

“Sister Yelena’s idea, huh.”

Ailiya muttered thoughtfully,

“From what you’re saying, it seems Sister Yelena was using us as bait? Just to lure out that man?”

“Yes.”

“Who is that man?”

“……”

“Moande?”

Silently repeating this name, the silver-haired girl’s brows furrowed. Honestly, over the past eight years, she had heard this name several times from Lianyue or Cat-sister, but whenever she curiously inquired about this person’s identity, they always avoided the topic…

No, strictly speaking, they were unwilling to tell her anything about Lianyue’s past.

So, taking this opportunity, Ailiya tentatively asked,

“Who exactly is this Moande? Lian seems… to hate him quite a bit?”

Perhaps because she already felt guilty, or because she was caught in Ailiya’s hand with no chance to escape.

The octopus girl muttered softly,

“Because that guy is the murderer who killed the boss’s daughter…”

“Lianyue’s… daughter?”

Hearing this, a flash of astonishment appeared in Ailiya’s eyes.

“Malevolences can have children too?”

“Not like that.”

The octopus girl shook her head:

“It was the boss’s daughter from her human period.”

“Human?? Human period?”

Meanwhile, accompanied by a dark pink spatial fluctuation, Moande was dragged into an endless energy abyss. In response, this First Celestial Augur Knight certainly wouldn’t sit idly by.

Gritting his teeth, pale white spiritual flames suddenly erupted, coiling around his long spear. Swinging the spear, surrounded by violent spiritual energy, Moande stabbed into the void.

The next moment, the energy abyss was directly torn apart by Moande’s powerful strike, and he burst out from it, arriving in an open area.

Just as he arrived, Moande’s expression changed dramatically. He hurriedly raised his hand to cover his nostrils and mobilized spiritual energy to protect his body, resisting the corrosion of the surrounding aura.

And that aura trying to corrode Moande’s body was precisely what countless humans feared… the power source of Corrupted Beasts… Corruption.

“This, this is?”

Moande muttered with a grave expression.

—”Look carefully, don’t you know?”—

As this melodious voice reached his ears, Moande’s body instantly trembled.

He turned his gaze behind him, toward the beautiful fairy girl with a smile on her face.

Seeing that she had her hands behind her back, seemingly with no intention of attacking immediately, the anxious Moande finally glanced around with his peripheral vision. Then, a trace of astonishment involuntarily flashed in this First Celestial Augur Knight’s eyes.

This, this is?

The southern part of Robusta Wildwood…

“That cliff!”

Moande muttered uneasily. Although it had been a thousand years, and he hadn’t returned to this place for a full millennium, the scenes from back then were still fresh in his memory.

This was where he had killed Xing Wu and thrown Bai Lianyue off the cliff years ago.

It was also now an area covered by the Veiled Domain.

In other words, he had been brought to the Veiled Domain?

Realizing this, Moande felt as if he had been dragged into an endless abyss, unprecedented negative emotions gradually enveloping his heart.

“As expected of a top student, your memory is indeed good.”

On the other side, after hearing Moande’s response, the fairy girl nodded with satisfaction.

As the fairy girl’s words reached his ears, Moande tremblingly turned around, looking at the beautiful fairy girl who seemed like a divine creation.

Although her appearance was quite unfamiliar, Moande had already guessed her identity.

“You… weren’t you already eliminated?”

“Oh?”

Hearing this, the fairy girl playfully raised an eyebrow,

“I won’t die so easily before killing traitors like you.”

“You were faking your death earlier?”

“Yes.”

To this, the fairy girl, or rather our Miss Bai Lianyue, laughed lightly and admitted.

“If I didn’t fake my death, how would a coward like you, who always meets people using synthetic bodies, come out?”

Hearing these words, Moande angrily clenched his fist, his nails even deeply embedded in his flesh.

“……”

“I learned it from you~”

“Then what’s with this appearance now? Have you grown so fond of pretending to be a woman, Brother Yue?”

Staring at Bai Lianyue’s face, Moande said coldly.

“Ah, this~”

Looking down at her own beautiful and voluptuous body, Bai Lianyue honestly shook her head,

“The consequence of eating recklessly, I suppose.”

“Eating recklessly?”

“Yes… ate too many strange things, and eventually they all merged together. So when my power is released to a certain extent, I naturally become like this.”

Staring at her small hands, Bai Lianyue’s tone also revealed a hint of confusion.

But the ever-carefree Malevolence lady naturally wouldn’t mind such things.

“After all, it’s a Malevolence’s body, there are still many incomprehensible aspects… anyway, these aren’t important.”

As these words left her mouth, Bai Lianyue shed the casualness on her face, and an ice-cold aura silently emanated from her body, engulfing Moande like a tidal wave.

That gaze filled with killing intent fell upon Moande.

“What’s important is… since you, red-haired kid, have graciously brought your real body to the Veiled Domain. I should fulfill my duty as host and entertain you properly.”

As the words were spoken, under Moande’s terrified gaze, countless horrifying Corrupted Beasts continuously emerged from the forest behind; densely falling from the sky,

directly surrounding Moande.

—”This time, we can finally, properly settle accounts, my good brother.”—
