Volume 2, Chapter 87 – Little Girls Who Love Cake

Just as Xi Xuan fell into a daze after the curse was lifted, tens of thousands of miles away, in a vast expanse of ocean, in a deep-sea forbidden zone never reached by humans, eternal darkness was so thick it seemed to crush any trace of light.

In the midst of this deathly silent, endless abyss, suddenly, a strange power erupted, instantly causing the surrounding waters to surge with violent waves.

Emotions of shock and anger seemed to be contained within these fluctuating energies.

At the bottom of the Sea of Grieving Death, an immense black crystal pillar stood tall. The pillar’s base was deeply embedded in the seafloor rift valley, while its top disappeared into the boundless inky darkness above. Spiral patterns etched on its surface were clearly visible.

However, upon closer inspection, one would discover that these so-called “patterns” were actually indentations left by some colossal creature’s coils—each spiral arc precisely matching the trajectory of scales rubbing against the surface.

Of course, these were no ordinary scales, but scales nearly the size of tank vehicles.

On the crystal pillar, a massive shadowy figure continuously writhed. Although the figure’s true appearance was obscured by the oppressive purple-black mist surrounding it, its sheer size was enough to inspire awe.

Even the Covenant’s previously largest flagship, the “Hallowed Sigil Vessel,” would appear no different from a toy before this enormous presence.

Pathetically small.

At this moment, sensing the emotional fluctuations emanating from the giant shadow, a half-human half-fish being about ten meters long who guarded this area immediately swam toward the shadow, propelled by curse energy.

“Abyss Lord, you summoned me?”

This muscular vassal-tier creature asked nervously. Clearly, he did not want to approach this shadow but could not disobey its command.

A strong sense of foreboding continuously spread through his heart.

And in the next moment, this ominous premonition unfortunately became reality.

?!!

Seeing the purple-black mist rapidly closing in on him, this vassal let out a terrified cry.

“Abyss Lord!! Wait! I’m still useful… No, no!”

Unfortunately, before he could finish speaking, a bottomless mouth like an endless abyss directly swallowed this half-human half-fish vassal.

“Crunch crunch crunch…”

Accompanied by chilling chewing sounds, the life force and curse energy belonging to this vassal-tier corrupted beast completely dissipated within these waters.

Other corrupted beasts and vassal-tier beings hiding in these waters silently witnessed this scene, seemingly long accustomed to it.

All they could do was hide their auras as best they could and pray their master would calm down.

Fortunately, as the unfortunate vassal’s aura completely dissipated, the violent fluctuations emanating from the massive shadow gradually calmed.

——”Pathetic…”——

A rough, gloomy, and oppressive voice drifted out from the shadow. Evidently, after devouring a vassal to vent, this enormous shadow’s anger had been somewhat soothed.

Even so, beneath the mist, the six eyeballs emitting purple deathlight still contained considerable “displeasure.”

——”That old hag… actually dared to interfere with my hunt.

Old hag,

and that little bitch,

I’ll tear you both to shreds sooner or later!”

The six pupils suddenly contracted, and horrifying purple light and violent killing intent erupted from them. However, while emanating murderous intent, a trace of confusion also spilled from the pupils.

Although it had long known that old hag couldn’t possibly be dead, it hadn’t expected her to use this opportunity to infiltrate the human world.

But why would she go save Xi Xuan?

Has her mind deteriorated to the point of saving enemies?

Hmph,

how boring.

But,

at least now I know,

that old hag is hiding in the Westivian Covenant. Perhaps, after more than three hundred years, it’s time to pay you another visit…

——”My dear sister…”——

Meanwhile, at the Lingyuan family estate, after receiving the distress signal, large numbers of troops stationed around Wishaven began entering the estate one after another.

After receiving simple treatment and regaining his strength, Naro immediately threw himself into work, methodically organizing troops to accommodate the wounded, rebuild the main residence, and repair the defense systems.

Not far from the main residence, in a relatively well-preserved pavilion, the three sisters Ailiya sat silently.

Sisters Miya and Weiya held hands, sitting side by side on the railing, occasionally looking around trying to find that familiar and reassuring blue figure.

After waiting for a long time without seeing that certain someone, Miya squeezed Weiya’s little hand more tightly.

“What’s wrong, sister?”

As the twin sister, Weiya immediately sensed her sister’s emotional fluctuation.

“Why hasn’t mother returned yet? Nothing bad happened, right?”

“What nonsense are you thinking?”

Weiya said helplessly, and patted her sister’s head:

“Didn’t Sister Ailiya say? Mother went out foraging, she’s very safe and will be back soon.”

“Wuwu, but it’s been so long. Mother never took this much time when foraging before.”

“Wuh, that seems true.”

After being reminded by her sister, Weiya also felt a wave of uneasiness. The twins looked at each other, ripples of worry simultaneously appearing in their eyes.

“Wuwuwu, where did mother go QwQ” ×2

Fortunately, just as the twins were about to become teary-eyed with worry, a familiar, gentle, and sweet voice suddenly reached the little lolis’ ears.

——”What are you two worrying about? Your mother is perfectly fine~”——

“Hmm?” ×2

Turning their heads toward the voice behind them, seeing the beautiful face of the blue-haired young woman, the twins’ uneasiness and anxiety immediately vanished, replaced by intense joy.

“Mother!” ×2

“Yes, mother has returned~”

With a slight smile, Bai Lianyue bent down to rub the twins’ little heads and affectionately kissed their cheeks.

Feeling their mother’s caresses, the twins revealed expressions full of happiness.

After briefly enjoying the moment, Weiya looked at her mother curiously.

“Where did mother go? You were gone for so long?”

“Your mother,” Bai Lianyue smiled slightly, then pointed to a small food cart not far away,

“Went to make fruit cakes for Miya and Weiya to eat, look~”

“Hmm? Wow!”

Upon seeing those exquisite little cakes, excited expressions appeared on the two little lolis’ adorable faces. Obviously, the little ones were very fond of the desserts their mother made.

“Fruit cakes!”

“Yes, and those fruits were grown in mother’s own body~”

“Grown in mother’s body?!”

Miya blinked her eyes in delight. After all, fruits grown in Bai Lianyue’s body were more tender, juicy, and delicious than ordinary fruits.

They were among the twins’ favorite foods.

“Yes, want to eat some~”

Bai Lianyue raised her corners of her mouth smugly.

“If you want to eat, go ahead. I’ve also prepared milk tea to cleanse your palate.”

“Milk tea!”

Miya’s smile grew even brighter.

Compared to Miya, after looking at the cakes in the distance, Weiya frowned in puzzlement, seeming to notice something amiss.

“But making fruit cakes shouldn’t take that long? And with all the commotion earlier, mother was still making cakes?”

To this, Bai Lianyue didn’t immediately respond, but smiled slightly and spoke in a meaningful tone:

“By the way, Weiya, did you finish your homework from yesterday?”

?!!

At these words,

Weiya’s whole body trembled, her little mouth pouted, and a trace of panic flashed through her orange-red eyes.

“I’m going to eat cake with my sister first! Otherwise the milk tea will get cold and affect the taste, hehe~”

As she spoke, Weiya wasted no time pulling Miya along, taking small steps as they bounced toward the food cart.

After temporarily settling the twins, Bai Lianyue quietly sat down on a nearby swing, next to a silver-haired young woman.

However, before Bai Lian could speak, Ailiya said with a gloomy face and considerable displeasure:

“Let me state this upfront, don’t expect to appease me with just one cake.”

“Then how many do you need?”

“Five! No, no, at least ten!”

Extending all ten fingers, Ailiya said with a serious face.

At this, the Malevolence lady smiled gently and stroked Ailiya’s little head with considerable indulgence.

“Alright, as many as you want. As long as you want to eat them, mother will make them for you anytime~”
