Volume 2, Chapter 89 – Paradise Manor, Bad Stuff

The silver-haired girl rested her head on Bai Lianyue’s lap, while the Malevolence lady gently stroked Ailiya’s little head.

For a moment,

The pavilion was filled with a warm and comfortable atmosphere.

Over these years,

Whenever Ailiya felt heavy-hearted or weary, she liked to rest her head on Bai Lianyue’s lap. Feeling the jasmine fragrance from Lianyue’s body and the caress of those gentle hands, all the troubles in Ailiya’s mind would be erased.

And this time, under the Malevolence lady’s loving touches, Ailiya’s mood gradually calmed.

With her heart much lighter, the silver-haired girl, after another moment of silence, slowly opened her eyes, revealing her jewel-like cherry-colored irises.

However,

A trace of solemnity now showed in those cherry-colored eyes.

“Mother, did you say earlier that the Anloxi family wanted to cooperate with Paradise Manor to capture me, Miya, and Weiya?”

“Yes.”

“Paradise Manor… eight years ago it was also those people who were after us.”

“That’s right.”

While playing with Ailiya’s silver hair, Miss Bai Lianyue nodded slightly.

“Paradise Manor… Sister Cat introduced them before as a power from the Divine Kingdom. But they rarely appear in the public eye. In the news, the words ‘Paradise Manor’ never appear…”

Over the past eight years,

Although Ailiya had always lived in the Veiled Domain, she clearly hadn’t neglected to follow various affairs in human nations.

“They’re quite mysterious.”

“Not mysterious at all~”

Bai Lian interrupted Ailiya’s words,

“Just a bunch of cowards hiding their heads.”

The Malevolence lady said coldly, the disgust in her tone unmistakable.

“Why does mother hate Paradise Manor so much?”

“Why? Isn’t it because of them that you, Aier, had such a miserable childhood? And Paradise Manor… perhaps they have connections with those detestable things.”

“Detestable things… you mean the people who hurt mother when you were human?”

“Yes, those bea-… huh?”

While nodding, the Malevolence lady belatedly frowned.

Human period?

“You, you know?”

“Mm.”

The girl resting on the Malevolence lady’s lap slowly nodded,

“Before becoming the Terran Malevolence, mother was human, right?”

“Geez…”

Hearing this, Bai Lianyue was momentarily speechless. It should be noted that in her ‘reliable plan,’ she hadn’t intended to let her daughters know about her past.

After all, if they knew the terrifying Terran Malevolence was once human, the children might develop sympathy. And she had hoped the children would despise her, so they could become heroes who would eliminate her in the future.

Hmm?

Despise?

Wait, didn’t I want the children to hate me a little more? Why am I now comforting Aier?

Looking down at the silver-haired girl resting on her lap, Bai Lianyue blinked in confusion. She felt she often did things that didn’t align with her plans?

Wuwu, so confusing.

Forget it, I won’t think about it now.

Today is special anyway…

After a long sigh, Bai Lianyue nodded slightly. Since her daughter had already said so, Bai Lianyue had no intention of hiding it any longer, especially since she wasn’t very good at lying.

“Yes, before, I was.”

“I see… so it’s true.”

“Aier, how did you know about this?”

“Octopus sister told me.” Without hesitation, Ailiya immediately exposed Ling Xi.

Clearly, Ailiya was still somewhat resentful that the octopus sister hadn’t helped earlier.

Upon hearing this, a terrifying cold gleam flashed almost imperceptibly in Bai Lianyue’s emerald eyes.

Reαⅾ οո KаtRеаⅾіոɡСafе

That dead octopus,

Big mouth…

Next time I’ll cut off her tentacles and make takoyaki… hmph! (A certain octopus munching on an apple: Achoo!! Ying ying? Why do I suddenly have another bad premonition?)

“Hey, mother, just curious, what kind of person were you before?”

“? Enmm…”

Faced with this question, Bai Lianyue pressed her finger against her lips, as if thinking about something. However, after a moment of contemplation, Bai Lianyue shook her head:

“To be honest, I don’t really remember.”

Although Bai Lianyue often tried to recall, her brain and memories had been too severely eroded by curse energy. No matter how hard Bai Lianyue tried to remember, her former self remained shrouded in fog.

“Enmm, but I should have been quite awesome.”

“Awesome?”

“Yes, elegant and graceful, handsome and dashing, incredibly intelligent type~”

“…”

“Hey, what’s with that doubtful look on your face!”

“Nothing… So mother, why do you hate Paradise Manor?” The silver-haired girl asked another question.

“Well… because they killed someone very important to me.”

“Who…”

“Uh, just someone very important.”

Bai Lianyue narrowed her eyes slightly, a trace of sadness quietly appearing in them.

About Xing Wu, Bai Lianyue didn’t plan to tell Aier yet. She worried it might give the child some negative thoughts.

For instance,

Whether she was just a replacement…

Fortunately, seemingly hearing the struggle in the Malevolence lady’s tone, Ailiya didn’t continue to ask about this matter.

“Since mother hates Paradise Manor, why not just destroy them directly? With mother’s power, you should be able to, right?”

As someone who had personally witnessed the battle between two Malevolences, Ailiya was very clear about the terrifying power possessed by Malevolence-tier beings.

Rеаԁ oո KαtRеaⅾiոɡСafе

That kind of power, far greater than the Divine Departure Realm.

At this stage, humans shouldn’t have the ability to resist.

Faced with this question, Bai Lianyue exhaled a breath, a bitter smile quietly appearing on her beautiful face.

“Sigh.”

“Of course I want to wipe them out in one go. But… although I know they’re in the Divine Kingdom, I haven’t found any clues about their specific location. Rushing in to search would cause many casualties.”

“Honestly, I don’t want to involve too many innocent people. And using curse power on such a large scale, I’m afraid I wouldn’t be able to maintain my sanity for long.”

“More importantly… neither Serveiling and the others, nor I, can approach the Divine Kingdom.”

Hearing this, a look of confusion clearly appeared in Ailiya’s eyes.

“Can’t approach? Why?”

“I don’t know.”

The Malevolence lady honestly shook her head.

“It’s just that when we get close, we feel very uncomfortable, with a sense that if we continue forward, our sanity would collapse… a kind of instinct to stay away from that place. That’s why Yelena and the others have been arranging for people to secretly infiltrate the Divine Kingdom, trying to figure out the reason…”

“So that’s how it is. The people of Paradise Manor have quite a few tricks.”

Biting her lip, Ailiya said coldly.

“Does Aier also want to destroy Paradise Manor?”

Bai Lianyue suddenly asked.

“Yes.”

The girl nodded without hesitation,

“They harmed my mother, and they keep thinking about harming Miya and Weiya… if we don’t eliminate them, our days ahead won’t be peaceful.”

“That’s true. But Aier, you should know, Paradise Manor is a very powerful force. Aier’s current strength is not enough to deal with them.”

“Then I’ll continue to train and become stronger.”

“Wanting to become stronger is a good thing. Mother has a way to help Aier become stronger~”

“Hmm?”

The silver-haired girl turned to the side, looking at Bai Lianyue’s face in confusion.

Reαⅾ οո KαtReaԁіոɡСаfе

Under Ailiya’s puzzled gaze, Bai Lianyue smiled meaningfully and took out a delicate little bottle from her chest.

Shaking it, Bai Lianyue said seriously:

“These are pills mother made by concentrating her flesh and blood. After eating them, you’ll be able to reclaim your mother’s power. Once you enter the Divine Departure Realm, you’ll have the capital to confront Paradise Manor.”

At this moment, taking advantage of Ailiya’s lament about her insufficient power, the Malevolence lady began to tempt the pure child to eat her flesh and blood like a demon.

However,

Miss Bai Lianyue was clearly an unqualified demon.

Because after hearing Bai Lianyue’s “tempting” words, Ailiya directly gave a disdainful eye roll, then turned on her side, facing her head toward the Malevolence lady’s abdomen.

“No.”

“Eh!?!”

Witness the Malevolence lady’s confused exclamation. According to the normal script, shouldn’t the child be eager to gain more power to avenge her mother at this point?

Why would she refuse?

This shouldn’t happen?

“I have sugar-coated ones! They’re strawberry flavored! Just try them, Aier.”

“No.”

“Huh? How can this be…”

Seeing her daughter refuse without hesitation, Bai Lianyue couldn’t help but pout, mumbling somewhat dejectedly.

Her disappointment was evident.

However, just as the Malevolence lady felt all her plans were ruined, Ailiya’s next words made her eyes light up again.

“Well, I suppose it’s not entirely impossible.”

“Really?!”

“Mm.”

Ailiya glanced sideways, looking somewhat mischievously at the Malevolence lady.

“If mother feeds me, I’ll consider it. Of course, not feeding by hand… but feeding mouth to mouth~”
