Volume 3, Chapter 18 – Greemir’s Visit, the Alabaster Sovereign’s Legacy Auction

Time slowly passed, and night fell unexpectedly.

Inside the Lingyuan family’s main residence,

Soft moonlight penetrated through the lace curtains, weaving a delicate silver web on little Ailiya’s eyelashes.

Feeling the gentle breeze blowing in from the window, the girl gradually awakened from her unconscious state.

The side effects brought by the alcohol earlier had completely dissipated by this moment.

As expected of the “Qingling Wine” specially made for ability users?

Ouch.

This aftereffect is really…

Feeling the waves of splitting pain coming from her head, Ailiya couldn’t help but show a pained expression.

However,

Just as Ailiya tried to get up, the soft pressure on her arms immediately made the girl raise an eyebrow, and the haziness in her eyes disappeared.

“Hmm? Miya, Weiya?”

Looking at the two little ones beside her, Ailiya muttered in confusion.

“Why are they sleeping on my bed?”

At this moment,

Little Miya was clinging to Ailiya’s arm like a koala, her cream-colored nightgown rolled up above her navel, her chubby cheeks pressed with red marks, and shiny drool hanging from the corner of her mouth.

As for Weiya? She looked relatively more peaceful.

She was using Ailiya’s right arm as a pillow, her silver-haired little head resting in the crook of her elbow, her bent knees unconsciously pressing against her sister’s ribs, looking just like a baby bird that had found a warm nest.

Although feeling a bit confused inside, after seeing the twins’ adorable sleeping faces, Ailiya still felt a wave of healing.

After smiling fondly, a cherry-colored Augury Force gradually emanated from Ailiya’s body.

With such adorable twins, Ailiya naturally didn’t want to wake them up.

Under the guidance of the Augury Force,

The two sleeping little ones obediently released Ailiya’s arms and silently hugged the two small bear pillows that Ailiya had just pulled out. After hugging them a few times and feeling the soft touch of the pillows, the two little girls returned to peacefulness, continuing to dream sweetly.

After comforting her little sisters, Ailiya looked around for Bai Lianyue.

Little Ailiya still needed to settle accounts with this naughty Malevolence for drinking recklessly and taking advantage of her drunkenness to forcibly kiss her!

Although she vaguely remembered that it was Lianyue who had carried her back to the room.

Unfortunately,

Bai Lianyue wasn’t in the room.

Her scent was quite faint here, meaning she must have left the room several hours ago.

So,

Wrapping herself in a coat, Ailiya carefully pushed open the door and left the room.

Finding Lianyue?

For Ailiya now, it wasn’t a difficult task; she just needed to track the tracer in Bai Lianyue’s collar.

OvO Hehe~

Following the signal, Ailiya arrived near the main hall of the Lingyuan family.

The silver-haired girl didn’t walk straight in but rather crept up to the entrance with some confusion and secretly peeked her head out to look inside.

Hmm?

Are there guests? Why is it so lively?

At this moment,

The spacious hall was brightly lit. Naro the butler, Head Maid Kathleen, Guard Captain Niyi, and dozens of Lingyuan family guards and maids had gathered here. Opposite them were several men wearing suits and badges resembling UFOs.

Ailiya had some impression of this badge.

It was the symbol of the Covenant’s largest military industrial enterprise, the Sevitt Syndicate.

“People from the Sevitt Syndicate, coming for a visit?”

Which means?

Is Lian receiving guests from the Sevitt Syndicate now?

Looking at the blue-haired girl sitting on the sofa, being attended to by Grandfather Naro and others, gazing at the girl’s back, Ailiya felt something was off.

But the girl seemed to have no time to think further,

Because Ailiya suddenly discovered,

Opposite Lianyue sat a handsome blonde man in formal attire, elegant and distinguished?

And this seated handsome man had already extended his hand toward Lianyue.

It seemed?

He wanted to caress Lian’s face?

After clearly seeing the man’s face, Ailiya immediately recalled his identity. It was the Fifth Celestial Augur Knight who had earlier in the Veiled Domain made Miya and Weiya call him daddy.

Greemir Sevitt.

The man who had an unusual obsession with her mother.

That guy!

Coming to find Lian again?!

And he even dared to flirt with Lianyue?!

Taking advantage of Lianyue’s naivety! Thinking she doesn’t know how to resist, is that it? You bad guy! You beast! How could you bully someone naive?!

After making this judgment, Ailiya immediately took action.

The next instant,

“BOOM!!”

With a thunderous noise,

Under everyone’s astonished gaze, Ailiya, surrounded by cherry-colored light, flash-dashed above Greemir propelled by Augury Force, and with a foot wrapped in powerful pink energy, directly pressed Greemir’s head down!

Breaking through the marble coffee table, his head was embedded into the ground.

Cracks spread across the floor, radiating outward from Greemir’s head as the center.

As for Greemir himself, he was constantly twitching.

Although Greemir was a Divine Departure Realm expert, being caught off guard and struck in the back of the head by Ailiya, he inevitably suffered some damage, immediately becoming dizzy.

“Hmph! That’s what you get for trying to flirt with my mom! Bad thing!”

After a cold snort,

Ailiya jumped up, leaping off Greemir’s head, and in a flash, she scurried to Bai Lianyue’s side, asking with concern:

“Mom, are you okay? Did he do anything to you?”

Faced with the worried silver-haired girl, Bai Lianyue covered her mouth, unable to help but giggle a few times.

“Hmm?”

Ailiya was confused,

“Mom, why are you suddenly laughing?”

However, before Bai Lianyue could answer, the old butler Naro, standing behind Bai Lianyue, raised his hand to his forehead and sighed wearily.

“Miss Ailiya, how could you act so impulsively? Lord Greemir wasn’t flirting with the madam; he was just handing her an invitation.”

“An invitation?”

Ailiya blinked in confusion. Then, following Naro’s gaze, Ailiya noticed the gold-edged and pink diamond-encrusted letter that had fallen beside Greemir’s hand.

Oh?

Realizing that she might have been too impulsive, the silver-haired girl’s face turned slightly red, and she unconsciously gripped Bai Lianyue’s small hand.

“S-sorry, I… I apologize…”

Ailiya bit her lip somewhat ashamedly.

“And also, Miss Ailiya, you are the young lady of the Lingyuan family. As the host, it is improper for you to attack visiting guests. If Lord Greemir truly dared to flirt with the madam, we would be responsible for castrating him. You shouldn’t have been so hasty to take action…”

Naro spoke again in an educating tone, with a hint of reproach in his voice.

Just as Naro was about to continue his lecture, Greemir, whose head was embedded in the ground, raised his hand and waved first.

“Mr. Naro, this is not little Ailiya’s fault. Considering my somewhat questionable reputation previously, it’s quite normal for Ailiya to misunderstand.”

As he spoke, Greemir supported himself with one hand and forcibly pulled his head out of the floor.

“Besides, I’m fine, there’s no need to speak to the child like this~”

Greemir spoke as if nothing had happened, completely unconcerned.

Well,

That is, if you ignore the crimson liquid continuously oozing from his head.

“Since Lord Greemir has said so.”

Taking a deep breath, Naro said no more and silently retreated behind Bai Lianyue.

Afterward, Greemir displayed what he considered a charming and benevolent smile and looked at Ailiya with a gentle gaze. Not only that, but he also gave Ailiya a thumbs up.

“Not bad! Very powerful impact. It seems little Ailiya has been training hard these years!”

“Ummm….”

Faced with the brightly smiling blonde man, Ailiya, knowing she was in the wrong, shed her vigilant emotions and cast a puzzled look at the letter on the ground.

“Is that invitation for Mom?”

“Yes, it is.”

“What’s it about?”

An invitation personally delivered by a current Celestial Augur Knight seemed quite significant.

Hearing this, Greemir chuckled lightly and picked up the letter.

“This is an invitation to an auction in the capital, Clavino.”

“An auction?”

“Yes. Don’t underestimate it, little Ailiya. This is no ordinary auction. It’s an auction held by the First Celestial Augur Knight, Miss Alice.”

“Lady Alice?”

Ailiya blinked in surprise.

Alice Roth.

The Fifth Seat of the First Celestial Augur Knights.

Like her own grandfather, an ancient existence.

“Isn’t she known for disliking public appearances? Why would she suddenly… host an auction? Is she trying to sell something?”

“What Miss Alice is selling is, of course, no ordinary item. The theme of this auction is~”

Faced with Ailiya’s curious gaze, Greemir enunciated each word with dramatic emphasis.

“The-Alabaster-Sovereign’s-Legacy~”

“Huh?!”
