Volume 3, Chapter 45 – The Stunned Bai Lianyue, The Helpless Bai Xingwu

“Who are you?”

In her dark red beautiful eyes, a vigilant expression unconsciously emerged.

Bai Lianyue gazed seriously toward the other end of the alley, toward that unexpected uninvited guest.

It’s worth noting that she was still in the area where Corrupted Beasts had been rampaging earlier, and had specifically found an uninhabited alley. Clearly, when she arrived, she had confirmed there were no other presences in the nearby area, yet now someone suddenly appeared?

Was it Polana’s vassal?

But quickly, Bai Lian dismissed her speculation. Because the masked young woman in the distance had no trace of curse power throughout her body, much less the unique madness characteristic of Corrupted Beasts.

This young woman was human.

Hmm, or rather?

Half-human?

Her eyes slightly narrowed, and after briefly sensing the other’s aura, Bai Lianyue felt something strange. The other’s aura was half human… and the other half was something she had never encountered before?

Not human, not of another race, and certainly not a Corrupted Beast?

Although puzzled, there was one thing Bai Lianyue could confirm. That was that this young woman in the distance harbored no hostility toward her. There was no fighting intent around the young woman, her spiritual power was completely dormant with no signs of being mobilized, and instead she faintly emitted an excited emotion.

“Um, who might you be?”

After confirming the young woman wasn’t an enemy, the Evil Goddess changed her tone, asking in a friendly and curious manner.

However, faced with Bai Lianyue’s question, the young woman didn’t reply, but instead walked straight toward her under Bai Lian’s puzzled gaze.

The next instant, the young woman kicked off with her lower legs, and with a flash, she came directly in front of Bai Lianyue.

“Mmph??”

The Evil Goddess blinked in confusion.

However, before she could do anything, a sudden scene unfolded before Bai Lianyue. This unidentified young woman, without a word, pounced forward and held her tightly in her arms.

“Eh??”

At this moment, Bai Lianyue’s brain crashed, and she stood there somewhat at a loss. However, after feeling the trembling of the girl’s body, Bai Lianyue instinctively raised her hand and gently patted the other’s back.

“Um, are you, are you alright?”

For a moment, everything fell into silence.

However, this young woman didn’t seem to plan on being intimate with Bai Lianyue for too long. After tightly embracing the Evil Goddess for a few seconds and venting some of her inner emotions, the young woman reluctantly let go of Bai Lianyue.

Then, the teleportation formation on the young woman’s bracelet suddenly activated, immediately enveloping her in a pale blue light.

Faced with Bai Lianyue’s confused gaze, the young woman maintained her complete silence, and raised her hand to point at the wall nearby.

—”Leave this place quickly.”—

These five crooked and awkward large characters had somehow already been carved there.

“Who are you? Why exactly…”

Bai Lianyue felt increasingly puzzled.

Unfortunately, before she could ask more, the mysterious young woman before her suddenly disappeared under the teleportation formation’s effect, leaving only blue light points dancing in the air, and an elven maiden with a head full of ‘question marks’.

Glancing at the text nearby, raising her hand to touch her neck that had just been embraced, Bai Lianyue fell into silence.

Hugging me so excitedly.

And specifically reminding me to leave here quickly?

That girl, what exactly?

Hmm, normal people wouldn’t go out of their way to find me just to hug me once, right? Is she someone I used to know, like Alice and the others? But if she’s someone I know… why didn’t she speak?

Strange, that girl, gave me such a familiar feeling.

Narrowing her eyes, the elven maiden’s beautiful face was filled with gravity.

—”Yet that aura felt so unfamiliar…”—

On the other side, in the suburban area of Clavino.

“Stupid dad!! **! Idiot! Fool! Blockhead! I recognized you immediately! Yet you still didn’t recognize me? Still asking ‘who are you’?? Stupid dad! Argh!! It’s so infuriating! How can you still be as dense as before!”

With a series of resentful curses, the mysterious young woman who had removed her hood and mask, our Miss Xing Wu, punched a nearby large tree.

“……”

With a crisp sound, the towering tree fell to the ground.

Fortunately, after releasing a wave of power and venting the dissatisfaction in her heart, Xing Wu put away her fist and regained her composure.

Forget it, I can’t blame my annoying dad, it was my choice to keep it secret.

Her movements, behavior, habits, dressing style, the Augury Force energy—she had deliberately disguised and concealed all of these. Her dad had always been slow to react, and under these circumstances, it was even more impossible for him to recognize her.

Not to mention…

Looking down at her hands, a deep sadness overflowed from Xing Wu’s purple eyes.

Her current self, even her body wasn’t the original…

Her soul, also incomplete…

—”It would be a miracle if my annoying dad could recognize me, right?”—

Wanting to conceal it, yet still hoping to be recognized by dad? I really… have a problem with my brain.

Rеаԁ оn КαtReadіոɡСаfе

Leaning silently against a large tree, Xing Wu self-mockingly muttered in her heart.

From the bottom of her heart, how much Xing Wu wished to tell her dad her identity right now.

Father and daughter reunited, then nestling contently in her dad’s arms… just like in the past.

But today, rationality ultimately suppressed emotion.

Her current self, if she directly returned to her dad’s side, would only harm her. Although she had temporarily gained Duan’s trust through pretense and obtained the opportunity to leave Paradise Manor, due to the special nature of her body, she was still controlled by that bastard, temporarily unable to gain true freedom.

Under these circumstances, returning to her dad’s side would only make the people of Paradise Manor notice her dad and extend their poisonous hand.

Her dad was strong, strong enough to defeat the Abyssal Lord’s avatar with one strike.

But still not as powerful as a thousand years ago.

And a thousand years ago, as amazing as her dad was, he was still killed by Paradise Manor… not to mention her dad now.

Thinking of this, Xing Wu gave up the idea of returning to Bai Lianyue’s side.

At the same time, considering her dad’s temperament, Xing Wu didn’t plan to tell her she was alive. Otherwise, her dad would definitely rush to challenge Paradise Manor, seeking her own destruction.

—”Sorry, annoying dad, I’ll come find you after I break free from these restraints.”—

The young woman slowly exhaled a breath of turbid air.

The next moment, as if thinking of something, Xing Wu quietly raised her eyebrows.

“Wait a minute? Hmm, calling ‘dad’ doesn’t seem quite right anymore… should I change to calling ‘mom’ now?”

Well, after all, how did dad come back to life, and even turned into a girl?

Xing Wu pouted, involuntarily pondering this serious question in her mind.

An elf?

Rеаԁ οո ΚαtRеаԁіոgСafе

Come to think of it, the Robusta Wildwood we were attacked in back then was once the territory of the elf race. Our initial mission there was ostensibly to search for the remains of the elven sacred tree.

Perhaps, dad wasn’t killed by Moande back then, but was saved by surviving elves nearby?

Dad had a good relationship with the elf race, so it made sense they would save him.

However, dad’s body had already died, so the elves gave dad the body of an Ancient Fae?

As for why he became a girl?

The reason was simple, Ancient Fae were all female…

At this moment, some strange speculations arose in Xing Wu’s mind. However, the young woman no longer dwelled on these things.

Forget it, being alive is what matters.

Annoying dad is annoying dad, no matter what form.

And? An elven girl?

Mmm~, the feeling was so nice~

When I get the chance in the future, I must pinch her more, hehe~

After briefly fantasizing about the beautiful future scene, Xing Wu sincerely revealed a sweet smile. However, the next moment, she put away her smile, revealing that cold and icy expression she usually wore at Paradise Manor, and thoughtfully cast her gaze toward the central area of Clavino, still shrouded in smoke.

Although the Abyssal Lord’s avatar had been defeated, such a big commotion would definitely disturb Duan.

Paradise Manor would contact us.

I need to hurry back.

Otherwise, Yeli would definitely be exposed…
