Volume 3, Chapter 47 – Hm? Lianyue Is Actually Blushing?

“Tell me!! Do you have another woman outside?!!” Ailiya pouted, questioning angrily with puffed cheeks.

Since she had been pressed against the wall for a while by that bad woman when being teased in the basement earlier, Ailiya, who had been in close contact with her, had already memorized the bad woman’s scent, just to find an opportunity for “revenge” later.

However, what surprised Ailiya was that she actually smelled this scent… on Lianyue?!!

And on Lianyue’s face and neck, the scent was particularly strong?!

That meant the bad woman had not only come into contact with Lianyue but had even hugged her?

And Lianyue’s attitude about this… was evasive?

—”Something’s fishy!!”—

“Mommy! Tell me honestly, what’s your relationship with that bad woman! Why did she hug you!” Ailiya spoke again fiercely. Her entire demeanor completely overwhelmed Bai Lianyue.

“Eh?” Faced with Ailiya who resembled an angry puffed-up fox, Bai Lianyue blinked weakly and confusedly, like a little white rabbit.

A bad woman who hugged me? That masked girl? How does Ai’er know about this?

The Malevolence lady was completely puzzled.

Unfortunately, how her daughter knew was no longer important; what mattered was how to deal with the bristling Ailiya before her! After all, when her daughter got angry and threw a tantrum… Bai Lianyue as a mother was quite panicked.

“Well, act-actually…”

After a brief struggle, the Malevolence lady chose to tell the truth. Ailiya was pressing too hard, and the panicked Bai Lianyue simply didn’t have time to think of a reasonable excuse.

The hardware didn’t allow it, Her brain… wasn’t that quick. (Bai Lianyue: Hey!!)

As Bai Lianyue’s explanation reached her ears, the bristling Ailiya gradually calmed down. With a somewhat complicated expression, she chuckled and muttered:

“This diary is a sword that actively went to find Mommy?”

“Mm-hmm.”

Bai Lianyue nodded repeatedly in a rather obedient manner. As for why the White Horizon Sword came to find her, and the fact that she was the Alabaster Sovereign, Bai Lian didn’t mention it.

Of course, Ailiya, who already knew all this, was quite cooperative and didn’t ask further questions. The silver-haired girl had other matters she was more concerned about.

“Then… you don’t know who that masked girl is either?”

“Mm.”

Bai Lian nodded again.

“She just suddenly came out and hugged me, but I… I couldn’t remember who she was at all. I just feel like she should be someone I knew before…”

“I see, alright, I understand.”

After taking a deep breath, Ailiya gradually regained her composure, and the anger in her pupils disappeared.

Knowing that Mommy wasn’t fooling around with someone else outside was enough.

After all, Lianyue was too naive and too beautiful. Ailiya always worried she would attract ill intentions from certain people.

“Phew~”

After a long exhale, Ailiya didn’t want to continue this topic and moved closer to Bai Lianyue, sniffing her a little more.

With one sniff, the silver-haired girl’s brows furrowed again.

“Umm?”

Seeing this situation, Bai Lianyue became nervous again.

“Wh-what’s wrong?”

“Mommy’s body… has another smell, a fishy smell…”

“Fishy?”

Raising her arm to smell herself, Bai Lianyue immediately showed an expression of sudden realization:

“It must be residue from cutting those fish monsters earlier… the monsters created by Polana always carry a fishy smell.”

“Wuwuwu… don’t like it, hate that smell.”

Ailiya covered her mouth and muttered.

“Mommy go take a bath right away!! Otherwise, you’ll make our bed smell bad later!”

Saying this, Ailiya hurriedly pushed Miss Bai Lianyue toward the bathroom.

“Oh, oh, I got it.”

Soon, under Ailiya’s urging, Miss Bai Lianyue entered the bathroom with a towel and change of clothes.

And with the closing of the bathroom door, only Ailiya remained in the living room. She silently sat on the sofa and recalled Lianyue’s words from earlier.

That bad woman, Suddenly went to hug Lianyue?

According to Lianyue… that kind of embrace should be to release long-suppressed emotions.

Who would hug Lianyue to vent emotions?

That bad woman must know Lianyue. She probably also knows the fact that Lianyue is the Alabaster Sovereign. Since she’s an acquaintance, why not reveal her identity?

Hmm…

Carefully recalling the scenes when she confronted the bad woman in the basement, Ailiya’s eyes narrowed slightly.

The way that bad woman subdued Greemir and herself seemed somewhat similar to Lianyue’s movements.

Enmm,

While thinking, Ailiya’s mind inevitably echoed some things Serveiling had told her before.

At once, a bold guess surfaced in Ailiya’s mind, causing her cherry-colored eyes to suddenly contract.

“That bad woman, could it be…”

Meanwhile, in the bathroom,

Reaⅾ oո КаtReαⅾіnɡСαfе

After filling the tub with hot water and removing her clothes, our Malevolence lady immersed herself naked in the bathtub. After getting in, Bai Lianyue didn’t rush to scrub herself but quietly submerged her head underwater.

Obviously, tonight’s events had also left the Malevolence lady’s mind in turmoil.

Although she didn’t know who that masked girl was… for some reason… Bai Lian always felt like she saw shadows of Xing Wu in that girl??

Clearly, her build, aura, and movements were all completely different from the Xing Wu she knew.

But why? Why would this thought inexplicably pop into her head?

Bai Lianyue really couldn’t understand.

“…”

Heh, hehe, It’s impossible, what am I thinking?

Raising both hands to hold her head, a trace of bitter smile flashed across the Malevolence lady’s exquisite face.

Wasn’t Xing Wu killed right before my eyes back then? That child’s soul was torn away by Solrog to create the Divine-Graced Maiden.

With an incomplete soul, How could she possibly still be alive…

But, but… that feeling was so…? Strange…

At this moment, Bai Lianyue was increasingly unable to understand her own thoughts. But there was one thing the Malevolence lady was certain of. That mysterious girl who had hugged her earlier definitely had some connection with her!

Later, she would ask Yelena to help investigate.

Just as the Malevolence lady was pondering and struggling with these thoughts, the bathroom door slowly opened with a “creak.”

“Hm?”

Hearing this sound, Bai Lianyue, soaking in the pool, immediately shuddered all over and hurriedly poked her head out of the water. She looked somewhat startled at the silver-haired girl who entered the bathroom carrying a towel and pajamas.

“Ai’er?! Wh-why did you come in?!”

While exclaiming in surprise, Bai Lian instinctively buried her body in the water and curled up.

Hearing Bai Lianyue’s words,

Ailiya frowned in puzzlement and said matter-of-factly:

“To take a bath, what’s wrong?”

As she spoke, Ailiya hung her towel and clothes on the back of the door.

Ailiya was telling the truth.

After experiencing tonight’s commotion, Ailiya herself was quite exhausted and planned to take a bath to rest well.

“B-but, I’m, I’m still bathing…” Bai Lianyue muttered softly.

“I know, that’s why I came in.”

Saying this, Ailiya prepared to remove her outer clothes.

“Mommy is careless and often doesn’t wash properly. Today Mommy’s body is covered with that Corrupted Beast’s fishy smell. If you don’t wash properly, it will make Ai’er very uncomfortable, and it will also make our bed smell bad. So, Ai’er came to help Mommy wash.”

Ailiya said earnestly.

Helping Lianyue bathe.

Ailiya had done this many times before. Strictly speaking, this was part of their daily routine.

However, this time, after the words were spoken, Ailiya suddenly noticed something unusual. That is… instead of opening her arms welcomingly as in the past, Lianyue just kept curling up in the bathtub, silent.

??? Hm?

The girl looked at Bai Lianyue in puzzlement.

And after catching sight of the Malevolence lady’s face, Miss Ailiya’s mind flashed with confusion.

—”Huh? Lianyue… is blushing??”—
