Volume 3, Chapter 49 – Ailiya Wants to Sleep Together~, Bai Lianyue Is a Bit Conflicted

“This is… Ai’er’s pillow?!”

After recognizing this as her daughter’s personal belonging, Bai Lian’s heart, which had just calmed down, once again became uneasy.

Hmm, Could it be? An ominous premonition arose.

This time, the Malevolence lady’s judgment was unusually correct.

The next moment, a sweet and loving call entered Bai Lian’s ears, confirming her thoughts.

“Mommy, let’s sleep together tonight~”

Sitting up and looking back toward the voice, little Ailiya, who had just finished bathing and was wearing a nightgown, was lying on the edge of the bed, gazing at Bai Lianyue with an adorable expression. Ailiya’s beautiful hair was now pinned up high in a bun at the back of her head, with only a few strands hanging down on both sides, revealing a distinctive, pure beauty.

“……”

Bai Lianyue scratched her head awkwardly and spoke in a pretend serious, educational tone:

“Ai’er, you’re almost an adult now. You need to learn to be independent and not always sleep with Mommy~”

Normally, if Ailiya wanted to sleep with her, Bai Lianyue wouldn’t refuse.

But today’s situation was clearly different.

Bai Lian had a feeling… that her daughter didn’t have good intentions today.

As Bai Lianyue’s response reached her ears, Ailiya visibly showed disappointment, mumbling softly with a pitiful look:

“But… today, Ai’er is a bit afraid to sleep alone… outside feels, very, very unsafe…”

As she spoke, Ailiya, with an anxious face, occasionally glanced at the window beside them.

At this moment, although it was already late at night, outside the window was still brightly lit, and the entire city remained in a state of commotion. Helicopters and drones continuously hovered in the sky above the city, while the roaring engines of various mechs and battle vehicles, along with the sirens of ambulances, were incessant.

Although the Abyssal Lord’s avatar had been defeated by Bai Lianyue, Clavino had clearly not emerged from the crisis.

Not only was the military conducting large-scale searches for possibly escaped Corrupted Beasts, but numerous medical personnel were also rushing around the city, helping citizens injured during the monster wave.

The entire city still lingered in a depressing atmosphere.

After looking at the scene outside the window, then back at Ailiya lying on the window sill, Bai Lianyue sighed helplessly.

The Divine-Graced Maiden was naturally sensitive to curse power.

The aura released by Polarvitan this time had probably frightened Ai’er as well.

That’s why when they first returned home, Ailiya was so apprehensive, wrapped in a blanket, curled up in the corner…

Thinking of this, Bai Lianyue, who was never good at refusing her daughter, could only sigh helplessly.

With a wave of her hand, the curtains closed, and a sound-blocking barrier enveloped the room.

“Alright, tonight Ai’er can sleep in Mommy’s room.”

“Really?”

Ailiya blinked her watery big eyes, asking with an innocent tone.

“Mm.”

Bai Lianyue nodded and slowly lay down. Then, the Malevolence lady moved to the side, making space for Ailiya.

“Don’t lie there anymore, come and sleep.”

The Malevolence lady had ultimately softened her heart.

Hearing these words, Ailiya immediately beamed with joy; the previous gloom in her eyes instantly vanished. She eagerly bounced over to the bed.

“Remember to take off your coat.”

Bai Lianyue reminded her out of habit.

“Mm-hmm.”

Ailiya nodded playfully, then removed her nightgown and tossed it onto the nearby sofa.

Then, Bai Lianyue’s pupils contracted, and she froze on the spot.

“Eh?”

Obviously, Bai Lianyue was shocked by what Ailiya was wearing under her nightgown.

Of course, Ailiya wasn’t completely naked.

This little Divine-Graced Maiden didn’t have the habit of sleeping nude.

However, in some sense, Ailiya’s current attire was more lethal than being completely unclothed.

At this moment, Ailiya was wearing a knee-length, light pink V-neck sheer dress that covered her breasts while revealing her sexy navel. The transparent V-neckline subtly displayed her breasts wrapped in white lace lingerie. Below was a wide skirt; the pink trim along the fluffy, loose hem swayed gracefully with her movements, making her black thong panties occasionally visible.

……

What Ailiya was wearing now was a set of sexy lingerie.

“Ai’er?! Wh-wh-why are you dressed like this?”

After a brief daze, Bai Lian stuttered, mumbling confusedly:

“Hmm? This?”

Lifting her skirt with both hands, Ailiya smiled calmly:

“This is the capital’s latest style of women’s sleepwear~, I just bought it yesterday and wanted to try it on today, hehe~. What’s wrong? Is there a problem, Mommy?”

The capital’s latest style? The people of Clavino are too bold!

“Isn’t, isn’t this too, too revealing?”

“Perhaps~”

Whether intentional or not, Ailiya even wiggled her body on the bed, fully displaying her sexy figure in the lingerie to Bai Lianyue, causing the Malevolence lady’s heart to skip a beat again.

“But it’s fine to wear it at home. It doesn’t matter if Mommy sees it, hehe~”

The girl giggled mischievously.

“Could it be? Mommy has some feelings after seeing it?”

“Hmm?… No.”

Bai Lianyue turned her head away, somewhat guiltily denying it.

“Let’s go to sleep, stop fooling around.”

“Yes, yes, yes~”

Ailiya nodded obediently, then covered herself with the blanket and quickly cuddled up next to Bai Lianyue, affectionately holding onto her arm.

“Good night, Mommy.”

The silver-haired girl closed her eyes contentedly.

“I love Mommy the most…”

Rеаd oո КαtRеadiոɡСаfe

“Good night, Ai’er.”

After softly replying, Bai Lianyue also closed her eyes.

Thus, although the outside world was quite noisy, the room was like a space isolated from the world, quiet and peaceful…

However, in this peaceful environment, Miss Bai Lianyue couldn’t fall asleep at all.

After lying still with her eyes tightly closed for more than half an hour, the Malevolence lady carefully opened her eyes and looked at the somewhat unfamiliar ceiling.

–“Hmm, can’t sleep…”–

To be honest, Bai Lianyue was usually a heavy sleeper. Especially after using her powers.

Normally, once she lay on the bed and closed her eyes, Bai Lianyue would immediately fall into a deep sleep. But today, the girl couldn’t fall asleep for a long time.

With Snow Mercy’s help, Bai Lianyue had recovered some of her past memories.

At the same time, the Malevolence lady’s mind was, for once, slightly clearer.

Then, a strange thought floated into Bai Lianyue’s mind…

Glancing sideways at the cute and mischievous Ailiya hugging her arm.

–“Could this girl Ai’er have some strange thoughts about me?”–

Bai Lianyue knew this thought was outrageous.

But, hmm, thinking carefully, recently? Hasn’t Ai’er been excessively intimate with her?

Just take tonight for example…

Cuddling, helping with the bath, and constantly teasing her during the bath.

When she used to live with Xing Wu before, they never had this kind of interaction.

This kind of interaction made Bai Lian feel… like she wasn’t interacting with a daughter?

But rather… like a couple’s interaction?

Realizing this, Bai Lianyue hurriedly raised her hand to her forehead and shook her head frantically.

No, no, no, Don’t overthink this…

Rеad оո KαtRеаⅾiոgCаfe

Before, she interacted with Xing Wu as a father, which was different from now. At least now, on the surface, I am Ai’er’s mother.

The way mothers and daughters interact is definitely different from fathers and daughters.

Maybe this is how mothers and daughters interact? Maybe Ai’er just wants to tease me?

I’m a Malevolence, the killer who caused the death of Ai’er’s birth mother. It’s already great that the child doesn’t hate me… how could she possibly develop that kind of feeling?

Besides, I’m now a cute girl~ with Lianna’s appearance.

Same gender, mother-daughter, Malevolence…

With so many labels on me. As long as Ai’er has somewhat normal thoughts, she shouldn’t have any reason to harbor strange ideas about me, right?

In a sense, Bai Lianyue had been pretending to sleep for so long to verify her suspicions.

She wanted to see if, after she fell asleep, would Ai’er take advantage and do something inappropriate to her?

Considering her deep sleep quality that wouldn’t wake even to cannon fire or thunder, if Ai’er really wanted to do something to her… taking advantage after she fell asleep would absolutely be the wisest choice!

Fortunately, Ai’er didn’t act inappropriately but was obediently sleeping.

Feeling the silver-haired girl’s steady breathing, listening to the occasional cute sleep-talking from Ai’er, Bai Lianyue finally relaxed a bit.

–“Alright, I must be overthinking this.”–

Ai’er is so pure and adorable, how could I suspect this child?

Sigh, my thoughts are too impure.

For a moment, Bai Lian even felt somewhat guilty.

But in any case, after confirming she was needlessly worrying and comforting herself, Bai Lianyue abandoned the idea of staying up and honestly closed her eyes.

Three seconds later, Bai Lian fell into a deep sleep.

“Hoo hoo hoo ZZZ~”

However, just two seconds after Bai Lianyue had fallen asleep, little Ailiya, who had been “sleeping” for a long time, slowly opened her eyes and playfully looked at her Lianyue.

Indeed, after coming back, Lianyue had changed.

–“She’s become smarter… unfortunately… not by much.”–
