Volume 3, Chapter 57 – Alice Gets Kicked Away Again

“Stop it! You pervert!”

In my current situation, If I get tormented another round?! Something will definitely go wrong!

Thinking this, Bai Lianyue steeled her heart and slowly clenched her small fist.

However, Before Bai Lian could swing her fist to send Alice flying, a silver figure suddenly burst into the malevolent goddess’s line of sight. Alice’s figure then went ‘whoosh’ and flew out.

“Boom!!”

Accompanied by a loud crash, the shattering of furniture, and the collapse of the wall, Alice was kicked away by someone.

And the one who kicked her away was none other than Bai Lianyue’s little darling – little Ailiya.

—”You pervert!! What are you doing to my mama?!!”

Kicking someone with your foot was undoubtedly unladylike behavior, But coming out of the room only to see someone pressing down on her mama? How could little Ailiya possibly stand for that?

After kicking Alice away, Ailiya immediately crouched down and helped Bai Lianyue, who was lying on the ground, to her feet.

“Mama, are you okay? Did she do anything inappropriate to you?”

“No, no she didn’t.”

Bai Lianyue answered with a silly shake of her head, secretly dispersing the condensed power in her hands.

After confirming that Lianyue’s clothes were neat and tidy, Ailiya finally felt somewhat relieved.

After that, the silver-haired girl immediately stood up urgently, looking seriously toward the direction where Alice had been kicked, pointing forward with her finger and saying coldly:

“Don’t you dare do anything inappropriate! You pervert! What exactly are you trying to do to my mama?!”

With this questioning, Ailiya vigilantly stared at the golden figure in the distance.

Although being kicked away by someone was quite absurd, Alice was still fundamentally a peak Divine Departure Realm existence.

Even though she had been severely injured by the Abyssal Lord last night, her physical constitution was still there. Ailiya’s strike naturally couldn’t cause her any real damage.

“Cough cough~”

Pushing away the concrete and steel bars that had fallen on her, Alice coughed as she emerged from the dust.

Regarding being kicked away, Alice didn’t feel angry at all.

Not only that, but a wave of nostalgia actually welled up in her heart. After all, a thousand years ago, every time she tried to tease Sister Alabaster Sovereign, she would be fiercely kicked away by that girl Xing Wu.

Not being kicked away? It actually felt like something was missing.

Rubbing her face where she’d been hit, Alice revealed a playful smile. This made little Ailiya feel disgusted.

(Ailiya: Ugh, this person really is a pervert…)

Then, After carefully recalling Ailiya’s words, this First Celestial Augur Knight curiously raised an eyebrow and cast an inquiring gaze toward the blue-haired girl who was being protected behind Ailiya.

At this moment, Alice instinctively wanted to call out the four words ‘Sister Alabaster Sovereign’.

“A…”

However, After just saying the first word, Alice paused.

Because she discovered, That Bai Lianyue was currently winking at her, obviously unwilling to let her say those words.

Alice was a smart person and immediately understood Bai Lian’s meaning.

Then, The blonde woman cast an ‘I see’ look toward Ailiya’s small face full of vigilance and wariness.

Mm, So that means, These little Divine-Graced Maidens don’t know Sister Alabaster Sovereign’s true identity?

Hehe, worthy of Sister Alabaster Sovereign, hiding so deeply~

Since she understood Bai Lianyue’s intention, Alice naturally chose to cooperate. The blonde woman smiled sweetly, and her words immediately changed:

“Fair and tender Miss Lianna, this must be your daughter Ailiya, right? She’s really energetic. Her strength is also quite good – to be able to kick me away at the peak of Divine Martial Realm, not bad, not bad~”

Alice praised.

Then, Alice met Ailiya’s gaze and said gently:

“Don’t worry, Miss Ailiya. I have no ill intentions toward your mother.”

“Nonsense! Then what were you doing just now?”

“That? I just couldn’t help but greet an old acquaintance when I saw her~”

“Acquaintance?”

“Yes, when your mother was still a Divine-Graced Maiden of the Covenant, she often had tea with me. So really, no need to look at me so warily – I have no hostile intentions.”

“Mm…”

Ailiya fell silent, thoughtfully observing Alice.

And at this time, Bai Lianyue, who had been silent for a long time, also spoke to persuade:

“It’s fine, Ai’er. Go do your things, let mama chat with her.”

“But…”

“Don’t worry, that auntie isn’t a bad person.”

“…”

Of course, after hearing the word ‘auntie’, Alice frowned and immediately cast a resentful look at Bai Lianyue. However, the malevolent goddess naturally wouldn’t pay attention to that.

Instead, she continued to look seriously at her daughter:

“Okay?”

Hearing this, Ailiya could only sigh helplessly.

“I understand, since mama says so. But remember, you can’t do anything inappropriate!”

According to Sister Cat’s explanation, The body Lianyue was currently using could be said to be a product fused after devouring various things. But this body was closest to an Ancient Fae, so it naturally inherited most of the Ancient Fae’s characteristics.

Therefore, in a sense, Ailiya not only had to guard against men, but also against women.

After all, Ancient Fae had always reproduced with the same sex…

If Alice took advantage and got Lianyue pregnant? Then she’d really be screwed.

For this reason, Ailiya deliberately added another warning at the end.

“Mm, I won’t.”

Bai Lianyue said quite definitively.

Soon after, Ailiya went to tidy up the room, organizing the Alabaster Sovereign’s relics that had been acquired at yesterday’s auction.

Watching Ailiya go to organize things, Bai Lian furrowed her brow in some confusion.

“How do you… have so many of my things stored up?”

“Of course I don’t.”

After sitting down beside Bai Lianyue, Alice said with a light laugh.

“Huh?”

Bai Lianyue frowned and asked in confusion:

“Wasn’t it several hundred auction items?!”

“Those? Hehe~. Besides about a quarter that are genuine, most of the others were forged by me~”

“What? You, you…”

“Can’t help it~”

Waving her hand, Alice stuck out her tongue and said with an innocent expression:

“If I didn’t do this, how could I fleece those greedy capitalists for more wool?”

“You, this girl, you’re still the same as before. Full of clever tricks for making money.”

After sighing, Bai Lianyue slowly raised her hand.

Just like a thousand years ago, with a mix of annoyance, helplessness, and indulgence, she flicked Alice’s forehead.

After being flicked, Alice didn’t protest, but rubbed her head with deep emotion.

Vaguely, Tears actually welled up in her eyes.

After all, Alice could never have dreamed that Bai Lianyue, who had supposedly perished in the jaws of Corrupted Beasts, would appear before her again. Although there had been quite a change in appearance, but… Brother Alabaster Sovereign was still Brother Alabaster Sovereign.

Oh wait, Now it’s Sister Alabaster Sovereign.

After a calm smile, Alice slowly rested her head on Bai Lianyue’s shoulder. This time, she didn’t have any thoughts of pouncing on and tackling Bai Lianyue, but simply enjoyed this long-missed ‘sibling’ atmosphere.

Seeing that Alice wasn’t continuing to covet her body and wasn’t mocking her new body, Bai Lianyue also breathed a slight sigh of relief.

“But you, girl. Making all this money, what do you want to do with it?”

“Don’t worry, Sister Alabaster Sovereign, I’m using the auction money reasonably.”

“Taking care of those children like before?”

“It’s not just children anymore…”

Alice sighed somewhat dejectedly:

“In recent years, the rampage of the Vassals of Sea in coastal areas has become increasingly severe. Those displaced aren’t just children… there are quite a few refugees to take care of.”

However, after emotionally sighing in a low mood, Alice immediately shook her head, casting away the gloomy emotions.

Having rarely seen Sister Alabaster Sovereign, Alice didn’t want to make the atmosphere so heavy.

After shaking her head several times, Alice cast her gaze toward the silver-haired girl in the distance who was organizing things in the room and occasionally casting vigilant glances their way.

“Sister Alabaster Sovereign… Lianna is already dead. The one who has been caring for and protecting the little Divine-Graced Maidens all these years is actually you, right?”

“Mm.”

“Do they know your true identity?”

“Weiya and Miya don’t know. As for Ai’er…”

Looking toward Ailiya’s back, after hesitating briefly, Bai Lianyue quietly replied:

“Ai’er knows I’m not Lianna… but she doesn’t understand the relationship between me and the Alabaster Sovereign.”

“Oh, no wonder Ailiya doesn’t treat you like a mother.”

“Mm… hm??”

Bai Lianyue frowned, looking at Alice with some confusion.

“What do you mean doesn’t treat me like a mother?”

“Sister Alabaster Sovereign… can’t you tell? That girl wants to rua you~”

“Huh?”
