Malevolent – Chapter 20 – The Twins Want to Play with Mommy~

“Tap tap tap~”

With the crisp sound of footsteps, a pair of twin little girls quickly darted through the dilapidated building.

The air was permeated with dust and mildew, and their cheerful footsteps echoed through the empty hallways.

Miya, with azure gemstone eyes and a particularly lively demeanor, held her sister’s small hand as she jumped forward on her short legs, her movements agile and eager. Her round little face wore a mischievous smile, her eyes sparkling with innocence.

“Hurry up~, Weiya! Hurry! We’re almost there, hehe~”

As her sister, Weiya quietly followed behind, her long silver hair floating behind her, occasionally looking down at the ground, her steps slightly careful, yet equally adorable.

Compared to the lively Miya, Weiya appeared much more reserved.

Not only that,

Unlike her excited sister, Weiya’s little face clearly showed some conflicted emotions.

“Sister… is this okay? Leaving without telling Sister Ailiya… Sister Ailiya will be upset.” Weiya said timidly.

“Hmm?”

Hearing this, Miya still had no intention of stopping, but instead puckered her lips, saying somewhat angrily:

“Can’t help it, it’s Sister Ailiya’s fault for not letting us find Mommy to play. Mean sister, hmph~, Weiya, let’s not mind her~”

“But…” Weiya hesitated, lowering her head.

“Don’t you want to play with Mommy?” Seeing her sister still hesitating, Miya directly posed a soul-searching question.

Hearing this, Weiya quickly nodded.

“I want to…”

“Then don’t think too much, just come with me~”

“Okay.”

Although she felt guilty toward Sister Ailiya, for the sake of cuddling with Mommy, Weiya finally set aside her hesitation.

After a slight nod, she obediently followed her twin sister.

And so,

The two little girls continued to scamper through this abandoned building.

On the other side,

In the hot spring on top of the building, Bai Lianyue was quietly soaking, leaning against the wall, watching the gesticulating pink octopus in front of her with complex emotions.

“Yingying, yingying ying~, yingying!”

The pink octopus excitedly informed her boss of everything that had happened recently, that is, after Bai Lianyue’s main consciousness had fallen into slumber.

Judging from the octopus’s excited performance,

She had tried her best.

Unfortunately, due to slight deficiencies in expression and logical abilities, what she said… made Bai Lianyue’s face turn black with exasperation. The Terran Malevolence lady had to raise her hand to her forehead and sigh helplessly:

“Forget it, you don’t need to say any more… I’ll ask Serveiling about the details later.”

“Ying…”

Feeling her boss’s disdainful gaze, the pink octopus lowered her head, feeling somewhat dejected and lost.

“Sigh.”

After sighing slightly, Bai Lianyue slowly raised her head, gazing toward the bright moon in the sky.

Although Ling Xi’s expressive abilities weren’t great, Bai Lianyue still learned about the major events that had occurred on Luxaris in recent years. For instance, Ulutiel’s war with the Westivian Covenant; the Abyssal Lord Polarvitan killing three Divine Departure Realm powerhouses from the Maretide Kingdom – Ronaphys… as well as the newly emerged… Divine-Graced Maiden who could control the Sacred Stone…

enmm,

Speaking of the Divine-Graced Maiden?

This Divine-Graced Maiden who could control the Sacred Stone seemed to be the one she had just devoured…

Pressing her chest, Bai Lianyue looked at the reflection of her face on the water’s surface with complex emotions.

After so many years, human society had finally produced a saint comparable to Elegy back then… only to be killed by her, and then devoured?

Sigh,

The crimes I’ve committed have increased by one more, huh?

“Hehe…”

Miss Bai Lianyue gave a bitter laugh.

But while laughing bitterly, Bai Lianyue raised her eyebrows, as if suddenly remembering something. Then, the Terran Malevolence lady abruptly turned her gaze toward the pink octopus beside her:

“Ling Xi, didn’t you say this Lianna was a saint who possessed the Sacred Stone? Where did the Sacred Stone go?”

“Ying?” (Sacred Stone?)

Hearing this, with two tentacles folded in front of her, the pink octopus swayed her head as she began to recall.

“Ying, yingying, yingying~” (Don’t know, I don’t think I’ve seen that thing.)

“Hmm?” Bai Lianyue blinked in puzzlement.

Such an important item, that Divine-Graced Maiden actually didn’t keep it with her?

Back then, Elegy would never let the Sacred Stone leave her side.

“I don’t understand…”

The more she thought about it, the more she learned from Ling Xi, the less Bai Lianyue could understand this Divine-Graced Maiden called ‘Lianna.’

Not keeping such an important Sacred Stone by her side…

Always gentle and kind, yet suddenly changing her temperament, even wanting to kill her own daughter?

enmm,

And also,

Slowly raising her hand, caressing the two hideous wounds on her abdomen, the confusion in Bai Lianyue’s beautiful jade eyes grew more intense.

“Having given birth to three children, but…”

There were no traces of having experienced childbirth on her body…

“Strange.”

Touching the wounds on her abdomen, Bai Lianyue muttered to herself thoughtfully.

Just then,

“Creeeeak…”

The sound of a rusty iron door opening interrupted Bai Lianyue’s thoughts, causing the Terran Malevolence lady to slightly turn her head toward the rooftop door.

Then,

Under Bai Lianyue’s somewhat puzzled gaze, two little heads, one up and one down, simultaneously peeked out from behind the door—it was Ailiya’s twin sisters, Miya and Weiya.

The moment they saw Bai Lianyue, excitement and joy spilled from their eyes.

“Mommy!!”

“Mommy~”

…

“Eh?”

Although she didn’t know how these two little ones had found their way here, the moment she saw the two little girls, Bai Lianyue instantly recalled the embarrassing scene of being frantically nursed earlier. So, the young woman instinctively raised her hand to protect her chest, seemingly afraid that the two little girls would pounce on her chest again.

However, facts proved that Bai Lianyue was overthinking.

The two little ones, already full, didn’t stare at Bai Lianyue’s chest, but instead cast their excited and expectant gazes toward Bai Lianyue’s face, and the steaming pool of water.

“Mommy, let’s have a water fight!!” Miya, with her straightforward personality, unhesitatingly expressed her thoughts.

“Weiya, also wants to…” Weiya nodded, softly agreeing.

“Huh, a water fight??”

Tilting her head, Bai Lianyue repeated in confusion.

Hadn’t Ailiya told these two girls about her true identity?

Well,

It seemed she hadn’t…

Feeling the twins’ eager gazes, Bai Lianyue made her judgment in her heart.

“Does your sister know you’ve come to find me?”

“No.” x2

The two cuties shook their heads in unison.

“Ah, as expected.”

Bai Lianyue sighed.

These two girls must have snuck out while their sister was sleeping… No wonder, how could Ailiya possibly let her sisters come find me?

“You two should quickly go back, otherwise your sister will be angry.”

Bai Lianyue said softly.

However,

With these words, the smiles on the faces of the two little ones visibly faded. The next moment, the twins directly puckered their lips, looking at Bai Lianyue with resentful and dissatisfied expressions, showing no intention of leaving.

“Wuwuwu… Mommy doesn’t want to play with us…”

“Mommy doesn’t want us again…”

In an instant, emotions of grievance poured from their eyes, and a hint of tears gradually appeared in their big eyes.

“Uh…”

Seeing this, Bai Lianyue’s delicate body trembled.

She really couldn’t bear to see children cry… especially children who looked so much like Xing Wu.

Finally, after a helpless sigh, Bai Lianyue chose to compromise.

“Alright…”

Children would probably tire out after playing for ten or twenty minutes.

By then, sending them back shouldn’t be a problem… right?

“It’s late, you can only play for a little while, and then you have to be good and go to sleep, understand?” Bai Lianyue said with a serious face, using the tone she once used to educate Xing Wu.

Upon hearing these words, the two little ones immediately swept away the gloom on their faces, once again revealing their innocent, radiant smiles.

“Mm-hmm!!”

The next moment, under Bai Lianyue’s helpless gaze, the two little girls scampered out from behind the door, excitedly pouncing toward Bai Lianyue in the pool.

…

On the other side,

While Miya and Weiya were enjoying the pleasant time with ‘Mommy,’ their sister Ailiya couldn’t be happy at all.

Upon waking up to find,

Her sisters, who should have been sleeping in the baby basket, missing, Ailiya suddenly trembled all over, intense anxiety and confusion surging in her cherry-colored eyes. She looked down and around, hurriedly searching through the cave, her footsteps echoing in the quiet space, each step seeming to intensify the anxiety in her heart…

However,

After searching around and still not finding any trace of her two sisters, little Ailiya somewhat desperately raised her hands to her head.

“Miya, Weiya… where did you go!”

At this moment,

Little Ailiya cried anxiously once again…

“Answer me, wuwuwuwu o(╥﹏╥)o…”
