Volume 4, Chapter 20 – Fighting Three Alone, Expelling Evil Gods… What’s the Truth?

At the Lingyuan family main residence, in the courtyard filled with bellflowers, our evil god miss had already been helped by Ailiya and a group of maids into a cute white dress. Holding a parasol, she was leisurely strolling through the courtyard.

Ailiya had also set aside her work for now, accompanying Bai Lianyue’s side. She was enjoying the long-missed pleasant time of walking with Bai Lian.

Ailiya was quite happy to be able to walk and chat with Lian in the quiet courtyard.

However, her happiness didn’t last long before Ailiya’s expression darkened.

What she wanted was alone time with Lianyue.

But perhaps because news of Bai Lianyue’s awakening had already spread, the servants and guards of the Lingyuan family kept coming to visit this mistress of the household. Clearly, Lian, who had always maintained a cute and somewhat airheaded state in the past, had accumulated quite a bit of popularity within the Lingyuan family.

So much so that as soon as she awakened, many maids and servants came running with tears in their eyes to visit her and bring awakening blessing gifts.

Ailiya naturally didn’t oppose Lianyue being popular.

But what annoyed her was… these servants kept coming one by one to find Lian, disrupting her alone time with Lian.

The girl wanted to explode, but to maintain her image, Ailiya had to restrain herself.

For a moment, this silver-haired girl pouted, her expression becoming somewhat conflicted.

“…”

“What’s wrong, Ai’er? Are you feeling unwell somewhere?”

Seeming to notice the change in Ailiya’s expression, the evil god miss asked with concern.

“No, nothing’s wrong, Lianyue.”

Ailiya shook her head, then cast a puzzled gaze toward the blue-haired girl:

“Does Lianyue find this enjoyable?”

“This?”

“Just having maids run over to greet you from time to time… interrupting us…”

“Not at all? It’s quite nice~”

Rеaⅾ oո ΚatReaԁiոɡCаfe

Bai Lianyue replied without hesitation, completely missing the displeasure in Ailiya’s tone.

“I can chat with Ai’er while receiving everyone’s blessings, and even get gifts~ How wonderful~”

Faced with this answer, many black lines couldn’t help but appear on Ailiya’s pretty face.

After a brief silence, Ailiya sighed wearily.

“Forget it, expecting you to… I must have really lost my mind.”

“Hmm?”

Fortunately, most of the Lingyuan family servants had posts to maintain during the day, so after experiencing more than ten minutes of gift-giving activities, the courtyard finally returned to a quiet state, with only Ailiya and Bai Lianyue remaining.

“Wow~”

Looking at the full bag of gifts in her hands, Bai Lianyue’s lips couldn’t help but curve upward.

“Hehe~, everyone’s so enthusiastic~”

The evil god miss didn’t dislike everyone’s affection and care; rather, she quite enjoyed it.

Compared to the period when she was an evil god, when everyone looked at her with that kind of terrified, fearful gaze, this gaze full of love and indulgence was far more pleasant.

Enmm, though she didn’t know if it was her imagination… she always felt those gazes weren’t the kind used to look at respected elders. Instead, they were more like looking at a cute child…

Bai Lianyue was somewhat puzzled.

Of course, soon, the big-hearted evil god miss waved her hand and showed an indifferent expression.

After a bout of self-amusement, Bai Lian refocused her attention on her own daughter. No matter what, the main purpose of her walk with Ailiya was to understand a bit about what had happened during these two years and how the three children had grown.

On the other side, seeing that no one was interrupting anymore, Ailiya’s mood also improved somewhat, and she began patiently describing the situation of the past two years to Bai Lianyue with a smile.

Of course, the information Ailiya told Bai Lianyue was all filtered.

After all, some things, if the evil god miss knew about them… would instead have adverse effects…

As Ailiya continued her descriptions, the evil god miss kept exclaiming in amazement, and the shocked expression on her face grew increasingly intense.

When she heard that her daughter had actually defeated three Vassals of Sea in one go recently, Bai Lianyue’s eyes suddenly burst with brilliance. She even dropped her gifts and parasol, excitedly pouncing forward and directly hugging Ailiya’s neck from behind, rubbing against her cheek continuously.

“Wow~, actually fighting three at once?!! Ai’er is so amazing!! Mommy is so proud!!”

The evil god miss’s joyful and melodious voice clearly echoed throughout the courtyard.

Although Polana’s vassals weren’t particularly strong, they were still Vassal Tier existences. Defeating three vassals in one go wasn’t something ordinary human powerhouses could accomplish.

Thinking that the little one she had raised ten years ago, that frail little one, had become a powerful existence capable of tearing apart vassals, Bai Lianyue’s heart couldn’t help but fill with pride.

Hehe, truly worthy of being a child I taught~

She’s already reached Divine Departure Realm.

Divine Departure Realm…

Silently repeating those words in her heart, a barely perceptible trace of depth flashed through Bai Lianyue’s eyes.

Of course, this emotion was quickly concealed by the evil god miss, covered by that silly yet joyful smile. Then, the evil god miss continued rubbing Ailiya’s cheek, making the latter feel helpless.

“Lianyue, enough, enough, that’s enough!”

Although she had loved being rubbed by Bai Lianyue when she was little, being rubbed so intimately in broad daylight still made the current Ailiya feel embarrassed.

What if someone saw?

If you want to rub, do it tonight when we go back!

After finally getting Bai Lianyue off her neck, Ailiya, with a slightly red face, explained helplessly:

“Strictly speaking, I, I’m not that amazing. I didn’t really defeat three vassals.”

Although she loved being praised by Lianyue, Ailiya didn’t want to deceive her.

“Hmm?”

Hearing this, Bai Lianyue tilted her head in confusion:

“What do you mean?”

“…Those three vassals weren’t actually defeated by my power alone. They had actually already been beaten up by sister-Yelena.”

Recalling the major event from several days ago, Ailiya couldn’t help but sigh wearily.

“Beaten up?”

“Yes. Sister-Yelena said I needed to improve my personal reputation and also needed more combat experience… So she captured three Vassals of Sea for me to practice on. But to ensure I had the ability to fight three at once, sister-Yelena first weakened the three Corrupted Beasts. So strictly speaking, I just finished off three low-health enemies, not as amazing as you imagined.”

“Oh oh, so that’s how it was.”

Bai Lianyue nodded blankly:

“But Ai’er is still amazing!! Even if they were low-health, they were still evil god vassals! Fighting three at once is still very impressive! Not to mention Ai’er even drove off Polana’s avatar!!”

“Polana?”

“Yes? That’s Polarvitan, that four-legged freak that’s half snake, half fish!”

“Abyssal Lord…”

After sighing, Ailiya shook her head again.

“No, Lianyue. Driving off Polarvitan had even less to do with me. That was something you did.”

“Me?”

Pointing at herself, Bai Lianyue blinked in confusion.

But soon, Bai Lianyue realized.

“I, at that time, woke up, didn’t I?”

“Yes.”

Rеαⅾ oո КаtRеаⅾіnɡСafe

Ailiya nodded. It seemed like recalling the tense situation of that day made Ailiya appear somewhat shaken.

“Abyssal Lord used the vassal corpses to come and demand an explanation. Then, Lianyue, you temporarily awakened. In a dazed state, you tore the opponent apart.”

“Sure, sure enough it was like that.”

Bai Lianyue sighed with complex emotions.

Although she was asleep, when sensing another evil god’s aura, she would still instinctively act?

“Then, did I, did I…”

“No.”

Seeming to guess what Bai Lianyue was worried about, Ailiya directly shook her head in denial.

“Don’t worry, you didn’t harm us. After tearing apart Abyssal Lord’s avatar, you fell asleep again.”

“Oh, oh, that’s good then. Oh, right, right!!”

Suddenly thinking of something, Bai Lianyue suppressed the heaviness in her heart and looked at her daughter with some excitement and curiosity:

“Earlier Naro said that when you were fighting Abyssal Lord, your whole body was emitting golden light! Ai’er!! Did you awaken second attribute powers?!! Golden light? Is it the holy attribute?!”

In this world, the vast majority of beings only had one type of spiritual power attribute.

Existences with multiple attributes were extremely rare.

But once one could awaken a second attribute, they would definitely be among the strongest of the strong. After all, the power contained within dual-attribute experts far exceeded that of single-attribute powerhouses.

Incidentally, all three Trinity of Malevolence possessed three types of attribute powers.

Facing Bai Lianyue’s excited gaze, Ailiya slowly shook her head and looked seriously into Bai Lianyue’s eyes.

“No, Lianyue. I haven’t awakened a second attribute. That golden light that protected me… actually… was also your power.”

“Ah? Also, also mine?”
