Volume 4, Chapter 30 – Luo Fei’s Inquiry

Lingyuan family main residence, 11 PM.

In the dim room, the evil god miss, currently wearing a nightgown, was leaning wearily against the sofa in her room, staring at the ceiling with a lifeless expression.

After being educated by Ailiya on common knowledge and etiquette for two or three days, Bai Lianyue felt like her brain was about to explode, constantly buzzing.

She felt that even when she desperately studied the otherworld language back then, wanting to integrate into this world, it wasn’t this exhausting!

Actually, being tired would be manageable…

After all, as an evil god, her stamina was sufficient to support all-night studying.

But Ai’er’s teaching methods were simply unbearable!

Too strict! Too excessive!

Before class, she’d set out a table full of delicious food, saying it could be eaten after finishing the lesson. But the result?

During class…

Getting distracted meant losing a piece of cake; answering incorrectly meant losing a roasted chicken; sneaking candy meant losing a steak; protesting once meant losing a bowl of noodles; not listening to Ai’er meant losing a plate of fruit…

After a series of operations like this, she could only drink the northwest wind after class ended.

Drinking the northwest wind was one thing, but she also had to watch Ai’er eat delicious food with longing eyes.

Wuu wuu wuu qwq, too much!

The evil god miss couldn’t help but complain internally.

That petty girl, was she taking the opportunity to get revenge? Revenge for being so strict with her during training?

“Bad Ai’er…”

Pouting, Bai Lianyue complained huffily.

Just then, a magnetic voice full of teasing drifted into Bai Lianyue’s ears.

—”Your own brain is stupid, unable to learn such simple things clearly, yet you still have the nerve to complain?”

“Mmm?”

Frowning, Bai Lianyue coldly directed her gaze to the side, toward the silver-haired man who had just opened the door and entered the room – her nominal husband, Luo Fei-Lingyuan.

“What are you here for? You’re not trying to steal my room again, are you?”

Seeming to recall that night from two years ago, Bai Lianyue said irritably.

After closing the door and activating the room’s isolation system, Luo Fei disdainfully glanced at the blue-haired girl.

“Idiot… we’ve been sleeping separately for ages. Why would I steal your room?”

“Then, could it be, you, you want to do something to me?!”

Protecting her chest, the evil god miss glared fiercely at Luo Fei.

Considering that she was currently wearing his wife’s appearance, Bai Lianyue was momentarily worried… whether he would treat her as a substitute for his wife and demand she fulfill some wifely duties.

“I’m warning you! Don’t do anything rash!”

“=-=…”

Seeing this, Luo Fei fell silent. After a brief silence, he directly let out a cold snort.

His contemptuous emotions were unmistakably displayed.

“Your brain really does have problems. What are you thinking about, idiot? I have no interest in mating with an evil god.”

“Oh, that’s good then.”

After receiving his denial, Bai Lianyue breathed a slight sigh of relief, slowly lowering the arms protecting her chest.

However, the next instant, Bai Lianyue’s heart tightened again, her emerald pupils filled with unusual emotions.

“What did you just say?”

“Was I not clear enough? Gaia Lobir.”

Luo Fei calmly asked back, his expression showing not the slightest trace of fear.

“You, you know my identity?”

There was a trace of bewilderment in Bai Lianyue’s tone.

Previously, to control Luo Fei’s emotions and not overly stimulate him, Bai Lianyue and Yelena hadn’t told this Lingyuan family head the evil god’s true identity. Therefore, when she saw Luo Fei calmly speak her real identity, the evil god miss felt so surprised.

“Did Yelena and the others tell you?”

“No, I figured it out myself.”

As he spoke, Luo Fei smiled with amusement.

“And now, you seem to have confirmed my guess.”

“Uh… how, how did you figure it out?”

“It wasn’t difficult.”

Luo Fei crossed his arms over his chest, calmly stating his reasoning.

“Yelena is the Black Witch, right? The strongest monster among the Terrabond Lineage. Every time she comes to visit you, she treats you with the utmost respect. Saying you’re a newly born vassal? Who would believe that? Moreover, even though you were clearly asleep and in a completely defenseless state, I still couldn’t see through you? You know, even the Black Witch at Peak Divine Departure Realm, I could see through when she’s defenseless. But you?… This can only mean you’re a more terrifying existence than the Black Witch. How’s my reasoning, Gaia Lobir?”

“Mm, sounds about right.”

The blue-haired girl sighed resignedly.

Her identity was seen through just like that? It felt strange somehow.

“So, after knowing I’m the Terran Malevolence? You’re not afraid?”

“What’s there to be afraid of?”

Luo Fei waved his hand dismissively.

“If you really wanted to harm us, my daughters and I would have died long ago, wouldn’t we?”

“True. So…”

Meeting Luo Fei’s gaze, Bai Lianyue slowly sat up from the sofa and put on a serious expression.

“You came specifically to find me this time – what do you want to do?”

“I want to confirm some things.”

Luo Fei sat down across from Bai Lianyue on his own.

“What things?”

“You’re protecting my daughter because you signed a soul contract with her, right?”

“Mm.”

Bai Lianyue nodded. Since Luo Fei had asked directly, the evil god miss didn’t plan to hide anything.

As Ailiya and the others’ nominal father, Luo Fei had the right to know these things. Besides, this Lingyuan family head was already bound together with them – telling him wouldn’t matter.

“Ai’er won the Salvation Game back then and wished for me to protect them. So I became their mother.”

“So it really was the Salvation Game… Then, if the information I understand is correct, the Salvation Game contract has a ten-year term, right?”

“Right.”

“Considering when Ailiya and the others disappeared back then, there are less than two months left… before the contract ends, right?”

“Yes.”

After receiving this answer, Luo Fei’s expression became grave, his fists involuntarily clenching, and his gaze toward the evil god miss took on a trace of coldness.

“Then what will you do after two months? Will you take away Ailiya’s soul?”

Recalling his previous investigations, quite a few of Gaia Lobir’s contractors had their souls taken away after contracts ended because they couldn’t renew.

At this moment, the evil god miss was rarely intelligent for once. Seeming to see through Luo Fei’s worry, Bai Lianyue sighed and shook her head.

“I won’t take away Ai’er’s soul.”

“Wh-what?”

“When the contract expires in two months, if Ai’er wishes to renew, then I’ll continue protecting them. If Ai’er wants to leave, I won’t stop her either. Everything will be based on Ai’er’s own will.”

“Are you serious?”

Luo Fei said doubtfully.

After all, this didn’t match what he understood about the Salvation Game.

To this, the evil god miss smiled gently.

“Don’t worry, I’m serious. Ai’er is different from other contractors. Other contractors are treated by me as objects to be used, but Ai’er? She’s treated as a daughter. Not only my daughter, but also the descendant of my friend… How could I harm her?”

“Daughter? Hehe, truly unexpected.”

Hearing these words, the gravity and unease in Luo Fei’s eyes seemed to dissipate considerably. Though their time together was brief, Luo Fei felt… this evil god seemed to truly cherish Ailiya, though it was somewhat hard to believe.

Hm?

Wait? She just said…

Frowning, Luo Fei opened his mouth puzzledly:

“Gaia Lobir, you just said descendant of a friend? What do you mean?”

“Well, actually, little Luo Fei. I’m old friends with your father.”

“Old friends?”

“Right, Xi Xuan was my former comrade. Before I became the Terran Malevolence, I had another identity – I was the chief of the First Celestial Augur Knights~”

“The First Chief?!”

Luo Fei’s expression changed dramatically, as if he couldn’t believe what he was hearing.

“Yes, so strictly speaking, privately, you should call me uncle. Of course, if you don’t want to call me that, it’s fine. Just don’t call me Gaia Lobir. I have a name. I’m called Bai Lianyue~, understand?”

The evil god miss crossed her arms over her chest, speaking in a proud tone.

Honestly, this behavior of revealing her identity and startling the other party was something Bai Lianyue had fantasized about many times. Now that she could finally put it into practice, the evil god miss felt quite satisfied inside.

However, faced with Bai Lianyue’s self-revelation, Luo Fei was directly stunned in place, looking at the blue-haired girl before him in disbelief. After taking in her familiar arrogant gestures, Luo Fei’s expression became increasingly strange.

Finally, after hesitating for over ten seconds, Luo Fei tentatively called out:

“Blockhead Bai?”

Upon these words, it seemed to directly hit a nerve in the evil god miss, making her glare at Luo Fei huffily:

“Blockhead my ass! You’re the blockhead! Your whole family are blockheads! Your damn ancestors for eighteen generations are all block… hm?”

However, before finishing her cursing, Bai Lianyue couldn’t help but frown, looking at Luo Fei with particular confusion.

“You?? What did you just call me??”
