Volume 4, Chapter 39 – Someone Starts Trafficking Children

The Celestial Augur Knight investiture ceremony was quite a tedious ritual.

From stepping into the square, one needed to…

(The following ten thousand words are omitted.)

After three hours of complex procedures, Miss Ailiya, who had officially become the Covenant’s sixth Celestial Augur Knight, walked down from the square with a smile and came to the backstage rest area.

The moment she escaped the cameras’ gaze, Ailiya restrained her smile, and like a deflated balloon, tiredly leaned against a stone pillar nearby.

With Ailiya’s strength at the early Divine Departure Realm, plus the evil god’s nurturing she had received since childhood, Ailiya’s physical condition could be called extraordinary.

A mere three-hour ceremony naturally wouldn’t make her feel tired.

Miss Ailiya was mainly mentally exhausted.

The process was too complicated,

The formalities were mind-numbing,

And she had to constantly maintain that pure and moving smile?

——”Damn, so annoying.”——

Ailiya clicked her tongue in displeasure.

Fortunately, after two years of Luo Fei’s training, Ailiya had also gotten used to this kind of pretending, the daily routine of wearing masks, so the girl quickly controlled her emotions.

After taking a deep breath, Ailiya hurriedly took the phone handed to her by a nearby attendant.

After finishing the ceremony,

Ailiya finally had time to check the messages on her phone.

Actually, during the ceremony, Ailiya had received quite a few alerts from home through her earpiece. Now that everything was settled, Ailiya was eager to understand the situation at home.

Lianyue,

Alone at home,

She wouldn’t have caused some trouble again, would she?

And as Ailiya began reviewing the videos and real-time footage recordings on her phone, this Divine-Graced Maiden’s expression suddenly changed dramatically.

??!

Damn!!

What the hell is Lianyue doing?! And what’s the situation with that man?! Where did he come from?!

Moreover,

Why is the entire house filled with curse power aura?

Really!

That idiot Lianyue! Didn’t I tell her not to use curse power recklessly in the capital?! No wait… not just in the capital, Lianyue can’t use her powers recklessly at all right now!

In an instant, a grave expression appeared on Ailiya’s stunning face.

——”Sister Ailiya, what’s wrong?”

The twins, who had been waiting in the rest area, came over, looking at their sister with confusion.

“Did something happen with Mommy?”

The clever Weiya seemed to have already guessed the reason.

After all, the little one was well aware that

In this world, besides the two of them, probably only Mommy could make their sister’s expression change so dramatically.

“Mm.”

Ailiya nodded.

However, Ailiya didn’t have time to explain to her sisters, and instead turned her gaze toward another robust figure in the rest room, which was Greemir who had been temporarily accompanying the twins.

“Senior, Miya and Weiya, please take care of them for me. I have urgent business and need to go back first.”

“I understand, I’ll send your sisters back later.”

Greemir nodded solemnly.

Being tactful, he didn’t ask Ailiya too many questions.

Seeing this,

The silver-haired girl nodded gratefully at Greemir, then reached out to ruffle her two sisters’ heads.

“Miya, Weiya, your sister needs to rush back at full speed first. It’s too fast, not good to bring you along. This uncle will take you home later. Be good and listen to this uncle for now.”

Hearing this, although the twins were puzzled, after looking at each other, they still nodded obediently.

“Mm, understood, Sister Ailiya.”

“Got it.”

“Mm… then I’m counting on you, Senior Greemir.”

After giving final instructions, Ailiya’s body was enveloped in cherry-colored light, instantly transforming into a cherry-colored meteor that rushed out of the rest room, flying toward the high-rise where Bai Lianyue was located!

The reporters from various countries who had been guarding near the rest room with great interest immediately showed expressions of devastating disappointment upon seeing this scene.

After all,

In order to interview Ailiya, they had been camping in this area for several hours.

Yet,

This new Celestial Augur Knight just flew away like that?

“Is it Lianna’s old illness recurring? She’s running so urgently?”

After watching Ailiya leave, Greemir couldn’t help but show worry in his eyes.

For someone like Greemir who didn’t know the inside story,

The reason Lianna hadn’t appeared in public places all these years was mainly because of poor health, being forced to recuperate at home.

Therefore, Greemir couldn’t help but worry about Lianna’s health.

“I hope nothing’s wrong.”

Greemir prayed softly.

However, the next moment,

This veteran Celestial Augur Knight restrained the worry on his face and showed a kind expression.

Reαⅾ οո ΚatReаⅾіոɡСαfe

Greemir didn’t want to transmit his unease to the twins.

“I’ll go arrange a private jet. Before the plane is ready, let’s go get some ice cream first.”

Greemir said with a smile, extending his hand to the twins.

Although he didn’t have children of his own, in order to get along well with Lianna’s children, Greemir had done quite a bit of research beforehand.

Hearing about ice cream, the twins immediately lit up with joy.

As children of the Lingyuan family,

As little ones raised by the evil god miss,

Miya and Weiya were undoubtedly two little foodies.

Upon hearing about ice cream, the two little ones were enveloped in joyful emotions.

“Mm-hmm! Ice cream! Yay!”

“I want vanilla flavor.”

Speaking thus, the twins took Greemir’s hands from left and right.

Although the twins’ first impression of this uncle back in the Veiled Domain wasn’t particularly good, now… under Greemir’s efforts and sincere dedication, the twins had come to accept this narcissistic uncle.

“Ice cream, ice cream~ la la la~”

Miya hummed excitedly.

While Weiya obediently followed Greemir.

——”Are these Miss Ailiya’s sisters? They’re really cute~”

A sudden voice reached the ears of the three.

The moment he heard this voice, Greemir’s entire body trembled, and gravity and wariness instinctively overflowed from his pupils.

“You… why are you here?”

Slightly turning his head to look behind him, Greemir’s tone became extremely cold.

At this moment,

Rеаԁ οո КαtRеаԁingСаfе

A man wearing platinum-colored priest robes who looked refined and elegant was walking step by step toward the twins.

It was none other than the young master of the Valen family who had twice invited Ailiya, Falco-Valen.

Ordinary people would show reverent and worshipful expressions upon seeing a High Priest of the Divine Faith, but the moment Greemir saw him, he displayed stern hostility.

Obviously,

Greemir quite detested him.

Since Falco had also pursued Lianna back then, Greemir and he could be considered romantic rivals, somewhat similar to Luo Fei.

But toward Luo Fei, Greemir felt disgust and wanted nothing more than to beat him up…

But toward Falco?

Greemir hoped he could… directly kill him.

Because Greemir was clear that if Lianna ended up with Luo Fei, at most she would just become a married woman, and he would still have a chance (maybe??)… but if Lianna had been married off to Falco back then, he probably would never see her again in this lifetime.

After all,

Historically, Divine-Graced Maidens who were wed by Popes… after the wedding ceremony ended, they never appeared before the world again.

Were they imprisoned, or dead?

No one knew.

In any case, Greemir didn’t think Divine-Graced Maidens married into the Valen family would have any good end.

“High Priest Falco, what are you doing here?”

Clenching his fists, Greemir questioned coldly, even secretly mobilizing the spiritual power within his body.

However,

Falco, accustomed to being high and mighty, didn’t acknowledge Greemir’s questioning, but instead looked at the two girls around twelve years old on his own, revealing a meaningful smile.

——”Little ones, would you like to come play at big brother’s place? Big brother has prepared many interesting games there~”——
