Malevolent – Chapter 35 – My Lianna Couldn’t Possibly Be This Crude

“Lianna!!!”

Upon turning his head and seeing that familiar figure, Greemir’s pupils suddenly contracted, and an uncontrollable cry escaped his lips.

With this exclamation, the entire hall, even the area surrounding the restaurant, underwent an instant transformation. Whether they were soldiers accompanying Greemir, other customers in the restaurant, the staff, or passersby outside, everyone simultaneously stopped what they were doing and focused their attention on that slender figure wearing a black hood.

However,

Including Greemir, almost everyone displayed a dumbfounded expression.

“Lianna??”

Greemir’s eyebrows twitched, and his words carried an uncertain, questioning tone.

The reason was simple,

What reflected in Greemir’s eyes at this moment was an incredibly chaotic scene.

The table, which should have been neat, had become a battlefield, with plates piled like mountains and empty utensils scattered across the floor. Food had been carelessly tossed onto the table, with vegetables, meat, and bread crumbs intertwined as if they had endured a merciless storm.

The air was filled with the aroma of food, but more pronounced was a strong greasy smell.

At the center of this chaos was the insensitive person who had been continuously eating during his earlier sentimental speech.

It was a hooded young woman.

The girl was fully concentrated on devouring food. Her hood hung slightly down, covering most of her face. She held a fragrant chicken leg in one hand and forked a piece of steak with the other, her mouth ceaselessly feasting. Her cheeks were stuffed full like a hamster’s, chewing and gulping down food with growling sounds, completely disregarding her surroundings and proper etiquette.

Not only that,

Her sitting posture was exceptionally wild—one foot shamelessly propped on the chair, knee bent at an inelegant angle, as if unrestrained, directly occupying the entire seat in a thoroughly feral manner, seemingly fully immersed in her personal food territory.

…

Even after hearing Greemir’s call, the girl still showed no reaction, maintaining her state as a relentless eating machine. Only when countless gazes converged upon her did she finally react.

Rеаԁ оn ΚаtReаԁіոɡСаfе

Slowly raising her head, the girl who had been eating like a hamster met Greemir’s eyes with a confused expression,

“Whuddya want?” (What do you want?)

Faced with this question, Greemir first froze, then immediately shook his head,

“Nothing, nothing, I’ve mistaken you for someone else.”

After awkwardly apologizing, Greemir numbly turned back to his seat and held his head in his hands with an expression that questioned life itself.

“No, it’s impossible…”

My,

My adorable, beautiful, elegant Lianna,

Couldn’t possibly be this crude,

She always ate elegantly, savoring each bite, how could she devour food so ravenously?

Her posture was always dignified and proper, how could it be so wild?

Impossible,

She couldn’t be Lianna.

I must have been mistaken.

Besides, my dear Lianna has achieved the Divine Departure Realm level of power, and experts of that caliber no longer need to eat food, so how could she possibly come to a restaurant to wolf down meals?

Greemir shook his head, repeatedly denying it to himself.

Most, most importantly?

Her eyes looked at me with such unfamiliarity!

The real Lianna would eagerly call me ‘Brother Greemir’ and throw herself into my arms… she couldn’t be, couldn’t be…

Couldn’t be,

Absolutely couldn’t be…

…

Couldn’t be my ass!!

She IS Lianna!

Finally,

Greemir abandoned his self-denial, after all, his body’s instinctive excited trembling reaction upon seeing Lianna… was unlikely to be wrong.

“My dear Lianna, how did you end up here!”

Greemir exclaimed excitedly.

Meanwhile,

The blue-haired young woman being addressed continued chewing while raising her eyebrow in puzzlement.

“Hmmm??”

…

Indeed, the blue-haired young woman currently enjoying food without restraint in the restaurant was none other than our Terran Malevolence who had just left the Veiled Domain.

Reαd οn KаtRеаⅾіոɡCafе

After learning from Serveiling that Ailiya and the others needed more nourishment, Bai Lianyue had eagerly rushed out of the Veiled Domain to procure some nutritious food.

After all,

Although food could be found in the Forsaken Metropolis, most of it consisted of old canned goods with no nutritional value.

After happily collecting some food and preparing to leave, Bai Lianyue’s attention was drawn to this restaurant, or more precisely, to the aroma of food wafting from inside.

In truth, Bai Lianyue was quite fond of good food. During her human days, she had often taken Xing Wu to sample various delicacies; enjoying fine cuisine was one of Bai Lianyue’s everyday pleasures.

However, after her body had transformed into that monstrous form, Bai Lianyue had lost her sense of taste, unable to taste anything she ate.

Now, after a thousand years, having finally regained a human body… Bai Lianyue, with her restored sense of taste, wanted to sample contemporary cuisine after such a long time.

Well, eating a little before going back shouldn’t be a problem~

With this thought, the food-craving Bai Lianyue had entered this restaurant and had been eating until now.

As for her eating posture?

Having initially arrived in this world following mercenaries, traveling far and wide with a group of rough men, eating wherever they could, Bai Lianyue’s dining manners were perhaps not very elegant. Although Xing Wu had constantly criticized this aspect of her, the Terran Malevolence had always acknowledged her fault while continuing the behavior.

As for whether eating like this might be embarrassing?

Bai Lianyue didn’t particularly care.

Heaven is vast, earth is vast, but eating comes first~

…

—

Truthfully, at first, when Greemir exclaimed in surprise, Bai Lianyue hadn’t realized what was happening, as the name ‘Lianna’ was still too unfamiliar to her; she had no idea Greemir was calling her.

Only when sharp gazes from nearby people converged on her did Bai Lianyue emerge from her feasting mode.

Oh?

Come to think of it,

Lianna-Anloxi.

That seems to be the name of the body I’m currently occupying? Have I encountered an ‘acquaintance’ of the body’s owner?

What a coincidence?

Wow~

Looking at the excited golden-haired man standing before her, feeling his enthusiastic gaze, Bai Lianyue’s eyebrows twitched a few times. At the same time, the Terran Malevolence felt confused.

Strange, I’ve concealed my aura and was wearing the mask I just obtained, how did he recognize me?

Rеaԁ oո КαtReαⅾіոɡСаfе

Hmm?

Wait, speaking of which, where is my mask?

Touching her smooth face, Bai Lianyue raised her eyebrow in puzzlement. She glanced at the dining table, trying to find her mask. In fact, Bai Lianyue did spot her mask… except only half of it remained… the smooth, clear teeth marks on the remaining mask seemed to tell the story of what had just happened to it.

Uh,

Looks like I accidentally ate half the mask, how embarrassing…

Bai Lianyue somewhat foolishly scratched her head. After becoming the Terran Malevolence, her initial confusion when eating things was apparently something she still couldn’t overcome well.

However, Bai Lianyue was no longer concerned about the mask. Because, with her keen perception, she couldn’t help but notice the gazes of people nearby and the expanding sensing spiritual energy, even feeling their current emotions.

Admiration, respect, delight, envy… and hatred.

Large numbers of people were rushing toward her location;

Covenant soldiers were activating communication devices; some people were secretly drawing weapons from their backpacks;

…

Upon detecting the situation around her, Bai Lianyue’s eyes narrowed slightly.

Staying here any longer would likely bring quite a bit of trouble.

Although she was reluctant to use her power, it seemed there was no choice now?

After swallowing the last bite of food, a barely perceptible streak of ice-blue light leaked from Bai Lianyue’s palm, and the cursed energy suppressed within her body gradually began to release.

Knock all these people unconscious, then leave.

This was Bai Lianyue’s current plan.

However,

The Terran Malevolence’s plan seemed to fall behind the changing situation.

Because just as Bai Lianyue was about to act, Greemir, who stood before her, moved first.

The golden-haired man’s pupils suddenly contracted, and a ruthless expression and pure white light burst forth from his eyes.

Reaԁ oո КаtRеaԁіnɡСаfe

“Spirit Binding Divine Surge.”

As soon as the words fell,

Powerful light-attribute spiritual energy symbolizing the peak of the Divine Martial Realm erupted from Greemir like a broken dam, rapidly and violently surging outward like lightning. The dazzling white light slashed through the darkness like a thunderbolt, everything in its path shaken by the intense energy fluctuations.

The light was brilliantly dazzling, and scorching air currents swept through. Everyone in the restaurant couldn’t react in time; they only felt a blinding white light before losing consciousness. Even the plates and chairs were shattered by the shock, with food and drinks spilling across the floor…

The atmosphere, which had become increasingly excited due to Bai Lianyue’s identity being exposed, was instantly returned to a state of deathly silence.

Not only that,

The white shockwave spread outward exaggeratedly, directly enveloping this small town of several hundred people.

As the white light gradually dissipated, only silence remained in the surroundings. Whether they were customers originally sitting at tables, Greemir’s own subordinates, or people from town who had been rushing toward the restaurant, without exception, all had fallen unconscious under this powerful impact.

“Uh…”

Looking around at the devastated hall, Bai Lianyue blinked in confusion.

Bro,

What are you doing?

Bai Lianyue was puzzled.

But before the Terran Malevolence could figure out the situation, Greemir, having confirmed no one was watching, immediately rushed before Bai Lianyue, and without a word, directly grasped her left hand with both of his hands, holding that greasy little hand…

Bai Lianyue: Uh…

And in an extremely concerned voice asked:

“Now that no one’s around, my dear Lianna, you don’t need to hide anymore. Tell me, why did you suddenly leave, why did you suddenly do this? Was it because of that bastard Luo Fei? Or… your father, is he forcing you to do something again…”

Bai Lianyue: Meow??
