Volume 5, Chapter 25 – Language Abilities Granted by the Divine Monument, and a Certain Improper Former Room Owner

Where exactly had the Abyssal Lord Polarvitan ended up?

Ailiya had no idea.

Forget the Abyssal Lord—she was equally clueless about where Lianyue, the Celestial Blight, and the House Solrog family members who had come to this world might be.

In other words, Ailiya was completely bewildered about this world.

Due to the language barrier, Ailiya felt unfamiliar with everything around her. At this moment, the silver-haired girl somewhat regretted not learning more about this world from Lianyue back when they were in The Veiled Domain or Wishaven.

Indeed, Lianyue had been reluctant to talk about this world, seemingly because she didn’t have any pleasant memories of it.

But if she had wanted to make Lianyue honestly explain? Ailiya had plenty of methods… if nothing else, bribing her with some delicious food would have solved it in minutes.

“Sigh, what regret…”

Glancing at the numerous books filled with unknown characters on the bookshelf behind her, Ailiya couldn’t help but sigh.

Not recognizing the written language meant she naturally couldn’t learn about this world from books or other news sources.

For a moment, Ailiya seemed to fall into an awkward state of not knowing what to do.

However, just as Ailiya was feeling conflicted, the room door was suddenly knocked upon.

——”Knock, knock~”——

“Hm?”

Someone bringing clothes?

Guided by curiosity, Ailiya walked to the door and slowly opened the wooden door. However, the silver-haired girl immediately froze in place, her emotions shifting from initial puzzlement to bewilderment.

Because at this moment, what appeared outside the door wasn’t the clothing-bearing maid Ailiya had imagined.

But rather a stone tablet carved with numerous unknown golden characters, floating in mid-air??

“What, what’s going on? Hm? This stone tablet… is the one from earlier…”

Thinking about it carefully, when she had first arrived in this world, this stone tablet had floated beside her for quite a while.

It seemed quite affectionate toward her?

If that little boy hadn’t led it away, this stone tablet probably would have followed her back to the room earlier.

And now? It had actually come to find her on its own?

And so politely knocked on the door?

“Could it be… sentient?”

Ailiya muttered this speculation to herself.

The next moment, as if to verify Ailiya’s guess, gentle energy ripples emanated from the stone tablet.

Slowly drawing the surrounding air toward itself~

In this instant, Ailiya felt as if her right hand was being guided by a special gravitational force, gradually rising and continuously approaching the stone tablet.

Hm?

Did it want her to touch it?

Ailiya judged thus.

The stone tablet’s gravitational pull wasn’t strong—even with Ailiya’s strength far from recovered, she could easily break free.

However, the silver-haired girl didn’t plan to resist, but instead followed the stone tablet’s intention and actively extended her hand.

The moment Ailiya’s fingertip touched the stone tablet, a powerful soul impact suddenly spread out from within the tablet, directly rushing through Ailiya’s fingertip into her body, into her brain, causing the silver-haired girl’s pupils to suddenly contract.

?!

Hm? What was this?

…

After a moment, the soul power emanating from the stone tablet gradually dissipated, and Ailiya withdrew her hand. Then, Ailiya tremblingly raised her hand to press her temple, her cherry-colored pupils filled with astonishment.

“Just now, that was… inheritance?? Those characters, that language?”

On the other side, seemingly understanding Ailiya’s meaning, the stone tablet bobbed up and down, as if affirming Ailiya’s self-reflection.

“…”

The next moment, Ailiya said no more but quickly walked to the bookshelf, casually picking up a book and beginning to flip through it.

“Indeed… I can read it now.”

These characters that had previously seemed like hieroglyphics could now be smoothly understood by Ailiya.

Obviously, the characters the stone tablet had just transmitted into Ailiya’s mind were this world’s language.

This was the Chinese that Lianyue had mentioned before?

“You… why did you give me this language and writing?”

Gazing at the stone tablet, Ailiya asked in confusion.

Unfortunately, the stone tablet didn’t seem very good at communication. Faced with Ailiya’s question, it just kept floating in place, swaying left and right, seeming quite happy? This left Ailiya feeling increasingly bewildered.

Just as Ailiya was pondering this, a pleasant female voice carrying slight nervousness quietly reached her ears.

——”Honored Ancestor, um… I saw the door wasn’t closed, so I came in.”——

“…”

Following the voice, Ailiya turned to look behind her.

At this moment, a girl holding a large stack of clothes, wearing a high ponytail, and looking nervous was timidly standing in the doorway.

Upon meeting Ailiya’s gaze, the girl immediately bowed respectfully.

“Hello, Honored Ancestor! I’m called Bai Lin. Great-grandfather arranged for me to serve you! These are clothes the family prepared for you. Since we weren’t sure what style you prefer… we prepared some of everything.”

Looking at this nervous girl, Ailiya quickly softened her serious expression and showed the charming smile characteristic of a Divine-Graced Maiden.

“Thank you, just put them on that sofa.”

Just as the words left her mouth, Ailiya frowned.

The reason was simple—this Chinese, she spoke it too fluently.

Ailiya wasn’t unfamiliar with inheritances.

But with such inheritances, after completion, the recipient usually needed time to get used to and adapt to them.

However, she had just spoken so fluently?

It didn’t seem like knowledge newly integrated into her mind, but rather like… she had known it before?

Like she had suddenly remembered it?

Strange…

Ailiya felt increasingly confused.

“Is something wrong, Honored Ancestor?” Bai Lin nearby asked with concern.

“Nothing, just thinking about something. Thank you for your concern.”

With that, Ailiya gently reached out and patted the girl’s head.

Being patted like this, Bai Lin shyly lowered her head like a little rabbit.

The Honored Ancestor isn’t as scary as when she was first summoned. She seems quite easy to get along with…

Faced with the gentle Ailiya, the nervous emotions in Bai Lin’s heart were successfully dissolved.

Then, the ponytailed girl obediently carried the clothes toward the sofa.

Meanwhile, Ailiya took this opportunity to continue browsing the books on the shelf.

Although the process of gaining knowledge had been somewhat inexplicable, now that she understood this world’s writing, Ailiya planned to use it as a bridge to quickly learn about this world.

However, she hadn’t been reading long when Bai Lin’s exclamation caused the silver-haired girl to raise an eyebrow.

——”Wait, I just remembered—this room… Great-grandfather actually arranged this room for the Honored Ancestor?”——

Although it was a quiet mutter to herself, with Ailiya’s extraordinary senses, she naturally had no trouble hearing these words.

So, Ailiya, who was reading, looked at Bai Lin with some puzzlement:

“What’s special about this room?”

“Ah?”

After a panicked pause, Bai Lin hurriedly replied respectfully:

“Well, this room’s owner was rather special—it was Great-grandfather’s once most beloved granddaughter… Miss Bai Nuoyu’s room. It seems to have been sealed for over ten years. I never expected you’d be allowed to stay here today.”

“Oh, I see.”

Ailiya nodded with an understanding expression.

While nodding, the silver-haired girl playfully raised an eyebrow and turned back to quietly mutter to herself.

——”However, it seems this young lady… hehe~”——

With a teasing smile, Ailiya thoughtfully directed her gaze toward the nearby bookshelf, toward the hidden compartment she had just discovered in that bookshelf, and the series of rather strange books within that compartment.

Some books whose titles weren’t very proper.

“How to Tame a Man.” “What to Do When Your Partner Has Low EQ?” “How to Make Him Obsessed with You~” “One Hundred Seductive Poses” “Methods for Preparing ***” “Aggressive Seduction (Female Edition)” …

Hmm, somehow she got the feeling that this room’s former owner was somewhat… improper…

Ailiya couldn’t help but judge thus in her heart.

NO-no no no no… if she is who we think she is then…. Bai Xingwu did not just molest her own mother 100s of chapters back
