Volume 5, Chapter 29 – Quick! Address the Honored Ancestor!

“I’ll handle this matter.”

After hearing this voice that was like heavenly music, all the Bai family members turned their attention to the beautiful young woman wearing a red cheongsam with side slits and black stockings.

The newcomer was none other than our Miss Ailiya.

The next moment, the Bai family members respectfully bowed their heads.

“Honored Ancestor.”

At these words, Bai Xingwu, who had been looking pitiful and on the verge of tears, was momentarily stunned.

“Hmm? Ancestor?”

However, the person with the strongest reaction was clearly not Bai Xingwu, but Bai Bin, whose actions had been halted.

“Honored Ancestor! This isn’t quite appropriate, is it?”

Obviously, Bai Bin didn’t quite agree with Ailiya’s proposal.

“You don’t know Xingwu, so you might not be suitable to distinguish whether she’s real or fake, right? Besides, this is a minor matter between juniors, there’s no need to trouble you.”

In response, the silver-haired girl smiled indifferently:

“The younger generation is crucial to the entire family’s future, hardly a small matter. True, I don’t know Bai Xingwu, but that doesn’t affect my ability to determine authenticity. The Feng family’s corpse puppets contain special soul beads that can be detected with strong spiritual perception. And in the entire Bai family, is there anyone with stronger perception than mine?”

“This, this…”

Confronted with Ailiya’s reasoning, Bai Bin was momentarily speechless, not knowing how to respond.

While Bai Bin remained silent, Ailiya walked past him and approached the black-haired girl, with the Bai family members tactfully making way for her.

Stopping in her tracks, the silver-haired girl smiled at the timid girl before her.

“You’re Bai Xingwu, right?”

Meanwhile, being asked this question, Bai Xingwu stood frozen in place, staring at the silver-haired girl before her with disbelief.

Eh??!!

Rеаԁ on KatRеαԁіոɡСаfe

Ai, Ai, Ailiya?!

Bai Xingwu’s heart let out an astonished roar.

Without a doubt, this treasured daughter of the Bai family who had been lost and recovered was not the real Bai Xingwu, but rather Bai Lianyue in disguise.

To infiltrate the Bai family and draw out the true culprits who had murdered her daughter and herself years ago, Bai Lianyue had decided to take on Xingwu’s appearance to provoke a reaction.

To create a perfect disguise, the evil god lady had been running all over the place during this time.

All to find blood samples that Xingwu had donated in the past.

Xingwu had been a kind child, and had donated blood several times on Earth… though possibly also because it was required by her school for credits.

With the help of the White Horizon Sword and Bai Chengwu, Bai Lianyue had indeed successfully located those blood samples.

Using the blood for simulation, she had created her current appearance.

However, since Xingwu had been only eighteen when she donated blood, the appearance Bai Lianyue simulated was also around eighteen years old.

This was what made the Bai family members suspicious.

As for the issue of looking too young… well, honestly…

The evil god lady hadn’t considered that~

(Bai Lianyue: Hehe~)

Well, although the evil god lady had forgotten about this point, she had more or less considered other factors.

But…

Ailiya’s presence here was something Bai Lianyue had never anticipated.

Why was Ailiya here?!

And moreover, she had become the Honored Ancestor?!

Rеаԁ oո КatReаⅾіոɡСafе

What exactly had happened in the Bai family recently?!

That guy Bai Chengwu hadn’t told her about any of this?!

The confused evil god lady hurriedly cast a bewildered questioning gaze toward Bai Chengwu in the distance.

—”Did you deliberately leave out some information?!!”—

Though she didn’t speak, Bai Lianyue’s eyes clearly conveyed this message to Bai Chengwu.

Being glared at like this, Bai Chengwu’s body trembled, and he hurriedly shook his head honestly, indicating that he too knew nothing about this.

Seeing this, Bai Lianyue could only smile awkwardly and turn her gaze toward the silver-haired girl who had already approached her, wearing a charming smile.

“Um, you, he-hello?”

Bai Lianyue awkwardly waved her hand.

However, before Ailiya could react, the Grand Elder Bai Qian, standing nearby, patted Bai Lianyue’s shoulder with slight displeasure.

“Xingwu, don’t be disrespectful. What’s with this ‘you’? Call her ‘Honored Ancestor’!”

In Bai Qian’s eyes, although Xingwu was somewhat suspicious, this elder didn’t believe she was a Feng family corpse puppet.

Since she was a descendant of the Bai family, she naturally couldn’t casually address the Honored Ancestor.

Being told this by Bai Qian and feeling his serious gaze, Bai Lianyue was momentarily stunned.

Call, call Ailiya ‘Honored Ancestor’??!

This, this is absurd, isn’t it?!!

The evil god lady instantly had a million curses running through her mind.

Calling her own daughter an ancestor would obviously mess up the generational hierarchy, wouldn’t it?!

No way, no way!!

At this moment, the evil god lady’s heart was filled with resistance.

At the same time, Bai Lianyue cast a hopeful glance at Ailiya, hoping she would reject Bai Qian’s request. After all, in Bai Lianyue’s memory, Ailiya wouldn’t like this kind of address, right?

Girls probably wouldn’t like being made to sound old, would they?

However, faced with Bai Lianyue’s pitiful gaze, Ailiya remained unmoved, silently watching the evil god lady.

Um, why isn’t Ailiya saying anything?!!

—”Xingwu, what’s wrong? Quickly address the ‘Honored Ancestor’!”—

Ailiya didn’t speak, but Bai Qian continued to urge from the side.

Being urged like this, Bai Lianyue felt extremely conflicted.

After observing Ailiya’s completely calm expression, the evil god lady slightly raised an eyebrow.

Hmm, come to think of it, maybe Ailiya hasn’t recognized me?

Well, that makes sense. I’ve disguised myself so perfectly, it’s normal that Ailiya wouldn’t recognize me.

Under these circumstances, calling her ‘Honored Ancestor’?

That shouldn’t be a big problem, right?

After some self-consolation, Bai Lianyue forcibly suppressed her inner resistance and unwillingness, lowering her head and muttering softly.

“Honored Ancestor…”

“Hehe, good girl~”

After hearing this address, the corners of Ailiya’s mouth imperceptibly raised in a meaningful smile, and she reached out to pat Bai Lianyue’s head.

“What an adorable child.”

“Hmm?”

Reаⅾ οո КatRеaⅾіnɡCαfе

Seeming to sense something, the evil god lady suddenly looked up.

But at this moment, what Bai Lianyue saw was still Ailiya’s normal smiling face, with no special expression?

Hmm, was it just my imagination?

Also, why does she keep patting my head???? So presumptuous!!

……

Meanwhile, seemingly aware of the puzzled gazes from the surrounding Bai family members, after continuing to pat the black-haired girl’s head, Ailiya contentedly withdrew her hand and placed it by her mouth.

“Ahem… anyway… I’ll take this child with me. I’ll handle the verification myself.”

Hearing this, the vast majority of the Bai family members nodded in agreement.

Except for one person…

Seeing his plan being thwarted, Bai Bin naturally couldn’t hold back.

“Honored Ancestor! This, this isn’t…”

However, before he could finish speaking, Ailiya’s cold gaze directly focused on Bai Bin.

—”What, do you have an objection?”—

Her voice was melodious, yet extremely cold.

Though she hadn’t released her spiritual power, her presence was still intimidating.

A chilling aura surged toward Bai Bin like a tidal wave, making his spine go cold.

His whole body trembled as he lowered his head, not daring to say another word.

“No, I wouldn’t dare…”
