Volume 6, Chapter 23 – The Terrabond Lineage’s Next Step

In the Lingyuan family’s conference room,

A girl in military uniform sat on one side of the long table, looking particularly valiant and heroic. Her black short hair was neatly tucked behind her ears, and her red eyes held a certain composed patience as her fingertips lightly rested on the table’s edge. She was reading the contents displayed on the tablet in her hand while quietly waiting.

Before long,

The conference room door opened quietly, and a breathtakingly beautiful elf girl entered the conference room carrying the alluring fragrance of lily-of-the-valley—it was Miss Bai Lianyue, who had just finished dealing with Ailiya and Xing Wu.

Seeing Bai Lianyue’s arrival, the black-haired girl—that is, Yelena—immediately set down her tablet and respectfully stood up, waving at Bai Lianyue.

“Big Sister, you’re here.”

Her tone carried the familiar intimacy and respect of a subordinate toward their leader.

“Yelena, it’s been a while.”

The evil god miss responded with a smile.

“Yes, about several months now.”

While responding politely, this Black Witch’s gaze quickly fell on the little baby in Bai Lianyue’s arms. Her red eyes immediately softened a bit as she reached out to gently touch Xing Wu’s chubby little hand:

“What an adorable little one, no wonder Big Sister takes her everywhere.”

Of course,

Even while saying “adorable,” Yelena couldn’t help but twitch her eyebrows slightly. After all, as the main person responsible for the delivery, Yelena still couldn’t completely forget those scenes of Xing Wu actively crawling out.

Simply demonic.

And regarding Yelena’s words, the elf girl could only smile helplessly, holding Xing Wu as she sat down in a nearby seat, her other hand still having to gently pat the little one’s back:

“No choice. Earlier I had just changed clothes and was ready to go out when she grabbed my collar and cried. No matter how I tried to comfort her, it didn’t work.”

As she spoke, Bai Lianyue pinched Xing Wu’s little face. The little one was staring at Yelena with purple eyes, but her little claws didn’t loosen in the slightest, and even her babbling sounds carried the vigilance of “don’t separate us.”

While making noise, the little baby also looked around left and right, as if she was being wary of something.

Xing Wu knew perfectly well—although that Ailiya woman had been lectured by the stinky old mom and was currently “reflecting” in her room, that woman was full of schemes. Who knew when she might sneak over to find the stinky old mom again?

She had to stay on guard.

But since her infant body couldn’t speak, Xing Wu could only use “being clingy” as an excuse to keep watch.

“Oh?”

Seeing Xing Wu like this, Yelena seemed to guess something as well, a hint of amusement flashing in her eyes.

Then, this Black Witch took out a small blanket embroidered with lily-of-the-valley patterns from her briefcase, gently spread it beside Bai Lianyue’s legs, and showed Xing Wu a kind smile.

“I had someone specially weave this. It’s soft, and if the little miss wants to sleep, spreading it on your lap would be convenient. Also, Big Sister, you won’t have to keep holding her.”

“Babble babble?”

Xing Wu seemed quite pleased with the blanket’s texture, her little feet lightly rubbing against it, and then she sat on the small blanket, finally no longer fussing about grabbing Bai Lianyue’s collar.

This freed Bai Lianyue’s neck somewhat, allowing her to settle down and chat with Yelena properly.

After a few routine greetings,

Yelena put away her gentle expression, her dark red eyes narrowing slightly as a trace of seriousness emerged:

“Big Sister, you don’t need to worry about the baby formula. We’ll find a way to solve that later. Now though, shouldn’t we talk about some serious business?”

“Serious business?”

Silently repeating this term, Bai Lianyue’s small hand that had been interacting with Xing Wu quietly stopped in mid-air.

That’s right,

This child Yelena wouldn’t specifically call me here just to chat about daily life.

“Got it, go ahead.”

Though I’d also quite like this child to specifically call me over just to chat about daily life and relax a bit. Being so tense all the time isn’t good for her health.

The evil god miss muttered inwardly.

“Mm.”

Seeing Big Sister agree, Yelena directly activated the holographic projection facility on the desktop, and a map of Yao Xing’s current territorial divisions appeared prominently. Yelena then pointed to the center of the map, which was the location of the Divine Kingdom.

“House Solrog had been hiding in the Divine Kingdom all along. Because of the barrier’s interference, we hadn’t been able to move against them before. But after Big Sister destroyed the Nether Palace last time, the barrier disappeared as well. So during this period, we conducted a major cleanup of the Divine Kingdom’s interior and eliminated all of House Solrog’s remaining forces.”

“Did it go smoothly?”

“Yes. House Solrog’s main forces were all eliminated by Big Sister, and what remained were just small fry. Zhouyu alone basically cleaned them all up.”

“That’s good then.”

“Next, what we need to do is also quite obvious.”

As she spoke, Yelena operated the equipment, and two areas on the map lit up prominently—precisely the “Cinderfloat Isle” and “Sea of Grieving Death,” which were the territories of the Celestial Blight and the Terran Malevolence.

The Terrabond Lineage’s ultimate goals were twofold: first, to eliminate House Solrog. Since this goal had already been achieved, they now had only one final objective left—to eliminate all Corrupted Beasts and free Yao Xing from corruption’s control, returning it to an era of peace.

“The Vassals of Sky and Vassals of Sea—it’s time to officially move against them.”

Hearing this,

Bai Lianyue silently looked toward these two areas on the map, then slowly raised her hand, her fingertip landing on the “Vassals of Sky” marker as her expression grew heavy:

“Ulutiel and Polarvitan…”

The moment she mentioned these two names, Bai Lianyue couldn’t help but recall that day on Earth when she had accidentally let the two evil gods escape.

What had been wrong with her at that time?

“Big Sister?”

“Hmm?”

“What’s wrong? You seemed to suddenly space out?”

“Nothing, just thinking about some things… I feel very sorry.”

“Hm? Why should you feel sorry?” Yelena tilted her head, her eyes full of confusion.

“It’s nothing, don’t mind it. Please continue.”

“Big Sister, is there really no problem?”

Yelena, who was skilled at reading people’s expressions, quickly noticed the abnormality in the evil god miss’s demeanor.

To this, Bai Lianyue still shook her head in response.

“Really, it’s fine. Yelena, please continue… From the markers on your map, it seems… those two factions have been quite restless recently?”

“Yes.”

Yelena nodded matter-of-factly.

“A few days ago, the new leadership of the Divine Faith at the Nether Palace ruins was eliminated. Polarvitan was the one who acted.”

“They… really have returned.”

“Mm. After the two evil gods returned, the Vassals of Sky and Sea, who had been quiet for a while, began moving again.”

Yelena’s tone became cold.

“The Dragon Kings of the Vassals of Sky have begun attacking the Covenant’s northern borders and the Kingdom of Qingyun’s frontiers. There have already been more than a dozen conflicts in just these past few days. Polarvitan’s marine Corrupted Beasts have also started harassing the Maretide Kingdom’s coastal areas. Though the current scale of warfare is small and seems more like probing, once they figure out the defensive deployments, they’ll probably launch large-scale attacks. More importantly, the Corrupted Beasts of the Vassals of Sky and Sea, who have always been at odds, haven’t had any conflicts recently. I’m afraid… those two monsters have already joined forces.”

Hearing this, Bai Lianyue’s expression also became grave.

After a moment of silence, the evil god miss asked:

“What do you want to do?”

One-on-one, dealing with either Ulutiel or Polarvitan, Bai Lianyue wasn’t particularly concerned. But if those two joined forces, she would probably have a hard time gaining any advantage.

The same was true for the entire Terrabond Lineage.

Yelena, Serveiling, and the others were strong, but they obviously couldn’t oppose so many vassals and Corrupted Beasts from the Vassals of Sky and Sea.

Yelena was well aware of this.

“As for the two evil gods, I’m not sure how to deal with them for now. But regarding the vassals and Corrupted Beasts of the two factions, we can still handle them. We just need to get the humans on our side.”

“Cooperate with humans??”

The evil god miss’s eyes widened, clearly looking incredulous.

“Those guys all hate us to death, how could they possibly cooperate with us?”

“So we’ll need to use some special methods~”

“What methods?”

“That would be…”

As these words left her mouth, Yelena’s gaze became visibly cold, and murderous intent even emerged in her crimson pupils.

“Use the Salvation Game’s soul contracts to control as many human high-ranking officials as possible… As for those who can’t be controlled and won’t cooperate? We’ll kill them all…”

Bai Lianyue: ??!
