Volume 6, Chapter 36 – Full Speed Ahead, Bai Xing Wu!

At night,

When everything had fallen into slumber, light, cautious movements could be heard near the Lingyuan family kitchen.

Our Miss Ailiya was wearing a pink lace nightgown and fluffy bunny slippers, tiptoeing into the kitchen—as for the Lingyuan family guards outside the kitchen?

Sorry, they’d already been knocked unconscious by Augury Force.

Little Miss Ailiya’s beautiful silver hair cascaded over her shoulders, still disheveled from just waking up, yet her eyes gleamed as if hiding candy, her goal clear: the large refrigerator ahead!! And inside that refrigerator was precisely the milk that Bai Lianyue had specifically stored for Xing Wu.

That’s right,

Our distinguished Divine-Graced Maiden had gotten up in the middle of the night… just to steal milk.

=-=

Sometimes Ailiya really had to admire Lianyue—to ensure Xing Wu always had milk to drink, she’d actually managed to express so much in just two days?

Impressive~

“Hehe, that little troublemaker won’t catch me this time.”

Ailiya made a face at the refrigerator door, her fingertips just touching the cool door handle, her heartbeat quickening. She gently pulled open the refrigerator door, cold air “whooshing” against her face, but the next second, her smile froze on her face.

??!!

The reason was simple.

The refrigerator was empty… emptier than someone’s bank account balance…

The dozens of bottles of milk that had been neatly arranged on the refrigerated shelf—each bottle labeled with “Xing Wu’s Exclusive” little tags, milk that Bai Lianyue personally expressed every morning, cooled, and stored—now not even a bottle bottom remained. Only a few yogurt containers lay lonely in the corner, making the refrigerated shelf seem particularly vacant.

!

“Huh? Where’s my milk?”

Ailiya rubbed her eyes, thinking she wasn’t fully awake yet. She bent down to peer into the refrigerator, even pulling out the drawers to search through them, but still found nothing. Her cherry-colored pupils instantly contracted, and her first thought emerged: it must be that little brat Xing Wu!

That little one now dared to secretly hide milk?!

Ailiya raised her eyebrows, clenched her fists, and immediately ran toward Xing Wu’s nursery. Her slippers made urgent “tap tap” sounds against the floor, not even noticing when her nightgown hem swept against the table corner.

“You brat! Quick! Hand over my milk!” Ailiya pushed open the nursery door, her voice full of righteous indignation.

She was the one trying to steal milk, yet somehow Ailiya had the confidence…

However,

The words had just left her mouth when the silver-haired girl froze.

Because the crib was empty…

???!!

What met Ailiya’s eyes was an empty bed.

The pink little blanket had been pushed to one side, the stuffed bunny toy that had been by the bedside lay askew on the floor, the room was completely quiet—no “yiya” sounds from Xing Wu, no sounds of a baby rolling over. Moonlight filtered through the curtain gaps, falling on the empty bed, making it seem especially desolate.

“Little troublemaker? Where, where is she?”

Ailiya’s aggressive expression vanished, her voice weakening as the fire in her heart was instantly replaced by unease.

She quickly walked to the crib, reached out to feel the mattress, then suddenly flipped it over.

Then,

Ailiya opened the nearby cabinet, looked under the sofa… quickly searching through the entire room. She even spread out her spiritual power to sense.

Unfortunately,

She still couldn’t find any trace of Xing Wu.

—”Within the Lingyuan family estate, there’s no trace of that child’s aura?”—

Could she have been taken away by someone?

At this thought, Ailiya’s heartbeat accelerated sharply.

Although she’d always been at odds with Bai Xing Wu recently, at the end of the day, the other was still her daughter. To say Ailiya didn’t care about Xing Wu? That was impossible…

Her body transforming into silver light, Ailiya couldn’t care less about Yelena’s postpartum recovery advice and rushed out of the nursery,

Running while shouting:

“Lianyue! Lianyue, where are you? Xing Wu is missing!”

However,

When Ailiya rushed to Bai Lianyue’s bedroom, the silver-haired girl froze once again.

The light green apron still hung on the chair back, on the table sat half-eaten cake and half a cup of milk tea, but the owner was nowhere to be found.

“No, no way? Lianyue is missing too?”

Ailiya stopped at the bedroom doorway, her silver hair disheveled, breathing rapidly. Her usual haughty playfulness was completely gone, replaced only by flustered helplessness.

Lianyue, Xing Wu?

Both missing?

What was going on?!

—”Someone! Help!!!”—

For a moment,

With Ailiya’s cries ringing out, the nighttime Lingyuan household once again fell into chaos…

While the Lingyuan household was in complete uproar,

Dozens of kilometers away, on the highway from Wishaven to Clavino, a bright blue sports car was speeding along at breakneck speed. The window was down, the driver a young man with bleached yellow hair, one hand on the steering wheel, the other arm around his girlfriend in the passenger seat, boasting proudly: “See that? This speed! Even a hover car couldn’t go as fast as I drive! On this whole road, nobody can overtake me!”

The charming girl in the passenger seat laughed and patted his shoulder:

“Stop bragging. Watch out or the traffic enforcement squad will catch you!”

“Catch what? There’s no surveillance on this stretch! Besides, right now everyone in Wishaven is guarding against The Veiled Domain and Cinderfloat Isle. What enforcement squad has time to care about such small matters?”

As Yellow Hair spoke, he pressed the gas pedal again. The speedometer needle instantly shot up, roadside trees rapidly retreating backward, wind howling in their ears.

“This speed!! So thrilling hahahaha!!!”

However,

Just as the man was laughing triumphantly, his girlfriend suddenly pointed at the rearview mirror beside them, her eyes wide as saucers, as if seeing something unbelievable:

“Wha-what is that?? Something’s, it’s almost catching up to us!?!”

“Hah?! Honey, don’t be ridiculous. Nobody can catch up to me.”

Yellow Hair said dismissively.

“I’m not being ridiculous!! Look!!”

“Fine, fine.”

After nodding helplessly, Yellow Hair followed his girlfriend’s pointing finger and looked at the rearview mirror.

Reаd οn ΚаtReаdiոɡСαfе

Then, the next second, his entire body stiffened.

??!!

Huh?!

There really is something??

That tiny… what is it?

Staring intently at the rearview mirror, Yellow Hair focused his gaze. After seeing clearly what that little thing was, his eyes contracted.

“WTF?!!!”

At this moment, on the highway’s emergency lane, what was catching up to him wasn’t some other race car, but a baby wearing a pink onesie and carrying a mini backpack.

This adorable little baby, enveloped in purple light, was crawling at an astonishing speed.

That speed was absurdly fast, the alternating frequency of all four limbs like they’d been fitted with a small motor—no… an aerospace engine!!!

Not only was she not being left behind by the sports car, she was getting closer and closer. In the blink of an eye, she crawled right past the sports car, the bunny charm on her little backpack gently swaying with the movement, leaving behind a pink afterimage… and a couple left dumbstruck, questioning their reality.

“Am I, am I seeing things?”

Yellow Hair instinctively hit the brakes. The sports car suddenly decelerated, tires grinding against the pavement with a piercing sound. He rubbed his eyes, and when he looked forward again, the crawling baby had already disappeared around the bend ahead, leaving only faint crawl marks on the emergency lane.

Did I…

Maybe…

Get too drunk???
