Volume 6, Chapter 41 – The Infiltration… Doesn’t Seem to Be Going Very Smoothly

Just as Sophia lifted the baby into her arms,

High atop Clavino’s city wall tower, cold wind whipped snowflakes through the air as a green-haired young man with glasses leaned against the battlement. His crimson eyes were locked dead-on at the black hover car driving away on the distant road, the scene of Sophia picking up the small baby captured completely in his view.

His eyes narrowed slightly. After a brief moment of astonishment, the corners of Renoval’s mouth slowly curved into a strange and greedy arc as he murmured in a low voice: “That child… that aura fluctuation? Could it be… Master’s…”

Renoval licked the corner of his lips. His figure flashed, transforming into a green shadow that vanished into the tower’s darkness.

——”To think there’d be an unexpected harvest. How delightful~”——

At the same time, inside the First Military Base on the outskirts of Clavino.

Several fully armed soldiers were saluting a blond man ahead of them.

“Lord Greemir!”

“Mm.”

Greemir nodded impassively in response. Then he proceeded to lead the figure in women’s military uniform beside him through the checkpoint at a measured pace.

This figure was naturally our evil god young lady. To successfully infiltrate without causing a disturbance, Miss Bai Lianyue had changed into a form-fitting dark gray military uniform. Her emerald and silver gradient long hair was neatly coiled and hidden under a beret, her dark red eyes concealed behind a pair of ordinary black-framed glasses, giving her more of a civilian personnel’s competence and less of an evil god’s overwhelming presence.

“Remember, you’re my new secretary, called ‘Bai Yue.’ Say little, just follow me.”

Greemir lowered his voice in warning while showing his Celestial Augur Knight pass and nodding to the patrol guards.

Considering Greemir’s status, although the guards didn’t recognize Bai Lianyue, they didn’t ask many questions and let them through.

The military base’s interior had strict security. Every ten meters along the roads stood soldiers armed with firearms. From the distant training ground came orderly shouts, and the air was filled with a mixture of spiritual power and metallic scents.

An oppressive atmosphere permeated the area.

However, the evil god young lady didn’t care about this atmosphere at all. Though she followed behind Greemir, her eyes wandered uncontrollably in all directions. Through her lenses, those dark red eyes took in everything nearby.

The evil god young lady seemed to be observing and recording.

But they hadn’t walked far when a rich aroma of food suddenly drifted over, like an invisible hook, instantly capturing her attention.

“Hm? This smell… so fragrant…” Bai Lianyue stopped in her tracks, her nose twitching lightly as she looked toward the source of the aroma—at the cafeteria entrance not far away, soldiers were shuttling back and forth carrying trays. Sausages on the trays sizzled with oil, and steam from stewed dishes carried the scent of spices, making one’s (a certain Miss Bai’s) mouth water involuntarily.

“Hm?”

Sensing the person behind him had stopped, Greemir frowned.

However, just as he turned around to hurry her along, he saw that Bai Lianyue had already started walking, heading straight for the cafeteria at a speed that caught him completely off guard.

“Hey! Where are you going?! Come back! Hey!!”

Greemir hurried to catch up, lowering his voice to try to dissuade her, but Bai Lianyue didn’t listen at all. Her eyes now held nothing but the dazzling array of delicious food.

At this moment,

Because the army had just finished evening training,

The cafeteria was bustling with noise. Hundreds of soldiers were queuing for food, their conversations and the clatter of utensils interweaving. As soon as Bai Lianyue entered, she walked straight to the food service area. Ignoring the long queue, she grabbed the largest tray and began frantically loading it with food: sausages, stewed meat, fried potatoes, roasted chicken legs, vegetable salad—she even grabbed three large breads and two boxes of milk. The tray piled up like a small mountain.

The surrounding soldiers were all stunned, stopping what they were doing to curiously examine this unfamiliar civilian woman.

“Who is that? Can she really eat that much?”

“She looks pretty thin, who’d have thought she had such an appetite?”

“She’s someone Lord Greemir brought. A subordinate official of the Celestial Augur Knight, maybe?”

For a moment, discussions rose one after another. Greemir’s face had turned nearly black—his head was pounding.

At this moment, he suddenly recalled something Luo Fei had told him earlier.

The Terran Malevolence is very powerful… but in aspects other than combat, she’s often unreliable.

For example…

——”Due to instinct… she’s rather… gluttonous?”——

Luo Fei’s words quietly echoed in Greemir’s ears.

Gluttonous?? Gluttonous at a time like this?!

This is insane!!

Damn,

Did he make a wrong decision by trusting this thing??

Sigh,

Forget it, too late for regrets now!

While Greemir was roaring inwardly, Bai Lianyue found an empty table and sat down. Completely unconcerned with the surrounding gazes, she picked up a sausage and began chomping on it. Oil dripped down the corner of her mouth, but she paid no mind, even casually grabbing the milk to take a big gulp. She ate at lightning speed, as if she’d been starving for ages. Sausages, stewed meat, bread—all continuously stuffed into her mouth. In just a few minutes, more than half the food on the tray was gone, equivalent to several soldiers’ dinner portions…

“Haah…”

Greemir walked over helplessly, leaned close to Bai Lianyue, and said through gritted teeth in a low voice:

“Can you show some restraint? We came here to infiltrate, not to mooch food!”

Her mouth stuffed full, Bai Lianyue said indistinctly: “Oh… right, I forgot…”

“I… XXX!!”

“Hehe~”

“Good heavens…”

Greemir looked at her like this and could only continue sighing helplessly.

But no matter what, her eating so heartily was far too eye-catching. He had to get this foolish evil god out of here quickly!

However, before Greemir could speak, Bai Lianyue’s eyes suddenly focused. Beneath her sunglasses, the dark red eyes instantly lost their dopey look and flashed with sharpness.

The next instant,

Before Greemir could react, as Bai Lianyue stuffed bread into her mouth, she suddenly lifted her foot and kicked Greemir square in the chest.

“Eh?!”

Rеαԁ οո КаtRеаⅾingСafе

——”BOOM!!”——

With a tremendous crash, completely unprepared, Greemir was sent flying by this sudden kick, crashing heavily onto the cafeteria floor and cracking it beneath him. The shock to his chest made him grimace in pain…

What the hell?!

This is crazy!!

Even if she’s gluttonous, it wouldn’t be this extreme, right?! Getting hit just for trying to stop her?!!

Displeased emotions suddenly overflowed in Greemir’s mind.

However,

Just as the current Celestial Augur Knight was about to curse, he saw that where he’d been standing, there was now somehow a long spear radiating silver spiritual power, its tip driven deep into the floor, kicking up a cloud of dust.

Powerful spiritual power fluctuations spread outward from the spear as their center.

Seeing this, Greemir couldn’t help but gasp, because if that strike had hit him… even if he didn’t die, he’d probably be half-dead.

In an instant,

The cafeteria’s clamor stopped immediately. All the soldiers were stunned, looking toward where the spear had fallen. They could see that at this moment, a man wearing exquisite silver armor stood steadily on the spear tip. His black hair danced as terrifying spiritual power continuously overflowed from his clenched fists, and his eyes emanated piercing killing intent.

A surging aura immediately spread outward from around the man—Xi Xuan—as his gaze locked deadly onto Bai Lianyue. His silver-gray eyes were full of wariness and hostility. Leaping down from the spear, his sharp gaze fixed on Bai Lianyue.

“You dare infiltrate our nation’s military stronghold—you’re courting death!!”
