Malevolent – Chapter 62 – Can I Make a Wish?

“Huh?”

“Enmm……”

“W-what? Did I… fall asleep?”

“Wait, no!! What about Weiya? How’s Weiya?!”

As the memory of her sister being pierced through the chest resurfaced, little Ailiya, who had been unconscious, suddenly woke up. However, the moment she opened her eyes, she froze again.

“Huh?” Staring at the two round, plump buns in her line of sight, Ailiya blinked in confusion.

But soon, she realized what was happening.

Right now, she was lying on the lap of the Terran Malevolance… and what had caught her eye was Gaia Lobir’s chest, almost completely exposed.

Except…

When she had looked at it from the front earlier, it hadn’t seemed like a big deal! But from this angle… it was a huge problem!

Why wasn’t she wearing a bra?! What kind of outfit was this?!

It was just a piece of cloth draped over her chest!

From this angle, you could see everything!

What kind of perverted outfit is this?!

For a moment, little Ailiya couldn’t help but vent in her mind.

Seemingly sensing Ailiya’s awakening, Bai Lianyue lowered her head and smiled at the silver-haired girl who had just woken up.

“Awake now?”

Hearing this, Ailiya shuddered and quickly moved her head off Bai Lianyue’s lap, sitting up.

“…” Looking at Bai Lianyue’s smiling face and the peacefully sleeping Miya on her other lap, Ailiya couldn’t help but show a complicated expression.

No, now wasn’t the time to think about this.

“How’s Weiya? How’s Weiya doing?!” Ailiya asked anxiously, her cherry-colored eyes filling with worry once more.

Even for those at the Heavenly Martial Realm, losing their core meant certain death, let alone a young girl like Weiya. Although hoping for an evil god to save someone was utterly absurd, Ailiya still held onto a sliver of hope.

Fortunately,

The evil god, feared and hated by all, did not disappoint Ailiya like her family had.

Facing the anxious Ailiya, Bai Lianyue softly reassured her:

“Don’t worry… Weiya is fine now.” Bai Lianyue’s gentle gaze shifted to behind Ailiya.

Following the Terran Malevolence’s gaze, little Ailiya nervously turned around.

Then,

Weiya, enveloped in a dense emerald light, came into Ailiya’s view.

“Weiya!!”

The moment she saw her sister, Ailiya immediately ran toward her.

“Huh? What’s this?”

However, when she tried to reach Weiya, Ailiya was startled to find that a barrier of emerald energy stood between her and her sister.

“Your sister is fine now, but her vitality is still weak. That barrier is helping her heal. For now, it’s best not to disturb Weiya,” Bai Lianyue explained softly.

“Is that so?” Ailiya murmured quietly.

Although human society always defined evil gods as symbols of deceit and lies, Ailiya didn’t doubt Bai Lianyue’s words at all.

After all, Ailiya could feel that Weiya’s condition had genuinely improved.

Her chest was rising and falling normally.

Her little face was no longer as pale as before, gradually regaining its color.

More importantly, Weiya’s face showed no signs of pain. She was curled up comfortably and peacefully within the emerald light cocoon.

Seeing her sister out of danger and sleeping soundly, Ailiya’s heart finally settled.

The intense anxiety she had felt earlier dissipated in an instant.

“That’s great, really, that’s great.” The girl weakly knelt on the ground, overwhelmed with emotion.

As she spoke, the corners of the silver-haired girl’s eyes moistened again, tears streaming down her face one after another.

Of course,

These weren’t tears of sorrow and despair like before, but tears of joy and relief.

“Huh? Why… are you crying?” Hearing Ailiya’s sobs,

Bai Lianyue instinctively felt a wave of panic.

Huh?

Didn’t I already heal the child? Why is she still crying?

“Are you… okay?” Bai Lianyue asked with concern.

Hearing these words, little Ailiya, still sniffling, slowly turned her head to look at the evil god who resembled her mother.

“I’m fine…” Feeling the concern in the other’s expression, Ailiya bit her lip, her emotions in turmoil, and quickly averted her gaze.

Why does she look at me so tenderly, even though she’s an evil god, the one who killed my mother?

Ailiya couldn’t understand the being before her, couldn’t comprehend what this universally feared evil god was thinking.

But no matter how confused she was,

Ailiya couldn’t deny the facts.

She had saved her and her sister.

Without her, the sisters would have either been killed by Hain for their cores or tortured to death by the Thousand-Faced Bird and turned into that monster’s collection.

Deep down, Ailiya hated the evil god for killing her mother.

But when she thought about it, if the evil god hadn’t killed her mother back then… she and her sisters would have been turned into a pool of blood by a single whip.

And if Gaia Lobir hadn’t intervened, she would have… lost Weiya forever.

Should I thank her?

Thank an evil god?

“Huh? What’s… what’s wrong now?”

On the other hand, seeing the conflicted, almost gritting expression on little Ailiya’s face, Bai Lianyue felt like crying.

Didn’t I already save Weiya?

Why does this child still look like she wants to kill me?

Did I do something wrong?

Kids are so hard to understand…

But just as Bai Lianyue was utterly baffled by Ailiya’s behavior, a soft, hesitant voice quietly reached her ears, causing her to shudder.

—”Th-thank you…”—

??

Huh?

The moment these words entered her ears, Bai Lianyue’s mind went blank, and she stared at Ailiya in shock.

Did I just… hallucinate?

“Child… what did you just say?” Bai Lianyue blinked, unable to believe what she had heard.

“I said, thank you.”

Ailiya pouted, speaking awkwardly:

“Thank you… for saving us…”

Master Boloni had said that as a good child, one must repay kindness. If someone helps you, you must thank them… even if they’re an evil god.

So, after a fierce internal struggle, Ailiya chose to express her gratitude.

“It’s nothing, you’re welcome.”

Bai Lianyue was stunned for a moment, then smiled gently, returning Ailiya’s thanks with a warm smile.

After finally managing to say thank you, Ailiya fell into deep thought again. The girl silently watched Weiya in the protective barrier and Miya sleeping on Bai Lianyue’s lap.

“What’s wrong?” Seeing Ailiya’s serious expression, Bai Lianyue asked curiously.

At this question, Ailiya, who had been lost in thought for a while, finally responded.

“Gaiya Lobir… no, Bai Lianyue…” Turning to meet Bai Lianyue’s gaze, Ailiya spoke seriously.

At these words,

Bai Lianyue froze in place, not responding at all.

Seeing this, Ailiya, who had only been serious for a few seconds, averted her eyes and said guiltily:

“Y-your name is Bai Lianyue, right?”

“That’s right.”

Regaining her composure, Bai Lianyue nodded slightly and scratched the back of her head in a somewhat dazed manner.

“It’s just a bit surprising that you suddenly called me by my name.”

You always called me ‘monster’ before. Suddenly using my name feels a bit unfamiliar.

“So, what’s wrong? Why so serious all of a sudden?”

“I won that salvation game earlier, so I can make a wish, right?”

“…”

“I’ve decided what to wish for.”
