Malevolent – Chapter 68 – Did You Forget Again?

Inside the lost city,

In the warm room meticulously prepared by Serveiling,

Soft daylight filtered through the curtains and fell upon the pure white feather bed, with a faint fragrance permeating the air, resembling a fairyland on earth.

In the center of the large bed, three silver-haired little darlings lay quietly, their sleeping faces appearing incredibly peaceful and pure.

Ailiya, being the elder sister, was positioned in the middle of the bed. Her soft long hair spread out like a waterfall, and the slight rise and fall of her breathing gave her face a gentle glow. Her eyelashes trembled faintly as if she was having a beautiful dream, with the corner of her lips unconsciously bearing a slight smile, as though she had dreamed of something sweet.

After arriving in the Veiled Domain, this was the first time Ailiya had slept so comfortably.

On either side,

The twin sisters Miya and Weiya tightly hugged Ailiya’s arms, their little faces pressed against their sister’s arms, wearing expressions of security, as if nothing in the world could disturb them anymore.

The two little girls wore pure white nightgowns, the soft fabric gently rising and falling with their breathing, very much like two kittens cuddling in a warm embrace. Their hands firmly gripped their sister’s arms, leaning on each other, the subtle sensation of their bodies conveying the simplest, most unspoken trust and dependence.

There wasn’t a trace of worry or concern on the faces of the three sisters, only quietness and peace, as pure and flawless as angels. Their peaceful sleeping faces were like a warm painting, emanating a profound happiness and tranquility…

At the edge of the bed, Lady Bai Lianyue, who had been made to change into a black lace nightgown, sat quietly on a chair, her slender figure appearing especially serene in the sunlight.

Looking at the three little ones sleeping peacefully on the bed, Bai Lianyue’s lips couldn’t help but curve slightly upward, revealing a gentle smile.

“You must be very tired, take a good rest, little ones.”

At the same time,

A sigh came quietly from behind Bai Lianyue.

“I never expected that you, boss, would actually know how to take care of children. It’s quite surprising, isn’t it? You always gave off the impression of being a rough person before.”

“There’s nothing to be surprised about.”

Bai Lianyue laughed lightly and turned her head slightly to look at the tall, graceful figure behind her.

“I used to take care of Xing Wu like this all the time, you know?”

And at this moment,

Standing behind Bai Lianyue was none other than Serveiling, who had just helped Bai Lianyue change her clothes. Serveiling stood quietly behind Bai Lianyue, holding a comb in her hand, carefully tending to that head of light blue hair.

However, having just finished bathing, Bai Lianyue’s hair was particularly damp, hanging loosely on her shoulders, appearing somewhat disheveled.

Faced with this hair that resembled ‘weeds’, Serveiling grumbled irritably:

“You can make the little ones’ hair neat and clean, why can’t you take better care of your own hair?”

“I can’t manage it,” Bai Lianyue answered very honestly.

“Why not?”

“Doing a child’s hair and doing your own hair are not the same, you know?”

“……”

“Besides, I wasn’t planning to groom my hair anyway.”

Saying this, Bai Lianyue somewhat disdainfully lifted a strand of her own hair with her hand.

“It’s too long and inconvenient, and I’m not used to it… I was thinking maybe I should just cut it shorter…”

However,

Before she could finish speaking, Bai Lianyue suddenly felt her body shudder. The cat-eared girl behind her had already drifted eerily to Bai Lianyue’s ear and was glaring at her fiercely with eyes glowing red.

“No!! Absolutely cannot cut it!”

“W-why not?”

“Longer hair looks better!”

Serveiling said seriously.

She couldn’t tolerate Bai Lianyue doing anything that would damage her beauty.

To this, Bai Lianyue puffed her cheeks slightly in displeasure and protested in a small voice.

“Wuwu… but you yourself don’t have long hair either, do you?”

Upon hearing these words, Serveiling’s eyes flashed with an almost imperceptible, unusual light, and she slowly raised her hand to stroke her own gray-gold short hair that barely touched her shoulders.

After a brief moment of heaviness in her heart, Serveiling retorted without mercy:

“I don’t keep long hair because I want to cut ties with the past, okay?! How can you compare yourself to me, boss?”

“Why can’t I compare…”

“No means no!”

Vaguely, Serveiling showed the peculiar haughtiness from her princess days.

“If you mention cutting your hair again, I’ll never let it go! And I won’t find that potion for you either, boss! You can figure out how to feed these little babies yourself in the future!”

“DS……”

Hearing this, Bai Lianyue could only close her mouth in frustration and nodded resignedly:

“Fine, I won’t cut it… Did you have to react so strongly?”

After sighing helplessly, the Terran Malevolence turned her gaze back to the little ones sleeping on the bed.

Of course,

It wasn’t that Lady Bai Lianyue couldn’t win an argument against Serveiling, she was simply afraid that their quarreling would wake up Ailiya and the others.

“Truly, they’re like angels~”

Looking at those adorable faces, Bai Lianyue couldn’t help but marvel again.

Hearing this, Serveiling, who was grooming Bai Lianyue’s hair, couldn’t help but twitch her cat ears and cast her gaze toward the three little ones. Compared to Bai Lianyue’s gaze filled with pure concern, the emotions in Serveiling’s eyes were evidently much more complex.

She knew how important these three little Divine-Graced Maidens were to the boss.

Only their aura could help suppress the boss’s condition.

Serveiling was just curious…

“What do you plan to do with them in the future?” Serveiling asked the question in her heart.

“Do with them? What do you mean?”

“Well… are you planning to keep them caged like pets? Or do you intend to nurture them?”

“Well~”

With a playful smile, Bai Lianyue answered without hesitation:

“Of course I’ll raise them properly. The wish this child made was for me to ensure they grow up healthy. Since they need to grow, naturally I can’t treat them like pets.”

“So you mean to nurture them?”

“Yes.”

As she spoke, as if thinking of something, Bai Lianyue’s eyes narrowed slightly, and a grave look briefly flashed in her pupils.

“They’re not like other impostors… if properly nurtured, they could serve as an insurance policy for myself.”

“……”

Hearing this, Serveiling said no more and slowly nodded.

—”Divine-Graced Maidens who can suppress the boss’s instincts?”—

Watching the three little girls on the bed, Serveiling muttered silently in her heart.

However,

While Serveiling was contemplating something, this Vassal Tier being seemed to suddenly notice something, and her gaze towards Weiya instantly became strange.

Wait?

This child’s aura?

“Boss, did you, did you infuse your hex power into that child’s core??” Instantly flashing from behind to in front of Bai Lianyue, Serveiling asked seriously.

Faced with Serveiling’s sudden change in tone, Bai Lianyue was momentarily stunned, blinked in confusion, and asked bewilderedly:

“Yes…”

“Why would you do that?!”

“Uh, I had no choice… that child’s core was damaged by someone else. Without using hex power to reconstruct the core, Weiya would die.”

Bai Lianyue curled up her body and muttered somewhat innocently:

“W-what’s wrong with that?”

“Of course it’s wrong!! Have you forgotten the lesson Noirleva gave you before?! Do you want to repeat the same mistake?!”

Although knowing that Bai Lianyue’s action was out of necessity, Serveiling still couldn’t help feeling excited, and even uncharacteristically let out a roar of anger.

Of course,

After roaring, Serveiling nervously turned to look behind her, and after confirming that the three little girls were still sound asleep, the cat-eared woman sighed slightly in relief and turned her gaze back to Bai Lianyue, who was the instigator.

Then, Serveiling was astonished to find…

Her boss did not show the conflicted expression she had expected, but instead looked at her with an innocent and puzzled gaze.

“Hmm? Noirleva? Who’s that?”

?!!

Upon hearing this, Serveiling stood frozen in place, looking at the blue-haired girl before her with an expression of disbelief.

After a brief silence, Serveiling finally spoke tremblingly:

“Boss, you… you don’t… don’t remember?”
