Volume 2, Chapter 8 – Miya and Weiya’s Little Adventure

Not long after Ailiya stormed out of the cottage in a huff, a cat-eared woman with her hands in her pockets pushed open the door and walked in, looking puzzled.

Huh?

“Big Sis, what’s wrong with Ailiya? She doesn’t seem too happy.”

Her cat ears twitched as Serveiling turned her questioning gaze toward the blue-haired girl in the room.

At the moment, our Miss Bai Lianyue was diligently cleaning the stove with a rag. Upon hearing Serveiling’s question, Bai Lianyue shook her head helplessly.

“She didn’t like today’s dish. There was a strange smell in the ingredients. She got angry and left.”

“Huh??”

Hearing this, Serveiling tilted her head in confusion.

After all, back when Big Sis’s cooking skills were on par with the King of Hell’s, Ailiya had never shown any signs of disgust. Not to mention now, when Big Sis’s culinary skills had improved significantly.

A strange smell in the ingredients?

Big Sis’s cooking shouldn’t make such a basic mistake anymore, right?

After some thought, Serveiling felt that Ailiya’s unhappiness… definitely wasn’t about the taste of the food.

Then what was it about?

Looking at Bai Lianyue, who was holding a recipe book with a serious expression, Serveiling quickly gave up on further questioning.

Forget it,

With Big Sis’s blockhead, there’s no way she’d understand.

However, before Serveiling could ask anything else, Bai Lianyue proactively brought up another topic she was concerned about.

“Hey… Serveiling, how’s Ailiya’s training been lately?”

“Pretty good,” Serveiling replied truthfully.

“While you were asleep this past week, Ailiya broke through to the peak of the Divine Martial Realm. Her strength has improved a lot. Her illusions are so convincing now that even Octopus Girl got fooled.”

“She fooled Lingxi? Not bad!”

“That’s not even the main point. The key is that her physical combat abilities are also incredibly strong. You know, her Augury Force is mind-based. Typically, mind-based ability users are much weaker in physical combat compared to others of the same tier. But that girl’s different… Now, she can take down five Crimson Hex-tier Corrupted Beasts at their peak all by herself.”

“That impressive?!!”

Bai Lianyue blinked, her emerald eyes filled with shock and joy.

“Yeah, it’s a bit beyond expectations.”

Serveiling sighed.

Clearly, Ailiya’s displayed strength had far exceeded Serveiling’s expectations.

But, thinking about it carefully, it also made sense, right?

“After all… she’s absorbed a lot of nutrients…………………

As she spoke, Serveiling’s gaze subtly drifted toward Bai Lianyue’s ample chest.

“Huh? What nutrients?” Bai Lianyue asked, confused.

“Nothing, don’t worry about it, Big Sis.”

Shaking her head, Serveiling clearly didn’t want to continue this topic.

“Anyway, at this rate, that girl will probably break through to the Divine Departure Realm in about a year. An eighteen-year-old Divine Departure Realm expert? That’s even more impressive than Lianna. In the history of Yao Xing, no one will likely surpass her.”

“Is that so~”

Leaning against the stove, the blue-haired girl murmured softly.

As she spoke, feelings of joy, excitement, and pride began to flood Bai Lianyue’s stunning face, making the Terran Malevolence’s smile even brighter.

“As expected of my daughter, she’s amazing, hehe~”

An eighteen-year-old Divine Departure Realm expert?

By then,

With the Augury Force from my body and a portion of cursed energy gifted to her… that girl will definitely break through to the Divine Graced Realm!

The more she thought about it, the more anticipation filled Bai Lianyue’s eyes.

After a moment of joy, Bai Lianyue didn’t hesitate to express her gratitude to Serveiling:

“You’ve worked hard, Serveiling, teaching Ailiya and the others so much.”

“It’s nothing, it’s my duty.”

“Oh, right. Those teachers Yelena invited to teach Ailiya… make sure to give them some gifts too. Coming to a place like the Veiled Domain to teach must have scared them. We can’t skimp on the compensation for their mental distress, okay~”

“Uh, of course.”

Serveiling replied softly. At the same time, a strange glint flashed in the cat-eared girl’s crimson eyes.

After all,

Those teachers Big Sis mentioned, who were “invited” to teach the girls… had basically all been silenced by Yelena.

To prevent any leaks about the Veiled Domain’s internal affairs…………

Considering that Big Sis might not approve, Serveiling ultimately chose to keep this matter hidden.

“They taught Ailiya and the others so much useful knowledge, of course we’ll repay them properly.”

“That’s good~”

Satisfied, Bai Lianyue then turned her gaze toward the window.

“Oh, by the way, where have Miya and Weiya run off to?”

Originally, Bai Lianyue had wanted to ask Ailiya, but the girl had been driven away by her cooking, so she hadn’t had the chance.

Thus, she could only turn her questioning gaze to Serveiling.

Serveiling also tilted her head in confusion.

When it came to those two mischievous little ones, even Serveiling seemed to feel a headache coming on.

“Those two little rascals… uh, I really don’t know where they’ve gone. Probably off on another adventure or something?”

“Adventure? Are they fooling around again?”

Hearing this answer, Bai Lianyue immediately showed a worried expression.

“Is Lingxi with them? What if they run into danger……………”

“No, Lingxi’s busy making apple jam… but Big Sis, you don’t need to worry. Have you forgotten about Weiya’s situation?”

“Weiya?”

Muttering the girl’s name, Bai Lianyue touched her cheek in confusion.

“What about Weiya?”

Sighing, Serveiling couldn’t help but facepalm.

“Big Sis, don’t tell me you don’t even remember what you did?”

“Meow?”

“No selling cuteness.”

Meanwhile,

On a small hill in the outskirts of the Forsaken Metropolis Visas, a petite silver figure was darting up a slightly steep slope like a rabbit.

This was a little girl around ten years old, as delicate and adorable as a porcelain doll. Her beautiful silver hair was tied into a cute side ponytail, and her large, sparkling blue eyes shone with excitement.

This lively, energetic little girl was none other than our dear Miya.

Looking up at the intriguing, dilapidated tower at the hill’s summit, Miya’s blue eyes sparkled with enthusiasm.

“Hehe, almost there~”

After a cheerful laugh, Miya turned to look at the girl not far behind her, who looked almost identical to her except for her hairstyle and eye color.

“Weiya~! Hurry up! Or I won’t wait for you!” Miya said with a grin, hands on her hips.

Hearing this,

The little girl with a right-sided ponytail and orange-red eyes replied with some concern:

“Sis, slow down… Be careful, the slope’s really steep here.”

“Hehe, what’s a little steepness? I’m amazing~, don’t worry so much, Weiya.” Miya waved off her sister’s warning, putting her hands behind her head carelessly.

“……”

Hearing this, Weiya didn’t know what to say about her monkey-like sister. However, after glancing at the gradually darkening sky, she continued:

“Sis, it looks like it’s going to rain soon. Should we ask Serveiling to send some Corrupted Beasts to pick us up? Otherwise, we might not……………”

Before Weiya could finish, Miya’s voice, full of resistance, cut in:

“No!!”

“Huh?”

Seeing her pouting, clearly unhappy sister, Weiya’s eyes showed a hint of helplessness:

“Sis, you’re still not used to them? Those Corrupted Beasts are all Mom’s pets, there’s no need to be so against them.”

“I… I know.”

Miya muttered softly.

“But… but, I just find them a bit scary……………”

As she spoke, as if remembering something, Miya quickly patted her chest and reassured Weiya:

“It’s fine, it’s just rain, Weiya, don’t worry! If it comes to it, I’ll carry you back on my back~, hehe~”

“Huh?”

Hearing this, Weiya was stunned for a moment, then nodded meaningfully.

“Alright.”

“Hehe~”

After a silly laugh, Miya happily continued running up the hill.

“Hurry up, Weiya! Let’s finish exploring quickly and head back early~”

“Okay.”

Facing her sister’s urging, Weiya obediently nodded.

However, the little girl didn’t immediately follow her sister. Instead, she thoughtfully glanced at the nearby ravine and whispered:

“You guys stay here for now. If you keep following me, you might scare Sis.”

As soon as Weiya spoke,

The massive, red-eyed shadows hiding in the ravine obediently retreated, quickly disappearing into the darkness……………
