Volume 2, Chapter 22 – How Did She End Up Like This…

On a steep mountain peak outside the Forsaken Metropolis Visas.

Two petite silver figures were swiftly traversing through it.

They were none other than the twin sisters Miya and Weiya.

To ensure the twins’ healthy growth with strong physiques, the Terran Malevolence lady was quite attentive to the little ones’ daily exercise. Thus, early this morning, she had arranged for the two little ones to climb this slope with a ‘stern and malicious’ face.

Only after retrieving the small flag at the mountain top would they be allowed to return home for lunch~

—”If you don’t get it, there will be no lunch for you!”

That was how Miss Bai Lianyue ‘threatened’ the two little ones.

However, for the twin sisters Miya and Weiya, Bai Lianyue’s threat… well, once you get over it, it’s really nothing… they weren’t particularly concerned.

Because the twins knew very well that their mother was someone who acted tough but had a soft heart. Even if they couldn’t retrieve the small flag, mom would secretly arrange for Cat Sister or Octopus Sister to bring them food.

No lunch? That was impossible.

Although they knew this, the little ones still wanted to put in some effort. After all, getting that flag and completing the challenge would surely make mom happy~

And so,

The two little ones mustered their energy and bounced their way up.

“One, two, three~, I jump~, I hop and skip~ Hehe~”

After leaping up and seeing the smooth slope ahead without any footholds, Miya smiled and swung her little fist.

“Boom!”

Accompanied by a thunderous sound and a surge of azure energy, Miya’s punch created a massive hole in the slope, her fist embedding into the rock, thus anchoring herself to the cliff.

Looking up at the mountain top that was now within reach, Miya immediately broke into a radiant smile.

“Hehe, we’re almost there~”

But while feeling excited, Miya turned her head in puzzlement to look at Weiya, who was standing on a protruding rock not far below.

“Weiya?”

Calling for her sister and feeling concerned, Miya immediately jumped down, landing on the rock where Weiya stood.

After landing, Miya quickly took hold of Weiya’s small hand with worry,

“What’s wrong, Weiya? Are you tired? Feeling unwell? If you’re not feeling well, you don’t need to climb anymore. I’ll go get the flag.”

Considering her sister’s “poor health,”

Miya was deeply concerned that her sister might not have enough stamina.

However,

Faced with Miya’s worried inquiry, Weiya just lightly shook her head:

“No, sister. I’m fine.”

“You’re fine? Then why did you suddenly stop climbing?”

“Hmm, I was thinking… maybe we should just fall down intentionally.” Glancing at the cliff below, Weiya said dreamily.

“What?”

Miya blinked in confusion:

“Fall down? Why?”

Regarding this question, Weiya didn’t directly respond, but inexplicably asked another question:

“It’s been a long time since we slept with mom. I want to be held by mom while sleeping. What about you, sister?”

“Eh?” Hearing this, Miya was momentarily stunned.

Then, after thinking carefully, the little girl nodded.

“Yes, I do.”

In the little one’s view, sleeping with mom, snuggling in mom’s embrace was an extremely blissful thing. Unfortunately, from several years ago, mom had said they were grown up now and stopped sleeping with them, which made the twins quite depressed for a while.

“I want to, but what does this have to do with falling down?”

“Of course there’s a connection.”

“Hmm?”

“You know very well that mom likes to pretend to be harsh, stern, and ‘cold-hearted’ in front of us all day long. But every time something happens to us, she gets scared to death. Remember when your finger got scratched during training? Mom suddenly jumped out from a haystack, nervously bandaging it for you? That night, she even agreed to your request and made us lots of delicious food.”

“Oh, it was like that.”

While reminiscing, Miya nodded. As she nodded, Miya’s eyes suddenly narrowed, showing a look of sudden enlightenment,

“Oh! I understand! You want us to pretend to accidentally fall off the cliff, deliberately triggering the guardian seeds mom placed in our bodies!”

“Yes! That’s right!”

Weiya agreed with a smile:

“Once the seeds are triggered, mom will know we’re in danger and definitely appear by our side immediately. Then, if we cry a bit~, our guilt-ridden mom will surely hold us while sleeping tonight~”

“Oh, I see! Weiya, you’re so clever!”

Looking at her sister’s face, a trace of admiration flashed in Miya’s eyes. However, while feeling excited, a hint of hesitation also appeared in Miya’s eyes.

“But, is this okay? Scaring mom and all…”

“Do you want to sleep with mom?”

“I do.”

“Then listen to me.”

“Hmm.”

After a brief contemplation, Miya finally nodded.

“Alright.”

The next moment,

Having reached a consensus, the two siblings simultaneously mobilized their Augury Force. Under the impact of dark red and azure Augury Forces, the rock beneath their feet shattered with a rumble, and they fell towards the bottom of the cliff.

Though falling off a cliff, there wasn’t a trace of fear on the little ones’ faces, only intense anticipation and excitement.

However,

Just as the two little girls were happily waiting for the seeds within them to be “activated,” a white light suddenly rushed from afar, catching the falling twins at an unbelievable speed.

Then, a self-assured, joyful voice, yet completely unfamiliar to the twins, echoed in their ears.

—”Don’t worry, don’t be afraid, Uncle is here to save you.”

Miya: ??

Weiya: ??

Meanwhile,

In the storage room of Bellflower Sanctum, Serveiling, who was currently managing affairs in the Veiled Domain, was personally checking the numerous supplies that had just been delivered to the sanctum.

However,

After just starting to sort through them, Serveiling stopped and looked with a strange expression at the silver-haired girl standing nearby, hands behind her back, smiling brightly while watching her.

“You just said you want muscle-relaxing oil??”

With a slightly twitching brow, Serveiling looked at Ailiya suspiciously.

Muscle-relaxing oil,

This thing indeed had the effect of clearing meridians.

But as a former princess with rich same-sex experience, Serveiling naturally knew another purpose for this item. And from Ailiya’s playful smile, her purpose for wanting this oil was obviously not very proper.

“What are you up to? Why do you suddenly want this?”

“Hehe, because, Lianyue is helping me apply it~”

“The boss? Really?”

“Of course it’s true~”

“……”

Narrowing her eyes slightly, Serveiling’s expression became increasingly peculiar.

“You little girl, are you tricking the boss again?”

“No way, I really felt my meridians congested lately, and need Lianyue’s help to clear them~” The silver-haired girl stuck out her tongue, speaking rather mischievously.

While replying, Ailiya slowly walked to the large boxes containing supplies and, guided by a special scent, actually retrieved a box filled with light golden potion from among them.

The moment she saw that box of potion, Serveiling’s eyes narrowed slightly.

That was,

The potion to replenish Augury Force for these little ones?

“Hey, you naughty girl aren’t planning to…?”

“Hehe~”

Without giving a direct answer, Ailiya just smiled calmly.

Though she didn’t answer, the silver-haired girl’s actual actions directly confirmed Serveiling’s thoughts.

The next moment,

With a surge of cherry-colored light, the box and the potions within were instantly crushed by Ailiya’s energy, turning into nothingness amidst an energy turbulence.

Witnessing this scene, Serveiling’s brow twitched involuntarily.

“You little girl… Doing this, aren’t you afraid I’ll tell the boss?”

“Of course not~”

Ailiya replied without hesitation while wiping her hands with a handkerchief:

“Cat Sister is a smart person, and definitely won’t tell mom, right? After all, Cat Sister doesn’t want mom to know about those things you do in private, right? Besides, me being raised this way, you can’t escape responsibility either, can you?”

Hearing this, Serveiling’s brow twitched, unable to refute, and could only sigh helplessly.

“You little girl…”

She wasn’t like this before,

How did she end up getting darker the more we raised her…
