Volume 1, Chapter 12

As the emerald energy pillar erupted from the ground, those members of the Divine Punishment Holy Church who had been preparing to flee were instantly enveloped within its radiance. Without even a chance to utter a plea for mercy, they were incinerated into ashes by the scorching heat, completely dissipating within the emerald glow.

A vast, oppressive aura surged forth, instantly causing the black-clad slaves at the entrance of the great hall to tremble uncontrollably. Blood involuntarily seeped from their facial orifices, and those with insufficient strength or weakened constitutions collapsed to the ground, falling unconscious on the spot.

Even those who could withstand this oppressive aura were forced to their knees, gazing in terror at the suddenly appearing gray-haired little girl. As the oppressed, these children were well aware of the strength of those bastards from the Divine Punishment Holy Church. Among them were two terrifying sixth tier existences!

Yet, such powerful individuals had been effortlessly killed by that gray-haired girl.

Moreover, the oppressive feeling within that light…

This girl was absolutely a monster…

Having reached this conclusion, the survivors couldn’t help but shiver, casting fearful glances toward the gray-haired little girl, terrified that they might become her next target.

Under their anxious gazes, the little girl dressed in tattered leather clothing and barefoot slowly ascended the steps. As she drew closer, the tension in their hearts skyrocketed as if riding a rocket.

However, the little girl merely sneered disdainfully at the fearful looks of these ‘slaves’.

Then, under the bewildered stares of the crowd, she brushed past them and walked straight into the Hall of Ten Thousand Demons.

“Boring creatures.”

The little girl’s beautiful emerald eyes were filled with contempt.

If not for her mother’s prohibition, she would have long since cleared out all the trash that had entered the Hall of Ten Thousand Demons. She wouldn’t spare them just because they were young and possessed outstanding talent…

On the contrary,

Those with dense soul power only further ignited the innate ferocity deep within her soul. Even the two small birds perched on her hairpin hissed menacingly at the survivors.

Talented?

Even more reason to kill!

After the gray-haired little girl entered the Hall of Ten Thousand Demons,

The massive snow-white wolf that had been lying under a stone pillar in the distance, looking pitiful after being scolded by Yumo, immediately stood up, its face lighting up with excitement as it looked toward the gray-haired little girl. Its large tail began wagging rapidly like a propeller.

Then,

Without a word, the giant wolf bounded happily toward the gray-haired little girl.

“Awooooo!” (Li Yu! Li Yu! You’re back!!)

Hearing the giant wolf’s greeting, the gray-haired little girl, Li Yu, couldn’t help but smile gently. The disdain and coldness in her emerald eyes vanished instantly, replaced only by warmth and a hint of helplessness.

“I’m back, sister.”

The next moment,

Under the incredulous gazes of the survivors at the hall entrance, the previously ferocious giant wolf obediently nuzzled up to the little girl, lowering its head to greet her affectionately with its face.

Li Yu, overflowing with happiness, hugged the giant wolf’s furry head, pressing her little face against it and rubbing gently~~

A giant wolf standing about six meters tall was now face-to-face with a little girl, leaving the survivors utterly dumbfounded.

However,

Their stares clearly displeased Li Mo.

After enduring their sharp gazes for a while, Li Mo’s brow furrowed slightly as she looked unhappily toward the crowd at the hall entrance. A cold glint gradually surfaced in her blood-red eyes.

“Awooo! Awoo!” (What are you looking at?!)

Don’t disturb me greeting my sister!

Before her words faded,

A powerful and violent surge of Shadow Essence erupted from the giant wolf’s body, instantly imposing a soul-crushing pressure on the crowd. In an instant, everyone collapsed, falling unconscious…

Of course, even so, Li Mo had shown restraint.

Given her strength, she could easily crush the souls of these ordinary beings with her aura alone. The oppressive presence of a demon king tier was not something creatures below the sixth tier could withstand.

However,

Li Mo’s unauthorized action against the survivors still slightly displeased Yumo.

A Blood Butterfly slowly fluttered to the giant wolf’s side, transmitting Yumo’s scolding words into Li Mo’s ears, causing the latter to tremble all over.

“Li Mo! You’re releasing your aura recklessly again!!”

What if you end up killing these talented individuals?!

“Wuwuwu~”

The coldness in the giant wolf’s eyes vanished after being scolded, replaced by a pitiful look as she lowered her head, even hiding behind her sister, speaking weakly,

“Wuwu, I… I didn’t mean to,”

“You silly girl, don’t act on your own next time!”

“Wuwu~ I understand,”

“Sigh…”

Such a troublesome child.

Seeing this, Yumo sighed helplessly in her heart. Then, the Blood Butterfly slowly fluttered before Li Yu.

“You’re back, Li Yu.”

“Yes,”

Seeing the Blood Butterfly approach, Li Yu gracefully revealed a smile and performed a very proper curtsy toward it.

“I’m back, Mother.”

“Mhm, welcome back.”

Yumo smiled contentedly.

A crimson energy gently rippled around the Blood Butterfly, forming an energy arm that gently stroked Li Yu’s little head. The latter happily enjoyed her mother’s touch, her emerald eyes unconsciously brimming with happiness.

Seeing her sister being petted by their mother,

Li Mo, hiding behind Li Yu, suddenly poked her head out. Then, ripples stirred in her red eyes as she lowered her ears, looking at Yumo with an adorable, pleading expression, leaving Yumo momentarily speechless.

But in the end, she helplessly used Shadow Essence to create another energy hand, gently stroking the giant wolf’s head.

“Awoo~~”

Li Mo, being petted, wagged her tail happily.

Looking at the two obedient and adorable sisters before her,

Yumo couldn’t help but feel a surge of emotions, even a sense of accomplishment.

Thinking back to those distant days,

When these two little ones first entered the Hall of Ten Thousand Demons, how frail and weak they were, even on the verge of death. If she hadn’t timely bestowed them with a portion of her power, the little white wolf and the little Radiant Spirit Bird, these two spirit beasts would have likely frozen to death in the blizzard of that harsh winter…

And now?

These two once-frail little creatures had grown into demon king tier Abyssal Demons.

Realizing that her upbringing had, overall, been quite successful,

Yumo felt deeply gratified.

Hmm,

However, one thing did give her quite a headache,

And that was the issue of how these two little ones addressed her.

Rеаԁ oո КаtRеаⅾіոgСαfe

Back then, as she had just begun learning the common languages of the various races on the Ancheka Continent, Yumo wasn’t very familiar with them. She hadn’t initially understood what the little ones’ term of address for her truly meant,

So she let Li Yu and Li Mo call her ‘Mamu’ ¹ 玛慕 (mǎ mù), mom/mother .

As her vocabulary expanded, Yumo finally understood the true meaning of that word…

‘Mother’

??!!

She was a man,

Well,

Although now she was a Sentient Entity,

Her male consciousness was still quite strong, okay? After learning the meaning of ‘Mamu’, Yumo naturally didn’t want the children to continue calling her that. However, these two little ones stubbornly refused, insisting on calling her mother, even throwing tantrums and crying,

Saying that the feeling she gave them was clearly that of a mother. No matter how much she tried to teach them to say ‘father’, they absolutely refused to acknowledge it,

Leaving Yumo utterly speechless.

In the end, she had no choice but to give up.

“Sigh…”

Thinking of this, Yumo sighed helplessly in her heart.

If one day she could create a body for herself, she would definitely make it masculine and handsome! Then she’d make these two brats obediently call her ‘father’! Hmph~

Well~

But after being called ‘mother’ for several hundred years, wouldn’t it feel a bit strange to suddenly be called ‘father’?

Yumo couldn’t help but feel slightly conflicted.
