Volume 1, Chapter 13

The true forms of the sisters Li Yu and Li Mo were not human,

But spirit beasts that had transformed into Abyssal Demons.

Unlike other demon king tier beings who had been sent by her to the Ancheka Continent to gather information on the Main Character Group, these two children mostly stayed within Deepwinter Forest. Even though they had learned Shapeshifting Magic, their lives were largely no different from those of ordinary Abyssal Demons.

Since these two could take human form,

Yumo, out of personal preference, still hoped they could abandon their primitive, blood-drinking daily routines and learn some human habits. The sisters’ reactions to Yumo’s suggestion were completely opposite extremes.

Li Mo still yearned for a beast-like life, often maintaining her giant wolf form in daily life. She preferred devouring prey raw and alive, showing little interest in the cooked food Yumo kept suggesting, which often left Yumo quite speechless. She could be considered a rather troublesome child.

However,

Compared to her older sister Li Mo, the younger sister Li Yu was much more well-behaved. She diligently studied human life skills, including human etiquette, language, and related knowledge. She mostly maintained the form of a gray-haired little girl in daily life, and to avoid damaging the few fur garments they had, she even tried to avoid reverting to her true form. Recently, she had even been learning to cook. Well, but judging from Li Mo’s reaction every time she ate,

Her culinary skills probably still needed some improvement…

Unfortunately, Yumo didn’t have a physical body, otherwise she could have tasted her daughter’s cooking properly and even taught her some cooking techniques. After all, back in high school, when her parents weren’t home, she often cooked for herself.

But regardless, making an effort to try was worth encouraging.

Thinking of this, Yumo’s gaze toward Li Yu became increasingly satisfied.

In contrast,

Yumo’s “look” toward Li Mo seemed somewhat “disdainful”, which directly led to the latter transforming into a husky and starting to wreck the place inside the Hall of Ten Thousand Demons…

Only after Yumo gave her a few hard flicks on the forehead did the “husky” finally stop causing trouble.

A moment later,

The now calmed-down Li Mo finally transformed into her human form and put on her tattered leather garment. Then, the wolf girl covered her swollen forehead, walked pitifully to the entrance of the great hall, and gently poked the unconscious young man and woman lying on the ground with a branch.

Hmm…

Rеаⅾ оn КαtReаdіոɡCаfe

Still alive.

“By the way, Mother, what do you plan to do with these guys? Use them for experiments?”

However,

Before Yumo could answer, her younger sister Li Yu unceremoniously cast a scornful look at her own sister.

“Usually, only ordinary people with little talent are used by Mother for experiments. For young people like these with good talent who haven’t done anything wrong, Mother usually hands them over to Sister or Xiao and the others for training. Sister, you’ve been by Mother’s side for so many years, and you still don’t understand this?”

“Wuwu~~”

Li Mo pouted, giving her younger sister a complaining look, then turned her head away with a haughty air.

“Hmph! I, I… I was just asking on purpose… to test you, that’s all!”

“Yes, yes~”

Li Yu didn’t plan to dwell on this trivial matter with her sister any further.

Instead, she stepped forward and carefully examined the young people lying unconscious on the ground. A playful glint gradually appeared in her emerald-green eyes. “Their physical fitness and soul power are even better than the last batch of offerings, and they’re almost all handsome men and beautiful women. Even the younger ones are beauties in the making.”

As she spoke,

Li Yu turned to look at the blood-red butterfly floating behind her.

“Mother, speaking of which, wasn’t Xiao working on a small intelligence organization some time ago? As long as these guys get a proper brainwashing, they should make good new recruits, right? Coincidentally, Saibok Bania came to visit you today. He can help you take them back and hand them over to Xiao.”

??

Huh?

Saibok Bania?

Hearing the name of an acquaintance, Li Mo regained her energy, hopping and skipping over to Li Yu’s side, asking curiously:

“Saibok?! That guy came today?”

“Yes, he’s outside the barrier.”

“Huh? Then why isn’t he coming in?”

Faced with her sister’s question, Li Yu pursed her lips and rolled her eyes at her.

“Sigh, the reason is simple. Weren’t those fools from the Divine Punishment Holy Church here earlier? It wasn’t convenient for him to come in for a visit, so he waited outside.”

After saying this, Li Yu looked respectfully at the blood-red butterfly.

“Mother, can we let him in now?”

“Hmm,”

After glancing at the unconscious young people scattered on the ground and Li Mo, who had barely managed to put on her clothes, the few red butterflies formed by Yumo’s will slowly flew toward the outside of the barrier.

“Yes, we can let him in now.”

Come to think of it,

it really has been a long time since I last saw that guy. Time flies so fast~

Yumo couldn’t help but feel like an old person, sighing inwardly.

At the same time, Yumo casually called over a few Abyssal Demons to clean up the dozen or so cold corpses in the center of the great hall…

A moment later,

Under the slightly astonished gazes of the two sisters, a white-haired middle-aged man exuding an elegant aura, wearing a monocle and dressed in black butler attire, slowly ascended the steps and entered this ancient temple.

Reаԁ οո КatReаdiոɡCafе

The visitor was naturally Saibok Bania, who had once lived in the Hall of Ten Thousand Demons with Li Mo and Li Yu for a long time.

Seeing the two familiar figures inside the hall and the blood-red butterfly filled with invisible pressure, Saibok respectfully knelt on one knee, raising his right hand to press against his left chest while placing his left arm behind his back.

“It has been a long time, Lady Yumo. And Lady Li Mo and Lady Li Yu.”

The man’s respectful words carried a hint of joy at seeing his benefactor and old friends.

He was not an Abyssal Demon,

But a pure human.

“Eh??”

Upon seeing this white-haired middle-aged man, Li Mo couldn’t help but let out an exclamation of surprise. She jumped in front of Saibok in disbelief, reaching out with her slender jade-like hands to grab his pale white hair.

“You, how did you get so old? Your hair’s all white?”

“Lady Li Mo, I am merely an ordinary fifth tier human. Over 80 years have passed, so growing old is quite normal.”

“Huh? Is… is that normal?”

“Yes.”

“But why are you only fifth tier? Haven’t you been cultivating properly all this time?” Li Yu asked curiously from the side.

“Ah, I have cultivated, but I lack talent in this area. After all, I am just an ordinary person with average aptitude. To have reached fifth tier with Lord Xiao’s help, I am already quite content.”

Saibok waved his hand with a smile, his gaze gradually shifting forward to look at the blood-red butterfly fluttering before him.

At the same time,

Yumo’s words slowly entered Saibok’s mind.

“If you are willing to accept a bit of Shadow Essence, breaking through to sixth tier would not be difficult.”

“Thank you for your concern, Lady Yumo. But I’d better not. I fear this body of mine lacks the ability to withstand Shadow Essence. Moreover, I still hope to… to live as a human.”

“I see. Alright, since you say so, I respect your decision.”

“Thank you, Lady Yumo.”

Saibok bowed his head gratefully.

“Also, you don’t need to perform such a grand salute every time you see me.”

“The hierarchical relationship must not be disordered.”

“You, how come after just over eighty years apart, you talk like an old fossil? Never mind. So, why did you suddenly come to Deepwinter Forest this time? Is there something urgent?”

“Yes.”

Saibok nodded, then looked solemnly at the blood-red butterfly before him.

“Lady Yumo, we have several important matters to report to you.”

“Oh? What matters?”

“First, we… we seem to have found information on the ‘Main Characters’.”

“Huh??”

Hearing this, not only Yumo and Li Yu, but even the usually carefree Li Mo couldn’t help but focus their attention on Saibok.

“Wait? You said you found the ‘Main Character Group’?”
