“You’re the Goddess Big Sister!!”

“Go… Goddess?”

Miss Yumo’s brow furrowed slightly. After all, she was at most a Demon God, which was poles apart from being a goddess.

However, Yuan’er did not notice Yumo’s subtle expression. The pink-haired girl was currently caught in a state of intense excitement and agitation! She was completely hyped up, even forgetting the burning pain on her backside caused by the feather duster.

All of the girl’s attention was focused on Miss Yumo’s exquisite face.

Although she had been on the verge of death at the time and her vision had been quite blurred, Yuan’er still clearly remembered that pair of beautiful and eerie crimson pupils, as well as the silhouette of that graceful figure. Seeing Yumo again and hearing that familiar voice, the image of the savior in Yuan’er’s mind gradually overlapped with Miss Yumo.

In an instant, a feeling of admiration and awe surged from Yuan’er’s heart. After all, this was the woman who had pulled her back from the gates of hell!

“Are you the Goddess Big Sister who saved me back then?!”

Yuan’er looked at Yumo with immense anticipation. Her heterochromatic red and blue eyes were filled with excitement; her previous grievances and bloodthirsty tyranny seemed to vanish into thin air at this moment. If one ignored the terrifying black energy swirling around her, she was no different from an innocent and cute little girl.

However, faced with Yuan’er’s expectant gaze, Miss Yumo could only helplessly press a hand to her forehead.

“Erm, how should I put this… I’m not exactly a goddess. Also, don’t call me big sister, it would mess up the generational seniority.”

“Huh?”

Hearing this, Yuan’er couldn’t help but frown, wearing a confused little expression.

“If I don’t call you big sister, then what should I call you?”

“This…”

Yumo was momentarily at a loss for words. She rested her chin on her hand and watched the girl in front of her in silence.

Under normal circumstances, Yuan’er, who possessed her Primordial Essence Blood and had gained a new life through her power, could be considered her child. She should call her ‘Mother’, just like Li Mo and Li Yu. However, unlike those ‘wild’ children, Yuan’er was a human with her own parents and human values. If she suddenly asked her to call her ‘Mother’, would the girl be resistant?

Considering the child’s feelings, Yumo intended to explain the situation clearly first.

Yumo slowly drifted in front of Yuan’er and rubbed the girl’s small face.

In response, Yuan’er closed her eyes, looking very satisfied.

Originally, as the daughter of a Marquis Family, Yuan’er would have been extremely repulsed by an outsider touching her. However, as Yumo kneaded her cheeks, Yuan’er didn’t feel the slightest bit of disgust; instead, a feeling of enjoyment continuously welled up from the depths of her heart.

Furthermore, being close to the other woman felt exceptionally comfortable.

Unconsciously, Yuan’er revealed a cute, blissful expression.

Yumo gave a faint smile. “Forget it, I’ll explain what to call me in a moment.”

As she spoke, Yumo pointed at the black energy on Yuan’er’s body and the countless Blood Butterflies surrounding them.

“So, first of all, do you know what the current situation is? Do you know what’s going on with yourself?”

Yumo’s voice carried a hint of trepidation.

After all, to humans, Abyssal Demons were the enemy of all things and the root of the world’s chaos. Yuan’er herself was born into the Duke Family, which was dedicated to resisting Abyssal Demons; such a child should be filled with hatred for them. If she learned that she had now turned into the very creature she hated most, how would she react?

Upon hearing Yumo’s words, Yuan’er blinked in a daze. She followed Miss Yumo’s finger and looked at the surrounding scene and the black aura on her body.

In an instant, the little girl who had been incredibly excited just a moment ago was struck with shock and horror!

“Eek?!! Why are there so many butterflies?!”

“This… what is this black energy on me?! It’s so gross!”

“Wait?! Am I… am I flying?!”

“I clearly don’t know how to fly!!”

After realizing this, Yuan’er’s heterochromatic eyes were instantly filled with confusion! Realizing she didn’t know how to fly yet was suspended in the air, the girl suddenly became frantic and began struggling wildly. In the next instant, the black Shadow Essence around her collapsed.

Floating in mid-air, Yuan’er suddenly began a free fall.

“Aaaaaah!! Goddess Big Sister, save me!!”

Yumo: …

At that moment, Miss Yumo’s brow couldn’t help but twitch as she raised a hand to her forehead.

‘This child… feels… a bit slow.’

While sighing, Yumo glanced downward from the corner of her eye. Yuan’er continued to wail as she plunged downward in a straight line without any sign of floating back up.

‘Forget it.’

Yumo shook her head helplessly. Although the physical strength of the demon king tier meant she wouldn’t be injured even falling from a great height and it was Mother Earth who would be the unlucky one, Yuan’er likely didn’t know that. Letting her fall just wasn’t right. Honestly, she was such a capable fighter a moment ago, so how did she forget how to fly the moment she came to her senses?

With a wave of her hand, dozens of Blood Butterflies abruptly flew to Yuan’er’s side, dragging the wailing and screaming girl back into mid-air.

“Aaaaaah!! Goddess Big Sister, it’s so so so scary!! Why… why was I in the air?! Waaaaah!”

“Alright, alright, calm down… You flew up there yourself!”

“Me? I’m only third tier, there’s no way I can fly. Isn’t flight something only seventh tier powerhouses can do?”

Hearing Yumo’s words, Yuan’er’s small face was full of confusion.

“That’s why I said the current you has been reborn and is completely different from before. Now, you can fly.”

“No, that’s impossible. How could I…”

“Don’t argue, just do as I say. Use your will to try and mobilize the black light around you.”

“Black light?”

“Yes, that is your power, a part of your body. Close your eyes and sense their existence carefully. Try to establish a connection with them, then let that light envelop your body and lift you up.”

Under Miss Yumo’s patient guidance, Yuan’er actually managed to hover precariously in mid-air, surrounded by the black light!

Seeing this, Yumo revealed a satisfied smile. “See? Aren’t you flying now?”

“It’s true! I… I can fly!! Amazing!!”

In an instant, Yuan’er revealed an innocent and cute smile. She began to dance excitedly in the sky like a child who had received a new toy, her brilliant smile bringing a sense of comfort to Miss Yumo as well.

“Goddess Big Sister! Have I… have I become a saint tier powerhouse?! That’s so cool! I can actually fly?!”

“Saint tier? Actually, it’s more than that…”

“Eh? But why is it black light?”

As she played, Yuan’er looked curiously at the black energy rippling around her. “And the feeling of this black light… it’s so strange. Although it’s very comfortable, it doesn’t seem like magic power? Also, Goddess Big Sister, what do you mean by ‘more than saint tier’?”

“That is a long story, so you should be mentally prepared. Strictly speaking, you are no longer a hum- hmm??”

“Human?”

However, just as Miss Yumo was about to explain properly, a special energy fluctuation and information from the Blood Butterflies entered her mind. Her brow furrowed as her expression instantly turned displeased.

“Is something wrong, Goddess Big Sister?” Yuan’er asked in confusion, noticing the change in the black-haired girl’s expression.

Sensing the slight unease in Yuan’er’s voice, Yumo gave a gentle smile and patted the girl’s head.

“It’s nothing, don’t worry. Follow the method I taught you and return to the ground first. Then, find a place to hide and don’t wander around. I’ll deal with someone and then come back for you.”
