Volume 3, Chapter 28 – The Restless Girl

“You?!”

When Xiao had fought against the Divine Punishment Holy Church before, she had also released a chilling killing intent. However, Wilt could clearly feel that unlike before, the aura surrounding Xiao now was even more oppressive and terrifying, sending shivers down his spine. The concentration of his killing intent was simply beyond comparison.

The moment the Chosen One was mentioned, the killing intent surging around Xiao was like hellfire howling out of the abyss, capable of incinerating everything in its path. This was clearly genuine killing intent. Even as the Cult Leader of the Divine Punishment Holy Church and an eighth tier high-level powerhouse, Wilt could not help but feel a lingering fear.

The wariness in his eyes grew increasingly intense.

Originally, when he heard the other party say she wanted to eliminate the Chosen One, Wilt thought she was speaking nonsense. After all, to most people, the Chosen One was indispensable for saving the world. Aside from their Divine Punishment Holy Church, practically no one would think of eliminating them.

However, after feeling this killing intent along with the hatred and determination contained within, Wilt confirmed that the other party was not lying.

Although he did not know why the head of the Blackrose Family would loathe the Chosen One so much, since he did, they could cooperate. After all, the enemy of an enemy can be a teammate for a time.

As for how to handle things afterward?

They would worry about that later; for now, as Xiao had said, he had no choice. Thinking of this, Wilt gave a relieved smile and looked at Xiao with a playful gaze.

“You? You are human, right?”

“Yes.”

Xiao retracted his killing intent and replied very politely. At the same time, he slowly raised his hand and snapped his fingers.

Accompanied by a crisp snapping sound, the two summoned creatures pinning Wilt down vanished without a trace, and the magic circle suppressing the other members of the Divine Punishment Holy Church in the distance abruptly collapsed. Seeing the change in Wilt’s expression, Xiao knew he had chosen to cooperate.

In that case, there was naturally no need to keep their “teammate” bound.

With the suppression gone, Wilt slowly stood up from the ground and asked curiously.

“Since you are human, why do you want to kill the Chosen One?”

“That is no concern of yours. You only need to know that our goals are the same and that we can cooperate.”

“Hmm, true enough.”

Wilt nodded slightly without committing himself.

“Then what do you plan to do?”

“As for me, I plan to eliminate the Chosen Son first.”

“The Chosen Son?”

Hearing this, Wilt could not help but show a hint of confusion: “Hasn’t that fellow defeated Inferno, a demon king tier existence? He has even become the Emperor of the Snownight Empire. How can he be so easy to kill? Why not choose the Chosen Maiden first?”

“Hehe…”

‘Defeated, was it?’

Xiao smiled indifferently but had no intention of revealing anything.

“It is precisely because he ‘defeated’ Inferno that we must prioritize targeting him; we cannot let him grow any further. Moreover, compared to the Chosen Maiden, Xue Tian’ao is undoubtedly easier to deal with. Do not forget that the Chosen Maiden possesses protective divine power, is currently protected by the Heavenly Apostle at all times, and has the Blood Butterfly protecting her from some hidden location.”

“This…”

Recalling the scene where he was severely injured by the protective divine power and the frustration of being easily suppressed by that black-haired girl, Wilt nodded helplessly.

“I understand. Then what do you need us to do?”

“It’s very simple. I need you to help coordinate and block the reinforcements coming from the Red Lotus Leaf Empire and the Ashurmos Church in the south when the time comes.”

“Reinforcements? What reinforcements?”

“The reinforcements meant to support the Snownight Empire.”

“Support? Why would they suddenly need support?”

Hearing Xiao’s words, Wilt was momentarily filled with immense confusion, his dark green eyes brimming with bewilderment.

In response to Wilt’s question, Xiao gazed meaningfully toward the distant north and spoke slowly like a riddle-maker: “When they can no longer hold out, they will naturally seek help.”

Wilt: Hmm??

At the same time, in a small town not far from the Northern Frontier – Huiteiro Town.

After the plan to hijack the prisoner transport failed, Mengxi and Bai Yanluo had returned to this temporary base.

Inside a VIP room of a certain hotel.

Shedding her robes, Mengxi’s dazzling and stunningly beautiful body—smooth, tender, and possessing lines of exquisite grace that could take anyone’s breath away stood naked and upright in the bathroom, instantly filling the room with a radiant spring scene.

As the hot water poured down from above, the bloodstains and dirt on Mengxi’s delicate body were gradually washed away. While the dirt and stains could be rinsed off, the sense of loss in Mengxi’s heart remained deeply rooted…

After washing, Mengxi changed into a simple white nightgown and threw herself directly onto the large bed.

Mengxi had not yet recovered from the pain brought by the divine power backlash from before. Now, added to that was the exhaustion from today’s long journey. Her body was already worn out.

Under normal circumstances, she should have fallen asleep as soon as her head hit the pillow without any surprise. However, after tossing and turning on the bed for a long time, Mengxi still showed no signs of falling asleep…

At this moment, the silver-haired girl was filled with an indescribable sense of restlessness and heat. Drops of fragrant sweat gradually trickled down from her forehead, and as time passed, the agitation within her grew stronger, causing the girl to begin panting heavily.

Biting her pink lips tightly, Mengxi’s pale purple eyes were full of conflicted emotions.

‘Sister Yumo…’

Mengxi couldn’t help but think of the black-haired girl who had taken such meticulous care of her.

‘I really want to crawl into Sister Yumo’s arms, I really want to hold Sister Yumo, wuwuwu, Sister, where on earth did you go…’

Mengxi had always slept alone in the past, but her sleep quality had never been good because she always had to be on guard against assassins or those who would attempt a night raid with ill intentions. After all, due to her constitution, even within the church, there were people who could not control their wicked thoughts toward her. Therefore, in most cases, Mengxi had to stay wary of these people while sleeping.

However, after guarding herself for so long, she had long since grown used to it.

Yet ever since going to the Deepwinter Forest, a black-haired girl had appeared by Mengxi’s side. The other’s warm embrace, soft body, and pleasant scent all made Mengxi feel exceptionally comfortable and safe. Sleeping beside her was very secure. Even after the other party later disguised herself as a pink-haired girl, it was the same.

Moreover, whenever she slept with Sister Yumo every day, she would hold her and secretly absorb the Shadow Essence leaking from the other’s body. While this Shadow Essence allowed her strength to improve steadily, it also seemed to have brought her some strange side effects…

And that was, if she didn’t regularly replenish some Shadow Essence from Sister Yumo, her whole body would feel miserable…

Back when she was injured, although they slept separately at night, she would still use Sister Yumo as a body pillow to rest in the afternoon. But what about now? Since Sister Yumo was taken away, she hadn’t replenished that power for a long time…

“It hurts so much…”

Hugging the body pillow in her arms tightly, Mengxi’s eyes gradually became somewhat hazy.

‘Sister Yumo? Could it be that you intentionally pretended to be Yumo and let me secretly absorb your power just so you could take the opportunity to control me?’

Such a thought couldn’t help but pop into Mengxi’s small head. But soon, Mengxi shook her head and tossed this rather absurd idea out of her mind.

‘With Sister Yumo’s personality, she wouldn’t do such a low-handed thing.’

‘The current situation was entirely my own doing…’

It counts as a side effect of using Sister Yumo’s power to increase my strength.

‘I’m a little addicted…’

‘But~ If the object of the addiction is Sister Yumo, well~ it’s not unacceptable~’

Recalling Sister Yumo’s gentle strokes, her meticulous care, and that genuine concern that wasn’t influenced by Holy Spirit Power but came from the heart, a sweet smile appeared on Mengxi’s small face despite her physical discomfort.

But she just had to endure it for now…

It was easier thought than done, but as Mengxi tried to suppress the agitation within her, an unknown pain continued to stimulate her brain. It caused her to curl up her delicate body, her hands clutching the large bear pillow she was using as a substitute.

‘Seriously, I don’t even know where Sister Yumo has gone…’

‘The next time we meet, I must suck it all back with interest~’
