Volume 3, Chapter 29 – The Breeding Threat

Suppressing the restlessness in her heart was clearly no easy task. Whether it was cold showers, distracting herself with cultivation, or doing something more stimulating to suppress the strange sensation within her, the effects were minimal. Adapting to life without Sister Yumo would likely take some time, as it felt like going through withdrawal.

“Seriously, this is agonizing!”

In her frustration, Mengxi exerted sudden force, and the holy magic that had been surging within her for a long time finally erupted. In an instant, the large bear plushie in her arms became the unfortunate target of her frustration, its head and body torn apart as cotton scattered across the floor. The silver light of the explosion swept through the entire room.

The sudden tremors caused the guards from the Ashurmos Church stationed in the hotel to look uneasy. One young warrior rushed toward Mengxi’s bedroom with a pounding heart, shouting, “Miss Mengxi! Are you alright? Is there an assassin?”

Out of concern, the warrior gripped his weapon and burst into the room. In the next moment, a pair of bare, translucent, and peerless legs appeared before him, causing his blood to pump and his face to flush crimson. However, before he could even react, a small foot rapidly expanded in his vision.

Boom!

With a loud crash, the young warrior was sent flying back, smashing through the far wall and landing in the stables on the first floor where he fainted, foaming at the mouth. The images he had just recorded in his mind vanished along with his consciousness.

Although the warrior meant well, he had clearly chosen the wrong time to enter and nearly saw things he shouldn’t have. After putting on a robe to cover her exposed body, Mengxi cast an apologetic glance toward where the warrior had fallen. At the same time, she bit her lip with a complicated expression. It seemed this restlessness not only dulled her senses but also made her temper a bit shorter.

“Sigh, at least things are better during the day…” Mengxi sighed repeatedly.

Just then, another beautiful white-haired girl wearing glasses and a lounging robe stepped out of her room after hearing the commotion. She wandered into Mengxi’s bedroom and glanced curiously at the hole the young warrior had left in the wall. The white-haired girl, Miss Bai Yanluo, raised her eyebrows playfully. “What’s wrong, Mengxi? Why so irritable late at night?”

“Sorry, Sister Bai. I lost control for a moment.”

“Hmm?” Detecting the oddity in the silver-haired girl’s tone, Bai Yanluo curiously examined the beautiful girl before her, who was currently drenched in a light sweat. “Aren’t you exhausted? Why can’t you sleep?”

“I’m not used to it.”

“Not used to what?”

“I don’t have a body pillow…”

Glancing at the mangled remains of the poor bear plushie on the floor, Bai Yanluo asked in confusion, “Wasn’t that bear your pillow?”

Mengxi shook her head decisively. “That kind won’t do…”

“The… the body pillow you’re thinking of, it wouldn’t happen to be that pink-haired girl, would it? You can’t sleep without holding her?” As she spoke, Bai Yanluo slowly closed the door to the room. “No answer? I’ll take that as a yes.”

Looking at the silent silver-haired girl, Bai Yanluo took off her glasses and sighed helplessly. “She’s just an ordinary little girl. Is it really necessary to go this far? You even went through the trouble of hijacking a prison carriage for her. You haven’t even known her that long, have you? Lately, you’re thinking about her every day and can’t sleep without holding her… Hmm, you haven’t developed some strange ideas about that girl, have you?”

Recalling Mengxi’s recent attitude whenever the pink-haired girl was mentioned, Bai Yanluo’s voice carried a hint of suspicion.

“What strange ideas?” Mengxi asked with a tilt of her head.

“Sigh, it seems you aren’t very clear on it yourself. It’s… well, complicated to explain. But you can look at this…” After a moment of thought, a flash of pure white light emanated from Bai Yanluo’s hand. She retrieved a book decorated with rose patterns from her spatial ring and handed it to Mengxi. “Take some time to read this, and you’ll understand…”

“Hmm?” Mengxi took the book suspiciously. After seeing the title and the ‘Adults Only’ tag in the bottom right corner, her gaze became strange. “This… The Secret Garden of the Noble Girls’ Academy … Sister Bai, is this the kind of book you usually read in secret?”

“Hey! Don’t talk nonsense! Am I that kind of person?! And… don’t look at me like that! I’m doing this to help you!” Besides, maybe I can find a like-minded companion… Bai Yanluo covered her mouth, hiding a peculiar smile. “If this book is discovered, don’t say I gave it to you! I have a reputation to maintain~”

“Alright, I get it.” After a slight nod, Mengxi tucked the book into her own spatial ring. She then looked at Bai Yanluo curiously. “Are you still wearing your glasses? Are you still busy this late? You weren’t reading novels like this, were you?”

“What are you thinking? I’m working. Besides, I’m an eighth tier sword god; I don’t need sleep. Working late at night is perfectly normal.”

“Working?” Mengxi raised an eyebrow. Since she couldn’t sleep anyway, she figured she might as well chat. “What are you busy with so late at night?”

“Oh? You’re actually interested in this? That’s rare.”

“I’m just bored, so I asked.”

“Sigh, fine. What else could it be? It’s those two Heroes, Arela and Kabane. Those two were supposed to protect you, but they disappeared so mysteriously that I have to investigate.” Recalling the mission given to her by the Bishop, a trace of exhaustion appeared in Bai Yanluo’s azure eyes.

“So, is there any news?”

“Not yet.”

“Are they… dead?”

“Even if they are dead, I have to track them down. The Bishop’s orders are to find them alive or find their bodies. However, Kabane is indeed dead; his soul gem has shattered. The problem is, Arela is still alive. It’s just that the state of her soul gem is very strange.”

“Strange?”

“Yes…” At this point, Bai Yanluo’s expression became grave and perplexed. “Arela’s soul power is currently fluctuating between being incredibly strong and incredibly weak; it’s very strange. You should know that soul fluctuations only become this bizarre in one situation…”

“What situation?”

“When a woman… well, when she’s giving birth…”

“What?” Mengxi was instantly confused. “But in that situation…”

“Sigh, given Arela’s degenerate private life, it wouldn’t be strange if she had an illegitimate child. But after giving birth, it should be over. Why does it keep repeating? It’s truly bizarre…”

On the other side, in the middle of the Deepwinter Forest, at the bottom of the Ice Soul Lake.

Accompanied by the repeated groans of a woman in pain and surrounded by blue-gold light, Shuoyue, with her beautiful long blue hair, drifted through the bone-chilling lake water into an underwater cavern. Floating in mid-air, she looked down at the scene below and revealed a very satisfied smile.

“They’ve hatched~”

Below her, dense masses of pale-blue ‘liquid’ were constantly writhing, and terrifying roars echoed from below from time to time. Anyone with trypophobia would likely claw their eyes out at the sight. Upon closer inspection, one would realize that this writhing pale-blue liquid was actually composed of tens of thousands of eyeless Abyssal Demons with long tails and sharp claws. To some extent, the heads of these Abyssal Demons bore a striking resemblance to humans.

In the next moment, following a ripple of blue-gold light, dozens of dead, massive magical beasts appeared beside Shuoyue. She dropped the beasts directly into the sea of Abyssal Demons below.

Instantly, the sea boiled as the hungry little darlings rushed forward. The dozens of massive magical beasts were reduced to bleached bones in moments, and even the bones were gradually chewed into nothingness by the Abyssal Demons.

Seeing this, the smile on Shuoyue’s face grew even more radiant, yet it carried a hint of cruelty.

‘Hehe, grow up quickly, my little darlings~’
