Volume 3, Chapter 103 – Miss Mengxi, Who Wants to Laugh a Little

Through the internal methods of the Sunlight members, Miss Mengxi hurried toward the direction of Bai Yanluo. Mengxi’s intention was simple: to prevent a conflict between Bai Yanluo and Sister Yumo.

When the silver-haired girl crested a high slope and reached the ruins of what was once the Grand Court, her expression shifted drastically at the sight before her.

At this moment, atop the ruins and flames, a beautiful black-haired girl was dancing with her graceful figure, engaged in a fierce ‘battle’ with four hideous Abyssal Demons. The Abyssal Demons launched one ‘furious assault’ after another against the black-haired girl while she narrowly ‘escaped’ their attacks time and again with many close calls.

The battle continued to escalate.

Terrifying Shadow Essence erupted across the ruins as the black-haired girl exerted her ‘magic power’ to the fullest, using her excellent martial arts to contend with three peak sixth tier Abyssal Demons. In an instant, black light splattered across the rubble as the sounds of explosions and the spine-chilling roars of the Abyssal Demons rang out continuously, making anyone who heard them shudder.

If anyone else were present, they would surely have been terrified for the girl’s safety due to these heart-stopping scenes.

However, Mengxi, who was present, did not show a worried expression but instead fell into a strange silence, quietly watching the battle on the ruins and the black-haired girl who was ‘struggling’ so hard.

‘…’

Fortunately, in the end, accompanied by a thunderous roar that seemed to pierce the clouds and a tidal wave of azure ‘magic power’ that erupted like a collapsing mountain, the black-haired girl seized a ‘coincidental’ gap in the Abyssal Demons’ attacks. She launched a counterattack, striking one demon squarely in the face with her fist! Her magic followed immediately, abruptly blasting the defenseless abdomens of the other two demons.

“Awaaaaaaaah!!”

(Ah~ I’m dead~)

Accompanied by the ‘shrill’ screams of the Abyssal Demons, these three brutal and terrifying creatures were sent flying by the black-haired girl’s ‘self-sacrificing’ attack, crashing violently into a burning street in the distance. Then, there was no more ‘movement,, as if they had been defeated by her attack.

Defeating three terrifying sixth tier peak Abyssal Demons should have been a cause for celebration.

However, as Miss Mengxi took all this in, her face remained impassive while her heart was clouded by an inexplicable sense of awkwardness…

‘Uh…’

If it were anyone else, they might have cheered for the black-haired girl’s victory. But Mengxi, knowing her true identity, couldn’t help but feel her brow twitch.

‘Sister Yumo, what exactly are you doing??’

‘Sister Yumo, you are a demon king tier existence, so how could you possibly be hit by Abyssal Demons?’

‘Hmm, could she be acting for me? Is she afraid I’ll get suspicious if I see her here perfectly safe? Well, that must be it. Otherwise, Sister Yumo wouldn’t have started this bizarre self-directed performance for no reason…’

‘Even though Sister Yumo’s acting was quite realistic, still…’

‘Pfft~’

Knowing the truth and seeing Sister Yumo putting on such a serious act, Mengxi couldn’t help but cover her mouth with her hand, trying her best to stifle her laughter…

‘No, I can’t laugh, or the act will be ruined…’

On the other side, Miss Yumo, who believed her performance was flawless, felt a chill run down her spine after she dropped her stance. She felt like she was being watched by a strange gaze.

Feeling puzzled, Yumo turned her head to look at Mengxi on the ruins not far behind her. By the time Yumo looked over, the awkwardness and strangeness on the silver-haired girl’s face had long since vanished, replaced by deep ‘worry’ and ‘shock’. Seeing Yumo’s gaze move toward her, the silver-haired girl immediately leapt down from the ruins ‘anxiously’ and ran toward her in a hurry.

“Sister Yu! Are you okay!”

Seeing Mengxi’s concerned eyes and hearing the silver-haired girl’s worried words, Yumo felt a warmth spread through her heart. Even though it was her own self-directed performance, being cared for by Mengxi felt quite nice~

‘Hee hee~’

Besides, since she looks so worried, she probably didn’t notice anything wrong. It seems my acting skills are pretty good. Miss Yumo was very satisfied with herself.

Mengxi: …

After her moment of satisfaction, Yumo also feigned a shocked, unexpected expression, even letting out a cry of surprise.

“Mengxi? Why are you here?”

At the same moment she asked, Mengxi arrived at Yumo’s side and without a word, she grasped Yumo’s soft little hand and pressed it directly against her own chest, saying with concern, “I came to find Sister Bai… oh, I mean the Apostle. No… that’s not important! What’s important is, Sister Yu, why are you here? Did you get hurt in that fight just now!”

“As for me, I’m fine, don’t worry.”

“Is… is that true?”

“It’s true, don’t worry about me, little girl.”

Watching the silver-haired girl constantly check her for injuries, the corners of Yumo’s mouth curved up slightly into a doting smile. To soothe the ‘unsettled’ girl, Yumo slowly raised her hand and gently stroked Mengxi’s head. Under Yumo’s touch, Mengxi calmed down and then looked around with some curiosity.

“By the way, Sister Yu, have you seen the Apostle from our church?”

“The Apostle? Do you mean Miss Bai?”

“Yes, I was using the soul gem to track Sister Bai’s aura to this place. But…” Mengxi showed a confused look. “But… Sister Bai’s aura suddenly… hmm, vanished here. Sister Yu, did you see the Apostle just now?”

Mengxi asked Yumo with a look of ‘sincerity.’

“Uh…”

At that question, Miss Yumo guiltily glanced toward the ruins nearby out of the corner of her eye. “No… I didn’t see her? Mengxi, could you be mistaken?”

Although the movement was almost instantaneous, it was caught by the sharp Mengxi. Then, the silver-haired girl looked thoughtfully toward the ruins. Indeed, from its appearance and the aura it gave off, it looked like ordinary rubble with nothing special about it… But upon closer inspection, one would find some anomalies.

While the surrounding area was filled with broken bricks and tiles, that particular pile of ruins had many relatively intact and massive building fragments, almost as if someone had deliberately piled them up. The ground was covered in the severed limbs of Abyssal Demons or humans, but this spot had none. More importantly, there were several strands of white hair near those ruins. And this hair clearly belonged to Sister Bai…

‘Did Sister Bai just clash with Sister Yumo?’

At this moment, everything Yumo had tried so hard to hide was known to Mengxi. However, the considerate silver-haired girl had no intention of exposing Sister Yumo’s lie. After all, Mengxi knew very well that Sister Yumo planned to train her to fight Abyssal Demons in the future. Someone like Sister Bai, who could become an ally, was not someone Sister Yumo would harm. At most, she would just knock her out.

The robust life force coming from Sister Bai’s Life soul gem also confirmed this. Sister Bai must have charged in like a hothead, wanting to deal with that demon king tier girl from the Duke Family, only to be caught by Sister Yumo and knocked unconscious. The reason her presence couldn’t be sensed now was probably Sister Yumo’s doing. After thinking for a moment, Mengxi narrowed her pale violet eyes and reached this conclusion. In that case, there was no need to dwell on it since Bai Yanluo was simply knocked out and buried under the rubble, so there was nothing to worry about~

?!!

However, just as Miss Mengxi was about to use this topic to tease her adorable Sister Yumo, Yumo suddenly reached out and grabbed Mengxi’s soft hand.

?!

“Eh? Sister Yu?”

“Quick! It’s, it’s dangerous here! We have to leave! Abyssal Demons are rushing this way!!”

Yumo didn’t answer Mengxi’s question but spoke with great urgency. She suddenly erupted with a surge of powerful magic power and began pulling Mengxi away from the area! Not far away, hundreds of Abyssal Demons were swirling in thick black mist, charging toward the two of them with a ‘murderous’ momentum…

Witnessing this, and seeing Sister Yumo’s solemn expression as if facing a great enemy along with the group of Abyssal Demons putting on an act as they charged over, Mengxi gave a playful smile.

‘Sister Yumo~ your acting is so cute~’

These Abyssal Demons were likely called over by Sister Yumo to resolve the situation. Sister Yumo wasn’t stupid; she was anxious to take Mengxi away probably because she noticed her disguise of the ruins had failed and wanted to leave before Mengxi noticed. Additionally, she wanted to prevent further contact between Mengxi and the demon king tier girl of the Duke Family…

‘Sigh… Sister Yumo’s thoughts are so easy to guess. Since they are so easy to guess, she must be easily deceived by others too. She might be tricked away by someone at any time. To prevent that from happening, it’s better for me to strike first…’

Letting Yumo pull her along as they ran, Mengxi pursed her lips thoughtfully.
