Volume 2, Chapter 20 – Mother-Daughter Interaction

Translator Note

I swear I had something I wanted to say here. Being forgetful is pain… 1 chapter unlocked

“Mother?!”

“Mother? Why are you here?!”

Seeing Yumo’s arrival, Li Yu asked curiously while temporarily stopping her task of helping her sister apply medicine.

Li Mo didn’t mind the interruption because the moment she saw Yumo arrive, her little face turned red and she hurriedly scrambled up from the ground.

Although she was usually a bit silly, Li Mo knew that her current posture was truly not very elegant.

Thus, the wolf girl rose in a hurry and pulled down her skirt to cover her bruise-covered little bottom.

“M-Mother.”

Seemingly still remembering the experience of being lectured last night, there was a slight hint of fear in Li Mo’s voice.

Looking at the timid little white wolf who was currently going commando, Yumo couldn’t help but sigh.

Perhaps she had been a bit too harsh last night.

Thinking of this, Yumo revealed a slight look of pity and reached out to gently stroke Li Mo’s head and her fluffy, cute ears.

“Does it still hurt?”

“It hurts…” The wolf cub lowered her ears aggrievedly.

In truth, the wolf cub was quite tall, even taller than Yumo, so stroking a daughter taller than herself always made Yumo feel a bit strange.

“Sigh…” After a slow sigh, a burst of crimson light gradually seeped out from Yumo’s body and surged toward the spatial ring on her index finger.

“Fine, I won’t give you the thirty hits I owed you from yesterday.”

As she spoke, an exquisite glass bottle emerged from the spatial ring. This was undoubtedly the healing holy medicine of the Elven Race, Tears of Nature.

Yumo then tossed the full bottle of healing medicine into Li Yu’s hands. “Apply this to your sister later.”

Li Yu obediently took the potion and nodded. “Understood, Mother.”

“Meow?!” Upon hearing Yumo’s words, Li Mo’s drooping wolf ears suddenly perked up.

She then looked at Yumo with delight and excitement. “Really? I don’t have to take the rest of the hits?”

“No need,” Yumo chuckled inwardly, as she had only been trying to scare her anyway.

After receiving her mother’s affirmation, the pain on Li Mo’s bottom was instantly swept away! The wolf cub, who had been listless just a moment ago, was suddenly revitalized and began jumping for joy.

“Woohoo!! No more beatings!”

This scene caused Li Yu, who was standing behind her, to uncontrollably facepalm with a look of speechlessness.

‘Sister, you’re exposing yourself… Sigh, at least there’s no one else here.’

Of course, the happy Li Mo couldn’t possibly notice such details.

However, it seemed the shelf life of little Li Mo’s happiness was not very long.

In the next instant, Yumo’s leisurely voice drifted into Li Mo’s ears, causing the latter to tremble violently.

“However, while you won’t be hit on the bottom anymore, your mental education must continue~”

?!!

Meow?!

Hearing this, Li Mo’s expression changed drastically, the joy on her face vanished instantly, and her little bottom began to throb again. The wolf girl suddenly took on a mournful look, gazing piteously at Yumo with eyes like an abandoned puppy.

“Mother, please don’t!”

“No~” Yumo expressed her denial with a ‘heart of stone’.

Hearing her mother’s unquestionable tone, Li Mo knew that acting cute was useless, so she hung her head and stared gloomily at the floor.

Her sister Li Yu couldn’t help but sigh at the sight.

‘Silly sister, if you had continued to act pitiful just now, Mother might have softened her heart and exempted you from the mental education too. Sigh… You’re still too green.’

After casting a sympathetic look at her silly sister, Li Yu looked toward the black-haired girl who was interacting with three seventh tier Abyssal Demons. “Mother, why did you come over so suddenly?”

“Well, about that,” Yumo, who was stroking the head of the Ghost Bone Dragon, smiled slightly before tilting her head playfully. “A certain little one has woken up, so isn’t it normal for me to come and take a look? Isn’t that right, little Shuoyue?”

As Yumo’s voice fell, the previously empty ceiling suddenly underwent a strange distortion! Surrounded by a burst of blue-gold Shadow Essence, ripples like water suddenly emanated from the stone wall.

In the next instant, under Yumo’s ‘as expected’ gaze, a beautiful and cute blue-haired girl dressed in a water-blue dress appeared on the ceiling.

“Mommy!”

The blue-haired girl, Shuoyue, suddenly swept away her usual sleepiness. Surrounded by countless dew drops, she leapt down from above and hung excitedly onto Yumo’s neck, affectionately rubbing her face against Yumo’s chest.

“Heehee, Mommy’s human form is so comfortable to rub against.”

“Oh, as long as you like it,” Yumo smiled and patted the little one’s cute head.

“Heehee, no matter what Mommy turns into, Shuoyue likes it. Ugh, but I was actually discovered by Mommy, what a shame. I wanted to sneak attack and hug Mommy from behind to give Mommy a surprise!” There seemed to be a touch of regret in Shuoyue’s tone.

To this, Yumo shook her head helplessly. “You little girl, you want to sneak attack me? You underestimate me too much~”

Yumo spoke jokingly while raising her hand to scratch Shuoyue’s pert nose. “By the way, you little girl, why did you wake up so suddenly?”

Staring into Shuoyue’s pale gold eyes and looking at the beautiful golden rose at the girl’s right eye, Yumo asked curiously.

Unlike Li Mo and Li Yu, Shuoyue’s true form was somewhat special. She was not a magical beast or a spirit beast, but a spiritual life form.

Fenghua Shuoyue’s true form was a rare spiritual life form called a Dream Fairy that resided in the hearts of others, and she was even said to be a descendant of the Dream God.

After being born from a golden rose, these Dream Fairies would attach themselves to other creatures, drawing nutrients from the host’s dreams to survive and accumulating power to manifest in physical form.

However, they would not harm the host while drawing nutrients; instead, they would increase the host’s soul power bit by bit.

Precisely because of this, Dream Fairies became highly sought after on the Ancheka Continent, and countless people wanting to cultivate their soul power began trying to capture them. The golden roses that could give birth to Dream Fairies were subsequently destroyed on a large scale. It was said that sixty years ago, there were no more golden roses on the Ancheka Continent.

Before becoming a demon king tier Abyssal Demon, Shuoyue, like most infant Dream Fairies, had no physical form. She was locked inside the body of a Hero from the Ashurmos Church to help him train his soul power. When that Hero was bitten to death by Li Mo, the dying Shuoyue appeared before Yumo.

Driven by curiosity, Yumo back then had bestowed a small portion of her power upon this dying Dream Fairy. Thus, the current demon king tier Abyssal Demon – Nightmare was created. However, because Shuoyue often went to human society to ‘play’ recently, she seemed to have gained titles like ‘Master of Dreams’ and ‘Dream Deity’ in human society, which sounded a bit chuunibyou.

But no matter what, she was considered a very ‘obedient’ and good child.

Additionally, because she retained the sleep-loving trait of Dream Fairies, Shuoyue spent most of her time in slumber since her birth. Generally, she wouldn’t wake up without sleeping for several decades.

And this time, this girl seemed to have only slept for six or seven years. Yumo had originally thought she would sleep for another dozen years or so, so why did she wake up so early?

Thinking of this, Yumo revealed a hint of confusion.

To this, Shuoyue smiled sweetly and slowly floated up, continuing to affectionately rub her cheek against Yumo’s.

“Wuuu, waking up early was of course to see Mommy! You’ve turned into a human and didn’t even tell me! Shuoyue would be unhappy~”

“Sorry, sorry, I was just afraid of disturbing your rest. Don’t be unhappy.”

“Wuuu, alright then, I accept Mommy’s apology.” Shuoyue nodded with total happiness.

To this, Yumo’s crimson eyes also showed a very satisfied emotion.

“Since you’re awake, Shuoyue, you can help me solve a rather troublesome problem. Hmm, actually, if you hadn’t woken up, I was planning to go find you directly.”

“Hmm?” Hearing this, Shuoyue tilted her head and looked curiously at her mother. “What does Mommy need? Can Shuoyue help?”

“Yes~” Yumo chuckled.

The black-haired girl then looked thoughtfully toward the white-haired woman locked onto the stone wall not far away.

“I need you to… help me tamper with her mind~”
