Volume 4, Chapter 37 – Meeting

Bringing Mihiel, Lucifa, and the other Fallen Angels with her, Tianyin quickly entered the territory that now belonged to Dawn.

However, because Dawn had grown stronger and stronger, its control over its own sphere of influence was no longer what it used to be.

The moment Tianyin and the others stepped into the border, they were spotted by vigilant Half-beast sentries. Immediately after, a Half-beast army tens of thousands strong swarmed over and surrounded them.

“Wait, wait… it’s me!”

As the leader of Dawn, Tianyin still stepped out in a very timely way.

But after seeing Tianyin’s figure, the faces of those Half-beast soldiers showed a trace of seriousness.

“You think just looking like our leader is enough to fool us? Stop underestimating people!”

And so, something Tianyin never would have expected happened. Even though she had already shown her true face, that Half-beast army still planned to just wipe out her entire group on the spot.

「Pft… Xiaoyin, are you an idiot or something…? In a situation like this, when you show up with this many Fallen Angels behind you, no normal person would believe who you say you are!」

While Tianyin was still surprised, Samael started laughing.

「The moment you’re about to get home, Xiaoyin, you suddenly get dumber~ Before this you gave me the feeling you’d really grown up, so it turns out that was just my imagination?…」

Samael’s teasing made Tianyin want nothing more than to find a crack in the ground and crawl into it…

『Samael, you’re so mean…』

「Alright, alright, I’ll stop teasing you, Xiaoyin. Think about it, is there anything you can use to prove who you are?」

For a moment, Tianyin really had no idea how she was supposed to prove her identity.

However, while Tianyin was over here trying to think of a solution, Mihiel had already started communicating with the Half-beast soldiers.

“We are the personal guard of Lord of Pride Lucifa. This time we descended here specifically by invitation, so we hope you’ll allow us to pass.”

Speaking of which, Tianyin’s impression of Mihiel earlier had been that she was reliable but not very easy to talk to.

But now it seemed Mihiel might actually be a fairly easygoing Fallen Angel?

“Who is this Lord of Pride Lucifa? Never heard of her. You Fallen Angels want to enter Dawn’s land without any authorization… there’s no way we’ll let you through.”

It had to be said that the conscientious attitude of the Half-beast soldiers before her made Tianyin very relieved.

Well… that said, the Half-beast army’s firm stance on not letting Tianyin through also left Tianyin with a big headache…

What do I do now?

She was clearly just about to go home, only to get blocked by her own soldiers, who were refusing to let her back in!

How was she supposed to solve this?

“Master, Master, Master!”

Just then, when Tianyin still didn’t know what to do, a cute, very familiar voice rang out from far away.

“Master, Master, you’re back, Master?”

Just from the voice, Tianyin knew it was her loli disciple Xiaomengyao, not to mention she kept calling out “Master, Master” nonstop in every sentence.

“Mm… Xiaomengyao?”

But hearing Xiaomengyao’s voice actually made Tianyin involuntarily confused.

“Wait, that’s not right… I never told anyone I was coming back, did I? How did they know?”

Tianyin never would have thought that as a Frost Dragon, Xiaobingxue not only possessed power on par with a Throne-tier, she also had a special ability that allowed her to sense Tianyin’s aura from thousands of kilometers away.

A bit later, Xiaomengyao flew right up to Tianyin. Only then did Tianyin realize the reason Xiaomengyao had gotten to her so quickly was because Xiaobingxue had carried her over.

“Wuu… Xiaomengyao… why are you here…”

“Master, Master, I missed you so much~”

Xiaomengyao did not feel like answering Tianyin’s question at all and just leapt at her.

Hugging Tianyin tight, Xiaomengyao, right in front of everyone, picked up the stately leader of Dawn just like that.

“Mm-hm, Master, Master, it’s been eleven days. How come Master hasn’t gotten any taller~? You know, I’ve already grown a whole centimeter!”

While she was hugging Tianyin, Xiaomengyao instantly got a grasp on Tianyin’s height value.

“Xiaoyin? Didn’t grow?”

Hearing Xiaomengyao’s words, Xiaobingxue came closer and stared curiously at Tianyin.

“W-Who-who-who says I didn’t grow! I definitely got a tiny bit taller too, okay!”

The silver-haired loli, whose race was literally “loli”, blurted out something even she did not really believe, her little face turning bright red.

“Pfft… Master’s blushing! Master is totally lying!”

Seeing Tianyin’s cute, flustered red face, Xiaomengyao’s expression was as delighted as if a prank had gone off perfectly.

“Xiaoyin… didn’t get taller.”

After carefully looking Tianyin over, Xiaobingxue delivered this verdict with a completely blank face.

And compared to Xiaomengyao, who just liked teasing her, Tianyin actually cared more about what Xiaobingxue said…

“Ahhh, no no, that’s not true, I totally got taller! I definitely did!”

Tianyin herself could not understand why she cared so much about her height, but because she couldn’t figure it out, she only cared even more.

“Um?”

While Tianyin, Xiaomengyao, and Xiaobingxue were talking, Mihiel, who was standing to the side, spoke up and cut into the warm little reunion between the three lolis.

“Even if the three of you meeting again is really touching, could you maybe save that conversation for later?”

No matter how warm and sweet the scene of three lolis reuniting was, there were still times and places for everything… like right now, for instance, when there were so many people all around watching…

“It’s, it’s Lady Mengyao and Lady Bingxue!”

At that moment, the Half-beasts finally snapped out of it and realized who Xiaomengyao and Xiaobingxue were.

“Wait… if Lady Mengyao and Lady Bingxue have both come, then she…”

The Half-beast looked at Tianyin, then seemed to realize something. At once, with a face full of guilt, she dropped to one knee in front of Tianyin.

“This subordinate… This subordinate actually dared to question the identity of Dawn’s supreme leader. For such a crime, I’m willing to pay with my life!”

“Eh, eh, eh… that’s really not necessary…”

Seeing that Half-beast girl genuinely looked like she planned to draw her sword and cut her own throat, Tianyin hurriedly intervened in a panic.

“It’s not necessary? Understood, then this subordinate will think of a more convenient way…”

“No, no… I don’t mean I want you to die…”

Tianyin looked completely helpless.

“What I mean is there’s no need for you to die… atonement with death and all that is totally unnecessary… All of this just shows how dutiful you are. How could I possibly blame you…”

“So what you meant was… it was just this subordinate overthinking things…!”

After she finally got the Half-beast calmed down, the very next second Xiaomengyao, standing right beside her, suddenly started grinding her teeth.

“Master… this cute girl… who is she?”
