Chapter 71: Chapter 71
Originally,
Liyu had been staying in the little wooden house in the eastern part of the forest, directing nearby abyss demons to decorate the house while using the feathers her mother had sent to make a large bed...
She was also looking after the little girl her mother had sent back, the girl who slept within the crimson energy cocoon.
As one of the rare well-behaved and steady types around her mother, Liyu always took her mother's tasks very seriously and meticulously.
When the pink-haired little girl was brought to the cabin, Liyu skillfully wiped off the impurities on the energy cocoon and placed her into an icy spring...
While Liyu busied herself in the house,
The release of Limu's power made the little girl frown, her face bewildered as she looked towards the southern part of the winter forest.
Out of concern,
Liyu couldn't help but put down her work, spread her wings, and, surrounded by a whirlwind, dashed to the edge of the forest at a breathtaking speed, leaving her two pets behind.
Upon reaching the forest's edge, Liyu
Quickly noticed her silly sister fighting fiercely with Bai Yanluo.
Although she wanted to help beat up the Apostle of Heaven,
Liyu eventually suppressed her inner impulse.
After all, at this moment, Limu was in a state of power release, certainly with her mother's permission. If Liyu hadn't guessed wrong, their mother must have started another experiment, perhaps a one-on-one combat experiment. In that case, it would be inappropriate for her to intervene.
As a result,
Liyu could only sit atop a giant tree in the distance, silently watching the battle between Limu and Bai Yanluo, as well as the situation within Galros Fortress.
Until now...
When she saw Bai Yanluo gathering strength to attack her mother,
Feeling the spine-chilling power within Bai Yanluo's black sword, Liyu couldn't help but shudder...
Although she suspected that this was probably another one of her mother's experiments,
This time,
Liyu couldn't hold back...
--
In the blink of an eye!
Liyu, specialized in speed, transformed into a jade-colored light and thunderously rushed into Galros Fortress, reaching above Bai Yanluo!
"Li, Liyu?!"
Seeing this, Yumo couldn't help but let out a gasp of surprise and hurriedly tried to telepathically stop the girl's actions!
Alas,
Before her voice could even be heard,
The furious Liyu violently kicked Bai Yanluo!
"Don't you dare harm my mother!!!"
Accelerating while diving from the sky, coupled with the dense power of shadow around her legs, as well as her inherently powerful body as a Demon king, Liyu's speed undoubtedly reached an extreme level! Bai Yanluo, whose attention was entirely focused on Yumo, didn't notice this massive threat approaching.
As she was still daydreaming about defeating the black-haired girl, Liyu's attack was already imminent.
"Boom!!!"
Accompanied by a deafening explosion, the jade-colored power of shadow shattered Bai Yanluo's majestic sword qi surrounding her.
Under Yumo's complicated gaze,
Liyu's little foot kicked the back of Bai Yanluo's head.
Bai Yanluo: "Eh?!?!"
Bai Yanluo, taken by surprise with a heavy blow to the back of her head, saw stars and lost consciousness. Her entire body 'thud' fell onto the scorched earth! Her head was even embedded in the ground by Liyu's foot, making contact at a negative distance...
As Bai Yanluo couldn't get up again,
The vast power that had originally gathered on the black sword crumbled, turning into tiny white light particles that dissipated into the air.
Yumo: "..."
Watching the scene before her,
For a moment, Yumo stood dumbfounded, not knowing what to do as she lowered her gaze to her chest, the black sword on the ground, and Bai Yanluo, who was stuck in the ground like a radish in the distance...
Seriously,
It wasn't even about seeing whether the opponent could break her brick,
This experiment hadn't even successfully started!!
After playing the role of the villain for so long, how could it end like this?!
Disappointment spread rapidly. Yumo pouted unhappily and glared angrily at the little troublemaker who had suddenly appeared, preparing to teach her disobedient daughter a lesson!
"Eh?!"
However,
Before Yumo could scold her, the gray-haired girl leaped into her arms, tightly embracing Yumo's slender waist and burying her head in her chest.
Before Yumo could react to the situation, the worried and anxious words of the gray-haired girl suddenly reached her ears,
"Wahhh!! Mom, you're being too reckless! That white-haired woman is not an ordinary hero! She's an Apostle of Heaven! What if you really got hurt?! I don't want to see you get hurt! Wahhh, don't do that again, wahhh..."
" you promised....... promised not to, not to take risks, wahh."
"Now, why are you doing it again? If something happens to mom, what will my sisters and I do? Mom is bad, a really bad person, wahhh..."
"From now on, you can't, can't do this anymore."
"Li, Liyu..."
Looking at the little girl who was holding her and crying like a downpour, Yumo stood frozen once more.
The heart-wrenching cries instantly extinguished the anger in Yumo's mind.
The words of reprimand she had intended to spew out were swallowed back by Yumo. How could she scold the child who was crying so sadly? Moreover, this girl did this to protect her...
After gaining a basic understanding of her body's capabilities,
Yumo was well aware,
Bai Yanluo's full-strength attack couldn't possibly kill her; she just wanted to see how much damage it could do to her.
However,
Though she knew, it didn't mean that Liyu and the others knew.
From their perspective, Bai Yanluo's attack was undoubtedly fatal. Seeing their mother about to be hit by such a powerful strike, it was reasonable for them to worry.
"Sigh,"
It seemed that in the future,
Aside from the matters forbidden to disclose, she would have to talk to these children about other things.
With this in mind, Yumo slowly returned to her senses, her face showing a relieved expression. The displeasure in her crimson eyes from before had completely dissipated. Then, Yumo gently reached out, rubbed Liyu's little head, and spoke apologetically,
"I'm sorry, I won't act so recklessly again. Liyu, so stop crying..."
"Really, really won't be reckless again?"
"Really, I won't carelessly take on threatening attacks," Yumo said, feeling somewhat guilty.
"Okay...."
After hearing Yumo's words and feeling the gentleness in her mother's palm, Liyu gradually stopped crying and slowly released her tight grip around Yumo's waist. Then, Liyu looked up at Yumo with some embarrassment: "I'm sorry, Mother, I wet your clothes with my tears, and there's mud too."
"Ah, this?"
Looking down at the large wet spot on her chest and the mud splattered on her from Bai Yanluo's fall, Yumo shook her head unconcernedly,
"It's fine, I'll just change my clothes, and as for the mud? I'll wash it off."
"Then, can I bathe with Mother?"
"To-together?"
"Mhm."
Liyu nodded,
Facing her daughter's expectant eyes, the doting Yumo couldn't bear to refuse under these circumstances. She smiled and nodded slightly as Liyu watched her happily,
"Alright, as long as you like it."
"Mhm! Mother is the best!"
Liyu inadvertently revealed a sweet smile.
However,
As Liyu smiled contentedly, the little girl couldn't help but notice the silver figure lying on the ruins not far away. Suddenly, Liyu's jade-colored eyes narrowed, and she couldn't help but clench the hem of her skirt.
A subtle murderous intent emerged in Liyu's eyes.
Nevertheless,
Liyu quickly suppressed this murderous intent,
And pretended to innocently look at Yumo, asking 'curiously':
"Mother, who is that girl?"
