vol. 1 chapter 16 - It's Hard to Refuse...... Or feed it
Pinching his own face and glancing at his slender, delicate hands, Bai Lianyue found himself at a complete loss for words.
It was obvious—
This new body felt completely wrong.
Sure, Bai Lianyue had lived for over a thousand years, but technically speaking… for most of that time, he had been in deep slumber. Even when awake, he had existed in a hazy, instinct-driven state, acting on sheer willpower and primal urges rather than rational thought.
If he counted up all the time he had spent acting fully aware, it wouldn’t even add up to two years.
So, strictly speaking—
Bai Lianyue still perceived himself as human.
And not just any human.
A strong, battle-hardened knight.
That was exactly why, when he had asked Lingxi to find him a body, he had wanted a tall, powerful physique—something handsome and muscular that suited his self-image.
If he was going to devour a corpse to inhabit it,
Then at least it should be one he was satisfied with.
...
And now?
This body?
It wasn’t just unsatisfactory—it was a total disappointment.
Forget about how the long, silken blue hair kept tickling his face—
The two lumps of flesh on his chest were an even bigger problem.
——"These damn things… so annoying."——
But the worst part…
His legs clamped together,
And as he felt the unsettling emptiness between them, Bai Lianyue bit his lip, utterly frustrated.
"This… this is just too weird."
However—
As much as the Earth Evil God had issues with his new body,
There was an even more urgent problem staring him in the face.
The two little girls demanding to be fed.
Looking at the twin girls—identical in every way except for their different-colored eyes—Bai Lianyue’s exquisite face stiffened into an awkward smile.
And the moment the girls saw ‘Mommy’ looking at them,
They eagerly continued their pleas:
"Mommy, milk!"
"Hungry!"
"Mm-mm, hungry!"
As they spoke, the two little cuties tugged at Bai Lianyue’s clothes relentlessly.
His eyebrow twitched.
Forget the fact that they were probably too old to still be drinking milk—
The act itself was something Bai Lianyue absolutely could not accept.
He had been a grown man for so long,
And now he was suddenly thrown into a woman’s body.
That alone was already unbearable.
And now, he was supposed to… breastfeed?!
No.
Just no.
That would completely crush his dignity as a warrior.
If his former comrades ever found out about this,
He might as well just crawl into the abyss and die.
So of course Bai Lianyue wanted to refuse.
But…
Looking at the pure, expectant gazes of the twin girls, he hesitated.
A conflicted expression slowly spread across his unreasonably beautiful face.
"Enmm..."
But before Bai Lianyue could make up his mind,
Aeria suddenly spoke up.
"Mia, Vya, stop that. Mommy just woke up. She's tired. Don't bother her."
As she spoke, Aeria stepped forward, gently pulling the two little ones away from Bai Lianyue.
…Huh?
She—
She also called me Mommy?
Bai Lianyue blinked in shock, his gaze snapping toward Aeria.
And what he saw—
Was a small face twisted in deep reluctance… and unease.
The twins might not have realized the truth.
But Aeria knew.
She knew.
The person before them was not their mother.
This was a fraud.
An Evil God’s disguise.
Their real mother—
Had already been killed by this monster.
The sight of this murderous demon wearing her mother’s face, tricking her innocent younger sisters—
It made Aeria’s blood boil.
Deep inside,
She wanted nothing more than to tear her sisters away from this abomination.
But…
Looking at how happy, how genuinely overjoyed they were,
How they snuggled against ‘Gaia Lobil’ without a single trace of fear,
Aeria wavered.
Because—
Ever since her birthday six months ago,
Their mother had stopped treating them affectionately.
Mia and Vya had been heartbroken.
For months,
They had longed for their mother’s touch—only to be ignored.
And now—
‘Mommy’ was finally paying attention to them.
If Aeria told them the truth right now—
——"That is not our mother. Our mother was killed by this monster!"——
Wouldn't that be…
Too cruel?
That was why, when Aeria saw her younger sisters clinging to the Earth Evil God, she hesitated. In the end, when she realized that Gaia Lobil didn’t seem to have any hostility toward them and wasn’t releasing that deadly curse energy, Aeria chose to stay silent and simply observe for now. She decided to let her sisters enjoy this rare moment of being with ‘Mommy’ again.
However, when she saw her sisters insistently asking Bai Lianyue for milk, Aeria could no longer sit still.
After all, she had already noticed the look of discomfort and rejection on the Earth Evil God’s face. Even though this thing had been acting strangely earlier, as if it wanted to get close to them, its nature wouldn’t change…
An Evil God was still an Evil God.
Cruelty and bloodlust were in their nature.
What if her sisters’ behavior angered it?
The consequences would be unimaginable.
And besides…
The milk of an Evil God?
Even if it did have milk… who in their right mind would dare drink it?
Who knew what kind of abomination was in there?!
With that thought in mind, Aeria immediately tried to pull her sisters away from Bai Lianyue.
However, with their innocent and simple minds, how could the two little girls possibly understand their big sister’s concerns?
All they knew was that they were hungry and wanted milk.
And their big sister was trying to stop them from enjoying something delicious.
Faced with such injustice, their reaction was immediate.
“Waaah…”
The next moment, under Aeria’s increasingly exasperated gaze, Mia and Vya pouted in unison, their big, clear eyes welling up with tears.
They had no idea how long it had been since they last saw Mommy.
And now that they had finally found her, there was no way they were going to leave.
“Waaah, no! No! No!!”
“Big Sister is a meanie!”
“Hungry!”
“Want milk! Waaahhh!”
…
In an instant, the entire courtyard was filled with the loud, wailing cries of two stubborn little girls.
If you are reading this translation anywhere other than .net or SilkRoadTL, it has been stolen.
They had no intention of listening to Aeria and instead fought to wiggle out of her grip, struggling their way back into Bai Lianyue’s arms.
“Hey! You two, stop that!”
Aeria was getting more and more anxious, directly stepping forward and grabbing her two sisters by their clothes, trying to pull them back into her embrace.
“Mommy is tired! Listen to me!”
“Nooo! Nooo!!”
“Big Sister is a meanie! Waaahhh!”
“Meanie! Waaahhh!”
…
And just like that, right in front of Bai Lianyue, Aeria and the twin girls descended into a full-blown tug-of-war.
For a moment, the entire scene turned into utter chaos.
“……”
Watching the mess unfold before him, Bai Lianyue fell into silence, his expression complicated as he observed the two little girls throwing a fit.
Logically speaking, if Aeria could successfully drag the twins away and spare him from this embarrassing situation, it wouldn’t be a bad thing.
He should have been relieved.
But when he noticed the teary-eyed, pitiful expressions of the two little girls, he hesitated.
For a brief moment, as he looked into their pleading gazes, a strange feeling flickered through his heart.
Not only that—
Through these twin girls, Bai Lianyue suddenly saw something else.
A faint memory stirred in the depths of his mind, and a familiar voice from long ago echoed in his ears.
——“Waaahhh, Xingwu wants fooood! Xingwu wants fooood! Waaahhh! Bad Daddy… waaahhh…!”——
…
Sigh…
—
On the other side, Aeria was growing more and more frustrated as she desperately pulled at her sisters.
Hey!!
Can’t you two just listen to me for once?!
If they pushed that thing too far, it could wipe them all out in an instant!
Aeria knew that the strong had their pride.
Even an Evil God would have its own sense of dignity.
(…Even if it didn’t seem to have much of a brain.)
Forcing a monstrous being to breastfeed two random kids—
That was insanity.
There was no way the Evil God would allow it.
If they kept pushing,
If they kept angering it—
Then…
“Waaahhh, why won’t you listen to me?!”
For the first time, even Aeria felt on the verge of tears.
But just as she was reaching her limit,
A completely unexpected voice reached her ears.
——“Mommy is a little tired… but feeding Mia and Vya first should be fine.”——
…???
Aeria: Huh?!
