The Goddess, Please Devour the Evil Deity!

For humans,
Only powerful individuals above the level of a Heaven’s Decree Knight, such as those of that caliber, would have a chance to withstand the corruption of miasma.

And here I am, just a little kid at two tiers...
If I touch the miasma, I’ll die for sure.
Since the area is filled with dense miasma, how was I brought in by the Earth Evil God? Does the Earth Evil God have a way to block the miasma, or is there some other method?

Looking at the apple in Lingxi's hand and recalling how the pink octopus had suddenly pulled out the apple earlier, a bold guess gradually formed in Aeria's mind.
However,
Just as Aeria was deep in thought, the pink octopus, still munching on the apple, slightly regained its senses and noticed Aeria staring at it.

But,
The pink octopus squinted its eyes, and a flicker of displeasure passed through its crimson pupils.
— “What are you looking at? Never seen a handsome octopus before!” —

With the sign raised, Lingxi immediately went into high-speed munching mode, and in just a few moments, devoured the apple completely.
After that,
Without saying a word, the pink octopus tossed the apple core directly at Aeria.

“Clink!”
With a crisp sound, the apple core hit Aeria squarely on the head.
"Ah!"

Aeria, struck by the apple core, clutched her head in pain.
Seeing this,
The pink octopus sneered.

Can’t even handle this little pain?
Heh,
Pathetic~
...

However, just as Lingxi smugly licked its lips, watching Aeria’s awkward appearance and preparing to grab another apple, the pink octopus suddenly sensed something was off.
Hmm?
Wait?

What happened to the two little brats hiding behind that girl?
In this moment, Lingxi realized that Aeria’s sisters had vanished without her noticing, and she couldn’t find the twins anywhere.
Facing this,

The pink octopus blinked in confusion, quickly starting to search around.
But,
Before Lingxi could use her sensing field, she suddenly felt an unfamiliar aura.

Although the aura was faint, for some reason... this aura made Lingxi instinctively shiver.
“Ying ying?!” (Who’s there!)
In the next moment,

Lingxi immediately turned her head to look in the direction of the aura’s source.
Then,
The pink octopus saw two pairs of jewel-like eyes, sparkling with curiosity and mischief.

Yes, Mia and Vya, the twin sisters, were standing behind the pink octopus. They wore simple clothes, with their silver hair flowing in the wind, their faces radiating unrestrained excitement and playfulness.
“Wow, what’s this?”
“Ying?”

Before the pink octopus could react,
Mia eagerly laughed and reached out, grabbing one of the pink octopus’s tentacles, while her other hand pulled at another tentacle.
If you are reading this translation anywhere other than .net or SilkRoadTL, it has been stolen.

Seeing her sister take action,
Vya, also driven by curiosity, quickly followed suit, grabbing both of the octopus’s tentacles and tugging at them playfully.
In an instant,

“Ying ying?!!” (What are you doing?!)
The pink octopus cried out in panic, its small eyes widening in surprise, clearly unprepared for this sudden "affection."
However,

The more the pink octopus cried out,
The more interested the twin sisters became.
“Is this a new toy? It’s soft, feels so nice, and it even makes noises?”

“Mm, it’s so soft.”
And so,
The two girls mercilessly tugged and pulled at the pink octopus, at times lifting it up, at times hanging it upside down in the air, letting its tentacles flap around like a wrung-out cloth.

Lingxi struggled desperately, making protesting ‘Ying ying’ sounds, now completely reduced to a toy for the children, being tossed and turned without mercy.
— “Damn!! You two brats, don’t get too cocky! Let go of me!” —
Faced with the "torment" from the two girls, the pink octopus cursed angrily in her mind.

She,
Really wanted to snap and teach these two a lesson.
But, upon remembering her boss’s orders, the pink octopus hesitated. After all, these little ones were far too fragile. If she applied too much force, she might accidentally end their lives.

And then?
How would she explain it to the boss?
Thinking this, Lingxi reluctantly suppressed her cursed energy.

Without using cursed energy, the only thing Lingxi could do was continue protesting with ‘Ying ying’. At that moment, she even forgot the "rule" she had set for herself not to speak to humans.
“Ying ying!!” (You little brats!! Do you know who I am?! What you’re doing is going to cost you!!)
The pink octopus shouted.

Unfortunately,
Mia and Vya, of course, didn’t understand her words.
Moreover, with the constant screeching in their ears, the twins grew more and more excited by their new “toy.” They kept tugging and shaking, making Lingxi’s head spin.

The entire octopus was on the verge of throwing up from the relentless teasing.
You,
You two,

You little brats!
Wait until I get my hands on you!!!
Hmm?

Ugh...
Ugh, ugh, ugh, ugh, ugh...
...

While the twin sisters were toying with Lingxi, more than a thousand meters away from the cave, in a grassy overgrown area, Bai Lianyue’s ears twitched slightly as she glanced curiously in the direction of Aeria and the others.
Hmm?
What’s with Lingxi suddenly acting so strange, calling out like that?

Is she already begging for mercy?
Hmm, it looks like she’s already gotten friendly with those little brats so quickly, huh?
Shrugging casually, Bai Lianyue turned her attention back to the present situation. In her emerald-colored eyes, she saw a three-story, moss-covered building.

Although the building had fallen into ruin due to past wars and the passage of time, at least... it still had a shape, making it the most intact building in this area of the Lily Valley.
The reason Bai Lianyue had come here was simple: to turn it into a proper home.
As for the purpose,

Of course, it was for Aeria and the others to live in.
After all, it wasn’t right to keep them living in a cold, drafty cave, and winter was fast approaching.
Thinking about the cruel things she had done, killing their mother, ignoring their teacher’s death, and intimidating them, Bai Lianyue felt a pang of guilt in her heart and began to think about making it up to them.

How to make it up?
Bai Lianyue wasn’t quite sure, but at least... she could improve the children’s living conditions a little.
So,

“You just obediently move out.”
With that, Bai Lianyue glanced sideways.
Next to her was a fallen beast the size of a large truck. It was a terrifying creature with dark fur, steel-like spines, red cracks running across its body, resembling a mix between a black bear and a hedgehog. Its massive claws were jagged, and its fangs gleamed with cold light, capable of easily crushing steel.

More importantly, this beast emitted a chilling aura, the kind that signified a Blood Curse level fallen beast. Just the fluctuation of its power was enough to crush the soul of an ordinary living being.
The strength within it was incalculable.
However,

At that moment, this high-level fallen beast, which would normally require an entire mechanized division to fight, was lying pitifully on the ground like a small puppy.
Its neck was held tightly by Bai Lianyue’s seemingly delicate hand.
A girl barely taller than 1.7 meters was holding the beast’s fate by the throat.

The scene looked somewhat ridiculous.
...
However, in front of Bai Lianyue, the bear-shaped fallen beast had no intention of resisting. It merely gazed pitifully at Bai Lianyue, its crimson eyes filled with grievance, even teary-eyed.

“Argh, woah, I’ve lived here for hundreds of years, woo woo woo...”
Unfortunately,
The bear’s plea went unanswered, receiving nothing but an icy smile from Bai Lianyue.

“The problem is, I don’t remember agreeing for you to live here. So, just move out obediently~”
Before the words even finished,
Bai Lianyue exerted a slight force and threw the bear toward the distant forest.

“Arghhh! Woah woah woah woo woo woo woo!” (How could you! I exchanged a thousand apples for this land!!!)
With the bear’s tragic roar,
This Blood Curse-level fallen beast was sent flying like a shooting star into the sky.

After that,
Bai Lianyue clapped her hands and slowly pulled out a broom made of plants. She gazed at the house ahead, which resembled a junkyard, and prepared to start her big cleaning project, her emerald eyes burning with determination.
Since her human days,

Bai Lianyue had always taken care of Xingwu’s daily needs. So, she was quite confident in her cleaning skills~
Hmm,
Maybe?

However,
Just as Bai Lianyue was rolling up her sleeves to begin, a strange surge of energy rippled quietly behind her. Upon sensing this, Bai Lianyue paused her movements and slowly turned to look behind her.
There, standing with a smile, was a tall, slender woman with cat ears, who had appeared there without her noticing.

“Severine? What are you doing back?” Bai Lianyue blinked in surprise and muttered.
“I heard the boss became a beautiful lady~ I naturally had to come check it out~”
Saying this playfully,

Severine’s eyes narrowed slightly, sizing up Bai Lianyue, from head to toe, from her face to her body, from her clothes to her shoes. Almost every part of Bai Lianyue was thoroughly examined.
And this examination... lasted for several minutes...
“Uh…”

After being scrutinized for so long, even Bai Lianyue, who was thick-skinned, felt a bit uncomfortable.
“So, what’s up?”
“Boss.”

“Hmm?”
“I think you need some lessons.”
“Lessons? What lessons?”

“How to be a pretty lady~”
“What??”
