Abyss Sequence-Chapter 374 - 31: Yevgenia’s Request

Once the convoy moved away from the city gates, Yan Luo looked at Sasa and asked, "Why didn’t you let me speak just now? Do you have some sort of grudge with that elf?"

Sasa climbed out from under the central console and sat back in the passenger seat, letting out a heavy sigh.

Slumped in the chair, Sasa began to tell Yan Luo about her experiences at the academy.

After listening, Yan Luo’s expression became quite remarkable.

Sasa dared to bet that since she knew Yan Luo, it was the first time his face showed so many expressions in such a short time.

Annoyed, she puffed her cheeks and punched Yan Luo’s arm.

Yan Luo’s mouth twitched as he tried to hold back his laughter, "Sorry, but anyone who hears this will find it... amusing!"

Who would’ve thought that Sasa would go to the academy and meet an elf wanting to be her mom, and that elf even followed her to Gass City. It seems she doesn’t plan to let Sasa go.

Sasa sighed, "If only she were a bad person... but she just wants to be my mom. I can really feel the affection from her attitude towards me; it’s just that this affection is somewhat twisted..."

If Yevgenia were a bad person, Sasa could ask Yulia or Yan Luo to deal with her without any psychological burden.

The problem is, Yevgenia isn’t a bad person; she’s just a mother eager to love her daughter, though a bit excessively.

She’s the type of mother who would travel to a parallel world to kill her own self there, just to replace herself in that world to accompany her daughter.

That kind of affection is truly terrifying, and Sasa is too weak to withstand it.

The convoy split into two parts along the way, with the truck drivers heading to the warehouse to unload, while the escort team of Hunters went ahead to their residence.

When the vehicle arrived at the ’Human Mansion’ prepared for them by the Lord of Gass City, two electrical engineers living inside ran out excitedly.

"Thank heaven! You finally arrived! A few days ago, a very good-looking elf came asking us where Sasa went, although she didn’t do anything to us, she really seemed a bit scary, so we told her Sasa might come in a few days... you haven’t met her, have you?"

After hearing the engineers’ words, everyone turned to look at Sasa.

Sasa hid her face in her hands, unsure how to explain the situation to them.

As soon as she mentions it, she’ll definitely become a laughing stock.

"Sasa, do you need to hide?" Yan Luo asked suddenly.

Sasa looked up in confusion, "Hide from what?"

"That woman." Yan Luo said succinctly.

Sasa froze for a moment before quickly curling herself under the seat.

"Sorry, but I still want to ask."

Yevgenia’s gentle voice timely sounded from outside the door, drawing everyone’s attention.

The tall, full-bodied female elf stood outside the door, politely inquiring, "I’ve already heard that Sasa is always with you. Even if she didn’t come to Alfheim this time, you should know where she is now, right?"

Bam!

Yan Luo stepped off the armored vehicle, slamming the door shut.

He walked up to Yevgenia, who was only half a head shorter than him, and asked, "What do you want with Sasa?"

Yevgenia’s eyes lit up, "Ah, it seems you know where Sasa is. I came to apologize to her; I’m very sorry for the excessive things I did to her before. I’ve realized my mistake and hope she can forgive me."

Everyone pricked up their ears, displaying ambiguous smiles.

What does ’excessive things’ mean? Elaborate!

Yan Luo turned back and called to the armored car, "Sasa, come out. Hiding like this isn’t a solution!"

"So Sasa is right there!" Yevgenia tiptoed, peeking over Yan Luo’s shoulder, looking at the armored car.

Sasa sulked inside the car, then opened the door and crawled out.

She stood beside the armored vehicle and shouted at Yevgenia from a distance, "I’ve forgiven you, so please don’t come looking for me again!"

Yevgenia panicked instantly, "I was wrong before; I hope we can start afresh!"

Ohh ohhh!

Almost everyone’s eyes sparkled with excitement and were about to scream.

Super thrilling!

Sasa stomped in anger, "I already said, I won’t call you ’mom,’ and I won’t be your daughter! I’m human, I’m already twenty-one, an adult!"

...Damn, even more thrilling!

Sasa’s words directly ignited everyone’s gossip hearts, causing curiosity to flare up.

What happened between Sasa and this obviously married woman elf? Why such explosive words?

"It’s okay." Yevgenia said softly, "I just think you look very much like my deceased daughter and want to feel her shadow from you. Even if you don’t call me ’mom,’ it’s okay; I just hope to accompany and quietly watch over you."

Sasa rolled her eyes, deflated, "But I don’t like that. Number Two Lady, you can leave."

Yevgenia shook her head, "I’m no longer the librarian of the Great Library; I’ve quit that job. Sasa, I’ve learned some Midgard conditions from the Lord of Gass City and the two ’engineers’. I know you’re lacking combat personnel around you now, and I’m strong enough with a general-level strength, and I can be an asset to you!"

Is she tempting with benefits, not emotions?

Sasa fell into a dilemma.

A general-level corresponds to Second Rank; on Blue Star, this is a formidable combat strength.

Yevgenia’s affection may be somewhat distorted, but it ensures the elf would protect her.

If it’s for benefits, Sasa really wants Yevgenia to come to her side.

But she is very afraid.

If Yevgenia goes back to her previous ways, wanting to abduct her, she’ll be powerless.

Yan Luo can’t always be by her side, while Wu Zechuan and Yulia have extracted their engravings to switch from modern to ancient cultivation methods.

If Yevgenia acts up, especially when Yan Luo isn’t around, she’ll truly be taken away by Yevgenia to be a daughter.

After some thought, Sasa asked Yevgenia, "Number Two Lady, did you ask your husband and other children about this?"

Yevgenia mentioned that her youngest daughter was deceased.

So, Yevgenia has other children.

Yevgenia shook her head, "I have separated from my husband, and my eldest daughter has become a legion leader in other cities; we seldom have time to meet."

That’s it, it seems she has no reason to refuse her.

Sasa thought with a sense of foreboding.

Although Yevgenia once tried to abduct and confine Sasa to take care of her as her daughter, in truth, Sasa doesn’t dislike Yevgenia.

Sasa can feel the love inside Yevgenia, but it’s hard for her to accept.

"You have the right to refuse."

Yan Luo suddenly said, "Sasa, if you’re unwilling, you don’t have to force yourself to accept."

Hearing his words, Yevgenia’s eyes dimmed.

Yes, Sasa isn’t her little daughter, but rather the substitute she imagines...

"Actually, I’m not that resistant..." Sasa sighed, expressing her true feelings, "It’s just that Number Two Lady’s initial attitude scared me a bit, and letting an elf go to Blue Star..."

Sasa is worried Yevgenia might be an elf spy sent to monitor humans.

Even though the elves she has interacted with were ethical, she has a tendency to think darkly, so she can’t help considering them sinister.

Yan Luo glanced at Yevgenia, "The things she says are sincere."

Upon hearing Yan Luo’s words, Sasa looked at Yevgenia with a complex expression.

Yan Luo is capable of discerning emotions in others while speaking, generating an effect akin to mind reading.

So, the words Yevgenia just said are sincere?

Thinking for a moment, Sasa finally sighed and agreed to Yevgenia’s request.

"Alright, but after you join us on Blue Star, you’ll have to stick close to me."

Yevgenia was instantly overjoyed, her entire being seeming to radiate light.

"Mm!"
