Abyssal Chronicles-Chapter 113: I’m not a cutie
The perspective shifts back to the guesthouse in the City of Wind Linfeng.
As night deepens, the evening banquet temporarily concludes. With the end of the feast, local nobles and wealthy merchants leave the guesthouse one after another, while members of the Black Rose family return to their respective rooms to rest. The entire guesthouse subsequently becomes silent.
Taking advantage of the quiet night, our Yumo stealthily leaves her room. Turning into countless blood butterflies, she quickly arrives at another corner of the guesthouse, where Meng Xi is currently situated.
Thanks to the efforts of the Black Rose family, Meng Xi has already been treated as an injured person and placed here, waiting for the members of the Church of Asumos to ’claim’ her.
As for security, it is jointly handled by the Black Rose family and the guards of the City of Wind Linfeng.

After confirming that there’s nobody around, Yumo approaches Meng Xi’s room and carefully opens the door.
With the door opening, the stunningly beautiful silver-haired girl lies asleep on the bed, appearing before Yumo. At this moment, Meng Xi, after being cared for by the guesthouse maids, has taken off her bloodstained clothes, cleaned up, and changed into a simple white cotton nightgown.
Of course, the quality of the nightgown is incomparable to the lace one provided by Yumo earlier, but it’s already considered of high quality within the City of Wind.
The entire bedroom is relatively luxurious. It can be seen that the people of the City of Wind, despite their hostility towards the Church of Asumos, are still meticulous in their treatment of the Child of Destiny. Considering the Snow Night Empire’s prince launched a magic energy fission bomb targeting Meng Xi, Yumo worried that Meng Xi might be attacked by assassins sent by the royal family.
Now it seems her worries were unfounded. The previous bombing was likely the lone act of the third prince. The Snow Night royal family is currently actively negotiating with the Red Lotus Empire and the Asumos church.
Hmm, the environment appears quite decent.
However, the service seems to be lacking.
Looking at Meng Xi’s exposed upper body, not properly covered by the quilt, Yumo couldn’t help but feel slightly displeased.
Although the room is heated, she could still catch a cold if the quilt isn’t covering her properly!
With that thought, Yumo slowly sits by Meng Xi’s bedside and carefully covers the silver-haired girl with the quilt.
Um, is the divine energy nearby getting stronger?
Hmm, it seems that Meng Xi is really recovering.
Thinking about this, Yumo smiles with relief.
Then, Yumo gently lifts her hand to caress Meng Xi’s delicate face, feeling the soft and bouncy touch. Yumo can’t help but show a bitter smile.
Recalling the little girl who always acted spoiled and cute, hugging her and calling her big sister, Yumo feels a bit sad knowing she might never see her again.
However, it’s an inevitable situation.
After all, the heroine will recover sooner or later and return to the church, and she can’t be in a childish state forever...
However, recalling Meng Xi’s strange behavior in the bath earlier, Yumo can’t help but frown again. Sometimes, she even wonders if this girl has genuinely become childish...
Therefore, to be on the safe side, Yumo calls on Shuo Yue to cover Meng Xi’s experiences during this time with a false dream.
This way, even if Meng Xi is pretending, she won’t remember herself. If she isn’t pretending, it will prevent her from recalling these days. After all, Yumo is also worried that Meng Xi will remember her kindness and hesitate to take action against her in the future.
But, no matter what, keep going! "Your journey is still long, little cutie~"
Smiling slightly, Yumo playfully pinches Meng Xi’s cheek. However, while pinching, Yumo is still very vigilant, watching the silver-haired girl carefully, fearing she might suddenly open her eyes again. Having been startled several times before, Yumo has developed a slight shadow in her heart.
After visiting the heroine, Yumo slowly gets up. Of course, she doesn’t plan to return to her original room, but instead goes to the living room as planned. After all, she intends to continue accompanying Meng Xi as a slave girl once Meng Xi wakes up in a few days. The heroine’s current strength is still insufficient, and there is still a long way to go.
Oh, and she has to help her deal with some internal troubles within the Church.
So, "Goodbye, big sister~" Using the previous slave girl’s tone, Yumo playfully says in her heart.
Then, Yumo carefully closes the door.
After returning to the living room, a flash of crimson shadowy power transforms Yumo into a delicate pink-haired little girl. However, as she suppresses her power, she quickly realizes a very awkward problem.
Hmm, she forgot to change her clothes. Glancing at the black dress on her delicate body, which has become extremely ill-fitting due to her body shrinking, an embarrassed expression appears on Yumo’s face.
Never mind, I will go back and change into another set of clothes first. After all, the people outside are from the Black Rose family...
--
With Yumo’s departure, the bedroom once again returns to its previous silence. The girl lying on the bed keeps her eyes closed, showing no signs of waking up.
Clearly, this time, Meng Xi doesn’t suddenly sit up like before but remains immersed in the world of dreams.
However, while Meng Xi doesn’t react, another presence in the room becomes restless. After confirming that Yumo has left, Meng Xi’s chest suddenly radiates a soft golden light.
As the golden light shines, Meng Xi’s already ample chest rises even further, to an enviable extent.
Of course, it’s not because Meng Xi’s chest suddenly had a second growth spurt...
In the next moment, with the light dispersing, the quilt covering Meng Xi’s chest is suddenly pushed away.
A cute creature, with ruby-red eyes, a pure white body, resembling both a cat and a rabbit, sits on Meng Xi’s chest. "Oh my, that scared me..." It thought it was discovered!
Whoa, that woman actually came to the City of Wind too? How on earth did she get in?!
A being resembling a cute cat and named Little Sakura panted anxiously,
If it weren’t for the red light flickering outside the bedroom that she saw just now, and hid herself in Mengxi’s spiritual world like before, she would have been caught by that woman!
Although the woman didn’t attack Mengxi for some reason,
Who knows if she will be attacked next time ? After all, her body is entirely made of the goddess’s divine power!
It can be said that her body is a taunt to the abyssal demon! Once caught, she’d likely be devoured alive.
Because of this, Mengxi had been hiding her breath in her spiritual world during their time in the Winter Forest! It wasn’t until today when she no longer felt the horrifying pressure, that she secretly slipped out of Mengxi’s body.
Of course,
Little Sakura’s mind was quite complex at the moment,
At first, she thought that the abyssal demon wanted to keep Mengxi in the Winter Forest,
Unexpectedly, when she sensed that there was no one else around and came out to observe, she was astonished to find that they had returned to the human domain, to the City of Wind?! Although she didn’t know why that terrifying woman let them return, Little Sakura was still overjoyed!
Well,
Although she was almost discovered just now,
Fortunately, she was clever and hid in time!
"A close call, a close call..."

If something really happened,
How would she explain it to Lord Lin Ling...
Nevermind,
Don’t think about those things for now,
What’s important is Mengxi’s physical condition!
After taking a long breath, the cat creature refocused her attention on Mengxi’s pretty face. A pale golden divine power gradually gathered around Little Sakura and covered Mengxi’s body! After confirming that there was nothing wrong with Mengxi, Little Sakura breathed a sigh of relief.
But the next moment,
Her red eyes suddenly flashed with seriousness,
This,
What is this?
Mengxi’s spirit was covered with some energy?! Is this... the power of the Shadow?!
The moment she realized this, Little Sakura’s face showed anger, and she snorted coldly with a "not surprising" tone,
"Hmph~"
I knew that woman wouldn’t be kind-hearted! She would never just let Miss Mengxi return to human society like this! They must have tampered with Mengxi’s memories!
Do they want to turn Miss Mengxi into one of them?!
Then, join forces to destroy the Church ! And the human resistance forces!
Haha,
As expected of an abyssal demon, truly despicable!
However…
The next moment, a strong golden light suddenly bloomed around Little Sakura and slowly flowed into Mengxi’s mind!
"Hmph! With me here, your plans will never succeed!"
Although my physical strength is weak!
But my spiritual power is very terrifying~
So,
Under the continuous cleansing of Little Sakura’s golden divine power,
In Mengxi’s body,
The power left by Shuoyue was gradually worn away bit by bit...
