Abyssal Chronicles-Chapter 114 - +115: Meng Xi’s Thoughts fixed
...
’My head...’
’My head hurts...’
’Huh?’
’What...’
’What happened to me?’
’
’I remember being at the Galros Fortress...’
’After seeing those butterflies and that woman, I seemed to have fainted?...’
’And then...’
’What happened next?’
...
’Huh? These memories... The house in the Winter Forest? And the black-haired woman?’
’Why are my memories so blurry?’
’Strange...’
...
Could it be...
’Little Sakura?!’
...
As Little Sakura’s power continuously poured into Meng Xi’s body, the silver-haired girl’s sleeping consciousness gradually regained control of her body...
Slowly,
Meng Xi suppressed the overwhelming drowsiness and slowly opened her eyes, forcing her consciousness to return to reality.
However,
At the beginning of her return,
Everything was so blurry, and the spinning sensation made Meng Xi feel extremely uncomfortable.
As time went by, Meng Xi’s vision gradually cleared, and her senses slowly returned to normal.
Then, the unfamiliar ceiling suddenly appeared in the girl’s sight, causing Meng Xi to frown slightly,
"This... What is this place? Where am I?"
On the other side,
Seeing Meng Xi wake up smoothly, the little creature resembling a cat was immediately excited and affectionately rubbed Meng Xi’s face. Its cheerful voice entered Meng Xi’s ears,
"Wuwuwu! That’s great! Wuwuwu, Miss Meng Xi, it’s so good that you’re alright!"
"Huh? Little Sakura?"
Looking at the companion who was rubbing her face, Meng Xi smiled helplessly, raised her hand to touch Little Sakura’s head, and signaled that there was no need to worry,
"Alright, I’m fine."
With that,
Meng Xi took a deep breath, slowly sat up from the bed, and began to look around with great confusion:
"What is this place?"
"It should be the guesthouse of Linfeng City."
Little Sakura, who was standing on Meng Xi’s shoulder, replied.
Hearing this, Meng Xi’s brows furrowed slightly:
"Guesthouse? In Linfeng City? How did I get here?"
"I... I’m not sure. I’ve been hiding in your mental space and don’t know what happened..."
"Is that so..."
"But, Meng Xi! Are you alright?"
"Alright?"
"Yeah! After you were taken to the Winter Forest, did that damned woman do anything to you?! Did she bully you, torture you, or interrogate you?!"
Little Sakura asked anxiously,
After hearing this, Meng Xi’s pale purple eyes showed a hint of unusual emotion,
"That woman?"
"The one with black hair! The one who always has blood butterflies around her!" Little Sakura explained
"You... are talking about Sister Yumo?"
"Huh? Yumo? Is that her name?... Huh? Meng Xi, why are you calling her sister?! She’s a demon!"
Little Sakura’s voice was unintentionally filled with excitement,
Because she was surprised to find that after mentioning that woman, her mistress’s eyes did not have the hatred that should be present when dealing with demons. Instead, it was a complicated emotion,
This inevitably made this little cat feel very bad,
Could it be,
Meng Xi’s brainwashing hasn’t been lifted?
"Miss Meng Xi! Wait, let me check you again!"
With that,
Golden divine power once again surged around Little Sakura...
However, at this very moment,
Seemingly guessing what Sakura was thinking, Mengxi’s little hand suddenly touched her soft head,

"It’s alright, there’s no need to check anymore. I haven’t been brainwashed."
"Are, are you sure?"
"I’m fine."
"But, but why? That woman is a demon from the abyss!"
In response to this question, Mengxi shook her head helplessly,
"Enmm, it’s a bit complicated."
"Complicated?"
"Yeah, let me think quietly for a bit..."
Upon hearing this, sakura nodded slightly. Seeing Mengxi’s tangled expression, she remained silent, then turned into a golden light and entered Mengxi’s body.
The silver-haired girl gazed thoughtfully at the night sky outside the window, her light purple eyes slightly narrowed.
The image of the black-haired girl who had been with her for the past few days gradually surfaced in Mengxi’s mind like a slideshow,
’Sister,huh…..’
She’s quite a strange person,
Ah, I shouldn’t say person, should I say demon, right?
Abyssal demons,
Shouldn’t all these creatures hate the holy aura in my body? Every abyssal demon I’ve encountered in the past has tried to kill me...
’Not only did she not try to kill me, but she even saved me?’
At first,
I thought she had ulterior motives,
But while I pretended to be a child, I didn’t see her doing anything with bad intentions, and she even took care of me meticulously.
Moreover,
She gave me medicine to help me increase my strength, and they were all rare and precious medicines...
Even though she’s an abyssal demon,
And a high-ranking one at that,
She can heal, cook, and take care of people,
It’s like, the perfect wife and mother,
How strange...
The more Mengxi thought about it,
The more she recalled her days in that house, the more puzzled she became, and numerous question marks appeared around her.
’ sister Yumo, What do you want?’
Mengxi was confused,
This humanoid abyssal demon seemed to have no malice toward her. After spending so much time together, even when Mengxi was initially rude and attacked her, she didn’t show any intent to kill, only to control her...
Yumo’s power was undoubtedly the power of Shadows,
And she could command abyssal demons,
She must be a Demon King level being, a humanoid Demon King...
The power of Shadows had the ability to infect all living beings. Could it be that the girl was a human who had been infected by the power of Shadows and transformed into a Demon King level abyssal demon? And then, by chance, retained her sanity, which is why she took care of Mengxi so humanely?
It must be the case,
There are Demon King level abyssal demons that were once divine beasts, magical beasts, and fairies. Why couldn’t there be ones that were once human?
Mengxi, who had come up with a rough guess,
Stood up slowly from the bed under sakura’s bewildered gaze, her hand propping her chin.
However,
Having only taken a few steps,
Mengxi couldn’t help but frown,
Nevertheless,
If Yumo, sister, no,
If that woman was indeed transformed from a human, what about the other girls beside her? Their auras seemed like abyssal demons too, right?
Although Mengxi had completely sealed her own power to act, she couldn’t sense the strength of Limo Liyu and the others, but she could still determine that those girls were abyssal demons. And after thinking about those girls, Mengxi was even more confused,
There are so many humanoid, rational abyssal demons?!
Weren’t all abyssal demons, except for the Demon King level ones, supposed to be mindless?
Could those few abyssal demons also be Demon King level?
Can Demon King level demons take human form?
And be so well-behaved? Weren’t Demon King level demons just slightly intelligent beasts?!
After realizing this point, Miss Mengxi couldn’t help but put a big question mark on the information system of the Church. After all, according to her own life records in the house, many of the things the church had taught her didn’t quite match reality...
"Speaking of which, those girls called Yumo ’Mother’, didn’t they?"
Mengxi frowned,
Is Yumo married? Then, who is the father of those two children?
No, no!
That’s not right!
After a moment’s thought, Mengxi shook her head decisively, throwing the idea out of her mind. After all, one of the girls seemed to be a transformed wolf and the other a transformed bird; how could they possibly be Yumo’s daughters? Moreover, Mengxi had confirmed through various means during their shared bath,
Yumo should be a virgin...
Enmm,
It’s strange; I really don’t understand...
Mengxi’s mind was quite confused at the moment.
Never mind,
There’s no point thinking about it,
Anyway,
Although she didn’t know why, Yumo indeed hadn’t hurt her and had even brought her back. At least, she should have no malice towards Mengxi,
But,
Why did she do that? Mengxi and the so-called Chosen One are the future greatest enemies of the abyssal demons. Why would a Demon King level being help the enemy? What is her real purpose?
"You are very important to me~"
Important? Why did she say that?
Recalling the words Yumo spoke when they bathed together, Mengxi asked herself again,
Unfortunately,
It seems that she still cannot understand the answer to this question,
However,
Glancing at the empty room around her, Mengxi’s brow furrowed slightly,
’To be honest, being taken care of felt quite nice...’
But, now that I’ve returned to Linfeng City, I probably won’t see her again for a while, right?
If given the chance,
I really would like to have a good talk with her...
Thinking of this, Mengxi sighed helplessly, after all, the other party was in the Winter Forest, and it seemed a bit difficult for her to find Yumo...
Sigh,
I’m a bit thirsty,
After thinking for a long time, the dryness in her throat made Mengxi feel slightly uncomfortable,
So,
The frowning girl, dragging her still somewhat weak figure, put on a simple cotton coat and headed to the living room to find some water to drink.
However,
The moment she opened the door, Mengxi’s light purple eyes slightly narrowed,
Huh?!
Is, is it her?
At this moment,
A delicate-looking little girl sat silently on the sofa with her eyes closed,
And this pink-haired girl, Mengxi naturally knew quite well, as she was the very same pink-haired little girl she had rescued from the abyssal demon’s clutches...
The moment she saw this little girl,
Seeing that she was safe and sound, Mengxi couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief,
It seems,
Back then, she had managed to escape...
...
...
Hmm? No, that’s not right?! Why is she here? If this is the guest house, the people of Linfeng City wouldn’t allow her in as a slave!
Moreover,
This, this pose...
Looking at the motionless pink-haired girl who didn’t even seem to breathe, like a sculpture. Mengxi recalled the familiar animal skin underwear she had seen in the bathroom. A black silhouette gradually appeared in Mengxi’s mind and slowly overlapped with the scene before her...
The next moment,
A meaningful smile slowly surfaced on Mengxi’s face,
’Oh, I see. So that’s what’s going on~’
At this moment,
Completely unaware that Mengxi had already awakened and not realizing that she herself was being watched, Miss Yumo,
After transforming into the appearance of the pink-haired little girl from before, in order to pass the dull and boring evening, Yumo once again entered a motionless meditative state. Her thoughts entered her inner consciousness, and she began to ponder some serious issues.
The first one?
It’s about her own identity,
Previously, she had gained a lot of favor from Mengxi as the pink-haired little girl, and now that Mengxi had woken up and found her waiting in the living room, she would probably be even more touched! When the time came, it would definitely be no problem for her to stay by Mengxi’s side and help her grow! At least Mengxi would agree!
However,
The issue was with the asumos Church. Judging from the information given by Xiao, along with the previous reactions of and the others,
It’s not hard to tell that the Asumos Church has an extreme disdain for slaves.
The higher-ups of the church were likely unwilling to allow someone of such ’low status’ to stay by the side of the noble Chosen one.
Enmm,
It’s true,
If she had known earlier, she wouldn’t have chosen the ’slave’ identity! Now, it has caused some trouble...
Moreover,
Besides the issue of identity, there was another matter that needed careful consideration...
What to do with the girl who had received her power, the prototype for her current appearance?
Initially, she thought that the girl would most likely fail after receiving her power, but from the information that Li Yu had given her, it seemed that the chaotic power of shadow inside the cocoon was gradually stabilizing?!
In that case, she might indeed become the seventh demon king-level existence...
A demon king-level with the body of holy light,
It was indeed a good thing that the girl had managed to survive, but it also brought Yumo a dilemma, which was the issue of education.
Unlike the children who were originally spirit beasts or demonic beasts, this little girl was a genuine human being...
She had more of her own thoughts, and her heart might even harbor a disgust for abyssal demons...
Such a girl seemed a bit difficult to control in the future, right?
Additionally,
There was another issue that bothered Yumo, which was the matter of taking care of the house.
After all, this was the first time in more than 500 years that she would be leaving the Cold Winter Forest for such a long time,
When she thought of the three little ones responsible for managing the abyssal demons, Yumo couldn’t help but feel an inexplicable sense of unease.
’enmm, will Li Yu and the others be okay?’
They shouldn’t cause any trouble, right?
...
Huh?!
However, just as Yumo’s thoughts were focused on the children in the forest, a familiar fragrance of hawthorn flowers suddenly rushed into her nose,
Soon after, a pair of delicate and warm little hands wrapped around Yumo from behind,
Two soft mounds were also pressed against Yumo’s back.
Although the ’assailant’ didn’t use any force and didn’t harbor any ill intent, being suddenly embraced like this,
Yumo still felt a shock,
Immediately breaking free from her motionless statue mode, Yumo looked at the silver-haired girl who was pressing her face against her own with some surprise,
"Meng..."
No, she couldn’t call her that. They weren’t in the small cabin now. Realizing this, Yumo quickly adjusted her tone and expression, speaking timidly and feigning ’surprise’:
"Sis... Sister?! You... You’re awake?!"
Hearing Yumo’s cute words and seeing the excitement and joy on the pink-haired girl’s adorable face,
Mengxi revealed a very gentle, somewhat meaningful, sweet smile.
Undoubtedly,
With Mengxi’s goddess-like appearance and such a sweet smile, anyone’s heart would be melted,
Yumo was no exception, feeling a slight warmth in her heart.
However,
’Why... does it feel... like there’s a chill?’
Although it was such a beautiful smile, it made Miss Yumo inexplicably shiver all over.
Before Yumo could figure out what was going on,
Yumo’s body suddenly became weightless!
"Eh?!"
Yumo let out a soft cry of surprise,
"Sister?! What are you doing?"
It was obvious that Yumo, who had temporarily transformed into a little girl, was now being directly lifted off the chair by Mengxi.
In response to Yumo’s exclamation, Mengxi said indifferently:
"It’s cold outside. Sitting in the chair, you’ll catch a chill. Come to the bedroom. Also, I need a body pillow."
"Eh? A body... pillow? Sister, what are you...?"
However, before Yumo could finish speaking, Mengxi unilaterally and assertively embraced the pink-haired girl in her arms,
After that,
Entering the room,
Closing the door,
Dragging her onto the bed,
Removing her outerwear,
Covering her with a blanket,
Hugging the girl...
All these actions were done in one fluid motion. By the time Yumo realized what was happening, she was already firmly locked in bed by Mengxi, completely turned into a body pillow...
’Ah, this...’
Looking at the beautiful silver-haired girl beside her who had closed her eyes and quickly fallen asleep, feeling her regular breaths, Yumo couldn’t help but reveal a dumbfounded look,
Well,
Although it was a good thing that the female lead didn’t mind her and was even willing to sleep while hugging her,
At least it showed that her efforts to gain favor before had yielded some results.
But,
Why did it feel like this situation seemed a bit familiar?
She had been held like this by Mengxi in the Cold Winter Forest before!
Uh,
Could it be that Mengxi had a habit of sleeping while hugging someone?
Enmm...
Fine, since that’s the case, she might as well indulge her. After all, she is now set as a "soft and weak" little girl who can’t resist.
If she can’t resist?
Then just enjoy it~
Yumo optimistically thought.
So, Yumo returned to her spiritual space, surrounded by Mengxi’s jasmine scent, and once again began pondering the various important questions from before. As a result, the pink-haired little girl Yumo had transformed into gradually fell into a ’deep sleep’,
Becoming a truly dedicated body pillow, nestled in Mengxi’s arms, motionless~
Just like that,
Time passed by, second by second.
...
...
Almost an hour later, after confirming that Yumo had indeed entered ’statue’ mode, Mengxi, who had been pretending to sleep for quite some time, slowly opened her light purple eyes and carefully examined the pink-haired girl in front of her.
Though she looked quite different from the black-haired girl she knew,
But...
’She’s indeed the same person~’
Thinking this, Mengxi couldn’t help but smile slightly.
It seems,
Yumo is really trying to get close to me on purpose? Even disguising herself as a little girl to stay by my side? Her disguise is not too bad. Unfortunately, there are some details~
After realizing the truth, Mengxi didn’t get angry. Instead, she revealed a playful smile.
’Yumo, what exactly are you trying to do?’
Mengxi still had no idea about Yumo’s purpose.
The only thing Mengxi was certain of was that this human-shaped abyss demon held no hostility towards her and even took great care of her.
In that case,
Even if she exposed Yumo, she wouldn’t be able to do anything to her right now. So why not let her stay by her side and see if she could figure out her true intentions?
Additionally,
Although Yumo might still possess some humanity, Mengxi wasn’t sure of her attitude towards other abyss demons.
Since she’s different from other abyss demons, Mengxi might as well try to bring her fully into the human camp...
To do this,
It’s necessary to win her favor.
If she can fill Yumo’s favorability gauge, perhaps she could lure her into helping during future battles against the abyss demons! In that case, the difficulty of defeating the abyss demons would surely decrease significantly!
Also,
The most crucial point,
...
...
Sigh,
My naive Yumo~
Did you know that when you enter a ’daydreaming’ state, a faint trace of the power of shadow seeps from your body?
This power,
For me, it’s quite a supplement~
Thinking this,
Mengxi hugged the ’sleeping’ pink-haired little girl even tighter, sticking as close to her as possible, just like the situation in the small house before...
In this close contact, the power of silence that unconsciously overflowed from Yumo’s body
Continuously flowed into Mengxi’s body.
The beautiful silver-haired girl revealed a satisfied smile,
’(itadakimasu)Thanks for the treat~’
