Abyssal Chronicles-Chapter 1162: Goal

In the central part of the Winter Forest,

The Ice Lake area.

As a lake covered in ice and snow, the water there was mysteriously special. Even in the harsh winter, it would not completely freeze, instead forming a natural ice lake. In this bitterly cold, snowy weather, our beautiful Miss Yumo happily wrapped herself in a towel and soaked in the ice lake. The lake water surrounded her partially visible figure, as if she had become one with this cold world.

For ordinary people, such bone-chilling cold water would be enough to freeze them solid. But for Yumo, this was a rare enjoyment and comfort. Her body seemed to resonate with the ice water. The cold lake water flowing over her skin not only did not bring any chill, but instead brought her coolness and relief. She closed her eyes, a satisfied smile on her face. Her long hair spread gently on the water's surface, swaying softly with the current.

The silence of the ice lake and Yumo's serenity formed a striking contrast. She found her own peace and relaxation in this cold environment. The surrounding snowy scenery and her figure soaking in the ice lake together composed a tranquil and beautiful picture. Her harmonious coexistence with nature filled this scene with mystery and poetry.

Of course, This was assuming one ignored the Abyssal demon horde watching eagerly from the forest around the ice lake...

After Yumo soaked in the ice lake, the Shadow power within her body would gradually seep out and merge into the entire ice lake. Therefore, during this past period, every time Yumo finished bathing in the ice lake, the nearby Abyssal demon horde would happily jump into the lake to enjoy the Shadow power Yumo left behind.

Regarding how popular her bathwater was, Yumo felt rather helpless. But she did not mind too much and continued quietly soaking in the water.

"Ahh~, this feels so comfortable~~"

For Yumo, who possessed a physique surpassing peak Lv9, the cold of the ice lake could not harm her at all. Instead, it made her feel refreshed.

Leaning against the boulder behind her,

Yumo leisurely gazed up at the sky.

Enjoying this rare moment of leisure.

Currently, to make it convenient for future visits to the Winter Forest, the members of the Black Rose Family planned to find a place in the eastern area to build a small town. Not only as a residential area, but also to bring some entertainment to the desolate forest. For this purpose, Qiu Mingtong and the others were busy with construction, having a great time.

As for her own children, Youlan and Kalina had gone to handle official business. The other children were attending classes with her brother, so none of them had time to cling to her.

As for Mengxi,

She seemed to still have a Church Nation to manage. She had teleported to the Church Nation early in the morning to work. Although she would return after sunset, she obviously could not accompany Yumo during the daytime.

Therefore, Yumo had the leisure to specifically come to the Ice Lake area to bathe and pass the time.

However, Yumo was not too lonely. Besides Momo, who was absorbed in gaming in her consciousness space, she had other company.

Thinking of this, Yumo slightly turned her head and looked at a girl with star-like eyes about five or six meters away, who was enjoying the ice lake bath with her.

At this moment, the star-eyed girl was wrapped in a soft towel, quietly soaking by the lakeside. Her star-like shimmering eyes reflected the ripples on the lake surface and Yumo's beautiful figure. The girl's features were delicate, her gaze deep, like the brightest star in the night sky. Mysterious and captivating.

The girl's gaze sometimes focused on the lake surface, sometimes fell on Yumo. Her expression was calm yet thoughtful, as if contemplating something in this quiet environment.

And this being who was equally unafraid of the cold was Yumo's most trusted weapon.

That terrifying weapon that made all Abyssal demons tremble in fear - the Feather Duster.

"How is it? Feeling comfortable, Yue?"

"It is alright."

Yue replied calmly.

"Fairly comfortable."

"Hehe, I am glad you like it~"

After receiving Yue's response, the satisfied Yumo continued gazing at the sky, enjoying her leisurely daily life.

Meanwhile, Yue continued silently watching her master, occasionally casting her gaze toward those Abyssal demons hiding in the forest.

Emm,

Sigh,

Still not quite used to it.

Yue muttered in her heart.

After Yumo recovered her power and Yue's individual consciousness awakened, this Feather Duster had always had such thoughts in her heart.

In the past, she had always been alone.

Although Maya and ???? would occasionally keep her company... the only one who had always stayed by her foolish master's side was herself.

Now,

With so many people by her side, it really was... hard to get used to.

Not to mention,

Most of those accompanying her were Abyssal demons.

She had clearly been killed by the Abyssal Lord back then, yet now she cared so much about Abyssal demons. How ironic.

Slightly narrowing her eyes, a trace of coldness gradually appeared in Yue's gaze as she looked at those Abyssal demons. The bone-chilling coldness even made those mindless Abyssal demons instinctively tremble. They retreated in fear, letting out pitiful whimpers. After all, the Abyssal demons in the Winter Forest... without exception, all greatly feared the Feather Duster's aura.

After all, The demon kings had all been spanked by the Feather Duster until they wailed like ghosts.

"Hm?"

Seeming to notice the unease of the surrounding Abyssal demon horde, Yumo looked at Yue in puzzlement.

Thinking Yue's spanking addiction had acted up again, Yumo said helplessly:

"Stop always thinking about spanking those children's bottoms. They are very well-behaved. Honestly, you just finished thoroughly spanking the Guiding Saint. Why do you want to spank someone again? Yue, can you change your hobby?"

Being suddenly called out by Yumo like this,

Yue rolled her eyes in annoyance.

"Master, shut up."

"Mmph~"

Yumo pouted, staring at Yue with a resentful expression.

Yue was not the least bit intimidated by this. She knew very well that in most situations, her master was just a paper tiger (someone who looks scary but is actually harmless). Under Yumo's resentful gaze, Yue calmly looked toward those Abyssal demons in the distance.

"I understand."

No matter what,

Those Abyssal demons were children her master treasured... Since that was the case, even if she had some dissatisfaction, she should not show it.

After taking a deep breath, Yue asked calmly:

"Speaking of which, what does Master plan to do afterward? Do you have any goals?"

"Afterward?"

"Yes."

"Emm, well..."

Facing the question Yue suddenly raised, confusion appeared in Yumo's beautiful crimson eyes. She gazed somewhat hesitantly toward the distant mountains.

This was indeed a question worth thinking about.

In the past, her goal had been to raise the Chosen One and have them kill her.

Recently, her goal had been to obtain freedom and give the Guiding Saint a good beating.

Now, after achieving that goal, after everything had settled down, what should she do?

"I really have not thought about this."

"Then find one."

"Find one?"

"Yes. Look at how the Black Rose Family members recently, and Youlan and the others, are all working hard thinking about how to develop the Ancita continent. As for Mengxi, she is constantly training, approaching Lv9. Even Limo is studying hard, thinking about how to make herself less foolish. You are their mother. Should you not set an example? Lounging around all day, even living aimlessly. What kind of behavior is that?" 𝘧𝑟𝑒𝑒𝘸𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝓁.𝘤𝘰𝓂

"Hmm, I actually think this is pretty good. Not thinking about anything, just peacefully getting by..."

"..."

"Uh."

Seeming to sense Yue's disdainful gaze, Yumo awkwardly scratched her head.

"Fine, even if I do not just get by... what can I even do?"

"You really cannot think of anything, Master?"

"Yeah."

"Sigh..."

Hearing this, Yue sighed helplessly and gave her suggestion.

"In that case, Master, you should go train."

"Train? Train what?"

"Learn various types of magic, swordsmanship, combat methods. Especially combat methods against Lv9 powerhouses. Master, in all your battles until now, you have either crushed opponents with raw power or relied on your Authority arm. Your actual combat techniques are not even as good as Limo's. It is time to learn. Always relying on brute force, where is the dignity of the Saint?"

"Ah, well."

Facing this suggestion, Yumo found it hard to deny.

"Fine, but even if I want to learn, where would I learn? Combat methods against Lv9s? No one here knows that, right?"

"I will teach you."

"Hm?"

Yumo was stunned. She blinked in puzzlement.

"Yue? You... are joking, right? What would you even know..."

"I will teach you."

"..."

Meeting Yue's serious gaze, after silence, Yumo nodded in acceptance.

"Alright then~"
