Abyssal Chronicles-Chapter 125 - 126: Yuan’er? Xia’er? 4/7
Huh? What?
’What’s going on here?!’
Seeing the middle-aged woman who had embraced her without a word and claimed to be her ’grandmother,’ Yumo couldn’t help but feel puzzled, with question marks all over her head.
However,
Yumo’s confusion went unnoticed by the noblewoman, who was none other than Aurora. Overcome with emotion, she tightly held onto Yumo, feeling the warmth of her granddaughter. With excitement, tears unconsciously slid down her cheeks.
"It’s great that you’re fine, my Yuan’er..."
Witnessing this scene,
The arriving members of the Blizzard Knights revealed a touched smile, silently standing at the corner of the street, watching the ’heartwarming’ moment unfold. The onlookers, who had been watching for a long time, couldn’t help but burst into cheers after seeing the bearded man being punched away by the lady. After seeing the lady embracing the pink-haired girl, many people’s eyes showed the words ’as expected’...
Although their attitudes had changed a lot,
’So, it’s the young lady after all~’
People couldn’t help but whisper in admiration.
…
’The reactions of these people...’
Glancing at her surroundings, after noticing Aurora’s excited emotions and the expressions of the people around, Yumo’s deep blue eyes couldn’t help but narrow. At this moment, she finally understood why the people had been looking at her so strangely earlier.
So that slave girl used to be a noble’s daughter?
What a coincidence.
Hmm,
Despite being a noble from Wind City, how did she end up as a slave? If Yumo hadn’t intervened, the girl would have died in the forest.
Never mind,
She should deal with the current situation first.
Casting a glance at the tearful lady, considering her sober yet emotional state and the fact that she had ’saved’ Yumo, Yumo abandoned the idea of making her fall asleep. After all, a woman in the early stage of Saint Tier passing out on the street for no reason would indeed raise suspicions.
So,
Yumo deliberately put on an innocent expression, speaking with a cute tone:
"Um, thank you for saving me. Also, may I ask, who are you?"
"Yuan, Yuan’er?"
Upon hearing the girl’s puzzled words, Aurora couldn’t help but shiver, releasing the girl with an incredulous look in her violet eyes, full of worry.
"Yuan’er, don’t you remember me?"
Faced with such a question,
Yumo continued to show an ’innocent’ expression and tilted her head, answering with confusion:
"Yuan’er? Who is that? I’m sorry, ma’am, but I think you’ve mistaken me for someone else."
"Mistaken?"
"Yes, that’s right."
Hearing these words and feeling the completely different tone from Yuan’er, Aurora gradually calmed her excitement. Wiping away her tears, she closely examined the delicate pink-haired girl in front of her.
After a moment,
Aurora’s eyes couldn’t help but narrow slightly, her lips pressed together in a complex mix of emotions.
"Indeed, you’re not Yuan’er..."
Hearing this,
Though Yumo appeared timid on the surface, she secretly let out a small smile inside.
Hehe, as expected,
When she had used the power of Shadow to alter her appearance, although she had based it on the pink-haired girl or Yuan’er, Yumo hadn’t copied everything. She had just simulated a general appearance, height, and voice, with some differences in facial features.
It was enough to deceive the slave traders back then,
But for the girl’s family and friends, who spent day and night with her, this difference should be noticeable. She was just a stranger who happened to resemble their granddaughter.
The facts proved,
Yumo’s judgment was quite accurate. The woman claiming to be her grandmother revealed a bewildered expression after carefully observing her for a while, having realized her mistake.
With this in mind,
Yumo couldn’t help but sigh internally,
"I’m sorry, mam,"
Yumo feigned an apology and then timidly met the noblewoman’s violet eyes.
According to Yumo’s judgment,
After realizing she wasn’t her granddaughter, the lady would apologize and release her shoulder. After that, she could happily return to the welcoming hotel to find Mengxi. Having been away for so long, if she didn’t go back, the girl might start to worry.
However,
As Yumo met Aurora’s gaze, her brow furrowed, and her heart shuddered.
What now?
What’s happening?!
At this moment,
Yumo was surprised to discover that the noblewoman in front of her showed no intention of letting her go. On the contrary, she held onto her shoulders even more firmly, her violet eyes filled with indescribable excitement and joy.
The next instant, Yumo found herself once again enveloped in Aurora’s embrace.
"Xia’er! I finally found you!"
The woman’s voice was filled with emotion, and her entire body trembled with excitement.
’nyaaa!?’
At this moment, Yumo’s mind completely froze.
What on earth was going on?!
Who the heck was Xia’er?!
--
In the central area of Wind City, within the Marquis’s residence,
A man with light pink hair, wearing a head wrap that resembled a rice dumpling, was leaning on a crutch, laboriously walking around the estate. It seemed like he was undergoing some sort of rehabilitation training. If Yumo were here, she would easily recognize that this man was the nobleman who had tried to kiss the back of her hand when they entered the city.
Benjamin.
However, for some unknown reason, Benjamin couldn’t get what he wanted, and even ended up hitting his head on the icy lake, leaving him with a broken and bleeding skull and a grade-three concussion. As a result, he was now unable to coordinate his thoughts and body well.
His whole body was in a shaky state.
"Damn it, what on earth happened back then?"
Benjamin couldn’t help but resentfully grumble,
Although he wasn’t sure why the horse was startled,
From the reaction of the Black Rose family members at that time, it was very likely that their own mount’s loss of control had something to do with them!
However,
Despite the resentment in his heart,
Benjamin didn’t have the courage to confront the Black Rose family. Even the entire Marquis family couldn’t compare to the Black Roses, let alone him, a second heir...
What had to be endured, still had to be endured.
Nevertheless,
Thinking back to the beautiful eyes of the young lady from the Black Rose family, a touch of infatuation surfaced in Benjamin’s heart. If he could win her heart, he would surely gain the support of the Black Rose family.
With their help, the difficulty of obtaining the title of Marquis in the future would certainly be significantly reduced.
After fantasizing about his future wonderful life, Benjamin couldn’t help but reveal a satisfied smile.
Just then,
The sound of a carriage drew Benjamin’s attention, prompting the light pink-haired man to curiously gaze at the estate’s entrance. The next moment, under the watchful eyes of Benjamin and the maids, a high-end yet not ostentatious carriage, escorted by a group of knights, entered the estate...
Oh?
Updat𝓮d from freewēbnoveℓ.com.
It seemed that the lady had returned.
Realizing this, Benjamin hastily had a maid tidy his clothes, preparing to greet Aurora.
After all,
As a distant relative, he needed to obtain the approval of the Marchioness to secure the Marquis title.
However,
Just as Benjamin was ready to greet Aurora,
The next scene left him utterly shocked as if struck by lightning, unable to recover for a long time. His eyes widened as round as eggs, and his mouth agape wide enough to swallow a soccer ball...
At that moment,
The carriage door opened, and Aurora slowly stepped down,
If it was just the lady, Benjamin wouldn’t have lost his composure,
But the issue was,
The person held in the lady’s arms!
Under the astonished and excited gazes of all the servants, a delicate little girl, resembling a porcelain doll, was held by Aurora as she stepped out of the carriage.
Staring intently at that familiar face and the girl who should have been dead long ago, Benjamin clenched his fists in rage,
’No, no, it can’t be?! Yuan’er?! How is she still alive?!’
Those,
That useless Trashs!!
