Inside Yumo's bedroom,

Mm?

Hm?

“Y-Yumo Sister?”

As the bright sunlight streamed into the room, Mengxi, who seemed to have fully absorbed the effects of the medicine, gradually awoke from her slumber.

The silver-haired girl sat up groggily, rubbing her sleepy little eyes before curiously looking around, trying to find that familiar black-haired figure.

However,

This time, Mengxi was disappointed.

After looking around for a while, she found nothing.

The black-haired girl who had been constantly taking care of her recently was neither sitting beside the bed nor motionlessly sitting on the chair as before. She had completely disappeared. The entire wooden house seemed so quiet that even a pin drop could be heard.

“Hm? Sister isn't here?”

Mengxi narrowed her light-purple eyes slightly.

After thinking for a moment, the girl slowly got out of bed and put on the black fur coat Yumo had prepared for her earlier.

After taking basic measures against the cold, Mengxi left the room and walked straight out of the wooden house.

Outside, the icy wind howled fiercely. The merciless blizzard obscured her vision, making everything appear blurry and indistinct.

Yet Mengxi's expression remained completely unchanged.

Facing the piercing cold wind, the silver-haired girl gazed thoughtfully at the distant mountain peaks.

Then, putting on her hood, she silently walked toward the forest...

—

Meanwhile,

“Awoooo, Mother is so mean! Mother is a bully! My butt, awoooo~!”

On a mountain cave not far from the wooden house, little Limo drooped her ears and let out pitiful cries.

At this moment,

Inside the cave guarded by several seventh-tier Abyss Demons, the wolf girl was lying on her stomach miserably, sticking up her reddened backside.

Because of the constant burning pain, Limo didn't dare sit down at all. She could only lie down or stand. She didn't even dare put on her pants.

The pain from her wounds simply made it impossible to endure...

Under normal circumstances, such superficial injuries meant nothing to Demon King-class Limo. Pain was something she could easily tolerate.

More importantly, with her astonishing regenerative abilities, wounds of this scale would recover completely in the blink of an eye.

However,

After receiving a thorough beating from Yumo's 'feather duster,' things became entirely different.

The 'feather duster' was a divine artifact specially crafted by Yumo to educate disobedient children! Not only was it indestructible, but it also amplified damage and multiplied pain several times over! Even Demon King-class beings would suffer lingering pain after being struck! Furthermore, it carried a curse effect, making the wounds impossible to heal quickly.

Which was why,

Limo was still lying on her stomach crying in pain.

“Wuuuu, it hurts so much, Liyu~”

With slightly reddened eyes, Limo sniffled and turned her head toward the exquisitely adorable gray-haired girl behind her—her younger sister, Liyu.

Facing her sister's whimpering, Liyu could only sigh helplessly.

“Sigh, Sister, you really brought this upon yourself...”

“Wuuuu, how can you say that~”

“Sigh, stop wiggling your butt around. Let me apply some medicine!”

Looking at the soft white little butt covered in injuries, even Liyu felt a lingering fear and couldn't help recalling the tragic days when she herself had been disciplined as a child.

Still,

For Mother to actually bring out the 'feather duster'...

It seemed she had truly become serious this time and intended to teach Sister a proper lesson...

Enmm,

Though, Sister really was too reckless sometimes...

Thinking this, Liyu smeared pain-relief ointment onto her little hand and suddenly slapped it onto Limo's butt, causing the latter's entire body to twitch violently.

“Awoooo!! Liyu, what are you doing?! Be gentler!”

“Sorry, sorry~”

Puffing her cheeks, Liyu giggled mischievously.

Still, laughter aside,

Her little hands carefully applied the medicine to her sister's wounds, trying her best not to hurt her. No matter what, hearing Sister scream still made Liyu's heart ache.

At the same time,

Little Liyu also felt somewhat guilty.

After all, she had run away rather quickly last night...

But that couldn't be helped!

That was the dreaded 'feather duster' that even Demon King-class beings feared!!

?!!

Hm?

At that moment, while silently treating Limo's wounds, Liyu suddenly heard a faint groan.

Instantly, the gentle expression on her face vanished, replaced by an icy killing intent.

'Hm? Waking up again?'

At that moment,

Reflected in Liyu's emerald eyes was the white-haired girl chained tightly to the wall—the Heavenly Apostle of the Asumos Church, Miss White Yama.

She let out a weak groan. Her fingers trembled slightly as surrounding energy gradually flowed into her body.

Clearly,

This was a sign she was about to awaken.

Liyu, however, was already accustomed to it.

White Yama was a genuine Sword God-level powerhouse with an extraordinary physique. Recovering from her previous concussion posed no difficulty whatsoever.

But naturally, Liyu had no intention of allowing such a threat to awaken.

The next moment,

Her emerald eyes narrowed slightly.

Without another word, she raised the gigantic hammer she had prepared beforehand and mercilessly brought it down on White Yama's head!

“Boom~~”

Accompanied by a crisp crashing sound and the trembling of the surrounding Abyss Demons,

White Yama immediately fainted once more beneath the hammer... 𝕗𝚛𝚎𝚎𝐰𝗲𝗯𝗻𝚘𝚟𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝕞

As for little Liyu?

She casually tossed the hammer aside and continued applying medicine to her sister's butt as though nothing had happened.

Judging from her practiced movements and the enormous bump on White Yama's head, she had clearly done this many times over the past few days...

“Awu?”

Glancing at White Yama, who had once again fallen unconscious, Limo showed a trace of displeasure and curiously looked toward her younger sister.

“Liyu, isn't that the woman who fought me before?”

“Yep. She's the Heavenly Apostle of the Asumos Church.”

“An Apostle, huh? Then why don't we just get rid of her?”

“Get rid of your head! Mother is watching! Don't mess around!”

“Wuuuu, fine...”

Limo puffed out her cheeks unhappily.

Looking at White Yama's snow-white long legs wrapped in stockings and recalling how she had been kicked before, a fierce glint flashed through Limo's crimson eyes.

Since she couldn't kill her...

Biting her a few times should be okay, right?

Apparently sensing her sister's thoughts, Liyu helplessly slapped Limo's butt again.

Pia!!

“Awuuu!!”

The intense pain instantly dispersed the killing intent in Limo's eyes, and she looked innocently at Liyu.

“What was that for?!”

“Nothing. Just reminding you. Mother said not to attack her. Sister, don't tell me you want to experience the 'feather duster' again?”

Liyu asked leisurely.

Upon hearing the words 'feather duster,' Limo shuddered violently and hurriedly shook her head.

The dangerous thought was immediately thrown out of her little head.

“Wuuuu, alright...”

The wolf cub lay down dejectedly.

And just then,

Seemingly sensing something, the furry ears atop the wolf girl's head suddenly stood upright!

Liyu also raised an eyebrow slightly.

The several gigantic seventh-tier Abyss Demons around the sisters instinctively prostrated themselves on the ground.

The next moment,

Under the sisters' delighted gazes,

Amidst a swirl of crimson light and countless blood-red butterflies,

An incomparably beautiful black-haired girl appeared at the entrance of the cave.

“Mother!!”
