Abyssal Chronicles-Chapter 102 - 103: Slumber

"Big sister Yumo, why are you so nice to me?"

Mengxi continued to lean on Yumo’s shoulder, gazing at the palm of her right hand while slowly asking the question.

In her tone, there seemed to be no curiosity, no confusion, and even less of her previous innocent purity.

Her indifferent tone made Yumo feel slightly uneasy. The black-haired girl couldn’t help but furrow her eyebrows and looked at the silver-haired girl beside her with puzzlement.

To be honest, Mengxi’s behavior today left Yumo quite perplexed.

"Why are you suddenly asking this?"

After hearing Yumo’s question, Mengxi raised her head again, abruptly meeting Yumo’s crimson eyes. At this moment, Mengxi’s light purple eyes regained their previous innocence. Her curious, blinking eyes were as captivating as the stars in the night sky.

"Just curious~"

The indifference in Mengxi’s words instantly vanished, leaving behind only a strong curiosity and an undefendable innocence...

Hmm?

Looking at the pure and innocent girl, who could almost be called the embodiment of cuteness, Yumo was momentarily taken aback. Her crimson eyes were filled with confusion and doubt.

Just now, was it her illusion?

Yumo couldn’t help but think so.

However, why was she so kind to her?

Did all children ask such questions?

As Yumo gazed at Mengxi’s clear, unblemished light purple gemstone-like pupils, she couldn’t help but purse her lips.

As for why... well, if she had to say, wasn’t it because Mengxi was the protagonist? She had been so weak these past few days, and if Yumo didn’t take good care of her, who would be there to defeat her, the final boss, later on?!

It had taken her such a long time to meet this Chosen One~

Of course, she had to take good care of her~

However, it seemed that these words weren’t quite suitable for saying directly to this child.

She might as well use the words that children liked to hear instead.

With that thought, Yumo regained her composure, rubbed the young girl’s head, and said with a gentle laugh,

"That’s because Mengxi, you are well-behaved and adorable. Big sister really likes you. And, um, to be honest, you’re also very important to me."

"Im... important?"

"Yes~"

"Why?"

"Enmmm, about that..."

Yumo raised her hand to cover her mouth and playfully stuck out her tongue.

"You’ll have to guess~"

"Wuu wuu wuu, Big sister is so mean!"

"Hehe~"

Yumo playfully revealed a naughty expression and teasingly flicked Mengxi’s forehead.

"As for why, I’ll tell you later~"

Well, there probably won’t be a chance to tell her later...

Yumo muttered regretfully in her heart.

"Fine, alright."

Seeing that Yumo didn’t want to say more, Mengxi didn’t ask further, continuing to obediently lean against Yumo. However, at this moment, a slight frustration seemed to appear on the silver-haired girl’s delicate face.

Upon noticing this, Yumo raised her eyebrows and hurriedly began to change the subject.

"Let’s drop that subject. Little Mengxi, do you remember what you promised your sister just now?"

"Hmm? What was it?"

"Hehe, it was to take the medicine, of course~"

As she spoke, a surge of crimson power radiated from Yumo, and a golden pill appeared at the tip of her fingers. It was the ’Soul Casting Medicine.’

"Didn’t I say earlier? If your sister accompanies you for a bath, you have to obediently take your medicine~ Little Mengxi, you need to keep your promises."

"Uhm, okay. It won’t be bitter, right?"

Mengxi seemed a bit unwilling but nodded her head.

However,

Seeing that the girl didn’t continue to object, Yumo let out a sigh of relief. She carefully held the medicine and brought it to Mengxi’s mouth.

"Here, it’s not bitter. Hmm, if you’re afraid, how about I feed you a few more candies afterward?"

"Alright."

"Good, Mengxi is so well-behaved. Now, come on, open wide~" Yumo continued with a tone as if coaxing a child.

However,

Seeing Mengxi’s expression still held a trace of reluctance, Yumo thought she might need more convincing.

But,

This time,

Yumo’s judgment seemed to be wrong.

Because the next moment, Mengxi’s face showed no reluctance, and she obediently opened her lovely cherry-red mouth.

"Ah~"

Huh?

Seeing Mengxi not making a fuss but opening her mouth so cooperatively, Yumo was surprised. After a brief hesitation, she prepared to put the ’Soul Casting Medicine’ into Mengxi’s mouth. However, before she could, Mengxi’s mouth eagerly met her fingers.

Eh?!

The next instant,

Under Yumo’s slightly astonished gaze, Mengxi playfully bit down, snatching the golden pill held between Yumo’s thumb and index finger into her mouth! Caught off guard, Yumo stood there dumbfounded.

However,

Mengxi bit down not just on the golden pill, but also on Yumo’s two fingers.

Yumo wanted to say something.

After all, in her view, this little girl probably had a bit of a temper and wanted to bite her fingers in retaliation. But for Mengxi’s dental safety, Yumo decided to gently scold and soothe her.

"Mengxi, that, uh..."

But,

Before Yumo could say more, Mengxi slowly loosened her bite. After taking the golden pill into her mouth, she released Yumo’s fingers.

Then, the silver-haired girl tilted her adorable head with a mischievous grin.

"Mengxi, what’s this?"

"Eating candy~"

"Eh?!"

Mengxi’s answer left Yumo quite confused, her crimson eyes filled with puzzlement.

Seeing Yumo’s baffled expression, Mengxi acted as if possessed by a little devil, moving her face right up to Yumo’s. Their noses were almost touching.

"Sister Yumo, didn’t you say after taking the medicine, I can have candy?"

"Well, I did say that, but you...biting my hand, and eating candy?"

"Because, sister’s hand is so sweet~"

Mengxi said teasingly.

"Huh?"

Hearing that, Yumo hesitated for a moment.

Why does it feel like

She’s serious??

No, no, what am I thinking…

After glancing at her fingers covered in Mengxi’s saliva, Yumo couldn’t help but blush slightly, feeling a bit embarrassed. She raised her hand and flicked the girl’s forehead playfully.

"You little rascal, stop joking around!"

"Hehe~"

Mengxi simply smiled sweetly, without saying much.

The next moment,

Under Yumo’s slightly astonished and shocked gaze, an irresistible drowsiness seemed to instantly attack Mengxi’s brain, causing the silver-haired girl to sway unsteadily…

Huh?

What’s going on?!

"Mengxi?"

Accompanied by Yumo’s worried words, the silver-haired girl slowly closed her eyes and fell into Yumo’s embrace…

Seeing this scene, Yumo’s eyes narrowed suddenly.

She hastily released a gentle surge of power from within her body, checking Mengxi’s condition.

Fortunately,

After a brief examination, Yumo found that Mengxi’s body was not seriously harmed.

The reason

For suddenly fainting was simply due to a sudden surge of soul power restoration…

Hmm?

’Does the medicine also have the effect of speeding up the recovery of soul power?’

Yumo couldn’t help but wonder in her heart.

However,

After thinking for a moment, Yumo couldn’t help but frown, slowly looking at her two fingers still covered in Mengxi’s saliva, her crimson eyes narrowing slightly.

This…

As the embodiment of the Devil Palace, the amount of power in Yumo’s body was simply astonishing. For Yumo, who had to control such a massive force, she would not notice if the power grew a little on its own or accidentally leaked out a bit.

But,

At this moment, Yumo wasn’t sure if it was her imagination, but the part of her finger that was just in Mengxi’s mouth,

Seemed to have lost some of its power.

Although it was negligible to Yumo, it seemed to have actually diminished a bit…

And just as Yumo was staring at her fingers, lost in thought,

On the bathroom wall,

A series of energy fluctuations suddenly occurred.

The next instant,

Surrounded by blue and gold power, a beautiful blue-haired girl emerged from the wall like a ghost, opening her lovely, sleepy golden eyes.

After stretching her waist,

The blue-haired girl slowly phased through the wall and floated behind Yumo.

"Mommy, are you looking for Shuoyue?"
