Abyssal Chronicles-Chapter 1153: Asking for reward~~

"Uh..."

Watching Mengxi like this, Yumo could not help but raise her hand to her forehead with mixed feelings.

In a sense, She suddenly felt a bit sympathetic toward that Guiding Saint.

After all, Having such a headache-inducing child at home.

However...

"Your auntie and uncle? You mean those Primal Ones?"

Regarding the Primal Ones,

Yumo was quite curious.

The Primal War Emperors were created by Source Star’s Creator Yukarol to assist the Saints in fighting against the Abyssal Lords. Their strength far exceeded ordinary Lv9s.

The Guiding Saint, Although she was the leader of the three great Saints, she herself did not have very strong combat ability. The reason Maya’s strength was terrifying was fundamentally because of her other identity... which was the Primal War Emperor. The Primal One’s constitution plus the Guiding Saint’s ability to foresee the future - this created Maya’s power.

On the other side, Facing Yumo’s question, Mengxi nodded noncommittally.

"Yes, those Primal Ones. Since they were all created by the Creator, they’re basically Mom’s older brothers and sisters, which makes them my aunties and uncles. They really dote on me. With them around, even Mother doesn’t dare punish me casually, hehehe~"

"I-I see?"

"Besides, I already told Auntie and Uncle before. The battle between Mother and you was all mother’s plan! Mother’s own defeat and your self-sealing - everything was according to the plan! Mother is someone who really values face, so she won’t deny it. After all, denying it would mean admitting she was outsmarted, right? Also, to prevent the spanking incident from being exposed, Mother had no choice but to bite the bullet and admit it~"

"So that’s why. No wonder even though the fight lasted so long, the other Primal Ones never interfered."

Yumo finally understand the full picture. The doubts that had troubled her for so long suddenly disappeared with Mengxi’s words.

"Not only that, Auntie and Uncle were quite cooperative with Mother’s ’plan’~ It was Uncle Iphis who used his ability to teleport the large Abyssal Demon group near Sky Nation and teleport them back at the end."

"I see... But those Primal Ones, they, they don’t suspect anything?"

"No way."

Mengxi said matter-of-factly.

"You know, I’m a simple, cute, and honest good child. How could Auntie and Uncle suspect such a cute child like me?"

Cupping her face, Mengxi stuck out her tongue playfully.

"Heh...."

Simple and honest?

Glancing at this obviously two-faced girl, Yumo could not help but sigh with mixed feelings. It seemed she was not the only one deceived by this fox’s appearance.

Suddenly she felt somewhat comforted.

"Forget it, as long as nothing happened."

"Really, what could happen to me?"

Boldly poking Yumo’s face with her finger, Mengxi said somewhat playfully.

"Even if Mother really caught me, what could she do to me? I’m her daughter. Even if she’s angry, at most it would just be a lecture."

"Emm, true."

"So wifey doesn’t need to worry about me. Rather than worrying about me, you should pay more attention to your own body, right? How did you end up in a wheelchair?"

"Sigh, can’t be helped. The backlash is like this."

Yumo sighed deeply. Thinking about the frustration of being unable to move freely these past days made her feel exhausted.

"Didn’t we already expect this beforehand? Forcibly fusing Judgment Divine Power and Shadow Power - this is the result. Wanting to truly step into that Supreme Domain you mentioned is too difficult, okay? Besides, my situation is still pretty good. That day, Momo exhausted all her soul power to help me maintain the balance of divine power and Shadow Power in my body. She still hasn’t woken up even now."

"Is that so?"

"Yup."

Thinking of Momo curled up on the bed in her consciousness space, still motionless and asleep until now, Yumo felt a pang of heartache. Since Momo moved into her consciousness space, her body had never been this quiet for three or four consecutive days. For a moment, Yumo even felt somewhat unaccustomed to it.

"That silly Momo worked hard too. I’ll find a chance to reward her later."

Yumo made this decision.

"Hmm?"

Upon hearing this, Mengxi raised her eyebrows. A trace of displeasure deliberately overflowed from her light purple eyes.

"Hm?"

The next moment, Under Yumo’s somewhat puzzled gaze, Mengxi pressed her cheek against Yumo’s side face. Her eyes flickered with gloom and resentment. At the same time, Mengxi lightly bit Yumo’s earlobe and even used her silver hair to lightly tickle Yumo’s neck.

Regarding Mengxi’s actions, Yumo could not help but furrow her brow.

She sensed Mengxi’s little mood.

"What’s wrong?"

Hearing those words, Mengxi nuzzled Yumo’s cheek again and swayed over to lie directly on her lap. She suddenly put on an exaggerated cute act—pouting her lips and blinking her watery purple eyes."

"Emmm, then what about me? Wasn’t I working hard too?"

"You?"

"Yes~ Momo provided all her power to you and even fell unconscious. What about me? For several months straight I’ve been transmitting spiritual power to you every single day! Day and night being pinned down on the bed. Getting drained as soon as I recovered a bit of energy. Constantly taking medicine to recover my stamina, then constantly getting drained! Those few months I was exhausted too, okay?"

"..."

An awkward smile flashed across Yumo’s face. After all, what Mengxi said was the truth.

The power within Mengxi was extremely close to the Saint’s divine power. The two previous uses of Judgment Divine Power both relied on Mengxi’s power supply. To deal with Maya, she needed to simultaneously maintain the power of both the Judgment Saint and the Abyssal Lord. This process undoubtedly required large amounts of Mengxi’s spiritual power.

And so, in the three months before the plan officially started, she absorbed spiritual power from Mengxi day and night. She stored it in her body. She almost drained this girl dry.

Recalling those indescribable daily routines from that time, a trace of apology appeared on Yumo’s face.

Seeing this, Mengxi pressed her advantage and continued.

"And also! To interfere with Mother’s spell chanting, I was constantly tormented by your eldest daughter! Chili peppers, tickling, and all sorts of things. I almost died!"

"..."

"So I worked hard too! I want A REWARD too!"

Mengxi seriously met Yumo’s eyes and emphasized solemnly.

Hearing this, Yumo smiled helplessly yet dotingly and raised her hand to rub the silver-haired girl’s head.

"Alright, alright, I know. I’ll give you what you want. But you little brat, you don’t want it right now, do you?"

Meeting Mengxi’s sparkling eyes, Yumo’s expression became somewhat strange.

In response, Mengxi laughed lightly and waved her hand. She denied Yumo’s idea.

"Well, although darling’s current weak and sickly appearance is also quite appetizing, but... let’s let you rest peacefully first. As for the reward, let’s put it on the tab for now. I’ll slowly collect it from you later! Since you made me suffer so much before, I need to think carefully about how to get it back."

"Fine, Whatever you want to do, I’ll cooperate later. Just like our previous agreement."

"Hehe, when the time comes, you better not regret it~"

"I won’t...."

At worst, I’ll just activate Karmic Reversal and let you taste your own medicine~

Licking her lips, Yumo cunningly revealed a wicked smile.

...

After finishing her act of cuteness and obtaining the promise she wanted, Mengxi silently came behind Yumo and pushed her wheelchair toward the villa.

"By the way."

While walking, Mengxi spoke thoughtfully.

"What is it?"

"When you fought with Mother before, did you feel... emm, that she was holding back?"
