Abyssal Chronicles-Chapter 85 - 86
Sadiq Empire,
On the outskirts of the western city of Sebelius,
Where the Black Rose family’s main estate is located,
After knocking and receiving permission to enter, a woman dressed in a black and white maid outfit, with a graceful figure and deep blue hair, elegantly stepped into the simple yet dignified office of the family head.
"Your Grace, Mr. Qiu Mingtong has arrived at the City of Linfeng."
The maid spoke respectfully.
Upon hearing this,
The black-haired man sitting in his armchair with his eyes closed slowly opened his eyes and looked indifferently at the blue-haired maid.
His smooth, fair face was chiseled and handsome; his deep, black eyes were like agate, shimmering with enchanting colors and a mysterious allure; his thick eyebrows, prominent nose, and beautiful lips all exuded the man’s nobility and elegance.
Obviously,
This handsome and dignified black-haired man was the head of the Black Rose family,
The source of this c𝓸ntent is frёeweɓηovel.coɱ.
Xiao Black Rose.
He was also Sebastian ’s immediate superior.
In response to the young maid’s report, Xiao placed his hand under his chin and slightly raised his eyebrows.
"How did it go afterward?"
"Your Grace, since the Galros Fortress’s garrison was almost completely wiped out, and the troops in the City of Linfeng lost their fighting capability due to the lingering effect of the ’Blood Butterfly’ aura, Mr. Qiu Mingtong easily obtained Marquis Xiumu’s cooperation after using the excuse you prepared. He has now led the army into the Galros Fortress."
"Oh? Completely wiped out? How pitiful."
Xiao spoke faintly, but his tone had no sympathy.
"Life is truly fragile, isn’t it~"
"Yes, Your Grace."
"What is this ’Blood Butterfly’ you mentioned earlier?"
"It’s the new code name for a Demon King-level being, just released by the Asumos Church."
"Oh? I see."
Xiao nodded indifferently.
Blood Butterfly, huh?
It seems to be a somewhat ’cruel’ code name. Not quite suitable for Lady Yu Mo, as she’s so gentle.
Moreover...
"What is the Church’s positioning of the ’Blood Butterfly’? Just a Demon King-level?"
At this question, the young maid smiled playfully, her tone filled with mockery.
"Yes, a Demon King-level."
"Heh, a bunch of fools." Xiao laughed coldly and then leaned back on his chair, looking somewhat amused.
"Indeed."
The young maid neither agreed nor disagreed, slightly nodding her head.
Then,
The young maid furrowed her brows, seemingly noticing something unusual about the duke. Where was the old butler who always stood beside the duke’s desk when he was working?
Without the old butler, it felt somewhat strange.
On the other hand,
Seemingly sensing the young maid’s puzzled expression, Xiao directly asked:
"What’s the matter, Luo Wei? If you have a question, just ask."
Although Xiao usually maintained a poker face, he revealed a touch of gentleness towards the child he had adopted.
At this, Luo Wei bowed slightly with an apologetic expression.
"Sorry, Your Grace, I was just curious, where has Mr. Sebastian gone?"
"Oh, that guy~"
Saying that,
A hint of a mischievous smile appeared on Xiao’s handsome face.
He then slowly turned his head, looking out the window at the rose garden.
"As for him, he seems to be getting scolded~"
Huh?
"Scolded? Mr. Sebastian?"
Apart from the duke, the only one who could scold Sabot seemed to be...
At this thought,
Luo Wei, the young maid, showed a surprised expression and followed the duke’s gaze, curiously looking into the garden.
At this moment,
Inside the garden,
An elegant-looking old butler, dressed impeccably, appeared extremely anxious, pacing back and forth in the garden and constantly speaking into a communication magic stone in his hand.
Drop by drop, cold sweat was slowly rolling down his forehead...
...
—
"We agreed on five days of sleep, right?! It’s only been a few hours! How did she suddenly wake up?! You’d better give me a reasonable explanation! Otherwise, you’ll be in for a spanking!"
Inside the small house, Yu Mo, sitting in her bedroom chair and already changed into fresh clothes, gripped the communication magic stone in her hand tightly and questioned with slight anger.
Quickly, Sebastian’s flustered words came through the magic stone.
"Sorry, lady Yu Mo! Please calm down and let me explain!"
"Well, you’d better hurry up and explain~"
"Uh, okay. I, I think this must be an extremely rare special case!"
"What special case?"
"Normally, someone with depleted soul power would definitely fall into a deep sleep. However, according to Vissler’s theory, a very small number of special individuals will briefly awaken when exposed to some unique auras!"
"Unique auras? What kind of auras?"
"Well, it depends on the individual’s constitution."
"So, you said ’briefly awaken’?"
"Yes, they would wake up for a short period of time! Then they would fall back into a deep sleep until their soul power is restored to a certain extent. Moreover, they won’t retain any memories during the time they’re awake!"
Hearing this, Yu Mo’s eyes narrowed slightly, and she propped her chin up with her hand, seemingly deep in thought.
"No memories, huh? So will they wake up again before their soul power is fully restored?"
"No, they won’t! There has never been a recorded case of someone waking up twice in medical history!"
Upon hearing this, Yu Mo frowned slightly and asked with a doubtful tone:
"Are you... sure?"
"Yes! I’m sure! Unless, unless they encounter a phenomenon of déjà vu! But the likelihood of that is extremely low, almost negligible, so lady Yu Mo doesn’t have to worry!"
"Sigh, alright, I’ll trust you one more time. If anything goes wrong again, you’ll have you to eat the meals made by Li Yu!"
"Sigh..."
After letting out a helpless sigh, Yu Mo paid no attention to Sebastian’s rambling.
She withdrew the power of the shadow, ending her call with Sebastian, and casually threw the discarded blue magic stone out of the window.
Since Yu Mo was a little upset, her force was unintentionally a bit strong, causing the magic stone to disappear into the horizon...
After tossing the magic stone, Yu Mo quietly closed the window to keep the warmth from escaping, considering that she was not the only one in the room.
Then,
Yu Mo slowly turned her head, pensively looking at the stunning girl lying on her bed.
Oh well, since she doesn’t remember, let it be.
She had even thought of a set of lies to fool her.
It seemed that her plan was not needed now.
However,
This was for the better.
If the girl had really woken up in the cold winter forest, it would have been hard to explain...
Let her continue to rest as before.
While thinking this, Yu Mo’s appreciative gaze swept over Meng Xi’s butterfly-like eyelashes, her rosy, begonia-like lips. Her face was so tender that one couldn’t help but want to touch it, her facial features were so harmonious, sharp yet gentle, and her eyes were especially enchanting, exuding a goddess-like temperament, beautiful and filled with purity.
Then, Yu Mo’s eyes fell on Meng Xi’s exposed shoulders due to the slip dress.
Her flawless, snow-white skin and slightly messy silk fabric outshone the dazzling blue sapphire placed beside her pillow.
Meng Xi looked so soft and graceful as she slept, her body’s curves were simply breathtaking, causing Miss Yu Mo’s face to flush slightly.
"She truly is the female protagonist~"
Yu Mo couldn’t help but sigh again.
Especially those bright, starry light purple eyes – they were so soul-stirring.
Soul-stirring...
Soul...
...
Huh?!!!
Wait? Eyes?!
Oh no!!
"You! How did you wake up again?!"
Yu Mo, who suddenly realized what was happening, involuntarily let out a shocked cry.
The sudden awakening and the twice-blossoming scene startled Yu Mo, causing her to jump up from her chair!
Staring in disbelief at the silver-haired girl who had awakened once again,
Meng Xi silently met Yu Mo’s gaze with her clear, innocent eyes.
The sight caused Yu Mo’s heartbeat to accelerate involuntarily.
Moments later,
Regaining her senses, Yu Mo clenched her teeth.
What happened to not waking up?!
Sebastian,
You, little boy!
Can you be more reliable?!
Spanking or Li Yu’s cooking, you choose one when the time comes!
...
Meanwhile,
Far away in a foreign land, Sebastian felt a sudden chill down his spine and sneezed violently.
Sebastian: ?!?! Why do I suddenly have a bad premonition...?
