Abyssal Chronicles-Chapter 95 - 96

"I want to ask about Bernard."

As Feng Ling uttered those words,

Xue Tianao’s expression changed slightly. After pondering and looking towards a nearby window, he hooked his arm around Feng Ling’s shoulder again.

"My dear sister, this isn’t the place to talk."

As soon as he finished speaking,

A faint golden light suddenly spread around Xue Tianao’s body.

In the next instant,

Xue Tianao and Feng Ling disappeared abruptly after a wave of magical fluctuations...

--

"This, what just happened?!"

The sudden change caught Feng Ling off guard, and she couldn’t help but let out a gasp. When she regained her senses, she found herself on the top of the Falling Leaves Palace with Xue Tianao...

After taking a look at the vast and magnificent cityscape, Feng Ling turned her head towards her brother, though she didn’t dare look him in the eye, focusing on his sharp eyebrows instead.

"What’s the reason for suddenly bringing me here?!"

"Haha, nothing really, just enjoying the scenery. We haven’t had a good chat for a long time, why don’t we talk today?"

"Sorry, Imperial Brother, I don’t have anything to talk about with you."

"what a shame." Xue Tianao feigned regret and sighed.

Then, the handsome and unrestrained man sat down on the rooftop, crossing his legs, and leisurely gazed at the imperial city.

"Bernard, my royal brother? Sigh, it’s a pity he was killed by the Blood Butterfly. Don’t worry, sister, I will avenge him in the future."

"Heeeh!,"

Hearing Xue Tianao’s words, Feng Ling couldn’t help but snort coldly.

"Imperial Brother, stop pretending. Bernard might have been a bit foolish, but he was very good at escaping. Under those circumstances, he would have used a spatial teleportation to return to the palace! Also, I found bloodstains in the imperial garden, and they belonged to Bernard."

"Oh? Are you saying there’s an assassin in our palace? Someone who killed my beloved brother?"

"Heh, isn’t that assassin you? My dear Imperial Brother, who else would attack Bernard?"

"..."

As Feng Ling spoke, the fourth princess stared silently at Xue Tianao for several seconds.

"Hehe~ Hahahaha! As expected of my sister, you’re so smart, it’s no wonder I’ve always had high hopes for you!"

After a moment of silence, Xue Tianao laughed unrestrainedly.

Since he had casually set up a soundproofing spell around them, he wasn’t worried about their conversation being overheard. Besides, even if someone heard, those near Falling Leaves Palace were his trusted confidants.

After his wild laughter,

Xue Tianao playfully looked at Feng Ling.

"Yes, indeed, I killed him."

"Why, why did you kill him?! He was your brother!"

"But, he never treated me as a brother, did he? Have you forgotten how he bullied me when we were young?"

"That was when you were young and didn’t know any better!"

"Hehe, right, I don’t care if they’re ignorant or not, and even if it was because of their ignorance at that time. But what about now? He never respected me, right? He even colluded with Father to trip me up for the Crown Prince’s position. And I didn’t just kill him for no reason, I warned him twice already. You know, Feng Ling, I never give anyone a third chance."

Feeling the chill in Xue Tian’s gaze, Feng Ling couldn’t help but slightly control her emotions.

"What has he done again?"

"Hehe, he’s done quite a lot while I was away on a foreign visit. He helped Father weaken my influence in the SkyDome, meddled with my mines, sent people to poison me, and even made the decision to attack the Saintess using a magic energy fission bomb."

"Bernard...he actually targeted the Saintess?"

Hearing this, Feng Ling couldn’t help but reveal a hint of surprise. After all, since meeting the Chosen One, Bernard had been completely enamored with the beautiful and holy girl, as if he were in love. How could he suddenly attack her?

Noticing Feng Ling’s confusion, Xue Tianao laughed heartily.

"Haha, don’t get too caught up, my sister. He’s just holding onto the foolish idea of ’if I can’t have it, destroy it.’"

"So you killed him?"

"If he doesn’t die, what do we have to explain to the Asumos church? Besides, there’s only one way to die for someone who targets my woman."

Hearing this, although Feng Ling was extremely displeased, she didn’t dare to berate Xue Tianao. If this man really dared to attack the Third Prince, it meant he already had the confidence to challenge the Emperor.

However, the girl couldn’t help but frown.

"Your...your woman? Xue Tian, as far as I remember, you’ve only met the Chosen One twice, right? How did she become yours? And your harem already includes five, including Lilia. Are you still not satisfied?"

"Hehe, don’t use that tone."

Regarding Feng Ling’s question, Xue Tianao dismissively waved his hand.

"I’m a man who will save the world; what’s wrong with having a few more wives? As for the Chosen One, she’s destined to be with me."

"Destined? Hehe, where does your confidence come from? What makes you think she’d really want to be with you?"

"Why not?"

"She’s the Chosen One, the most revered woman in the prophecy. How could she be willing to share a man with other women?"

"Hehe, I’ve already considered that."

"Considered it?"

"Yes, that’s why I’ve reserved the position of my main wife for her! Even if she’s unwilling, it doesn’t matter. No one can resist my ’Eyes of Destiny.’ These eyes can see through others’ emotions by looking at them, and can also invisibly increase others’ goodwill towards me. As long as I want to, there’s no one I can’t win over."

As he spoke, Xue Tianao revealed a confident smile. With a quick movement, he suddenly appeared beside Feng Ling and without saying anything, he embraced her in his arms, slowly speaking with a magnetic voice:

"Besides, not just the Chosen one. My dear Feng Ling, you’ll eventually belong to me too."

"You!.... Don’t daydream! Father won’t allow such nonsense!"

"Hehe, that old man can’t stop me, but don’t worry, I won’t force you. You can take your time to think about it."

"..."

Looking at the man before her, familiar yet strange, and even frightening, Feng Ling couldn’t help but clench her fists.

Indeed, she couldn’t entrust Meng Xi to someone like him...

--

At the same time,

Deep in the eastern part of the Cold Winter Forest, in a small wooden house,

In Yu Mo’s room,

Meng Xi, who was sleeping on the bed, suddenly shuddered and furrowed her brow, as if she had a nightmare or felt an inexplicable chill. Her delicate body trembled...

Seeing this, Yu Mo, who had been accompanying her for a long time, showed a hint of worry.

’Is this a nightmare?’

Thinking so, Yu Mo gently patted the silver-haired girl’s back and softly spoke in a comforting tone:

"Don’t be afraid~ Don’t be afraid~ Big sister is here with you~"

"No one can hurt you~"

"If anyone wants to harm you, I’ll slaughter them, okay~"

"Don’t be afraid, don’t be afraid~"

...

...

With Yu Mo’s comforting words, Meng Xi gradually calmed down. After letting out a cute "Mm," she continued to hug her teddy bear tightly...

"Sigh~"

Seeing this, Yu Mo let out a sigh of relief.

For a moment, she thought the medicine had some side effects. It seems that it was just a simple nightmare. But why did she suddenly have a nightmare?

Never mind,

Let’s check again,

With that thought, Yu Mo slowly closed her eyes.

A gentle wave of Shadow power spread out, enveloping Meng Xi’s body, carefully sensing her condition.

Mmm~

It seems that the effect is quite good~

After sensing for a brief moment, Yu Mo revealed a satisfied, sweet smile.

With another treatment tonight, after the female lead’s full recovery,

She should be able to reach the early stage of the Sixth Rank.

Hehe~

In this way, she will be one step closer to the Eighth Rank.

Fine, that’s enough for now.

Nodding silently and patting Meng Xi’s head, Yu Mo slowly left the bedroom and carefully closed the door.

"Now..."

The black-haired girl muttered to herself, thoughtfully looking towards the mountain peak in the distance. That was where the bai Yanluo was being held.

That Heavenly Apostle,

Enmm,

It’s time to consider how to deal with her.

Speaking of which, how are female knights like her, who fall into the enemy’s hands, usually handled...
