Vol 2. Chapter 4: Little Test?
“Well then, since Mother has said so, I won't disturb you anymore.”
After hearing Yumo's firm words,
Liyu, knowing there was no point in saying more, once again returned to her usual obedient appearance, satisfaction written all over her little face.
Then, after grabbing Limo by the tail and dragging her out of the bathroom, the gray-haired little girl silently closed the wooden door behind her.
However,
the moment the door shut, the smile on Liyu's face froze in place.
In the next instant, the smile faded at a speed visible to the naked eye, replaced by an expression filled with coldness and killing intent.
Liyu couldn't help biting her thumb.
This was her trademark gesture whenever she was displeased to the extreme.
‘Damn it...’
Although Mother agreeing to bathe her was certainly something worth being happy about,
still,
the thought that Mother might have agreed only to protect that damned Child of Destiny made it impossible for Liyu to feel truly happy.
Seriously,
‘She actually brought that woman back?!’
Liyu grumbled inwardly.
If Mother had left the female lead inside Garos Fortress, she could have used the Black Rose Family to secretly do something while the girl was unconscious! Of course, she wouldn't kill her directly, but planting a little bomb inside her body and quietly ruining her cultivation ability without anyone noticing...
But,
to her surprise, Mother had actually brought that woman back to the Winter Forest?! And she was personally taking care of her at that. This... this was troublesome...
Liyu sank into thought.
“Awuuu~~”
Just then, a low whimper entered her ears. At the same time, she felt something tugging at her skirt.
“Big Sister! Stop fooling around! Mother picked this skirt for me!!”
Looking down at the little white wolf biting the hem of her skirt, Liyu couldn't help scolding softly.
“Awu?”
The little white wolf shuddered after being yelled at by her younger sister and unconsciously loosened her bite.
Seizing the opportunity, Liyu hurriedly rescued her skirt from Limo's mouth.
Seeing that it hadn't suffered much damage, she breathed a slight sigh of relief before looking helplessly at her big sister.
“What is it, Big Sister?”
“Awu, awu!! Awuuu! Awoo!”
“Eh? Right now?!”
“Awuuu!”
“But right now, I—”
“Awu awu!!”
“Ah, fine. I really can't do anything about you.”
“Meowu~”
“...”
Watching the little white wolf wagging her tail non-stop, Liyu helplessly held her forehead.
Although Limo had already become completely “husky-ified,” for some inexplicable reason, Liyu, as her younger sister, could understand her words with astonishing accuracy.
It was precisely because of that that Yumo felt at ease leaving Limo in Liyu's care.
Well,
there really wasn't anyone else who could look after her anyway...
Liyu felt utterly helpless regarding her big sister's request, but in order to appease her, the gray-haired girl had no choice but to agree.
“Seriously. You actually want to soak in a bath now? Did Mother rub off on you? Sigh, fine, fine. I'll take you there. You're dirty enough anyway...”
Liyu spoke with mock disgust.
Then,
she opened her arms toward the little white wolf.
And Limo happily leaped up and threw herself into Liyu's embrace.
Quietly hugging her big sister,
Liyu thoughtfully glanced back toward the bathroom where Yumo was.
Afterward,
the little girl cast a meaningful glance at the white wolf in her arms, her emerald eyes narrowing slightly.
The female lead being here
was undoubtedly a major matter.
But right now, Big Sister was completely incapable of helping.
No, wait.
Even in her normal state, she couldn't help.
Or rather, she would only make things worse...
‘I'll have to discuss it with someone else...’
Thinking this, Liyu thoughtfully looked toward the great lake in the central region of the Winter Forest.
Come to think of it,
that person...
had they woken up yet?
...
However, just as Liyu was thinking, the little white wolf's urging cries rang out beside her ears again, forcibly pulling the gray-haired girl back to reality.
“Meowuuuu!!”
“...”
Big Sister,
honestly,
I really can't tell whether you're a wolf, a dog, or a cat anymore...
Liyu rolled her eyes at her sister and silently complained.
“Fine, I'll take you to wash now, so stop licking me already!! Seriously, stupid Big Sister!!”
Looking at her chest, which had become wet and slippery from all the licking,
then touching her face, which was covered in strange saliva, Liyu once again let out a helpless sigh.
Forget it.
She'd just wash herself too later...
After making up her mind, Liyu carried the little white wolf toward another bathroom.
At the same time, another trace of dissatisfaction surfaced in her heart, and she kindly sent some greetings to Saiboke-Baniya, who was thousands of miles away.
‘Saiboke, you idiot, why did you build three bathrooms?! Wouldn't one giant bath have been better?!’
That way, in the future, they could naturally drag Mother into bathing together with them...
Complaining wildly in her heart,
Liyu removed her little dress and entered the bathroom naked while carrying the little white wolf.

Meanwhile,
after Liyu took Limo away, Yumo resumed her work.
Namely, cleaning the female lead's body.
Although she inevitably blushed slightly at first,
after a while, Yumo's emotions gradually stabilized.
She was starting to get used to it~
After washing Mengxi's beautiful silver hair,
Yumo took out a specially-made soft towel and carefully wiped Mengxi's body.
From her slender swan-like neck, to her beautiful collarbones, to her alluring fragrant shoulders, to her soft jade-like arms, then to the indescribable middle area, and finally to those elegant, shapely long legs and delicate smooth feet that almost made one want to lick them...
The towel in Yumo's hand was like a tireless explorer, investigating every hidden inch of the silver-haired girl's delicate and beautiful body...
Again and again, the exploration continued.
Gradually,
the clear warm water became cloudy with bloodstains.
After changing the water two more times, the silver-haired girl's body finally returned to its spotless, flawless jade-like state.
At this moment, Yumo's work had finally come to an end.
After completing the cleaning,
if before, Yumo and Mengxi had basically broken even, with neither side taking advantage of the other,
then now...
Yumo had won big.
“Alright, finally finished.”
Looking at the incomparably beautiful and delicate silver-haired girl inside the bath, Yumo revealed a relieved smile.
What a job that was both torture and enjoyment~
Miss Yumo couldn't help sighing inwardly.
At the same time,
a slight feeling of envy emerged in her heart.
And the object of that envy was naturally the Child of Destiny she had never met.
Sigh...
To be able to marry such a gentle, kind, beautiful girl with a figure capable of making people bleed from the nose...
Just how many lifetimes' worth of blessings had he accumulated?
‘Sigh, I'm a little jealous~’
Yumo couldn't help lamenting.
However,
while lying against the edge of the bath and gazing at Mengxi's breathtaking face, Yumo frowned slightly.
Come to think of it,
there was something she was rather curious about.
During the battle with those people from the Heavenly Punishment Holy Church, the atmosphere around the female lead had felt somewhat strange.
Perhaps it had just been her imagination,
but she felt as if she had sensed a trace of Shadow of Silence Power from Mengxi?
That power belonging to Abyss Demons?!
Although ever since she began cleaning her and until now, Yumo had failed to sense any suspicious power from Mengxi, some doubts still remained in her heart.
Could it have been an illusion?
She was the future Saintess, after all!
How could she possibly possess Shadow of Silence Power?!
...
Um,
perhaps it would be better to test it, just to be safe.
Thinking this,
Yumo narrowed her crimson eyes slightly and stretched out her slender jade-like finger toward Mengxi's forehead.
At the same time, a wisp of faint crimson Shadow of Silence Power slowly seeped out from her fingertip and drifted toward Mengxi's forehead.
Then,
in the next instant,
under Yumo's slightly stunned gaze,
that strand of crimson Shadow of Silence Power was instantly absorbed by Mengxi.
Yumo: Huh??!!
Th-this...
What's going on?!
