Without many words or gestures, the black-haired girl rely gazed at the crack briefly before hastily turning and leaving the church, leaving only the echoes of her footsteps and fluttering clothes in her wake.
When Qiu Mingtong and others guarding the Silver Moon Cathedral saw Yumo erge, they excitedly bowed along with mbers of the Black Rose family. Having not seen Yumo for so long, they naturally yearned to speak with her and receive her attention. Usually, Yumo would stop to check on these children she had raised.
However, this ti, Yumo seed deeply troubled and didn’t even notice the familiar children outside, hurrying away instead. This left Qiu Mingtong and the others visibly deflated.
Inside the church, watching the black-haired girl leave, Xiao knitted his brows, knowing Yumo’s personality well. He glanced confused at the spatial rift sealed within the Shadow Power barrier behind him and turned to Kalina:
"Lady Yumo seems troubled by sothing."
"Indeed," Kalina nodded slightly.
"It must be because of this spatial rift."
"Do you have any thoughts? What exactly is bothering Lady Yumo?"
"I’m not sure. Mother usually tells us everything, but this ti... she doesn’t seem to want to talk," Kalina said gloomily, looking in the direction their mother had gone. "Actually, Mother has seed preoccupied lately."
"Has she always been like this?"
"Yes, since returning to Winter Forest, I’ve had this feeling. Being with us should be a joyful thing. But sotis when Mother looks at us, I catch glimpses of hesitation in her eyes. The other day, when we were resting with Mother in her room - you know how she usually stays completely still like a statue when resting? But those nights, she just sat against the headboard, quietly watching us, lost in thought."
"Really?" Xiao responded with surprise. "The continental crisis is basically over and the trials are complete. What could Lady Yumo be worried about? Is it about Eos?"
"I don’t think so... but whatever Mother’s been suppressing seems to have been triggered by this spatial rift."
Xiao then turned his questioning gaze to ngxi.
"Miss ngxi, do you know anything about this?"
"Not really," ngxi shook her head firmly. "I’ll go after her and see."
Without waiting for a response or acknowledging Xiao’s strange look, ngxi enveloped herself in silvery holy light and shot out of Silver Moon Cathedral in pursuit of Yumo.
Half an hour later, tracking the lingering traces of Yumo’s aura in the air, ngxi quickly determined her location - the Purple Night Palace she had specially built for Yumo years ago.
After a flash of silver light, ngxi appeared in the palace’s front courtyard. The gardeners there started to bow at her appearance, but ngxi pressed a finger to her lips, gesturing for silence. Though confused, the servants obediently followed their sovereign’s command.
Then ngxi tiptoed into Purple Night Palace, through the silent, ornate corridors, and finally into Yumo’s private chambers - an intimate space filled with warmth. The room was decorated with elegant, soft furnishings, dim light filtering through the curtains to create a quiet, refined atmosphere.
There, Yumo’s figure curled up quietly on the bed, her posture sowhat defensive, as if protecting herself from the outside world. Gone was her usual warm smile, replaced by a lancholic, pensive expression. Her eyes were unfocused, seemingly troubled by invisible worries.
"Hah…." Seeing her sister like this, ngxi sighed helplessly and walked slowly to the bedside. "Yumo, what’s wrong? If sothing’s bothering you, just tell ... Huh?"
However, before ngxi could finish, Yumo shook her head and cut her off.
"Let’s not talk about that... shall we do sothing fun instead?~"
"Hmm?"
Hearing these words, ngxi froze, staring at the black-haired girl on the bed in surprise. While Yumo still sat hugging her knees, her gaze had lost its earlier hesitation and uncertainty, becoming subtle and profound. Her ruby eyes now held an indescribable allure.
Her eyes tilted upward playfully, with a hint of mischief, as if able to capture the secrets in others’ souls. Her eyelashes trembled slightly, and every demure smile carried an irresistible charm.
In this mont, the black-haired girl exuded an undeniable seductiveness from head to toe.
"Yumo, what are you doing...?"
"What am I doing...?"
The black-haired girl smiled teasingly, unhurriedly extending her delicate tongue to lick her cherry-like lips.
"My~ my~ why ask when you already know~"
As if to help ngxi understand, Yumo removed her black velvet shawl, revealing snow-white shoulders, and undid several buttons at her chest...
Not only that, Yumo slowly raised her slender feet, wrapped in white silk stockings. The stockings clung to her skin, appearing translucent and pure, but in the dim lighting, combined with Yumo’s entrancing gaze, they beca incredibly alluring. The next mont, Yumo used her tempting feet to poke ngxi’s stomach.
"Hey~ We’re not in Winter Forest now, and the children aren’t around. You can... enjoy yourself properly~"
Before she finished speaking, several bloody butterflies floated to Yumo’s feet, helping her slowly remove the white stockings, revealing toes as light and elegant as works of art.
"Hey, you must have been holding back for a while... today... you can let loose~"
Yumo smiled seductively, extending her invitation to ngxi.
If ngxi was willing, the entire Purple Leaf Palace would probably shake with their activities.
"Yumo..."
Watching Yumo like this, observing her deliberately provocative poses, ngxi felt conflicted.
’Sister… Do you know... you’re really asking for it acting this way...’
ngxi thought to herself.
Usually, ngxi would not hesitate to teach Yumo a lesson right there, making her delirious with pleasure as a warning not to carelessly seduce others. But today, ngxi had no such plans.
"Sigh..."
After a helpless sigh and shake of her head, ngxi covered Yumo’s wandering feet and replaced the white stockings that the blood butterflies had removed. "Stop this foolishness."
"Huh?"
Seeing that ngxi hadn’t pounced on her like a hungry wolf, but was instead unprecedentedly helping her dress, Yumo tilted her head in confusion, with a trace of displeasure. The black-haired girl couldn’t help but pout, muttering dejectedly:
"Am I really that unattractive?"
"That’s not it, Wifey is very attractive."
"Then why won’t you take ?"
"Because, it’s not the right ti."
While putting the shawl back on Yumo, ngxi spoke with an all-knowing tone.
"Yumo, you’re just trying to change the subject, aren’t you? And trying to temporarily forget sothing through so exciting gas?"
"Eh?"
Hearing this, Yumo’s gaze clearly shifted, her crimson eyes glancing aside as she mumbled:
"No, no... it’s just that my body... felt aroused, that’s all..."
"Stop hiding it, your eyes tell everything," ngxi bluntly exposed her.
"Besides, if you were really aroused, your ears would be red and your body would be sweating. So just now was all an act."
"U_u..."
Seeing herself exposed, Yumo curled back up into her defensive posture, glaring at ngxi sowhat resentfully.
Seeing this, ngxi smiled bitterly and shook her head:
"What is it really? Are you that afraid of asking?"
"It’s... it’s nothing..."
"Sister, you’re still trying to hide from ? It’s obvious sothing’s wrong."
"..."
Yumo’s lips moved, but no sound ca out.
Her gaze wandered, showing hesitation and uncertainty. The girl’s body began to tremble subtly.
ngxi noticed this slight change and reached out to grip Yumo’s shoulders, providing her with steady support.
"So things feel better when you say them out loud."
ngxi’s voice was like a gentle spring breeze, trying to sweep away Yumo’s hesitation.
"Tell what’s troubling you. Perhaps I can teach you what to do? After all... Sister is so silly, thinking alone won’t lead to any good solutions."
"W-what do you an silly..."
Yumo grumbled unhappily.
Though sowhat displeased,
But It seed she couldn’t really argue against it.
Historically speaking, she did tend to do foolish things.
After hesitantly glancing at ngxi’s steady, reliable eyes a couple tis, and following a period of internal struggle, Yumo slowly spoke.
"Your mother... has asked to leave this world..."
