Yumo was very busy in the morning.
After eting the Marchioness Aurora and Marquis Xiumu,
Upon hearing that the heroine had started to have breakfast, Yumo hurriedly scurried over to one of the temporary rooms. Recently, ngxi’s injuries had been even more severe than when she was in the Galrose Fortress, but after receiving Yumo’s magic replenishnt, she didn’t fall into a long coma like before but woke up quickly.
Under normal circumstances,
The awakened ngxi would definitely want Yumo as her pillow,
But the doctor said that ngxi needed intensive care now and forbade her from using Yumo as a pillow. Although ngxi was unhappy, she eventually couldn’t defy the doctor, so she compromised and looked at Yumo with slightly resentful eyes.
Temporarily relieved from her ’pillow’ duties, Yumo enjoyed a few peaceful nights recently. After all, staying in ngxi’s embrace after that spring dream would always give her a strange feeling...
However,
After Yumo had slept peacefully under her maid Dora’s care a few tis, her heart inexplicably felt loss.
’I’m not used to this...’
It was such a strange feeling...
Yumo couldn’t help but complain inwardly.
Then, Yumo ran at a child’s speed toward ngxi’s location. According to ngxi, the girl was sowhat shy. After waking up every day and being surrounded by strangers, plus her current lack of strength, she felt very uncomfortable and hoped that soone familiar would keep her company...
So Yumo promised to visit her in the morning.
Although, honestly, Yumo felt that ngxi wouldn’t be uneasy because of this trivial matter...
Of course, while visiting, Yumo could also observe ngxi’s physical condition. Earlier, to suppress the backlash of divine power, Yumo had replenished ngxi’s magic once. However, because ngxi’s finger-sucking action was too adorable, Yumo accidentally forgot to pull her finger out, causing ngxi to absorb too much Shadow Power, far beyond the range needed to recover her spiritual power...
This had made Yumo quite worried lately, unsure whether such a large amount would have any adverse effects on ngxi. After all, in the past, an existence at the sa sixth rank, if exposed to so much Shadow Power, would have turned into an Abyssal Demon...
...
Pushing open ngxi’s door, Yumo carefully poked her head out and looked at the silver-haired girl sitting quietly on the bed, eating porridge.
At this mont ngxi, Wearing a white patient gown, her beautiful silver hair elegantly coiled at the back of her head, was still so beautiful and radiant. However, the paleness and weakness on her face added a touch of desolate beauty to her appearance.
Feigning a cute loli voice, Yumo slowly spoke:
" sister ngxi, , can I co in?"
Seeing the little girl at the door, the coldness on ngxi’s face instantly vanished, replaced by a sweet smile that could warm one’s heart.
"Co! Little Mo, co here quickly!"
"Alright!"
After responding with a crisp voice, Yumo trotted over to ngxi’s bedside with her short little legs.
"Sister ngxi, how did you sleep last night?"
However,
Before ngxi could respond, she skillfully grabbed Yumo’s hand, pulling her onto the bed and into her embrace. ngxi’s chin rested on the pink-haired girl’s head, and her ample chest cushioned Yumo’s neck, causing Yumo’s face to blush slightly.
"Indeed, waking up in the morning is only comfortable when I’m holding you, Xiaomo."
"Sister..."
Yumo pouted slightly, sowhat speechless.
Yumo had long grown accustod to ngxi liking to hold her.
After all, the little girl she played was so soft and cute.
But,
It seed like ngxi had grown even more affectionate after the recent battle. Before, she would just hold Yumo, but now she frequently gave Yumo’s face a little kiss.
’I don’t think I’ve increased her favorability toward recently?’
Yumo frowned adorably.
The maids and nurses nearby seed to be used to the sight, and they even conscientiously tidied up and left the room. However, watching the people leaving one after another, Yumo’s expression turned a bit displeased.
Then, Yumo slowly asked:
"Sister ngxi, those people from the Asumos Church haven’t returned yet?"
Hearing this,
ngxi let out a helpless smile.
"They haven’t returned, and we can’t even contact them."
There was bit of confusion in the silver-haired girl’s voice. Although those people were clearly sent by the bishop to monitor and restrict her movents, they were her companions in na and important combatants within the church. The fact that they mysteriously lost contact made ngxi puzzled.
Before, she suspected that they might have died during the battle with Divine Punishnt Sect
But after tallying the casualties in the past few days, they found that
They didn’t find Cabane and their bodies. At the sa ti, the residents of the City of Wind confird that there was no mber of the Asumos Church involved in the battles throughout the city.
"Who knows where they went..."
"Is that so?"
Yumo murmured quietly,
A trace of displeasure flashed through her deep blue eyes.
It seed like,
Our female lead’s teammates, well, not very reliable...
Originally, when the Divine Punishnt Sect attacked, Yumo had hoped that the two Apostle could help share so of the pressure. If they had been able to help ngxi earlier, perhaps they could have defeated Wilt before Yuan’er arrived. In that case, they might have completed an epic quest, right?
But what happened?
These so-called heroes just vanished without a trace?
In the end, Yumo had to take matters into her own hands.
’Really, they’re so unreliable!’
Also, weren’t these guys originally staying in the City of Wind just fine? Why did they suddenly abandon the girl of destiny and play the disappearing act? Strange?
The more Yumo thought about it, the more puzzled she beca.
At the sa ti, Yumo, who understood the importance of teammates, raised her hand to her chin, falling into a brief contemplation. She wondered if she should ask the Black Rose family to send so reliable people to join the female lead as new teammates...
However, just as Yumo was contemplating,
ngxi’s gentle voice rang out once more.
"Never mind, Xiaomo, let those people die wherever they want, we won’t bother with them anymore. I’m actually more relaxed without them around~"
Saying that ngxi raised her hand and gently pinched Yumo’s soft, delicate face.
"Alright, let’s not talk about them."
"Oh, by the way, Xiaomo."
"Hmm? What’s up, sister?"
"I heard from the maids that you specially cooked for the Marchioness?"
"Ah? Oh, yes, I did."
Yumo nodded slightly, her eyebrows raising unconsciously.
Why did ngxi suddenly bring this up?
Indeed, she had made a nutritious porridge for Aurora. The reason she suddenly made it was to secretly add so ’Tears of Nature’ to help the Marchioness recover faster. How did this trivial matter reach ngxi’s ears?
Seemingly sensing Yumo’s confusion, ngxi laughed lightly and said,
"Wow, as I thought. No wonder those maids have been praising Xiaomo for being so thoughtful."
"Oh, is that so?"
"Are you good at cooking, Xiaomo?"
"I can cook a bit, I guess."
"Then, can you make sothing for as well? I’m tired of eating the sa plain porridge recently."
ngxi pouted, complaining. Then, she looked at the pink-haired girl in her embrace with hopeful eyes.
"Sister wants to eat at. Can Xiaomo help make so? I also want to taste Xiaomo’s cooking~"
"Um..."
Faced with ngxi’s expectant gaze, Yumo couldn’t bear to refuse.
After all, cooking wasn’t a difficult task.
"So, what kind of dishes does sister want? If I know how to make it, I’ll try my best."
"Enmmm,"
ngxi gazed at the ceiling, wearing a thoughtful expression.
"Then, let’s have jade fierce fish cakes, Shaberton chicken, and oh, if there’s roasted cal dragon at, that would be even better!"
"Oh, that’s not too difficult. They’re quite easy to make. I’ll go prepare the ingredients, and we can have them by noon..."
After briefly considering the cooking thods, Yumo replied honestly.
However,
Soon, Yumo’s heart couldn’t help but tremble.
’Wait a minute?’
’These dishes, it like, all ones I made at my house? What a coincidence?!’
And,
In an instant,
Yumo’s words stopped abruptly. At this mont, she realized a very serious problem.
But before Yumo could speak,
ngxi playfully leaned in close to Yumo’s ear.
"Preparing the ingredients, huh? Jade fierce fish cakes and Shaberton chicken shouldn’t be a problem, as they’re made from common ingredients. But, cal dragon? In the North, that’s a magical beast only found in the Winter Forest, and it’s not sold in the City of Wind. Xiaomo, where do you plan to get it?"
"Ah, well, um..."
Shoot!
I forgot that I’m just a little girl now! These ingredients aren’t sothing a little girl can get!
I need to think of a response quickly!
Oh, right.
In a mont of inspiration, Yumo suddenly thought of a good excuse: "Well, about the cal dragon, I, I heard from the Black Rose family mbers that they have that kind of ingredient. I was planning to buy so from them."
"Oh~~, is that so~~"
ngxi laughed playfully.
"The Black Rose family, huh? I’ve heard they’re quite exclusive. It’s rare for them to tell you what ingredients they have. It seems that you, Xiaomo, have a pretty good relationship with them?"
"Well, it’s alright, I guess..."
Yumo felt a wave of embarrassnt and awkwardly scratched her head.
"After all, they saved before, and I lived with them for a while, hehe..."
"I see~"
