Xiao’s illustration is finished, and I have posted it in Chapter 00. Kalina and Youlan’s illustration will co after him soon.
The scene shifted back to where Xue Tianao was buried, amidst the ruins.
two shadows were tightly attached together~
One was extrely nervous, while the other remained calm and composed throughout.
"Oh no, I should call you Sister Yumo~"
Completely disregarding the intense and eerie aura surrounding Yumo, ngxi fearlessly raised her hands and wrapped them around Yumo’s neck, affectionately whispering in her ear.
In that instant, Yumo felt like she had been engulfed in a cosmic explosion, leaving her mind in disarray.
She stood frozen in place, her crimson eyes trembling, and her beautiful face expressing an unprecedented mix of shock and confusion.
It seed as if Yumo’s mind couldn’t process the words spoken by ngxi.
It took a mont for Yumo to recover from her stunned state. She glanced hesitantly at the silver-haired girl who had just uttered such astonishing words.
"Um..."
Yumo still couldn’t believe what she had heard monts ago. Trying to maintain her composure, she forced a smile that appeared rather forced.
"Um... ngxi, did you just say..."
Before Yumo could finish her sentence, ngxi slowly released her hold on Yumo’s neck. Her lovely lilac eyes t Yumo’s astonished crimson gaze, and she spoke each word deliberately:
"I said... Sister Yumo ~"
When ngxi pronounced the tow words "Sister Yumo," she even emphasized the pronunciation, ensuring that Yumo could clearly hear her.
This confirmation shattered Yumo’s illusions completely, far beyond her imagination.
And then, as expected, Yumo’s expression froze, her mind fractured. In that mont, a hurricane of emotions raged within the black-haired girl, shaking her inner world on an unprecedented scale.
’She... she, she, she... recognized... she recognized ?!! How... how is this possible?!! This can’t be happening! Ahhhhhhhhhhh! I acted so convincingly before, how did she see through it? was there a flaw in my performance? No, that can’t be! Sebastian himself acknowledged my acting skills as ’excellent’! How could ngxi see through it?...’
’Moreover…!’
’Her mories were clearly overwritten by Shuoyue back then! How could she, a Tier 6, resist the power of Shuoyue? My daughter isn’t soone to be taken lightly!’
...
In an instant, while Miss Yumo maintained a seemingly "calm" appearance, she stood frozen in place, her mind engulfed in a tumultuous storm, unleashing a mad roar within her.
After the initial shock, an indescribable sense of embarrassnt surged through Yumo’s heart, transforming her face into a ripe red tomato.
Regaining so strength, Yumo broke free from ngxi’s grasp, taking a few steps back, unable to hold back her scolding:
"You... You... How did you... When did you find out?!!"
Mischievously, ngxi extended her slender finger and pressed it against her rosy lips.
After thinking for a mont, the girl with silver hair tilted her head and said in a playful tone:
"Well... I actually knew from the very beginning~"
"Wait... What?!! From the beginning?! How is that possible..."
Yumo’s crimson eyes filled with disbelief. Seeing this, ngxi not only showed no intention of reining in, but further added fuel to the fire:
"And not only that, I am aware that Sister Yu and Xiaomo are both Sister Yumo~"
’?!!!’
Upon hearing this, Yumo’s eyes contracted as if pierced by a sword infused with countless units of embarrassnt. A rush of heat broke through her defenses and surged up to her ears.
’?! She also knows this?!’
’In other words, ... When I was looking after that brat in the winter forest, she was actually faking it?! She didn’t lose her mory at all?!
’Did I got fooled?!!’
The thought of being fooled by the child-like ngxi left Yumo breathless.
And to make matters worse, she realized that ngxi was aware of her pretending to be [Xiaomo].
’How did she discover it? Well, it doesn’t matter how she found out! What’s important is that after she found out, she didn’t say anything and silently watched act?!’
’Ahhhhhhhhhhh!’
Recalling that ti when she acted like a cute little girl, saying " Sister ngxi " and asking for hugs, the sense of social death settled upon her heart.
"No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no!!"
As the feeling of embarrassnt continued to rise, Yumo’s heart finally reached its breaking point...
In the next mont, the black-haired girl’s brain completely crashed, accompanied by a *pop* sound, and bursts of steam began to slowly rise from her head.
Intense embarrassnt and an inexplicable sense of frustration caused Yumo’s eyes to redden, leaving her with a feeling of wanting to cry but having no tears...
’*Sob*! What is going on? Am I dreaming? This must be a dream...’
Reality stood before her, but the girl didn’t want to accept it.

ngxi couldn’t help but feel her heart skip a beat as she looked at the girl in front of her. Yumo pursed her lips, her face turning red with steam rising from her head. At that mont, Yumo’s shy appearance was just too adorable for ngxi.
"Aww! Sister Yumo, you’re so cute~"
ngxi’s lips curved into a teasing smile.
If she didn’t take into account Yumo’s current emotional state, ngxi would have wanted to rush up and give her a tight hug.
Initially, ngxi had no intention of confessing to Yumo after figuring out that she had knocked out Bai Yanluo. She planned to let Yumo continue with her "disguise" for a while.
However, Xu Tianao’s sudden arrival shattered ngxi’s plan. He appeared with a powerful aura, accompanied by Yumo’s unexpected release of power. It all exceeded ngxi’s expectations.
Yumo effortlessly defeated Xu Tianao with a single blow, leaving ngxi stunned. Before she could react, Xu Tianao vanished into thin air, and there she was, dumbfounded, locking eyes with the panicked Yumo.
’Should I pretend to faint?’
ngxi briefly considered. But no matter how convincing her acting skills were or how innocent and adorable Yumo was, fainting right in front of her seed too unbelievable.
[Ah~ I fainted~] ngxi imagined the scene for a mont and quickly dismissed the idea.
’No, it would be too fake...’
While ngxi pondered how to handle the situation, the silver-haired girl raised an eyebrow.
In that instant, ngxi realized that perhaps she didn’t need to pretend anymore. The main reason she had been playing along with Yumo’s pretend ga was to maintain her "disguise" and make Yumo grow fonder of her, preventing her from leaving to be with Xu Tianao, that foolish chosen one.
But now? That foolish chosen one who had aroused Yumo’s interest with his godlike power was gone.
’Wasn’t I the only chosen one left in the world? If Yumo wanted to destroy the Demon Temple, she would have to support , right? Though I dislike the idea, if I scare Yumo a bit more with the Black Rose Family matter... then Yumo would have no choice but to stay with , hehehe~’
Did it still make sense to keep pretending? After all, ngxi preferred Yumo’s original appearance and personality over the "Xiaomo" loli disguise.
She cherished her gentle big sister who had always taken care of her in the winter forest.
With a sweet smile filled with sincere apologies, ngxi approached Yumo, raised her hand, and gently tapped Yumo’s face, trying to bring her back from the shock.
"I’m sorry, Sister Yumo. I didn’t an to deceive "
