Near the Red Leaf Empire’s border defense line lies the village of Asam.
Due to the previous release of the fierce inferno power by Kalina, the Fla Demon King, the entire village and the surrounding forests and rivers turned into a lifeless, scorched earth. The hot air still wafted around, with the scent of burning omnipresent.
And the chief culprit of all this,
Kalina, with her arms crossed over her chest and a solemn face, paced back and forth on the earth, seemingly pondering a very serious issue.
Eventually,
Kalina could no longer suppress the strong doubts in her heart and cast her puzzled gaze towards the little honey-haired loli swinging not far away on a swing.
Of course,
Don’t ask why there is a swing on a scorched earth; it was summoned by Youlan using vines for a simple reason: to calm the restless Yuan’er.
Watching Youlan, who had turned into a child, Kalina, despite being anxious, still maintained the basic etiquette and respect for her sister:
"Big Sister, why send the Girl of Destiny? Wouldn’t it be better if I went to restore Mother’s sanity, just like last ti at the Red Moon Tower...? Weren’t you the one who specifically guided there to help suppress Mother’s power? Why not this ti as well…"
"This ti... it’s different."
Youlan answered without hesitation.
"What’s different?"
"This ti, it’s not just a simple matter of Mother losing control of her power. In the past, whenever Mother lost control, it was mostly due to the instinctual manipulation by the Shadow Power. But this ti, there’s a slight change in Mother’s aura, as if it’s been replaced by another consciousness."
Saying this, Youlan looked at Kalina with a tender gaze, indulgently:
"If it really is another consciousness, I can’t be sure of its attitude towards us. Rashly letting you soothe Mother might be dangerous. I wouldn’t want my adorable sister to encounter any danger."
"Is that so..."
Although what Youlan said, about another consciousness, seed incredibly hard to believe for Kalina, she still chose to trust her sister.
"So, Sister Youlan, you want the Girl of Destiny to... give it a try?"
"Yes. Mother also values the Girl of Destiny quite a bit. By seeing Mother’s reaction to her, we should be able to judge Mother’s current state."
"Is that the reason we are giving her our power?"
"Yes. Otherwise, without the augntation of our power and the cover of our aura, with her current strength at the early eighth level, how could she possibly approach Mother now? The difficulty would be too high. And if she can’t get close, how can we expect her to call Mother back?"
"Then Sister Youlan, how can you be sure that she... won’t turn against us after receiving our power?"
"It’s just a judgnt based on these past days."
"Okay, I understand."
Staring at her own palm and feeling the nearly depleted shadow power within her, Kalina sighed with mixed feelings.
Under Youlan’s manipulation, their power has already fully integrated into the body of the Girl of Destiny.
The thought that she would one day transfer her power to the chosen one, even temporarily, gave Kalina a sense of surrealism.
"But, that Girl of Destiny, she really did withstand our power... That’s incredible..."
With a faint smile, Youlan slowly started to explain.
"She absorbed Mother’s power. Why couldn’t she absorb ours? Our power and Mother’s are from the sa source. We simply used the shadow power in her body, which belongs to Mother, as a dium to transfer our power to her. It’s not that... not that big of a... difficulty..."
However,
As she spoke, Youlan couldn’t help but frown and looked helplessly at a little one beside her:
"Hey, you... can you keep still for a mont? I’m explaining to your sister!"
At that mont,
Yuan’er was sitting curiously beside Youlan on the swing. Yuan’er had already stopped crying, and the earlier incident with the lollipop seed to have been forgotten. Now, the little girl was staring excitedly at Youlan, as if she had discovered a new continent, her heterochromatic eyes sparkling with stars.
The pink-haired girl kept staring at Youlan’s face while expressing her amazent to herself.
"Wow, Sister Youlan has turned into a child! So cute~"
Not satisfied with just staring, Yuan’er kept poking Youlan’s face with her little hand, causing the latter’s eyebrows to twitch uncontrollably.
"Hey, can you stop poking ?" Youlan said with a hint of annoyance
However,
Due to Youlan now being in the form of a little loli, her voice was no longer as cold and authoritative as before, but rather had a cute and soft quality to it, which didn’t scare our little friend Yuan’er at all.
Faced with her sister’s warning, Yuan’er chose to ignore it and continued to happily poke and rub Youlan’s face,
"Hehe, Sister Youlan is so cute~"
"Sigh…"
Following this, with a long sigh, Youlan resignedly closed her eyes, allowing Yuan’er to hug her and affectionately nuzzle her face.
At this mont,
Youlan seed to suddenly realize a very serious problem.
Maintaining the appearance of a child indeed helped her close the distance with her mother, but it would also lead to her... becoming sothing akin to a fluffy ball for a considerable amount of ti to co.
Oh well,
The path I chose,
I had to tread it, no matter what…
…
With a bitter smile, while letting Yuan’er do as she pleased, Youlan’s eyes narrowed slightly, as she thoughtfully gazed towards the south.
ngxi,
Good luck.
Although not holding much hope, Youlan still made a rare prayer in her heart.
---
However,
It’s unknown if it was because Youlan had done too many unkind things in the past, but her prayer didn’t have any effect.
Thousands of miles away,
Just as ngxi was preparing to unleash her magic, to suppress the turmoil within Yumo using her last trump card, an utterly unexpected voice suddenly sounded right next to ngxi’s ear without any warning.
— "I am not that naive little fool. Such sches are useless against ." —
As this voice entered her ears, ngxi shivered all over.
She was incredibly familiar with this voice, yet it also made her feel very estranged.
This is Sister Yumo’s voice,
But it’s also not Sister Yumo’s voice.
However, no matter what, the ergence of this voice heralds an ominous future.
The next mont,
Under ngxi’s astonished gaze, the silhouette of the black-haired girl in front of her suddenly twisted. Then, that familiar figure instantly turned into a sky full of bloody butterflies and mysteriously disappeared in front of ngxi.
ngxi had no ti to be surprised by this, nor to ponder the situation in front of her, because the endless oppression coming from behind her left no room for such thoughts.
Hah?!!
Behind ?!
Unfortunately, realizing this now was too late.
Just as ngxi tried to turn around and release "Soul Purification" towards her back, the black-haired girl’s hand suddenly stretched out and firmly grasped ngxi’s wrist, controlling her charged hand tightly, while the black-haired girl’s other hand directly strangled ngxi’s neck! In just an instant, ngxi was firmly controlled by the black-haired girl who suddenly appeared behind her.
At this mont, although ngxi had received the power boost from three Demon King-level abyssal demons, she still found it difficult to withstand the black-haired girl.
As the black-haired girl tightened her grip, a severe pain imdiately shot up from ngxi’s wrist to her brain, causing a flash of pain to cross ngxi’s beautiful face. Under this imnse force, ngxi’s wrist was rcilessly crushed, and the power she had been charging in her hand dissipated quickly, losing its sustaining force.
For a ti, the holy light around ngxi gradually dimd, gradually being swallowed by the crimson light of the shadow power.
However,
After controlling ngxi, the black-haired girl did not kill her directly but rather brought her face close to ngxi’s ear and whispered.
"You didn’t really think that just because you are the Girl of Destiny, you could turn the tide, did you~?"
"..."
"Now that you’ve fallen into my hands, tell , how should I play with you to death, Miss Girl of Destiny?"
