"Do you know where Mother went? Or is Mother here with you?"
Contrary to her usual deanor, Kalina asked ngxi in a sowhat timid manner.
Apparently, Yumo’s sudden departure had dealt a heavy blow to her. No... strictly speaking, not only Kalina, but all the Demon Kings in the Winter Forest and the mbers of the Black Rose family had suffered a devastating blow like a teor hitting the earth.
You should know that in the past, when Yumo was angry, she would just spank them, and after a while, everything would return to normal. But this ti, Yumo uncharacteristically did not spank Kalina and the others, and even directly left a letter and ran away from ho. In the letter, Yumo emphasized the word "disappointed".
This made them feel uneasy, fearing that Yumo was so disappointed that she no longer wanted these disobedient children and thus chose to run away from ho.
Originally, they thought that Yumo was only pretending to leave for a while and was actually hiding in the dark to observe. Upon seeing the children’s anxious state, she would be unable to bear it and choose to return.
However, a week had passed, and Yumo still did not show up. This made the children’s uneasiness skyrocket.
In the children’s hearts, Yumo’s existence had always been of utmost importance; She was an indispensable part of their lives. If they lost Yumo or were directly abandoned by her, the children could be said to have directly lost the aning of life. This could be said to be the thing they feared the most.
Although reason told them that Yumo would not be so heartless, her disappearance for a week made the children unable to calm their hearts.
Not to ntion, their mommy’s condition had been very unstable recently. What if she encountered outsiders?
Moreover, their mommy was so simple-minded. If she ran away from ho alone without anyone accompanying her, what if she was deceived by soone?
The more Kalina thought about it, the more uneasy she felt, and she could be said to be in a state of constant anxiety.
In the end, the helpless Kalina had no choice but to co and seek out ngxi, to visit this chosen one whom she least wanted to contact.
...
After arriving at this temporary base of the Asumos Church, a glimr of hope even ignited in Kalina’s heart.
Although she was unwilling to admit it, this chosen one seed to have an extraordinary connection with her mother, a connection that even made Youlan gnash her teeth. If Mother and ngxi were so close, would she co to find ngxi after running away from ho? After all, apart from us and the Girl of Destiny, Mother had no other acquaintances on the continent.
With this thought in mind, a trace of hope surged in Kalina’s eyes as she looked at ngxi.
Unfortunately, this glimr of hope was quickly extinguished by ngxi’s answer.
"I’m sorry, Sister Yumo did not co to find . I don’t have any news about her at the mont either."
Shaking her head helplessly, ngxi showed a slightly bitter smile.
"She’s not... not here..."
Upon receiving this answer, Kalina was stunned at first. After observing ngxi for a while and confirming that she was not lying, the expectation in Kalina’s eyes instantly vanished, and she visibly beca dejected, leaning against a nearby lamppost in a daze.
With the last hope shattered, one could imagine the degree of disappointnt in Kalina’s heart.
As for Yuan’er, upon learning this news, she also dejectedly buried her head in ngxi’s bosom.
The two fell into a brief silence.
However, as the woman who truly managed the Winter Forest, Kalina still managed to pull herself together with her willpower.
No matter what, she was also the fierce and illustrious Inferno.
Except when facing her mother, Kalina was unwilling to show her weakness to anyone, especially to the chosen one who was once her mortal enemy.
Of course, we must also exclude the special situation of facing a feather duster...
Taking a deep breath, Kalina, who had barely restored her emotionless expression, showed a grateful smile to ngxi:
"Thank you for the information, Miss Girl of Destiny. Since you don’t know where Mother is either, I won’t disturb your rest and recuperation."
With that, scorching red flas once again erged from the soles of Kalina’s feet. At the sa ti, Kalina cast an urging gaze at Yuan’er in ngxi’s arms.
Seeing how close Yuan’er and ngxi were, Kalina couldn’t help but frown.
You should know that before sending Yuan’er and her Mother to Anvika, she had repeatedly told Yuan’er to keep her distance from the chosen one. She didn’t expect this girl to be so close to the Girl of Destiny, curling up in her arms without any guard.
Tsk...
Casting a complicated gaze at ngxi, Kalina bit her lip sowhat depressedly.
She really didn’t understand how this woman did it.
Not only Mother, but even little Yuan’er liked her so much?
Even though she was a damn chosen one...
After sighing in her heart several tis, Kalina shook her head helplessly:
"Yuan’er, it’s ti to go."
"Hmm?"
Hearing this, Yuan’er reluctantly raised her head from ngxi’s embrace. After looking at Kalina and the silver-haired girl in front of her, the pink-haired girl finally hesitantly left ngxi’s arms and quickly stepped forward to hold Kalina’s hand.
Although she really wanted to pour out her grievances to ngxi, at this stage, Yuan’er’s biggest goal was still to search for her Mommy’s whereabouts together with her sisters.
"So where are we going to look now, sis?"
"Let’s go to Holy Lomari and take a look. There aren’t many of our forces there, so Mother might have gone there."
"Holy Lomari? Didn’t Brother Pierre already go there to look?"
"It would be a miracle if he could be reliable."
"Emm, that is true..."
...
After a brief conversation, Kalina held Yuan’er in her arms, ready to set off and fly to Holy Lomari.
Just then, ngxi slowly spoke up and stopped Kalina:
"Miss Inferno."
"Hmm?"
"Sister Yumo couldn’t possibly truly abandon you, even if you might have told her so lies. Sister is very simple-minded and will forget things that make her angry after a while. She left probably because she didn’t want to hurt you. After all... you also know about her recent condition."
"..."
Kalina’s eyes flashed with as if being moved by ngxi’s words. After a brief silence, Kalina slightly nodded:
"I understand. Thank you for your consolation, Miss Girl of Destiny."
With that, Kalina turned her head, ready to leave.
Just as she turned around, a voice filled with apology and guilt slowly entered ngxi’s ears:
"Miss ngxi, if Mother cos to find you, please tell her that we are very sorry and hope she won’t be angry. If... she can forgive us, no matter how many tis we get spanked, we’ll accept it... As long as Mother can co back. As long as she cos back, that’s enough for us."
As the last words fell, without waiting for ngxi’s reply, Kalina, holding Yuan’er, leaped up in the embrace of raging flas, turning into a crimson shooting star and rapidly disappearing into the sky...
As for ngxi herself, she stood there and fell into a mont of silence.
