1/6
Has Lady Yumo actually noticed the Church Nation’s plan?
Xiao blinked in surprise.
Strictly speaking, Tania’s plan was executed with extre caution and secrecy, coupled with extraordinary disguise abilities obtained from the Demon Goddess, making it no easy task to see through her plan. Even the Nightingale organization couldn’t find any useful intelligence after a long investigation. If not for Asar, the bait Xiao deliberately cultivated, the Black Rose family would have struggled to understand Tania’s general plan.
"Lady Yumo knows too. I must say it’s quite surprising," Xiao remarked sincerely.
In his main plan and most backup plans, Yumo only needed to remain in the dark, then easily defeat the Demon Goddess at the end, becoming the continent’s savior. Considering Tania’s plan’s secrecy and the Church Nation’s friendliness and respect towards Yumo, Xiao didn’t think Yumo would notice anything amiss.
Even after receiving Asar’s intelligence, Xiao doubted if that stinky girl was just mocking him.
"How did Lady Yumo notice, when no one who truly knows Tania’s plan has had contact with her? She even went to monitor Tania and Asar’s conversation?" Xiao muttered, puzzled.
However,
In the next mont, Xiao’s eyes suddenly narrowed. After brief contemplation, he had a rough answer in mind.
"The Girl of Destiny? Did she tell Lady Yumo? Wasn’t she controlled by the Demon Goddess’s will? Could it be... the Demon Goddess couldn’t completely dominate her? Allowing her to retain so self-awareness?"
"It should be so," Youlan agreed softly:
"The attackers from Fata’s side earlier had problematic intelligence from headquarters. They didn’t know my true identity, blindly approached , and were ultimately killed by . Incidentally, it allowed to learn of the Church Nation’s plan to attack Yuan’er. Such an important mission shouldn’t have such a low-level oversight. That Girl of Destiny must have deliberately left so loopholes when issuing orders or providing action intelligence as the Church Emperor. Although I don’t know how she managed to hide it from the Demon Goddess’s will.."
"So the Girl of Destiny isn’t completely controlled by the Demon Goddess? That’s good news"
Xiao couldn’t help but sigh in relief, his lips curling slightly upward.
Although he had always appeared calm, facing an unprecedented powerful enemy like the Demon Goddess naturally put considerable pressure on Xiao’s mind. Fortunately, reaching this conclusion allowed Xiao to relax a bit.
However,
Before he could relax for long, Xiao’s brows furrowed again.
A serious question confronted him.
"Wait? Strange, if Lady Yumo knows Tania’s intentions and the Demon Goddess’s existence, what does she plan to do now?!"
Undoubtedly, If Yumo acts recklessly, Xiao’s original plan would need major revisions. Although Xiao had anticipated Yumo might discover the truth, he hadn’t expected her to realize so early, so his contingency plans lacked a suitable scenario for the current situation.
"Did Asar’s report say anything?" Youlan inquired.
To this, Xiao slowly shook his head:
"No, it only ntioned Lady Yumo talking to herself like an idiot, then inexplicably laughing triumphantly. Lady Yumo probably has her own ideas. However, given her personality, it’s surprising she didn’t directly confront Tania. That’s unexpected"
It’s worth noting that in the past, upon learning soone wanted to sche against or harm her children, Yumo would typically give them a one-way ticket to the afterlife without hesitation.
On the other side,
Looking at the text Asar sent back, Youlan thoughtfully placed her hand on her chin. After deep contemplation, Youlan smiled with so understanding:
"Mother has indeed beco calr. The reason she’s not taking action, letting Asar maintain the status quo, must be to draw out the Demon Goddess and eliminate the will it left on ngxi. Additionally, while luring out the Demon Goddess, she probably wants to show off a bit"
"Show off?"
"Yes"
Youlan nodded with a bitter smile, sowhat helplessly:
"Knowing others are plotting against her but not getting angry and instead laughing wildly. There’s a 90% chance Mother wants to use this opportunity to reshape her ’dignified’ image"
"Reshape her image?"
"Isn’t Mother always hung up on her identity as a parent? After being fooled by you all for so long, being treated as a naive fool Mother, she must be unwilling to accept that"
Youlan waved her hand, saying quite helplessly:
"Mother probably wants to let the Church Nation’s people teach us a lesson first, then make a cool entrance at the critical mont, sweeping away the enemy in one go, making us grateful and moved. Finally, she’ll lure out the Demon Goddess, perfectly resolve this incident, and restore her glorious image. Although I don’t understand exactly how Mother plans to do it, the general arrangent must be like this"
"Are you, are you sure?"
"What else could it be? That’s Mother we are talking about. What else do you think she could co up with?"
"Umm... I suppose you’re right"
Thinking carefully, Xiao found he couldn’t argue.
The next mont, as if to verify Youlan’s words, accompanied by a surge of magical power, a miniature projection of a city suddenly appeared on the desk in front of Xiao.
It was the capital of Holy Lomari, Wisteria, which was currently engulfed in fierce battle.
Xiao raised a finger, and the detection began.
Over the six years, in search of the missing Yumo, the Black Rose family had developed quite a few pieces of black technology.
The Shadow Power detection network covering the entire city was one of them.
As the detection concluded, a dense purple light quickly appeared in the center of the Wisteria city projection.
Obviously, these powers belonged to Pierre. Of course, this wasn’t what Xiao cared about. His gaze quickly locked onto a high tower near the palace.
There, a faint crimson light was gently rippling.
This intensity and wavelength?
"It’s Lady Yumo’s Bloody Butterfly?! Looks like she’s really watching the show.."
Realizing this, Xiao rubbed his forehead with a rather complex mood.
Then, with a bitter smile, Xiao looked at Youlan’s eyes with admiration.
"As expected of Lady Youlan, to understand Lady Yumo so well"
"It’s nothing. After all, it’s our simple minded Mother. What bad intentions could she have?"
"Indeed"
Glancing at the flashing red light on the projection, Xiao also revealed a smile that was both doting and helpless.
"The constantly fluctuating Shadow Power, hehe. It seems Lady Yumo is quite excited after seeing Lord Pierre getting beaten up. She looks completely eager to join in, doesn’t she?"
"She’s probably considering the timing of her entrance right now. I bet she’s enthusiastically imagining and simulating her entrance pose and show-off lines in her mind"
"As expected of Lady Yumo, always so adorable~. Since Lady Yumo wants to show off, let’s go along with her wishes. Let’s proceed with Plan Y, that contingency is more suitable for the current situation"
Saying this, Xiao reached out to search for his plan book from the pile of docunts.
However, The next mont, Youlan’s words directly interrupted Xiao’s action.
"No need to change, just proceed with the original plan"
"Huh? But isn’t Lady Yumo...?" Xiao showed a puzzled expression.
"Yes, Mother wants to show off. But... why should I let her?"
"Huh?"
"What ’huh’?"
Saying this, Under the confused gazes of Xiao and Wanya, Youlan, contrary to her usual deanor, revealed an expression like a willful child, tilted her head, pouted, and intense resentnt suddenly appeared in her azure eyes.
"Mother actually went to play by herself, and didn’t even take along?! What’s the point of becoming a child then? I originally thought I could make up for the regrets of the past few hundred years by cuddling with Mommy, but in the end, I was left here for six years?! That is too much... this is too much (»_©)! ...Indeed, an ungrateful Mother still needs so discipline"
While complaining to herself, layers of black mist gradually emanated from the little loli’s body.
All of a sudden, the temperature in the office plumted, and Xiao and Wanya beside her couldn’t help but feel a chill down their spines.
But faced with this true big sister of the Abyssal family, Xiao, for once, didn’t dare to say a word.
After a bout of self-talking and venting, Youlan revealed a strange smile and looked at Xiao quite seriously.
"Xiao"
"Yes!"
"Tell the Black Rose troops in Wisteria to imdiately teleport and evacuate nearby residents. Tell that brat Pierre... don’t worry about Aya’s safety, fight with full power!"
