Vol 2. Chapter 20: Mother-Daughter Interaction
“Mother?!”
“Mother? Why are you here?!”
Seeing Yumo's arrival, Liyu asked curiously, temporarily stopping her task of applying medicine to her sister.
As for that,
Limo didn't mind.
Because after seeing Yumo arrive, the wolf girl immediately blushed and hurriedly jumped up from the floor.
Though she was usually somewhat silly, Limo knew that her current posture was really not very elegant...
Thus,
The wolf girl hurriedly stood up and pulled down her skirt to cover her little butt, which was covered in bruises.
“M-Mother...”
Apparently still remembering last night's lesson, there was a trace of fear in Limo's voice.
Looking at the timid little white wolf before her, who was currently in a rather breezy state beneath her skirt, Yumo couldn't help but sigh.
Perhaps...
She had really gone a bit too far last night...
Thinking that, Yumo revealed a hint of guilt and gently stroked Limo's little head and those fluffy adorable ears.
“Does it still hurt?”
“It hurts...”
The wolf cub drooped her ears pitifully.
Actually, the wolf cub was quite tall—even taller than Yumo. Stroking a daughter who was taller than herself always gave Yumo a rather subtle feeling.
“Sigh...”
After letting out a soft sigh, crimson light slowly overflowed from Yumo's body and flowed toward the spatial ring on her finger.
“Forget it. I won't make up the remaining thirty strikes from yesterday.”
As she spoke, an exquisite glass bottle emerged from the spatial ring.
Without question, it was the Elven race's sacred healing medicine, Tears of Nature.
Yumo tossed the bottle into Liyu's hands.
“Apply it to your sister later.”
After obediently accepting the medicine, Liyu nodded.
“Mhm, understood, Mother.”
“Mya?!”
Upon hearing Yumo's words, Limo's drooping wolf ears suddenly perked up.
She looked at Yumo excitedly and with great joy.
“Really?! You won't make up those hits anymore?!”
“No.”
Besides, they were just meant to scare you in the first place.
Yumo chuckled inwardly.
After receiving Mother's confirmation, the pain in Limo's butt instantly vanished! The wolf cub, who had been listless just moments ago, immediately revived at full health and began dancing excitedly.
“Yay!! No more spanking!!”
Seeing that scene,
Liyu behind her couldn't help but hold her forehead in exasperation.
Sister...
You're exposing yourself...
Sigh, luckily there isn't anyone else here...
Naturally, the overjoyed Limo didn't notice such details.
Unfortunately,
Little Limo's happiness didn't last long.
Because the next moment,
Miss Yumo's leisurely voice entered her ears, causing her body to tremble violently.
“Though I won't hit your butt anymore, your mental education still has to continue~”
?!!
Mya?!
Hearing that, Limo's expression changed drastically. The joy on her face disappeared instantly, and her little butt seemed to start aching again.
The wolf girl immediately put on a tearful expression and looked at Yumo pitifully with the eyes of an abandoned puppy.
“Mother, nooo!”
“No~”
Miss Yumo mercilessly refused.
Hearing her mother's unquestionable answer, Limo knew acting cute was useless. She immediately lowered her head and gloomily stared at the floor.
Even Liyu beside her couldn't help sighing.
Silly Sister.
If you'd kept acting pitiful just now, Mother might've softened and even canceled the mental education~
'Sigh, still too inexperienced.'
Liyu silently complained inwardly.
After throwing a sympathetic glance at her foolish sister, she looked toward the black-haired girl currently interacting with the three seventh-tier Abyss Demons.
“Mother, why did you suddenly come over?”
“Mm, well~”
While petting the head of the Abyss Demon Ghost Bone Dragon, Yumo smiled and playfully tilted her head.
“Wouldn't it be normal for me to come see a certain little one who woke up?”
As she spoke,
Yumo smiled and turned to look toward the cave ceiling.
“Isn't that right, little Shuoyue~?”
As Yumo's words fell,
The previously empty ceiling suddenly distorted strangely!
Accompanied by blue-gold Shadow of Silence Power, ripples resembling water spread across the stone wall.
The next moment,
Under Yumo's expression of 'As expected,'
A beautiful and adorable blue-haired girl wearing a light-blue dress suddenly appeared upside down on the ceiling.
“Mommy!”
The blue-haired girl, Shuoyue, immediately cast aside her usual sleepy demeanor.
Surrounded by countless dewdrops, she leapt down excitedly and hung herself around Yumo's neck, rubbing her face affectionately against Yumo's chest.
“Hehe, Mommy's human form is so comfortable to rub against.”
“Oh? As long as you like it.”
Yumo smiled and patted the little girl's adorable head.
“Hehe, no matter what Mommy becomes, Shuoyue likes her. Wuu, but Mommy found me out. What a pity, I originally wanted to sneak up from behind and hug Mommy! To give Mommy a surprise, you know~”
There was a trace of regret in Shuoyue's voice.
Seeing this,
Yumo smiled helplessly and shook her head.
“You little girl, trying to ambush me? You're underestimating me too much~”
She joked while gently flicking Shuoyue's cute nose.
“Speaking of which, why did you wake up all of a sudden?”
Looking into Shuoyue's pale golden eyes and at the beautiful golden rose over her right eye, Yumo asked curiously.
Unlike Limo and Liyu,
Shuoyue's true nature was somewhat special.
She wasn't a magical beast or spirit beast, but a spiritual lifeform.
Fenghua Shuoyue's original form was a rare spiritual being called a Dream Fairy, said to be a descendant of the God of Dreams.
After being born from a Golden Rose, Dream Fairies would attach themselves to other living beings, feeding on dreams to sustain themselves and accumulating power to materialize.
However, they never harmed their hosts.
Instead, they gradually strengthened their souls.
Because of that, Dream Fairies had become incredibly sought after across Anqieka Continent. Countless people seeking to cultivate soul power tried to capture them. As a result, the Golden Roses capable of producing Dream Fairies were extensively destroyed.
It was said that over sixty years ago, no Golden Roses remained on Anqieka Continent.
Before becoming a Demon King-class Abyss Demon, Shuoyue had no physical form like most young Dream Fairies. She had been sealed inside the body of an Asumos Church Hero to help him train his soul power.
When that Hero was bitten to death by Limo, the dying Shuoyue appeared before Yumo...
Driven by curiosity, Yumo had granted a small portion of her Origin Power to the dying Dream Fairy.
Thus, the current Demon King-class Abyss Demon, Nightmare, was born.
However, because Shuoyue often went to 'play' in human society over the years, she had somehow acquired rather embarrassing titles such as 'Dream Ruler' and 'Dream God.'
Still,
She was undoubtedly a very obedient good child.
Moreover,
Because she retained the Dream Fairy race's tendency to sleep, Shuoyue had spent most of her existence asleep. Usually, she wouldn't wake up without sleeping for several decades.
Yet this time,
She had only slept for six or seven years.
Yumo had originally expected her to sleep another ten years or so.
Why had she woken up so early?
Thinking this, Miss Yumo revealed a puzzled expression.
As for Shuoyue,
She merely smiled sweetly.
Her body slowly floated into the air as she continued rubbing her face affectionately against Yumo's cheek.
“Wuu, waking up early was naturally to see Mommy! Mommy turned into a human and didn't even tell me! Shuoyue would've been upset~”
“Sorry, sorry. I just didn't want to disturb your rest. Don't be angry.”
“Wuuu, alright then. I accept Mommy's apology.”
Shuoyue nodded happily.
Seeing that, satisfaction filled Yumo's crimson eyes.
“Since you're awake, Shuoyue, you can help me solve a rather troublesome problem. Enmm, honestly, if you hadn't woken up soon, I was planning to go find you myself.”
“Hm?”
Shuoyue tilted her head curiously and looked at her mother.
“Does Mommy need something? Can Shuoyue help?”
“You can~”
Yumo smiled softly.
Then, the black-haired girl thoughtfully looked toward the white-haired woman chained to the stone wall in the distance.
“Help me make a few adjustments inside her head~”
