Abyssal Chronicles-Chapter 1025: Strange Rift

In a forest covered with crystalline snow, an elegant villa stood quietly, each window emitting warm light that brought a touch of warmth to the cold winter.

Inside the villa, by the cozy fireplace, a heavenly beautiful black-haired girl sat somewhat helplessly in a chair.

This was our lovely Yumo.

Behind her stood another extraordinary beautiful silver-haired girl.

After temporarily handling the mess left by the Asumos Church, Mengxi, the Church Nation’s leader, had unceremoniously dumped all administrative issues to Xiao and Kalina. Normally, as the Girl of Destiny, handing control to the ’enemy’ Abyssal Demon forces would be a massive betrayal. But everything had long settled, and considering Kalina and Xiao were mindful of Yumo’s feelings, they wouldn’t act recklessly.

Therefore, Mengxi became a carefree boss without burden.

This not only minimized Xiao and Kalina’s suspicions of her but also kept them too busy to compete with her for Yumo.

What a brilliant two-birds-one-stone strategy~

Thinking of this, Mengxi unconsciously showed a smug adorable expression.

Moreover, Yumo’s children right now were either busy working in various places or playing with little Youlan in the garden, so now~

No one to bother me~

Can properly cuddle with wifey~

"Hehe~"

Involuntarily, an enchanting smile spread across Mengxi’s face.

"What’s wrong? Suddenly smiling?"

"Nothing~"

Mengxi answered in a playful tone.

Under the warm indoor lighting,

Mengxi skillfully ran the comb through Yumo’s black-red gradient hair, each stroke perfectly placed, showing not only her gentleness toward Yumo but also their intimate closeness. Yumo sat quietly, not pursuing Mengxi’s words, instead enjoying this peaceful moment, joy occasionally leaking from her eyes.

However, In this tranquility, the mischievous Girl of Destiny suddenly leaned close to Yumo, taking advantage of the black-haired girl’s unpreparedness to plant a quick kiss on her cheek. This sudden intimate action was like soft cloud touching still water, causing ripples in Yumo’s calm heart lake.

? ? !

"Umm?"

At the moment of being kissed, Yumo let out an adorable cry of surprise, her cheeks heating up and turning faintly red, like a newly blooming flower. She felt both embarrassed and happy at Mengxi’s sudden action, her feelings like sugared preserves, sweet and warm.

However quickly, to maintain dignity, Yumo furrowed her brows, pretending to glare unhappily at the silver-haired girl who was quite pleased with her successful ’sneak attack’.

"Bad girl, being reckless again!"

"Hehe~"

Facing Yumo’s angry words, Mengxi stuck out her tongue carelessly,

"Can’t help it, who told my Yumo to smell so sweet~"

Speaking, The emboldened Mengxi kissed Yumo’s right cheek again,

"Making it symmetrical~"

"You?! Without permission! tsk!"

"Kissing my own empress? Why do I need permission?"

"Your empress?! I never acknowledged such a thing!"

"But you didn’t deny it in Vinati? Doesn’t that mean silent consent?"

"Nonsense."

"Whether it’s nonsense, my Yumo knows herself~"

Speaking, Mengxi seemed unwilling to continue this topic, after finishing brushing Yumo’s hair, she bounced over to open a nearby wardrobe,

"Let’s not talk about this, next, try on the clothes I prepared for you~ These were transported all the way from Vinati, you can’t refuse~"

"Oh."

Yumo responded perfunctorily.

Though she disliked being someone else’s dress-up doll, considering Mengxi had helped her greatly at a crucial moment in the recent battle, Yumo, feeling indebted, couldn’t bring herself to refuse the enthusiastic Mengxi.

She could only very cooperatively remove her black gauze dress and become the Girl of Destiny’s dress-up doll.

"Do... whatever you want."

"Hehe, thank you~"

Then, having received permission, Mengxi quickly selected several different style outfits from the wardrobe for Yumo to try on.

First was an elegant wine-red formal dress, perhaps with a body-hugging cut, slightly backless or with a high side slit, emphasizing Yumo’s bewitching charm. Under the lights, Yumo wearing this dress radiated brilliance, appearing quite noble and sexy.

Next was a cute style dress, possibly in pink tones or incorporating cute elements like ribbons and polka dots, making Yumo present a unique youthful vitality, like a princess stepping out of a fairy tale.

Looking at herself in the mirror like a doll, Yumo bit her lip with complex emotions.

After trying on several pieces,

Mengxi, with a playful smile, showed Yumo a rather special outfit. Upon seeing this outfit, \\ Yumo’s pupils suddenly contracted, her pretty face full of embarrassment and awkwardness.

"This..."

This outfit was designed more boldly, including lace edges, thin straps and other exaggerated decorations.

It would expose large areas of skin.

Not to mention, what’s with the completely hollow chest?!!

Obviously, this wasn’t an ordinary dress, but lingerie~

"Naughty girl, asking for a beating~"

Yumo pretended to be displeased and gave Mengxi a karate chop, making the silver-haired girl crouch defensively with a pitiful expression.

"Wifey is so mean, you clearly agreed to try everything."

"It’s broad daylight, don’t be reckless... such shameless clothes... if, if we’re trying them... wait till… night..."

Yumo muttered softly, face red.

Hearing this, Mengxi smugly covered her mouth, smirking.

Oh you really~

Says you’re unwilling,

But your eyes show a bit of anticipation~

Such a tsundere wifey~

"You, what are you imagining! I’m, I’m just going along with you! Don’t get weird ideas!"

Seeming to guess Mengxi’s thoughts, Yumo pouted, lowering her voice to warn seriously.

"Oh right, suddenly remembered something."

Whether trying to change the subject or truly having important matters to tell Mengxi.

After snatching the lingerie from Mengxi’s hands and storing it in her internal space, Yumo suddenly spoke to Mengxi in a serious tone:

"Right, there’s something I need to return to you."

"Hm?"

The next moment,

Under Mengxi’s confused gaze, Yumo gently extended her hand, crimson Shadow Power gathering in her palm.

In a slight flash of light and air tremor,

A cute creature like a pink furball suddenly appeared in Yumo’s hand. It looked very soft, like a lively ball covered in fine pink fur, with sparkling big eyes, appearing extremely lovable. When summoned, it bounced lightly, seemingly excited to feel the familiar and intimate aura around it.

"This, this is? Sakura?"

Looking at the familiar pink furball, Mengxi immediately showed a surprised and delighted expression.

Sakura was the incarnation of the Radiant Emperor’s legacy, thought to have vanished with Asar’s body’s destruction. Because of this, Mengxi had been wallowing in depression and self-blame for the past few days. Ultimately, it was to adjust her emotions that Mengxi had delayed coming to Winter Forest to find Yumo.

"Sakura, is it?... Well, this thing was left over along with Asar’s soul after her body was destroyed. I saw your aura on it, so thought to show you... looks like it really is yours."

"Mm! A very important companion."

"Since it’s a companion, treasure it well."

As she spoke, Yumo carefully cradled the fluffy little one in her palm, then gently handed it to Mengxi’s embrace.

Seeing her long-time companion return to her side, Mengxi’s light purple eyes immediately blazed with joy and excitement. She gently hugged the pink furball, and the little ball also nuzzled against Mengxi with its soft body, showing its attachment and joy toward Mengxi.

Waaaaaah!

Master!! Finally seeing you!!

Thought I’d never see you again!! Waaaah qwq

The moment it was held in Mengxi’s arms, Sakura’s crying, grieving voice suddenly transmitted into Mengxi’s mind.

"Sorry, earlier, it was all my mistake."

Mengxi said apologetically while petting the pink ball.

...

Seeing the joy in Mengxi’s eyes, and the interaction between the silver-haired girl and her furry pet, Yumo felt satisfied and happy. This scene was like a perfect picture, frozen in time, full of harmony and sweetness.

However, in this joyful atmosphere, a sudden change occurred.

Yumo’s expression instantly became serious, her brows lightly furrowing, gaze becoming vigilant.

"Hm??"

Wait,

What is this?

Through her perception, an almost undetectable spatial fluctuation quietly appeared, like ripples silently arriving from afar, though weak but impossible to ignore.

These spatial fluctuations might be completely imperceptible to ordinary people, even to Mengxi as a Chosen One, but to a powerful existence like Yumo, it was like a loud warning bell, making the girl shudder.

Mengxi seemed to notice Yumo’s change in expression, asking puzzledly:

"What’s wrong?"

"..."

However,

Before Yumo could answer, the communication magic stone placed on the nearby sofa suddenly emitted a weak blue light.

Surrounded by the light, Xiao’s voice transmitted from it.

--"Lady Yumo, we’ve discovered a strange spatial rift..."--
