"Cough cough!!"

As waves of gentle and comfortable soul power entered his body, Xiao’s soul gradually recovered from its near-shattered state. After his soul power was replenished, Xiao, who had slightly regained his senses, slowly opened his eyes.

At this moment, he had been placed leaning against a large rock, and the person who placed him there had even thoughtfully dug out a pillow from the ruins to put under his head.

As his vision gradually recovered, everything before him became clearly visible.

Then, What entered Xiao’s sight were several bloody butterflies dancing gracefully, and that familiar black-haired girl who made one feel at ease.

The black-haired girl was silently crouching in front of Xiao, carefully tending to his wounds.

"La-Lady Yumo?"

Faced with Xiao’s exclamation, Yumo smiled gently,

"You’ve worked hard, Xiao. Thanks to you all, we successfully lured that one out."

"Lady Yumo?"

Looking at the black-haired girl in front of him, Xiao’s eyes welled up with surprise.

"Weren’t you, weren’t you sealed?"

After all, in Xiao’s view, their innocent Yumo had been deceived by the Girl of Destiny again this time, and was finally sealed in the barrier. Originally, Xiao was thinking of controlling Tania after forcing her to break the sealing barrier. Unexpectedly, Yumo had come out on her own?

Seeing Xiao so surprised, Yumo was slightly stunned, then raised her hand to cover her mouth, her crimson eyes inadvertently overflowing with a trace of smugness.

"Hehe, even you thought so? To have deceived even you, it seems my performance this time was really not bad, hehe~"

At this moment, Yumo was clearly proud of her efforts being rewarded, looking quite pleased with herself.

Seeing Yumo’s sweet smile, Xiao vaguely guessed something.

"You, you did it on purpose? Even though you seemed so desperate when being sealed, and even cried?"

"If I didn’t cry a bit, how could I deceive them?"

"Hehe, it seems so. Not just them, even the Nightingale organization members who infiltrated the venue were all deceived by you. But you, you are actually... It’s really unexpected."

"You mean I’m such a good actor ¬‿¬?"

The black-haired girl playfully tilted her head, sticking out her tongue smugly:

Well, It seems my recent efforts in studying Sebastian’s Encyclopedia of Acting weren’t in vain.

"I’m the mother hen for you bunch; aren’t you all such superb actors? Isn’t it normal for me to act too?"

Hearing this, Xiao was first stunned, then lowered his head very apologetically and gratefully:

"Indeed."

Seeing this, the black-haired girl smiled very contentedly and considerately reached out to rub Xiao’s head.

"Alright, let’s leave it at that for now. As for you, after you recover a bit, quickly leave this place, understand?"

"Lady Yumo, you plan to?!"

"Well, just leave it to me."

Saying this, The black-haired girl’s expression gradually sank, a terrifying chilling aura gradually spreading out in all directions with Yumo’s delicate body as the center.

"To lure that one out, I’ve been holding back for a long time~. I’m about to burst~... Now, it’s time to vent that anger properly."

Retracting the gentleness, only a suffocating coldness remained in her face.

Then, Yumo slowly stood up, turning her head to look at the two figures in the sky.

"Well, it’s time we settled our accounts properly, isn’t it?"

On the other side, The moment she met Yumo’s cold gaze, Tania instinctively retreated repeatedly.

"Lure, lure out?!"

Tania’s pupils trembled as she heard the black-haired girl’s remarks, her fists tightening and her claws burrowing into her flesh.

In an instant, Drop after drop of blood fell from Tania’s palms.

"You, you were pretending all along?! You deliberately let yourself be sealed?!!"

Even now, Tania seemed somewhat unwilling to accept the truth.

Hearing the somewhat frenzied roar of the blonde girl, Yumo sneered:

"Do you even need to ask? If I didn’t put on a good show of being sealed, how would you feel at ease sending the clone to the North? How could I lure this one out of Mengxi’s body?"

"!?_?!"

Tania was astonished by Yumo’s remarks, her eyes wide with incredulity, and she bit her lip angrily and unwillingly:

"You, you knew?"

"Knew? Knew what?"

Yumo asked playfully:

"Do you mean, knowing your true identity? Knowing you wanted to frame Mengxi? Or, knowing you kept a Demon Goddess clone in your residence? Or perhaps, knowing the Demon Goddess’s true form was hidden in Mengxi’s body? Well, which of these are you referring to?"

Yumo’s curious gaze was thus cast towards Tania, and faced with this gaze, Tania was directly speechless, unable to say a word, only standing there like a wooden person struck by lightning.

It wasn’t until several seconds later that Tania shakily shook her head:

"No, no, this is impossible? You, you couldn’t have noticed... You haven’t, haven’t, haven’t even left Purple Night Palace much?"

"Leave Purple Night Palace? Is there a need to leave?"

Yumo asked lightly:

"Such things, just a casual perception, and wouldn’t I know it all? Did you really think that broken barrier in the Prime Minister’s residence could block my perception? Did you really think I couldn’t see the Demon Goddess hidden in Mengxi’s body?"

"Wh-what?"

"Well, you just told my silly boy not to underestimate the ninth level, right?"

When Yumo said this, a red light flashed in her eyes, and her light glance accidentally carried a tinge of sympathy.`

"Who’s really underestimating the ninth level here?"

Being questioned like this, Tania was completely speechless. All she could do was perhaps continue to stare intently at Yumo with unwilling and angry eyes.

But such a Tania was nothing more than impotent rage.

Of course, Yumo couldn’t care less about Tania’s reaction.

Now that the Demon Goddess had appeared, she just needed to follow the predetermined plan and completely annihilate her.

Thinking this, Yumo spoke no more, terrifying crimson Shadow began to continuously overflow from her body, and the bloody butterflies dancing around her also began to flutter restlessly. In an instant, the space around Yumo began to distort under the energy fluctuations.

An unprecedented pressure, like the collapse of heaven, descended from above, directly pressing on Tania, making it difficult for her to breathe.

At this point, although very unwilling to admit it, and her heart filled with unwilling emotions, Tania knew clearly that the plan she had painstakingly managed until now had failed.

Counting on Bloody Butterfly and the false goddess to destroy each other was now unrealistic.

Moreover, After Bloody Butterfly learned of her actions over these years, she would certainly not let her off. The way Bloody Butterfly looked at her, and that killing intent that changed the color of skye and earth, was enough to prove this point.

However, at this point, Tania, whose heart was enveloped by unwilling emotions, how could she be willing to give up just like this.

Heh,

Hehe,

Hehehe.

After a strange cold laugh, Tania suppressed the fear and fearlessly met Yumo’s crimson eyes that were like rubies.

No, my plan hadn’t completely failed yet, I still had one last method she could execute! If successful, I can still fulfill my lifelong wish! Expel the goddess and free this world.

The next moment, having made up her mind, Tania took a deep breath and slowly raised her right hand, the tattoo on her arm rippling with a pale, eerie light.

As the eerie light bloomed, Tania suddenly burst out with a shouted:

--"Please kill her, Goddess!!"—
