Abyssal Chronicles-Chapter 988: Eos

Tania had fallen, and the soul contract in her hand was completely shattered.

Tania could no longer control the demon goddess.

In other words, The demon goddess was now acting entirely on her own will, having actively terminated the contract with Tania. She was instinctively... nuzzling against Yumo...

Looking into the little girl’s bright, lively, innocent eyes full of curiosity, Yumo gradually suppressed the urge to take action.

Really, Why does everyone like to nuzzle my face so much? Do you all like treating me as a pillow that much?

Moreover, You, are you the one from that day?

Yumo’s memory flashed back to leaving the Purple Night Palace to play outside a few days ago, like a slideshow. The image of the scruffy girl holding a kitten and eating cat food eventually merged with the demon goddess before her.

At this moment, Yumo couldn’t help but raise an eyebrow.

Oh, so the glutton from that time was you?

A few minutes later, when Xiao dragged the unconscious Tania step by step to Yumo’s side, he couldn’t help but show a look of astonishment and admiration.

"Yu-Yumo-sama, are you..."

At this moment, On the ruins filled with the smell of death and thick gunpowder, the beautiful black-haired girl was sitting gracefully on the ground. And the demon goddess who had just made Xiao breathless was now quietly lying on Yumo’s plump and fair thighs like a well-behaved baby. Nuzzling Yumo’s thighs and smelling Yumo’s scent, a sweet smile appeared on the little girl’s face.

Moreover, Kittens appeared from somewhere, one after another, waddling over to the little girl’s side. Some bold ones even climbed directly onto the little girl’s delicate body, lying on her back and yawning. A few other kittens happily started interacting with Yumo’s bloody butterflies.

For a moment, the scene became quite heartwarming.

Surrounded by kittens, the demon goddess seemed to learn to act coquettishly like a cat, constantly rubbing her head against Yumo’s hand, seemingly seeking interaction from her.

In response, Yumo shook her head somewhat helplessly. But in the end, she chose to compromise and raise her hand, gently stroking the little girl’s head, helping to comb her hair while humming a pleasant nursery rhyme to soothe her.

At first glance, It was clearly a scene of a mother taking care of a child.

Although I know that Lady Yumo likes to take care of children, treating a demon goddess as a child? Isn’t that a bit too...?

Ah, Should I say as expected of Lady Yumo?

Xiao couldn’t help but sigh repeatedly.

After repeatedly confirming that the demon goddess had no intention of launching an attack, Xiao carefully walked to Yumo’s side and asked in a low voice:

"Lady Yumo, does this mean you’ve... tamed the demon goddess?"

"Tamed?"

In response to Xiao’s question, Yumo gave a bitter smile with complex emotions.

Then, Yumo slightly nodded,

"I suppose so, at least for now... this little girl probably won’t go berserk and attack."

"Won’t go berserk..."

Watching the little girl constantly approaching Yumo like a little cat, Xiao muttered thoughtfully:

"Then, does this mean it’s over?"

"Mm, why? Is this not good?"

Hearing this, Xiao shook his head and looked around at the smoke-filled Holy City of Vinati with deep emotion:

"Of course not, I just didn’t expect it to end so easily. I thought that after subduing the demon goddess, at least this Holy City of Vinati would cease to exist. I didn’t expect that in the end, Lady Yumo would abandon defense and use sincerity to dissolve the demon goddess’s hostility. I thought sincerity and such were useless things... I didn’t expect it to have such an effect. My Lady’s bold and wise decision, I deeply admire."

Saying this, Xiao respectfully bowed to Yumo to show his respect.

"Uh, hehe, no, no need, no need for that..."

Yumo waved her hand, laughing very awkwardly.

Don’t, don’t praise me anymore,

This was just a misunderstanding.

If you keep praising, I’ll feel embarrassed.

Yumo grumbled to herself with complex emotions.

While grumbling, the black-haired girl’s gaze couldn’t help but sweep towards Xiao, who was in tattered clothes and in a sorry state:

"How are your injuries?"

"Injuries? Nothing serious, thanks to the help of dragon crystal and tears of nature, my body has recovered quite a bit."

"What about your soul?"

"Most of my soul power is depleted, but it’s not a big problem."

"That’s good."

"By the way milady, what should we do next?"

Xiao asked respectfully.

Although Xiao had already formulated dozens of plans in his mind for after defeating the demon goddess, he never considered the possibility of the demon goddess being taken home by Yumo. Therefore, for a moment, after ending this tense battle, Xiao didn’t know how to handle the aftermath. Especially regarding how to deal with the demon goddess.

Gazing at the seemingly harmless little girl, Xiao expressed his concerns:

"This one, although she looks as innocent as a little girl right now, she is essentially the demon goddess who nearly destroyed the world years ago. How do you plan to deal with her?"

"Ah, about that."

Yumo looked a bit embarrassed and hesitantly tilted her head,

"I’m not too sure either. However, since she has no hostility towards me, and her previous hostility towards you all was entirely due to that damn apostle... I, I don’t plan to kill her, so... let’s keep her for now?"

Yumo smiled with conflicting emotions as she tenderly pinched the little girl’s cheeks.

In any case, It’s rare to meet someone of the same kind, and Yumo has many things she wants to understand from her. Although she doesn’t know how much this seemingly silly child actually knows.

"Anyway, I’ll take care of her."

"As you wish."

Xiao was very supportive of Yumo’s decision. When facing an absolutely powerful enemy, if you can turn them into an ally, you should absolutely not make them an enemy.

"By the way, Xiao. Can I ask you for a favor?"

"Please say it. Whatever it is, simply command me; there’s no need to be polite."

"Uh... could you help me check on Mengxi’s condition?"

Yumo’s eyes flashed with worry when she mentioned Mengxi.

"This little girl, although I’m not very sure why, was previously residing in Mengxi’s body. Such powerful force being separated from her body, I don’t know how she’s doing now..."

"My Lady… Regarding Miss Mengxi, wouldn’t it be better for you to check on her yourself?"

"Sigh, there’s no way, this girl keeps clinging to me."

Looking down at this ’big wild cat’ sticking to her, Yumo sighed helplessly:

"I can’t bring her to see Mengxi, can I? After all, she is the Lord of the Abyss. What if she senses the divine power overflowing from Mengxi’s body and goes berserk, attacking Mengxi? This girl has just calmed down. Previously, there seemed to be orders from Tania, but now..."

"I understand, I will bring the best medicine and doctors to Miss Mengxi, please rest assured."

"Mm. ...Oh, Xiao, one more thing."

"Regarding Mengxi, many things she did against you all over these years were not intentional. Because the demon goddess was monitoring her, she had no choice but to do them, so..."

"I understand, Lady Yumo."

After a few instructions, Xiao deactivated his magic spear release state, turning back into that familiar handsome black-haired man, and surrounded by thick magical power, he rushed towards the wilderness plain where Mengxi and Asar were located.

Watching Xiao’s steady and reliable figure, Miss Yumo couldn’t help but feel slightly relieved.

Then, Yumo looked somewhat confused at the adorable little girl lying on her thighs,

"Now… what should I do with you, demon goddess?"

Emm

Constantly calling her demon goddess... doesn’t seem quite right either, right? After all, this girl doesn’t match up with ’demon goddess’ at all.

"Little one, do you have a name?"

"Umm?"

Hearing Yumo’s question, the little girl slowly raised her head and met Yumo’s gaze. Then she just blinked innocently, without answering anything.

Did she not understand my words?

The next moment, Yumo pointed at herself and said her name very gently and patiently:

"Yumo"

After introducing herself, Yumo pointed at the little girl in front of her.

"And you?"

At this moment, the little girl seemed to understand Yumo’s meaning and imitated her action by pointing at herself:

"Eos."

"Eos?"

"Umm"

Seeing Yumo call out her name, the little girl named Eos nodded excitedly, her pretty face showing a beautiful, radiant smile.
