“Da-da-da~”
With the crisp sound of footsteps, the twin little girls quickly scampered through the dilapidated building.
The air was thick with dust and the musty smell, and their cheerful footsteps echoed through the empty corridors.
Mia, with sapphire-blue eyes, appeared especially lively and energetic. She held her sister’s small hand, skipping ahead with short, quick steps, her movements light and eager. A mischievous smile played on her round little face, her eyes sparkling with innocence.
“Hurry up~ Vya! Hurry up! We’re almost there, hee-hee~”
Her younger sister, Vya, quietly followed behind, her long silver hair flowing behind her. She occasionally looked down at the ground, her steps careful, but she was still very cute. Compared to the lively Mia, Vya appeared much more reserved.
Moreover,
Unlike her excited sister, Vya’s little face clearly showed signs of hesitation.
“Sis... is this okay? We didn’t tell Aeria sis, she’ll be upset with us.” Vya spoke timidly.
“Mmm?”
Hearing this, Mia didn’t stop her steps but puffed out her little lips and said with some annoyance:
“There’s no choice, Aeria sis never lets us go play with Mommy. Silly sis, hmph~ Vya, let’s not worry about her~”
“But...” Vya lowered her head hesitantly.
“Don’t you want to find Mommy?” Seeing her sister still hesitating, Mia asked directly with a pointed question.
Upon hearing this, Vya quickly nodded.
“Mm...”
“Then stop thinking so much and come with me~”
“Okay.”
Though she felt guilty for not telling Aeria sis, Vya decided to put aside her hesitation for the chance to be with Mommy.
After a small nod, she obediently followed her twin sister.
And so,
The two little girls continued to merrily scurry through the abandoned building.

Meanwhile,
In the hot spring at the top of the building, Bai Lianyue sat quietly, resting against the wall, her mood complicated as she watched the pink octopus flailing about excitedly.
“Ying ying, ying ying ying~ Ying ying!”
The pink octopus excitedly told her master everything that had happened while Bai Lianyue's consciousness was in a deep slumber.
From the octopus’s excited demeanor, it was clear that it had tried its best.
Unfortunately, due to its limited communication and logic, its words had Bai Lianyue wearing a black line on her face. The Earth Evil God had to raise her hand to her forehead and sigh helplessly:
“Forget it, don’t speak anymore... I’ll ask Severine about the specifics later.”
“Ying...”
Feeling her master’s disdainful gaze, the pink octopus lowered its head in a bit of a dejected manner.
“Sigh.”
After a small sigh, Bai Lianyue slowly lifted her head and gazed at the moon in the sky.
If you are reading this translation anywhere other than Novelight.net or SilkRoadTL, it has been stolen.
Although Lingxi’s communication skills were lacking, Bai Lianyue had still learned about the major events that had happened on the Yao Star in recent years. For instance, the war between Uluti and the Western Siwa Alliance; the Sea Evil God Boravit killing three powerful exiled beings from the Sea Kingdom—Ronavis; and the newly born... God-bestowed Daughter who could control the Sacred Stone...
Enmm,
Speaking of the God-bestowed Daughter?
The one who can control the Sacred Stone seems to be the one I devoured this time...
Pressing her chest, Bai Lianyue gazed at the reflection of her face in the water, feeling a complicated emotion.
After all these years, it seems that a saint, comparable to the former Song of the Fallen, has appeared among humanity... and I just killed her and devoured her, didn't I?
Sigh,
Another sin added to my list?
"Hehe..."
Bai Lianyue let out a bitter laugh.
However, as she smiled bitterly, she suddenly raised an eyebrow, as if remembering something. Then, the Earth Evil God turned sharply to look at the pink octopus:
“Lingxi, didn’t you say that Liana was a saint who possessed the Sacred Stone? Where is the Sacred Stone?”
“Ying?” (Sacred Stone?)
Upon hearing this, the pink octopus curled its tentacles in front of its eyes and began to think.
“Ying, ying ying, ying ying~” (I don’t know, I haven’t seen that thing.)
“Mm?” Bai Lianyue blinked in confusion.
Such an important thing, and the God-bestowed Daughter didn’t keep it with her?
Song of the Fallen never let the Sacred Stone leave her side.
“I don’t get it...”
The more she thought, the more Bai Lianyue couldn’t understand the situation regarding this ‘Liana’ and the Sacred Stone.
Not keeping the Sacred Stone with her...
So kind and gentle, yet suddenly changing her personality, even wanting to kill her own daughter?
Enmm,
Also,
Slowly raising her hand, Bai Lianyue caressed the two ugly scars on her abdomen, her jade-green eyes full of growing confusion.
“She gave birth to three children, but...”
Her body doesn’t bear any signs of childbirth...
“Strange.”
Touching her abdomen’s scars, Bai Lianyue muttered to herself.
Just then,
“Creak...”
The sound of a rusty iron door opening quietly interrupted Bai Lianyue’s thoughts. She turned her gaze toward the rooftop door.
This chapt𝒆r is updated by frёewebηovel.cѳm.
Then,
Under Bai Lianyue’s slightly puzzled gaze, two little heads popped up from behind the door—Mia and Vya, Aeria’s twin younger sisters.
The moment they saw Bai Lianyue, excitement and joy instantly filled their eyes.
“Mommy!!”
“Mommy~”
...
“Huh?”
Although Bai Lianyue didn’t know how the two little ones had found their way here, the moment she saw them, her mind immediately recalled the humiliating scene from earlier. Instinctively, she raised her hand to protect her chest, seemingly fearing that the little ones would rush to her chest again.
But, as it turned out, Bai Lianyue was overthinking.
The two little girls, now full, didn’t look at Bai Lianyue’s chest. Instead, they focused their excited, expectant gazes on Bai Lianyue’s face and the steaming water in the pool.
“Mommy, let’s have a water fight together!!” Mia, ever so straightforward, blurted out her idea without hesitation.
“Vya wants to too...” Vya nodded, softly adding her agreement.
“Eh? A water fight??”
Bai Lianyue tilted her head in confusion, repeating what she had just heard.
Didn’t Aeria tell these two girls about her true identity?
Hmm,
Looks like she didn’t...
Feeling the twins' eager gazes, Bai Lianyue made a judgment in her heart.
“Does your sister know you’re here looking for me?”
“No.” X2
The two little cuties shook their heads in unison.
“Sigh, I knew it.”
Bai Lianyue sighed.
These two little ones must have snuck out while Aeria was sleeping... I knew it, Aeria wouldn’t allow her sisters to come looking for me.
“You should go back now, or your sister will get angry.”
Bai Lianyue spoke gently.
However, as soon as she said this, the smiles on the little girls' faces visibly faded. The next moment, they both pouted, looking at Bai Lianyue with resentful expressions, not showing any sign of leaving.
“Wuwuwu... Mommy doesn’t want to play with us...”
“Mommy doesn’t want us anymore...”
In an instant, the sadness was evident in their eyes, and their big eyes glistened with tears.
“Uh...”
Seeing this, Bai Lianyue’s body trembled slightly.
She truly couldn’t bear to see children cry... Especially when they looked so much like Star Dance.
After a helpless sigh, Bai Lianyue decided to compromise.
“Alright...”
Kids, they’ll get tired of playing in a little while.
Afterward, sending them back should be fine... right?
“It’s late, so you can only play for a little while. Then, you need to go to bed, okay?” Bai Lianyue said sternly, using the same tone she once used with Star Dance.
Upon hearing this, the little ones immediately brightened up, their faces lighting up with innocent smiles.
“Mm-hmm!!”
The next moment, the two little girls, full of excitement, darted out from behind the door, eagerly charging toward the water, ready to jump into the pool with Bai Lianyue.
...
Elsewhere,
As Mia and Vya enjoyed their time with their ‘mommy,’ their sister Aeria was far from happy.
Upon waking and realizing that her younger sisters, who were supposed to be sleeping in the baby blue room, were gone, Aeria suddenly trembled. Her cherry-colored eyes filled with anxiety and panic. She frantically looked around the cave, her hurried footsteps echoing in the silence, each step increasing her inner distress...
However,
After searching for a while and still not finding her younger sisters, Aeria, in desperation, held her head in her hands.
“Mia, Vya... where did you go?!”
At this moment,
Little Aeria cried once again...
"Answer me, please, wuwuwu o(╥﹏╥)o..."
