Abyssal Chronicles

Chapter 452 - 453: Magic Restoration [3/4]

"Um, Mum, Yumo~"

At this moment, inside Yumo’s bedroom, a black-haired young girl was sitting gracefully on the sofa. Meanwhile, Mengxi, the Girl of Destiny, who possessed the Holy powers, lay quietly on Yumo’s thigh.

Taking advantage of this rare moment, Mengxi slowly closed her eyes, peacefully savoring the all-encompassing presence that emanated from her beloved Yumo. The refreshing, ethereal fragrance, the gentle rhythm of Yumo’s breathing, the delicate rustling of her hair, and the sensation of their skin touching were all so familiar to Mengxi.

For Mengxi, everything about Yumo was unforgettable. And now, after nearly two months of separation, being in contact with these familiar sensations, Mengxi couldn’t help but feel her cheeks flush and her heart race. The beautiful face of her beloved one gradually took on a rosy hue.

Feeling the softness of Yumo’s thigh and the gentle caresses on the back of her head, Mengxi, in this moment, truly felt she was enveloped in Yumo’s gentle care. Her heart was filled with happiness and satisfaction.

With a big smile on her face, Mengxi, who was lying on Yumo’s thigh, took a greedy breath. As the air, infused with Yumo’s fragrance and a subtle touch of Shadow energy, entered her nostrils, Mengxi instantly felt calmness and comfort. Her body and mind relaxed in a way they had never experienced before, and the strange restlessness that had been building up within her for so long suddenly dissipated.

"Yumo... hehe~" Mengxi made a slightly muffled and delighted sound.

For Mengxi, absorbing the trace amounts of Shadow power emanating from Yumo could indeed greatly assist in her cultivation. So, from the beginning, Mengxi had somewhat greedily absorbed the power from Yumo’s body, using various excuses to get closer to her.

However, after a while, Mengxi realized that Yumo’s Shadow energy was a double-edged sword for her. While it helped her enhance her strength, it also unwittingly made her addicted to it.

Gradually, she found herself unable to do without her delicious energy. Whenever she absorbed or came into contact with Yumo’s power, she felt extremely comfortable. But when she went for a period without contact with her power, her body would become restless, and her mind confused.

Although she had replenished herself with Yumo’s power before their separation in Snow Night Empire, nearly two months had passed. That strange and unsettling sensation had returned recently.

Every night, she would become restless, drenched in sweat, tossing and turning. All she could think about was Yumo.

This had made it impossible for Mengxi to get proper rest for the past week.

Sometimes, Mengxi even had doubts whether Yumo had intentionally approached her initially just to make her absorb Her energy and then use this withdrawal reaction to control her. But after giving it some thought and remembering Yumo’s simple and adorable nature, Mengxi dismissed the speculation from her mind.

Her sister couldn’t be that cunning...

(Yumo: Hey! ?(???)?)

...

Today, when Mengxi saw her beloved Yumo appear in the classroom, her heart was filled with unrestrained joy. If it weren’t for the fact that there were many classmates nearby watching, Mengxi even had the impulse to rush up and embrace her beloved sister.

But considering the bigger picture, Mengxi suppressed her inner excitement.

And in the evening, when she arrived in Yumo’s room with no one else around, Mengxi finally found it challenging to control herself.

Although she always wanted to avoid leaving any bad impression on Yumo, when she saw Yumo sitting on the sofa, as if she had just finished bathing, emitting an enticing fragrance, Mengxi couldn’t contain the suppressed excitement that had been building up inside her for so long.

Without a second thought, the silver-haired girl put down the documents she was holding and pounced into Yumo’s embrace, eagerly enjoying the affection from her sister.

"Hehe, I love my sister the most~" Mengxi whispered almost dreamily, as if talking in her sleep.

Yumo, on the other hand, couldn’t help but smile in a somewhat helpless and indulgent manner. She continued to gently stroke Mengxi’s head with her small hand.

"Ah, I really can’t do anything with you, you little troublemaker."

She sighed as she glanced at the scattered documents around, feeling relieved.

To be honest, Yumo was caught off guard when Mengxi suddenly hugged her earlier. Her mind couldn’t help but recall the noughty incidents that had occurred inside the tent before. For a moment, Yumo thought that Mengxi was up to something again, and a blush appeared on her pretty face.

Considering the style of her long dress, Mengxi only needed to pull it down forcefully, and she would be completely naked. Yumo hurriedly reached out and pinched the neckline, resolutely preventing any untoward actions.

However, Yumo soon realized that this time it was just her overthinking. Mengxi had simply hugged her and nuzzled her cheek without any ulterior motives.

Therefore, Yumo, after shamefully banishing the bizarre thoughts from her mind, sat quietly on the sofa and allowed Mengxi to rest on her thigh, nuzzling and cuddling as she pleased.

"Ah." Lowering her head to gaze at the silver-haired girl who seemed lost in a dream and had been talking in her sleep, Yumo let out a sigh of mixed emotions.

’I can’t believe... what she said before was actually true...’

After their candid conversation inside the tent, Yumo had learned about the ’withdrawal reaction’ from Mengxi. She was initially shocked but didn’t completely believe it. She had been fooled by this troublesome girl before, so this time Yumo was cautious. Who knew if Mengxi’s previous words were meant to take advantage of her later?

However, judging from Mengxi’s currently overheated body and the gradual stabilization of her physical strength after absorbing some of Yumo’s power, it seemed that Mengxi’s words weren’t just empty talk. This girl’s mouth might be foul, but her body’s response couldn’t be faked.

’Indeed, the Girl of Destiny, the heroine of this world, was addicted to my power...’

’What a strange turn of events... Well, I don’t exactly dislike it’

...

’Furthermore, that bold move of hugging me earlier, I suppose it was because she couldn’t hold back any longer, right?’

Thinking about this, Yumo’s previously uncomfortable emotions due to misunderstanding completely dissipated.

At the same time, the black-haired girl couldn’t help but look around with some unease. Their current position with Mengxi resting on her thigh was a bit awkward. If Yuan’er, that little brat, saw them like this, it would be difficult to explain. However, after sensing her surroundings for a moment, Yumo found it puzzling that she couldn’t detect Yuan’er’s presence anywhere in the teacher’s dormitory building.

’Did she go out to play?’

’She played all day and is still so active at night?’

’Is Yuan’er usually this playful?’

Yumo tilted her head with some confusion. In her doubt, she also felt a sense of relief. At least, for now, she didn’t have to think about how to explain things to Yuan’er.

’On another note, what about Sebastian? Why has he been in the bathroom for so long? Did he get a stomachache?’

’Well, let’s give him some privacy’

’But... we can’t stay like this forever’

Yumo muttered, looking somewhat distressed at the girl on her thigh. Although Mengxi’s murmurs about liking Yumo the most had warmed her heart, they couldn’t continue with this incoherent sleep-talking.

’What if Yuan’er returned at any moment?’

’Emm... But...’

’She’s been absorbing for so long, and she hasn’t recovered yet? Has she not absorbed enough?’

’If she hasn’t absorbed enough... should I help her replenish a bit more?’

Thinking this, Yumo slowly extended her slender index finger. Crimson light began to gather gradually toward her fingertip.
