Free Web Novel“Hehe, Sis, what other bad things are you planning to do to me?”
After being tossed around for quite a while, Hua Shiyu now seemed to lack even the strength to speak, her bright pink eyes looking somewhat dim.
“Why is your body so weak?” Vieya sounded a little worried. She had only been carrying this short pink-haired girl along the road like one would carry a rabbit. She did not even make her walk. How had she ended up looking half-dead already?
“Too bumpy... I feel like I’m going to vomit...” ƒreeωebnovel.ƈom
“Don’t you dare! Hold it back! If you throw up on me, I’ll make you lick it clean!” Vieya threatened darkly, her face unpleasant. She had a bit of a cleanliness obsession, and she meant it.
Hua Shiyu’s face turned ashen, her voice muffled: “You devil!”
“So what?”
Vieya’s lips curled ever so slightly, and she slowed her steps so the short pink-haired girl would not suffer so much.
Once upon a time, she too had been an ordinary person—but that time was far too long ago.
So long that even her memories had begun to blur.
Especially after becoming a slime girl, her sense of time had gradually dulled.
She wanted to drink some sweet corn wine.
What was going on?
Vieya rubbed her forehead, her spirit a little hazy. Counting carefully, since she had crossed over, she had spent nearly twenty years in this world.
Twenty years.
How many decades does one get in a lifetime?
And for her, this was two decades patched together, and that was not even counting her age before crossing over.
Vieya suddenly fell silent. She remembered an old song from her previous life: even the strongest have the right to be weary...
How sentimental.
Was she just getting old?
Vieya touched her own chest—neither big nor small.
“Sis? What’s wrong? You don’t look so well. I already promised to cooperate with you in doing bad things, Sis, so don’t you dare abandon me at the critical moment... Otherwise, my life is over.” Hua Shiyu’s voice was small, but she kept rambling on. “The supervision of officials in the Royal Capital is extremely strict. If they find out I helped you, Sis, my body definitely couldn’t withstand the torture devices in their prisons...”
“Just remembered some things from the past.”
Vieya shook her head. At the same time, instead of carrying Hua Shiyu like a rabbit, she held her in her arms like a little dog. She asked:
“Are you feeling any better?”
“I’m not like you people. I’m just an ordinary girl. Let me rest a bit. Ugh... this position is much more comfortable.”
Hua Shiyu spoke softly, then closed her eyes. Leaning against the soft slime, she rested while ➤ NоvеⅠight ➤ (Read more on our source) continuing:
“Maybe in your eyes, I’m just weak. But even the weak have their own way of surviving. I’ve read more books than you, studied more languages than you, hehe, and when it comes to understanding humans, maybe I know more than you as well.”
“You’re so narcissistic.” Vieya was speechless. freewebnoveℓ.com
“Sis, you’re not the first one to say that to me.”
Hua Shiyu opened her eyes. Even though the heavy pressure that had shadowed her had long since vanished, she still did not even have the strength to lift her arm. She forced a faint smile at the corner of her lips:
“Sis, I can agree to help you. But can you tell me what your purpose is? What do you actually want? Revenge? Treasure? Or just toying with us all for fun?”
Vieya did not answer directly. Instead, she asked her a question: “Have you ever seen the supreme ruler of the Human Alliance?”
“Her Majesty the Empress? Sorry, that lady resides in seclusion in the Royal Capital. She almost never appears in public... The last time she appeared was three years ago, but unfortunately, I wasn’t there.” Hua Shiyu rested her head on the soft slime, sounding sleepy. “Sis, are you a Demon King?”
“I’m not.”
“Then are you the mortal vessel of some evil god?”
“Also no.”
“Then you are...?”
Hua Shiyu found that her mortal wisdom was completely useless here, restricted at every turn. Feeling frustrated, she started spouting nonsense:
“Oh, I get it. Sis is a great human hero who went bad. Mm, a traitorous Hero, like a sweet potato past its shelf life—once edible for humans, but if monsters eat it, they die.”
So I can only be bad, huh?
“Then did you die?”
“Ah, isn’t that because you’re kind, Sis~” Without realizing it, Hua Shiyu’s tone had become flirty again. She rubbed her face against Vieya’s chest without even noticing.
“Sis, if you absolutely must meet Her Majesty the Empress, it’s best not to try resolving it through force.”
“You’re not going to ask me why I want to meet her?” Vieya stopped walking.
“Everyone has their own secrets,” Hua Shiyu said. “Sis, you’ve been honest with me, so I should respond in kind. The Royal Capital is dangerous. It’s not like this countryside.”
Of course I know it’s dangerous, Vieya thought silently without answering. If it were not, she would not need to waste so much effort crafting a new persona—an image of absolute justice without any shadows.
Seeing Vieya remain quiet, Hua Shiyu assumed she had not explained clearly, so she went on:
“After all, I was born in the Royal Capital. There are many divine-era ruins there, and relics have been unearthed inside. Legends say that beneath the Royal Capital lies the corpse of a giant god, and on nights without a moon, the residents can hear its mournful cries...”
“That’s just a story to scare children. Same as saying there’s a big bad wolf outside.” Vieya shook her head.
“Fake.”
On the other side.
Rania, having re-entered the Tribunal, suddenly froze in her tracks.
Her purple eyes scanned her surroundings with doubt: hurried staff rushing about, and three-man knight squads running past from time to time.
Everything seemed perfectly normal.
The only exception was that the message she had sent to her senior sister had sunk like a stone into the sea, with no reply at all.
