"Wake up!"
"Wake up, my dear sister."
In a gentle, fragrant breeze, Bai Yuzhe's consciousness became somewhat hazy, and for a moment he couldn't figure out whether he was dreaming or in real life.
My mind went blank for a long time.
Only then did we gradually establish connections with the world.
He slowly opened his eyes.
The dazzling white light was a bit blinding, and he subconsciously reached out to shield his eyes from it.
"Oh dear, Xiaodie's been naughty again. Why did she get up so late today?"
Bai Yuzhe turned his head and saw a familiar yet unfamiliar figure standing next to him, looking somewhat annoyed.
"I'm sorry, Iris-sister, I was wrong."
Before Bai Yuze could react, the body he was in had already begun to respond on its own.
The voice was a slightly languid female voice.
The sound is crisp and melodious, like a mountain stream flowing gently, making people feel relaxed and happy.
As I sat up, I went to the mirror.
Bai Yuzhe saw a graceful young woman's body, her skin covered by a thin white gauze dress, like a blooming flower, delicate and enchanting.
"Xiaodie's figure is getting better and better. Let me take a look."
He hadn't enjoyed it for long,
A warm, slender hand skillfully attacked her body, its technique extremely practiced, indicating that this was not the first or second time.
The sudden attack of the iris,
This caused Bai Yuze, who was standing by ready to watch the show, to suddenly go blank.
His consciousness entered his body like a river flowing into the sea, and his consciousness and body gradually began to establish a connection.
This feeling is very strange.
After ten minutes,
A faint blush rose on Huan Die's cheeks as she walked out of the room.
I sat down on a soft chair.
The pink-haired little girl sitting next to her turned her head, sniffed with a puzzled look, and said, "Phantom Butterfly, why do you smell so good today? Did you go out and pick some new flowers?"
Phantom Butterfly glared fiercely at Iris, then turned her head and placed the snow-white cake in front of her in front of Evening Mist, saying irritably, "Shut up and eat."
"oh."
At the snow-white rectangular dining table, four people sat together. Yingluo sat in the main seat, Huandie sat diagonally opposite her, and Yuanwei sat opposite her.
Yugiri sat next to her, eating the cake on the table with gusto, her mouth covered in cream.
Huan Die held a loaf of bread in one hand and a glass of milk in the other. The taste on her tongue made her frown slightly.
Both of these foods are full of sour, astringent, and rusty flavors, making them very unpalatable.
The perception in my mind conflicted with the taste in reality, and the food didn't taste right. I felt that these two foods shouldn't taste like this.
But seeing Yugiri eating with great relish, as if it were delicious, she reluctantly finished her food, even though it tasted awful, because wasting food was wrong.
"Du Luo, I already told you the food you made doesn't taste good. I'll make breakfast next time."
Iris saw the phantom butterfly's furrowed brows.
I couldn't help but feel a little sorry for her.
Du Luo stopped eating, slowly looked up at Huan Die, then at Yuan Wei, and said calmly, "No, Huan Die is almost an adult. It's time for her to find her own food."
"Yes, I want to go too."
Upon hearing that they were to get food, Yugiri, who was standing nearby, immediately volunteered excitedly.
"No, you're too weak. You won't be the one getting the food; you'll be the one delivering it to our door."
Faced with this problem,
Dulu and Iris briefly reached a consensus.
Hearing such hurtful words, the little girl gripped the hem of her clothes tightly, her knuckles turning white from the force.
Her body trembled slightly, as if she might collapse at any moment.
"Mingming, all you do is bully me. Just you wait, once I develop an invincible alchemy technique, I'll make you all call me Sister Xiwu."
Du Luo turned her head slightly, her eyebrows raised gently.
Iris burst out laughing, encouragingly saying, "Yes, yes, we'll wait for Little Evening Mist to research the potion, hahaha~"
At this moment, Yugiri completely broke down. Her lips trembled slightly, and her eyes seemed like a dam about to collapse. Huan Die didn't speak, but silently placed the food in front of her in front of Yugiri.
The little girl's lips trembled slightly, tears streaming down her face, and she turned and suddenly hugged Huan Die tightly:
"Mingming, I knew that Sister Huandie was the best. When I develop a potion in the future, I'll give it to you first."
Phantom Butterfly:
As time goes by,
I finally finished that awful breakfast.
Huan Die instinctively wanted to help clear the dishes, but Du Luo's pale golden eyes swept over her, and she stopped what she was doing. "You don't need to stay at home today. Go out and learn hunting from Iris."
Iris smiled and came to her side, gently patting her head. "Little Butterfly, don't be afraid. This is your first time hunting. I'll take you with me."
Although Iris was grateful for her gentle treatment, she genuinely disliked having her head touched. Before the other person could feel comfortable touching her head, she dodged to the side.
Iris shook her head with a wry smile.
It seems Xiaodie still hasn't forgiven what happened this morning.
It's just that the gameplay is a bit novel, isn't it?
As for being so angry, Huan Die wasn't thinking about those things at the moment. Even now, her mind was still a bit blurry, and many memories were like a lump of mush.
Information can only be obtained through brief conversations in the morning.
I have three sisters.
among them,
Du Luo is the strictest, probably the eldest sister, and likely the strongest.
Iris is the second eldest sister, the gentlest, but he is after her body.
Yugiri is the weakest, probably the youngest, and likes to do strange and unusual things.
I am the third child in my family, and I am almost an adult. It is time for me to learn to prepare my own food.
At the doorstep, with Duluo and Xiwu seeing her off, Huandie followed Iris and left home. She looked back and realized that what they called their home was actually a dilapidated church.
But it seems that for them,
It was the only place that was filled with warmth.
On the way to find food, Phantom Butterfly shifted her gaze from herself to the iris in front of her, yearning to know the meaning of her existence: "Sister, what kind of creatures are we? What is our place in the food chain?"
"Oh, as expected of my good sister, you've already started thinking about the meaning of life so quickly."
Iris stroked the head of the Phantom Butterfly and said with a smile, "We are high-level calamity beasts among the abyssal creatures, the Abyssal Demonesses. We are at the top of the food chain. No matter what kind of creature it is, it is food in our eyes."
Phantom Butterfly nodded as if she understood, then asked, "Then, Sister Iris, don't we have any natural enemies?"
"No, but actually, there is a Lord of the Abyss above us Abyss Demonesses. If Sode exists, we must obey his orders. Of course, if he doesn't exist, then we are the highest-level beings in the Abyss world."
"Oh, so the Lord of the Abyss hasn't been born yet, so we Abyss Demonesses are invincible in the Abyss world, right?"
"That's hard to say. Dulu once told me that there's a strange being at the very bottom of the abyss."
It seems to be a being called an evil god. I've heard he's even more powerful than the Lord of the Abyss, but that's just a legend; no one has ever actually seen him.
"Alright, that's enough. Let's get ready to leave the barrier."
While they were talking,
Their figures had already arrived next to a pale white halo.
As they stepped out,
next moment,
The biting cold seemed to sweep in from all directions, beginning to invade her body.
If we were at home just now,
It was a warm and comfortable spring, but now it feels like we've been transported to the harsh winter of Siberia.
However, the moment the bitter cold struck, an unknown, viscous liquid seeped out from her magical markings.
They move very quickly.
In just over ten seconds, it completely covered her body. The liquid felt smooth and cool to the touch, which was actually quite comfortable.
Huan Die looked down and realized that it wasn't some strange creature, but rather a cursed dress unique to her.
Why do I know the names of these things?
On their journey, they flew through the sky.
Huan Die could sense that many things below were very far away, but she felt that as long as she wanted to hear or see, all things in the world would appear before her eyes and ears.
Under the azure sky,
Verdant hills with thousands of peaks and valleys,
It connects to the lush, green plains.
Trees laden with red berries stand tall and verdant, while unnamed silvery flowers bloom across the fields.
However, this beautiful scenery was soon destroyed by a swarm of strange, dark creatures.
They held strangely shaped weapons in their hands, and their mouths were filled with loud shouts and the roars of wild beasts.
"Little Butterfly, do you see them? They're your prey for today."
Iris pointed to the creatures below and introduced them softly, her words carrying an air of superior arrogance, as if these creatures were nothing more than ants to her.
"However, let me take care of their guardians first, otherwise it won't be good if you get hurt."
Before the words were finished,
A deafening roar suddenly erupted from beneath their feet.
Immediately following was a barrage of arrows and fireballs that came crashing down upon them, so dense that there was no time to dodge.
However, these attacks were blocked by the iris before they could reach her.
It was a dark green protective shield.
It looked very sturdy, and under the red moonlight in the sky, it appeared somewhat eerie and beautiful.
A series of violent explosions rang in her ears. Huan Die looked at the iris that was blocking her way, and then at the creature attacking wildly below. A hint of killing intent appeared in her heart.
With a gentle wave of her slender arm, a long, slender butterfly scythe appeared in her hand.
The sickle was tightly wrapped in brown vines, and a violet bloomed on the vines. The pale purple was mixed with pure white, beautiful and pure, but when black mist surrounded it, it looked particularly eerie and ghostly.
Several beautiful butterflies fluttered around it, quietly swirling around.
She took action.
With just a light snatch,
A scythe-like blade, slicing through the sky and carrying a black mist that seemed to come from hell, swept away.
The small strike completely destroyed the lush plain below, carving a massive chasm spanning thousands of meters. A terrifying black liquid continuously overflowed from the chasm, causing any plants that touched it to wither and turn into black powder.
Those densely packed creatures, upon coming into contact with this spreading black mist, either transform into a black cocoon or are dissolved into black water.
"Oh dear, Little Butterfly, don't be impulsive. If you act so terrifying and violent, what if you scare the food away?"
Iris hurriedly flew to her side, stopping her from continuing her next move, and also shielded her from several intense fireballs, pointing at her forehead with a hint of annoyance.
"Food?" Huan Die tilted her head, looking puzzled.
With a wave of her hand, Iris released several grayish-brown seeds into her palm, which she then gently scattered.
The seeds drifted in the wind and landed on the dead creatures, where they quickly took root and sprouted.
In an instant, brown vines spread upwards along the dark red blood on the ground, and a snow-white flower bloomed on the vines.
The iris slowly descended, plucked the snow-white flower, and handed it to the phantom butterfly. "Here, this is one of our foods, the Flower of Calamity."
The weather was a bit gloomy on Saturday.
The air was damp and chilly, creating a sense of oppression.
My breathing became heavy, as if even the air had become thick.
Bai Yuze stood in front of the mirror washing up.
He looked extremely tired in the mirror, as if he hadn't slept all night, as soon as he closed his eyes.
Memories of the Abyss Demoness from two years ago would uncontrollably flood my mind, and what was even more painful was that the familiar headache symptoms had returned.
What was supposed to be a simple and uncluttered bedroom transformed in his eyes once again into a cocoon filled with writhing flesh and blood.
The clothes in the wardrobe were like pieces of fleshy, fleshy clothing with outstretched tentacles, trying to wrap him up.
Shaking his head, everything quickly returned to normal.
Entering the kitchen,
Bai Yuze began preparing breakfast for the day.
He opened the door and found Gu Xiaorou standing outside.
Good morning, brother.
"Good morning, why are you all up so early to go to school today?" Bai Yuze asked, looking at the girl in front of him with some confusion.
"Silly brother, are you still half asleep? It's the weekend, why are you going to school?"
Bai Youqing, wearing pajamas, walked out of the room and saw her older brother standing at the door asking a silly question, which made her facepalm.
"Huh? Oh, I must have been half asleep."
Bai Yuze paused for a moment, glanced at his phone, and realized it was Saturday. He changed the subject somewhat awkwardly.
Have you had breakfast?
"Is that alright? Xiaoqing and I were originally planning to eat out." Gu Xiaorou looked at Bai Youqing.
Her face immediately turned red, and her voice stammered.
"sure."
Bai Yuzhe pulled her in, pulled out a chair for her, and served her a bowl of millet porridge.
"Thank you." Gu Xiaorou felt embarrassed to refuse, so she thanked them politely and took her seat.
Bai Yuze served his younger sister another bowl.
For a moment, there was silence as the three of them sat quietly at the table and ate their breakfast.
At the dining table, Gu Xiaorou looked rather reserved, sitting upright and eating breakfast with dignified manners.
Bai Yuze turned his head to look at his younger sister again. Her little feet, clad in white socks, were shaking incessantly. She picked up a white bowl and showed it off wildly, displaying the same drinking prowess as Wu Song in the movie "Wu Song Fights the Tiger," who downed eighteen bowls of wine in a row.
"Are you full?" Bai Yuze asked with a smile as he looked at Gu Xiaorou, who had put down her spoon.
"Yes, Brother Bai's cooking is very good. Xiao Rou is very full." Gu Xiao Rou nodded.
"Where are you planning to go today? Have you told your family where you're going?" Bai Yuzhe looked at his younger sister and found that she was still eating and didn't want to talk, so he could only turn his gaze to Gu Xiaorou.
Gu Xiaorou glanced at Bai Youqing, then at Bai Yuze, and said with a grin, "It's a girl's secret, the destination has already been reported to the parents."
Since the two of them didn't want to talk about it, Bai Yuze didn't press them further: "Well, but you should be careful when you're out having fun. Tomorrow is the National Memorial Day, so there will be a lot of people on the streets."
"Okay, okay! Brother, why are you being so long-winded again? We're not little kids anymore."
Bai Youqing finally raised her head with some impatience.
Seeing Bai Youqing's inexplicable anger, Bai Yuzhe was speechless for a moment, but finally added quietly, "You can call me if you need anything."
"Um.
.
"Well then, let's go." Gu Xiaorou glanced at Bai Youqing and smiled.
"Okay, be careful when you go out."
Only after watching the two figures disappear into the distance did Bai Yuze slowly close the door.
On the small street,
"Xiaoqing, what's wrong with you today?"
Looking at Bai Youqing beside her, Gu Xiaorou was a little puzzled. After a while, she suddenly chuckled and said, "You're not jealous of me, are you?"
Bai Youqing glared at her, annoyed. "No way."
Gu Xiaorou's expression became even more puzzled. "Why is that?"
"I don't know why, but I've been feeling uneasy and strange these past few days." Bai Youqing looked somewhat sullen.
"And tomorrow is the national memorial day. My brother always looks really off around this time, and I'm a little worried. But I have something very important to do tomorrow."
"So you're struggling with this?"
"Hmm." Bai Youqing nodded. Ever since she smelled that unique scent last night, she suddenly felt a strange sense of unease.
"I think family is the most important thing. My parents are away every day, and I only see them a few times a year. So I really envy you, Xiaoqing, for having a brother who dotes on you so much."
Gu Xiaorou held Bai Youqing's hand, pondered for a while, and then seriously gave her thoughts: "I think the most important thing in the world is not as important as one's family."

"Okay, I understand. By the way, there's something else I'd like to discuss with you." After hearing Gu Xiaorou's words, Bai Youqing immediately made a decision.
"What is it?" Gu Xiaorou paused, rarely seeing Bai Youqing with such a serious expression.
"Why has my brother been so gentle with you ever since he met you? Tell me the truth." Bai Youqing slowly turned her head, her eyes filled with an indescribable emotion.
"Huh?"
