Chapter 67: What is a kind father and a strict mother! The Cataclysm of Khaenri'ah!

Inazuma City! Tenshukaku!

Having just enjoyed the beautiful sunrise and drunk wine all night.

Makoto and Saigu, who had been in a very pleasant mood, were sitting together, but at this moment, their expressions were somewhat stunned.

The cause of this was right before their eyes.

Both their gazes were focused on the young girl being held by Hearing Luo Li.

"This is... little Yae?!"

After a long silence, it was Saigu who finally broke the atmosphere.

Judging by the little girl's fox ears, tail, familiar scent, and the bloodline resonance unique to their kin, her guess should be correct.

"You guessed right."

"Why?" This time, it was Makoto who asked.

She meant why it had turned out like this.

Hearing Luo Li, who looked like a nanny holding Yae's little hand, was very helpless; if you ask me, who should I ask?

"If I said I didn't know either, would you believe me?"

Makoto and Saigu looked at each other, not very satisfied with this answer.

But seeing Hearing Hearing Luo Li appearance, which didn't look like he was lying, they had to reluctantly accept it.

The three looked at each other in silence, not knowing what to say for a moment.

If there was anyone present who was indifferent to this situation, or even very happy, it would probably be Yae herself.

She had been thinking about it for a long time, and finally, she had transformed.

Touching her own face, then using a reflective bronze mirror to carefully examine her appearance bit by bit, her eyes were full of excitement and wonder.

"So this is what the human form is like."

Only when she truly became a human did she have a real concept of the scenes she had imagined in the past.

Waving her hands, pinching her legs, the young Yae was full of novelty about everything.

The environment she was accustomed to seemed to become strange after changing form, requiring her to re-adapt.

Hearing Luo Li instructed: "I'm leaving her to you two."

If she were still a little fox, it wouldn't matter to carry her around, but such a big girl was very troublesome.

Who knew that the first to oppose this proposal would be Saigu herself.

"You made her like this, and you still want to shirk responsibility?"

"???"

No, why did that sound so ambiguous?

Kitsune Saigu pouted: "Don't even think about shirking your responsibility; from now on, Yae will practice magic with you during the day, and I will teach her the Hakushin secret arts at night."

She had completely come to her senses.

Since Yae had transformed early, it meant that her education could also get on the right track early.

Kitsune Saigu didn't know if she would survive the future great cataclysm, so she was more willing to teach her junior everything she knew in the shortest possible time, to avoid the inheritance being cut off in case of an accident.

Hearing Luo Li: "..."

"You're even willing to teach a little girl from the countryside; you wouldn't discriminate against a child of my Hakushin clan, would you?!"

Since she had said that, how could he refuse?

However, with both daytime and nighttime occupied, Hearing Luo Li cast a pitying look at the still-excited pink-haired young girl.

This was no different from those parents who hoped their children would become successful; it was foreseeable that it would be almost impossible for the little one to be as lazy as before.

"Enjoy it while you can; it won't be long before you can't laugh anymore."

Pinching Yae's slightly baby-fat cheeks, Hearing Luo Li was inexplicably addicted.

Honestly, compared to the fox form, pinching like this was also quite comfortable.

Unlike Saigu, her eyes were slightly elongated, with peach-red corners, as if she were wearing natural eyeshadow.

Even though she was just a little girl, she faintly exuded a hint of charm.

Ignoring Hearing Hearing Luo Li behavior, the young Yae remained immersed in her happy mood.

She didn't know that for a long time in the future, her disposable time would be severely squeezed.

There was no help for it; Kitsune Saigu was cultivating Yae with the mindset of training a successor for the Grand Shrine. If she didn't put in enough hard work and sweat, she wouldn't be able to transform into that almost omnipotent Chief Priest of the future.

"It's a pity, I can't use her to warm my hands and feet in the winter anymore." Makoto felt very regretful about this.

Hearing Luo Li was speechless; so you really brought her back just for warmth?

On the other side, seeing Hearing Luo Li acquiesce, Kitsune Saigu smiled like a flower.

"It's settled then."

Just at this moment.

No sooner had she finished speaking than an anxious report came from the Shogunate guards outside the door.

"General, there is information sent back from the envoy stationed in Khaenri'ah."

This news made everyone present, except for Yae, focus their attention.

Raiden Makoto withdrew her smile and said in a deep voice: "Present it."

A moment later, a Shogunate guard walked in with his head bowed, and was startled to see Lady Saigu and Lord Hearing Luo Li also present.

Not daring to delay, he quickly placed a letter with a thunder crest in the hall, then hurried away.

Hearing Luo Li, without any self-consciousness about overstepping his bounds, picked up the letter, tore it open casually, and began to browse through it first.

At first, his brows furrowed.

Raiden Makoto asked: "How is it?"

Reading the content at a glance, Hearing Luo Li narrowed his eyes slightly and read slowly.

"The envoy's letter states that many strange things have been happening in Khaenri'ah recently; it is rumored that roaring sounds have been coming from deep underground, like waves, and many residents are filled with fear and anxiety."

"Furthermore, ominous power has emerged in several locations, and those who came into contact with it have disappeared; when they were found again, they had turned into monsters, rumored to have been cursed."

"So far, this curse is still spreading, to the extent that the surface has also been affected, and monsters are constantly gathering in groups, wandering aimlessly."

"News has spread that the cause of this is the Chief Alchemist of the court, Rhinedottir, who came into contact with forbidden power to create life forms against the heavens."

"Now, more and more people hope that Rhinedottir will stop such dangerous behavior, but the Khaenri'ah court has not provided an answer regarding the follow-up."

"..."

Looking at what was written in the letter, Hearing Luo Li never expected that there would be divisions within Khaenri'ah.

In addition to what he read out, there was more information about the ancient underground kingdom of Khaenri'ah.

The letter was ten pages long, detailing the current situation and requesting instructions from the General on what to do next.

He had originally thought that the war of Khaenri'ah was because the Sustainer of Heavenly Principles had struck first, and then Rhinedottir wanted to find a way to fight back, resulting in a tragedy where abyssal power swept across the land because it couldn't be controlled after contact.

But now it seems that before the battle began, the alchemist known as "Gold" had already leaked abyssal power.

This power was powerful enough, and it also possessed matching dangers.

After reading it, he handed the letter to Makoto and Kitsune Saigu, and Hearing Luo Li fell into deep thought alone.

Before long, the other two also had similar expressions to his.
