Forced to Sell Myself to the Female Lead After Killing the Male Lead

77  Chapter 77

Forget it,

She's already silly enough,

How much sillier could she get?

After rubbing the little wolf cub's head, Yumo sighed with a sense of resignation,

"Forget it, as long as she's fine."

"Meow~"

The little wolf, who was enjoying Yumo's touch, naturally had no idea what Yumo was thinking and was simply wagging its tail happily.

Seeing her sister transformed into such a silly, adorable state, Liyu sighed helplessly,

It seemed,

In the near future, she would have to play the role of a babysitter once again.

After a slight sigh, Liyu slowly looked up, meeting Yumo's crimson eyes filled with motherly affection, "Mother, what should we do now? There are still quite a few people over there."

As she spoke,

A cold, murderous intent emerged in Liyu's emerald eyes, sending a shiver down the spines of the two little white birds on her head. Liyu then glanced at the southern part of Galros Fortress, where Marquis Xiumu and the others were. After all, in Liyu's eyes, these people were also part of the Snow Night Empire and had conspired to hurt her sister.

For these people, Liyu already had the urge to cut them all into pieces.

In any case, most of those people had already collapsed, and a few gusts of wind could put an end to them once and for all.

However,

In response to Liyu's question, Yumo shook her head indifferently,

"As for them, it doesn't matter. Let's leave them alone."

"Understood, Mother."

Seeing that Yumo had no intention of taking action, Liyu decisively retracted the murderous intent in her eyes, returning to her usual kind and gentle demeanor. Clearly, playing the role of a good daughter was more important to Liyu than venting her anger.

"So, Mother, what now? Shall we go back?"

"Mm,"

Yumo nodded slightly,

Then, under Liyu's slightly astonished gaze, she walked over to the silver-haired girl nearby and gently cradled the scarred and unconscious heroine in a princess style.

At this sight, Liyu's eyes revealed a hint of hidden anger, but the young girl quickly concealed it.

Afterward, Liyu carefully walked over to Yumo, feigning curiosity, and asked,

"Mother, are you going to take this child back with us?"

"Mm, yes."

Yumo nodded noncommittally and gazed into the distance with a thoughtful expression.

Initially, Yumo intended to leave Mengxi inside Galros Fortress, allowing the knights in the distance to save her.

But considering the Snow Night Empire's previous actions, Yumo was slightly uneasy. If these knights wanted to harm the female protagonist, wouldn't that be a disaster? Even if they didn't intend to harm her, would that large group of men not have any indecent thoughts when they saw such a beautiful and unconscious Mengxi?

Yumo couldn't be sure.

After all, she herself sometimes had some strange ideas...

In any case, she didn't want the female protagonist's innocence to be lost so mysteriously. It would be better if she looked after her personally.

Besides,

It was a rare opportunity, and while she was unconscious, Yumo could use all the precious medicines for strengthening the body and soul that Sebastian had given her. n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

Strengthening the heroine's foundation would help her become even more formidable in the future.

With this in mind, Yumo called forth a massive tiger-shaped abyssal demon, preparing to ride on its back and return to the frigid Winter Forest.

As Yumo settled upon the tiger's back, the soft, puzzled voice of Liyu once again reached her ears.

"Mother, how do we handle this creature?"

"Hmm?"

Upon hearing this, Yumo curiously followed Liyu's gaze.

Immediately, the dark-haired girl raised an eyebrow.

"Ah, I almost forgot about her…"

Looking at the half-dead apostle of heaven, Bai Yanluo, still buried in the ground, Yumo fell into a brief moment of contemplation.

Moments later, Yumo sighed.

"Forget it, let's consider it a buy one, get one free deal. Let's just take her with us to."

"Alright, understood, Mother."

Liyu obediently nodded and then scampered over to Bai Yanluo's side.

However, Liyu had no intention of treating Bai Yanluo as gently as Yumo treated the heroine.

The gray-haired little girl indifferently grabbed Bai Yanluo's ankle and dragged the white-haired knight across the ground, face-first, like a mop. She then quickened her pace to catch up with Yumo's retreating figure.

As Yumo and Liyu departed, the abyssal demons near the Galros Fortress began to retreat back into the Winter Forest.

Thus, the crisis in the northern territories of the Snowy Night Empire was temporarily resolved.

At this moment,

Tens of thousands of miles away,

Within the palace of the Snowy Night Empire's capital, Sky Dome,

Accompanied by a burst of azure spatial fluctuations, a massive azure door suddenly opened within the grand royal garden.

The next moment,

A disheveled, frightened, golden-haired man comically emerged from the spatial door and landed in a pool.

This golden-haired man was none other than Prince Bernard of the Snowy Night Empire, who had previously commanded the firing of the magic-guided fission bomb in the Neville Mountains.

As a member of the Snowy Night Empire's royal family, Bernard's ring held a rare spatial gem from the royal collection, which could transport him to a designated safe location in dire situations. Upon seeing the sky filled with blood-red butterflies, Bernard was utterly terrified. However, under the influence of his survival instincts, he unconsciously activated the spatial magic on his ring.

Ultimately, just before the crimson thunder swallowed the Neville Mountains, the terrified prince was transported back to the palace of Sky Dome.

Of course, the gem shattered in the process.

Struggling to crawl out of the pool, Bernard had no trace of his noble image as he lay panting heavily on the grass, his whole being still in a state of shock.

It wasn't until several seconds later, upon realizing he was safe, that he gradually returned to his senses.

Those butterflies… What on earth were they?!

No, this won't do!

I must report this to Father immediately!

With that in mind, Bernard desperately tried to suppress the fear within him, attempting to control his trembling body and, with great difficulty, managed to prop himself up from the ground.

However,

In the instant Bernard looked up, his eyes suddenly narrowed! The fear he had just managed to suppress instantly surged within him like a fountain, spreading wildly in his heart, accompanied by an intense premonition...

At this moment,

In front of Bernard,

A blonde man had already appeared before him without him knowing.

He was a handsome man with a golden braid, wearing a gorgeous gown. His face was carved with distinct features, and his cold, aloof eyes seemed to lack focus. The depths of his deep blue eyes were filled with calmness. His golden hair scattered beside his ears, with the earrings emitting a luxurious golden glow.

His figure was tall and slender, yet not rough.

Undoubtedly, he was a one-of-a-kind beauty.

From his appearance, he shared about sixty percent of similarity with Bernard. Along with the crown above his head, symbolizing the status of a 'Crown Prince,' the identity of this blonde man was self-evident. He was the Crown Prince of the Snow Night Empire, Bernard's elder brother,

Snow empires pride Xue Tianao.

Upon seeing this historically outstanding royal member, Bernard's heart not only felt no joy but also erupted with an unprecedented sense of trembling.

Anxiously glancing at Xue Tianao? golden sword, Bernard shakily said,

"Your, your Highness? What, what are you doing?"

In response to Bernard's words, Xue Tianao? just smiled faintly and asked mockingly:

"What do think, my little brother?"

"What, what do you mean?"

"While I was away negotiating with the Scarlet Lotus Empire, you took advantage of my absence and took two magical fission bombs. Did you want to sabotage the relationship between me and the Asumos church? Even, to kill the Saintess? Do you think you can keep these things from me now?"

Xue Tianao? said coldly, the murderous intent in his eyes slowly overflowing at this moment,

Causing Bernard to tremble uncontrollably,

"What, what will you do to me "

"What I want to do hmmm? I've warned you about the consequences of betraying me and attacking my woman, my foolish little brother."

"Kill me? Don't joke around! Father won't, won't allow it! And, your woman?! Don't daydream! She's never been...?!!"

However,

Before Bernard could finish his sentence, the golden sword slashed across his neck.

Xue Tianao?! You!...

In an instant,

Blood splashed everywhere, Bernard's horrified and disbelieving head rolled onto the grass, and his consciousness suddenly plunged into boundless darkness...

Sheathing the golden sword,

Snow Pride's heart remained unfazed as if what he had killed was not his half-brother, but a worthless pig...

Looking at Bernard's headless corpse, Snow Pride mocked with a smile,

"Heh. You're actually right, my little brother. The Chosen One is indeed not my woman…. yet."

But,

That's just a matter of time,

After all, that girl is destined to be mine...
