Book 4: Chapter 152: Two Women One Show
âCornelia, is that you?â
A gentle and motherly voice rang out from the end of the corridor. Perhaps Lilith was too focused earlier during the fight, she failed to notice the womanâs footsteps until they were really close.
The same must have been true for Cornelia. Otherwise, Cornelia would not use that trick that moved the battlefield. But clearly, it was already too late.
A middle-aged woman emerged from the darkness and looked at the two girls in surprise. Her gentle gaze fell on Cornelia first. Just when she was about to say something, she suddenly noticed Lilith, who was looking at her curiously.
The woman was taken aback for a moment, before her beautiful eyes glinted like that of a starving wolfâs, which sent chills down Lilithâs spine. She took a few steps forward then started pinching and kneading Lilithâs adorable face.
âOh my, what a lovely little girl! How soft your cheeks are, theyâre as soft as a babyâs! Whatâs your name? Whereâs your mommy and daddy? How old are you? Why are you here? Are you lost? Do you want me to help you find mommy?â
The longer the woman pinched Lilithâs cheeks, the more she fell in love with her. In the next second, she grabbed and pulled Lilith right into her bosom. With her other free warm hand, she rubbed Lilithâs slim waist before skillfully moving under her clothesâ¦
âUmmmpphffâ¦â Getting her cheeks kneaded like dough upset Lilith, but being touched at her sensitive area by a stranger pissed her off even more. She wanted to retaliate, but realized that the woman did not have any unusual power in her.
An ordinary person?
But⦠Why would an ordinary person appear in such an extremely unusual place like this out of the blue? This itself was a highly unusual occurrence.
Lilith was about to struggle and free herself, she suddenly stopped. Her body was currently at its full power and she always sucked at controlling her strength. There was a possibility that this woman might end up with more than a dozen bones if Lilith was not careful enough.
And Lilith was never the type of person who would hurt the innocent. Without much choice, she could only allow the woman to do as she pleased.
It was definitely not because she was enjoying the sensation of having her face buried in those soft mounds, heheâ¦
What Lilith did not notice was the moment she restrained her power, the hidden killing intent deep in Corneliaâs eyes instantly dissipated too.
âOh, Iâm so sorry. I canât control myself whenever I see something adorable.â The woman finally realized that she had lost her composure, so she released Lilith and bowed apologetically.
What a gentle person she wasâ¦
âItâs okay.â Lilith rubbed her nose. She could still smell the fragrance on the woman. With an unsatis⦠understanding look on her face, she nodded. âI understand, everyone has things that they fancy.â
As soon as she lifted her head, she noticed her surroundings had changed. She looked around and realized that the mess caused by their battle earlier had disappeared. When did that happen?
Lilith raised an eyebrow as her keen senses picked an abnormal fluctuation in space.
Was this⦠an illusion?
However, it was an extremely low level illusory spell that could easily be broken. Aside from those who were not martial practitioners, no one would fall for such a petty trick. What was Cornelia thinking when she used such a low level spell like this?
Wait⦠Ordinary person?
âAh, Iâm so glad you are not upset, little girl!â
The woman patted Lilithâs head with rosy cheeks, then clapped. âAre you Corneliaâs friend?â
âFriend?â
Just when Lilith was about to reply, a petite figure brushed past her and threw herself into the womanâs arms.
Lilithâs eyes nearly popped out of their sockets.
The person who threw herself into the womanâs arms was none other than Cornelia, the enemy whom Lilith had fought countless times.
Cornelia looked almost like another person. She wore an innocent childish smile on her face, clinging to the woman like a sloth and rubbing her pretty face in her chest. With a sweet and doll-like voice, she asked, âWhy are you here, mommy?â
âI heard some strange noises and got worried about our dear little Cornelia, of course.â
The gentle-looking woman ran her fingers through Corneliaâs long white hair. There was concern in her eyes as she asked, âI heard a loud noise coming from here just now. Did something happen?â
âNothing~ Nothing happened here.â
âReally?â
âOf course!â Cornelia seemed upset by the question. She jumped off from the woman then placed her hands on hips. âI canât believe you donât trust me, mommy! Corneliaâs getting mad,â she huffed.
âOf course mommy believes youâ¦!â
The woman hurriedly bent down and gathered Cornelia into her arms. She rubbed her face against Corneliaâs body. âOur Cornelia is the most honest girl. Why would she lie to mommy? Mommy only asked because she is worried. Forgive me, please? My mooooost adorable Cornelia~ân/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
âNo way. I wasnât the first one you hugged when you came here. You hugged a stranger instead. Iâm not forgiving you, mommy!â Cornelia pouted and turned her head to the side, like a child throwing a tantrum. Since the woman knew all her weak spots, it did not take long for her to give in. âPFFFT⦠HAHA⦠Stopâ¦! Donât rub me there⦠Mommy! Iâm ticklish thereâ¦! HAHAâ¦!â
âIs that so? But my Cornelia refuses to forgive mommy. So mommy can only resort to this method to make you forgive me.â
âUghhh⦠HAHA⦠I forgive you, mommy! â¦D-Donât touch me there⦠Cornelia wonât be able to stand itâ¦â
âAre you still angry then?â
âIâm noooot, let me gooooo⦠HAHAâ¦â
Cornelia was nearly out of breath as she struggled weakly. Her cheeks were flushed and she could not even speak clearly. It was only then the woman removed her demonic claws from Corneliaâs body in satisfaction.
At this moment, Lilith was watching from the sideline with nothing but a dumbfounded look on her face⦠She was even starting to doubt reality.
Wait⦠Was this girl who was acting all child-like in her motherâs arms the same monster girl who kept calling everyone worm?
This was a totally different person!
Could it be that Cornelia did not cast an illusory spell, but a powerful mental illusory spell that could trap her in an illusion without realizing it?
Just when Lilith was on the verge of calling out to her ancestor, another voice rang out in her mind.
[ Iâll let you guys go this time. You may leave now. ]
Huh?
Lilith tilted her head, looking at the girl who was babbling and crying out adorably like a harmless kitten. But Lilith did not miss the look Cornelia gave her the moment she pounced on her mother.
[ What? Iâm letting you guys go out of kindness. You wish to stay behind and get killed? Let me warn you, this is your last chance. Go and enjoy your remaining days. The next time we meet will be the end of your life. ]
âErmmmâ¦â Lilith rubbed her chin thoughtfully, before her lips curled into a crazy smile.
[ What are you standing around for? You think I canât kill you right now, eehhhhhh?? ]
Corneliaâs voice in Lilithâs mind suddenly faltered because Lilith actually ignored her warning. Instead, the latterâs eyes lit up as she approached them with a shameless smile.
She stopped right in front of the woman, then pumped her hands and asked in an equally adorable loli voice, âAre you Corneliaâs mommy?â
âHm?â The woman was slightly taken aback by Lilithâs initiative to talk to her, but a smile immediately bloomed across her face right after that. âThatâs right, Iâm Corneliaâs mommy.â
âAmazing! Cornelia always told me she has a kind, beautiful and gentle mommy! Itâs a pleasure to finally meet you.â
Cornelia: ?????
âReally?â The woman grabbed Lilithâs hand with sparkly eyes. âDid Cornelia really say that?â
âUh-huh! Cornelia always mentioned about you to me⦠Oh rightâ¦â
Lilith smacked her forehead and chided herself. âI forgot to introduce myself. How rude of me.â
She held her skirt and curtsied to the woman like a noble lady. âMy name is Lilith. I am Corneliaâs⦠best~ friend~â
Cornelia: !!!!
âSo youâre really her friend! Iâm so happy! This is the first time Cornelia brought a friend home!â The woman covered her mouth as her eyes reddened slightly with tears. âShe has never brought a friend home before, I was so worried that she actually didnât have any.â
âDonât worry, auntieâ¦â
Lilith stuck her chest out, then hooked an arm around Cornelia who had a dumbfounded look on her face. Like best friends, they bumped the side of their heads together.
âCorneliaâs a nice person! Thereâs no way she doesnât have any friends.â Lilith slapped her chest, then stretched a hand out to the woman. âThereâs actually five of us, not including me, who are visiting Cornelia today!â she announced seriously.
âReally? Oh my, why didnât you say so earlier? I must go make preparations!â
âDonât worry about it. I hope our unannounced visit wonât cause you too much trouble, maâam.â
âOf course not.â The woman placed her hands on hips and pretended to be serious. âWhy are Corneliaâs friends being so formal with me? Iâm gonna be angry.â
âWow, as expected of Corneliaâs mommy, youâre really a great mommy!â
Lilith threw herself into the womanâs arms and started rubbing her face on the womanâs ample bosom. âWill Corneliaâs great mommy give me a hug, pweaaase?â
âOf course! It is a pleasure to get such a request from a cute child.â
âYay, mommyâs the best!â
Lilith sank herself right into the rough sea and swam in those blue waves without any restraints.
Cornelia had a rather unpleasant look on her face.
This b̲a̲s̲t̲a̲r̲d̲⦠sure knows how to put on an act.
The anger in her heart made Cornelia want to so badly burn Lilith into ashes. Unfortunately, her hands were tied. When she was in her motherâs presence, she had no choice but to maintain her adorable image.
Goddammitâ¦
It was at this time, Lilith suddenly returned to shore from her surfing. She grabbed the womanâs hands then announced proudly, âListen to me, maâam. Among all Corneliaâs friends, Iâm her bestest friend!â
âAh, is that so?â The woman pretended to be surprised and chuckled.
âOf course! I am closest with Cornelia. She is always so clingy to me!â
Lilith then suddenly turned around and hugged Cornelia.
âLook maâam, we are close to the point that we can fondle each otherâs boo~bies!â
Cornelia: ??!!
After saying that with an innocent face, Lilith made a grab at Corneliaâs ample bosom without any hesitation. There was no question that the size of Corneliaâs bosom was inherited from her motherâs.
