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

Vol 2. Chapter 24: Doubts 18+

Sigh,

In truth, in a certain sense, Yumo was rather reluctant to part with the silver-haired girl before her. If Mengxi recovered her soul power, then she would forget everything that had happened during this period and return to being the knight girl she originally was.

Then,

the childish version of the heroine standing before Yumo now would cease to exist, and all the memories they had made together would vanish like smoke.

Thinking about that,

Yumo could not help but feel a trace of sadness. Although she would still frequently interact with Mengxi until the protagonist group eventually destroyed her, this childlike heroine would probably be gone from her life forever. It was precisely because of this that, when little Mengxi requested that they bathe together, Yumo did not refuse...

Besides,

when she had rushed to save Mengxi earlier, she had acted a little too hastily and smashed the Steel Earth Dragon into pieces directly, splattering herself with nauseating blood and gore. Although she had cleaned herself somewhat, the sticky sensation in her hair and the heavy stench clinging to her body still left Yumo rather displeased.

Originally, she had planned to wait until Mengxi finished taking her medicine before bathing alone.

But now,

there was no need for that.

She might as well satisfy the girl's request and soak together with her for a while...

Besides, the bath wasn't small. It could easily accommodate two people.

"Alright, we'll wash together then. But afterward, you have to take your medicine obediently, understand?"

Yumo looked solemnly at the somewhat silly-looking silver-haired girl.

In response, Mengxi nodded excitedly without pause and even happily slapped the water surface!

"Mhm! Mhm!"

"Sigh, you little troublemaker..."

Looking at the silver-haired girl who was making such a fuss and insisting on bathing with her, Yumo could not help revealing a helpless smile that clearly said, "Really, I can't do anything about you."

Afterward,

under Mengxi's gaze, Miss Yumo slowly raised her hands and tied up her beautiful black hair that faded into crimson at the ends. She gradually loosened her collar and removed the black gauze outer garment stained with the Steel Earth Dragon's blood.

Actually, Yumo's clothing was extremely thin.

The biting winds of the Great Winter Forest were no different from a gentle breeze brushing her face.

There was no need for her to wrap herself up like the adventurers did. Clothes only needed to cover the body.

Therefore,

apart from the black gauze outer robe and the crude beast-skin underwear concealing a girl's private areas, Yumo wore nothing else.

And thus,

after removing the black gauze robe, Yumo's slender and graceful body, crystal-clear and flawless like exquisite jade, was completely revealed before Mengxi. Likewise, displayed before the silver-haired girl was the beast-skin underwear Yumo wore.

It had to be said,

such an alluring and beautiful body paired with such a crude piece of beast-skin underwear was truly a terrible waste and utterly ruined the scenery.

And,

after seeing this scene—

especially after noticing the beast-skin underwear—

an imperceptible strange emotion flashed through Mengxi's pale violet eyes.

That inexplicable gaze immediately caused Yumo, who had just removed the last thing preserving her modesty, to shudder all over. A mysterious chill suddenly crept through her body.

And when she turned around,

the silver-haired girl, leaning against the edge of the bath with both hands, was still blinking those moist pale violet eyes while staring at her with an innocent and expectant expression.

??

Huh?

W-Was that...

just my imagination?

After failing to find the source of that strange chill, Miss Yumo couldn't help but think that way. Although Mengxi behind her had been staring intently at her the entire time, Yumo didn't feel any discomfort. After all, the heroine in her current state was still innocent and pure. What strange thoughts could she possibly have?

Yumo herself didn't feel embarrassed either.

Right now, she felt no different from an older sister taking a bath together with her little sister. What was there to be shy about?

Thus,

Miss Yumo slowly walked over to the bath.

Seeing this, the silver-haired girl obediently moved aside to make room for her Sister Yumo. Taking Yumo's hand, she quickly pulled her into the bath.

"Really now, what's the rush~"

Yumo smiled somewhat indulgently.

Afterward, she slowly settled into the bath.

The silver-haired girl immediately revealed a beautiful smile sweet enough to melt anyone's heart. She affectionately threw herself into Yumo's embrace and rubbed against her cheek. The familiar jasmine fragrance instantly filled Yumo's senses. Such direct closeness still caused her face to flush slightly. Although she had long since become accustomed to Mengxi's body, this kind of intimate contact still made her somewhat embarrassed.

Even though Mengxi's mentality had regressed, some things hadn't changed at all~

Pursing her lips, Yumo gently pushed Mengxi away. If they kept sticking together like this, Yumo had the strange feeling that she wouldn't be able to keep herself composed. That brief touch alone had already sent an indescribable tingling sensation through her body.

"Just enjoy the bath properly. Stop fidgeting around."

Miss Yumo spoke helplessly.

However, this time, Sister Yumo's authority no longer seemed to work. After playfully sticking out her tongue, Mengxi launched another "counterattack." Fortunately, she was somewhat more restrained this time. She simply hugged Yumo's right arm and happily rested her head on Yumo's shoulder. Joy filled those light-purple eyes.

Seeing this, Yumo didn't say anything more.

As long as things didn't go too far, she chose to silently allow this level of closeness.

Toward this little sister who had become so dependent on her lately and loved staying close to her, Miss Yumo was truly helpless.

Still,

she never really resisted, always letting Mengxi cling to her.

Even now, Yumo still hadn't figured out why the Child of Destiny's body could absorb the Shadow of Silence Power. But one thing was undeniable: after absorbing it, Mengxi's soul power recovered faster and faster. Thus, in order to speed up the heroine's recovery, Yumo allowed Mengxi's body to unconsciously absorb the tiny amount of Shadow of Silence Power she released.

After thinking about it carefully,

Yumo had gradually come to terms with it.

Why exactly the heroine could use the power of the Abyss Demons wasn't all that important. Since the Shadow of Silence Power could strengthen the heroine, then that was a good thing! There was no need to dwell on it!

Emm,

the only troublesome thing was that,

in the future, she would probably need to help Mengxi conceal the fact that she could wield the Shadow of Silence Power. After all, in the eyes of the Asumos Church, that power was synonymous with evil. If word got out that the Child of Destiny could use it, countless suspicions would arise.

And in a Church that was already far from united, plenty of people would surely seize the opportunity to make an issue out of it.

Hehe.

'Looks like I just found myself even more work in the future.'

Yumo shook her head with a bitter smile.

Meanwhile, noticing the faint trace of worry on Yumo's face, Mengxi raised her head and blinked curiously.

"Sister Yumo, what's wrong?"

"Hm? Nothing, nothing. You don't need to worry."

Hearing that, Yumo hurriedly concealed the seriousness on her face and smiled as she patted Mengxi's head.

"Oh, alright~"

Mengxi obediently responded and rested her head back on Yumo's shoulder.

At the same time, the silver-haired girl's beautiful eyes noticed the beast-hide undergarment Yumo had tossed onto the floor nearby, and she innocently asked,

"Sister Yumo, why do you wear that kind of underwear?"

"Hm? That kind?"

"Yeah. Every time you help me change, the underwear you pick for me is always really cute and pretty. So why don't you wear those yourself, Sister Yumo?"

"Uh, well..."

Faced with Mengxi's question, Yumo awkwardly looked away.

"Ah, maybe... because I'm used to it =-=."

Wearing women's underwear still felt a little strange somehow,

Yumo couldn't help grumbling inwardly.

"Hm, used to it?"

"That's right. Don't ask so many questions..."

"Mhm, alright~"

Mengxi obediently nodded and no longer seemed concerned about the topic of underwear.

Just like that, she quietly leaned against Yumo's side, peacefully enjoying their time in the bath.

Only after a long while,

did the silent Mengxi speak again.

However,

this time, the words she asked left Yumo slightly stunned.

"Sister Yumo."

"Hm? What is it?"

"Why..."

"Why are you so good to me?"
