I'm Not the Young Lady's Dream Girl - [Vol. 1] Chapter 44

[Vol. 1] Chapter 44: The True Face Behind the Mask

 

The environment within the ruins underwent a tremendous change. The ground began to crack, houses within the city collapsed, and the vitality of the plants seemed to disappear, gradually wilting away.

 

The supernatural beasts seemed to sense some danger, continuously roaring as they began to scatter, the space within the entire ruins becoming unstable, as if it could collapse at any moment.

 

The members of the Séance Society convulsed, showing expressions of pain, continuously screaming as their bodies began to transform into eerie eyeballs, flying towards the dark purple beam of light in the sky.

 

In the blink of an eye, thousands of eyeballs flew down from the beam of light, and for a moment, the color of the ruins turned black and white, as a black halo engulfed the entire site.

 

Fortunately, the Shadow Guards had already left with the faculty and students of the Huihuang Academy. Otherwise, some weaker students, faced with such a powerful impact, would probably have died on the spot.

 

Without the blessing of S-level strength and divine power, staying here would only make them sacrifices to the gods.

 

The dark purple beam of light gradually disappeared, but it seemed that some terrifying entity had descended. Due to the unstable vibrations, most of the palace buildings collapsed, surrounded by smoke, they couldn’t see clearly whether the deity had truly arrived.

 

Miss Black Cat vaguely sensed something, she picked up her spear and threw it towards the figure in the smoke. But when the spear entered the smoke, there was no more movement, as if nothing had happened.

 

Miss Black Cat looked at the smoke, could it be that she was mistaken? Was there nothing in the smoke, and in fact, Zach’s ritual of descending had failed?

 

“Was it you who just attacked me? Insignificant ant.”

 

A voice came from behind Miss Black Cat, and she suddenly felt the gap between herself and it. The powerful aura made it hard for her to breathe, was she going to die?

 

Miss Black Cat thought to herself, as Yinyue assessed the situation, swiftly grasping the Sword of Dawn and unleashing a sharp sword energy.

 

As the sword energy surged towards Him, He dodged for the first time. He could feel the divine power imbued in the sword. With His current body, He could not withstand it head-on, otherwise, it would further destabilize His physical form.

 

Miss Black Cat fainted, and Yinyue rushed to catch her.

 

“Miss Black Cat, come on, snap out of it,” Yinyue shook Miss Black Cat’s body continuously, but to no avail.

 

“It’s useless, she has plunged into endless fear, this is the price to pay for attacking the God.”

 

His voice echoed in the smoke, or rather, more accurately, it echoed in their minds.

 

“Whatever nonsense God being you are, I’ll smash you all to pieces!”

 

Yinya wielded her giant hammer, pouring energy into it continuously, boosting its power to the maximum, making the hammer instantly enormous.

 

Under this force, the surrounding space distorted slightly. Yinya rushed towards Him at her fastest speed.

 

He didn’t dodge at all, and Yinya successfully hit her target head-on. This was Yinya’s most powerful move. Her intuition told her that this enemy was very strong, stronger than any enemy she had encountered before. She had to use her strongest move to have a chance of defeating Him.

 

In an instant, the powerful impact completely demolished the palace, once glorious, now reduced to ruins.

 

Yinyue formed a shield with her abilities, successfully blocking the impact. Looking at the girl in her arms, Yinyue tried to wake Miss Black Cat up, but because of the influence of the God of Fear, Miss Black Cat’s eyes were lifeless, her body trembling uncontrollably, and Yinyue couldn’t wake her up.

 

The shockwave dispersed the surrounding smoke. Yinya widened her eyes, her strongest move blocked by the opponent, who had only used a finger.

 

Her strongest strike only left a crack on the opponent’s finger. Yinya felt for the first time how weak she was, or how powerful the enemy was.

 

Yinyue also looked at the scene in front of her in astonishment. Her mother’s ultimate move was effortlessly blocked.

 

At this moment, Yinyue and the others also saw His appearance clearly. He had a dark purple skin tone, and although He was humanoid, His body was very strange. Besides a huge blood-red eye, there were no other facial features.

 

He looked at Yinya, the insignificant ant before him, and in an instant, he launched an attack at her with incredible speed.

 

Yinya’s intuition told her that if she didn’t defend herself, she might die. She tried to block the attack with her giant hammer, but under the immense power, the hammer shattered, and Yinya was sent flying.

 

Things happened so suddenly that no one had time to react before Yinya was sent flying.

Yinya, an S-level ability user, was like a child in front of Him.

 

“Hahaha, my Lord, this is wonderful, I finally…”

 

Zach hadn’t finished expressing his enthusiasm to the deity when he felt the “enthusiasm” of the Lord God. He kicked Zach away, and Zach fell heavily to the ground, coughing up blood.

 

“Useless, I gave you so much time, yet you let me descend in such a damaged state. I’ll deal with you later.”

 

Now His shell was very unstable, and He looked at the two girls before Him.

 

Fortunately, there were still two excellent sacrifices that could help Him stabilize this shell temporarily.

 

He slowly walked towards Yinyue and Miss Black Cat, each step accompanied by the power shaking the earth and invisible fear.

 

Yinyue wanted to escape from this monster, but although she thought so in her mind, her body couldn’t move. The seed of fear had taken root in her heart. In His eyes, they were like lambs waiting to be slaughtered.

 

He summoned thousands of tentacles, intending to suspend them in the air, ready to enjoy His sacrifices.

 

But before that, there was a traitor to deal with. A beam of light flashed, destroying the tentacles and coming towards Him.

 

“Boring tricks,” He sneered.

 

He emitted swirling tendrils of black mist to devour the light. He looked at the girl before Him, her presence still so detestable to Him.

 

“Although I know this is your domain, I didn’t expect you to still have remnants of yourself, who have already returned to the void, to continue to appear in this world in any way.”

 

“You’re no different, Dark Pupil, although you’ve been expelled and entered into sleep, you still want to descend upon the world,” the girl said.

 

After a brief moment of reminiscence, both sides stopped the small talk and began to fight using their divine powers.

 

On the other side, Yinyue didn’t know what happened, only that after a flash of light, she, Miss Black Cat, and her mother were transported outside the city. However, due to the instability of space, the exit had been sealed shut, and they couldn’t escape.

 

Yinyue looked at Miss Black Cat and her mother lying on the ground. She didn’t know what to do, especially for Miss Black Cat. Her situation was dire.

 

Her mother was at least physically injured, and Yinyue could use her abilities to heal her.

 

But Miss Black Cat was different. Her body was intact, but she was mentally affected by the power of the divine. Yinyue’s abilities were useless for her.

 

“Sis…Sister…Yue…Yueyue…, don’t…leave,” Miss Black Cat suddenly spoke.

 

Although her voice was very soft, Yinyue heard it.

 

“Wait, what did she just say? Sister Yueyue, isn’t that what Miss has been calling me? Could it be that Miss Black Cat really is…”

 

Yinyue reached out to her, took off her mask, revealing her true face.

 

Sure enough, it was her young lady, she has been…

 

Yinyue looked at Miss Black Cat’s pained expression, feeling uncomfortable inside. She still hadn’t kept that promise. It was really disappointing.

 

Just as Yinyue was regretting, a glowing butterfly appeared again, landing on Yinyue’s hand.

 

“It’s you, can you help her?” Yinyue pleaded with the butterfly.

 

Although asking for help from a glowing butterfly seemed absurd, Yinyue’s intuition told her that this butterfly could definitely help her.

 

The butterfly understood Yinyue’s words, flapping its wings. Its light became brighter and brighter until finally, white light engulfed everything, and Yinyue collapsed on the ground.

 

At this moment, Miss Black Cat’s spatial ability ring emitted light, and a cat plushie emerged from it, attacking the butterfly. The butterfly flapped its wings, dodging the attack.

 

Yeming was very angry.

What did this butterfly do, and why did Mom suddenly collapse on the ground? The butterfly ignored Yeming and flew towards the sky, eventually disappearing into the air.

 

Yeming transformed into human form, looking at Yinyue and Yuluo on the ground.

She felt heartbroken.

How could this happen? In the supernatural space, Yeming had wanted to come out to help, but her Dad had refused her, leaving her powerless inside.

 

It wasn’t until Yuluo lost control of the spatial ring under the influence of the divine power that Yeming had a chance to forcibly break through the blockade and come out.

 

Yeming noticed Yinya nearby. She approached her and looked at the little girl of the same height. She was… Yeming remembered, her Mom seemed to call the loli in front of her “mother”.

 

At this moment, Yinya suddenly opened her eyes and pushed the unprepared Yeming to the ground.

 

“Who are you, and what do you want with me?”

 

…………

 

Yinyue opened her eyes and found herself back in the Haiyue City.

 

Looking at the familiar surroundings, she wondered what had happened.

 

Did she time travel? That couldn’t be, this wasn’t a novel. How could she just time travel like that?

 

Yinyue pinched her cheek.

Ouch! It hurt! It seemed like she wasn’t dreaming. Could it be that she really had time traveled?

 

Yinyue sprang into action. The first thing to do was to find her young lady. Relying on her familiar memories, she traversed through streets after streets until she finally arrived at the villa where Yuluo lived.

 

Yinyue hid carefully. She still wasn’t clear about the current situation and couldn’t act rashly. She needed to observe first.

 

Yinyue climbed onto a tree and activated her invisibility, ensuring she wouldn’t be detected. Through the window, she saw Yuluo’s figure.

 

At that moment, Yuluo was playing the piano in the piano room when suddenly, she played a wrong note.

 

“Stop, stop, stop! How can you play the piano like this? It’s absolutely terrible! Don’t tell anyone outside. Your piano skills were taught by me.” A woman with glasses shouted at Yuluo.

 

“I’m sorry, teacher, I… I didn’t mean to,” Yuluo said softly.

 

Yuluo now seemed to have reverted to her former self, devoid of any current confidence.

 

“I don’t want to hear your excuses. Practice on your own from now on,” the woman said as she walked out, leaving Yuluo alone in the piano room.

 

The reason why Yuluo played the wrong notes was actually because the sheet music given to her by the woman was flawed, intended to humiliate Yuluo and satisfy Xiao Xuan.

 

Yuluo knew there was a problem with the sheet music, but she didn’t dare to say anything. She didn’t have the courage.

 

Before encountering her light, Yuluo had always been like this—introverted, afraid to make friends, lacking the courage to speak up or argue with others.

 

Yuluo was like a puppet. Whatever others told her to do, she would do. Even if she wanted to do something else, she didn’t have the ability. She was trapped in a cage, nothing but a canary without dreams.

 

Yuluo looked out the window, wishing she had someone to accompany her. Unfortunately, that was impossible.

 

Yuluo sighed, putting an end to her daydreaming. She locked the door, then returned to her seat, raised her hands, and continued to play the piano. Once again, the room was filled with the melodious sound of the piano.

 

After a while, the piano abruptly stopped. Yuluo paused because this was where she had played the wrong notes earlier. She didn’t know what to do next, which made her start to feel anxious.

 

Just then, a hand as graceful as a white lotus grabbed Yuluo’s right hand. “This part should be played like this.”

 

With that, Yinyue controlled Yuluo’s right hand and started playing. Yuluo followed the rhythm, and with their collaboration, the piano piece finally ended perfectly.

 

“Th-thank you…… No, wait, how did you get in? Who are you, and what brings you here?” Yuluo suddenly realized.

 

“Me? Allow me to introduce myself. I’m Yinyue, your exclusive maid,” Yinyue uttered, her voice carrying a tender warmth as she gracefully bowed before her.
