NOVPUB1/5
She was not that foolish. After some careful thought, she felt that the actions of the Felder family were suspicious. It's one thing to just pick a wife, but they specifically chose Mina and even brought her back to the Sky Nation?
Isn't that a deliberate attempt to provoke her?
Associating Lena's previous intentions, Yumo couldn't help but connect the mastermind of this matter to Lena.
"Trying to use Mina and my mom and dad... such a despicable person."
The black-haired girl clenched her fists and gritted her teeth in a low voice.
Through her previous conversations with Mengxi and Sato, and the files she obtained from Guano, Yumo clearly understood what kind of place the Sky Nation is. It is the center of the Source Star Universe where the World Tree resides. The Sky Nation is one of the forty-eight sub-worlds within the Source Star Universe.
Over there, unlike earth which is a remote area near the outer region, it's the core of the Source Star Universe where the main forces of the Alliance are located.
In a typical world, a rare Lv 9 powerhouse would be almost unheard of, but near the World Tree, there are as many as ten Lv 9 powerhouses.
Additionally, the Sky Nation is directly under the jurisdiction of the Guiding Saint, making it the core of the core.
Thus, the level of defense there compared to the few ability users on earth could be described as vastly different.
It would be almost impossible for her to covertly bring Mina and her parents back while dealing with the Felder family. Once she uses her Shadow Power, she might immediately draw the attention of other Lv 9 powerhouses. If she were to fight them, even if she could win and make a getaway, she would be completely viewed as an enemy from the outer region.
At that time, she and her children would only be able to go to the outer region.
This is undoubtedly what Lena wants.
Once she makes a move, she would fall right into Lena's plan.
However, not acting and doing nothing?
Allowing her little sister to be bullied and her parents to be taken away?
This is also something that Yumo cannot tolerate.
At this moment, Yumo suddenly realizes a very serious issue.
That is, although she knows Lena's plan, it seems she might still need to act according to Lena's intentions?
For a moment, Yumo felt a deep sense of frustration.
"It's really annoying..."
Yumo murmured in distress.
At the same time, A strong sense of guilt began to spread in her heart.
She seemed to assume that earth was a place of peace, and never imagined that someone would specifically target her parents and sister. If she had been more vigilant earlier, she might have been able to stop the fools in the Felder family ahead of time. Now, she wouldn't be in such a passive position.
Ultimately, I am still a bit naive...
Yumo smiled with self-mockery.
Her mind was filled with thoughts on how to manage the current situation.
She just slumped silently on the sofa, exuding a dark aura that symbolized her worries.
Seeing their mother so dejected, Liyu and Limo looked at each other, both seeing the same discomfort in each other's eyes.
At that moment, A soft and melodious, holy-infused voice suddenly pierced through the silent room.
– "If Sister has a worry, why not directly tell us? Let us all think of a solution together?"–
Hmm?
Upon hearing this, Yumo, who had been silent, slowly turned her face and gazed towards the windowsill.
"You've returned…"
There appeared a stunning silver-haired girl wearing a black dress with a single ponytail who entered the room from outside the windowsill, surrounded by a silver holy light. It was Mengxi, who had just handled the incident of Shadow Power diffusion.
Seeing Yumo looking worried and the unusually quiet living room, Mengxi immediately sensed that something was off.
She asked Yumo with a concerned tone:
"What happened exactly?"
Hearing this, Yumo slowly sat up on the sofa. After taking a deep breath, she began slowly speaking:
"Actually, earlier at the theme park…"
…
Considering that she might not be the brightest and that she couldn't provide useful suggestions either, the self-aware Yumo shared what she knew with Mengxi and her daughters. Among them, apart from Limo, everyone is probably smarter than her, especially Mengxi who has a better understanding of the world outside of the Ancita continent compared to her and her daughters. It's likely that she could offer some helpful advice.
Therefore,
Instead of keeping everything to herself like before, Yumo shared everything with Mengxi and her daughters, including the files from the National Special Affairs Bureau and her conversation with Lena.
As the discussion went on, Except for Limo, whose mind was always carefree and who couldn't even understand the conversation, everyone else's expression gradually became serious.
By the time Yumo had finished speaking, The hall once again fell into a brief silence.
After a while, Mengxi sighed deeply,
"If they were taken to the Sky Nation... yes, it's not easy to act in the there. There are too many powerful people there. It's impossible to completely hide Shadow Power."
"Indeed."
Yumo nodded in agreement.
"Is there any possibility that with your identity, you can help get Mina and my mom and dad out of there?"
"It probably won't work. Lena is not stupid, she knows that I would help you. Therefore, the Felder family probably has a way to deal with me as well. To be honest, if they use your parents to force Mina to admit that she is a willing participant, I won't be able to make them release her through regular channels."
"What about using irregular channels?"
"That is quite difficult as well."
Mengxi gave a bitter smile and said,
"The sage of the Sword Spirit Clan, whom you mentioned before, now serves almost as a honorary elder for the Felder family and stays in their main residence all day every day. With that person and the Sword Spirit Clan backing them, irregular means might not work either. To pressure the Sword Spirit Clan and make them release people, my status is not powerful enough... unless… we ask my mother…"
"Maya."
"Yes, but if we ask for my mother's help…"
Mengxi pursed her lips, her light purple eyes filled with worry.
Yumo knew what Mengxi was implying:
"She will probably make many demands to restrict me. She and Lena are the same, both always want to make me their tool. Asking for her help would just be another way of being used."
"Yeah."
…
"It's really—everyone treats mother as a tool."
The most dissatisfied one listening to the conversation between Yumo and Mengxi was Liyu. The little girl was frowning deeply, and her emerald eyes were full of discontent.
"This is too much!!"
After all, When she thought that their most beloved mother is constantly being calculated against by others, and that they themselves are all part of someone else's chessboard, Liyu couldn't control the displeasure in her heart. Unconsciously, she even squeezed the little white wolf in her arms until she turned purple.
Limo: "Awwuwuwu!!" (I am dying, dyinnnnnng! You're holding too tightly, Liyu!!)
After a round of inner turmoil, the anger-filled Liyu looked at Yumo seriously.
"Mother!! You are too kind, that's why you're always being schemed against by those people! You should be more ruthless!!! That way they wouldn't dare bully you! Maybe you could just flip the table and take them all down!"
Liyu said in a full rage.
Clearly, she was speaking out of anger.
However, after hearing her words, Yumo suddenly raised her eyebrows.
It felt like a sudden realization.
"Hmm?"
"Seems like that could be an option, too?"
