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

Chapter 16: Chapter 16:

The original form of the two sisters, Liyu and Limo, wasn't human, but rather a spirit beasts that transformed into abyss demons.

Unlike other demon kings who were thrown into Ancita continent to search for information about the protagonist group, these two children mostly stayed in Winter Forest.

Even though they learned transformation magic, their lives were not much different from ordinary abyssal demons.

Since these two children could transform into human form, Yumo selfishly hoped that they could give up their daily routine of eating raw meat and blood and learn human habits instead.

However, the reactions of the two sisters to Yumo's proposal were completely opposite.

Limo still longed for wild animal life and usually maintained her giant wolf form.

She liked to eat live prey and was not interested in the cooked food that Yumo suggested, often making Yumo very frustrated.

She could be considered a headache-inducing child.

However, compared to her sister, Liyu was much more obedient.

She worked hard to learn human life skills, including etiquette, language, and related knowledge. She mostly maintained the appearance of a little girl and even tried to avoid transforming into her original form to prevent damage to her few fury clothes.

Recently, she was even learning how to cook food.

However, based on Limo's reaction after each meal, her cooking skills still needed improvement...

Unfortunately, Yumo did not have a physical body, otherwise, she would have been able to taste her daughter's cooking and teach her some cooking skills.

After all, when he was in high school, he often cooked by himself when his parents were not at home.

But regardless,

Effort in trying is worth encouraging.

Thinking of this, Yumo's expression toward Liyu became more satisfied.

In contrast,

Yumo's gaze toward Limo became somewhat disdainful, which directly led to the latter transforming into a husky and starting a destructive activity in the Temple...

--

After being hit hard by Yumo's words, the 'Husky'(aka Limo) finally stopped messing around.

After sometime, the quiet Limo finally transformed into her human form and put on her tattered leather coat.

Then, the wolf girl covered her swollen forehead and walked to the door of the main hall with a look of grievance, gently touching the unconscious humans on the ground with a branch.

"Well, Mother, how do you plan to deal with these things? Are you going to use them for experiments?"

However, before Yumo could answer, her little sister disdainfully looked at her and spoke.

"Only ordinary people with no talent will be used for experiments by Mother. Young people with good talent like these, who have not done anything wrong, will be entrusted to sister Youlan or Xiao to cultivate. Sis you have been with Mom for so many years, can't you even understand this?"

"Wuwu~~"

Limo pouted and complained, looking at her sister with a resentful expression.

Then she turned her head and said arrogantly, "Humph! I, I, I just deliberately asked to test you!"

"Yes, yes, sure....." Liyu didn't want to dwell on this irrelevant issue with her sister and walked up slowly, carefully examining these unconscious young people.

A subtle touch of playfulness began to emerge within the depths of her mesmerizing emerald eyes.

"Their physical body and soul power are better than the sacrificial offerings from last time, and almost all of them are handsome and beautiful, even the smaller ones are beauties."

As she spoke, Liyu turned to look at the bloody-red butterflies floating behind her,

"Mommy, speaking of which, didn't Xiao recently set up a small spy organization? These guys should be able to become good new forces as long as their brains are properly washed. Coincidentally, Sebastian also came to visit you today. He can take them back and hand them over to Xiao."

"??"

"Hmm?"

" Sebastian..!?"

Upon hearing the name of an acquaintance, Limo felt energized and bounced over to Liyu 's side, curious to ask, "Seba?! Did that guy come today?"

"Yeah, he's outside the barrier."

"Huh? Why isn't he coming in?"

Faced with her sister's question, Liyu pursed her lips and gave her a white-eyed look.

"Well, the reason is simple. The idiots from the Divine Punishment Sect were here before, right? He couldn't come in to visit, so he's waiting outside."

After speaking, Liyu respectfully looked toward the Bloody Butterflies and said, "Mom, can we let him in now?"

"Emm,"

Glancing at the young man lying unconscious on the ground and at Limo, who had just barely put on her clothes, several butterflies made of energy and willpower slowly flew toward the outside barrier.

"Sure, you can let him in now."

'Speaking of which, it's been a long time since I've seen that guy. Time really flies'

Without realizing it, Yumo felt like an old man and sighed inwardly.

At the same time, Yumo called a few Abyssal Demons to clean up the dozen or so cold bodies in the center of the Temple hall...

--

After some time, to the slightly shocked gazes of the two sisters, a white-haired middle-aged man with a graceful aura, dressed in a black butler's outfit, slowly climbed the steps and entered this ancient temple.

The newcomer was naturally Sebastian, who had once lived with Limo and Liyu in Demon Temple for a long time.

Looking at the two familiar figures in the Temple and the bloody butterflies full of invisible pressure, Sebastian respectfully half-knelt on the ground, raised his right hand to his left chest, and placed his left arm behind his back.

"Long time no see, Lady Yumo. Also, Lady Limo and Lady Liyu ."

In his respectful words, there lingered a glimmer of delight upon seeing his benefactor and old friends.

He was not an Abyssal Demon but a pure human.

"Huh??"

Upon seeing the white-haired middle-aged man, Limo couldn't help but exclaim in disbelief and jumped to Sebastian's side, grabbing his white hair with her delicate hands.

"You, how did you get so old? Your hair has turned white?"

"Lady Limo, I'm just an ordinary human. It's normal to get old after more than 80 years."

"Hmm? Is this considered normal?"

"yes."

"But why are you only at the Fifth Level? Have you not been practicing properly?" asked Liyu curiously.

"Well, I have been practicing, but I don't have a talent for this. After all, I'm just an ordinary person with average talent. I'm already satisfied to have reached Fifth Level with Lord Xiao's help," replied Sebastian with a smile.

He waved his hand and gradually shifted his gaze to the bloody red butterflies dancing in front of him.

At the same time, Yumo's words slowly entered Sebastian's mind.

"If you're willing to accept some of My Power, breaking through the Sixth Level won't be difficult."

"Thank you for your offer my lady. However, I don't think my body can handle Shadow energy. Besides, I still hope to live as a human," Sebastian replied gratefully.

"I see. Well, since you've made your decision, I will respect it," Yumo said.

"Thank you, Lady Yumo," Sebastian said, bowing his head in gratitude.

"In addition, you don't have to bow every time you see me."

"The relationship between superiors and subordinates must be respected," Sebastian said.

"You, why do you sound like an old-fashioned person even though you haven't seen me in over eighty years? Anyway, why did you suddenly come to Winter Forest? Is there something urgent?" asked Yumo.

"Yes."

Sebastian nodded, then looked solemnly at Yumo in front of him.

"My lady, we have some important information to report to you."

"Hmm? What is it?"

"Firstly, we seem to have found information about the 'Protagonists'"

"Huh??"

Upon hearing this, not only Yumo and Liyu, but even the usually carefree Limo couldn't help but focus their attention on Sebastian

"Wait, did you say you found WHO!?"

---------------------

In the Red Leaf Empire, at the headquarters of the Asumos Church,

Asumos Church worships the great goddess who saved the world and brought about a new order to the world.

Asumos means salvation and creation in the ancient language. The name of the church is also to commemorate the great goddess.

As the most powerful religious force on Ancita Continent, the interior of Asumos Church headquarters in the capital was naturally luxurious.

In the spacious and bright hall, dozens of stone pillars with golden patterns and inlaid with colorful gemstones stood tall.

Countless exquisite murals and exquisite religious artworks lined the interior of the hall.

In the depths of the hall, there was a 30-meter-tall goddess statue that was as magnificent as a miracle. It was made of platinum diamonds and shone with a dazzling golden light when the sunlight shone on it through the glass dome.

Such a miraculous sight would always make people feel awe-inspiring.

At this moment, below the goddess statue, an elegant old man in a platinum robe was praying to the statue. After he finished praying, he slowly stood up and turned his head to look at the man who was kneeling at the front of the hall.

The kneeling man was especially handsome, with beautiful golden long hair that made him look very sunny and dashing.

He wore a silver armor, a holy steel longsword with demon-repellent power at his waist, and a white robe, and on top of the robe were runes resembling wings, which were outlined with rare golden silk threads.

This man's name was Pix, A Swordman at 7th Level, and also one of the ten Apostles of Earth aka Earth's hero of the Asumos Church.

He had once killed hundreds of abyssal demons and was highly respected by the people.

And this man was kneeling quietly on the ground, waiting for the old man's instructions.

After some time, the white-haired old man walked solemnly to Pix and spoke with an unquestionable tone:

"Pix Rata, the eighth Apostle, I order your team to go to the eastern part of Winter Forest along the T3 route to investigate and explore the internal division of the abyssal demon. According to ancient records, the Demon Temple is located in the eastern region. If you have the chance, you can try to explore it"

"I obey your holiness ."

"Also, this is a map of the known distribution of the abyssal demons, which can help you reduce unnecessary conflicts. Remember, do not make too much noise. The Snow Night Empire in the east is not very friendly toward us."

Saying that the white-haired old man took out a scroll from his spatial ring and handed it to Pix.

Picking up the scroll, Pix solemnly bowed his head and said with great respect.

"Understoodd, archbishop Nick"

...

...

After a while, Pix, who had finished meeting with Archbishop, left the main hall of the holy city under the guidance of a maid. He then delivered the Archbishop's instructions to his teammates.

Upon hearing Pix's words, his team members' faces immediately showed unease.

One petite brown-haired girl walked up to Pix and nervously tugged at the captain's sleeve.

"Captain, venturing deep into the east? are they serious? Aren't we usually just exploring the outskirts? With our strength, if we go deeper into the east, we may encounter a large number of abyss demons or even encounter a 'demon King', if that happened We would be doomed!"

"Yeah, Captain, isn't this mission beyond our capabilities?"

"Is Archbishop out of his mind!?"

his other team members also raised their doubts.

To this, Pix patted the brown-haired girl's head and comforted her,

"It's okay, don't worry. Our route was carefully selected to avoid major monsters gathering Places, without food for these demons, it will be unlikely to have many abyss demons around too. As for the demon kings, we don't need to worry too much. Based on observations over the past hundred years, there should only be three Demon King-class Existence active in the Winter Forest. Among them, 'Deathwing' has always been hovering over the west, while 'Nightmare' is in the middle of the lake area. We won't encounter them in the east. As for 'Snow Devourer,' although its whereabouts are unknown, as long as we are careful, we shouldn't run into them. Lily, you don't need to worry too much."

Pix encouraged the brown-haired girl by patting her shoulder.

With their captain's words, the team members felt a lot more at ease.

"Okay, we understand, Captain."

"Mm."

At this time, Beckham, the muscular man who had been silent for a long time, frowned unhappily.

"But, Captain? Wasn't this exploration mission originally meant for that woman, Bai Yanluo? Why was it suddenly assigned to us? Did that trash woman pass the buck again?!"

"No, I have been informed that Lady Bai Yanluo was sent to accompany the new girl."

"The new girl, is it the one with extremely high compatibility with holy power?"

"Yes, that's her."

Pix nodded slightly.

After receiving affirmation from their captain, the girl named Lily couldn't help but show an excited expression.

As one of the top ten brave heroes, Pix had the privilege of meeting that girl yesterday. According to the oracle passed down by Asumos religion, she is the Girl of Destiny, beautiful, kind, and filled with holy power, who will become the new Saintess and lead the people of this continent to resist the invasion of the abyssal demons, ultimately destroy Demon Temple and eliminate the source of all tragedies.

After seeing the silver-haired girl, Pix had to admit that she was the most perfect beauty he had ever seen, a masterpiece of the Creator, and exuded a strong aura of holiness. Although the girl appeared fragile, her excellent performance in the arena was shocking.

Even though she was just a civilian girl who had not received much training, her combat movements were so smooth.

Even though she only had the strength of a Low-stage fifth-Level, she beat up a sixth-Level knight commander.

Beautiful and powerful, this was Pix's first impression of the "Girl of Destiny." However, in the momentary eye contact with the girl's eyes, Pix inexplicably felt a chill down his spine.

In that moment, he read from the girl's eyes not the gentle warmth that a Saintess should have, but an indescribable, incredibly profound coldness...

It was not at all the warmth that a Saintess should have. For a moment, Pix even had the illusion of facing a Demon King, or an Abyssal Demon. Even now, he still had lingering fears.

At the same time, in the Winter Forest, inside Demon Temple, after listening to Sebastian's explanation, the Bloody Butterflies that embodied Yumo suddenly danced excitedly.

"So, you mean the girl taken away by Asumos church is the 'Heroine'?"

'Wow, after waiting for so many years, there is finally news of the protagonists!'
