Chapter 231: It Turns Out They Were Being Followed
The next day.
After learning that Darkling Stalker and her companions had successfully defeated the villainous reincarnator, Lin Yu slept soundly.
Refreshed and full of energy in the morning, she received another piece of good news.
Lvzi and the others had returned home!
Upon hearing the news from Stealth Seven, Lin Yu hurried to the balcony without even washing up, peering into the distance.
Indeed, it was the three of them.
By the time she rushed barefoot from the castle’s second floor to the main entrance on the first floor, Lvzi’s group had already reached the castle grounds.
"Mom!"
"Mom!"
"Mom!"
"Welcome ba—"
Hearing their maternal addresses after so long, Lin Yu’s typically frosty voice betrayed a hint of emotion.
Before she could complete her greeting, the green-haired girl leaped into her embrace.
Or perhaps it was more accurate to say Lin Yu found herself being embraced?
"Ahhh~ So blissful~ Lvzi feels so blissful right now!"
Haa… haa…
As warm puffs of breath brushed against her chest, the pale-haired girl’s expression froze.
*Ugh… Still the same repulsive behavior. Like a pervert wrapped in a maiden’s skin…*
*But never mind… She fought valiantly this time—even died once.*
Lin Yu’s fingers tenderly combed through the green tresses, only to discover Lvzi had already fallen unconscious mid-embrace, that lecherous smile still plastered on her face.
*Some things never change…*
While stroking the silken hair, Lin Yu glanced at the other two.
"Come closer."
The women exchanged looks before obediently approaching.
Lin Yu repeated the head-patting gesture.
Army Lady remained statuesque under the touch, but Stealth One’s frame trembled faintly.
*Such sensitivity…*
"You’ve all worked hard."
"Not at all! Serving Mother in battle is our greatest joy!"
Overcome by prolonged separation, Army Lady seized Lin Yu’s pale hand and pressed it against her flushed cheek. Her liquid gaze burned into the white-haired woman, the intensity of her stare prompting slight discomfort.
Stealth One cast a fleeting glance her way before mirroring the gesture, tenderly caressing the girl’s hand against her own cheek with feather-light movements, as though handling fragile jade that might fracture under the slightest pressure.
…
So supple…
And deliciously warm, like kneading sun-kissed silk…
Though acutely aware of watching eyes during this intimate exchange, she found herself powerless to stop – the intoxicating softness beneath her fingertips demanded indulgence!
When her daughters still bore ant-like forms, their carapaces offered none of this pleasurable texture, only unyielding hardness.
Thus… Just a few moments more…
Yet as Lin Yu finally resolved to summon the trio back to the castle—
"Awooo!!"
A lupine cry shattered the stillness.
Though distant at first, the howl seemed to materialize beside them in an instant.
The familiar sound snapped the two silver-haired maidens from their tender reverie. In seamless synchronization, they pivoted to shield Lin Yu, battle-ready stances oriented toward the ominous sound.
"It’s that colossal wolf!"
"Mother and Lvzi stay behind us."
"Understood."
Giant wolf? The other reincarnator?
Lin Yu’s throat tightened. She jostled Lvzi fruitlessly before clutching the sleeping girl closer, gaze darting toward the disturbance. A shadow rippled through distant trees with alarming speed.
"It’s truly hunting us! How did it pinpoint our location?"
"…It’s been trailing us all along," Stealth One interjected suddenly.
"Maintaining extreme distance to evade detection."
The beast’s olfactory prowess dwarfed ordinary wolf monsters, enabling this stealthy pursuit…
They’d led the threat straight to their sanctuary.
Bitter self-reproach flooded Stealth One’s thoughts.
The wolf’s blistering speed shackled both guardians to Lin Yu’s side.
Meanwhile, Lin Yu orchestrated defenses – recalling Red Pupil from external hunts, summoning high-tier Ants patrolling the castle perimeter. A dozen Stealth Ants already lurked in surrounding shadows and her own silhouette.
A solitary foe approached.
This creature’s attributes paled before Luo Yong’s prime capabilities save for velocity. Between Army Lady’s "Magnification" and Stealth One’s prowess, victory seemed plausible.
Yet… Does it truly come for bloodshed?
From a distance, Lin Yu observed the colossal wolf disregarding the ant tribe’s activities around the castle, charging directly toward the fortress… no wait, was it coming straight for her?
When the distance closed further, with both Army Lady and Stealth One tensing visibly,
Lin Yu finally confirmed:
The giant wolf was indeed targeting her! Those piercing eyes were locked directly on her!
Yet… why don’t I feel the slightest bit of fear?
Moreover… there’s something oddly familiar about it.
Though perplexed, Lin Yu instructed the bow-wielding Army Lady to lower her weapon.
"Mom?"
"Didn’t it rescue you before? And it’s never harmed any of us."
"But… it’s a reincarnator."
Oh, right!
She currently wasn’t using her "Disguise" skill. As a fellow reincarnator, the wolf must possess the Identification ability.
It’s probably already appraised me.
Meaning this creature knows my true nature.
As a fellow reincarnator, it has every reason to attack – why else? To ascend as a deity…
However…
"Hold your attack."
If it’s not making the first move, neither should we.
Besides, with that blur-of-motion speed it demonstrated earlier, hitting it would be nearly impossible anyway.
Ah! I should appraise it too.
