Book 4: Chapter 156: Hereditary
In a totally dark corner, a faint light blocked all forms of energy, like sounds, vibrations or light. What others could see was a barely noticeable arc. If an ordinary person walked past it, they would not be able to notice anything strange.
The people in the ring of light could do whatever they pleased here. It was almost like a gladiatorial arena that was specially prepared for battle. They could pounce on their nemesis and tear them to pieces with all their might.
“Flat-chested!”
“Old loli!”
Two dainty voices rang out simultaneously in this isolated space. The resentment contained in their tone was intense enough to send their insults to 18 generations of their ancestors.
Then the two petite girls instantly rushed toward each other and started a fist fight.
These two had long given up on fancy and flashy moves and Lilith’s holy sword imitation had also been long abandoned. And after Cornelia tried using all her long-ranged moves but to no avail, she decisively changed her strategy and covered her entire body with an invisible armor. In just a short time, her physical combat was on par with Lilith’s.
So right now, both of them were fighting each other like hooligans, using various body parts like fingernails, elbows or knees as powerful weapons to leave marks on each other’s body.
If the two had given up on their last restraint, they would probably use their ultimate deadly weapon, which was their teeth.
“Your chest is flatter than the cutting board, you are just a golden retriever who should be ashamed of calling yourself a girl! I gave you a chance, yet you kept testing me! Could it be that canines are creatures that would shamelessly get in someone’s face and wag their tails? How disgusting.”
Cornelia’s eyes turned bloodshot from the anger. She used her advantage in strength and pinned Lilith under her. Wrapping a hand around Lilith’s throat, she used her other free hand to pull Lilith’s cheek so hard that one side of her face was deformed. Her huge golden eyes widened at the pain as tears started gathering in them.
“Hmph! A million-year-old ancient loli like you, who only knows how to act cute and is good for nothing except for the huge globes in front of your chest, are more disgusting! Mommy’s the best, I wanna be fed and hugged, yuck, disgusting. I’ve never seen a more disgusting person!”
“Aren’t you the same?! I wasn’t the only one who said things like that?”
“You dare retort? Hmph, I’m really a young girl who is qualified to say stuff like that!”
Lilith smacked Cornelia’s chest. Feeling her sensitive spot being attacked, Cornelia faltered and yelped shyly. Lilith naturally would not let such a good chance escape. She unleashed every ounce of strength she had accumulated in her and moved offensively.
She straddled Cornelia, kneading her chest like they were doughs and squeezing them into various shapes. Due to their sizes, Lilith’s every squeeze was accompanied by strange noises.
Lilith wore a mischievous smile on her face.
......
Cornelia returned to the room, with Lilith walking behind her. They had their heads lowered, like they were guilty of something. They had not gotten the juice that they were supposed to fetch either.
“Oh, Cornelia, you girls are back. Huh? What’s with that bruise in the corner of your eye?”
The woman went forward and scooped Cornelia into her arms heartbrokenly when she noticed the black eye she got.
“What happened? Who beat you? Tell mommy, I’ll make them pay!” the woman said softly.
Cornelia suddenly got teary-eyed and sobbed in the woman’s arm. “It’s that stupid fridge where my juice is in! It’s a big bully. It hurts so bad...”
“Is that so...?”
The woman assessed the bruise at the corner of Cornelia’s eye, then turned her head around. Lilith was unscathed, but she had changed her clothes.
“You must have hit your head on the fridge and spilled the juice on Lilith, right?” The woman deduced.
“Yup. Impressive, mommy! How did you figure it out!?” Cornelia looked at the woman with admiration in her eyes.
The woman smiled and patted Cornelia’s head. “Of course, I know everything. I’m your mother.”
“Wow, mommy’s the best!” Cornelia cheered, but the joy on her face quickly faded, “I’m... sorry.”
“It’s okay as long as you are safe, Cornelia.” The woman pulled her into a gentle embrace, then said slowly, “Mommy’s content as long as Cornelia can grow up safely.”
Lilith returned to her seat, only to find Lesiah and the others acting weird. They were all watching the pair of mother and daughter with a strange look on their faces.
[ Lilith, I finally realized a fact. ]
The sudden appearance of Lesiah’s whispering voice in Lilith’s ear made the latter flinch. Before she could say anything, Lesiah continued speaking.
[ It looks like acting talent is hereditary. ]
