Chapter 121: "An Anomaly"

"Sure, sure. I have the whole crystal mine. You can just pick some to replenish your power." Finley nodded with a grin.

"Actually, I also want you to freeze the time around Ain's mansion...but I know you can't do that." The boy shrugged.

Chronos also had his bottom line. He wouldn't use a powerful wide-area skill to someone who wasn't even his contractor. For this fairy to help Ainsley alone was already a good thing.

"Mmm, mm, then, I'll go back to our mansion and make the time loop." Chronos rubbed his plans together, and shortly after, he kicked the branch in one go. With just one leapt, the fairy already vanished from the spot.

He simply used his fast movement to look as if he just teleported away. In fact, he slowed down his surroundings so that he would look fast.

After Chronos was gone, Finley returned to observe Ainsley and Code-C, ensuring no one would harm them. Because the baby never had many visitors coming to her room, even after several hours, no one came to get her.

It's only when it's dinner time a maid and Elliana visit the room.

"Young miss, it's dinner time– huh?" The ordinary maid paused in her tracks. She just arrived when she saw the baby sleeping on her crib together with the sacred guardian...how could she not stop her steps?

She even shut her mouth!

"This…" the maid was puzzled. She looked at Elliana beside her, asking her in silence.

What's going on? Since when did the young lady can sleep so soundlessly with a sacred guardian on her bed?

That's so...reckless!

Elliana also saw this peaceful scene, and her tightly furrowed eyebrows relaxed for a second.

"Leave. Don't. Disturb." Elliana swiftly turned around and left the room without talking much. In her eyes, to disturb the baby when she's sleeping with a sacred guardian was akin to suicide…

They better let her sleep more. When she's hungry, she would naturally wake up.

Elliana was calm as she left the room, but the maid toiling behind her was bewildered.

"T-that...can we leave them? The sacred guardian is quite dangerous...what if the young lady got hurt?" She couldn't help but ask.

Even though she wasn't Ainsley's hardcore fans, she was still worried that the lady would get hurt and then she would be blamed for not repeating those two when they fell asleep next to each other.

Hearing the doubt inside the maid's voice, Elliana paused. She was silent for a few seconds before shaking her head.

"Miss. Fine." The woman wanted to say that Ainsley would be fine. Thus, with her back facing the maid, the woman strode fast to the dining room to tell Grandpa Yofan about this incident.

The maid could only watch Elliana coldly leave, and she also shook her head.

"I don't know if the family guardian is confident or just indifferent to the family head…"

One could say that Elliana was too confident in Ainsley or, she didn't care whether the baby would die or not. Given her cold attitude, the maid naturally thought of the latter.

But what could she do? She's just a low-level maid. She better shut up or talked about this to the other maids to gossip…

The matter didn't incite anyone's attention that night. Grandpa Yofan also understood Elliana's decision. One shouldn't disturb a baby's sleep, even more so when the baby might be bonding with the sacred guardian through sleeping.

The elder just sent a few maids to occasionally give Ainsley some pills or nourishment to let her eat while sleeping.

She would wake up refreshed the next day and maybe, she already bonded with the beast.

Everything went smoothly until the next day. As usual, the maids came to the baby's room to bathe her and replaced her clothes.

Usually, the baby would already wake up and greet them with her innocent smile. However, to everyone's surprise, she was still sleeping soundlessly on the crib, together with the sacred guardian.

"Eh? The young miss is still sleeping! What to do?" One of the maids exclaimed in surprise. She peeked at Ainsley's peaceful sleeping face and couldn't help but giggle.

"Uhh, our young miss's sleeping face is so cute!" Another maid sounded what others thought. None of them answered the first maid's question.

Seeing that her friends circled the crib intoxicated expression on their face, the most diligent maid shook her head in disdain.

"Hey, hey! It's not the time to admire young miss's cuteness! She's still sleeping but we need to bathe and change her clothes." The diligent maid with round eyeglasses reprimanded the others.

"Should we wake her up or let her be?" She asked once more. This time, her tone was much more authoritative, making her peers regained their professional bearing.

"Hmm, let's wake her first. If we can't, ask the family head's guardian to seek advice from the supreme elder." One of the maids suggested.

It's just waking up a child, after all. If she didn't want to wake up, they could just tell the higher-ups.

"Oh, good! Let's wake her up!" The diligent maid nodded vigorously. The rest of the maids also gathered around Ainsley, but they avoided Code-C, afraid of accidentally offending him.

Nudge. Nudge.

"Miss, wake up! Rise and shine!"

"Miss, miss, today's breakfast is bacon! If you don't wake up, you won't get it!"

"Miss, miss, today's outfit will be to your liking! Hurry, wake up and try it on!"

The maids used countless coaxing to wake up the baby, however, the baby didn't even groan or grumbled. She just breathed peacefully, as if unaware of her surroundings.

Such a state...was an anomaly even in the maids' eyes.
