Meanwhile, in the apartment complex's garden in the early morning. While Yumo was interacting with her sister and others had returned to their rooms to rest, a delicately crafted honey-haired little girl was walking slowly along the garden's stone path - our little friend Youlan.
Unlike her carefree mother and sisters who were absorbed in the other world, Youlan maintained a cautious mindset. Thus, just like when they first moved into Sato's home a few days ago, Youlan took advantage of everyone's rest to visit the complex's garden. Though the little one appeared to be taking a stroll, with each step she took, tiny spores born of Shadow power would scatter among the nearby grass and shrubs. These spores would quickly grow and merge with the surrounding plants, assimilating them.
Once the assimilation was complete, the garden's plants were no longer merely plants, but rather plant-form Abyssal Demons possessing hunting instincts and powerful offensive capabilities. Under Youlan's mental control, they would monitor the surroundings and hunt intruders, silently digesting their kills as fertilizer.

This was Youlan's favorite skill - Living Garden. Only after fortifying the area around their residence could Youlan feel slightly at ease. After all, upon learning what kind of world they were in, Youlan's heart remained constantly uneasy, invisibly crushed by enormous pressure. Understandably so - how many could remain calm after learning that every living being around them harbored deep hatred and wished for their immediate destruction? Though such preparations would have limited effectiveness against opponents of her mother's level, they still provided Youlan some psychological comfort.
Besides, how could one stay calm hearing those strange sounds from her mother's room?
Sometimes having too sensitive senses really isn't a good thing. As the elder sister, Youlan rarely found herself envying the still soundly sleeping Limo and Liyu.
And so, while transforming the complex's garden into a living garden that would automatically monitor and hunt enemies, Youlan walked to clear her mind and ease her inner fatigue. However, just as the little one had taken her short legs over two steps, Youlan's pupils suddenly contracted.
?!!!
What?!
Because in that instant, a strange presence suddenly appeared behind her when it had clearly been empty just moments ago?!!
Even though she had been constantly on high alert, how could such a presence suddenly emerge?!
Moreover, this presence was suffocatingly cold...
The next instant,
Guided by battle instinct, Shadow power rapidly condensed in Youlan's palm, transforming into a black flower. With a wave of her small hand, this exquisite black flower pierced through the air like lightning, accurately flying toward the figure behind her. The black flower released a faint fragrance as it bloomed in the air. Though the black flower was beautiful and alluring, it contained lethal power. This was Youlan's strongest assassination technique "Seventh Movement - Soul Darkening Flower." It concealed corrosive poison within an ordinary flower, instantly eroding the target's body upon contact, causing them to collapse and die miserably. Though lacking overwhelming presence, it possessed extraordinary speed.
However, this fierce attack was, in the next instant, stopped by two slender fingers beyond Youlan's expectations.
?!!
"Hah?"
Under Youlan's somewhat startled gaze, that graceful figure behind her simply pinched her Soul Darkening Flower between two fingers with casual ease.
Not only that, but the owner of that figure even let out a melodious light laugh.
"What a polite child, offering flowers at first meeting?"
As these teasing words were spoken, the blood thorns that had rushed out from the surrounding garden to attack her were instantly and silently frozen into ice sculptures, then shattered into ice shards with a series of 'crack' sounds.
To control the Soul Darkening Flower without any visible power and easily neutralize the blood thorns' encirclement.
In that moment, Youlan felt an immense pressure.
This pressure was even more terrifying than when she faced the Demon Goddess.
"..."
Slightly narrowing her eyes, Youlan looked toward this figure with a somewhat grave expression.
"Who are you?"
At this moment,
The one who had silently appeared behind Youlan was a beautiful and enchanting woman.
The woman elegantly held a parasol, wearing a soft white long dress whose hem danced in the wind, revealing a free-spirited air. A delicate silver necklace hung from her slender neck, swaying slightly and emitting a faint fragrance.
Her ice-blue hair fell like a waterfall, each strand gleaming with light as if stars sparkled within her tresses. Her face was soft and delicate, like a treasure carved by the creator. Her ice-blue eyes held the serene beauty of sapphires, with gentle silver eyeshadow further accentuating their depth, her eye corners slightly upturned, revealing confidence and composure. Her long eyelashes were like wings, trembling gently as if playing a soft melody. Her slightly upturned lips carried a faint smile, tracing an elegant and pleasant curve.
Youlan had a habit - whenever she met someone, she would compare them to her mother~ Using this to highlight her mother's 'perfection' and satisfy Youlan's inner feelings.
However this time,
Upon seeing this woman, Youlan briefly fell silent.
In terms of appearance, this blue-haired woman seemed no less than her mother, and as for figure...
Glancing at the woman's ample chest, Youlan declined to comment.
Of course, appearance was one thing.
As for strength, this woman could easily catch her Soul Darkening Flower and even remain unaffected by its Shadow power, showing her immense power - even her mother couldn't neutralize the Soul Darkening Flower without any reaction. Such a beautiful existence also possessing such tremendous power?
Definitely no ordinary person...
She herself was no match.
Youlan quickly made this judgment internally.
After taking a deep breath, the honey-haired little loli slowly turned around.
"Who are you? What do you want from me?"
Staring at the blue figure behind her, Youlan asked with a serious expression.
Though the other's strength far exceeded her own, Youlan's tone remained neither servile nor overbearing, without a trace of fear.
She understood clearly - if the other's goal was to kill her, she would probably have already been frozen into an ice sculpture like the nearby flowers, without a sound. The other's leisurely appearance behind her surely indicated other purposes.
Though this blue-haired woman was powerful, she wasn't necessarily an enemy at this stage.
Indeed, Youlan's judgment proved quite accurate.
"What a clever child."
Seeing Youlan actively cease attacking and recall the nearby blood thorns, the blue-haired woman smiled with satisfaction:
"I'm here to offer you help."
"Help? What do you mean?"
"Being so clever, you must understand your mother's and siblings' current situation, right? You are Abyssal Demons, yet living in the Source Star Universe. And every life form in the Source Star Universe is hostile to Abyssal Demons. The feeling of being surrounded by enemies must not be pleasant?"
At these words, Youlan's brows suddenly furrowed tightly, the dense worry in her dark eyes undeniable.
These words had undoubtedly struck her inner pain point.
This fact was also what had been making Youlan most uneasy recently.
"I know, so what are you trying to say?"
"I can help you escape this predicament. You don't want your mother and siblings living in such an environment, right?"
"Help me escape the predicament?"
"Of course, there's a prerequisite. I need your cooperation."
