Chapter 115 - 112 : Wicked Mouth (2/2)

Very soon, Lucy's clothes were wet from Saly's clothes but she didn't mind, she hugged the little girl back while repeatedly telling her that it's not her fault as it really wasn't.

Lissandra was in another part of the cave as it was carved by Delia, she made many rooms and a cell for Lissandra.

Miya stayed in one of the rooms, despite the fact that she was free from her shackles, she couldn't leave yet as Lucy didn't let her, since Lucy didn't let her go then Delia did not either and put a strong seal outside of her room to imprison her.

Lucy heard from Delia that Zodiak forcefully made her(Delia) Arthur's servant and she had to protect him with her life otherwise she would die, even disobeying him is not an option. As for Lucy, Zodiak only said that she had to try and obey her and she could still refuse but the Holy Goddess didn't dare as she felt that Lucy is more cold and ruthless than Arthur and angering her would be a disaster.

Lucy did not bother with Lissandra for the time being but she didn't ignore her either, after making sure she cut both of her arms and sealed her legs with her ice.

The sight was gory and Lissandra's shrieking was too loud but Delia blocked the sound so Saly couldn't hear, even she wouldn't be able to do that to someone so when she saw Lucy doing that with an expressionless face, she really felt a bit of fear despite knowing she's stronger.

Lissandra sat there silently, she was first arrogant and tried threatening Lucy with her clan but it was futile so she switched from threatening to try to make a deal. After countless tries, she apologized for what she did but it was still useless as Lucy turned a deaf ear to her. Apologizing would not work not now and not ever, especially after what they had to go through to capture Saly.

If Arthur didn't bring her back then maybe this pest wouldn't have given them their daughter's location and would have to bargain her life out of this place.

Apologizing turned into begging when her arms were cut off and legs were frozen yet it still didn't work. Delia made sure she shattered Lissandra's Dantian, making her a mortal and destroying her Meridians.

...

Late that night, Arthur finally woke up from his long sleep. His headache a bit and he felt a bit dizzy but after a couple of seconds, he managed to see his wife's figure beside him.

”Emmm, L, Lucy?”

His voice was not too loud but it instantly woke up the sleeping Lucy, she didn't respond to him and jumped in his arms. Nothing made her happier than seeing her own daughter alive and well and her husband waking up from that long sleep. Thoughts like 'What if he never wakes up' or 'What if it's not him' surged her many times but each time she would shrug them off and hope for the best.

”Mnnnn”

Saly moved her small body as she leaned on Lucy's leg and used her thigh as a pillow but when Lucy hugged Arthur, that soft pillow disappeared so the little girl couldn't help but sit up and rub her sleepy eyes while looking at the two in front of her.

It did take her a few seconds to realize what's happening when she saw Arthur smiling at her, she exclaimed.

”Father!”

A lovely smile blossomed on her face as she jumped between Lucy and Arthur and hugged them both, her head was buried in her father's chest. Even after some time, the girl didn't let go of Arthur and she felt that he would disappear if she did so.

While wrapping his left arm around Lucy and Saly hugging him, Arthur leaned on the pillow positioned vertically behind him and checked his surroundings.

”Where are we? I can't remember what happened after the explosion...”

Just as he said that, Delia entered the room and happened to hear his question but before she could ask anything, a dark spear came flying at her.

It was easily blocked by her but she was still surprised by the sudden aggressiveness or Arthur, she looked at him with confusion before Lucy finally explained the situation.

”It's fine, she's not an enemy, she helped us.”

Listening to Lucy, Arthur frowned and still didn't restrain his killing intent as he stared intensely at Delia, who barely had any clothes on her.

”Not an enemy? She's the bitch who almost killed us. Wasn't she sealed by Senior Zodiak?”

Delia was expecting to hear him apologize for him thoughtless attack but was met with a harsh insult.

”You.... what did you just call me? Hmpf! You should listen to your wife and thank me because if not for ME, YOU would have died. hmpf!”

After saying that, Delia left the room without speaking further, she was pretty angry since her kindness was met with insult and ungratefulness, she began even regretting not humiliating him or letting him die and die with him as it's better than being treated like this, after all, she's a goddess and not a mortal.

”I don't know what happened when I left but you suddenly...”

Lucy started to explain what she saw and she didn't miss any detail, she even told him the words the unknown person who used his body said.

Saly already fell asleep while hugging him and Lucy continued explained the events from two days ago.
