Chapter 346 Farewell
The first rays of morning light peeked through the sheer curtains into a luxurious suite at a high-end hotel in Akihachi City.
A faint aroma of fragrance filled the air, contrasting with the slightly noisy street outside the window.
The interior was warm and peaceful.
The elegant bedside lamp casts a soft, warm glow, adding a touch of coziness to the room.
Huan Die gently opened her eyes, her eyelashes trembling slightly, as if she was still hovering on the edge of dream and reality.
She stretched, feeling her body slowly withdraw from the soft, sticky slime. Then she reached out her slender hand and pressed it against the mattress. It was indeed a high-quality goose down mattress; it was both comfortable and warm to sleep on.
Huan Die got up and stepped barefoot onto the soft carpet, each step so light and free.
She walked to the window, pulled back the curtains, glanced briefly outside, and then silently turned her head away. Sure enough, apart from the mattress turning into a slime, she still couldn't get used to the other creatures under the Abyss Vision; they were too abstract.
Entering the bathroom, Huan Die quickly washed up and changed into a black dress carefully chosen by Iris.
This dress is made of fine black silk and is adorned with delicate silver patterns.
The dress was tailored to fit perfectly, outlining the girl's slender and graceful figure. The cuffs and hem were made of sheer tulle, which swayed gently in the wind, adding a touch of mystery and elegance.
Her long, deep purple hair was simply tied up, with a few loose strands falling naturally over her shoulders.
Finally, put on the hat to cover your face.
Today is an important day.
It's her funeral, so it has to be a bit formal.
Thinking it over, Huan Die made her final adjustments in front of the mirror, her eyes hiding deep sorrow and reluctance, but a relaxed and confident smile still lingered on her lips.
bang bang —
A few soft knocks on the door. "Xiaodie, may I come in, sister?"
"Can."
Pushing open the door, Iris the Demoness pushed in a food cart filled with all sorts of breakfast pastries, including human breakfasts, abyssal breakfasts, and even a Flower of Calamity placed to the side.
"Xiaodie, breakfast is ready!"
Huan Die glanced at them; whether they were human pastries or abyssal pastries, they were all types of food she used to enjoy.
"Hmm, how about Iris-neechan eats with me?"
"Great! It's been a long time since I've had breakfast with Xiaodie." Demon Princess Iris walked to Huandie's side, glanced at her attire, and nodded with great satisfaction. "As expected of my sister, she looks good in anything."
Phantom Butterfly didn't say anything in response to Iris's praise.
She quietly placed the pastries on the table, putting the ones that Iris liked in front of her, while she mainly took some human food, as she still needed some time to adjust.
The two people sat facing each other.
Iris looked at the Calamity Flower on the table, then silently handed it to Phantom Butterfly: "Listen to me, you were shot by that damned Kikyo mage a few nights ago, you need to replenish your nutrition, don't be picky about food."
Phantom Butterfly wanted to refuse, but she noticed that Iris's brows were furrowed and her expression had become extremely serious.

"
Huan Die's eyes twitched, and she silently stuffed the Flower of Calamity into her mouth.
The next second, a rich and pure abyssal aura surged into her abyssal crystal core, rapidly repairing her body that had been damaged by Kikyo's ultimate technique a few days earlier.
Seeing that Phantom Butterfly was behaving obediently, Demon Princess Iris chuckled softly, "That's my good little sister~"
"I originally planned to get you a few more Calamity Flowers from the Ipomoea, but something seems to have happened to her. She won't tell me anything, so I only brought one."
"Has something happened to Demoness Iris?"
"You don't need to worry about that. Just focus on healing your injuries and getting ready to return to the Abyss."
I'm going to Japan...
"
"?"
After a brief silence, Huan Die said in a low voice, "There's not much to do back in the Abyss. Now that I've become the Abyss Demoness, I'd like to do something for you. As long as we don't go to Ye Qiu City, anywhere else is fine."
Iris gave Phantom Butterfly a deep look, then chuckled softly, "So you've completely abandoned darkness and embraced the light?"
"No, it's just that I feel that if you want to survive in this world, you have to find a goal in life, otherwise it's too boring."
Looking into Illusion Butterfly's rather guilty deep purple eyes, Iris didn't expose her thoughts. "Alright, you can go there, just think of it as a trip. But there aren't many Abyss Beasts that obey your orders there, so you'd better be careful. Don't get tricked like last time. You're already pregnant now, what kind of situation is that?"
Phantom Butterfly:
'
As she spoke, Iris glanced sideways at the room next door where Yuugiri lived. "By the way, I heard that of the two Abyss Demon Generals under your command, one was killed, and the other had his demon general authority revoked?"
"Hmm." Huan Die nodded gently, but seemed unprepared to explain why she had removed the Abyss Demon General.
Seeing this, Iris didn't ask any further questions, but rather asked with some suspicion, "So you're planning to select a new Abyss Demon General?"
"Um."
"I remember you used to really like the Abyss Twins, right? I can transfer the Abyss Twins access from Yuugiri's side to yours now, do you want it?"
"Um?"
Huan Die's eyes widened immediately, and she quickly shook her head, "No, no, if Xi Wu finds out, she'll go crazy!"
"Little Dragon Girl, so cute and cuddly, aren't you tempted?"
Huan Die recalled the endearing sight of the two cute little girls rolling around on the bed.
She subconsciously wanted to nod, but then suddenly recalled the image of her little sister, Xiao Si, who had worked tirelessly for her all these years, a black-haired little girl.
She shook her head decisively: "No, no."
"Are you all talking badly about me behind my back?!"
With a bang, the door was kicked open by a pink-haired little girl. Her cute and intelligent big eyes lingered between Iris and Phantom Butterfly, finally locking onto Iris.
Stared at by Yugiri's large eyes for a long time, even the usually composed Iris felt inexplicably guilty. "Ahem, didn't I just ask Xiyue and the others to call you over for breakfast? Why are you only coming now?"
"Who wants to have breakfast with a bad woman like you? If it weren't for Sister Xiaodie being here, I wouldn't have come!"
Yugiri snorted and trotted over to Huan Die's side, sitting right next to her. "Sister Huan Die, I've recently developed a new type of slime, do you want to try it?"
"Hmm? Any new effects?"
"Hehehe, it has many effects, listen to me..."

Iris sat to the side, watching Phantom Butterfly talking attentively with Yuugiri, and felt a little emotional. Perhaps in the entire Abyss, only Phantom Butterfly was willing to play these childish games with Yuugiri.
If it were her and Yingluo, they probably would have dodged the moment the other person ran over, instead of chatting idly with them here.
Perhaps only someone as patient as Huan Die could play with the childlike Abyss Demoness, Xi Wu.
But at the same time, she felt that this seemingly harmless demoness Yugiri was not so simple. What Yugiri did to Gencho last time seemed like a game on the surface. She parasitized Gencho's body with her slime clone, wanting to play a child-making game.
But if we think about it more deeply, is it possible that this is Demoness Yuugi preparing to inject her clone, the slime, into the body of the Phantom Butterfly, and then, at the crucial moment of the fusion of the Abyss Relics, pull off a switcheroo, using the slime's properties to transfer the Relics from the Phantom Butterfly to herself?
This will completely prevent the Demoness Butterfly from being parasitized by the artifact.
As she pondered this, she was startled by her own thoughts. If the other party were to actually do this, it would mean that they had already mastered the method of manipulating or removing the marks from the three sacred artifacts.
This is a technique that even Iris has not mastered. At most, the opponent could only divide the relic [Flower of the Gods] into several fragments and scatter them in various places to delay the time when the Abyss relics devour each other.
Iris turned her head and looked at Demoness Yugiri biting her index finger, looking like she was struggling to answer the Phantom Butterfly's question. She felt that she was probably overthinking it. If she could master this technology, it would mean that her will had surpassed the will of the abyss, which would be equivalent to having the highest authority in the entire abyss world.
They can do whatever they want, and even open the gates to the abyss, launching a massive invasion of abyssal creatures would be a piece of cake.
If Yugiri had that ability, would she still answer Gencho's question so honestly?
She probably already ordered the Demoness Illusion Butterfly to strip herself naked and then respectfully serve her, the great Lord of the Abyss, Lady Evening Mist.
Demon Princess Iris shook her head, dismissing these unreliable ideas from her mind.
Since Xiaodie didn't want the Abyss Twins, she had no choice but to cancel the Abyss Contract.
After all, if that tampered Abyss Contract were to be seen by that girl Yugiri, I'm afraid I wouldn't have any peace.
With that thought in mind, Iris quietly left.
At the dinner table, Xiwu covered her head with her two small hands, looking like she wouldn't listen to any more of this nonsense. "Hey, stop talking about such depressing things as studying. Let's get down to business. Sister Xiaodie, I heard that one of your Abyss Demon Generals died and the other was dismissed by you. Does that mean you don't have any Abyss Demon Generals anymore?"
"This is not a good idea. What if you get caught by those evil magical girls? How about I give you one of the Twin Stars of the Abyss? Wouldn't you be touched?"
"Although I'm really going to miss them, since you're my little butterfly sister, I can give you one!"
As Iris the Demoness left, Phantom Butterfly looked at Yugiri in front of her and felt inexplicably guilty. Iris had just told her about the Abyss Demon General, and Yugiri immediately ran over and started talking about it with her as well, even offering to share one with her.
Seeing the other person's reluctant yet feigned generosity, Huan Die felt incredibly guilty!
"No need, I already have someone in mind."
"Oh, okay."

"Xiaowu, how was your meal? I have some things to take care of and need to go out for a bit. I'll check on the slime you mentioned when I get back."
"Okay, sure."
Yugiri blinked her big eyes, looking at the black dress on Huan Die, and felt a flutter in her heart.
Today, Sister Xiaodie seems to be exuding a very special aura, which makes her feel really itchy.
But she also knew that now was not the time for roughhousing.
Xiaodie hasn't been in a good mood lately, and her eyes always seem a little melancholy.
Is this because he has to leave Bai Youqing, his younger sister?
So what? If that little sister is gone, she's gone. Little Butterfly still has her own little sister, right?
I really don't know what's so good about that younger sister; she doesn't know how to be considerate of her older sister, Xiaodie.
It's better to do it yourself; you can do anything, and you can even warm the bed.
Seeing Xiwu deep in thought, Huandie patted her head. "I have some things to do. You should stay home and rest for a while."
"No way, I want to go too." Yugiri instantly clung to Huan Die's body like an octopus.
Huan Die sighed and went downstairs. A black sedan was already parked in front of the Baiyun Hotel. The driver was an acquaintance, the assistant manager of the Magical Girl Idol Cafe.
"Your Highness, where are you headed?"
"Go to Yeqiu City Cemetery."
"This... Princess Phantom Butterfly, isn't this a bit unsafe? Today, all the magical girls in Yeqiu City have been mobilized..."
'
Chesia hesitated. If it were any other place, she could just drive there directly. But the magical girls at Yeqiu City Cemetery were practically surrounded by layers upon layers of them. She was afraid that she would be surrounded by magical girls as soon as she got there.
She's dead, so what?
However, Princess Iris and Princess Ivy had repeatedly emphasized the importance of Princess Huandie's safety.
"Don't worry, you can just stay outside. I'll go by myself. Even Kikyo the Magician might not be able to spot me now."
"this..

"Go ahead, consider it a final farewell to Xiaodie."
The car door opened, and Iris the Demoness came downstairs at some point and sat in the front seat, instantly filling the previously empty car.
"Yes, Your Highness Iris."
Chesia remained silent. There were three Abyss Demonesses in one car, and countless other unknown Abyss creatures were following them. Even if they blew up the Yeqiu City Cemetery today, it wouldn't be a problem.
The black car drove slowly through the crowd, with magical girls occasionally flashing overhead, but no one noticed anything unusual about the car.
Inside the car, the atmosphere was unusually quiet, and the eulogy for the Violet Mage was being played methodically on the smart display screen.
Yugiri listened, her eyes sparkling. "Sister Xiaodie, since you're already so powerful in the human world, why did you choose to become the Abyss Demoness..."
'
Halfway through her sentence, Demoness Yugiri suddenly covered her mouth. She didn't even know why the other party had become the Abyss Demoness!
Huan Die silently turned her head away, not wanting to look at this clown.
Halfway through the journey, a black special vehicle pulled up in front of them. Phantom Butterfly looked at Iris, who smiled gently.
Led by the black vehicle, they quickly entered Yeqiu City Cemetery from the back of the mountain.
"Xiaodie, this is your problem, we won't get off the bus. If you need any help, please contact us anytime."
Huan Die nodded silently. A bunch of white lilies appeared in her hand. Looking up, no matter how the scene of Ye Qiu City Cemetery changed in the Abyss's vision, she could still find the way up the mountain.
Recalling the scenery from my last visit here, I saw lush green grass dripping with water droplets, and distant mountains appearing and disappearing in the morning mist, like a traditional Chinese ink painting, inspiring endless imagination.
It seems like it wouldn't be bad to bury the Violet Mage here.
Huan Die walked step by step. She didn't go to the second cemetery, nor could she actually go there to deliver flowers to her deceased relatives—that would be suicidal. Instead, she came to the graves of the Violet Judgment Squad members and offered them bouquets of flowers one by one.
"Miss, do you know them?"
As the Butterfly Ceremony ended, a familiar, slightly hoarse female voice rang in her ears.
Huan Die turned her head, and before she knew it, a strange creature had appeared beside her, its blood-red eyes revealing a hint of doubt.
Huan Die shook her head. "I don't know them, but I know that those buried in this cemetery are all heroes of Ye Qiu City. If they are heroes, I will pay my respects."
After Huan Die finished answering, the other party fell silent.
Under the hat, Huan Die blinked hard, seemingly trying desperately to regain her human vision, hoping to see her junior one last time. But unfortunately, the other person's appearance remained unchanged.
The lotus mage remained silent for a moment, then left without saying another word.
"Sigh~"
Huan Die sighed slightly and looked towards the second cemetery area, where there were many more people than here.
A strange flutter flickered in her heart.
The next second, a pure white light appeared in her eyes, and the things in front of Huan Die seemed to change instantly. All the monsters in her eyes returned to their original appearance.
In particular, the pure white figure of the Kikyo mage, as well as the figures of the Kikyo Judgment Squad members around her, appeared one by one before her eyes.
At this moment, Huan Die's deep purple eyes didn't dare to blink, as if she wanted to imprint their images deeply into her mind.
At the same time, the pure white figure seemed to sense something and looked towards the first cemetery area.
But they found there was nothing there.
But just now, she clearly felt something in her heart.
Is this an illusion?
"You're back already?"
"Aren't you going to take a look?"
On the way back in the car, Demon Princess Iris turned her head with some confusion.
It takes them half an hour to get here from Baiyun Hotel, but Huandie only took a dozen minutes to go from going up the mountain to coming down.
"A few minutes will suffice. If it takes any longer, I'm afraid I won't be able to stay, which wouldn't be good for anyone."
Huan Die shook her head, a hint of sadness flashing in her eyes. She had originally thought she would be able to see more of those familiar figures.
However, the pure white light only lasted for a dozen seconds before everything returned to normal.
Seeing the melancholy look on the phantom butterfly's face, the demon princess Iris changed the subject. "Alright then, when are you planning to leave? Do you want to take a plane, a boat, or fly there directly? Do you want me to buy you a ticket and prepare some food for you?" At this moment, Iris was like an old mother watching her child go on a long journey.
Asking all sorts of questions, as if afraid the other person would get lost.
Seeing the Demon Princess Iris asking all sorts of questions, Demon Princess Yugiri curled her lip. When she came to Yeqiu City from the Abyss, why didn't anyone worry about her?
But that won't happen again; her beloved Xiaodie sister is back.
Yugiri hugged the other person's arm tightly, lay on the other person's snow-white and warm thighs, smelled the faint fragrance, and enjoyed the special treatment of having a lap pillow that was uniquely hers.
The Butterfly gently patted Xiwu's little belly, just like coaxing a child to sleep.
Her deep purple eyes gazed out the window as she slowly spoke, "Go to Ninomiya City, then get there from the jump point."
Recently, due to the "miasma bomb" in Erkani, transportation in Yeqiu City has been severely disrupted. The Yeqiu City government has issued a new document requiring officials in each region to cure citizens infected with miasma in their respective areas as soon as possible. Many trains, high-speed trains, and planes traveling from Yeqiu City to other cities have been suspended.
However, the high-speed rail line to Ninomiya City remains stable.
Seeing that Illusion Butterfly had already made her plans, Iris didn't say anything more, but still gave a few words of advice.
"That's fine, but let me make this clear first. The Abyss Beasts in Dongying City are not the same as those in Yeqiu City. The Abyss Beasts there have a particularly strong sense of subversion, especially since you are carrying a sacred relic. They all basically dream of becoming the Lord of the Abyss. So when you go there, don't hold back and don't let them look down on you."
"Okay, I understand."
Huan Die nodded very seriously. If it were about killing magical girls, she might feel some psychological pressure. But if it were about killing abyssal monsters, she would kill all the abyssal monsters in Dongying City without any problem.
The abyssal beasts in Yeqiu City are too obedient; several times, she almost couldn't bring herself to kill them.
