“Did you have a good time, Cornelia?”
“Totally!”

Cornelia gobbled up all the food that the woman kept adding into her bowl. Her cheeks were all puffed up, like a cute little squirrel. The meal must’ve been really good because the blissful smile on her face was extremely adorable.

“I even made some new friends!” Cornelia mumbled with her mouth full.
“Is that so? Then you must treasure them, my dear.”

The woman patted her head with a gentle smile on her face.

“Mnn, I noe…”
“How many times have I told you not to speak while you eat? Talking with food in mouth is poor manners.”

The middle-aged man tapped the dining table and sternly reprimanded his daughter. However, his attempts in educating his child earned him a vicious glare from the woman.

“There’s only three of us here. You want Cornelia to show you what manners are?”
“Ugh…”

The image of Cornelia calling him ‘Father’ with a solemn face instantly popped into his mind…

No, no way! Our adorable Cornelia mustn’t become so boring and straight-laced!

It’s more terrible than having his secret savings found out or even the apocalypse!

“Daddy, did Cornelia do something wrong?”

He didn’t realize that Cornelia had walked over to him and clutched the hem of his shirt. She raised her head, showing him her charming and pitiful round eyes. “If Cornelia did something wrong, don’t be mad! I promise I’ll changeeee~”

“UGH…!”

The middle-aged man felt a hard squeeze in his heart. Cute. Too cute! His heart was melting! He felt something hot in his nose…

Damn, he was actually getting a nosebleed from his adorable daughter! Her mother mustn’t know about this, or he’d be euthanized!

“I… I’m going out to buy cigarettes.”

After saying that, the man stood up and slipped away.

The woman rolled her eyes at him, then went back to adding food into her cute daughter’s bowl.

As soon as the middle-aged stepped outside the room, he took out a tissue from his pocket and wiped his nose. Sure enough, he saw a bright red stain blooming on the white tissue.

“Good thing I was quick enough to leave. I’d be a goner if Cornelia thinks I’m a creepy father and hates me for the rest of her life.”

The thought of losing the joy in the late years of his life due to his nosebleed sent the man’s heart palpitating.

No, I need a puff to calm myself down.

When the man reached into his coat pocket and found nothing, he was reminded of his intention to go out and buy a pack of cigarettes.

“Hehe, thank god I’m smart enough to hide my allowance elsewhere…”

He squatted down and reached into his shoe. After a good while, he finally pulled out a few crumpled bills. He smoothed out the bills like they were the most precious thing, then took a deep whiff.

Ah… The amazing smell of money.

A grin broke across his face. With these, he could afford a pack of better cigarettes and indulge himself. He carefully put the bills away, then shimmied down the corridor while humming a little tune.

When he arrived at a large door which he thought was an exit, he reached out to turn the door knob. With a creak, the door slowly opened.

When it fully opened, the man’s eyes glazed over in the dim light. Like a soulless puppet, he stiffly walked into the huge room.

Despite the size, the room was only illuminated by a chandelier hanging from the ceiling right in the middle of it. There were no windows that allowed natural light in, hence the room was extremely dim.

Even so, one could see that the room was filled with rows of wooden cabinets, much like the bookshelves neatly lined up in a library. On them were all sorts of items.

Fresh fruits, vegetables, household items, toys and various trinkets were neatly arranged on the wooden cabinets.

Half of them were different styles of clothing, a wide range of cosmetics and a variety of accessories. This place looked no different than a miniature department store that had everything. Even some inappropriate adult toys could be found in a corner, without a speck of dust on them.

The middle-aged walked over to one of the wooden cabinets soullessly, then took a pack of cigarettes. He took out a wrinkly bill from his pocket and left it on the cabinet.

The bill vanished in a cloud of green smoke, and the man turned around stiffly and exited the room.

Creak… Bang.

The door closed behind the man. He promptly lit up a stick and took a puff, with an intoxicated look on his face.

Even so, it couldn’t conceal the anger on his face as he muttered, “That stubborn old man refused to give me a 5% discount though I’ve been his loyal customer for a few decades. How stingy! Unbelievable!”

He went upstairs while shaking his head.

“No wonder why he has such a fierce wife. He must’ve done a lot of bad things in his previous life to deserve such karma…”

While making that comment, the man remembered that he didn’t have a gentle wife either. Or at least, she wasn’t gentle to him. He shrank his neck and quickly shut his mouth as he hurried back.

………

“You’re going out again, Cornelia?”
“Yup, I’m going out to play with this new friend of mine.”
The woman smiled while cleaning up the dining table. “Be sure to stay safe.”
“Mnn, don’t worry mommy. I will…!”

Cornelia smiled sweetly and hopped off her chair, before waving goodbye to the woman with her cute little stubby hand.

“Well then, Cornelia’s going, mommy…!”
“Alright~ Be sure to come back before dinner…” The woman waved back at her child, with overflowing tenderness in her eyes as always.

Something flickered in Cornelia’s eyes, but it was fleeting.

“Gotcha mommy… I’ll definitely be back… before dinner.”

……

“Yo… you’re here.”

Lilith sat in the middle of a spacious and empty room. Strange runes crawled all over the floor, like swimming tadpoles. The characters were glowing faintly in gold, an invisible force filled the room.

She lifted her head and stared at a dark corner.

An adorable, petite white-haired young girl like herself, save for the ample mounds in front her chest, had showed up in a black dress.

Tap… tap…

Cornelia went up to her slowly. The sound her small leather shoes made on the floor, with every step she took, hit Lilith right in her heart.

“Why? You done crying to momma?”
“This is the only time you get to laugh.”

Cornelia crouched a little, resuming her unfinished business from earlier.

Her long, white hair hung down over her shoulder. In the candlelight, it glowed faintly like snow. The light and shadow highlighted the beautiful features of her doll-like face, but also added a little sinister air to it. Even so, it wasn’t enough to hide her charm.

Be it a frown or a smile, they would always tug on someone’s heartstring.

Even if her gaze was filled with hatred right now, it could make some lewd uncles scream, “She’s so cute, I’m gonna die!”. It had the similar effect as “flashing panties unwillingly with a disgusted look” — it was enough to get anyone excited.

But of course, Lilith had yet to stoop to the level of a lewd uncle. Hence, she wasn’t affected by Cornelia’s cute face at all. In fact, she was more heavily focused on the magnificent twin peaks of hers.

Especially in her current position right now, her cleavage was in plain sight. Compared to her face, that scenery was even more soul-stirring.

“Tsk, s̲h̲i̲t̲.”
“Hm? What was that?”
“Nothing.”

Lilith turned her head away in annoyance. Puffing her left cheek, then right, then left, then right. She was even starting to lament about the injustice of this world.

Why were some blessed with ‘great assets’ from the moment they were born, while she got the shorter end of the stick? From the genetic point of view, she should have inherited a little bit of her mother’s magnificence.

Could anyone give me an explanation?!

[ Didn’t I tell you, this is gene mutation… ] 

“……”

The corner of Lilith’s mouth twitched as she shot back in her mind, “Can you shut up, gramps?”

[ I thought you wanted an explanation. ] 

“…I’m starting to wonder how you amassed your harem. How did a male chauvinist like you find wives? It’s simply unbelievable!”

[ Haha. You have to know, beautiful women are weak against men who are handsome, rich and arrogant. This has always been an unchangeable fact of this world. C̲h̲i̲c̲k̲e̲n̲s̲h̲i̲t̲ will only get the leftovers, but never the woman of their dreams. ] 

“Hey, it’s not as bad as you make it out to be! You need to apologize to those c̲h̲i̲c̲k̲e̲n̲s̲h̲i̲t̲ who persevered in their fruitless pursuit for love!”

[ Why do I have to apologize for stating facts? ]

Lilith took two deep breaths to calm herself. Deciding that she wasn’t going to carry on the conversation with this rich playboy who knew nothing about the hardships of commoners, she changed the topic.

“What do you think Cornelia’s doing, gramps?”

[ Hmm… If my eyes aren’t failing me, she’s probably drawing a super long distance teleportation array. ] 

“Super long distance teleportation array? For what?”

[ There are only a few possibilities… Most likely, I think she wants to exile you. ] 

“Exile me? To where?”

[ Teleportation arrays generally require two coordinates. The departure coordinates and the destination coordinates. But the way she’s drawing, it seems like the destination coordinates aren’t needed. ] 

“What’s going to happen?”

[ Are you really my descendant? Since there is no destination specified, you will be sent to a random location.] 

“……”

Lilith scratched her head and looked at the strange runes that Cornelia was meticulously drawing on the ground.

A random teleportation array? That didn’t seem too scary, she thought Cornelia would make her die a terrible death by dismembering her out of hatred. In the end, she chose to send her away.

[ Gosh, you’re really stupid! ] 

Even if he was her ancestor, his constant insults were starting to wear her down.

“Rather than calling me stupid… Maybe you can get off your high horse and explain it in detail to me?” Lilith tried to remain neutral while asking that in her mind.

[ Hmph, I hope you haven’t forgotten that this small world can’t even bear the power of the saint realm. This means that its barrier is extremely weak. I’m afraid that the reason why that little girl is taking so long to draw a teleportation array, is because she wanted to draw a one that would directly allow the target to pass through the barrier of this word. ] 

“So what if that is really the case? Doesn’t that mean I’ll be able to return?”

[ But this isn’t where you’re originally from! This little world is not a subset of your original world. If she whisked you away, you definitely won’t be able to return to your original world! ]
