Chapter 1056: Cocky... Getting a Spanking

"Eh?! Yu... Yue?!"

At that very moment, Yumo's expression changed abruptly. The poise and confidence on her face vanished in an instant. A wave of panic and anxiety spread through the black-haired girl's heart like a virus. A bead of cold sweat slowly rolled down Yumo's forehead.

Why... why was Yue in my mother's hand?!

Wasn't she inside me?!

Staring at the feather duster in Yela's hand, Yumo's crimson eyes were full of confusion... and reproach.

Yue!! What are you doing?!

Sadly, Yumo's mental question to Yue went unanswered. Well, not entirely unanswered. As Yumo's query resonated, a strange, eerie red light began to flicker on the feather duster. Yumo couldn't be sure if it was her imagination, but she seemed to catch a glimpse of a spine-chilling, wide smirk on the feather duster.

"??!"

"Ah, this..."

Suddenly, a strong sense of foreboding welled up in Yumo's heart.
