And in the very next moment.

The cloth curtain of the back room was slowly drawn aside.

Then they saw a completely pink, chubby infant yawning and stumbling out drowsily from the back room.

(っ ̯ -｡)

A pair of fluffy ears drooped on her head, looking dazed and bleary-eyed.

Pink and tender, fuzzy and soft, utterly adorable.

The female ghost's expression instantly froze in place, becoming as motionless as a statue.

"......"

An eerie silence spread recklessly throughout the surroundings.

"Who is she?" the female ghost asked numbly.

Lynn coughed and said seriously, "She's the infant Pig-Headed Demon gave birth to yesterday. Quite cute, isn't she?"

Buzz—

The female ghost's gaze went completely vacant.

She subconsciously extended long tentacles from her body, slowly reaching toward the little girl. After getting close, she quickly severed the tips of her tentacles.

As the tentacle pieces fell to the ground.

The severed tentacle rapidly coiled around the little girl's leg like a small snake, then almost effortlessly seeped inside.

Perfect fusion.

Not even the slightest rejection reaction occurred.

The female ghost shuddered, her gaze gradually becoming dazed, because this meant the beast-eared moe loli before her was actually the fragment that had fallen from her body a month ago.

Which meant to say.

This was her own daughter.

But this had to be some kind of joke!

She trembled.

Because according to normal development.

The malicious fragment that fell from her body, even if it took form, would definitely become an incredibly twisted monster!

A chaotic and corrupted evil spirit from birth, an utterly wicked existence!

Killing! Malice! Resentment! Evil!

So why did this child feel completely unrelated to evil corruption?!

Lynn looked at the expressionless, mentally crashed female ghost and quietly asked:

"System, explain."

[Ding! The Evil Blood Infant has completed initial transformation. According to the host's previous settings, correct worldview and values have been adjusted. The Evil Blood Infant is currently in infancy stage.]

Then an introduction for the Evil Blood Infant appeared before Lynn's eyes.

[Evil Blood Infant (Infancy Stage)]

[Level: 10]

[Alignment]: Chaotic Good

[Introduction]: Originally an evil spirit juvenile born from malice and resentment, but due to someone's interference, its growth direction has changed, becoming seemingly not so evil and corrupt...

[Current Taming Level: 351]

[Current Fear Level: 591]

Lynn: "......"

"Attention!"

With a jolt, the previously drowsy, shuffling little girl immediately stood at perfect attention as if conditioned by reflex (；OдO).

Snap—

Her two little feet snapped together, body straightened perfectly, eyes wide open staring straight ahead—the little one executed perfect attention stance.

"Left face!"

The little infant immediately turned, standing ramrod straight, facing Lynn with a full ⊙﹏⊙ expression.

The little tail behind her wagged swish-swish.

Clearly, the psychological trauma and taming level from before her formation were already carved into her bones.

Lynn: "......"

[So... so obedient...]

[Seems this must be what maxed out taming looks like.]

[This doesn't look good!]

The female ghost stared blankly at this scene, feeling her entire worldview collapsing.

Lynn walked over, scooped up the little girl, brought her close to the female ghost, and said seriously:

"Madam, she truly is a very healthy daughter. If you confirm this is your child, you can adopt her from me anytime."

Then Lynn poked the little girl's soft, sticky cheek, saying:

"Little one, say mommy."

"Mommy."

The little girl blinked, seemingly also sensing that strange connection between herself and the female ghost before her.

She leaned closer.

Sluurp—

Stuck out her tongue and gave a (๑＞︶＜๑) lick on the female ghost's face, leaving a small wet trail.

Female ghost: "!!!"

[SAN -10]

[SAN -10]

"Impossible! She can't possibly be my daughter..."

She murmured vacantly.

Feeling her worldview and outlook on life both suffering massive impacts.

Because she was an aggregate of evil spirits, a malformed evil spirit twisted from countless malice and hatred!

The daughter formed from a fragment that fell from her body should only be more twisted and monstrous than her!

Trembling, she came back to her senses and looked into the child's eyes.

Crack—

She felt something shatter inside her.

Purity... ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ꜰʀᴏᴍ novelFirｅ.net

She actually saw purity in those eyes!

An evil spirit's eyes actually containing something as terrifying as purity—this absolutely wasn't a quality a normal dark creature should possess!

"Maybe it's just disguise!"

She muttered to herself, "Just like how I often transform into beautiful women to lure prey, yes! That must be it!"

"Beneath this pure appearance must hide an evil and twisted soul!"

She muttered, finding reasons for herself.

Sluurp—

The little girl stood on tiptoes and left another wet trail on her face, eyes full of sweetness.

Clearly she had also sensed the intimate relationship between herself and the female ghost before her.

The little girl lifted her head and affectionately rubbed her forehead (๑＞︶＜) against the female ghost.

"Yada—"

Buzz—

The female ghost went blank. The understanding she'd barely managed to build just now shattered into pieces with a crack.

[SAN -10]

[SAN -10]

"This shouldn't be..."

The female ghost said numbly:

"Normally, the evil spirit fragment that fell from me should have transformed into a twisted being, how could... how could..."

She suddenly turned, her malicious and furious gaze instantly landing on Lynn.

Countless tentacles pointed at Lynn with a rustling sound.

"You did this?!"

[Ding! Threat level 91%]

Seeing she was about to attack him.

Lynn widened his eyes and decisively raised the adorable ghost infant in his arms as a shield.

Instantly, the female ghost's vision was filled again by the (๑＞︶＜๑) swaying moe baby.

Sluurp—

The ghost infant stuck out her tongue and licked the tip of a tentacle before her.

"Yada~~"

[Ding! Threat level 71%]

[Ding! Threat level 61%]

[Ding! Threat level 51%]

"Ah—ah—"

The female ghost screeched while grabbing her head, on the verge of complete breakdown.

"Impossible! She can't be my daughter! Absolutely impossible!"

This kind of collapsing emotion was completely beyond ordinary understanding.

Like a soul that considers itself utterly ugly and filthy suddenly having a child possessing pure, kind-hearted and other beautiful qualities—this was absolutely unacceptable for an ugly evil spirit!

[Ding! Host has triggered mission: Evil Spirit Mommy]

[Mission introduction: Make the target accept that the Blood Infant is indeed her daughter, while eliminating the target's malice toward the host.]

[Mission reward: Skeleton Coins x300, Basic EXP +100, Blood-Robed Evil Spirit favorability +50]

Lynn: "???"

This System really seizes every opportunity to stuff you with all kinds of strange missions!

But whether he could eliminate this evil spirit's malice toward him indeed could only start from this child.

Lynn cleared his throat, adjusted his monocle, and said seriously:

"Big sis, please calm down first. Since you came to me looking for your child, that means you must care deeply about your child. In that case..."

Lynn held up the moe baby in his arms.

"Shouldn't you feel happy seeing such a cute and healthy daughter?"

Lynn said hesitantly.

The female ghost laughed coldly in anger, forcibly suppressing her rage, saying: "Heh, then let me ask you, if you saw your own child looking like a ghost, would you be happy?"

Lynn was taken aback, saying: "Shouldn't I be happy?"

"......"

"......"
