The Delicate Female Lead Only Wants to be Loved by the Villainous Young Ladies

Chapter 498: Shirley’s Memories

In Shirley’s memories, the first thing Adele saw was a girl, always smiling, always running, and the gentle and loving “mother” she ran towards. At that time, she was always happy. Even if she asked for the moon in the sky, her “mother” would pick it for her. Not to mention, by the girl’s side, there were also archangels headed by Lucifer, who attentively served her every need in life.

Actually, even the angels themselves didn’t know that the purpose of their creation by the Lord of Heaven was only partly to replace the Lord of Heaven in ruling the world outside of Heaven. The greater significance was to take care of the girl whom the Lord of Heaven regarded as a treasure.

When she grew up, she would be qualified to inherit everything her “mother” had: those angels, this Heaven, and even the entire human world. And the price was... losing her freedom, forever belonging only to the Lord of Heaven, Yawei, being possessed by Her.

The gift of fate wasn’t secretly priced, but clearly marked. The Lord of Heaven, Yawei, made an agreement with Shirley when she was very young. Although... it was more like coaxing a child. “As long as Shirley promises to always be with Mother, the angel sisters you like... everything in this world will be yours, okay~”

“Okay! But... I will always be with Mother anyway...” Shirley’s answer was so quick that it didn’t go through her brain. But even if it did, she would still give the same answer at that time.

Hearing this, Yawei froze slightly, and a strange light appeared in Her divine golden eyes, which was then concealed by Her calmly. The woman’s gaze became even deeper, as if seeing another existence through Shirley’s small body, with twisted and crazy emotions intertwined in the depths of her eyes.

Shirley felt a little creeped out by Yawei’s stare and couldn’t help but call out, “Mother...?”

“Mother is here. Tonight, sleep with Mother too, okay?”

“Mmm~ It’s not impossible. Mother is such a grown-up, but she’s still afraid of the dark. How embarrassing!”

“Hehe, yes, Mother is afraid of the dark, so Shirley has to always protect Mother and stay by Mother’s side, okay~”

“Okay!”

Yawei held Shirley’s hand and walked into the dark bedroom. From the deep darkness, the girl’s innocent and confused voice came, “Mother... why are you kissing me?”

“Because Mother loves you~”

“Is it because you love me that you’re hugging me so tightly...”

“So you’re doing this to me...?”

“Shirley... do you hate Mother?”

“N-No way!”

“I like Mother...” The girl’s voice became softer and softer. A rustling sound like the rubbing of cloth came, mixed with the girl’s low and rapid breathing.

Then, the sound and dark scene were entangled by distorted and chaotic memory lines, impossible to discern. Then the scene changed, and Shirley had already grown into a young girl. At this time, she was no longer as innocent and lively as in her childhood, and she began to have the worries of adolescence. She wanted to leave Heaven and go to the human world, but Yawei restricted her with the reason that “you haven’t grown up yet.”

And she began to keep a distance from her “mother,” Yawei, intentionally or unintentionally.

The first time she refused Yawei’s request ◈ Nоvеlіgһт ◈ (Continue reading) to bathe together.

The first time she refused to spend the night in Yawei’s bedroom.

The first time... But she still deeply loved and respected her “mother” from the bottom of her heart, the only god in this world, the guardian god who saved the Human Race from the great flood, taught them how to cultivate, reproduce, and develop into tribes.

The girl didn’t dare to disobey her mother’s restriction, so she could only sit on the high clouds, overlooking the Human Race on the ground and those strange Foreign Races differentiated from the Human Race with her clairvoyance, and occasionally play pranks or use her power to benefit mankind.

Like when someone was lying on the hillside basking in the sun, Shirley would deliberately move the clouds to block the sunlight. When some tribes were suffering from drought and praying for rain, Shirley would use her magic to bring down a heavy rain.

But doing these things could only relieve her boredom and could never satisfy Shirley’s yearning for the human world, her yearning for freedom. Finally, one day, she couldn’t bear it anymore! She secretly sneaked down to the human world from Heaven!

She met a beautiful tribal girl. The latter had never seen such a beautiful girl of the same age as Shirley. The outgoing and unrestrained tribal girl fell in love with Shirley at first sight and began a clumsy and straightforward pursuit.

She expressed her love in the tribal language, performing a courtship dance like birds and animals. She went to the highest mountain to pick the most beautiful flowers and the sweetest fruits. Shirley didn’t understand what she was doing, she just thought it was interesting.

Then, on a starry night, she foolishly had sex with the tribal girl half-heartedly. “Why did you do this to me?” Although... it was quite comfortable. Completely different from before.

“Because I love you~”

“Do you want to do this because you love me?”

“Yes... but I have to get your consent.”

“Eh, but...” Shirley seemed to have thought of something and hesitated, but didn’t say it in the end.

As soon as dawn broke, Shirley hurriedly returned to Heaven to avoid being discovered by her “mother” for sneaking out. Of course, her escape couldn’t be hidden from Yawei’s eyes. Yawei severely reprimanded her, and almost brought down divine punishment, ordering the angels to destroy the tribal girl’s village and all the humans in it. Shirley cried and begged, willing to do anything to make up for it.

Only then did Yawei let the tribe go. She gently wiped away the tears from the girl’s eyes and kissed her face.

“That’s a good girl... Shirley.”

“You must listen to Mother. Everything about you belongs to me, just as everything about me will belong to you in the future.”

“We are one, and will never betray each other.”

“...We are one, and will never betray each other.” Shirley was forced to say this agreement with a trembling voice.

“I love you, my daughter.”

“...I love you, my ‘mother’.”

“It’s getting late, Shirley, let’s go to rest.”

“...Yes.” Shirley’s agreement was forced.

She finally understood where that sense of dissonance came from.

Because Yawei always treated her as her possession, with a morbid possessiveness, depriving the girl of all her freedom. Shirley’s life, also because of this mistake, entered a period of no dignity, being taken advantage of. Heaven became the girl’s cage.

But the rebellious fire of yearning for freedom never went out in the girl’s heart. She wasn’t allowed to descend to the mortal world... Fine, then she started with the archangels serving her, one by one... capturing them, to satisfy her long-suppressed emotions, and to enjoy the taste of betraying her mother.

Yawei, who was almost omniscient and omnipotent in the Heavenly realm, of course noticed this. But because angels were originally playthings prepared for her daughter, She didn’t stop or punish Shirley, but was happy to see it happen. Yawei’s thought process was probably different from ordinary people’s.

Her idea was simple: as long as Shirley gradually indulged in it, enjoyed the pleasure brought by desire, and sank deeper and deeper, and then she gave Shirley an unparalleled, more satisfying feeling... she would definitely fall hopelessly in love with her, even more clingy than before.

She would sit on her lap and actively kiss her. She would take her hand and reach under her skirt... She would affectionately call her name, her title. Return everything she owed to her.

Although the Creation God didn’t understand the human heart at all, Shirley, as a part of His soul fragment, was very good at flirting. The first to fall was actually the strongest archangel, Lucifer. She was persuaded by Shirley’s sophistry and helplessly accepted any bullying from Shirley.

A delicate and willful young lady and a loyal maid who wasn’t good at resisting?

“Mother asked you to serve me, which means you have to obey me no matter what I order you to do~”

“Now, lift your skirt~”

“...Yes.”

...

“Hey, have you ever kissed anyone?”

“... (shakes head)”

“Then do you want to try~”

...

“Lucifer... glutton, is it, is it that delicious?”

“... (blushes)”

It was probably like this. It was also during this process that something sprouted in Lucifer’s heart, making her gradually, not because of her mission, but truly become infatuated with and like Shirley. Actually, there was a certain foundation to their relationship.

In the past, Lucifer had always been responsible for taking care of Shirley’s daily life and had many opportunities for intimate interaction and communication. So now it was a natural progression.

And the other archangels also had unique bonds with Shirley, thus becoming the girl’s harem. This laid a deep foundation for Shirley to sleep with girls of all races in the world in the future, even making the insect queen of another world, and even the evil god, willingly give everything for her.

But the more love Shirley felt, the more clearly she realized that her “mother’s” feelings for her... were not love at all! Nor was it some kind of family affection. But a more selfish, twisted emotion. It was a morbid possessiveness, a desire for control, it was...

But she couldn’t resist, only endure Yawei’s forced possession... She would moan to Her satisfaction, but her eyes were as if dead, and desolation filled the girl’s entire world.

And during this time, Yawei’s tyranny, and her actions towards Shirley, gradually aroused the dissatisfaction of the archangels. There were undercurrents in Heaven, laying another foundation for the fall of the archangels who deeply loved Shirley.

Shirley was probably the earliest practitioner of “enduring humiliation to accomplish great things.” She had innate acting skills, even deceiving Yawei.

Time flew by. Shirley finally grew up. As the “daughter” of the Lord of Heaven, magic was truly an effortless power for her. At that time, she hadn’t realized that this power actually had nothing to do with the Lord of Heaven, but fundamentally came from herself.

In the arena of the gods, the girl defeated her loyal companion Lucifer for the first time, and it was under the circumstance that the latter didn’t hold back at all. This meant that she already possessed the highest power in Heaven, except for the Lord of Heaven.

All the archangels cast admiring and gentle gazes at the daughter of God whom they trusted and relied on. In an inconspicuous corner of the arena, the little Seraph, who wasn’t yet a six-winged angel, let alone a member of the archangels, was diligently carrying out her cleaning duties.

It turned out that her potential as a housekeeper... could be seen at that time. She wasn’t responsible for taking care of Shirley, or rather, there were so many angels in Heaven, and only a small number were lucky enough to see Shirley’s true face. Plus, in the arena, Shirley was wearing a bronze mask during the duel.

So under such coincidences, Seraph had never seen Shirley’s appearance. Even in the future divine war, she was just a small, transparent figure on the edge of the war, not qualified to participate in higher-level battles.

Therefore, Adele couldn’t get the key information that “Primordial Witch Shirley was the ‘daughter’ of the Lord of Heaven” from Seraph. It wasn’t until the Black Emperor Ying Zhou appeared later that this secret was completely revealed.

However, these things weren’t important now. It was purely because when Adele was watching Shirley’s memories, she noticed the cute little Seraph in the corner of the arena at that time, so she couldn’t help but let her thoughts wander.

And then the scene changed again. Shirley had officially made a request to the Lord of Heaven, Yawei, to travel the human world, as a gift for her coming-of-age. She pleaded with her “mother” not to refuse.

Yawei’s mood at that time was unknown. But perhaps Shirley’s obedience and forbearance over the years had worked. In the end, She agreed to her “daughter’s” request.

This should be Yawei’s most regrettable decision in the future, or perhaps, She wouldn’t regret it. She would only hate, hate why Shirley was so disobedient, hate why she had to resist Her.

Obviously... she just had to be obedient. That way, the mother and daughter would be happy forever, and this world wouldn’t be hit by the disaster of destruction and restart again... Wouldn’t it?

It could be said that Shirley’s resistance was at the cost of the lives of all beings in this world. If she knew this would be the ending, wouldn’t she... be the one who felt regret?

Sacrificing one person to save the world, or fighting at the cost of the world. Adele didn’t know which one to choose. It was just that between the huge differences in magnitude, the instinct to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages would often give the final answer.

But was this... really the case? Humans never seemed to learn from history. So now, thousands of years later, all the powerful individuals in this world were still trying their best to fight against the Lord of Heaven.

Yawei kept her promise. After Shirley defeated Lucifer, she allowed her to go to the human world she longed for, giving her daughter a reward for her obedience.

Shirley came to the human world again. Although it wasn’t exactly a sea change, everything she should have been familiar with had become unfamiliar... That was true. She wanted to find the tribal girl she had met back then, her first love.

But there was no trace of that tribe in this area. Shirley, with worry in her heart, inquired with the Foreign Races living here, and finally learned that a flood had occurred here a long time ago, and the lower reaches of the tribe were submerged and became the riverbed.

The entire tribe couldn’t fight against the power of nature, so they had to abandon their ancestral land and migrate away. “...” Shirley originally didn’t want to suspect her “mother,” the Lord of Heaven, Yawei. But why was the time and place so... coincidental?

But Shirley couldn’t care about that much now. The most urgent thing was to find that tribe. So the anxious girl kept traveling between spaces. She searched along the upper and lower reaches of the river, crossed plains and mountains, and finally found the tribe in her impression in a valley.

Because the people here were dressed the same as the tribal girl who had struck up a conversation with her that day. But the more this was the case, the more nervous Shirley became.

Through reading Shirley’s memories, Adele was almost immersed in Shirley’s emotions, nervous and uneasy with her. Especially when she saw that on the nearby hillside, there were small, raised mounds.

Shirley’s heart sank deeply. She learned through eavesdropping that those mounds... were all to commemorate the tribal people who died in the flood. Most of them had no bodies and were washed away by the water, so they were buried with the things they left behind during their lifetime as a deep memorial.

That girl’s name was “...” an ancient tribal text. It meant “Xia.” Shirley really wanted to pray... but who should she pray to? The only god in this world was her “mother,” the Lord of Heaven. It was said that the flood was born from God’s wrath. Even if the Lord of Heaven didn’t specifically target Shirley’s lover, “Xia,” as long as She was angry, the rivers in this world would automatically flood.

In the end, Shirley could only choose to pray to this world, to the possibly existing, dormant will. Please... don’t let “Xia” leave me... At that time, Shirley hadn’t realized that she was actually a part of that dormant will.

She came to the cemetery and checked the names of the deceased one by one. The setting sun slanted down, and the normally gentle light shone on Shirley, making her sway. Looking at a stone strip engraved with the tribal text “Xia,” her eyes suddenly blurred. Originally, no force should be able to knock her down, but the grief welling up from her heart made her kneel on the grass and cry.

Why... would this happen. Xia, my Xia... You said that sentence to me countless times, and I never responded. But now, how I want to tell you, I love you. I love you too...

“I thought you wouldn’t come to see me.”

“Whoa...!” The sudden voice from behind startled Shirley.

Was it Xia!? Although her voice had become more mature, Shirley couldn’t possibly forget it! So, she, she, she... had resurrected? Or had her soul always remained in this world, lingering?

After a brief moment of horror, Shirley was overjoyed. Whatever! Even if she was a ghost, Shirley wouldn’t change her mind! The girl made up her mind and turned around, instantly being pierced by a gentle gaze.

Then, a kiss, still as passionate as ever. It’s just that because she hadn’t... had anyone to practice with for too long, it seemed clumsy and rough. Xia kissed Shirley for a long time. She was much taller than before, and her toned body was very strong. Compared to her, Shirley seemed delicate and cute.

She and Adele were the same type of soft girls, and they looked very similar, but they were still two different flowers, their lives unconnected. Shirley was almost kissed until she fainted. It took a long time before she returned to reality from the lightheadedness and realized a crucial fact.

“Xia! You... you’re not dead!”

“What do you mean I’m not dead? I... I also worked very hard to survive, wanting to meet you again,” Xia murmured.

Shirley quickly apologized. And the most sincere apology was probably a long intimate moment. The two were like dry wood meeting a raging fire, wanting to... on the spot. But this place didn’t seem quite right, so Shirley took Xia through space to another green hillside.

This place was already dozens of miles away from Xia’s tribe. Xia was not new to magic. Because of the rich spiritual energy in this era, the proportion of extraordinary people among the Human Race was very high, at least much higher than the proportion of one in tens of thousands in later generations.

But Xia had never seen an existence as powerful as Shirley, who could teleport. However, it didn’t seem to be the time to answer the questions in their hearts yet. Both Xia and Shirley understood this deeply.

The two kissed passionately again, giving themselves to each other. Finally, while cuddling under the starry sky, Xia told Shirley about her experience. The reason why Shirley saw her own name on the grave was that the name “Xia” was very common in the tribe. Others like “Hua” and “Chun” were even more common.

Xia almost drowned in the flood, but her will didn’t want to die. She wanted to meet Shirley again, so she desperately held on in the flood, and then luckily found a broken piece of driftwood, drifting all the way down the river. Then she also spent a long time traveling and adventuring before returning to the tribe.

After returning to the tribe, she was valued because of this legendary experience, and later she made repeated contributions in hunting and guarding the tribe. Until today, Xia had become the female patriarch of the tribe. Although she didn’t have extraordinary magic, the brilliance of many human virtues shone on Xia.

But Shirley couldn’t tell Xia about her origins... She was very sad. But Xia comforted her that it was okay.

Then, Shirley told Xia that she wanted to travel all over the world to seek the Tao in her heart. She even invited Xia to travel with her. But Xia fell silent for a long time.

“Shirley... I’m sorry.”

“I need to protect my tribe.”

“I’m afraid, I can’t travel with you.”

“What’s more, this world is not as simple as you think.”

“Between tribes, between the Human Race and other Foreign Races, there are language barriers and long-standing conflicts. The broken terrain and fragile ecology have caused every force to be separated. They have to fight for resources to survive. There’s no possibility of uniting together.”

“Is it... impossible to have such a utopian country, such a bond that can connect everyone together?”

“Everyone respects differences, understands each other, sits together equally, laughing and talking, without disputes or quarrels about interests, without injustice, without disparity, and everyone works hard for a better future for all.”

“Will there... never be?”

“But Xia, there’s such a bond between you and me!”

“We can love each other... why can’t everyone?”

Xia just smiled bitterly, not responding, because she had experienced more than Shirley and knew the cruel rules of this world. Shirley became angry. “Xia, one day...”

“One day I will show you!”

“The establishment of a utopian country!”

“I’ll call it ‘Sodom’!”

Xia froze after hearing this. Sodom.

In the language of their tribe, it meant “love,” a city-state named “love,” established at this moment in Shirley’s utopian world!

It became the goal she would strive for in the future, giving her endless motivation. After that long night, the two chose to part. Xia continued to protect her tribe. Shirley turned around, pretending to be strong, and traveled towards the unknown distance.

Actually, the moment she turned around, the girl’s tears flowed uncontrollably, dripping onto the ground beneath her feet, countless beautiful flowers blooming, turning this wilderness into a sea of flowers.

Shirley left her beloved first love, leaving behind a lonely sea of flowers.

The legend of the Primordial Witch Shirley, the girl standing at the peak of magic, the oldest and most ancient harem queen of humanity, began from here!
