Harem Overlord Chapter 378 – A Mother’s Nightmares

“My father’s name is *** and your name is Ana. You had to give me up when the men from our village attacked you and you instead escaped with her.” Mila said while taking a deep breath as she pointed at Lily.

The latter had no idea what Mila was talking about so she instead turned to look at the woman who was her mother and who Mila had called Ana.

“I…” Ana began saying but her voice trailed off as she realized that Mila was not lying. “How are you even here?”

Instead of replying, Mila turned to look at Kai who sighed.

“I massacred the entire place where she was living and since she was about to be executed, I freed her from that place,” Kai replied as Ana looked petrified.

“You kill that village even though it had a ton of strong people?” She asked with a slightly open mouth.

“He did that in a few minutes…” Mila muttered from the sidelines as Ana suddenly jumped forward.

She grabbed the brown-haired girl’s right hand and threw her beside Lily before glaring at Kai.

“There is no way that someone like you would help Mila without hidden motives.” She growled as her cultivation slowly started to rise.

“You managed to reach the golden divinity realm and still say hidden. I must admit that you must be quite smart and cunning to do that.” Kai replied with a sigh as he made no comments to either confirm or deny Ana’s last statement.

“You can see my cultivation.” It was clear as day that the woman was not good at hiding her reactions as her surprise showed on her face.

She then turned to look at the two girls and it looked as though she said something to them through spiritual messages but Kai was getting tired of this.

“I am here because I want the seal on Mila’s mind to be lifted and I want her to grow stronger. As for what reason? I just want to liberate people like that though I am no hero. And you Ana, are guilty of leaving a child behind.” Kai then grinned and his grin indicated that he knew everything about what had happened in the past.

The woman couldn’t help but back down a little as she tried to judge the level of Kai’s power. If he had guessed her cultivation, could he have a higher level of cultivation than her?

“You are thinking about my cultivation but making guesses isn’t going to get you anywhere.” Kai suddenly said as he started walking forward and Ana started moving backward.

Mila on the other hand had no idea what was happening because she had suddenly lost her vision. This was because her mother had blinded both her and Lily to make sure that they didn’t see their mother’s blood.

But Ana had no idea that Mila had grown up in bloodshed. Unfortunately, she had no idea that it probably would have been better to let Mila retain her sight rather than taking it.

“You grew to be overprotective of Lily because you thought that losing one child was enough of a shock. You knew that Mila would be living in hell so you made sure that Lily received twice the amount of love.” Kai started saying and for some reason, he was having fun.

“You thought that it would be a good thing if one of your children grew to be well protected and loved but the loss of losing your child was eating at your soul. You still think of Mila in the night and regret the decision of leaving her behind.

But at that moment, you knew that leaving behind one of your children was the best possible thing you could do and that’s what you did. But you should have known the effects it would have on your soul.” Kai finished as Ana’s entire body was trembling.

She had never thought that a man would barge in her house alongside her daughter and read her mind as though it was an open book. Not only that but he knew of all of her nightmares.

“Who are you?” That was the only question that had been roaming in her mind and she decided to ask it. Kai on the other hand sighed.

“I am just someone who has seen the world. I have seen how cruel the things here can be. But you do know that there are many things you could do about it?” He asked as stopped directly in front of Ana.

Ana was a short woman who barely reached to Kai’s shoulders yet he had a feeling that she packed enough power to wipe out legions of cultivators.

“You could have gone back.” He finished speaking and turned towards Mila. With a snap of his fingers, her vision returned alongside Lily’s vision.

“Were you just doing that for fun?” The brown-haired girl asked as she turned to look into Kai’s eyes.

He hadn’t known the handsome man for long enough but she had a feeling that he was more dangerous than he seemed.

“Fun? I was trying to make an impact here.” He protested though deep inside, Kai knew that he had enjoyed what he was doing. 

‘Perhaps I need to release all of the pent-up stress and frustration I have.’ He thought with a sigh before looking at Ana.

“That was all I wanted to speak but if you still think that I am a danger to you or your daughters, I will leave. Though remember, many people would come after you because of these two.” Kai pointed towards the two sins.

He knew that the organization that was being run by the Darkness was just on a tactical retreat while finding weapons for themselves or perhaps the Darkness was refining Taizan as its vessel.

But despite that, he knew that leaving behind two sins with memory loss was not a good decision. And he was saying that without inserting his personal feelings.

“You tell me the reason for that and maybe we can talk more about this.” However, Ana looked as though she had found some seriousness in Kai’s words.

And with that, they moved up.
