Chapter 52: The Adult, Bad Woman is Not Used That Way

Shana and Chu Yan held each other’s cheeks, starting to research the saliva magic.

Excluding some special cases like the “water sprite” species, the magical properties in saliva are extremely weak compared to blood and other liquids, and will almost instantly disappear as soon as it leaves the mouth.

Therefore, we have to take advantage of this weak magical power as soon as it’s generated, right after it’s produced from that soft and warm place, and quickly collect and analyze it.

“This doesn’t seem to work…?”

“It seems that way, and the leg ring hasn’t appeared yet.” Chu Yan relaxed his mouth, glancing at the girl’s soft and tender leg.

There was no change.

“By the way, why did your hand suddenly move to another place?”

Shana looked at him with annoyance, making Chu Yan feel embarrassed and losing his momentum.

“Cough… I felt your body stiffening, so I helped to relieve the tension.”

He had a lot of excuses.

Shana was already used to his lip service and didn’t bother to argue, instead burrowing into the blanket and quickly starting the next experiment.

Chu Yan wanted to lift the covers to see her, but Xia Nuoya glared back threateningly, forcing him to cover her again with his gaze, not looking at her.

After Xia Nuoya had spoken at length, she casually asked:

“…When will that little aunt of your family leave?”

“It has to wait until everything here is completely stable and the church’s troubles are over. She doesn’t like staying outside for too long.”

Chu Yan’s eyebrows occasionally trembled. The knightess wouldn’t let him look, but she didn’t refuse Chu Yan’s hand stroking her nape and cheeks.

During the tactile feedback, when Xia Nuoya paused in her speech, the tender skin of her cheeks would occasionally dimple and stretch.

“Xia Nuoya, why do you ask this?”

“The lord’s bedroom is more spacious and generous than the rooms on the first and second floors. Without you… using the lord as a shield, I’m worried that other taboo bearers will feel a disparity in accommodation conditions.

It’s as if I’ve monopolized this large room.”

“That is indeed a problem~”

Although the knightess spoke in a roundabout way, Chu Yan could still hear the implication in her words.

After the two had tried every testable aspect from start to finish, the leg ring indeed appeared again.

Chu Yan lay on Xia Nuoya, easing the delightful afterglow in exhaustion, the joy of a successful experiment unsaid.

It’s a pity that this mysterious metal leg ring, no matter what, could not complete the symbols on it, it seems to be limited by the “key” at that time.

It is incomplete, and thus the effect it shows now is also incomplete.

After a while, Chu Yan said, “Actually, these past few days, sleeping without someone beside me as a heater, I’m quite unaccustomed.”

Hearing herself described as a “heater,” Xia Nuoya pinched his cheek and said nothing, waiting for Chu Yan’s follow-up.

“Maybe after the church’s affairs are finished, I’ll go talk to my little aunt. By then, she should understand that you are trustworthy companions, at least my companions.”

This had been kept secret all this time because the identity of the taboo bearers was too sensitive, and Aunt Nancy already had some connection with the Sanctity of Precepts, making explanations difficult.

Chu Yan himself didn’t feel there was anything wrong with his relationship with the taboo bearer sisters. His choices would not be swayed by others’ thoughts, but indeed, there would be many troubles.

Avoid if possible.

But now that they’ve been together for a while, if the church’s affairs can be resolved smoothly, Aunt Nancy should be able to feel how much Chu Yan enjoys himself in Paradise City!

Then it would save a lot of unnecessary explanations and trust-building work when the relationship is revealed.

…

“Quick, don’t fall behind, keep up with the team’s pace. After one more outpost, we’ll reach the borders of the Dead Sea!”

A procession of clergy marched with tight steps.

From warriors, mages to priests, the team was fully equipped, with high combat power. Apart from the logistics personnel, almost all members had strength above B-level.

Such a well-trained force gathered together, even the famous adventure groups on the continent wouldn’t dare to underestimate and provoke.

The leading nun looked at the holy coffin guarded by everyone and prayed:

“Paradise City is just ahead, and soon your power will stabilize. May the gods protect your peace, Theresa.”

Chapter Fifty-Four: Divine Faith Above All

“Members of the church, be wary, the borders of the Dead Sea have been anything but peaceful lately.”

The sentinel at the last outpost earnestly and warmly warned as they passed through.

“Has something happened?” asked the leading abbess, puzzled.

“The Dead Sea has never been synonymous with peace, but the recent troubles are particularly severe. A few months ago, there were abnormal celestial phenomena, thankfully, it ended after a few days. About a month ago, our outpost was attacked by an unknown assailant, leaving everyone unconscious.”

Is it that serious?

Everyone knows the Dead Sea borders are where the fallen and forbidden are imprisoned; a bit of chaos is understandable, but this is extreme, even the outpost has suffered an attack!

The clergy team couldn’t help but be moved, their impression of this place dropping further.

The abbess grew more puzzled: “The entire outpost falling unconscious is a serious matter, why haven’t we heard any news of this?”

“It’s strange indeed. We were all unconscious, but upon waking, not a single person was injured. Instead, the city of Elysium had turned to ruins. When asked, the lord there simply said they were demolishing to rebuild, and that nothing had happened.

Since we couldn’t figure out what exactly happened, and there were no casualties, the matter was dropped. Just be careful, everyone!”

The sentinel finished speaking with a sense of relief, an emotion that didn’t seem feigned.

The clergy team, confused but undeterred, had to continue on their urgent journey; Therese needed to be taken to the divine sigil formation as soon as possible.

The team set off again, with the main members discussing the matter.

“The church has carriages traveling to and from the Dead Sea borders every few months, why haven’t we heard of such chaos?”

“Perhaps there’s a new lord lacking the fortitude to manage this land rife with sin.”

“No, it’s more likely that the church’s authority is so far-reaching that those who do evil in the shadows dare not provoke the church’s bottom line.”

The companions took pride in this speculation, feeling that it was only natural, but the leading abbess remained silent, advancing solemnly at the front of the team.

The abbess’s name was Josephine, known for her noble and beautiful visage, and as a reliable priest, she was also called “the Angel’s Visitation.”

From noble mtl dot nete

The former Josephine was also a battle nun, who, after an injury during a mission that affected her combat abilities, decisively switched to healing her companions as a priest, and now she is among the upper echelon of A-rank priests.

It could be said that Josephine is the most capable among the pastoral nuns and has the greatest healing capacity among the battle nuns.

She knew Therese from very early on, only five or six years her senior. Due to the church’s tradition of “the old leading the new,” Josephine was Therese’s guide, watching her grow step by step.

Josephine’s own experience with injury, unable to explore the pinnacle of the battle nun’s path, made her place different expectations on her junior.

Therese seemed like the one to take up her mantle.

Now that Therese was in trouble, Josephine was the most anxious, not sharing in the glory of the church with her companions, but proceeding with deep thoughts.

Suddenly, the abbess remembered something forgotten, asking:

“By the way, have you received a reply from the nuns in Elysium City?”

Normally, when the church sends messages, the receiving nuns send back pigeons to signify the receipt of the letters, but this time there was none.

Considering the unrest mentioned by the sentinels earlier, this anomaly was indeed cause for vigilance.

“It seems not,” the nuns confirmed with a glance at each other, shaking their heads in unison.

No reply received? A nun who came to draw from the aura of the miracle would not neglect such a matter.

Josephine made a decisive call, stating unequivocally:

“We’re not far from Paradise City now. I’ll speed ahead to check the situation; you follow behind.”

Her companions wanted to say more, but Josephine had already switched to the fastest horse in the team. The high slit of her nun’s robe revealed two slender legs clad in black stockings, gently squeezing the horse’s flanks as she galloped towards the border castle.

*

As if expected, when Josephine approached Paradise City, someone was already waiting there.

In front of the brand-new city gate, a table was set up, and a noble lord who looked like a pretty maiden sat there, accompanied by several ladies of outstanding appearance.

It was as if they were prioritizing an afternoon tea.

While Josephine sized up the other party, Chu Yan also scrutinized this guest.

The black and white habit spoke of the power behind her, her light golden hair cascaded down softly, and her pale indigo eyes were indifferent and stern. Despite her beautiful features, her expression could remind one of those rigid and strict teachers.

Mounted on her horse, a crucifix necklace dangled in front of her lofty bosom, silently articulating:

The power of faith reigns supreme over (eight).

After Chu Yan simply introduced himself, he called out from a distance:

“Why are you alone? Are you the one who ordered me to work, to add rooms for you?”

Feeling Chu Yan’s frivolity and disrespect towards the church, and seeing him so close to the fallen and tainted tabooists, the great nun’s expression darkened.

Josephine’s radiant beauty betrayed an unmistakable disdain and contempt. As a lord guarding the tabooists, he was actually in cahoots with them!

She lost even the mood to introduce herself and immediately questioned:

“Lord, what have you done with those nuns? You intercepted the church’s pigeons, didn’t you? This is tantamount to a provocation and declaration of war against the church. Does the Dragonflame family know how arrogant their kin has become?”

Chu Yan laughed, took out the letter, and waved it, saying:

“When it comes to arrogance, one must learn from the church. Hasn’t the dragonkin helped you too much, making the church take it for granted that the dragonkin should obey your orders?

Look at this wording and phrasing; you really treat me like a subordinate to command.

Stealing the power of the magic circle all the time, threatening the safety of this place, and now you still have the face to make noise?”
