Ten minutes later, at the Church of the Goddess of Life, Little Mist gave a very unsatisfactory answer to Truth, so Truth was very unhappy.
‘I’m done for. I never expected Truth’s sore spot to be “face.”’
……
After Truth left, Little Mist, who had changed into a new priest robe on the second floor, dejectedly returned to the confession hall. She felt her snake life was about to be over.
Fortunately, thanks to her previous resourcefulness, even though her answer was terrible, Truth reluctantly gave her an “observation period.”
At the time, Truth had been sitting cross-legged on Little Mist’s back and said, “If you want to snatch control of the Mist from my hands, I’m ready anytime. If you want to challenge my authority, I’m also ready anytime. But if you dare to tarnish my innocence outside and let someone take advantage of me…”
……
“You know my methods!”
“Seeing that you are the Incarnation of Mist’s Will, I’ve decided to give you one last chance. I’ll see whether you’re actually useful or not. If you fail to prove your worth to me in the days ahead, then I’ll dissect you carefully and study why the development team created you to play this game of competing for authority with me…”
So in the following days, Little Mist absolutely could not make Truth unhappy, and she also had to firmly remember Truth’s anti-harassment lessons. Otherwise, her fate would be very miserable.
“Anti-harassment lesson number one: first of all, absolutely do not let anyone touch your body, especially the special parts!”
When Truth took Little Mist to the second floor to change clothes, she stood with her hands on her hips and gave an on-site lesson to Little Mist, who was changing.
“Um, can I ask why? Because this is my first time as a human…” Little Mist asked cautiously.
After all, Truth had said she could directly ask about anything she didn’t understand.
“This… shouldn’t you feel ashamed?”
“To be honest, I don’t really feel much. I’m just a little shy…”
“You shameless snake thing! Then let me put it another way—here, here, and here are all your weak points!”
Taking advantage of Little Mist not having finished dressing, Truth quickly pointed her finger at several spots on the former’s body that she considered weak points.
“These weak points cannot be easily touched by others. Little Mist should understand this principle now, right?”
“Mmm…” When Truth’s index finger brushed across Little Mist’s body, Little Mist didn’t feel that those places were weak points at all. In fact, they seemed quite comfortable?
“Huh? You’re actually enjoying it?!”
Seeing Little Mist’s expression of enjoyment and lack of ambition, Truth got angry.
She then directly pinched Little Mist’s cheek with her right hand and slowly lifted upward.
“Wah!”
An intense tingling, numbing pleasure, and pain flooded Little Mist’s entire body, making her unable to think for a short while.
‘I didn’t expect Truth wasn’t lying to me. These spots really are weak points!’
“Wrong, wrong, I understand… I won’t let anyone touch them anymore, wu!”
At the point of lip contact, she hurriedly swore, which finally made Truth let go.
‘Hmph, I actually have to teach a snake anti-harassment lessons hand by hand. What a hassle!’
So now it was Tia teaching Truth anti-harassment, and Truth teaching Little Mist anti-harassment…
……
After that, Little Mist, who had changed clothes again, explained several key points, and then Truth disappeared from the spot. Little Mist slowly walked downstairs…
……
‘I hope I won’t encounter too much trouble from now on, and can peacefully spend my short time as a Saintess,’ Little Mist murmured to herself.
“Saintess, are you alright?”
At the front of the church, when they saw Little Mist come out from the back looking a bit down, the three priests who were worried about her immediately went up to her with concern.
“The back door of the church was inexplicably locked just now, so we could only wait anxiously outside.”
“Saintess, are you not finished? Do you need the High Priest to take a look, or perhaps let that priest elder who suddenly appeared outside take a look?”
“No… no!” Little Mist waved her hands repeatedly.
“I’m absolutely fine. Ah… right, how are the wounded?”
“There’s no need to worry about that at all. That priest elder is super strong! She can handle the entire scene by herself, and Teacher Tia also came to help.”
“Speaking of which, Saintess, you’re amazing too. Being only Second Rank, you were able to sustain a Group Healing Spell with potions for such a long time. In just a few minutes…”
“A Second-rank priest casting a Group Healing Spell is already rare, but one that lasts ten minutes is even rarer. Although this is the result of being forced to use recovery potions, being able to drink so many bottles of recovery potion in a row is incredibly tough!”
“It really is worthy of the Saintess—extremely strong resistance to potions!”
After the two young priests spoke in turn, a third young priest continued.
“Also, Saintess, the Demon Hunters now need to temporarily use the open space in front of the church to deal with those captured. Please come down!”
At this moment, several types of magic users were already setting up formations at the church entrance. Later, they would inspect all captured Ling Spirits for explosives there before sending them to prison for interrogation.
More importantly, after better ensuring the Saintess’s safety, their current task was mainly to help the Saintess deal with the Ling Spirits in the city and assist the High Priest in completing the Saintess’s test…
“Uh…” Little Mist stared blankly at the entrance. Her intuition told her that big trouble might be coming next, and possibly more than one…
“Saintess, are you here!”
Suddenly, a young male voice came from outside. Under Little Mist’s gaze, Reg, dressed in full Demon Hunter gear, hurriedly rushed into the church.
“Saintess, it’s urgent! A word in private!”
Reg motioned for Little Mist to go somewhere secluded to talk, but at this moment, Little Mist was completely bewildered.
‘Who is this guy?’
The surrounding young priests realized they couldn’t listen in and voluntarily left, leaving the space for Reg and Little Mist.
Then Reg lowered his voice and said, “We have a big problem. The buyer for your Dragon Shepherd Egg is the Huason Family from Wangdu. They have connections reaching to the heavens throughout all of Sivia, and they’ve already set their sights on me. I can’t handle this alone. I really need your help!”
“You… who are you?”
“Huh? You’re turning your back on me? Come on, that’s not how teammates act!” …
“Saintess, I’ve come to see you.”
Before Reg could finish, a mature female voice came from outside the church.
Chief Priest Kashan entered quickly, her blue ponytail swaying behind her as she walked with a distinctive rhythm.
“I’ve roughly understood the situation with the wounded. Jiang Ya is handling it now. How is your body?”
Kashan walked directly up to Little Mist. Reg tactfully stepped aside, leaving Little Mist to face the seventh-tier Chief Priest alone.
Then Kashan gently lifted her skirt, took a small step forward, and slightly bowed her head toward Little Mist, holding that posture.
“Greetings to the Saintess.”
This was a very standard priest salute.
Then it was the Ninth Saintess’s turn.
As a Saintess, Little Mist was supposed to naturally puff out her chest, then manifest the Aura of Saintess above her head to perform the Saintess’s return salute…
Unfortunately, Little Mist knew none of this, because Truth had never taught her.
“I’m… fine,” Little Mist replied guiltily, scratching her head in response to Kashan’s priestly courtesy.
“Ahem…” Kashan coughed twice, seemingly hinting at something to Little Mist. After a few seconds of blankness, Little Mist finally realized—she was supposed to introduce herself!
So Little Mist quickly replied, “Oh, oh… um, hello. I am the Ninth Saintess, Truth.”
“Eh…” Kashan was stunned. She had thought the low-rank Saintess’s etiquette was just poor, but it turned out she didn’t know it at all!
And even if she didn’t know the Saintess salute, she could at least imitate me and do a priest salute, right? Or do you not even know the priest etiquette?! If that’s the case, I’ll have to crack down hard, you know?
“Wh… what’s wrong?” Seeing Kashan’s thoughtful gaze, Little Mist felt something was off. ‘Oh no, is my intuition about to come true?!’
Just then, another voice came into the church—the voice of a senior Demon Hunter.
“Reg, are you in? Come out, someone’s looking for you outside!”
‘Oh no, it’s the Hodgson Family people coming for me!’ Reg felt like the enemy was at the gates. He quickly clasped his hands together and silently begged Little Mist.
‘Grandma, please save me!’
“Me?” Little Mist turned to look at Reg, still completely clueless.
