“Weak chicken Xiao Xuan chose a weak chicken solution: to dig up people.”
Regarding this, Truth could only say that she brought it upon herself.
Over such a long time, if she had built a solid foundation, she should have been able to activate this ability through Heart Establishment mentally.
But Little Mist’s heart wavered again. If she could truly establish her heart at this moment, Little Mist would gain something externally.
In her heart, it should be like this. After a hundred years, this was Truth—utterly helpless.
“Reg, is this capital noble here for the Dragon Egg?” Taking advantage of Little Mist’s questioning, Truth directly asked Reg through the Mark. The latter immediately nodded.
“Great, Truth is finally normal again! So was she just pretending earlier?”
This…
In front of Little Mist, after hearing her request, Jin Si was truly in a bind.
He had no idea whether Little Mist was playing dumb or genuinely unaware of the Dragon Egg matter.
And with Kashan present, he couldn’t just blurt it out on the spot.
As a compromise, he had to say, “Holy Maiden, how about letting me take this Demon Hunter named Reg away first? Later tonight, I’ll bring a gift and visit you properly. What do you think?”
“No, I want to know now. So you’ve been hiding things—who are you guarding against? Kashan?”
Little Mist pressed on, her question sharp.
Meanwhile, Kashan crossed her arms and sneered, “He’s definitely guarding against me. And without even thinking, you know the treasure he’s talking about is the Penetration Seal. Otherwise, the Qisen Family wouldn’t send such a low-tier lackey to Deya City to find you!”
Jin Si seemed to be hit right where it hurt. A flicker of anger flashed in his eyes, because Kashan had hit the nail on the head.
Regarding the Dragon Egg, his eyelids twitched.
That was why Jin Si had to settle for a mediocre and insignificant family member to make this trip.
Although Jin Si was only Four Rank and belonged to a woman—the witch was only six ranks—there shouldn’t be a problem with him handling a small matter in Deya City, right?
However, Jin Si encountered something in Deya City related to the Church.
Moreover, Kashan had sent a letter suggesting that the Dragon Egg matter might be connected to the Ninth Princess.
Not only did this person refuse to cooperate, but she even kept interfering with every move he made!
So now, even though you’re angry, the problem is still acknowledging me, right?
So from the very beginning, you had the upper hand, but Jin Si could only resign himself to fate.
Because in front of him, these two priests were squatting—he couldn’t even compare to the smaller one, let alone the bigger one.
The Shadow Guard simply took a few steps forward, and that one… forget it.
This matter had completely exceeded his capability. He wanted to just leave in despair.
For the family, Jin Si was ready to risk it all. If it went well…
He decided to try testing the Ninth Saintess after all. After all, her face was practically written with purity and foolishness.
“Ha, I am guarding against you, so what? Now I’ll just say it plainly, Holy Maiden. You have the scent of my family’s treasure on you. My witch’s nose won’t be wrong. This means you’ve come into contact with my family’s treasure!”
“Huh? Really?” Little Mist was stunned for a moment, but quickly regained her composure and said coldly, “Are you suspecting that I stole your things? You trust your witch that much? Just because she twitched her nose, you suspect a Saintess of theft?”
“No, no, Holy Maiden, you’re being too harsh. How could I suspect you of stealing? I just wanted to say that you might have clues about the lost treasure of my family.”
“What if your witch is mistaken?” Little Mist questioned again.
Although her tone was still a bit guilty, it made Kashan feel a slight shift—something that didn’t quite fit Little Mist’s usual manner.
“I… am not wrong!”
The witch stuck out her tongue and immediately retorted.
What a joke—she could smell a single drop of blood from a hundred kilometers away.
Abyss-Sniffing Serpent, as long as there was no human interference, no scent could escape her snake tongue!
However, Truth was about to interfere. But not to block the witch’s smell—she just wanted the latter to smell something else…
Little Mist snorted coldly, pointing at Reg, who had been watching from the sidelines, and said, “So confident? Let me tell you in advance—my scent is quite special, after all, I’m a Saintess. If you still insist on your answer, then I’ll go with you to check out that Demon Hunter you want to take. On the other hand, if you don’t find anything, then both of you go back where you came from.”
Hearing this, Jin Si glanced at Reg and then chuckled, “Haha, no problem!”
What the hell kind of condition was that? Wasn’t she just handing the Demon Hunter over to us?
Little Mist and Kashan had no way to confirm whether the Abyss-Sniffing Serpent Witch had truly smelled the Dragon Egg of the Illusory Realm.
So no matter what the truth was, as long as the witch said she smelled it, then she had smelled it.
‘The Ninth Saintess is still too naive. She hasn’t been beaten by society yet. Giving the choice to others so easily.’
Kashan quickly reminded, “Holy Maiden, this isn’t right!”
“What’s wrong with it? Don’t think so badly of the lady. I believe she’ll tell the truth.” Truth shrugged.
“Fine!”
Without giving Kashan a chance to continue, the Abyss-Sniffing Serpent Witch, who had received Jin Si’s hint, immediately stepped forward.
She understood the plan well—just as before, she had to insist that Truth carried the Dragon Egg’s scent, even if it wasn’t true.
‘Sorry, Holy Maiden. I actually like you, but the Qisen Family paid me a big sum this time. I’ll have to offend you just a little today!’
“Huh… what’s going on?” Meanwhile, Reg looked at Truth’s faint smile with confusion.
Did I just see wrong? Did Truth’s figure flicker for a moment?
Just as everyone was looking at Reg, Reg suddenly noticed Little Mist flicker.
The next second, he saw that the Ninth Saintess in front of him had lost her earlier weakness and returned to the composed and effortless demeanor he remembered…
And also—when did she get an antenna hair?!
Only Reg noticed the antenna hair on Truth’s head.
Just now, Truth had used Reg to draw everyone’s attention and switched places with Little Mist in an instant.
At this moment, Little Mist was sitting behind the cathedral, completely bewildered.
Now it was Truth facing the Abyss-Sniffing Serpent Witch’s sniffing. Soon, the witch stood in front of Truth.
Tall and slender, her model was quite imposing—she was probably almost six foot three?
Her chest was a bit small, but well-proportioned.
Looking at Truth’s clear pink pupils, the witch expressionlessly bent down and quickly flicked her tongue above the former’s shoulder, accompanied by an almost imperceptible hiss.
Instantly, countless minuscule scent molecules surged like a tidal wave into her keen perception core!
Hmm, the scent of the Dragon Egg of the Illusory Realm was even stronger.
And the various smells had become more complex—there was the grassland of the high plateau, the rot of the swamp, the smell of a kitten, and many other fragrances.
It seemed the Holy Maiden liked to run around a lot on weekdays…
Hmm? Wait! Why is there a smell of blood?!
