Chapter 134: As long as we’re careful, the saintess won’t know

The debriefing trip to the Holy Land seemed to be taking a strange turn.

All visits from high-ranking figures were being declined.

Even more surprising was that Yegeerlinai seemed to have quieted down significantly. Previously, every time she returned for a debriefing, she would inevitably engage in drinking contests with others.

Furthermore, as the Diligence Saintess, Yegeerlinai loved visiting scholars to discuss academic theories with them.

However, perhaps because it was too cold this year, the active figure of the Diligence Saintess was rarely seen.

Aililan had originally thought the matter would simply pass.

That incident would remain a small secret between the two of them.

That was until Yegeerlinai visited again a few days later.

Aililan’s scalp immediately went numb.

“Di… Diligence, what are you doing here?”

Compared to her lively and cheerful self from a few days ago, the current Diligence Saintess, Yegeerlinai, seemed to have matured quite a bit in temperament.

Or rather — it was as if she had suddenly grown up.

Aililan’s heart jolted. She thought Yegeerlinai had come to demand that she take responsibility.

Then she sighed.

‘If I have to take responsibility, then so be it,’ she thought. ‘I am not the type of person to abandon someone after a night of passion.’

Hearing this, Yegeerlinai’s mouth slumped, and she said aggrievedly, “Do… do you not welcome me? Do you hate me now?”

Aililan quickly waved her hands.

“I don’t! I didn’t! Diligence, don’t overthink things!”

She hurriedly welcomed Yegeerlinai into the house.

Then, she quietly peered out the door and looked around.

For some reason, she felt as guilty as if she were a thief.

Inside the residence of the Saint of Chastity.

Aililan gave instructions to her Head Maid, Yarandale.

“Without my command, no one is allowed to come over. Do you understand?”

Yarandale asked hesitantly, “What if an important figure comes to visit?”

Aililan waved her hand.

“Aside from the Saintesses, refuse everyone else.”

After saying that, she seemed to suddenly think of something and quickly added, “If my Saintess Sisters come, shout out a greeting.”

“Remember, it must be loud.”

Yarandale was stunned.

Shouting an announcement? Wasn’t that very rude?

However, since it was the Saintess’s command, she naturally only needed to execute it.

Soon, the maids all retreated 200 meters away.

Only then did Aililan return to the room.

She looked at Yegeerlinai, still feeling a bit uneasy.

After hesitating for a moment, she asked, “Linai… have you been doing well these past few days?”

Yegeerlinai nodded. “Quite well.”

Aililan asked again, “Then, did you come to see me for something specific?”

Yegeerlinai looked left and right before pulling a book from her robe.

It was something she had borrowed from the Great Library.

Aililan only took one look at the cover and the title — *Mainland Gestation Guide*.

Her entire body froze instantly.

She didn’t know how many times her scalp had gone numb over the last few days.

In her panic, she hurriedly poured a cup of hot tea.

The hand lifting the teacup was trembling slightly.

‘No way… no way… Did we really get lucky on the first try?’

‘Otherwise, why would Yegeerlinai be reading a book like that?’

After a long while, Aililan spoke as if she had made up her mind.

“Don’t worry, Diligence.”

“I will definitely take responsibility for you and our child.”

Yegeerlinai was stunned. “Child? What child?”

Then, she seemed to suddenly think of something.

Her face turned completely red.

“A… a child… actually, it’s not impossible.”

“But you have to let me prepare myself mentally first, okay?”

“When the time comes, I will definitely give birth to one for you… no, at least two or three.”

Aililan: “?”

Yegeerlinai continued, “But it’s really not possible right now.”

“And we can’t let the Sisters know, or they’ll really beat me to death.”

Aililan: “???”

She was stunned for a good while.

Only then did she slowly realize — she had guessed completely wrong.

Yegeerlinai wasn’t pregnant at all.

But if she wasn’t pregnant, then why was she reading that kind of book?

After a moment.

Yegeerlinai finally flipped to a certain page and said seriously, “Look, Chastity. It’s written in this gestation guide.”

“Unless specialized Gestation Magic is used, one will not become pregnant.”

“So, we were actually safe that night.”

Aililan blinked. “So… you came over specifically just to tell me this?”

Yegeerlinai nodded vigorously. “Yes.”

“I felt relieved after reading the book, and I wanted you to feel relieved as well.”

Aililan also let out a long sigh of relief. “So that’s how it is.”

The two chatted casually for a while.

The topics were all trivial.

When they ran out of things to say, they forced the conversation.

Aililan gradually became confused about Yegeerlinai’s purpose for coming.

After a long time, she asked tentatively, “Do you want to stay for lunch?”

Yegeerlinai nodded. “Sure, I happen to be a bit hungry.”

Another period of time passed.

Aililan felt more and more that something was off.

Finally, she couldn’t help but ask, “Linai, if there’s something on your mind, just say it.”

“As long as it’s within my power, I’ll definitely do it.”

Yegeerlinai’s eyes suddenly lit up. “You can, of course you can.”

Aililan was taken aback. “What?”

Yegeerlinai’s face turned completely red.

Her voice was as faint as the wind.

“I… I want to try again.”

Aililan didn’t react for a moment. “Try what?”

Yegeerlinai lowered her head and whispered, “I want… to do it with you again…”

Aililan froze for several seconds.

Then, her entire body shuddered.

She finally understood.

What Yegeerlinai meant by “trying again.”

She also finally realized — the other girl had developed a taste for it.

Aililan’s face was suddenly filled with conflict.

“This… this isn’t very good, is it?”

Yegeerlinai whispered, “It’s not like it’s the first time anyway.”

“And there won’t be a child.”

“It should be fine…”

Aililan: “…”

Yegeerlinai asked carefully, “Is it okay?”

Aililan couldn’t help but say, “Diligence, do you have any idea how much trouble we’ll be in if the Sisters find out about us?”

Yegeerlinai answered immediately, “As long as you don’t say anything and I don’t say anything, how would they know?”

Aililan was silent for a while.

Finally, she sighed.

“Then… just one last time today.”

“We can’t do this anymore in the future.”

Yegeerlinai nodded immediately. “Okay, the last time.”

She certainly knew this wasn’t quite right.

But she really liked the feeling of being with Aililan.

As long as they were careful.

The Sisters would definitely never find out.
