The only Church of the Goddess of Life in Deya City had been cordoned off.
According to High Priest Ya and some Priestlings, it seemed the Ninth Saintess had been injured for some reason and needed to rest in the church, so it was best not to disturb her during this time…
In a room on the second floor of the church, after sending everyone away, Truth finally had some time to herself.
The first thing she did was check on Mist’s current condition…
Before leaving, the Goddess of Life had put a new anklet on Truth and said the anklet was actually quite useful—it allowed her to quickly seek help in critical moments.
In the past, Saintesses needed about ten seconds to call the Goddess of Life when they needed backup, but with the anklet, taking it off only required about three seconds.
So the Goddess of Life decided to make the anklet even easier to remove and planned to give one to every Saintess to optimize the backup-calling speed.
But she didn’t think that was enough.
Ever since the King Rank Blood Demon appeared, all her previous danger-warning designs had failed, including the Prophecy Goddess’s prophecies.
“Give me an explanation right now. Why didn’t you report the existence of that King Rank Blood Demon to me in advance?”
Back in the Divine Domain, the Goddess of Life immediately confronted the Prophecy Goddess Olivia. The latter hurriedly gave a very reasonable explanation:
“Goddess, have you forgotten? I’m only King Rank too! And that King Rank Blood Demon is an Assassin-type Demon. Its stealth ability can just barely counter my prophetic ability. That means I almost never have a way to predict what that Blood Demon wants to do…”
Ah, that’s true… The Goddess of Life finally let Olivia off and went to find the Order God and the Sea God to warn them about the existence of the King Rank Demon:
“Listen, what I’m about to tell you… Don’t be scared!”
……
“Tch, this anklet is so annoying!”
Truth, sitting on the bed, had been bothered by this Life Anklet the whole time.
After all, she was used to walking barefoot.
But if she took it off, she would have to put on another act of being captured by the Blood Demon, and she would also have to call Little Mist back to cover for her.
But before that, she had to deal with a bunch of things first. Starting with Mist.
After a rough check of Mist’s condition, Truth immediately became furious.
Although the Goddess of Life’s Holy Light Magic wasn’t as destructive to the environment as Ariel’s Heavenly Fire Meteor from back then, it had caused an even bigger impact!
Repairing Mist wasn’t a huge problem, but after sensing the violent tremors of Holy Light Magic, the Adventurers inside Mist were frightened and wanted to leave immediately.
This caused the number of Adventurers in Mist and the efficiency of energy accumulation to drop sharply.
That was absolutely unacceptable to Truth!
“I need to find a way to win back the Adventurers…”
Truth began planning in her mind. As for the work of repairing Mist… she’d let Little Mist handle it:
“You, go fill up that big pit the Goddess of Life made. Restore it exactly as it was before!”
“Huh? Me?!”
Little Mist, inside Mist, was stunned when she heard Truth’s voice. “But I’m not familiar with using Build Mode yet…”
“Doesn’t that give you a chance to get familiar with it? Hurry up. Don’t just hang around in Mist doing nothing. If you keep yapping, I’ll make you pay rent!”
“Wuwu…”
After ordering Little Mist, Truth turned her gaze to the Mist Core Zone…
Ten minutes later, in the Mist Core Zone.
“Predecessor Ariel, are you sure this is really… the Mist Employee Uniform?”
Inside Truth’s house, after Ariel relayed that “This is the Mist Lord’s request,” Wilona was forced to put on the Mist “Employee Uniform.”
At first, Wilona thought it looked like an ordinary Priest Robe from the outside.
But as she was putting it on, she began to feel something was off.
However, no matter how much she asked Ariel outside the dressing room, Ariel insisted it was normal and warned that if she didn’t get dressed quickly, the Mist Lord might get angry.
Helpless, Wilona had no choice but to steel herself and put on this strange Priest Robe.
Then she didn’t dare to come out of the dressing room:
“This is too…”
“Okay, hurry up and come out. The Mist Lord has just assigned you a task. If you keep stalling, you might not finish your work. You don’t want to get fired on your first day, do you?”
Ariel urged from outside. It was just putting on a Priest Robe—was there really a need to be so shy?
Even if it had been altered by a tailor, how different could a Priest Robe be?
“Are you really sure I have to go to work dressed like this?!” Wilona tried to confirm.
“Really. Okay, don’t stall anymore!”
Losing patience, Ariel pushed open the dressing room door and saw Wilona standing there awkwardly.
The two fell into a brief silence.
After a few breaths, Ariel’s eyes lit up:
“Wow, this is too… blasphemous…”
Wilona’s face was bright red. Through the thin fabric of the robe, her legs could be seen pressed together.
Unlike the usual thick Priest Robe, the fabric on Wilona’s body actually outlined her flat stomach and slightly rising chest, giving off an inexplicable erotic vibe…
Just this shouldn’t be enough to make her this embarrassed, right? Ariel thought.
She remembered that the Beastmen were supposed to be pretty open-minded—there were plenty of races with polyandry or polygamy.
And many of the bold human clothes nowadays came from the Northern Empire too.
“You’re surprisingly innocent. Just this is too much for you? Fine, come on out. At this level, no one will stare at you.”
Ariel said, exasperated. She stepped forward and took Wilona’s hand to lead her out.
But just as she grabbed Wilona’s hand, Ariel suddenly noticed Wilona’s smooth armpits… and the slight curve of her side…
“Wait!” Wilona immediately pulled her hand back and wrapped her arms around herself, her face even redder.
“I… I don’t know if I put this Priest Robe on correctly. I feel like… it’s too revealing…”
“Huh—” Ariel narrowed her eyes and quickly scanned Wilona from head to toe.
Then she placed both hands on Wilona’s shoulders and said firmly:
“You didn’t put it on wrong. This is exactly how it’s supposed to be!”
“Really?! But I feel like some of the fabric is missing…”
“No, it’s not. By the way, where else do you think you put it on wrong?”
Ariel’s voice was full of anticipation.
Actually, she didn’t know whether Wilona had put it on correctly either.
After all, she hadn’t even checked the clothes after receiving them.
They were just two Priest Robes.
But there was a big surprise inside!
“And here…” Under Ariel’s burning gaze, Wilona carefully shifted her right foot, revealing black footed stockings that reached up her thigh…
And it didn’t end there. Only then did Ariel notice that this Priest Robe had a slit design!
Whenever Wilona moved slightly, the footed black stockings under the robe would be half-hidden and half-revealed.
And if she looked up along those footed black stockings, she would find a seductive ribbon connecting to Wilona’s… This… This footed garter belt and black stockings!
“This is too… sexy…” Ariel’s nostrils flared slightly, unable to help but admire.
The design of this Priest Robe was absolutely astonishing!
From a distance, it looked plain and ordinary.
But up close, the robe could outline the wearer’s figure, radiating a strange eroticism.
And that was just a static display. If she moved…
The person who designed this outfit must be a pervert who’s absolutely astonishing!
To twist a dignified Priest Robe into such a contrast, such a blasphemy—this was basically taking a dump right on the Church of the Goddess of Life!
So who designed it? The tailor in Deya City? Or the Hermit?
“Hermit, did Cat… put it on wrong?”
Ariel asked in her mind.
Now she couldn’t be sure whether Wilona had put it on wrong or if the design was just too excellent.
So she decided to ask the Hermit.
“No.” The Hermit replied briefly.
“Woo hoo!” Ariel let out a dragon roar.
She didn’t expect Mist to be handing out benefits! Did that mean she could enjoy the sight of this erotic little cat full of allure every day now?!
Awesome. Since that was the case, she would just accept it gratefully. After all, she wasn’t the one wearing it!
“Wilona…” After spending some time calming down, Ariel said seriously to Wilona:
“You didn’t put it on wrong. This outfit is perfectly normal. You look very cute in it.”
“Really?”
“Really! Come on, walk out and take a couple of laps around so I can get a good look.”
Ariel pulled the still-shy Wilona slowly out of the dressing room.
Wilona remained half-convinced.
“But since Predecessor says so… I’ll trust it for now…”
Just then, the Hermit’s voice rang in Ariel’s mind again:
“Hey, don’t play dumb. There’s another outfit.”
“Another outfit?” Ariel was stunned. “What’s wrong with the other outfit?”
“You put it on too!”
“What?!”
