“Huh? It’s only been a few days since I last hit you, and you’re already going against me again?”
While Little Mist and Wilona were still happily hanging out by the Giant Pit, Truth used God’s Perspective to eavesdrop on their conversation word for word without missing a single line.
She didn’t expect that Little Mist would actually choose to mimic her in order to lie, hmph, that snake was making progress.
So when the time comes, she’ll get to sit at the same table as Tia, and the punishment will definitely be postponed.
She’ll keep kneading Little Mist after that.
That snake never seems to learn her lesson, it’s about time she showed her how cruel the world really is!
And before all that, Truth put away her divine thoughts and turned her gaze back to Di Lisha, who was curled up completely, her graceful limbs exposed.
Thanks to the Mist’s continuous forced demands, Di Lisha was now only wearing a few pieces of undergarments, and her emotions were getting just a little worked up…
……
In the mist, Di Lisha, who could barely take it anymore, shouted with boundless shame.
The thing she wanted most right now was to end this inexplicable test immediately and go back.
“I’m not doing this anymore!”
She originally thought it was just some routine little tests, like touching stone pillars or answering trivia with no prizes, but instead they started off with something this big!
Under the Mist’s demands and Truth’s various persuasions, Di Lisha had actually believed at first that just taking off her coat would be enough.
But then it became all about “feeling nature,” letting her body and mind enter a state of “harmony” with nature, which sounded completely vague and confusing…
It wasn’t until she tried taking off a few pieces that Di Lisha finally realized the Mist’s ultimate goal seemed to be making her do something shameless, and Truth was an accomplice to the Mist!
“I don’t want to do any tests anymore, I give up! Hurry up and take this blindfold off me and give me back my clothes!”
Di Lisha, who still couldn’t see anything, shouted at Truth beside her.
Due to the intense shame, her body gradually began to tremble slightly.
It was the kind of trembling like someone had pressed a remote switch on her…
And she wasn’t even fully undressed yet.
“No can do. Once a test starts, it can’t be stopped. Until you reach the finish line, there’s nothing I can do either.” Truth replied flatly.
“What kind of nonsense rule is that!” Di Lisha seemed to be cracking a little.
“You Silvians really are all barbarians who cling to outdated customs for centuries! You rely on being the God’s Divine Chosen to occupy the best lands in the world, but you don’t even know how to use them! Every day you just waste time in strange places doing incomprehensible tests that no one can understand. Honestly… you’re utterly backward!”
Di Lisha, an upper-class citizen from Wangsheng City, expressed her sincere thoughts to the country bumpkin Truth.
“No wonder your reputation is so bad over in the Land of Exile! So it’s not baseless after all. Compared to you people, even the Land of Exile looks progressive!”
“And whenever I think about how our Wangsheng City was forced into a corner of the world by low-class Divine Chosen like you, I feel nothing but rage. I also can’t understand why Father would stoop so low as to come here and negotiate with you, the Ninth Saintess. People like you don’t deserve negotiation at all! You just had me, a guest from afar, strip off my clothes and do these shameful things in this godforsaken Mist!”
“I’m the one and only pearl of Wangsheng City! Even the fish in the Wangsheng River know to flatter me. Being able to look at you directly is the greatest blessing you underground dwellers could ever receive. A dog of the God like you shouldn’t be on equal footing with me. I’m sick of pretending to be a good girl with you here. You, a Life Saintess, should just get down and…”
“I’m also undressed right now.”
“You should just… wait, what did you say?”
“I said I’m just like you right now. Whatever you took off, I took off too.”
That single sentence instantly silenced Di Lisha, and for a moment, her mind raced with wild thoughts, her expression going blank.
Are you saying that the Ninth Saintess beneath the Seat of the Goddess of Life is standing right next to her in the exact same state?
“R… really? I feel like you’re lying to me, because I can’t see anything right now…” Di Lisha demanded nervously.
“I’m not lying to you. Right now, I’m just like you, wearing a blindfold I can’t take off and unable to see anything. I also have the Mist’s voice in my head. The only difference is that I knew the Mist’s ultimate goal was to get us like this, so I folded my clothes in advance.”
“Huh?!”
“Don’t believe me? Then how about this.”
“How about what? Huh…”
At that moment, Di Lisha suddenly felt a pair of warm little hands touch her shoulder, then those hands slowly slid down her arm until they grabbed her wrist.
“Truth, is… is that you?”
“Yes, since I can’t see, this is the only way to find your hand.”
After Truth said that, Di Lisha felt her left hand being gently pulled away and placed onto a spot that was warm and very smooth.
……
Wait, where did Truth… where did she put my hand?! Is she making me touch her body? Then where on her body did she put my hand?!
Smooth, soft, could it be…
It’s the shoulder.
“Can you feel it? I’m just like you right now.”
Before Di Lisha could finish savoring her wild imagination, Truth let go of her hand, leaving the latter utterly stunned.
If the Ninth Saintess Truth had been in the same state as her the whole way… then she wasn’t embarrassed at all?!
“Saintess, you… don’t you feel ashamed?”
“Of course I’d be lying if I said no. But I thought about it, there’s no one watching us on this whole road, and the two of us can’t see each other either. Even if we’re like this, so what?”
“R… really no one?”
“No one. At most, a few small animals pass by.”
“But even so, I still feel…”
“There’s a first time for everything, you know. The reason you feel shy is precisely because you’re a pure person. Isn’t that the whole point of this test?”
“So this is how they test purity?!”
Di Lisha still wanted to curse a little, but since even the Saintess was like this… fine, since no one could see anyway, dragging things out here was just wasting time.
She might as well finish quickly and escape this godforsaken place!
Gradually, Di Lisha gritted her teeth lightly and slowly moved her hand to the button of her undergarment…
……
“Come on, Truth, let me take you to my Staff Dormitory. I’ll change my clothes, and then we can discuss how to escape together, meow!”
While Truth was playing with Di Lisha, Little Mist, who still hadn’t figured out how to escape the Mist’s evil grasp, was being dragged by Wilona toward the Mist Core Zone.
When she heard “Staff Dormitory,” Little Mist was startled. Isn’t that Truth’s House of Truth?!
What if she ran into Truth herself there? No, she needed to scout ahead!
So Little Mist immediately used her Authority to locate Truth. Soon, guided by her Authority, Little Mist found Truth in the Mist Core Zone.
As if sensing Little Mist’s gaze, Truth, wearing a Priest Robe, smiled and waved at Little Mist in greeting.
She looked completely normal, like she was just taking a casual stroll in the Mist.
But the next second, Truth’s face turned playful, and she used both hands to point toward one side, wiggling her fingers, signaling Little Mist to look to the left. She even whispered mischievously:
“Ta-da~”
Little Mist instinctively looked to the left, and that’s when she noticed there was another girl beside Truth.
Wait, why wasn’t this girl wearing any gear at all?
And even ignoring the lack of gear, she also had a pure black blindfold over her eyes, her face was flushed red, her slender hands could barely cover parts of her body, and she was stumbling along, seeming to be on the verge of tears?
Truth was showing off her new temporary toy to Little Mist, the pearl of Wangsheng City, Di Lisha.
And showing her to Little Mist didn’t count as being seen by humans, since Little Mist was a snake, and Truth herself went without saying, she wasn’t a human species either…
“This girl…”
Little Mist was shocked, then furrowed her brow. Damn it, Truth was bullying someone again!
“Oh? You’re looking at me with displeasure?” Truth sensed Little Mist’s mood and narrowed her eyes with a smile, thinking to herself:
“Don’t rush, you’re next! And that cat too! Oh right, and Tia as well. You all need correcting!”
