Little Angel

Lu Xing was speechless. The common sense of this other world was vastly different from Earth. A simple sentence, a single action, could expose the fact that he wasn't Miss Anne.

The maid with emerald green eyes softened her voice again: "Miss Anne, please get up and get dressed first. Later, I will send someone to inform the professors that they don't need to come and teach you today."

"Okay!"

Lu Xing breathed a sigh of relief. No matter what, he had managed to get by for now.

After getting out of bed, the head maid knelt down to put on his shoes, then led him to the dressing mirror. The maids skillfully came forward to untie the silk pajamas. After they were removed, the delicate and slender body of Miss Anne was revealed in the mirror. The young girl's body was fair and beautiful, her legs white and long. Lu Xing quickly closed his eyes, letting them do as they pleased.

He had originally wanted to say that he could dress himself, but seeing the clothes and jewelry held by seven or eight personal maids, he decisively gave up that idea.

"Do you want to rest today?"

The head maid asked softly while combing her hair.

"Yes."

"There is a concert this afternoon. You made an appointment with Miss Meriel and others to attend."

"Help me decline that too!"

Lu Xing quickly said.

The head maid agreed.

The luxurious dress was put on, the golden long hair was combed, and several maids stepped back. One of them came forward holding a box. Lu Xing looked and saw that it contained more than a dozen gem ornaments shimmering with a faint light. They seemed to be magical accessories unique to this world, used to complement clothing.

Lu Xing casually picked a necklace and held it in his hand, but the maid took it and put it on him.

Catherine looked at Miss Anne Weisz Swinton in the mirror. This necklace didn't match her.

"Madam will have breakfast with you later. This is the jewelry Madam gave you last year. If you wear it, Madam will be happy to see it."

Catherine picked a hair accessory and handed it to him with a smile.

Seeing this cold and elegant maid smile for the first time, Lu Xing was distracted, and the hair accessory fell onto the carpet. He bent down to pick it up and handed it to her.

Catherine's gaze fell on his chest, and doubt arose in her heart. She tried saying, "You made an appointment with Miss Julia to attend the concert this afternoon. The Elf bard Mr. Noi has traveled to the Northern Region, and you have been looking forward to it for a long time. Do you really want to decline?"

There are Elves too?

Lu Xing hesitated. It seemed this concert was very important, but if he went and socialized with friends, the possibility of being exposed was very high.

Damn Life Experience Game, why couldn't he talk to Miss Anne? Without communication, he didn't understand anything. What kind of experience was this?!

He was purely serving a prison sentence now!

Seeing that Anne didn't question the name Julia, Catherine's heart sank. She picked up another accessory from the box, glanced at her, and then subtly placed it on her golden hair.

Stepping back two steps, and seeing no movement from the hair accessory, Catherine finally felt a little relieved.

After some fuss, the elegant dress and expensive jewelry were finally put on.

Lu Xing stood up and looked at himself in the mirror—that is, Miss Anne's appearance. A hint of amazement flashed in his eyes.

This noble lady from the magic world had an exquisitely beautiful small face. Her skin was already fair, and after wearing the magical jewelry, Lu Xing could feel a faint magical power flowing within her body, making Anne's skin even more snow-white and crystal clear. Her golden long hair was infused with magic, as if the setting sun was shining on it, and the golden hair bloomed with scattered points of light.

Lu Xing raised his hand, and the pigeon-egg-sized sapphire on his finger stimulated a surge of magic, which flowed and condensed at the slender, scallion-like fingertips, scaring him into stopping quickly.

He couldn't use magic, but Miss Anne could!

Lu Xing was almost certain that Anne's beautiful and expensive jewelry – rings, hairpins, necklaces, bracelets, etc. – were not just for show, but were inscribed with powerful magic.

Even the colorful pearls embedded in her unknown leather shoes and the light blue patterns embroidered on her white silk stockings contained powerful magic.

She was practically a walking arsenal!

"Miss Anne?"

Catherine cast a suspicious glance again. Was her young mistress captivated by her own reflection in the mirror?

"No, nothing."

Lu Xing winked at the Anne in the mirror. Instantly, the image of a lively, cheerful, cute, and mischievous noble lady from the magic world appeared in Lu Xing's eyes, causing him to lose himself for a moment.

Miss Anne wasn't an arsenal.

She was practically a lively little angel!

He couldn't help but wonder how cute and beautiful the original owner of this body, Anne herself, would look when controlling her own body to make various expressions.

Lu Xing wasn't a pervert; he simply wanted to appreciate beauty.

Half an hour later.

After serving the esteemed madam and having breakfast with the lovely but strange Miss Anne, Catherine went to the Magic Tower alone and told Miss Philys Esselen, the mage, what had happened that morning.

"You suspect Anne has been invaded by an evil spirit?"

Philys, who had been leaning back in her chair behind the desk, sat up straight and asked her with a serious expression.

So-called evil spirits refer to mages and priests who have lost their bodies for some reason. Their souls wander the world, constantly seeking to occupy a young and healthy body.

And because the less resistance the invaded person offers, the easier it is for the evil spirit to possess them, evil spirits usually bewitch others, causing them to gradually lose their minds and eventually willingly allow the evil spirit to invade their bodies.

"Yes!"

Catherine described in detail Miss Anne's abnormalities that morning, from her demeanor, language, to her actions. "She became afraid of classes, lied about being sick, didn't recognize her magic jewelry, seemed not to know how to use magic, didn't realize that the Julia I mentioned was a fake name, and didn't cover her chest when bending down to pick something up."

Philys's face was solemn.

Catherine continued, "Fortunately, Her Highness the Saintess once gave her a blessed piece of jewelry. I put it on Miss Anne, and the purifying holy power within the jewelry was not activated."

Jewelry from the Church of the Holy Light Goddess possesses the power to purify evil. Ordinary evil spirits dare not approach it, and even if the body is invaded, the jewelry given by the Saintess can suppress the evil spirit's power and call Miss Anne's soul back.

This made Philys feel a little relieved.

She pondered for a while and said to Catherine, "Go back and bring Anne to the back garden. I will observe her carefully with the Eye of the Magic Tower."

Philys was Duke Swinton's family mage, and the Magic Tower was next to the Duke's castle.

"Thank you, Miss Philys. It is her honor to have an elder like you taking care of Miss Anne."

Catherine bowed to her gratefully.

The originally serious Philys became annoyed. "What are you saying? Anne and I are good friends. I'm not even a hundred years old! According to the customs of the Elf race recorded in books, I'm not even an adult yet!"

Catherine looked at her pointed ears, unique to Elves, and the voluptuous figure beneath her nightgown that Elves didn't possess. She nodded slightly, then turned and left.

Left behind, Philys annoyedly rubbed her messy light green long hair. She looked down, sighed, and said, "Do I really not look like an Elf at all? Should I dress more elegantly, like an Elf?"

She made up her mind: from now on, she would definitely wear formal clothes when meeting outsiders!

Evening.

"Ah!!!"

A young girl's scream rang out. The maids in Duke Swinton's castle and the gardeners tending to the flowers and plants in the garden all heard this scream filled with shock.

Although everyone was curious, it didn't cause too much commotion.

Because they recognized it as Miss Anne's scream.

Though today's scream was indeed a bit louder.

Catherine hurried to her room and quickly saw Anne sitting on a high-backed chair, holding a piece of paper with writing on it. Her rosy little face was full of disbelief.

"Miss Anne, what's wrong?"

Somehow, seeing Anne with such a shocked expression, Catherine felt relieved. This was the usual Miss Anne!

The Miss Anne from earlier today was too strange.

"Dear Catherine!!!"

Anne, with her beautiful golden long hair, quickly waved at her. Seeing Catherine walk over and look at the paper in her hand, she quickly put the paper away.

Catherine noticed her little action. It was very clearly, very Anne!

"What happened?"

Catherine asked her.

Anne widened her eyes and looked at her, asking, "Catherine, was I very strange this morning?"

No, you were strange all day!

Catherine said in her heart.

Anne then extended a slender finger and pointed to her skirt: "Did I pull up my skirt and look inside to see if it was, if it was..."

She stammered, her cute face blushing with embarrassment.
