Realizing that he might not be able to win an argument with the other party, Yelagond, after recording his fingerprints, turned the tables and pulled Master Huang inside.

When the door opened, Yelagond was completely stunned.

My goodness, is this the same pit I slept in before?

The floor is still the same floor, but it looks like it's been polished to a shine, and the style of the living room has completely changed.

In the morning, the living room only had two beds and some simple furniture, but now it not only has a kitchen area but also two bedrooms.

Each room also thoughtfully has a nameplate attached.

The house has a warm color scheme, making it feel like a secret base inside a cave, with a treehouse-like atmosphere.

The luxuriousness of the decor is astonishing, with every detail meticulously crafted.

They even used some unknown equipment to dig several ventilation ducts, which were already decorated and connected to silent fans.

"Recreation room? What kind of place is that?"

Yelagond curiously opened the door, only to find a miniature movie theater, with a large pile of videotapes on a cabinet next to it.

But before she could figure out what was going on, she discovered another door on the right side of the movie theater.

Upon opening the door, I found several high-end-looking pieces of equipment inside, and a few objects that could be picked up by hand on the sofa next to them.

There was a sign hanging on the door that read "Game Room".

"Want to try out what games are? An ultimate sensory experience, a work of art created by humankind."

"A game? Is it something like throwing stones and skipping stones?"

"While both of these are fun, mine are even more fun. I can let you play a few games that are relatively easy to pick up first. You can complete them by following the tutorials."

Huang Cao pressed down on Yela's shoulders with both hands to make her sit down, then took out a side-scrolling shooting game from the cabinet next to her.

The game features a pixel art style and simple controls; you just need to walk, fire, and jump.

"This thing is called a gamepad. It connects wirelessly. The left side controls direction, and the right side controls the character for various precise maneuvers. Of course, you can also switch the two in the settings."

Huang Cao inserted the game cartridge into the device, and soon an unusual light flashed on the screen.

Amidst the Great Beast's curious expression, the tiny specks of light gradually formed a picture, and an unimaginable sense of shock overwhelmed her.

Light can actually be manipulated like this...

Siergrag is a very backward country. Even though it has recently come into contact with trains, its society is still based on a feudal aristocracy.

After Huang Cao helped her choose the language, he then taught her how to operate the equipment step by step.

After quickly familiarizing himself with the keys, Yelagond soon launched the game.

She quickly passed the easy tutorial level, and because she wasn't familiar with the controls, her character died twice.

"It doesn't seem very fun; it's pretty simple."

"Try again. You can't possibly not be able to get past the later mechanisms, can you?"

Master Huang's provocation was remarkably effective, instantly igniting the Great Beast's competitive spirit, which then spiraled out of control.

So all night long, the game room was filled with the girl's sighs and regrets.

After observing for several hours, Huang Cao figured out that Yelagond was actually the type who was both bad at the game and loved to play.

They even consulted themselves, asking if there were any shortcuts to completing this thing called a game?

In just one night, this god of Siergrag wanted to pack his bags and become the leader.

Chapter 479: Enia, the Muscle Saintess!

For a long time afterward, stimulated by the reward mechanism specially set up by Master Huang, Yelagond completely succumbed to video games.

She played video games for seven days and seven nights straight.

She finally put down the controller after she couldn't beat a level in a Souls-like game.

"So, if you give me Siergrag, you can play this fun game every day."

The Huang Cao continued to tempt her like a warp demon, but Yelagond was not a woman who could be easily conquered.

"Although this thing is fun, I believe that the future of Siergrag will create even more interesting things, and playing cannot replace eating. Just because I don't need to eat doesn't mean that the people of Siergrag don't need to eat."

"Yelagond won't be corrupted so easily," Huang Cao thought to himself, and thus abandoned his intention to continue tempting her for the time being.

"Alright, go take a shower first. You've been gone for seven days and seven nights, you must smell a bit."

"I think it's pretty good..."

"I'm going to play later, so hurry up and give me a bath!"

Unable to resist someone's insistence, Yelagond stretched and then left the room.

After Huang Cao saw her leave, he immediately set a password on the game console.

Given how quickly this guy gets addicted and his moral compass, Siergrag definitely won't let him go. It's better to use these little gadgets as a small incentive, rewarding him with a little playtime after he does something.

Just like fishing.

Fishing yields tens of grams of bait, while groundbait can weigh hundreds of kilograms.

The fish are already stuffed; how could they possibly bite again?

As expected, after taking a shower, Yelagond closed his eyes to rest for a few minutes, but soon wanted to continue the battle.

But it soon became apparent that some numbers needed to be entered to start the machine.

"Mr. Huang, that's very unfair of you. There's no way I could give you the Siergrag."

"Dad, stop playing video games and go out for some fun. You haven't been to work for days. Doesn't your Saintess mind?"

Speaking of this, Yelagond suddenly remembered that her identity seemed to be that of a handmaid serving the Saintess.

Counting from the first day of Huang Cao Siergrag, Yelagond has been absent from work for over a month.

"From now on, this gaming device of mine will be chargeable, but you can also bring the little Saintess of Siergrag here, you'll just have to pay double the price."

"This so-called price is probably what they want me to do for you. I would never betray them..."

"Don't think of me as the worst person. I just want you to help me transport something. The mountains around here have such a large difference in elevation, it's very difficult to transport anything. Even if I have a spaceship that can go up in the sky, it's not good to be seen by the Siergrag people every day."

Huang Cao continued, "Since you have the ability to teleport here, what's wrong with helping me transport some goods?"

Yelagond reluctantly believed the other party's story.

And they successfully ignored the fact that this cave was clearly their home, and that the other party wasn't paying them rent.

But now that the renovation is complete, she can only continue to enjoy the conveniences brought by modern civilization.

Hurriedly returning to her workplace, Yelagond once again transformed into Ya'er, gently taking up a broom and beginning to sweep the surrounding snow.

Thank goodness...

My little Saintess has just arrived in a new environment and is not yet familiar with this place, so she hasn't noticed that someone is missing.

Because of their faith, in Siergrag, religion is of paramount importance, and God truly exists.

There's absolutely no way anyone would dare to resist.

The Saintess's bell is also a mysterious artifact containing the power of Great Beast, and ordinary people cannot even get close to it.

Therefore, security at the summit of the Holy Mountain is naturally quite lax, but the second most frequent visitors are the Siergrag people.

If Huang Cao and his group dared to arrive here without reporting it, they would probably be detained on the spot, although theoretically they couldn't actually do so.

Ya'er's identity was certified by the previous Saintess, and recently the whole country has been busy with the succession of the Saintess.

Therefore, due to the influence of many factors, "Ya'er" was able to achieve the feat of disappearing for more than a month without being discovered.

However, things had to stop at this point. If they didn't resume work next month, even the most makeshift administrative body would notice something was wrong.

Could the excuse be that you were suddenly buried by an avalanche while walking on the road?

"May I ask who you are?"

Just then, Snowflake, who had just become Saintess, came out carrying a large bell.

"Your Saintess, I am your maid Ya'er. Please allow me to carry this bell; it is too heavy."

"No, the elders said this is a sacred object, and it must be carried with us at all times. It cannot be lent out casually, much less lost."

"Besides, I don't think this bell is very heavy, and it's also a test from Yelagond," Enia said matter-of-factly.

That's why my Saintess always has more muscles than brains.

Yelagond was somewhat embarrassed. No wonder his Saintess always looked so robust; it turned out the bell was too heavy.

In reality, there was a realistic factor behind Snowflake becoming Saintess, mainly because she was incredibly strong.

Before the Sivash couple met with their accident, Snowflake could easily overpower Enshiodis and Enshia by herself, taking on two opponents without flinching.

She is also extremely strong. This snow leopard has never lost a physical contest since she was a cub, but she just doesn't like to exercise most of the time.

"Are you really my maid? Why have I never seen you before?"

Snowflake raised a question, and Yelagond, who had already transformed into Ya'er, had already prepared an explanation.

"I've been dealing with the belongings left behind by the former Saintess for some time now, so please forgive me, Saintess Majesty... You can ask the Elder for information about me."

"I believe in you, because we both believe in Yelagond. From now on, you will stay by my side."

"This is the work I should do, Saintess Grace."

"Don't call me Saintess, you can call me by my name, Enia."

"That's against the rules, Yelagond will be angry."

"You're not Yelagond, so how do you know He would be angry? He is so loving, how could He possibly be angry over such a trivial matter?"

Ya'er was speechless, and she felt more and more that this Saintess seemed different from before.

He possesses the spirit of the Shivais Family, and is unwilling to admit defeat or submit to anyone.

"Okay, Enia," Ya'er said with a smile. "But I'd like to ask you, are there holidays when I work here? I have elderly parents at home to take care of."

"Of course! I'm not some devil. Didn't the Saintess of the past give you holidays?"

Ya'er: "The Saintess and the Elders have all the right to interpret the scriptures, so naturally they can't give us a holiday."

Ya'er lowered her head. Although the previous Saintess were all pretty much the same, some of them were workaholics, and chanting scriptures every day was driving her crazy.

Enia doesn't seem to be the type to enjoy chanting scriptures; hopefully, this generation's Saintess can make things a little easier for her.

"Is that so? It seems I'll have to explain the meaning of the scripture properly as well."

Enia switched the bell to her other hand. "What Enshiodis wants to do, I can definitely do too."

You are not Siergrag's savior! I can do it too!

Enia called Ya'er into the library of the Manzhuyuan, intending to spend about a year reading through all the documents.

However, she soon realized that this was a very difficult task.

Because within a few days, the Siergrag people began seeking blessings from the Saintess.

The busy administrative work that had accumulated over the past month was suddenly pushed onto Enia's shoulders.

Most of these matters could be handled by the elders, but many religious issues required the intervention of the Saintess.

This includes blessing newborn babies, but this blessing shouldn't be expected to be very effective; at most, it can only slightly boost their immunity.

In short, there were so many things to do, and I also had to stay up late every day to read the scriptures and make a separate list of the parts that needed to be deleted or revised.

Ya'er, who was transformed from Yelagond, naturally became Enia's good friend, and she saw the flame in the girl's heart.

The scriptures Enia listed in her notebook were basically shackles that restricted people's freedom.

This includes having to spend more than an hour praying every morning, which is a complete waste of time!

If it were just prayer, it wouldn't be a problem. The key issue is that the time for prayer is divided into different levels.

The three major families only need to pray for a few minutes, but ordinary people need to spend more than an hour expressing their faith to Yelagond before breakfast.

More importantly, prayer time takes up rest time.

The vast majority of Siergrag people originally had to get up at six or seven o'clock to work, but if they wanted to complete their prayers, they had to get up an hour earlier.

The Noble Lord above wouldn't care whether you prayed or not; if you were late, you'd be whipped—that was a double oppression, both physical and psychological.
