Saya's Agony (4)

Little Saya's heart skipped a beat for no reason; her long eyelashes seemed to tremble, and her gaze drifted to the side involuntarily. She even seemed afraid to look at Qin Chu's face.

Does he care about himself a lot?

"Then, what about Adelina? Such a beautiful woman, you're just going to give up like that?"

Qin Chu shrugged. "What can we do? We can't just stand by and watch you leave and return to the Demon King's Castle alone, can we?"

Little Saya smiled slightly, but quickly hid it, making sure Qin Chu didn't notice.

But what's so special about this guy?

Does this mean that in his heart, he is more important than that woman Adelina?

Little Saya was a little annoyed at her own uselessness, because she could actually feel happy over such a small thing; she was really too useless.

Athena smiled gently from behind. She knew that Little Saya's resentment had basically disappeared the moment her master appeared. Now, all she needed to do was give her a little push from behind... So, Athena reached out and gave Little Saya a push from behind.

Eeya!

A beautiful sound came from Little Saya's cherry lips.

Although she was very strong, this was something that Little Saya had not expected at all.

She staggered forward and lunged into Qin Chu's arms, pressing her head against Qin Chu chest. She could hear Qin Chu strong heartbeat.

Qin Chu was momentarily stunned.

He only saw Athena winking and making faces at him, her lips moving constantly. From the shape of her lips, Qin Chu could tell:

Hold her, quickly hold her.

Stupid owner, what are you standing there for? Go get him!

Little Saya's heart was pounding with panic. Just as she was about to break free, she felt a pair of strong arms encircle her body.

The soft body instantly became scalding hot.

Despite possessing immense strength, at this moment he felt utterly powerless, unable to muster even the slightest bit of energy.

The familiar feeling brought by her previous self swept over her like a tide, and the taste that Little Saya had tried so hard to suppress was constantly stimulating her already hazy soul.

Little Saya knew in her heart that she had to break free from Qin Chu immediately, otherwise something very, very bad would definitely happen.

However, that strange longing deep inside grew stronger and stronger.

Her slender body was trembling uncontrollably.

"Ah, I suddenly remembered something very important to do, Master. Remember to bring Miss Saya home. I'll be going now." Athena's voice came from the side as she read.

With a charming smile, she smiled at Qin Chu, and a whirlwind rose from her feet, instantly disappearing from the spot while enveloping Athena's body, giving Little Saya no chance to stop her.

For a moment, in the woods outside the city, under the moonlight, only Qin Chu and Little Saya remained.

The silence amplified Little Saya's confusion and panic.

Despite being the most powerful Dark Witch, Little Saya's trembling body made her look rather pitiful at this moment.

The little head lifted slightly in Qin Chu, her crimson eyes sweeping across Qin Chu's face before immediately looking elsewhere. Her slender body twisted gently. "You, you let me go... um..."

Before she could finish her sentence, Little Saya's eyes suddenly widened, and her lips were sealed with a kiss.

Her already supple body lost all its strength in that instant; if Qin Chu hadn't been holding her, she probably would have collapsed to the ground long ago.

On the other side, Athena, who had already flown quite far away, finally slowed down.

A hint of smugness even appeared on her alluring face.

Given her owner's personality, she could easily guess what would happen next.

Even if Little Saya disagrees, I've built up the atmosphere for so long, it's probably not an option to back out now.

Well, Athena wasn't too happy about the fact that her master had more and more women around him.

This is a very normal thought for a woman, but... Athena knew that Qin Chu had provoked some extremely terrifying beings, and when it came to fighting those beings, there was very little she, Sylph, Ekaterina, and other women could do to help.

If a powerful Witch like Little Saya could stay by her master's side, her chances of survival would probably be much better, right?

Of course, this is not only for the master, but also for himself.

Within her soul space, there are also five statues of Evil God... She, too, is someone targeted by Evil God.

Moreover, in the past few days, she has been plagued by nightmares almost every night, dreaming of those ugly, grotesque, and twisted monsters in the Void, which terrifies Athena.

On the other side.

The Imperial City of the Orwell Empire.

The Holy Church.

The mighty Dark Witch Saya Nicholas has now brazenly appeared at the Holy Church, acting as if she were the Pope's representative.

There are currently a great deal of things to deal with within the Holy Church.

First and foremost is the rebuilding of the Church.

Saya Nicholas handed this matter over to Ampton.

Ampton had been criticized by some for embezzling six million Mana, and he felt guilty about it, so Ampton worked extra hard. Rebuilding the Church was a very complicated matter, and it was the most suitable person to entrust it to someone as meticulous as Ampton.

Moreover, to prove that he had reformed, Ampton was extremely careful with his accounts, leaving no shortfall even for a single Mana.

The reconstruction of the Holy Church is now on track, and in at most another six months, it should be able to restore its former glory.

Veronica was in charge of recruiting new believers, and her results were quite good.

After the so-called miracle occurred on the first day, it immediately created an almost terrifying propaganda effect. By the second day, the temporary work site set up by the Holy Church in the Commoners' District was already overwhelmed by layers upon layers of elderly civilians.

Eggs were given away for free, and there were even steamed buns and bread!

Can one obtain it simply through sincere prayer?

This is absolutely a gift from the Goddess of Holy Light.

Veronica specifically sought out some eloquent priests who, while the elderly people were praying, would give them a 360-degree, all-around brainwashing... no, a lecture.

They even used Holy Light and Holy Church to heal some elderly people who had been suffering from chronic illnesses, in order to add some credibility to their lectures.

Under these circumstances, the number of believers increased by hundreds of thousands in just a few days.

Judging from the situation, it won't be long before all the elderly people in the city become devout followers of the Goddess of Holy Light.

Once the Church is rebuilt, facilities such as welfare homes and orphanages can be opened to accommodate a new batch of young believers.

As for Saya herself, she was naturally in charge of financial matters.

After collecting all the items, Mana finally finished. Saya Nicholas even had an extra ring on his finger. This ring contained nothing but hundreds of similar storage rings.

These hundreds of storage rings were all filled with Mana and Holy Crystal.

The thought of those billions of dollars made Saya beam with joy.

When Qin Chu returned, he took out one hundred Mana tokens to represent the collected tokens, and then insisted on taking seventy percent of them for himself...

Just as I was calculating things in my mind, a familiar feeling came from my lips.

Then, strange sensations began to emanate from every sensitive part of my body—my chest, waist, hips, and legs.

A layer of mist quickly filled her crimson eyes.

Chapter Three is here. Chapter Four will be updated around 9 PM.

Chapter 458 Saya's Pain (4)

As he was counting the money, Saya Nicholas's face flushed instantly, his breathing became extremely rapid, and his chest heaved quickly.

After the initial surprise, Saya quickly realized what had happened to her.

Saya will never forget that familiar feeling.

Even though Qin Chu wasn't in front of her, Saya could clearly feel those strong arms embracing her tightly, feeling every inch of her skin being touched.

Inside the room, Saya alone, her eyes filled with a languid gaze.

Is this what another version of myself once experienced?

When something like this actually happens to you, it feels quite surreal.

Of course, as someone who's been through it all, Saya isn't afraid.

A smile quickly appeared on Saya's face... She really underestimated Qin Chu; he was quick to act.

According to Saya's original plan, it would have taken a long time for her other self to fall into her trap, but unexpectedly, this trip to Exeter solved the problem directly?

That would save us a lot of trouble.

Since my other self has already ended up like Qin Chu, the agreement the three of us made before is naturally worthless, right?

Saya's little face was full of a smug smile, but soon, her body shuddered, her pretty face instantly contorted in pain, and a cry of pain escaped her cherry lips, "Ouch, that hurts..."

My body was trembling.

Saya then remembered that when she was with Qin Chu before, she was a pure energy being.

But the other self is a real, flesh-and-blood being.

A tearing pain was transmitted to Saya through the mysterious bond, and her beautiful face instantly turned pale.

At that moment, Saya finally understood how terrible everything her other self had gone through had been.

Leaving aside the situation in Saya, let's look at the situation on the other side of the Imperial City.

Earth Mother Church.

A large number of high-ranking clergy members of the Church are gathered in the Sanctum.

Their faces clearly showed intense Wrath, directed at their revered, beautiful Wrath, elegant, and powerful Pope, Saint Monica.

This afternoon, all the high-ranking clergy of the Earth Mother Church received a message from Saint Monica: the Earth Mother Church will merge with the Holy Church, with the Holy Church taking the lead.

How is that possible?

When Saint Monica's order was relayed, the entire Divine Church was instantly thrown into chaos.

It was one thing when the Holy Church was powerful, but now Holy Church it has suffered a severe blow and its influence is far less than before.

This is a perfect opportunity to expand the influence of the Earth Mother Church. Moreover, with a large number of nobles recently converting to the faith, the Earth Mother Church's power is growing, and their status is rising accordingly. Yet His Holiness the High Priest actually wants to merge the Earth Mother Church with the Holy Church at this time?

Has she gone mad?

This order immediately drew a lot of opposition.

Almost all the high-ranking Knight, bishops, and archbishops were gathered here.

"Your Majesty, please consider this carefully. Our Earth Mother Church Cult has been passed down for thousands of years. How can it suddenly be interrupted in our generation?"

"That's right. The Earth Mother Church is currently the most influential religion on the Skyvault Continent. Forget about merging, I think it's the perfect opportunity to completely destroy the Holy Church and make the Earth Mother Church the only Church on the Skyvault Continent. That would be the most correct choice."

"I strongly disagree and will not teach."

Yes, I disagree.

A jumble of noises echoed through the Sanctum, but Saint Monica's exquisitely beautiful and gentle face maintained an elegant smile throughout, making Saint Monica seem even more beautiful than before.

Her skin was as clear and smooth as jade, as white and tender as snow.

Elegance and grace, charm and allure, are perfectly blended in Saint Monica.

Even today, despite Saint Monica being married and having a husband who is the commander of the Saint Monica of the Knight Order, she still has many suitors who want to win Saint Monica favor.

Saint Monica showed no Wrath at her subordinates' objections; she simply listened quietly.

After a considerable amount of time had passed and the surrounding noise had gradually subsided, Saint Monica finally spoke slowly, "Everyone, have you finished speaking? Now, can you please quiet down and listen to me?"

"Let me ask you a few questions first. Before this, how did the power of the Earth Mother Church compare to that of the Holy Church?"

Silence fell over the area.

Whether they are willing to admit it or not, before the upheaval and infighting within the Holy Church, the Church of the Earth Mother Church and its adversaries still had a huge and insurmountable gap.

"How does the power of the Earth Mother Church compare to that of the Empire?"
