The Defeated Saintess Is On A Journey To Tame The Evil God Book 01 Chapter 01.02 - Little Evil God

"That depends. At that time, if I like your city, I might build my base in it~"

When Aurora spoke, a sinister gleam streaked across her blood-red eyes, causing Xing Mo to shiver.

The lass... sure enough, she is a little Evil God... Anyway, I need to find a way to drive her away...

However, to banish an Evil God, it is easier said than done. The lass is a God. In order to banish her, a large-scale ritual magic is needed...

I need to return to the Citadel first, and then report this to Instructor and discuss how to proceed forward.

And... why have I become a girl? Will I be able to revert?

Xing Mo secretly sighed in her heart.

Anyway, I need to placate the lass first.

Although she is powerful, but her mentality seems to be that of a small girl. Playing the role of her servant doesn't seem to be too difficult.

After making a cool-headed assessment, Xing Mo came to the conclusion that escape was out of the question, leaving her with only one choice.

She will play the role of Aurora's Saintess and pretend to help her, all the while biding her time and looking for an opportunity to drive her away in one go!

That's really a shameful plan... I am a guardian of the Citadel, a Bellkeeper of the White Tower, But now I'm going to betray the Goddess and become a servant of an Evil God?

The Goddess will surely forgive me... this can't be considered a betrayal...

Xing Mo raised her head, looked straight at Aurora sitting on top of her, and summoned her courage: "If you want me to help you infiltrate the Citadel, then we'll need to sign a contract."

Curses! Why does my voice sound so lovely and pitiful! It's as if it is coming from a pitiful girl!

Xing Mo secretly balled her fists under the blanket, while Aurora burst into a brilliant smile: "Oh? You want to make a deal with an Evil God? This is the first time I've seen such a... clever character like you."

"You must promise not to hurt people and not to reveal your identity." Xing Mo said stubbornly.

Aurora paused for a moment, and then smiled: "Young Saintess... I'm an Evil God. What makes you think you can haggle with me?"

"Then... then kill me... I won't help you..." Xing Mo tilted her head back and closed her eyes tightly, trembling slightly.

After a moment, she heard Aurora speak in a light tone: "Alright... if no one harms me, I'll try my best not to harm anyone."

Xing Mo opened her eyes and found Aurora's heart-shaped pupils beating rapidly.

"You'll try your best?" Xing Mo asked back.

"Not satisfied? Would you prefer to die?" Aurora's eyes darkened.

"No, no, no! Then... you'll try your best it is!" Xing Mo quickly waved her hands.

"Scared you~" Aurora showed a playful smile. The vines binding Xing Mo's wrist unfurled.

Xing Mo sat up, looked at her fair, slender wrists, and sighed: "Then... the contract is settled then?"

"Hmm~ you'll help me steal your Goddess's secrets, and I'll try my best not to hurt anyone, that's it~" Aurora smiled brightly.

Seeing that the white-haired loli looks happy, Xing Mo let out a deep breath.

Turned into a girl by the enemy, then forced to serve her, and finally compelled to help her transgress against the Goddess you believe in, how many more unfortunate things can befall one person?

Even though her actions were an act of blasphemy against the Goddess, but this was the only thing Xing Mo could think of on a short notice to minimize the damage.

Now she had to find an opportunity to get in touch with her instructor and hold a banishment ceremony.

So long as the banishment ceremony was successful, the lass was done for.

The higher you climb, the harder the fall.

Xing Mo showed a faint smile, saying lightly: "Then, can..."

"The Tree of Life has already marked you." Aurora stood up from Xing Mo's bed and stretched her body like a kitten, "I knew you would agree, so I secretly branded you while you were asleep... Don't worry, it wasn't in a strange place~"

At the same time, a faint sting transmitted from the back of Xing Mo's left hand.

She raised her hand and saw green lines of light on the back of her hand, creating a complex and elegant symbol in the shape of the Tree of Life.

The brand was connected to the soul and interfered with it.

In other words, Aurora already planted a seed in Xing Mo's soul.

She had become Aurora's retainer.

Xing Mo raised her head and saw a bright gleam in Aurora's blood-red eyes, which faded in the next moment. Subsequently, Aurora uttered with a radiant and lovely smile: "Then, I'll be in your care, Ms. Saintess~"

......

Half an hour later, Xing Mo stood in front of the mirror and scanned her reflection.

Flawless skin, sylphlike figure, long black hair cascading over the shoulders like a waterfall, emerald green eyes glistening in the dim carriage.

No matter from what angle you look, this is a very beautiful girl...

But this is me...

Xing Mo took a deep breath. Although her appearance before the transformation was delicate and pretty, but this was too much.

How do I explain this to Instructor... I was cursed by the Evil God and became a girl?

Speaking of which, how do I live as a girl...

Xing Mo sighed. Ever since she was little, she was reclusive and had practically no friends.

She had a senior who often played with her due to her pretty appearance, braiding her hair and so on.

Her senior always muttered, "If only you were a girl, Mo-mo." And now she really became a girl.

Can't let her discover... I need to find a way to change back before she finds out!

Xing Mo covered her face with her hands, took a deep breathed, and then breathed out, calming herself.

She quickly changed into a spare robe she got from a trunk, covered her figure with the loose robe, and tied her hair into a bun, so that it can be easily hidden under the hood later.

When she was done, she turned, looked at the desk by the window, and found Aurora reclining against the glass, looking outside.

In the faint reflection in the window, Xing Mo saw Aurora's seemingly sparkling eyes: "Your world is very beautiful, Young Saintess."

Xing Mo walked up to the window and looked out at the green field: "We are about to cross the border of the Republic of Fallou and enter Academia Autonomous Region. We will reach the Citadel in less than an hour."

"Academia, what an impressive name." Aurora smiled lightly.

"The city was originally a territory of the Kingdom of Messina. After the Artistic Revolution in the year 3036, the Citadel achieved independence with the help of the then Fallouan and Machiavellian Empires and became an autonomous territory. It drew scholars, artists, merchants, and students from various countries and became the most prosperous hub on the entire Vestan Continent."

Xing Mo gave a brief explanation, but Aurora impatiently tapped her cheek with a finger: "No history lessons~ Tell me about fun places there are in the Citadel~"

"Aren't you trying to infiltrate our world, Young Ancestor?" Xing Mo furrowed her pretty eyebrows, "If you don't have a good understanding of our world, how do you intend to start?"

"Can't go wrong by starting from the place where Wizards gather. After all, you worshipers of mysticism like to hide nice things on altars."

Aurora smiled slightly, then turned and tilted her head toward Xing Mo: "And enough with the ancestor nonsense. Call me master~"

When she heard that, Xing Mo frowned and took a couple of steps back, subconsciously trying to reach the wand at her waist.

But then the brand on her hand grew increasingly brighter, making her unable to move.

"I forgot to tell you. Due to the brand, your body and soul belong to me now~"

Aurora smiled innocently: "That is to say, no matter what I ask you to do or say, you will have to comply obediently~"

Shoot... This is bad... If what she says is true, then wouldn't it mean that I can't fight back at all.

Xing Mo tried to move her body and found that—as Aurora said—she couldn't move.

Looking at Xing Mo's lovely and pitiful expression, Aurora chuckled softly and said in a low voice: "Now, Young Saintess, call me master."

However, just as Xing Mo was about to accept her fate, she found that her mouth was still closed, as if out of Aurora's control.

What's going on? The brand doesn't work properly?
