The Defeated Saintess Is On A Journey To Tame The Evil God Book 01 Chapter 01.03 - Little Evil God

Xing Mo was taken aback. The brand on her hand was shining, making her unable to move, yet the word "master" didn't come out of her mouth.

How is that possible?

Xing Mo quickly searched her soul and unexpectedly found that the brand didn't seem to have been implanted into her soul, but only into her body.

This isn't right... according to mystic knowledge, God's brand first affects the soul and then the body.

Does the lass's brand... only affect the body, not the soul? Why does this make it seem even more wicked...

Xing Mo and Aurora regarded one another. In a split second, she noticed a flicker of doubt in Aurora's eyes.

Not good! I can't let her discover this! This will be my trump card!

Xing Mo cleared her throat and then spoke in a low voice: "Master~"

Ahhhh! I sold my soul! To an Evil God!

Xing Mo roared in her heart. But on the surface, she tried to maintain a relatively calm expression.

After hearing the other party call her master, Aurora smiled brightly: "Good~ Continue to call me that in the future. As long as you listen well, I'll do my best not to use the brand against you~"

As Aurora spoke, the Tree of Life brand on Xing Mo's hand faded, and she regained control of her body.

After inspecting her hand, Xing Mo sighed lightly: "Then let's change clothes. If you enter the city like that, you'll be found out right away."

Indeed, a white-haired loli covered with flowers and plants will attract everyone's attention.

Aurora felt that it made sense and nodded: "But, there seem to only be nightgowns in the carriage. I can't get off wearing a nightgown, can I?"

"I have a trench coat I can lend you." Xing Mo sighed, "In any case, how did you get on the train? Dressed the way you are, carrying the unconscious me, did no one find it strange?"

To Xing Mo's surprise, upon hearing this, Aurora innocently tapped her lips with her index finger and raised her head, saying: "Since I was stuck with you, I knocked out a well-dressed gentleman, stole his private carriage ticket, and then just boarded the train."

Does being stuck with me justifies doing bad things?!

Catching the shade of dissatisfaction in Xing Mo eyes, Aurora waved her hand lightly: "I stuffed the money you had into his pocket. Since I didn't know how much the ticket cost, I gave him all your money."

"Do you think what you did was right?" Xing Mo asked, dumbfounded.

"Of course. As I said, I want to infiltrate, sneak into the Citadel. I have to do a stellar job so that no one can find any traces!" Aurora appears to be pleased with herself.

Xing Mo sighed and said: "Listen to me, cross-border steam locomotive requires the inspection of papers. Are you sure no one noticed anything when you got on?"

"Ah, actually, someone asked me about papers." Aurora smiled lightly.

"What did you do?"

"I used a trick. When she wakes up, she won't remember anything~"

Why does it feel like she's really unreliable... Xing Mo sighed repeatedly.

Upon noticing this, Aurora tilted her head and said: "What's there to sigh about? If someone were to discover me, I can get rid of them. I can turn them into puppets. The train will arrive at the Citadel without fail."

"You promised not to hurt anyone!" Xing Mo quickly interrupted Aurora's dark fantasy, "And besides, we're already close to the Citadel. If you were to harm anyone, the Citadel's White Tower would detect the Outer God aura, and Bellkeepers would be immediately dispatched. You wouldn't be able to evade them."

"So what? Aren't you also a Bellkeeper? They are no match for me~" Aurora covered her mouth with a hand.

Xing Mo awkwardly cleared her throat and continued: "When more than three Bellkeepers confirm they can't deal with a target, they will perform the Angels' Descent ceremony to summon Saint Angels subordinated to the Goddess of the Starsea. Thanks to the many Angel churches in the Citadel, they can smoothly descend onto Academia Autonomous Region."

"Saint Angels, that sounds troublesome." Aurora nodded, "Then why didn't you notify your comrades and had them summon the Angels?"

"Because your battle would have been earth-shattering." Xing Mo lowered her head, "Perhaps the entire continent would have been destroyed as a result. I don't want this kind of thing to happen..."

Aurora remained silent for a moment, then lifted Xing Mo's chin and showed a brilliant smile: "My Young Saintess is really kind~"

To be praised by an Evil God for being kind... why does it feel so strange?

Xing Mo sighed again. While maintaining a cold expression, she threw the trench coat at Aurora: "Anyway, put this on. Let's get off at the Northern Station and go to my residence."

As she spoke, the locomotive's whistle sounded, and the train turned in the green field, breaking through the curtain of rain.

Xing Mo and Aurora looked out the window at the same time. On the seaside cliff at the end of the field, there stood a majestic white city. The curtain of rain abated and then was replaced by brilliant sunlight. White doves flew out from the city's outline, gliding across the rainbow that appeared after the rain cleared.

The Citadel of Academia was a shining pearl of the Vestan Continent.

Whenever she looked at this city from afar, Xing Mo always felt a kind of shock coming from the bottom of her heart.

While she was lost in thought, she heard the sound of huge wings break through clouds, and then saw an ice blue Dragon fly past the locomotive and sweep through the residual clouds above the seaside cliff, heading east.

That should be a Dragon returning from Mordheim, flying toward the Yanxian Empire at the East Sea. Even mythical creatures can't tolerate the harsh winter of the polar region. They will return in the spring of the following year.

Xing Mo turned her head and was surprised to find that Aurora's eyes were filled with yearning, like a child seeing her favorite toy.

Unlike the gaze of an invader, it's more like the gaze of a kitten hesitating at the entrance of an alley, staring at the bright sunlight outside, lost in thought.

As Xing Mo's outlook regarding Aurora changed, the loli spoke up excitedly: "That Dragon seems more suitable to be my retainer than you! I will turn it into a puppet and ride it to the Citadel!"

Okay, that's indeed the expression of a child looking at a toy... in the worst possible way.

......

A few hours later, the steam locomotive entered the Citadel's gate and finally stopped at the Northern Station.

Xing Mo promptly put up her hood, then cleared her throat and bent her knees to look at Aurora: "Listen, from now on, you are my sister, do you understand?"

"What are you talking about? I am your master." Aurora frowned unhappily.
