The Defeated Saintess Is On A Journey To Tame The Evil God Book 01 Chapter 02.07 - Little Trick

"Because what?" Aurora smiled, the gleam in her blood-red eyes growing stronger.

This was a large square. At the entrance of the large square, there were two young girls standing, one trembling, the other smiling brightly.

If anyone were to discover something wrong... no! Now is not the time to worry about this, but the time to worry about her blowing her top and doing something outrageous...

Xing Mo's mind revolved rapidly. After a moment, she decided to use the excuse she initially came up with: "I... I wrote a letter to the magic academy! To apply for the entrance examination the day after tomorrow!"

The white dove must have flown toward the magic academy. Even if Aurora had a way to track its whereabouts, it would have corroborated Xing Mo's excuse.

"I just remembered that the entrance examination will start the day after tomorrow. If we want to apply, we need to send a courier now."

"Don't forget, if you want to steal the Goddess's secrets, you have to start from the magic academy. The academy was built according to the Goddess's decree, and it has more than one hundred string magic formations underground."

After listening to Xing Mo's explanation, Aurora furrowed her delicate eyebrows, and her vines tightened at once: "Really? You didn't write to someone special?"

"Why would I do such a thing? Is there anyone in the academy who can deal with you?" Xing Mo uttered in a low voice.

"There isn't~" Aurora blinked innocently, "But, I feel like there's a strange scent on you... a scent I don't really like... are you lying?"

Scent? Xing Mo sniffed her arm, but didn't sense anything except for her faint body odor.

Upon seeing Xing Mo's reaction, Aurora suddenly smiled mischievously: "Then~ let's just pretend I misunderstood you. To prove your loyalty, call me master again."

You're doing this just because of your desire for dominance... Xing Mo tried her best to maintain her composure. After all, the vines under her skirt were becoming increasingly more roguish.

She took a deep breath and said in a quiet voice: "Mas... master..."

The words have just fallen, when an ethereal voice came from the side: "Did you call her master?"

Xing Mo suddenly turned her head and found Holy Nun Lilis standing next to her, looking at her with a surprised expression on her face.

She felt the vines quickly retract. Aurora smiled brightly at her, waiting to see how she will respond.

Xing Mo: (˚ Д˚ ≡˚ д˚)!?

"Did you call her master?" The Holy Nun asked again, looking uncertain.

"Ah... ah... th... this..." Xing Mo turned her head slightly, her calm face quickly igniting and her heart pounding.

Not good... you have to calm down... calm down! Xing Mo! You are a Bellkeeper! A guardian of the Citadel! Even if you are misunderstood as playing some strange game, don't panic!

Xing Mo took a deep breath, summoned her courage, and then turned to the Holy Nun: "We... we're playing a master-servant role-playing game... ha-ha... she's playing the role of a young lady... I'm playing the role of a maid… she's still a child... a child..."

After she finished speaking, she promptly turned to look at Aurora and winked vigorously at her.

Aurora still sported a bright smile, as if she hadn't noticed anything.

Play along! If she senses that something is wrong, won't you be exposed?! Xing Mo strived to convey this.

Aurora, however, looked unconcerned and aloof, as if saying, "How is it any of my business?"

While Xing Mo was feeling like crawling into a hole and dying, Lilis nodded caringly and said: "I see. Poor children. You must be missing your previous life..."

Her expression remained calm, yet tears started to well up at the corners of her eyes.

What picture did you paint in your head?! Xing Mo shouted in her heart.

"Hankering for the past is understandable. However, instead of looking back, we must walk forward." Lilis wiped the tears from her eyes and said with earnest.

"Thank... thank you for your teachings." Xing Mo quickly responded, then changed the topic, "Holy Sister, was there something you wanted to tell us?"

"Ah... I just thought of something and wanted to inform you." The Holy Nun continued, an ethereal shade exuding from her eyes, "If you want to come to the cathedral to help, a good time would be during the weekend after dinner. Our bishop has been away from for a while now. Without him taking the reins, there may not be enough hands to tidy up the cathedral after the Goddess's Mass."

Didn't you just say that I'm lacking in education? Why the sudden change? Xing Mo muttered in her heart and then quickly nodded: "I understand. I will come to help."

I must see if the nuns will undergo any changes. After all, who knows what changes will occur in the church after the little Evil God replaced Saint Auroth. As a guardian of the Citadel, Xing Mo believed this to be her duty.

At the same time... helping the Goddess sweep the church, it is a way for me to redeem myself.

Seeing Xing Mo agree, the Holy Nun nodded with a smile: "Then, may the Goddess always watch over you."

"May the Goddess always watch over you as well." Xing Mo bowed.

......

After purchasing some daily necessities, Xing Mo took Aurora back to the apartment and made a simple lunch, only comprised of three dishes and one soup. But it was pretty flavorful.

The little Evil God was apparently quite impressed with Xing Mo's culinary skills. While Xing Mo hadn't even moved her chopsticks much, she ate three-quarters of the dishes by herself.

Speaking of which, her using chopsticks instead of fork and knife was one of the reasons why others thought that Xing Mo resembled a Yanxian person. This type of tableware from the east was not popular in the Vestan Continent. Most people who knew how to use it either were of Yanxian bloodline or were eastern cultural enthusiasts.

But to Xing Mo's surprise, Aurora was able to use chopsticks without any difficulty, as if she were an authentic Yanxian person.

It's strange... she can't even turn on the shower, yet she knows how to use chopsticks.

What is the meaning behind this? Did she prioritize knowledge about food?

Thinking of the way Aurora wolfed down the food, Xing Mo felt like she grasped some trait of the little Evil God.

After she was done eating, Aurora lay down on the sofa and then beckoned Xing Mo with her hand, saying: "Young Saintess, come here and serve me as a knee pillow~"

"I'm going to wash the dishes, Young Ancestor." Xing Mo pursed her lips, "Lie on your own."

When she finished speaking, she looked down and found that the tableware had been cleaned already.

Aurora, lying on the sofa, waved a twig, imitating the way Xing Mo played strings.

Xing Mo sighed in her heart, then sat down on the sofa. Aurora wriggled twice, pulled Xing Mo's skirt up, and then lay on her lap.

"While touching them in the square, I realized they're quite suitable to be used as a pillow. They're really soft~" Aurora revealed a look of enjoyment.

Do your vines also have senses? What is this? Are they tentacles? You rogue!

Xing Mo tried to maintain a calm expression as much as possible and said: "Was your plan successful?"

"Of course it was~ I can already hear the prayers~ the faith force is growing~" Aurora rubbed against Xing Mo's thighs like a kitten.

Goddess, forgive my incompetence... your faith force was stolen by a bad critter... Xing Mo closed her eyes.

She suddenly remembered something and asked probingly: "When we were in Saint Auroth Cathedral, why did you say the Starsea Spring was interesting?"
