The Defeated Saintess Is On A Journey To Tame The Evil God Book 01 Chapter 03.13 - Good Sunny Days

As Xing Mo looked at her senior standing in front of her, memories suddenly popped up in her mind.

Finally, her gaze settled on Alice's profile.

"Junior, are you okay?" Alice looked at Xing Mo. When she saw those emerald green eyes, she was stunned for a moment.

A bellow pulled her back to reality. Alice turned to look at Noble, only to find him emitting black aura.

"Sal... salvation...!" Noble roared.

Alice waved her wand without hesitation—

Bang!

Bang!

Bang!

Every time she waved her wand, a ripple of red light broke out on Noble's body, as if an invisible whip was flogging him.

After more than a dozen seconds, the battle came to an end, with Noble collapsing on the ground, unconsciousness.

Ling promptly ran forward and said softly: "Sweetspring."

Three strings lit up, and cold spring water gushed out of nowhere and splashed on Noble, driving away the black aura.

What is going on...? Xing Mo gazed at the dissipating black aura and activated her spiritual vision.

She leveraged the authority granted by Aurora, and her gray-white spiritual vision took on a pale green halation.

Looking at Noble through the halation, Xing Mo involuntarily drew in a sharp breath—

—he was enveloped in a massive amount of black aura.

Aurora once said... that black aura represented death... while green aura represented life...

This guy... was enveloped by the aura of death?

Xing Mo looked at Aurora, only to see the white-haired little girl calmly staring at the collapsed Noble, her face expressionless.

She wanted to ask something, but was interrupted.

"Junior, are you okay?" Alice walked up to Xing Mo, her dark red eyes looking at her with concern.

Seeing her senior's familiar and amiable face, Xing Mo parted her lips slightly, but then turned her head away: "I... I'm fine... thank you, Senior..."

"I didn't expect the curse to spread here. Luckily, I arrived in time." Alice took out a handkerchief and wiped the sweat off Xing Mo's forehead: "You are very brave. In this kind of situation, your first reaction was to fight, much like… a junior I know."

"Thank you... thank you for the praise, Senior..." Xing Mo felt a little guilty, "What... do you mean by curse?"

"This is not something you need to worry about. I hope this little incident won't sour your first year at the academy. I will take care of the problem." Alice withdrew her handkerchief. She hesitated for a moment, then uttered: "By the way, Junior, what is your name...?"

She felt like the girl in front of her exuded a familiar aura, which she couldn't quite put her finger on.

"My name is... Xing Sheng." Xing Mo said faintly.

"It's also Xing..." Alice smiled and stroked Xing Mo's head, "Alright, since you're not hurt, go back and have a rest."

"Okay, Senior." Xing Mo promptly pulled Aurora by the hand and walked away, as if fleeing.

Her intuition told her that the curse Alice spoke of had an inexplicable connection to the series of events involving Aurora. Is Senior also going to get involved?

Seeing the worried expression on Xing Mo's face, Aurora smiled quietly.

That smile was reminiscent of someone watching an anxious little kitten.

......

"Vital signs are normal; it seems like there is nothing wrong."

In the Infirmary, Professor Ling sat on a chair, her small feet clad in high heels rocking back and forth.

Young Master Noble Sunlight was laying on a bed next to her. Underneath the bed, there was a string magic formation composed of complex symbols, forming a barrier that warded off impure energy.

"That's good to hear. If there were anything wrong with the young master of the Sunlight Family, it would be difficult for us to give an explanation to the Church." Alice said.

"Is there any information about Bishop Freyr Sunlight?" Professor Ling looked up at Alice, "Ever since his disappearance, Saint Auroth Cathedral has become a mess."

"There have been some leads recently. We've been following up on them." Alice sighed.

A few months ago, Saint Auroth Cathedral's Bishop Freyr Sunlight went missing. The last time he had been seen was in the church, weeping before the Starsea Spring.

Bishop Freyr was Young Master Noble's father. After his disappearance, as if his fetters were unleashed, the young master had become increasingly more arrogant, disregarding everyone else.

"You mentioned a 'curse' before, were you referring to that black aura?" Ling asked.

"That's right. Crime scenes related to Steam Man, they all have exhibited a similar black aura. We call it curse."

"After dealing with it so many times, I've gradually become able to use Dagger of Truth to trace the curse's aura. Otherwise, I might not have made it in time just now."

As she spoke, Alice glanced at Noble lying on the bed: "But... sure enough, the curse has spread to him..."

"Why do you say that?" Professor Ling rocked her legs.

"Because, before Bishop Freyr disappeared, witnesses saw a similar black aura emanate from him." Alice lowered her head, looking like she was putting pieces of a puzzle together.

"No matter what Steam Man is nor who is behind him, killing so many innocent workers seems to be just a cover-up."

"My guess is that his true goal is... to erase the bloodlines of the Saint Angels' worshipers."

Professor Ling narrowed her eyes, and then asked faintly: "He intends to turn the Citadel into an altar?"

"As long as the connection between the Angels' worshipers and the sacred artifacts is severed, the Goddess will not be able to protect us." Alice murmured, "Without God watching over us, who knows what will happen..."

Alice glanced at Noble lying on the bed. The haughty young master's eyes were closed shut, his face distorted in pain.

"I must continue with the investigation. I must confirm Bishop Freyr's whereabouts." Alice spoke, "Professor Ling, please take good care of the students. I'm counting on you."

"It was my responsibility to begin with. When that old codger Merlin comes back, I can continue my leisurely days of doing field work."

As Ling spoke, she suddenly remembered something and snapped her fingers.

A white dove entered through a window and handed her a rolled up piece of paper.

Ling accepted it and then tossed it to Alice: "By the way, Professor Lucius is sending his regards. He asked me to give you this letter, saying that it contains important information."

"Important information?" Alice creased her brow.

She opened the letter and quickly scanned the first line, and then her dark red eyes widened.

It read: Steam Man is not a mythical creature. There's a mole among the senior figures of the academy. Keep this to yourself.

......

After returning to the dormitory, Aurora lazily kicked off her shoes, lied down on her belly on the bed, and raised her legs in the air.

Xing Mo, with a heavy heart, sat down beside her. After contemplating for a moment, she finally opened her mouth and said: "Aurora, the black aura emanating from that young master... was it your doing?"

"Hmm?" Aurora rolled over, sat up in the W position, and asked in reply, "Why would I do that?"

"During the fight, he prayed to Archangel Saint Auroth, which is the same as praying to you, and then he... became like that."

"You're suspecting me just because of this?" Aurora tapped her lips with her index finger, "That said, why are you calling me by my name? Call me master~"

Xing Mo sighed: "In our contract, it was stipulated that you will do your best not to harm anyone, right?"

"It really wasn't me..." Aurora looked a bit wronged, "You also saw it. There was so much black aura on him. He only prayed twice this week, so I couldn't have placed such a powerful curse on him..."

Since Aurora took over the church on Monday until today—Thursday—the young master only prayed twice to Saint Auroth?

What kind of believer was this... what a sham...

Xing Mo awkwardly cleared her throat and continued to say: "Then do you know who cursed him?"

"I do." Aurora nodded.

"Tell me." Xing Mo asked.

"I don't want to." Aurora refused.

"Tell me, Master." Xing Mo's cheeks turned slightly red.

"I won't tell you, Servant~" Aurora put her hands on her hips and smiled brightly.

Hey… Xing Mo blinked her eyes, a displeased expression on her beautiful face.

Aurora said cheerfully: "As I mentioned before, telling you this now might be a bit too shocking to you, and you won't believe me."

"Is it that serious...?" Xing Mo muttered.

"In any case, didn't I give you the Tree of Life's field of vision~ The weekend is around the corner. You can go to Saint Auroth Cathedral and see for yourself." As she spoke, Aurora suddenly pounced on Xing Mo, throwing her onto the bed.

"It's not evening yet..." Xing Mo narrowed her eyes and lifted her chin, so as not to let Aurora rubbing against her.

Aurora smiled and forcibly nuzzled against Xing Mo's face: "Don't be impatient, don't be anxious. Just follow me well, be my Young Saintess, and everything will be fine."

This really sounds like the whispers of an Evil God... Although Xing Mo secretly criticized thusly, but her mind gradually calmed down.

She gave up resistance and let Aurora use her as a pillow.

Ms. Evil God, you actually have a warm side.

Even if it's fake, it's warm nonetheless.
