The Defeated Saintess Is On A Journey To Tame The Evil God Book 01 Chapter 07.05.1 - Red Epiphyllum

The Auntie was taken aback, then smiled and said: "Oh my, such a big girl, yet still so bashful. It's just underwear. Go ahead and take a look at the designs. There's a fitting room over there, where you can try them on."

"Th... thank you, Auntie..." Xing Mo lowered her head.

Even though I've been a girl for such a long time, but I still feel really embarrassed...

All in all... apart from the clothing, my figure makes... makes... me blush as well...

Xing Mo shook her head quickly, banishing all the unpleasant thoughts from her mind.

She hurried to the back of the tailor shop, grabbed a few items at random, and went into the fitting room.

Ten minutes later, Xing Mo walked out neatly dressed, a slight flush on her face.

She paid for the items, then turned and saw Aurora beaming with delight.

"... if you keep smiling, I won't prepare food for you tomorrow." Xing Mo uttered.

Aurora stopped smiling at once.

Quite straightforward...

Xing Mo shrugged, then said her goodbyes to the aunty and prepared to leave the tailor shop.

But at this moment, her eyes fell on a black formal attire—formal attires were hung in the corner of the tailor shop, obviously prepared for some important occasions.

"Those are more suitable for gentlemen than ladies." The aunty said with a smile: "But in the Northern District, there are fewer and fewer real gentlemen..."

Formal attire... gentleman... Something seemed to click in Xing Mo's mind.

According to Blackwood's information, when Bishop Freyr Sunlight fled Saint Auroth Cathedral... didn't he buy a formal attire?

Based on the speculation at the time, he bought the attire to attend a certain event...

After finding Steam Man's kill list under the Sunflower Hot Springs, we guessed that Bishop Freyr was already dead, thereby overlooking an important thing—

—which is, where exactly was this event that required formal attire?!

It was clearly not at the hot springs!

After Bishop Freyr sought help from Blackwood and failed, he wasted no time and headed straight for that event, suggesting that it represented a way out for him.

However, he was intercepted by Prince Austin along the way...

And that event that required formal attire might provide an important clue, a clue to the truth behind the Starsea Spring.

...

Xing Mo raised her head and spoke to the tailor shop's auntie, pretending to be casual, "Has anyone bought these attires recently? Their workmanship is superb... why would people overlook them?"

"Ha-ha, you're so sweet. But to be honest, these designs are already out of fashion."

The tailor shop's auntie smiled and then started thinking aloud: "The last time one was sold... should have been a few months ago..."

The timeline might match up! Xing Mo asked quickly: "Do you still remember what the person who bought that attire looked like? What I mean is, what kind of person would have such good taste?"

"I do remember. That guy was wearing clerical robes; looked like someone from the Church." The tailor shop's auntie nodded repeatedly, "However, he was behaving suspiciously, and even yelled at me twice. So I remember him particularly well... sigh. That's why I said there are fewer and fewer real gentlemen..."

Xing Mo and Aurora exchanged a glance, a bright smile on the latter's face.

"It seems that good taste doesn't equate to being polite, that formal attire doesn't necessarily make you a gentleman." Xing Mo said.

Xing Mo chatted a bit more with the aunty and then left the tailor shop with Aurora.

But she didn't really leave. After the auntie went into the back room, she waved her wand, and a faint mist rose around.

Using the mist as cover, she quickly played several strings and summoned the Dagger of Truth, and then stabbed it into the void—

Sizzle—

Since the time frame of Bishop Freyr's disappearance was quite specific, Xing Mo quickly found his figure in the gray stream of memories.

However, his figure was rather unclear—this was because he was a Saint and, by this time, had started using anti-surveillance measures.

But even so, Xing Mo still heard his fragmented mumblings.

"... this is false... it's false..."

"... no! I don't care about the size! The money is on the counter, just put it in the bag!"

"... Humpback Whale... yes... I need to..."

...

Xing Mo opened her eyes, golden light dissipated in her eyes, and the outline of the dagger faded into the air.

She locked onto the last term Bishop Freyr had mentioned—

—Humpback Whale.

"Humpback Whale? That sounds like the name of a ship..." Xing Mo muttered to herself. She tried to search her memories, but found that she had never heard of such a ship before.

"We can have Aria's little birds investigate it; no need to rush." Aurora stood on tiptoes and patted Xing Mo's head, "Shouldn't you be feeling weak, using the Dagger of Truth and all?"

When these words had fallen, Xing Mo felt her legs go weak—due to the period and the spiritual depletion caused by using the Dagger of Truth, the energy she had painstakingly accumulated was once again depleted.

"I'm fine..." Xing Mo took a deep breath, "Let's go, we need to head to the church."

Aurora smiled at her for a moment, then took Xing Mo's hand into hers: "I'll hold your hand, so you won't stumble! Let's go!"

Xing Mo was taken aback for a moment, then gave a faint smile.

......

The Starsea Mass was as magnificent as ever, with golden starlight filling the air, bringing the believers profound joy.

And as usual, Aurora was shivering with delight.

This time, there are no vines binding me... Xing Mo sat on a bench, silently watching the small creature beside her secretly enjoying the moment, her head lowered.

Is it because I'm not feeling well? I didn't expect her to be so considerate...

This thought had just sprung up in Xing Mo's mind, when a slight itch came from her thighs.

Her expression changed, and she whispered: "Hey! I just bought new clothes! Don't... ah!"

...

After the Mass ended, Aria was sweeping a corner of the church. She looked up and saw the Lady Saintess, who had a blush on her face.

Before the Lady Saintess could speak, Aria stepped forward and whispered: "During the day, Alice Pushett came to the church and created a dark field. I don't know what she did."

Senior Alice? Xing Mo creased her brow and said softly, "Okay, I got it."

Subsequently, she told Aria about the Humpback Whale, and the latter promptly nodded, then went to assign the task.

I'm more and more like the leader of a secret organization... Xing Mo thought to herself. She couldn't help but start meditating on what she just heard.

Why did Senior Alice come to Saint Auroth Cathedral?

Could it be that... she noticed something?

Thinking until here, Xing Mo couldn't help but feel nervous, aware of what the senior was capable. Thereupon, she turned and asked Aurora: "If Senior were to use the Dagger of Truth here, would she be able to see what happened in the past?"

"Of course she would. I'm not stupid." Aurora went on to say, "If I were to interfere, wouldn't it be the same as telling her 'there's something wrong with this church?'"

"But you interfered at the factory..."

"That's because the Undying was there that time, muddying the waters."

This Young Ancestor is unexpectedly quite logical.

Xing Mo took a deep breath, deciding to put this matter out of her mind for the time being.

She waited for Aria to be done assigning the task, and then asked her about True Tongue.
