Chapter 27 The Scent of Conspiracy

Just as the intoxicated Bai Ye's slightly slurred words fell...

The entire room fell into a long silence.

Clearly, it wasn't just Bai Ye...

Even Luna and Mira were very curious about it!

For a moment, several pairs of eyes fell squarely on Xia Xier's face.

Waiting for her to give an answer.

Being watched by her close companions with such curious and expectant gazes, Xia Xier finally blushed, her face blooming like a peach blossom.

However, she still admitted it openly:

"Hmm, now... I am no longer a maiden..."

In an instant, the atmosphere became even more intimate.

Bai Ye's eyes sparkled, and she couldn't help but say:

"Quick! Tell me, when was the first time you did it, and how long did it last..."

"How was his compatibility with you..."

Before Bai Ye could continue to press her.

Qingya, who really couldn't watch anymore, finally put a stop to her behavior—

"Sister Bai Ye, how can you just ask something like that directly?"

As she spoke, she even gave Xia Xier a meaningful look.

However, Xia Xier just smiled shyly, her fair cheeks flushing even redder.

She didn't stop Bai Ye's questioning either.

Instead, she took out a candy she had prepared earlier and slowly placed it in her mouth.

As if recalling something, her face was full of happiness.

"Although I can't tell you the specific details for now."

"But, I am very happy!"

Bai Ye and Luna were genuinely happy for Xia Xier.

While Qingya and Mira frowned slightly, as if they had something on their minds.

...

Meanwhile.

Just as Xia Xier was following her plan to instill some ideas into the other girls.

Inside an ordinary-looking inn not far from the bar—

The arrogant blonde knight from the day, no...

Perhaps he could only be described as a silver-haired old man now.

The silver-haired old man was currently kneeling on the ground, prostrating himself before the black-robed figure in front of him, his voice filled with earnestness—

"My lord, I beg you to help me restore my protection and magic..."

"I can feel that I have lost the Goddess's protection."

"If I don't even have magic, I will truly have nothing."

"I beg you, my lord..."

The black-robed figure in front of him, although completely covered by the robe, had knight's boots that were unusually conspicuous, whether intentionally or unintentionally.

"Trash!"

"I told you to come to the Holy Kingdom and find any excuse, and I would fan the flames from within the Empire to start a holy war..."

"I didn't expect that as a knight of the Lomiris family, you couldn't even handle such a simple task!"

"You, you have disappointed me too much!"

As he spoke, the black-robed figure waved his sleeve.

The silver-haired old man's body was immediately sent flying by an invisible force, slamming heavily into the wall.

After landing, he coughed up a mouthful of blood with a 'wah', suffering severe injuries!

But he ignored his injuries, scrambling back to the black-robed figure, continuing to beg—

"My lord, this is not my fault, it is not my fault..."

"I didn't expect the Saintess would appear in such a place!"

"And, and that Saintess is not the kind of fake that our Empire pushes to the forefront."

"She..."

"She just used a few words to strip away my blessing, making me completely unable to feel any magic..."

"I even have a feeling that if she wanted to, she could easily kill me..."

Hearing the silver-haired old man's description, the black-robed figure was silent for a long time.

Seemingly intrigued by his words, he finally spoke again—

"In that case..."

"The Saintess you mentioned is even more special than we imagined?"

Receiving a response, the silver-haired old man became even more excited:

"Yes, that is exactly it!"

"My lord, she is a true Saintess who possesses divinity!"

"All the intelligence we obtained before was wrong; she is truly the only apostle of the Goddesses in this world!"

Hearing this, the black-robed figure was silent for a while longer, seemingly thinking carefully about something.

A moment later, his tone finally softened slightly:

"Very well, it ultimately just brought the target forward."

"I will help you one more time."

Receiving the promise, the silver-haired old man was overjoyed, kneeling and kowtowing repeatedly:

"Thank you, my lord! Thank you, my lord!"

Under the black robe, a faint red light seemed to flash in his hand.

The old man's body shuddered, and his previously pale, lifeless face regained a hint of color, glowing with vitality once again.

However, the black-robed figure's purpose was clearly not just this!

Without hesitation, he took out a black magic bead exuding an ominous aura from his bosom, his voice sounding like the seductive whisper of a devil from hell—

"Eat it, eat it, and you will gain a new blessing, be more handsome than before, and your strength will be even greater!"

Hearing this, the silver-haired old man almost instinctively swallowed his saliva.

Looking at the black magic bead, a struggle flashed in his eyes.

After hesitating for a few seconds, he finally gritted his teeth and reached out to take the magic bead:

"Thank you, my lord! To follow in your footsteps, to reclaim the glory that belongs to me, I am willing... to press forward!"

As he spoke, accompanied by the circulation of magic power in his body, he swallowed the magic bead without hesitation.

After doing all this, the silver-haired old man slowly raised his head.

At this moment, his complexion had completely turned pale red, and his aura was no longer as lethargic as before.

His silver hair turned back to gold in the blink of an eye, and in the next instant, it turned into a fearsome blood-red!

The whole person seemed to be reborn, exuding an exceptionally dangerous power!

The black-robed figure finally did not hold back his praise—

"Very good!"

"Then next... Falons, you will continue to test that Saintess!"

"Let me see... to what extent that Saintess's power is truly incredible!"

"Remember, not only must you find her weaknesses..."

Speaking of this, the black-robed figure's voice turned cold:

"Because, whether it is her, or that so-called Heros Party..."

"To us, they are obstacles that must be eradicated!"

Hearing this, the silver-haired old man's eyes flashed with a sharp light, and he nodded heavily:

"Yes! My lord!"

"I will definitely not let you down again!"

As he spoke, his figure turned into a wisp of blood shadow and disappeared.

Watching the silver-haired old man's retreating figure, the black-robed figure was silent for a moment—

Suddenly, he muttered to himself:

"A true Saintess, huh..."

"Heh... how interesting, truly interesting..."

...

On the other side—

Just as Xia Xier and the other girls were drinking to their heart's content, a violent tremor came from outside the bar!

This feeling was just like an earthquake.

However...

The Holy Mountain, as the most special town in the Holy Kingdom.

There are never any natural disasters here.

Why would such a tremor, like an earthquake, suddenly occur?

The girls looked at each other, seeing suspicion and shock in each other's eyes.

The next moment, they stood up in unison and left the private room one after another.

As soon as they arrived at the bar's front hall, a thick smell of blood instantly caught the girls' attention!

Looking in the direction of the smell of blood, the front hall was already a scene of hell on earth!

Whether it was the residents who had warmly greeted them earlier, or the bar owner...

They had all turned into lifeless corpses at this moment.

But... not a single corpse was intact.

All the corpses were either sliced open by some sharp blade or had all their bones shattered.

Blood had almost dyed the front hall of the bar red!

This sudden scene stunned the girls.

Xia Xier's pupils also shrank slightly, but she quickly calmed her mind.

She raised her gaze and looked outside the bar—

Along with a gust of bloody wind, a red-haired figure shrouded in blood aura appeared at the front door!

Looking at the bloody killer who was full of murderous intent, as if he had returned from hell!

Xia Xier's originally calm and beautiful expression gradually turned cold!

Without any hesitation, she raised her right hand, and a golden beam of light instantly blasted the red-haired man away!
