Chapter 35: Identity Exposed
Yuehua Fengyun stepped back and slipped through the narrow gap beside Luo Yuxi. Luo Yuxi hadn’t expected the bishop to resort to such underhanded tactics. By the time she reacted, Yuehua Fengyun was already inside the church.
“Wow, it’s the pretty lady with the nice clothes~”
“?!”
Yuehua Fengyun heard the voice and saw Yun Keke and Yu Keke sitting on the chairs. She was about to tell them to address her as “Bishop” but then realized why Luo Yuxi had tried to stop her from entering. But looking around, nothing seemed out of the ordinary.
“If you’re just trying to hide the fact that you have two younger sisters, there’s no need. We’ve already met…”
“I-Is that so? I was so nervous I forgot…”
Yuehua Fengyun sighed, thinking she had missed out on discovering something interesting. She placed the detection device at the base of the Goddess statue, explaining its function as she installed it. For some reason, she wanted to stay here longer, feeling a sense of calm in this place.
“After installing this device, just press this button to activate it. If there are any witches nearby…”
As she spoke, she pressed the button. Luo Yuxi raised her hand, then lowered it again, watching the device flash red. Yuehua Fengyun froze mid-sentence.
“Big sister, this device is the same as the one I saw this morning! And it’s flashing red just like that one~”
Yun Keke stood up and approached Yuehua Fengyun, looking at the device curiously. Yuehua Fengyun turned stiffly, looking at the innocent Yun Keke, then at the well-behaved Yu Keke.
“Um… are they really your sisters…?”
“…”
Luo Yuxi wanted to nod, but it was clearly too late. Fear flickered in Yuehua Fengyun’s eyes. A high-Order witch, let alone a bishop, even a Saintess might not be a match for her, let alone two of them.
“So that’s it… You’ve betrayed the Church!”
“No, I haven’t! Don’t talk about betrayal! I… I’m just… fulfilling a small wish for them!”
Yuehua Fengyun glared at Luo Yuxi. She had found her attractive and even developed somef ondness for her, but it turned out this alluring body had been defiled by those vile witches, even her mind corrupted.
“Thinking about it, it is strange. You were kidnapped by witches, and Ling Shuang, with support from headquarters, went to rescue you, but four of you returned. These two lolis are witches, aren’t they?!”
“We’ve been exposed…”
“!!!”
Before Yuehua Fengyun could finish, a cold voice from behind made her freeze. A pair of delicate hands covered her eyes. Although she couldn’t see, she couldn’t move either. She felt someone hug her from the front while another covered her eyes from behind.
[Unique Magic: Burial]
“It would have been better if you had pretended not to know. Even though you’ll be asleep, I’ll still love you~”
[Unique Magic: Eternal Sleep]
“Little Yu accepts… your hatred… so please die with a smile…”
Yuehua Fengyun, a 3rd Order, couldn’t even move against the two. She felt her strength draining, as if being pulled into a whirlpool of death. Luo Yuxi watched as Yun Keke and Yu Keke, glowing with different lights, manipulated Yuehua Fengyun like a doll.
“Stop it!!”
“Eh? Sister Yuxi~”
Yun Keke looked at Luo Yuxi, who had shouted. Although they had succeeded, they obediently withdrew their magic. Yuehua Fengyun, her vision restored, collapsed to the ground, drenched in sweat.
“Heh, you Church traitor, are you sparing me to humiliate me…?”
Yuehua Fengyun gasped for air. The feeling had been terrifying. She had felt disconnected from the world, losing control of her body, her soul being pulled out. But she still glared at Luo Yuxi.
“Bishop…”
“Heh, now that your true identity has been exposed, you’re still acting? I’m not in the mood for your games. Do what you will, but you won’t get any information from me…”
“No, that’s not what I meant, I… I just…”
“I’ve heard that witches treat beautiful women as playthings. You’re sparing me just to humiliate me, right? Even if all three of you come at me, I won’t say a word!”
“I…”
“I, the Seat of Mercy, will not yield, even in death!”
Luo Yuxi, who had prepared her excuses, clenched her fists, angered by the bishop’s constant interruptions. Thankfully, she wasn’t a real witch. If she were, she would tie this girl up and make her beg for mercy.
“Bishop!!!”
“Just kill me… why are you shouting…?”
Yuehua Fengyun’s arrogance vanished after Luo Yuxi’s shout. Seeing that she had finally stopped interrupting, Luo Yuxi squatted down and explained.
“Bishop, I know you don’t believe me, but… I awakened a Holy Mark…”
“Huh? Awakening a Holy Mark and betraying the Church? What a joke…”
“No! That’s not what I meant! It’s related to my inherent ability, Bishop. Aren’t you curious what my inherent ability is~?”
“Not curious, just kill me, don’t waste my time…”
“…”
Luo Yuxi recalled that in the game’s setting, every nun who awakened a Holy Mark also gained an inherent ability. She decided to use this to deceive Yuehua Fengyun. But Yuehua Fengyun turned away, refusing to listen. Luo Yuxi, frustrated, sighed and showed her the Holy Mark on her hand.
“What if I told you my inherent ability is to control witches~?”
“Hmm?!”
