Chapter 36: Deceiving the Bishop
Yuehua Fengyun’s expression was filled with question marks. Looking at the serious Luo Yuxi, she almost believed her. An inherent skill to control witches? That sounded like something from a dream. But seeing the complex markings on Luo Yuxi’s hand, she wavered.
“What if she’s telling the truth? Not only would I not die, but the Church would also gain a powerful weapon…”
Yuehua Fengyun stood up, still feeling weak, but slightly recovered. Luo Yuxi saw the hesitation in her eyes, even though she hadn’t explicitly denied anything.
“When I was surrounded by those terrifying witches at the auction, my fear awakened the power of my Holy Mark. I was treated like merchandise, those witches ogling me, waiting to buy me…”
Luo Yuxi recounted her fabricated tale with dramatic flair, wiping away fake tears. Yuehua Fengyun felt it was genuine. Ordinary Holy Marks were simple, but such a complex and perfect pattern might indeed indicate a special ability.
“When I first awakened this ability, I didn’t know how to use it. Later, I controlled two of the stronger witches, which caused the chaos…”
Luo Yuxi, seeing Yuehua Fengyun lost in thought, winked at the twins. Yu Keke scratched her head in confusion, but Yun Keke seemed to understand and rushed over, hugging Luo Yuxi.
“I’m sorry… Sister Yuxi, I acted on my own, forgetting that your orders are absolute. Next time, I’ll definitely listen to you~”
Yuehua Fengyun looked at Yun Keke’s obedient demeanor, as if she had been hypnotized. In her experience, witches were domineering and unruly, willing to destroy nations on a whim. A witch acting cute and apologetic? It had to be hypnosis.
“So that’s how it is. But this ability is too outrageous, I still can’t believe it. Unless you demonstrate it for me…”
“Uh… how… how do I demonstrate it…?”
Yuehua Fengyun’s question stumped Luo Yuxi. Making the two witches fight seemed wasteful. If they were truly hypnotized, they were valuable assets. Seeing Yuehua Fengyun thinking seriously, Luo Yuxi was afraid she would come up with some crazy idea.
“If you still don’t believe me, Bishop, how about a different kind of demonstration~?”
“Oh?!”
Luo Yuxi was nervous. If Yun Keke and Yu Keke didn’t cooperate, her act would be exposed. But she had no choice.
“Little Yun, go and forcefully kiss Little Yu…”
“Eh… okay~”
Yun Keke hesitated for a moment, then looked at Yu Keke sitting obediently on the chair and walked towards her. Yu Keke, hearing the command, raised her hand to protest, but Yun Keke grabbed her hands and kissed her.
“Little Yun…! Mmm~!”
Yuehua Fengyun was stunned. She hadn’t expected Luo Yuxi to give such a command, and the witch actually obeyed. Now, even if she didn’t want to believe it, she had to.
Seeing Yuehua Fengyun’s lowered guard, Luo Yuxi decided to add fuel to the fire. She leaned close and whispered in her ear,
“Bishop, I can make them do even more exciting things. Do you want to see~?”
“What?! No! Who would want to see that?! I believe you, okay? Make them stop!!”
Although Yuehua Fengyun was a bishop, she was quite innocent. Seeing the two witches, one attacking, one defending, she had never witnessed such a scene before and blushed furiously. Luo Yuxi, seeing her plan succeed, breathed a sigh of relief.
“I’ll discuss this with the other bishops. This matter will be classified as top secret. Take care of yourself and don’t get kidnapped by witches again…”
Yuehua Fengyun avoided Luo Yuxi’s gaze, blaming the witches for making her see Luo Yuxi in a different light. Looking at Luo Yuxi’s alluring lips, she felt like she was about to be kissed and fled in a panic.
“Haa… I managed to deceive her for now, at least I don’t have the title of ‘traitor’ yet.”
Luo Yuxi relaxed. Although her plan had many flaws, it had worked for now. If any loopholes were discovered, she would deal with them later. But she still had to fulfill her promise to Yun Keke and Yu Keke.
“Sigh, things are getting complicated. What will happen when the protagonist of this world appears…?”
Luo Yuxi rubbed her head and turned to find the twins, wanting to discuss more details and prevent further slip-ups. But she saw Yun Keke still kissing Yu Keke.
“Hey, hey, wait a minute, the act is over! No need to be so realistic! Don’t take off your clothes!!!”
Luo Yuxi had intervened just in time, preventing the act from becoming reality. Yu Keke, her face flushed, lay on the chair, breathless from Yun Keke’s enthusiastic kiss. Luo Yuxi hadn’t expected Yun Keke to be so proactive. Yu Keke’s eyes were still glazed over.
“Mmm… I’m going to die… Little Yun…”
“Oh my, I’ve always wanted to try that~ It’s just like in the manga, making someone completely weak. I wonder if that counts as a skill~”
Luo Yuxi, hearing their conversation, couldn’t help but wonder what kind of manga they were reading. Looking at the clock, she realized it was dinner time. Looking at Yun Keke and Yu Keke, she thought, This isn’t so bad.
“Oh, really, I can’t with you two. I’ll go make dinner. Until we find your mother, I’ll take care of you~”
“Yay~!”
Yun Keke hugged Luo Yuxi excitedly, rubbing her head against her chest. Yu Keke, more reserved, simply tugged at her clothes and softly said,
“Tha… thank you… Sister Yuxi…”
“Alright, you two go upstairs and rest. There are no other spare rooms, so go to my room. I’ll call you when dinner is ready~”
Luo Yuxi walked towards the kitchen. Yun Keke and Yu Keke obediently went upstairs. Meanwhile, outside, a girl with an umbrella approached the church.
“Oh my, it seems they’re back~”
