Chapter 357

The farce in the morning came to an end when Shien couldn't get over it.

After a while, as the Vixen Saintess hid behind La Xia and sat down with Shien and Emerald, the atmosphere among the group became more serious.

Shien looked at the Vixen Saintess who hid behind La Xia and didn't dare to look at him.

"Alright, I was just joking with you. Is there a need to be so serious?"

That was what Shien said.

But the Vixen Saintess didn't believe him.

"You … Your expression and eyes were full of evil just now. I don't believe you!"

The Vixen Saintess poked her head out from behind La Xia and mustered up her courage to say this to Shien before she retracted her head.

"Hehe." Shien couldn't help but sneer. "If I really wanted to eat you, do you think you could have a good night?"

Although this eating might not be the same as eating, one had to admit that what Shien said made sense.

If he really wanted to do it, this Vixen Saintess might have been harmed by him last night.

Thinking of that possibility and the fact that her clothes were changed, the Vixen Saintess began to tremble again.

At this time, La Xia spoke.

"I changed your clothes, don't worry."

La Xia seemed to have seen through the Vixen Saintess' thoughts and spoke indifferently.

"Big Sister ~ ~ ~"

The Vixen Saintess seemed to have been redeemed, and her expression became unprecedentedly brilliant. She hugged La Xia tightly to express her gratitude.

The corner of Shien's mouth twitched.

This little fox couldn't have been tamed by La Xia just like that, right?

Does it have to be so dramatic?

Could it be that the protagonist of this book should be La Xia?

"Big Sister is a Maid"?

"The Passerby Protagonist is a Hero from a Different World"?

"My Journey to a Different World is Not a Main Story"?

… Why does it feel so real!?

Shien almost doubted his life.

On the other hand, La Xia didn't react at all to what the Vixen Saintess had done and only said so.

"The guest's breakfast is ready."

La Xia didn't ignore the fact that the Vixen Saintess was a guest because of her attitude toward her.

So, La Xia took a breakfast out of nowhere and placed it in front of the Vixen Saintess.

"Growl ~"

The Vixen Saintess's stomach immediately made a cute little sound.

"…!"

The young girl fiercely covered her little belly, and her pretty face became incomparably red.

"Puff!"

Shien smiled unkindly.

"N-Don Shien!" "…"

The Fox Holy Maiden yelled with a flushed face. It was unknown whether she was angry or embarrassed.

The Vixen Saintess's face was still red, and it was unknown whether she was angry or embarrassed.

Si Xia was still as indifferent as ever, causing the Vixen Saintess to sit down uneasily. She kept glancing at the breakfast in front of her as if she wanted to eat it, but she was hesitant. This caused her to keep stealing glances at Sean as if she wanted to say something.

"Who wants you to feed me?!" The Vixen Saintess was angry. She grabbed the cutlery and ate.

"Who wants you to feed me?!" The Vixen Saintess was angry. She grabbed the cutlery and ate.

While eating, the Vixen Saintess's expression was very complicated.

"I didn't expect that the first time in my life eating with someone would be in such a situation. But big sister's food is so delicious …"

The Vixen Saintess looked very emotional. It was unknown whether she was feeling gratified or indignant.

Shien didn't know that this was the first time the Saintess ate with someone, so he didn't know how complicated her emotions were.

He just looked at the Vixen Saintess, who was eating La Xia's breakfast in small bites. Suddenly, he remembered something.

"Right, I still don't know your name."

Shien asked this question.

The Vixen Saintess was a little hesitant, but she still said her name.

"Elise."

The Vixen Saintess said softly.

"I'm the Saintess of the beastmen, Vixen Elise."

Hearing the words of the Vixen Saintess, Elise, Shien nodded.

"Then I'll just call you Elise."

Shien said straightforwardly.

"You … Can't you use more honorifics?"

Elise didn't expect Shien to be so direct. She couldn't help but stop eating, and her expression was very unnatural.

Obviously, this Vixen Saintess had never been so 'rude' before.

Come to think of it, it made sense.

As the Saintess of the beastmen and the messenger of the Goddess of Life, Elise's status was equivalent to the human pope or the king of a country. She had never been called by her name like this.

Even the Empire's Valkyrie, whom she regarded as a friend, had never called her name so casually. Now, she was actually called by her name by someone of the opposite sex who she didn't even know whether they were friend or foe. It was no wonder that Elise felt uncomfortable.

But Shien didn't care so much.

"If you don't like it, I can call you something else," Shien said with a faint smile. "Why don't I call you Little Fox?"

Hearing that, Elise shuddered and hurriedly said.

"Just call me Elise!"

Compared to being called Little Fox, Elise would rather be called by her name.

At least, she just felt a little uncomfortable being called by her name. But when she was called Little Fox, she felt goosebumps all over her body.

Unfortunately, Elise still didn't know that the man in front of her was someone who never played by the rules.

"Okay, Little Fox, I got it, Little Fox."

Shien said so readily, making Elise have the urge to use her tail to slap his hateful smiling face.

"Forget it, do what you want," Elise said angrily. "Anyway, you're a bad person. I won't argue with you."

"I can't pretend that I didn't hear that, okay?" Shien raised his eyebrows and said, "When did I become a bad person?"

"Aren't you a bad person?" Elise seemed to have finally found a chance to vent and said angrily, "You invaded the temple that we guarded, injured my priest, and broke the seal. It's already light to say that you're a bad person. I should say that you're a big bad person!"

Hearing this, Shien knew that it was time for him to get to the point.

"The temple that you guarded …?" Shien looked at Elise and suddenly said, "What's going on with that temple?"

Elise was speechless.

But Shien continued to speak as if he didn't see it.

"Why is there such an ominous temple in Kosmosli?"

"Why is there such a seal inside the temple?"

"Who is the girl in the seal?"

"Why are you guarding that temple?"

Shien asked the questions in his heart one by one, causing Elise to be dumbfounded.

"You don't know anything?"

Elise seemed to be a little surprised by this.

"Should I know?"

Shien asked back.

"You … since you don't know anything, why did you invade there and break the seal?"

Elise was astonished and puzzled by this.

This made Shien a little speechless.

Speaking of which, he clearly didn't know anything, but he dared to directly break the seal without knowing the truth. If this matter were to be spread out, it would indeed be shocking and puzzling.

If it were in the past, Shien wouldn't do such a thing.

But this time, Shien did it based on his inexplicable premonition and response to Jadeite's plea.

So …

"Just think of it as me being too rash." Shien glossed over this question and said, "Besides, Kosmosli has encountered such a strange thing, and there's such a strange temple in the center of the city. It doesn't seem strange that I would want to go in and check it out, right?"

This time, it was Elise's turn to be speechless.

Shien's words were not without reason.

"I think the reason why the knights of the Sterling Dukedom and the people of the empire can't find the source of the strange thing is that the magic flowing out of the temple repels people, right?" Shien once again said with a faint smile, "Otherwise, if they knew that there's such a suspicious temple, they would definitely think of ways to investigate and even break in. Am I right?"

Therefore, Shien thought that there wasn't too much of a problem in this aspect.

"… You're right." Elise also admitted this point and sighed. "We were already mentally prepared to be discovered sooner or later, but we didn't expect that even though we were guarding it, a human would brazenly break in."

At this point, Elise's tone inevitably became a little dejected.

They had clearly taken this matter seriously and even sent a large number of Orc priests to guard the temple, but in the end, they couldn't even stop a young human man. This was indeed a huge blow to their morale.

If not for the intrusion, there was actually still room for negotiation. But now that things had come to this point, Elise and the others' actions were somewhat untenable.

If they weren't careful, they might even be seen as the mastermind behind all the strange things that happened in Cosmos or even the Sterling Dukedom and the Empire.

After all, the source of all these things was undoubtedly that temple. Yet, they were guarding that temple, no matter how one looked at it, it seemed like they were causing trouble.

This was also one of the reasons why Shien wasn't afraid that these Orc believers would find fault with him.

Because he had his own standpoint and reasons for doing so.

"Tell me." Shien said, "What exactly are you planning to do?"

Elise's expression began to become hesitant and she started to stutter.

Seeing this, Shien turned his head and looked at La Xia.

"As expected, let's add another dish."

Shien decided.

"Alright."

This time, La Xia didn't have any objections.

"Wait! I'll speak! "

The Saintess who didn't want to become fox meat immediately shouted, her heart filled with grievances.

This is too much … too much …!

I'm not doing anything bad, why do I have to be threatened like this?

And you want to eat Little Fox?

Little Fox is still a child!

Wu wu wu …
