Chapter 348 The Saintess's Confession

After Qin Mo and Heather jumped into the sea and escaped for more than ten miles, they originally planned to head south back to the vicinity of Baihai City and then return to Riga Fortress via the same route.

But as soon as he stepped onto the ice, he heard a furious roar from the horizon, and the roar continued to roll toward him.

Qin Mo was so frightened that he immediately went back into the water to become an amphibian—a turtle. He had no choice; facing Arthas, who had suddenly become inexplicably powerful, he simply couldn't muster the courage to confront him head-on.

In the following few times, as long as Qin Mo headed south, he could not escape Arthas's perception. Helpless, Qin Mo made a tough decision and took Heather to play a great underwater escape, directly arriving at the western shore of the White Sea. After landing, they plunged into the Nordic jungle that he had longed for in his previous life.

Perhaps it was because the western shore of the White Sea belonged to the Frostwolf Clan, who were not on good terms with other orcs, or perhaps Arthas's senses were impaired in the jungle, but Qin Mo did not hear that chilling howl again after entering the jungle; he simply needed to avoid other dangers in the jungle.

Fortunately, Heatherine on Qin Mo's back was breathing normally, had a normal body temperature, and even smelled the same warm, sunny scent as before, which put Qin Mo at ease.

Qin Mo planned to traverse the entirety of Finland, then head south to the Baltic Sea, and then try to cross the sea to reach the Riga Fortress. If all else failed, he could do another long-distance scuba dive! He could also give the beautiful woman mouth-to-mouth resuscitation.

A drop of the Fountain of Life not only brought Heather back to life, but also restored her disfigured face to its perfect state, leaving Qin Mo, who was feeding her, stunned for a long time, marveling that the difference between beauty and dinosaur is just a thought away.

Now this beautiful woman was lying on top of him, her two soft mounds rubbing against his back with each of his leaps and bounds. If Qin Mo hadn't had such strong willpower, he could have easily turned into a werewolf in an instant.

"Qin Mo, I have something to tell you!"

The two had already avoided the large tribes of the orcs and headed south. If all went well, they would reach the Baltic Sea in a few days. Heather, who had been quiet on Qin Mo's back for several days, suddenly spoke to Qin Mo.

"Hmm! What is it?" Qin Mo asked casually as she lightly leaped across a stream in the woods.

"Actually, this mission... shouldn't have been yours to do!"

Heatherine had been struggling with this decision for a long time. During her days on the run with Qin Mo, she had grown accustomed to this back, which, though not broad, was exceptionally strong and warm, and she really didn't want to lose this feeling.

But some things, once missed, can never be made up for. In a few days, she will reach the Baltic Sea and return to the temple's territory after crossing the sea. She has not completed her mission. Could there be other conspiracies waiting for Qin Mo?

The answer is yes. If the Temple wants something, it will never give up halfway. It will find a way to get it no matter what. For the so-called "cannon", even the noble saintess herself was asked to sacrifice herself. This shows the Temple's thirst for that cannon.

“The Council of Elders of the Temple… wants me to get something from you…” Heather felt as if her heart had been ripped out after she finished speaking.

Qin Mo's body stiffened noticeably as she ran, but she quickly recovered and swung her legs at the established rhythm, passing over a large tree with exposed roots.

What do you want?

A lazy, casual voice came from Qin Mo's mouth as he ran, as if he were just casually responding to his girlfriend who wanted to buy him a handbag.

Heatherine was filled with remorse. She didn't regret telling Qin Mo the truth, but she regretted accepting this shameful mission. She had always considered herself an embodiment of light, yet she had to do such a dirty thing.

The person whom the temple and he had schemed against fed him the most precious "Fountain of Life" when he was critically injured and on the verge of death. That was the "Fountain of Life"! He had only wanted to make contact with the sea creatures, but the council had blocked him from doing so, precisely because they were afraid he would obtain that thing... something that was incredibly important to him.

Heather felt the power of transformation and rebirth within her body, and looked at the pure halo that faintly flowed beneath the skin of her palms. She had gained precious power, but lost the thing she should cherish most in her heart.

"What the Temple Elder Council has its eye on... is no simple matter. You wouldn't be after my virginity, would you?" Qin Mo rarely uttered such a crude remark. He was probably the first person to dare to say something so lewd to the Holy Maiden of the Temple.

"The Temple's envoy to Great Xia... knows about the 'cannons,' but Great Xia... refuses to share them with the Temple..." Heather explained with difficulty, then pressed herself tightly against Wen Nuan's back, knowing that this warmth... was about to leave her.

Qin Mo felt Heatherine pressed tightly against her back, and then a few drops of warm liquid flowed into her collar... These were Heatherine's tears.

"sorry....."

More tears streamed down Qin Mo's collar, and Heather gripped him even tighter, causing Qin Mo's body, which was as strong as steel, to feel pain.

"so what?"

Qin Mo's head was very close to Heather's head, and his lazy voice was practically whispering in Heather's ear.

Heatherine didn't understand Qin Mo's meaning. She just kept crying. She didn't stop her tears. She wanted to cry her heart out and then never show her weakness in front of others again.

"So you just stood in front of me? You're willing to trade your life for that damn 'cannon'? To use your life to complete that stupid mission from the Temple?"

"Could you be any more stupid?" Qin Mo spoke faster and faster, until she was practically exasperated.
