"brush!"

"brush!"

Two figures, one white and one black, flashed and instantly appeared in front of Qin Mo. This incredible speed startled Qin Mo, who trembled and took several steps back.

Isabella and Heatherine were not people to be trifled with; they noticed Qin Mo was being mischievous even before he was in front of them. His eyes remained bright and clear, without a single tear, showing no sign of him going blind.

"How did you end up on the shore?" Isabella demanded first, completely disregarding the murderous glare from Heatherine beside her.

"I've arrived! Thank you for giving me a ride! Your Highness, you're such a kind person!" Qin Mo successfully tricked the two into stopping, and quickly chuckled awkwardly. Since becoming a prince, he had rarely adopted such a humble posture. Fortunately, he had some experience from his previous life, otherwise, it would have been difficult to handle the situation.

Isabella's pink eyes showed a reluctant expression, just like a pitiful pet dog whose food bowl has been taken away by its owner.

"Hmph! A pair of adulterers!" she sneered and left.

Heatherine's anger had not completely subsided, and she immediately tried to chase after him and tear him apart.

"Ouch! My eyes really hurt. Why was your holy light so dazzling? I don't remember it being like this in the White Sea."

Heatherine, who had already moved away, turned back, carefully cupped Qin Mo's cheeks, and gazed intently into his eyes.

Her mask had been torn off during the fierce battle, revealing her fair and flawless face right in front of Qin Mo, exuding gentleness and tenderness.

"Your eyes... should be fine. Didn't you go to the elven holy land? Why are you back?" Heather was staring intently at Qin Mo's eyes and noticed that his pupils had dilated rapidly. Her face flushed, and she asked softly.

Qin Mo looked at Heather's fair face, which was flushed and made her even more beautiful and alluring, and said softly, "I've come back to find you! You forced yourself on me and then left without a word. What did that mean?"

Heatherine's mind went blank for a moment. She stared blankly into Qin Mo's burning gaze, and after a long while, she quickly closed her eyes, trying to calm her heaving chest. The blush on her face gradually faded.

"I'm going back to Rome. The temple gave me... a precious opportunity, and I may... never see you again!"

"What do you mean? Are you going to be irresponsible and abandon me after starting something?" Qin Mo panicked immediately, and the painful memories of being peacefully dumped by his girlfriend in his previous life flooded back into his mind.

“No… The temple is choosing a successor to the Holy Maiden this year, and I need to train her to become the new Holy Maiden. It will take a long time…”

"Splash... splash..." The waves surged onto the shore, crashing and shattering, yet they remained undeterred, layer upon layer, relentlessly advancing.

Qin Mo pursed her lips tightly, while Hathaway remained calm. The two stood frozen on the beach, neither speaking, only the sound of the crashing waves stirring their bitter and sorrowful hearts.

"And then what? Then you'll end up like Saintess Thea, right?" After a long silence, Qin Mo finally broke the silence with annoyance.

"What...what are you saying? Saintess Thea...went to serve the gods...no..." Heather was shocked. She didn't understand how Qin Mo knew about Saintess Thea, which was a taboo in the temple.

"Heatherine, I know about Saintess Thea and Sislett, but I will never allow you to end up like Saintess Thea! If the temple imprisons you, we'll fight them to the death together!" Qin Mo shouted loudly, disregarding Elder Rhine who was already approaching.

Heatherine looked at Qin Mo in horror, recalling the relieved expression on Teacher Thea's face when she walked right into the trap and successfully covered Sisley's escape.

At the time, she couldn't understand why, when the fault lay with Sislett, her teacher was willing to sacrifice herself and be devoted to that person.

Now she finally understands.

When Hazel saw Qin Mo's resolute and resentful gaze, her hardened heart slowly softened again. She missed the time she spent with Qin Mo and longed for the feeling of curling up on his back.

"You're still too weak, don't do anything reckless! I'm not as weak as a teacher. Once I'm done with everything, I'll come find you, and no one... can stop me!"

"Don't worry... I've got everything covered!"

The strong-willed saintess's words became incredibly domineering!
