Virginia had just brought a potted plant into the house, and now that her hands were free, she had the energy to reply to Wu Yu. She clearly remembered him.

"Sir, it's a pleasure to meet you again. If you need my help, please let me know after I've moved these plants. For now, I can only correct one misconception of yours: I am not an employee of the store; I am just volunteering to help the owner move things."

Is she helping others again? Every time I meet Virginia, she's either helping someone or on her way to help someone. Eugene's assessment of her is truly well-deserved.

However, Wu Yu is now in a bit of an awkward situation. He is not a person who likes to help others. In the past, when he passed by the overpass, he never threw any change to the beggars on it.

But now that a frail woman he knows is doing manual labor in front of him, it seems a bit unreasonable not to lend a helping hand.

But Wu Yu casually asked, "Do you need my help?"

“Okay.” Without any pleasantries, Virginia immediately began directing her hard-won helper, “Wu Yu, the shop entrance isn’t very big, so you need to keep pace with me, otherwise bumping into each other could easily damage the flowerpots.”

"Hey, are you really going to be so rude? If you'd just been a little more polite, I would have left." Wu Yu grumbled to himself as he obediently followed Virginia's instructions.

Although it's a bit inconvenient to use only one hand, Wu Yu can now carry a flowerpot with one hand without much difficulty.

It was utterly baffling. Even after all the flowerpots had been moved into the shop, Wu Yu still couldn't understand why he was doing all this work for nothing.

Could it be true, as Violet said, that I'm the kind of person who can't resist beautiful women? No way, no way, are there really people in this world who like to be simps?

Moving some things was easy and enjoyable for Wu Yu, but Virginia was having a much harder time. She was covered in sweat and leaning against the shop door, panting heavily, clearly exhausted.

"Thank you," the florist said casually after locking the door, and left without even waiting for Virginia's reply.

Virginia didn't pay any attention; she was still there, adjusting her breathing.

But Wu Yu felt something was off. The female shop owner's behavior was too bland. It wasn't that Virginia had done anything remarkable, but think about it: if the mayor of your city happened to pass by your shop and casually helped you with a small favor, wouldn't you feel flattered?

But the female shop owner not only didn't express any gratitude, but her attitude of taking favors for granted was also very strange.

However, Wu Yu couldn't possibly bring the female shop owner back to express his gratitude to Virginia.

"Holy Light," Virginia murmured softly in her ethereal voice, as if she found the natural recovery a bit too slow.

A ray of light that Wu Yu had never seen before rose from above Virginia's head, seemingly brighter and warmer than the sun. Bathed in the holy light, the fatigue Wu Yu had accumulated today vanished instantly.

When the holy light faded, Virginia was no longer panting as before, and she once again revealed that irresistible smile.

Is this the legendary divine magic? It's simply amazing. Magic and martial arts at least conform to the basic laws of this other world, but divine magic, in terms of both power and effect, feels like something purely idealistic. I really want to study divine magic if I have the chance.

"Virginia, what are you going to do now?" Wu Yu was definitely going straight home, but according to the basic routine of chatting, he had to ask her plans first.

"Go help those in need." It's another statement that sounds pretentious, but when she says it, no one can find fault with it.

“You can’t help everyone,” Wu Yu kindly reminded her. He couldn’t understand Virginia’s behavior, but that didn’t stop him from expressing his thoughts.

“But every time I help someone, it reduces the number of people who need help,” Virginia said without regret.

Is it a matter of feeling inferior? Virginia's life awareness has reached a level that I can only look up to. They are not on the same path. That is Wu Yu's current judgment. "Then keep working hard. I'll thank you on behalf of the whole world."

Wu Yu said jokingly, and then he actually prepared to leave.

But reality prevented him from getting his way. Just then, a burly man with several henchmen approached Virginia. He stood before her, his eyes filled with undisguised greed and lust. Then, with a grin, he said, "Great Holy Maiden, I need your help."

"Sir, what can I do for you?" Virginia's politeness never changed depending on the person she was talking to; her eyes were so clear, and her heart was so broad that it seemed to encompass everything.

"It's not convenient to talk here, come with us." The thug's words were full of malice.

“Okay.” Virginia didn’t suspect anything.

Virginia really did leave with that group of thugs, and Wu Yu, who had just left, witnessed all of this.

"Sigh." Wu Yu sighed, sensing that he was in trouble again. He changed direction and followed them discreetly.

The capital was prosperous, but that doesn't mean there weren't dilapidated corners.

When they arrived at a deserted alley, the men stopped.

"Sir, what can I do for you?" Even now, Virginia's tone was exactly the same as before, completely oblivious to the danger around her.

"Hahaha, you knew it, this saintess is a complete idiot." The thug laughed wildly, then looked at the innocent-looking Virginia and said with a lewd grin, "We're short on cash for brothels lately, so we'd like to use your body to relieve our pent-up desires, is that alright?"
