"Hey, who are you? Which temple are you from?" the leading nun asked with an unfriendly expression.
After she finished speaking, the group of seven had just walked up to Xiao He.
The latter blinked, glanced at the considerable number of commoners in the hall, and replied without batting an eye, "I fled here to seek refuge. I found these clothes and put them on. I am not one of your people."
"Clothes found?" The nuns were skeptical.
“Yes! Look at these shoes? And look at this skirt? This size?” Xiao He lifted her foot and swung the heel of the shoe, which didn’t even touch her foot, while tightening the apron around her waist to reveal her true waist size, clearly distancing herself from them.
Where are your old clothes? Why did you change them?
"The original clothes got wet."
Where did you get lost? And how did you get in?
“He brought him in from outside.” Xiao He pointed to Wang Xuefeng.
The seven people looked at each other, after all, the Holy Maiden Temple had not said that it would not help the civilians.
"Then, why did you scribble all over your face? What are you trying to hide?" the leading nun pressed on relentlessly.
"Because I heard that the enemy likes beautiful women, I'll be safer if I'm a little ugly."
Xiao He's answer was reasonable and impeccable, leaving the nuns speechless.
"So you...were you saved by him?" another somewhat frail nun asked.
"Is that so?" Xiao He looked at Wang Xuefeng. "I suppose so."
"Hmm... what are you doing now...?" The frail nun found it somewhat absurd, pointed to the ring, and then left the rest of her sentence unfinished.
"Oh, this?" Xiao He suddenly smiled shyly, deliberately biting her lip, rubbing the corner of her apron with both hands, and swaying her body coyly: "He said he fell in love with me at first sight and said he wanted to be my boyfriend. I thought he was so handsome, so I agreed!"
Everyone fell silent.
I agreed...
Agreed...
I understand...
La...
The last four words were like a spell, making everyone dizzy and disoriented.
"Don't believe me? You can ask him!" Xiao He turned to Wang Xuefeng and winked.
Everyone instinctively turned their gaze to the latter, who nodded slightly and silently uttered a soft "hmm" sound from his throat.
The group looked at each other, and suddenly felt a burning sensation on their faces.
He intended to slink away, but the leading nun wouldn't let it go: "Since you're not one of the temple's people, don't walk around in these clothes. It'll cause misunderstandings."
"Mmm! Thank you for reminding me." Xiao He smiled sweetly.
"There's a restroom at the end of the corridor, turn left. Remember to change your clothes quickly."
"OK!"
"Hey—you eight! Come with me!" A serious-looking old nun happened to pass by, but she seemed to be in a hurry. Before she could finish speaking, she walked away a long way.
"Eight?" Xiao He pointed to his nose, puzzled.
“Sister Suna is known for her short temper. Since you are a civilian seeking refuge, it’s not unreasonable for you to help her.” The leading nun said calmly, and like a squad leader, she took the lead and followed.
"Sabery! Wait for us!" The group hurriedly chased after them.
Xiao He pursed his lips and looked at Wang Xuefeng: "Go and take a look?"
The latter nodded: "This old nun is very flustered; there must be some emergency. We should go and see."
After saying that, the two climbed over the fence and followed.
Unexpectedly, after going around in circles, they ended up back at the entrance to that basement.
"It seems that the fact that someone is behind this has been exposed, but they haven't found the real culprit yet," Xiao He said softly.
Wang Xuefeng carefully surveyed his surroundings, but even in people's blind spots, he did not find the middle-aged nun that Xiao He had mentioned.
"You! Go! Search the entire area below!" Sister Suna shouted angrily, hands on her hips, directing the many nuns she had summoned along the way, including Xiao He who was bringing up the rear.
"Wait! You! How can a man like you come here? Go, go, don't follow me here!"
Wang Xuefeng looked at the arm blocking his way, then at Xiao He who had disappeared around the corner of the stairs, and scratched his head, thinking, "I was here just now. There were two nuns guarding the door then."
"What?!" Sister Suna's eyes widened in shock. "There's never anyone guarding this place! Because there's a barrier here!"
“Uh…” Wang Xuefeng hesitated, “There was indeed no barrier just now, and someone was guarding it.”
"When did this happen?!"
"More than an hour ago."
Sister Suna's breathing suddenly quickened, as if she were particularly angry.
"Who on earth dares to offend Polis! How dare they! How dare they!"
After a long while, she suddenly remembered something and glared at Wang Xuefeng, asking, "Why did you come over just now?"
“Because…” Wang Xuefeng coughed, “I sensed strange fluctuations underground, so I wanted to investigate, but your people stopped me, and I didn’t go down in the end.”
After hearing his words, Sister Suna held her forehead and paced back and forth in the narrow corridor, as if she was extremely anxious.
"Has something happened?" Wang Xuefeng asked tentatively.
"A wretched rat destroyed our barrier nexus!"
"And now?"
"It's being repaired now!"
...
The basement had many rooms, and the nuns who came down first seemed very orderly, lining up to search one room at a time.
So Xiao He also entered a dimly lit storage room in order.
In this world filled with magic, people generally don't keep valuables in such places; instead, they choose to use some kind of magical storage device.
Therefore, the most valuable thing in such a place is probably "knowledge".
For example, someone's diary, or a forgotten, useless book.
Xiao He was also bored, so he started rummaging through the books.
An old map of the Temple of the Virgin Mary, which was discarded due to expansion.
A slipper with a broken strap.
A box of expired cosmetics.
"It looks like a garbage dump..."
Xiao He flipped through the paper with two fingers, looking disgusted.
When only the last large cabinet remained, she didn't hesitate and pulled it open.
"Squeak—"
A female corpse, with its enormous eyes, stood in the cabinet, staring intently at her.
"Aishoba~~~"
Xiao He instinctively took three steps back.
After calming my heart, I realized that this was the unlucky guy who had diligently repaired the barrier but ended up getting killed.
"How did her body get moved here...?"
"Damn... I was so scared my head almost flew off..."
Xiao He angrily pulled out his knife, which was still the same "Wusheng" knife.
Switch to "No Death".
Advanced skill 1: Resurrection.
"Buzz..."
Even with only 10% of the Life God's power, it's more than enough to revive a person.
And so this unlucky fellow became the first person favored by the "God of Pregnancy".
