Chapter 63: It’s so uncomfortable. Who is the good person working overtime on Saturday? ...

"Say something nice. The first thing he'll do when he wakes up is give you a claw."
The visitor touched his nose awkwardly and said, "It's rare for me to see a puppy sleeping."
I couldn't help but curl my lips: "He is a wolf. If you call him a dog again, he will really give you a claw."
Long had no choice but to withdraw his hand, with regret written all over his face. I asked unhappily, "Don't you hate turning into a human form? Why are you suddenly willing to come here?"
Long said with a serious expression: "I have encountered a big problem."
"What big deal can come from just arriving at the church?"
I took off my coat without looking back and put on the dress in my closet. It was still a white and gold dress with church characteristics, with the edges inlaid with diamonds to create patterns of stars, sun and moon. It was finely crafted, fitted, and outlined my slender waist. It was beautiful, no exaggeration.
The dragon was whirling around in a panic behind me: "I just found my own nest and the dragons in the church have been eyeing me. They want me to go to a party to meet the younger generation - there are a room full of glorious dragons, how can I dare to go!"
I buttoned up my silver buttons one by one and glanced at him sideways: "Can your disguise still be seen through?"
"Of course not, but I'm scared. I'm still a baby!"
I:"……"
"Just a friendly reminder, babies don't call themselves babies."
"But according to the age of the dragon clan, I am just a baby now."
Long said confidently, moving closer shamelessly: "So can you come with me?"
"Not now. I have to go to see the Pope."
Long's eyes lit up: "Then I'll go with you to meet him. After the meeting, we can go to a party together. You don't know, the type of shining dragon is the one I hate the most.
"I know your racial attributes are opposing."
"It's not just that! The Glorious Dragon is a well-known gossiper among the dragon clan. I'm really afraid that they will strip my pants off! I'm still a child and I must not fall into their hands!"
"You're still afraid of this?" I raised my eyebrows. "I thought you were fearless since you dared to steal their cubs' bodies."
"This is different. If I hadn't stolen this body, I would have died. If I had a choice, I would definitely not choose the bloodline of the Radiant Dragon. They are very close to each other, and they look at their cubs as if they were their own eyes. If they find out that I used their offspring, they will definitely hunt me down to death."
Long tutted. I guess there must be a backstory behind him similar to the Knight Commander waiting for me to unlock, but not now. I buttoned the last button in front of the mirror and said without looking back: "Come and help me fix my collar."
He said "Oh" and came over to help me adjust my collar. The hard white collar was turned inside out, and a sunrise was woven with gold thread, symbolizing the favor of the Lord of Light covering the earth.
The body temperature of a dragon is much higher than that of a human. My fingertips accidentally touched the back of my neck, which caused a burning sensation. Before I could say anything, the dragon withdrew his hand in shock: "No, sorry!"
I looked straight ahead and said, "Nothing, let's continue what we just said. After meeting the Pope, I will go to the dragon clan's banquet with you. I remember that they hate humans who are not contracted. Will it be okay if I go?"
"…You're right. What should I do? I don't want to be alone with them."
Long frowned tightly, and I thought for a moment: "As long as I can sneak in, it will be fine as long as you don't have to face them alone?"
"Um!!"
"Then it seems there is only one way."
Long pricked up his ears, looking expectant: "What's the solution?"
I said slowly: "Let's have a love affair."

As we all know, dragons are extremely proud creatures.
This arrogant arrangement is shown to the outside world as well as the inside world. Dragons from different branches discriminate against each other, let alone humans?
If I rashly join their gatherings, it will definitely be considered a provocation, so I can only find a reason for myself that they won't reject.
Looking around, only your partner qualifies.
Long was silent for a moment.
His violet eyes were round and round, like a frightened cat. I reached out my hand tentatively, but before I could touch him, he jumped three feet high in fright, stumbling over his words and unable to finish them: "You you you you! You you you you you you! You! You!"
"What do you mean by me? According to the proud character of the dragon race, only partners can enter your gathering. If I don't pretend to be your lover, should I fly in?"
I kept talking a lot but didn't get any response from the other party. I looked up in confusion and noticed Long's red ears.
I was a little helpless: "You are so innocent?"
"You're too... In any case, this won't work! This is absolutely not allowed!"
The dragon shook his head like a rattle and his face was as red as a monkey's butt.
I couldn't help but roll my eyes. "Why are you so shy? I am the one who suffers the consequences. If this gets out, I will no longer be the Son of Glory."
"No, I won't allow this! Are you kidding me? This is a partner!"
It was amazing that a person with wheat-colored skin could be so shy. I looked at him strangely: "I know, what's wrong with pretending to be a partner?"
“I don’t accept it!!”
His voice suddenly rose, and I quickly stood on tiptoe to cover his mouth: "Keep your voice down, there are servants of God guarding the door outside!"
Long didn't expect me to cover my mouth suddenly. His soft lips pressed against my palm. He wanted to speak but closed his mouth for some reason. His long wet eyelashes looked pure and innocent, like a helpless little prince being molested by a gangster.
I listened attentively to the noise outside the door, and only breathed a sigh of relief after I was sure that I had not attracted the attention of the servant of God. At the same time, Long also made up his mind and whispered: "No, absolutely not, you must try another method."
The hot air blew on my palm, and I withdrew my hand: "But this is the simplest method, do you really want to make it more difficult for yourself?"
Long struggled for a moment, then nodded heavily to confirm. I answered quickly, "Then think of a way."
The dragon suddenly wilted.
I snorted, "You want to find a good solution, but you don't want to be a fake lover. How can there be such a good thing in the world? When you go in alone and are questioned by those dragons, you will know how good I am."
Long Qiang pretended to be calm: "That's not what I meant! I just think it's unlikely. After all, you are the Holy Son of the Glorious Church. How can I become a..."
He paused, but didn't say the word in the end. He just lowered his head and looked at me aggrievedly. It was really hard to say anything harsh. I had to give up the idea reluctantly... No wonder.
I may be shy, but this is the only way to get in. I know how stubborn those dragons are. I just sold out my innocence. Compared with the consequences of being discovered, is this a sacrifice?
I almost grabbed Long by the collar and explained the whole thing to him, but as soon as I grabbed his collar, Long ran away in a panic as if his butt was on fire.
I remained silent for a while, and finally sighed.
So young people are innocent. When he grows up a few hundred years later, he will realize that his current panic is nothing.
Wait, did this guy say he would accompany me to see the Pope?
The corners of my mouth twitched as I watched him run away. What was the point of meeting the Pope? I even suspected that he was doing this on purpose, pretending to be shy to trick me. I could agree to his request and get rid of the task I gave him at the same time. This was really a clever move.
But considering that he helped me put my clothes in order, I'll let him off this time. I checked my dress in the mirror for the last time, and after making sure it was fine, I turned and walked towards the door. The servant guarding the door bowed to me and said, "Sir, is there anything you need?"
"I am going to see His Holiness the Pope now."
He nodded in understanding. This was a necessary step to enter the church. After returning from a mission, the high-ranking officials would change their clothes in the church and then go to meet the Pope to express their respect.
"Bishop Maria has arranged everything for you. Please follow me."
The elegant and noble white corridor was spotless. The footsteps of the servants in monk's clothes were light, which made people feel awe. The sunlight poured down from the skylight in the upper corner, forming bright spots on the ground. I followed him and listened to the monotonous footsteps echoing in the air.
Finally, the servant of God stopped in front of the marble door at the end: "This is the reception room of His Holiness the Pope. His Holiness is waiting for you, Holy Son."
I actually didn’t really want to meet the Pope because I already knew what he looked like.
I pushed the door open and went in. The man in the room looked up at me, with a gentle expression, blond hair and blue eyes. This face made me feel so familiar that I lowered my head and didn't look at him.
"I am back, Your Holiness."
After a moment, he added another greeting.
"My Lord."
He smiled and said in a gentle voice: "Welcome back, An."
There will never be only one incarnation of God in the world.
The Pope of the Church of Glory is proof of this.

I didn't want to see Samuel again in this way. But I could tell from the trailer what kind of person this Pope was. He, or rather, He, helped me up and asked me in a casual tone.
"Did you have fun out there?"
I nodded. He motioned for me to sit down: "That's good. Take a good rest during this time. If you need anything, you can come to me."
The "I" He said was of course not referring to himself, but to the owner of this body, the true Pope. With this sentence, I can really walk sideways in the Glorious Church.
I said dryly, "Thank you for your kindness."
It's not that I don't want to have some emotions. But when I look at Samuel at this moment, the face of the young blond child always comes to my mind. The contrast between the two is so strong that it makes me feel a little out of place.
Samuel saw that I was distracted but didn't point it out. He just said, "There is something I need you to do later. The Goddess of Nature has had some conflicts with the Lord of Darkness recently. As His allies, we naturally have to do our part. He will send His Son to the Holy City of Glory to study, and you will be needed to receive him when the time comes."
I came back to my senses: "Who's coming?"
Samuel thought I was asking Him, "Son of Nature."
Of course I know he is the son of the goddess of nature, but the problem is that Odysseus thought I was killed by the dark believers. If you do this, how can I explain it to you?
Idiot! Samuel you are a big idiot!!
I replied in agony, "Yes, sir."
What else can we do? What if we kill Him?
Damn, I might as well kill Him instead of making things difficult for myself!
