Chapter 5: Let the Holy Light Purify Everything, Part 3
As long as there’s no Lan, they shouldn’t be able to catch up to me for a while.
It was probably unintentional. She couldn’t possibly know that Lan was a stalker. Meaning, by chance, the most troublesome one was dealt with.
“Ugh, My Lord, how can you hold me… Please let me down.”
“Ah, sorry, sorry. I just held you in the heat of the moment. You must be tired right now, right?”
She hadn’t fully recovered yet, and she had just used her spiritual power. She should be very fatigued right now.
“I’m alright. You healed my wounds before, so I’m fine now.”
“Really?”
It’s better to put her down.
I’m not the kind of person who would cling to someone.
After putting Sheng on a park bench, I found a vending machine nearby. Although I didn’t bring my wallet, I was glad I had my phone.
If Lan were normal, I definitely would have thrown my phone away. But since Lan had become like that, keeping it on me probably wouldn’t cause any problems.
Using my phone to pay for two bottles of hot oolong tea, I sat next to Sheng, offered her one while saying,
“Ah, thank you…”
Sheng took the oolong tea, but instead of opening it, she warmed her hands with it.
It is winter, and she’s wearing so little… Speaking of which, how did she live before meeting me? It wouldn’t be strange for her to freeze to death outside in this cold weather wearing so little.
“…Strange, isn’t it?”
“Yes, My Lord.”
“You don’t need to call me My Lord. I have a name: Juncheng An.”
Being called Master is great, but that’s only for acquaintances. Being called Master for no reason, I can’t accept it with peace of mind.
“It’s fine. Instead, why did you help me?”
“Because you are my Master.”
“No, I mean, why did I become your Master? Are you sure you’re not mistaken?”
“I’m not mistaken. You are the Master I should serve. God guided me this way.”
“God… What god are you talking about…”
“I haven’t seen God with my own eyes, but God has given me a divine revelation.”
…It’s just talking in my head, isn’t it?

Are you sure you weren’t tricked?
But who could have tricked her? The spiritual power Sheng displayed when using her holy light ability was very strong. In terms of instantaneous burst, it was no less than…
If she mistook someone for a god, that person should at least be equal to her, or rather, show stronger, overwhelming spiritual power. That’s the only way she would mistake that for a god.
In this world, is there anyone stronger than Sheng…
And why did that person send Sheng to find me, even recognize me as Master…
Is it someone related to me?
I can’t think of anyone. In my memory, the strongest in this world are Ling, Jiuyuan, and Miss Shirley. Everyone else is just…
Then, I originally thought I was an anomaly among the top three and billions of people. To think there are others who could be my equal…
Well, whatever. I’m too lazy to think about it. When the time comes, it will naturally be revealed.
For now, I should talk to Sheng.
“Whether it’s a divine revelation or anything else, after seeing that scene, you should know I’m not a good person, right?”
Sheng showed a troubled expression and said.
“They are all my women. I have a physical relationship with all of them. Can you still call me a holy Master after that?”
A holy act of procreation?
Pfft, how ridiculous.
“Th-that… perhaps those decadent women forced you…”
“It has nothing to do with them. They didn’t coerce me. It was mutual, and I love them. It’s just that their state today was a bit off. Under emotional influence, they went berserk. When they calm down, I’ll probably go back. After all, that’s my home.”
“Love them.”
“Yes. Actually, if I hadn’t controlled myself today, or if I had been in the mood, the scenario wouldn’t be me escaping with you, but me pulling you in to join the party. Do you still think I’m a holy Master you should serve?”
“It has nothing to do with God. What do you think?”
Sheng lowered her head, gripped the oolong tea in her hand, and her voice became much quieter. J \ Said
Ah, did I push too hard?
Destroying her faith like this, face-to-face, I was a bit excessive.
This kind of thing should be done slowly.
“So, there’s no need for you to call me Master. I’m not a Master worthy of your service.”
“….”
*Grumble.*
Sheng’s pretty face turned red. She desperately covered her stomach and curled up, stuttering,
“N-no, this… I didn’t mean to…”
“Heh, you’re hungry, aren’t you? Let me take you to eat first. However, it’s quite late. I can probably only take you for fast food, so please bear with it a little.”
Without waiting for Sheng to say anything, I picked her up again. I noticed that she was still barefoot.
I can’t let a girl walk barefoot in this cold winter, can I?
Using my phone’s app, I checked for nearby stores that were still open. As expected, only fast-food restaurants were still in business.
It is, after all, midnight…
Actually, I really don’t like fast food. Even for burgers, I’d make one myself… But now, I have no choice. Let’s fill our stomachs first.
We casually entered a burger joint. There were no other customers inside. The drowsy attendant inside greeted us listlessly as we entered, then looked at us with a strange gaze.
Well, neither Sheng nor I were dressed for going out.
I was only wearing a tattered, extremely simple dress, and I was in my pajamas.
After ordering two set meals casually, I paid with my phone, once again feeling that it was wise of me to not forget my phone in a moment of urgency.
The restaurant had heating, which was much warmer than outside.
While waiting for the food, I asked Sheng another question.
“By the way, Sheng, what was that skill you used on Lan just now… Oh, Lan is…”
“I know. Miss Lan you’re referring to is that woman with short hair and indecent clothing, right?”
“Ah, yes. You know Lan.”
“I met her before the arrival of the New World. Also, God has already informed me about the information of the servants around you. I know the rest.”
Before the arrival of the New World? As expected, Sheng has memories of the previous world.
“Because? Then you should also know Lou Ling?” J \ SF Light Novel
“Yes, Lou Ling is this world itself, isn’t she? A very great existence.”
I didn’t expect Sheng to know more than I imagined. But if she knows about Ling’s existence, does she still believe in God?
“God is different, My Lord. It’s connected to you…”
“What is it?”
“Your orders are ready.”
At this moment, the attendant brought the ordered food. I couldn’t ask further, so I said:
“Let’s eat first. You must have been hungry for a long time.”
“Thank you for the Lord’s gift.”
Sheng prayed first before starting to eat. However, looking at her confused expression and her unfamiliar movements, it seemed like it was her first time.
So, I demonstrated first, peeled the burger wrapper, and took a bite.
Sheng watched my actions and understood how to eat. She also took a small bite like me.
Her eyes instantly lit up, sparkling. It wasn’t a metaphor; they were literally shining.
“This is so delicious! What is this, My Lord?”
“…It’s just a normal burger.”
“A burger? It feels like bread, but it has chicken sandwiched in the middle. What a divine creation…”
Just thinking about it made me want to cry. I couldn’t help but pat her head to comfort her.
“This is just the most ordinary one. I’ll make you something more delicious in the future.”
“Are… are you God?”
“Haha, maybe. But that’s assuming I don’t get caught and taken back…”
Otherwise, don’t talk about cooking. They’d probably just drink my raw, extra-concentrated juice.
“Right, Sheng, what was that skill you used just now…”
“That was the Light of Purification. Its nature just changed from material purification to mental purification… Hmm, I think it’s better this way.”
“Oh! Does it have a duration? Did they completely change their minds after being purified?”
“It lasts for about three days. And I can only use it once every three days. If I use it any more, my mind won’t be able to handle it.”
“Once every three days, and lasts for three…”
It seems to be a single-target skill. What a shame.
Well, if it were an area-of-effect skill, it would be invincible.
“Yes, when I was attacked by the rough barbarian earlier, I just happened to be in a state where I couldn’t use it. If I hadn’t met you, My Lord, I might have already…” J \ SF Light Novel
“I see. That’s good that I met you in time.”
To save my own F Witch personally, this is also a form of destiny.
“However, it has a duration…”
These few days are fine. Once Lan recovers, she will definitely retaliate.
The key is that Ling is not on our side, so escaping will be even harder.
Moreover, my physical abilities have been weakened by Ling. Although my spiritual power is still there, because my stamina and energy are not unlimited, I probably can’t use skills like Thought Acceleration without restraint. Otherwise, the exhaustion from the burst will make me faint instantly.
“Forget it. Thinking too much is useless. After we finish eating, let’s find a place to stay first.”
Sheng was eating the burger like a hamster. The pure saint showing such a side was quite cute.
With her mouth full of food, Sheng swallowed and asked me,
“Find a place to stay? Where are you going, My Lord?”
“Although most of them have teamed up, there are still loyal servants who haven’t betrayed me.”
Haha, where else can I go in this situation?
It has to be there.
Half an hour later, we arrived in front of an apartment building by taxi.
This is Lily’s house.
That’s right. My cute Sinu’s home is our temporary refuge.
I knocked on the door. It was very late, but I had no choice but to trouble her to get up.
“Are you home?”
I just asked normally at the door, and immediately heard hurried footsteps. She opened the door for me right away.
Lily, wearing a purple nightgown, appeared before me. One of the straps had slipped off, exposing half of her chest. She probably rushed out of the bedroom as soon as she heard my voice.
“Master! Why are you here so late-”
Before she could finish speaking.
Sheng rushed forward and tackled Lily.
The two of them fell in front of the entrance with a loud crash.
Huh?
“…”
“Demon! Why are you here!”
Huh?
What’s going on?
Do these two know each other?
