At that ti, she had just been brought back to the church by Bai Yanluo not long ago and had just beco the envied but actually useless backup Saintess.
At the banquet celebrating her becoming a backup Saintess, Xue Tianao, the ambassador of the Snowy Night Empire visiting the Red Lotus Leaf Empire, also ca to the inner church and participated in the banquet.
--
"Congratulations on becoming the backup Saintess, Miss ngxi," Xue Tianao seized the opportunity when Bai Yanluo temporarily left ngxi’s side, leaving her unprotected. He quickly appeared before the silver-haired girl, showing off his elegant deanor. After the basic greetings, he held ngxi’s hand, which was covered by a black glove, and kissed the back of her hand according to traditional etiquette.
He then led ngxi directly to the center of the dance floor, entering the normal course of the ball. ngxi, who was not familiar with noble etiquette and banquet procedures, and even the world itself, was led by Xue Tianao and danced with him on the dance floor. Amidst applause, the dance between Xue Tianao and ngxi ca to a perfect end.
After that, Xue Tianao continued to hold ngxi’s hand, avoiding a crowd of ’competitors,’ and led her to the balcony, where there was almost no one.
"Miss ngxi, your dancing skills are excellent. Are you really just a beginner?"
When they were alone, Xue Tianao showed an elegant and gentle smile and skillfully started a conversation with ngxi. Facing this elegant blonde man, ngxi chose to cooperate.
...
...
"Would you like to see the snow? It’s not difficult. If I have the opportunity, may I invite you to Sky do? The scenery of the Long Ice Lake in winter nights is second to none."
After so communication, Xue Tianao, who thought the timing was right, smiled and extended the invitation.
However, listening to Xue Tianao’s endless words and looking at the handso, elegant, and considerate man dressed in Snowy Night Empire’s traditional attire, ngxi couldn’t help but frown.
ngxi was sensitive to expressions and tones. Whenever soone around her tried to deceive or trick her, she could generally discern their true intentions through careful observation, as long as she was given enough ti.
During her ti with Xue Tianao, ngxi gradually noticed the falsehood in his smile after learning so of his expression habits. Obviously, this foreign prince who wanted to beco her friend was no different from those people who approached her with ulterior motives, wanting to gain sothing from her. Was it reputation? Power? Or her body?
ngxi didn’t know, but instinctively, she didn’t want to continue talking with Xue Tianao.
In the end, he was just another person who wanted her to go with him. She really didn’t understand where he got the confidence from after talking for just a short ti...
ngxi couldn’t help but complain in her heart. However, considering that he was the crown prince of the Snowy Night Empire, ngxi still showed a polite and friendly smile and declined gently:
"Sorry, Your Highness, I need to focus on my cultivation right now, and I still have a lot to learn. I don’t have ti to go to the Snowy Night Empire."
However, Xue Tianao seed to have anticipated ngxi’s rejection and showed a handso smile without any panic.
"Miss ngxi, I understand your feelings. Cultivation is indeed important. But... you should know that spending all your ti on cultivation can backfire. You need to rest appropriately."
"Do you an, your Highness, that I should go to Sky do with you to rest?"
"It’s not just about resting."
Xue Tianao shook his head, a faint golden light flickering in his eyes.
"Your current training thods within the Asumos Church are not reasonable. My suggestion is for you to co to Sky do, where I will teach you how to cultivate efficiently and instruct you on any knowledge you wish to acquire. At the sa ti, you can experience the happiness that is hard to find within the Asumos Church."
"You should know that I am the Son of Destiny, the only existence in this world that can understand you. I will not be influenced by your power, nor will I fear the power within you."
"Co to Sky do with . Together, we two chosen ones can strive to save this world and fulfill our mission."
With that, Xue Tianao slowly raised his hand and stroked a strand of ngxi’s silver-white hair on her cheek. On Xue Tianao’s face, the gentle, reliable, and confident smile that could captivate countless naive girls beca even more intense. He gradually moved closer to ngxi. With his charming smile, gentle words, strength, and the mysterious power in his eyes, Xue Tianao had experienced many battles in the field of romance.
However, this ti, things didn’t go as simply as Xue Tianao had imagined. When ngxi’s hair was touched by him, she suddenly felt a chill. The ’Power of the Holy Spirit’ was a gift from the Goddess that could make people around the Girl of Destiny feel affection for her without knowing it. ngxi didn’t like this power; she despised the force that subtly twisted others’ will.
Yet, at this mont, ngxi was surprised to feel this power from Xue Tianao’s eyes. Apparently, the man in front of her was trying to use this power to influence her will. Unconsciously, ngxi clenched her fists tightly. Xue Tianao’s gaze, which intended to see through her heart and completely control her, and the enchanting power in his eyes were unbearable for ngxi.
Just as Xue Tianao was about to further caress her face, the volcano in ngxi’s heart erupted completely.
’For heaven’s sake...’
The next mont…
"Stop disgusting with that power!"
Caught off guard, the silver-haired girl roared and suddenly lifted her leg, delivering a brutal kick to Xue Tianao’s crotch...
--
Ti returned to the present, ngxi was caught off guard by Xue Tianao’s appearance. She had thought that even if they were to et, it would be after arriving at the reception hall, as the welcoming ceremony was usually presided over by a minister rather than the emperor himself.
What surprised her even more was,
After exchanging a few polite words with the Archbishop, Xue Tianao unexpectedly walked right up to ngxi in front of everyone. Recalling the extrely awkward ending of their first eting and looking at the ever-smiling and confident blonde man before her, ngxi felt as if countless imaginary horses were galloping through her heart. Why did he have the nerve to co specifically to find her?
"Your Majesty..."
A rare expression of embarrassnt appeared on ngxi’s face. However, Xue Tianao, as usual, wore his signature handso smile and politely pressed his hand to his chest, bowing to ngxi.
"Honorable Sintess, welco to Sky do. I knew we would et again."
"Hehe... Yes... Long ti no see, Your Majesty Xue Tianao..."
"I heard you recently clashed with the Divine Punishnt Sect and got injured? How is your wound now? Does it still hurt? If you need it, I can imdiately call the royal physician for you."
Xue Tianao looked at ngxi with a concerned face, each word filled with genuine care. This drew envious glances from the nurous young girls nearby. ngxi responded with an elegant and beautiful smile. Although she appeared to be smiling on the surface, she couldn’t help but scoff internally.
’Hehe, what a pretense...’
After getting used to hearing her sister Yumo’s heartfelt concern, ngxi felt nauseous listening to Xue Tianao’s insincere worry.
’Please, can you just stop pretending?’
That was what ngxi wanted to say. But for the sake of the bigger picture, she couldn’t speak it out loud.
"Your Majesty ,you don’t need to worry; the wound is not serious."
"Ah, that’s good, that’s good."
Xue Tianao appeared relieved.
"Now that you’ve co to the Snowy Night Empire, I can finally fulfill my promise to show you the snowscapes. I wonder if..."
However, just as Xue Tianao was trying to invite ngxi to spend ti together, Archbishop Nick, who was not far away on the carriage, suddenly spoke up:
"Your Majesty Xue Tianao, ngxi is tired from her journey and needs to rest. She also needs to report to the Pope with as soon as possible, so I’m afraid she won’t have ti to watch the snow with you. Please understand."
Nick was well aware of Xue Tianao’s interest in ngxi. If it weren’t for those weapons, they wouldn’t have easily let ngxi co to Sky do. But since she was here, they couldn’t let them spend ti together so easily. ’The Girl of Destiny must stay within the church and cannot be taken away by Xue Tianao.’
Seeing Nick intervening, Xue Tianao had no choice but to concede. After all, since she had co to Sky do, he would have plenty of opportunities; there was no need to rush.
"Ah, I’m sorry, I didn’t consider that."
Saying this, Xue Tianao turned to ngxi and gave her an apologetic look.
"Lady ngxi, please rest well. We will et at tonight’s welcoming banquet in the guesthouse."
ngxi: "..."
