Bai Yue Ling’s scream pierced through the water and leaves, echoing through the tranquil night sky.
The two young women on the shore were stunned for a moment, then snapped into action. Lie Lie immediately jumped into the water and scooped Bai Yue Ling out, asking, “Little White, what’s wrong? Are you okay?”
Bai Yue Ling clenched her teeth, feeling a soul-piercing pain surge through her head, every inch of her skin stinging as if pricked by needles. “Ahhh… it… it hurts so much… I feel so awful…” She trembled uncontrollably, her normally snow-white, silky skin now flushed pink, her temperature blazing hot as if she were burning with a high fever.
Seeing the situation was wrong, the Princess quickly pulled a golden potion from her bag, uncorked it, pinched Bai Yue Ling’s cheeks, and poured it into her mouth. “This is a Purification Potion I bought for 10W gold coins—it can cure all negative status effects.” The Princess looked at her, her face full of worry.
The golden Purification Potion gradually flowed into Bai Yue Ling’s mouth, but her condition showed no sign of relief. She remained curled up in agony, whimpering heartbreaking cries of pain.
“It’s not working!” Lie Lie swished her tail anxiously. “Is there any other way?”
The Princess shook her head. “No… my class is Summoner. I don’t have healing abilities.”
Lie Lie held Bai Yue Ling tightly, confused. “Why did Little White suddenly end up like this?” She was just chatting fine a moment ago—how did she suddenly start screaming in pain? Poisoned? Impossible, Little White just logged on… Could it be a curse? Is there an enemy targeting her?
The Princess said, “Anyway, let’s carry her back to the house first, then contact Little White’s NPC friends and see if they have any solutions…”
Suddenly, a strong, forceful knocking came from the front door.
Lie Lie and the Princess exchanged glances, unsure what to do for a moment.
“Ying Ye and Silver Tooth have keys—they wouldn’t knock. So who could it be?”
“Maybe it’s the enemy who cursed Little White…”
“Or maybe it’s one of Little White’s NPC friends.”
“You hold Little White; I’ll go open the door.” With that, Lie Lie walked to the door and carefully pulled it open.
Standing behind the door was a golden-haired, blue-eyed knight in a silver skirt armor, dashing and valiant, her breastplate swollen, her azure eyes gleaming with unshakable determination.
“Hello.” Ai Ya introduced herself. “I’m here for Little White. Her Majesty the Queen requests her presence at the Palace.”
As she spoke, Ai Ya spotted Bai Yue Ling struggling desperately in the Princess’s arms, her face twisted in pain. She immediately furrowed her sword-like brows, brushed past Lie Lie, and strode quickly toward the Princess.
Seeing Ai Ya approaching with such an imposing air, the Princess instinctively shielded Bai Yue Ling, thinking the newcomer was an enemy. “What do you think you’re doing?”
Ai Ya said coldly, “Give Little White to me.” Without another word, she snatched Bai Yue Ling from the Princess’s arms, and the Princess was powerless to resist.
“You…” Lie Lie was about to flare up when she saw Ai Ya quickly strip off her armor, revealing her graceful figure wrapped in a pure white dress underneath. Then she hugged Bai Yue Ling’s soft, petite body tightly, and a warm, gentle holy light spread through her arms like ripples on water, slowly healing Bai Yue Ling’s pain.
The warm holy light dispelled the chill around them, but it wasn’t enough.
Though Bai Yue Ling’s complexion improved slightly, she still trembled in agony. Ai Ya let out a sigh, knelt on one knee while holding Bai Yue Ling, and lowered her head in prayer. As a chosen one of the Goddess of Judgment, her prayer ascended with the holy light from the heavens, clearly reaching the ears of the Goddess of Judgment far away in the Heavenly Realm: “Goddess, please stop.”
At Ai Ya’s plea, the Goddess of Judgment truly closed her eyes, cutting off her gaze, no longer exerting pressure on this adorable white-haired, big-breasted girl. However, a system notification rang out by Bai Yue Ling’s ear—
[You have failed the Judgment Trial. From this point forward, damage dealt to you by the Goddess of Judgment is increased by 1%.]
As the Goddess of Judgment closed her eyes, Bai Yue Ling’s trembling ceased. She curled up in Ai Ya’s arms and murmured, “Thank you… Ai Ya… you saved me.”
Ai Ya held her gently and said softly, “Do you need some rest?”
“No need… just a couple minutes to recover and I’ll be fine.” Bai Yue Ling lowered her eyelids, her pale, slender arms wrapping around Ai Ya’s neck while her two plump, fair legs tightly coiled around her firm, supple waist, expressing her unconditional trust in this big sister in the most intimate way possible.
Ai Ya supported Bai Yue Ling’s body and turned her head to look at the two girls who could only stand by helplessly, speaking down to them, “From now on, if something like this happens to Little White again, just contact me immediately. No need for you to run around frantically.”
Seeing Ai Ya’s haughty demeanor, Lie Lie felt a wave of irritation rise for no reason. “Though I’m grateful you saved Little White, I don’t think we were running around frantically.”
Ai Ya picked up the scattered armor with one hand while holding Bai Yue Ling with the other, then walked out the door without looking back. “No, you don’t know how to take care of Little White at all. In a situation like this, only I can save her.”
Watching Ai Ya’s retreating figure, Lie Lie let out a light scoff and slapped her tail against the ground in dissatisfaction, making “smack, smack” sounds. “Tch… who the hell is she anyway?”
The Princess lightly fanned herself and sighed, “No idea, but I’ve never seen her before—yet she acts like Little White belongs to her.”
“But that attitude is seriously annoying. We’re the ones who are Little White’s…”
“She’s called ‘Ai Ya,’ right? We can ask Miss Ying Ye later.”
The two recalled the earlier scenes and suddenly remembered a small detail. When they pulled Little White out of the water, the maid outfit had cutouts in those three places, along with traces of paint… So that meant Little White had been using body paint to get by all this time?
Meanwhile, on a secret path leading to the Palace, Ai Ya was carrying Bai Yue Ling under the moonlight, with no one else around, the scene tranquil like a painting.
Bai Yue Ling clung tightly to Ai Ya, breathing in short gasps, recalling the terrible pain from earlier with lingering fear. It hurt so much—really, truly hurt. Though it wasn’t her first time enduring the Goddess of Judgment’s gaze, this pain had far exceeded her expectations.
Even her 99 points of Spirit barely got her through it. In the end, it was Ai Ya’s prayer that made the Goddess of Judgment break her gaze, but it also resulted in being judged as “failed the Judgment Trial.”
The Goddess of Judgment’s damage against her had increased by 1%… Though the number wasn’t large, if there was a first time, there would likely be a second and a third. Over time, she would completely lose her resistance to the Goddess of Judgment’s gaze.
This can’t go on. Is there any way to make the Goddess of Judgment stop her gaze? Why not ask Ai Ya—she’s a chosen one of the Goddess of Judgment.
Bai Yue Ling nuzzled against Ai Ya’s body, their ample softness pressing together, her supple belly pressed against the knight’s well-trained abs. An indescribable sense of fulfillment filled Bai Yue Ling’s whole body. Finally, she got to experience hugging a big sister… In the morning there was Silver Tooth, in the evening there was Ai Ya—big sisters are amazing…
Just as Bai Yue Ling was happily about to ask, Ai Ya spoke up first:
“Little White, this pose of yours… why are you so skilled at it?”
