Chapter 273: Daughter Pays

Description

After issuing the tasks, Hui Lian left. She was always busy every day, and while Qing Jin lay sick in bed, it was she who worried herself sick over the Kingdom.

“Do you two have something to say as well?” Bai Yue Ling looked toward the other two Princesses.

Xue Long still held that silver-white spear, her shirt unable to conceal the fullness of her chest. With both hands propping up her bosom, her phoenix eyes were clear and bright.

“Our duel might have to be postponed for a while. Big Sister also said the Royal Capital could get quite chaotic in the coming days, so I’m taking my personal guards to patrol the outskirts of the Royal Capital and clear out any hidden monster nests and bandit groups.”

She paused, then thought it over. “As for the duel… let’s wait until things stabilize here in the Royal Capital.”

Bai Yue Ling shook her head. “That’s not good.”

Xue Long asked in confusion, “What, are you that eager to duel me?”

“Huh? Are you misunderstanding something? That’s not what I mean.” Bai Yue Ling let out a sly laugh. “I’m just worried that if we keep dragging this out, Mistress Qing Jin will recover. Then when Mistress sees her own daughter groveling naked before me like a small fry, will she punch me like she did earlier?”

“What did you say…!” Xue Long’s sword-like brows shot up as she clenched her fists, itching to land a punch right on that bratty little face.

In the end, she let out a cold snort and strode away on her long, fair, powerful legs without looking back. “Don’t worry. When the time comes, I’ll let Mother enjoy a good look at your disgraceful state.”

Bai Yue Ling smugly wiggled her little bottom and called out to Xue Long’s retreating figure with a laugh, “I’ll be waiting anytime~”

She’d mocked the big sister figure again. Awesome!

After finishing her victory animation, she turned her head to look at Wei Ji, who was still standing in place.

Wei Ji smiled faintly. Her waist-length red hair moved without wind, dancing wildly behind her like frantic tentacles, making no effort to hide the intense desire buried in her heart.

‘She’s here to call me to sleep with her, isn’t she…’ Bai Yue Ling swallowed her saliva, her momentum considerably weaker than before as she said, “I might not be free tonight. Ai Ya is still waiting for me. I need to accompany her to see Taoxiya.”

Wei Ji furrowed her brow and asked, “What business do you have with Lady Taoxiya?”

“I have some things I want to say to the Goddess of Judgment.”

“Communicating with the Goddess… then I won’t tag along.” Wei Ji placed both hands behind her back, bending forward with a pretty smile. “I’ll be waiting for you on the bed in my room. After you’re done with your business, you’ll definitely come back to keep me company, right?”

Bai Yue Ling patted her chest and assured her, “Of course! Please believe in my promise!”

Wei Ji nodded in satisfaction and swayed her hips as she left at ease.

After Wei Ji was gone, Bai Yue Ling finally let out a light snort. “Small fry… I said I’d keep you company, sure, but I never said tonight~”

“Letting you drain me once is already pushing it, but you want to drain me every single day? Dream on!”

Just then, a system notification sounded, and Bai Yue Ling was delighted to find that the 24-hour time limit on the maid outfit had finally expired.

She quickly took off the maid outfit and changed into the vine dress that Si Ta Na had given her.

Mother’s taste is the best, after all.

As for this maid outfit that’s maxed out on embarrassment? Go rot in the corner of my inventory. I, Little White, would rather die out there than ever wear you again!

After changing back into the vine dress that covered her body completely, Bai Yue Ling instantly felt her sense of security skyrocket. She no longer had to walk with both hands covering herself.

She walked out boldly and found Ai Ya standing outside. “Sorry to keep you waiting. Let’s go. Destination, the Justice Cathedral!”

Ai Ya looked her up and down. “Can’t you wear something else?”

“What’s wrong with this outfit? Si Ta Na Mama gave it to me.”

“But if you wear a dress from the Nature Church to our Judgment Church, people might think you’re here to pick a fight.”

“Ha, who’d dare pick a fight with me?” Bai Yue Ling showed no fear. “I’m not even afraid of that little catgirl High Priest of your church. Who can stop me?”

Ai Ya smiled faintly. “I hope you can still say that later.”

The Judgment Church during the day and the Judgment Church at night were two completely different scenes.

After ten o’clock at night, the great doors of the Justice Cathedral would be firmly shut, never allowing any outsider to enter again.

The soundproofing barrier personally cast by the bishop would seal all sound within, ensuring not a single noise could leak out.

Then, the nuns would get busy. They would take various implements from the warehouse, escort prisoners from the underground dungeons, and simultaneously pray to the Goddess of Judgment.

As the half-past-ten bell tolled, these ordinarily solemn judgment nuns unveiled their hidden true faces.

That was a secret known only within the Judgment Church—a terrifying world that outsiders could never glimpse.

Under dim lighting, the solemn great hall was divided into several small areas. Pink mist filled every corner, strange crystalline liquids dripped onto the floor, accompanied by fierce thrusting motions and miserable cries.

“Are you going to talk or not?”

Guji~!

“No… please, no more tormenting me… Reverend Sister…”

“Begging won’t help. If you still won’t confess honestly, those three fingers from before will turn into five.”

“Please… I’ll talk, I’ll confess everything! Please, spare me!”

“Sorry, too late~”

And those nuns who were lifeless and rigid during the day now revealed terrifying sadistic expressions one after another. The most vicious criminals rumored to exist could only wail miserably beneath their fingers.

Bai Yue Ling, who had snuck in through the back door, turned pale and clung tightly to Ai Ya’s thigh, trembling as she crouched on the ground.

Listening to the cries of anguish coming from not far away, Bai Yue Ling’s eyes went wide as she said fearfully, “Wh… what’s going on!? Has the Dark Faction invaded the Judgment Church!?”

“No, this is just what the Judgment Church is normally like.” Ai Ya’s expression was calm, clearly accustomed to such scenes. “And because spreading this outside could easily cause misunderstandings, it’s always been kept secret.”

“Normally like?” Bai Yue Ling asked. “This isn’t a matter of misunderstanding! Isn’t the Judgment Church’s duty supposed to be judging and punishing the sins of the world?”

Ai Ya explained helplessly, “Actually, this is one of the methods for punishing sin.”

“A thousand years ago, when people faced criminals, they would honestly use interrogation techniques, trying every means to make criminals confess their crimes…”

“Until later, when a High Priest with incredibly nimble fingers appeared. She discovered that there was no need to prepare complex torture devices at all—just a few twists of her fingers were enough to make criminals suffer unbearably and honestly confess all their crimes.”

“Because this method was extremely efficient, it spread throughout the church and became a required course for all judgment bishops, priests, and nuns. The originally solemn and proper church style was gone forever…”

‘She originally thought the Nature Church’s Vacuum Party was already outrageous enough, but who knew the Judgment Church played even dirtier games than the Nature Church!’ Listening to Ai Ya’s explanation, Bai Yue Ling’s face grew paler and paler, and she couldn’t help but start having second thoughts.

Bai Yue Ling asked frantically, “If even the nuns are like this, then the Judgment High Priest must also be…”

“That’s right.” Ai Ya nodded. “Don’t be fooled by Lady Taoxiya’s usual stern and proper demeanor. Her technique is actually the most outstanding in the entire church.”

Seeing that Bai Yue Ling was already showing signs of retreating, Ai Ya said, “Don’t leave, Little White. Didn’t you say before coming that you weren’t afraid at all? Didn’t you say our Judgment Church was full of small fry?”

“Guh…” Bai Yue Ling backed away repeatedly and said in a panic, “Um… I just remembered I have something to do. Let’s come back tomorrow instead…”

With that, she turned to run but was blocked by a petite figure.

“Little White, where do you think you’re going?”

A childish Loli voice rang out. Taoxiya held Bai Yue Ling in place with one hand while the other gripped a small wooden mallet, tapping it lightly against her palm as she greeted the most tender and private part of Bai Yue Ling’s body.

“You dare wear Si Ta Na’s dress and come running to my church? Are you sure you’re not asking for a spanking?”

“Si Ta Na, you think I can’t handle you?” Taoxiya revealed a cold smile. “The mother’s debt, the daughter pays…”
