Chapter 15: No Turning Back

Tears welled up in her eyes, and Keliya felt a pang of guilt.

She released Weiwei, who immediately covered her chest, trembling as she looked at Keliya.

“To prevent you from running away, I still need to leave a little mark.”

“Eek! A mark!?”

“Don’t worry, it won’t hurt. It’s just a little embarrassing.”

Before Weiwei could react, Keliya lifted her shirt.

Fair, delicate skin came into view. Weiwei looked down at her own belly with teary eyes. Keliya, however, grabbed her wrist and raised her hand.

Weiwei struggled for a moment, then gave up.

“U-um…”

“Please… don’t take my purity…” Weiwei said with a sob. “I want to save it for my future Moonlight Sister…”

Looking at Weiwei’s pitiful, pleading face, Keliya’s mind went blank with a “boom.”

She almost lost control, but thankfully steadied herself in time.

Just now, the magic power within her seemed to fluctuate for a moment… This feeling must be a sign that her Path of Detachment cultivation was about to break.

‘That was close. I almost truly felt something…’

It seemed her cultivation was still insufficient.

“Alright, stop squirming. I’m just leaving a mark.”

Keliya pulled the hem of the shirt down a little, not exposing anything critical. But Weiwei was already blushing furiously, as if she were about to be defiled the next second.

Then, a faint glow of magic gathered at Keliya’s fingertip.

She gently touched Weiwei’s skin.

Weiwei only felt a wave of heat.

It wasn’t intense, just a slight warmth.

Soon, Keliya let go.

Weiwei instinctively pulled her clothes back down. Only after confirming the other woman wasn’t going to do anything further did she let out a sigh of relief. She ran a few steps away and secretly looked down at her lower abdomen.

There, on her lower abdomen, was a new golden feather mark.

It looked a bit like a tattoo.

“W-what is this!?”

“A Goddess’s Mark. It lets me know your location at any time. Nice, right?”

Simply put, if Weiwei ever left the villa’s vicinity, Keliya would immediately sense it and could directly pinpoint her location through the mark.

“Now, don’t even think about running.”

Weiwei’s body contained immense magical power. Once unleashed, it could even destroy a city.

Rather than leaving her unchecked, it was better to keep her under control.

Moreover…

Such an adorable girl… wouldn’t it be a waste not to tease her properly?

“You wanted to seduce me, right? Then I’ll give you that chance.”

“It’d be boring if you ran away halfway. I look forward to the day you make me break my cultivation.”

“Waaah…”

What kind of perverted talk was this!

The key point was, she could cheat at any time!

Even if Weiwei really did manage to make her heart race, Keliya could just turn around and use Weiwei’s own body against her… No matter how she looked at it, Weiwei was the one at a disadvantage!

“Oh, right. Let me give you a suggestion, little sister.”

Keliya smiled meaningfully, making Weiwei instantly wary.

“W-what suggestion?”

“Have you heard of ‘marry first, love later’?”

“I think… it’s when you have a physical relationship first, and then feelings develop slowly?”

“T-then, you don’t mean…” Weiwei’s eyes widened. “You want to get close with me first!?”

“That’s the idea,” Keliya said with a serious face. “If you’re willing to go all out and offer your purity to me, maybe I’ll fall in love with you.”

“W-who, who, who would offer it to you!!”

Weiwei stomped her foot in anger, grabbed a slipper from the shoe rack, and threw it.

She thought it would hit Keliya right in the face, but Keliya caught it easily.

She casually placed the slipper aside, a pleased smile on her lips.

“Well, I should be going now.”

“Just go already!!”

Weiwei kept stomping, grabbed the other slipper, and threw it too.

Keliya laughed as she dodged, put on her shoes, waved, and left.

The moment the door closed, the house fell silent.

Weiwei slumped to the floor, tears of grievance falling.

“Why… Why does she have to feel genuine affection for her cultivation to break!?”

If that’s the case, how is she supposed to seduce her!

It was all those sisters from the Demon Clan’s fault, forcing her to take on this mission.

Now look! She could be devoured clean at any moment, and she couldn’t even run away!

***

On the other side.

Keliya returned to the Holy Light Church.

In the lounge, she kept recalling Weiwei’s appearance from time to time.

In the prayer hall, she recited the prayers as usual.

She should have been solemn.

But now, she couldn’t help but smile.

“Oh ho, oh ho ho~~”

The faithful exchanged glances, not understanding what was up with the Saintess today.

During break time, Keliya sat on the sofa, holding a glass of red wine. Her gaze drifted into the distance, a smile on her lips. She seemed to be in an extremely good mood.

Not far away, Suoyena narrowed her eyes.

Today’s Keliya was clearly not her usual self.

She remembered some time ago, Keliya went on a mission, saying she had rescued a homeless girl…

And never mentioned it again after that.

Could it be…

She hid that girl at her home?

And even… did something unspeakable?

“This is too much…”

Suoyena gritted her teeth.

As the captain of the Sanctuary Corps, she felt it necessary to “investigate.”

As work was about to end, she walked over to Keliya, nudged her with an elbow, and wore a meaningful smile.

“Keliya, what are you thinking about?”

Keliya snapped back to reality.

“N-nothing.”

“Stop pretending. You’ve been grinning like an idiot all day. What, keeping a beauty in a golden house?”

“Of course not, don’t talk nonsense!”

“You got close, didn’t you?”

She didn’t even need to ask. It was definitely Keliya making a forceful move.

‘I saved you, how will you repay me?’

‘Since you have no money, how about repaying with your body?’

Suoyena’s imagination ran wilder and wilder.

The corner of Keliya’s mouth twitched, and she silently scooted away.

“What’s going on in your head?”

“Whether I guessed right or not, you know it yourself!”

“I did save Weiwei, and I’m letting her stay at my place for now. But we’re just ordinary roommates, nothing happened…”

Even Keliya felt a bit guilty saying this.

After all… they’d basically done everything but.

They just hadn’t crossed that final line yet.

“Ordinary roommates after living together? Who’d believe that!”

“Believe it or not, that’s up to you.”

“Let me go to your place to check! If you two really have an improper relationship, I’ll definitely criticize you severely!”

“You’re just jealous, aren’t you?”

Suoyena froze, then quickly averted her gaze.

“W-who’s jealous! I’m doing this to uphold proper conduct!”

“Fine, come if you want.”

Keliya agreed without thinking.

But it shouldn’t be a problem.

Weiwei was so shy, she probably wouldn’t do anything outrageous.

She’d most likely be waiting at home, dressed properly.

The rooms were all tidy too.

As a Saintess, keeping her home clean at all times was basic etiquette.

Dealing with Suoyena… would be more than manageable.
