After the two of them finally squeezed into the church, Weiyang assigned Luran to distract Ah Li while she followed the directions and went to find the nightmare suspect, Anna.
Although she hadn’t been forcibly “loved” by Ah Li yesterday, Weiyang still believed that woman was far too dangerous. Having Luran keep her occupied and prevent her from approaching was clearly the best strategy.
After Luran successfully drew Ah Li’s attention away, Weiyang walked toward the nun named Anna. The closer she got to Anna’s displeased-looking face, the more convinced she became that this was the same person from last night.
The body shape and hair color were far too similar. Only the face looked different. But considering that this person could summon various magical creatures with spells, simple disguise would hardly be difficult.
Originally, Weiyang had wanted to check whether there were any marks on Anna’s legs from what she had done yesterday. Unfortunately, Anna’s calves were covered by black fishnet stockings beneath her nun habit, making it impossible to see clearly.
No matter. Her world-shocking intelligence would expose the disguise.
Weiyang lined up and approached Anna. When it was her turn, Anna revealed a somewhat simple and harmless smile.
“Hello. Are you here to confess or to pray?”
“I’m here specifically to see you.”
Anna tilted her head in confusion.
“What do you mean?”
Weiyang’s lips curved slightly upward.
“Are you still planning to hide it? I know your secret.”
At those words, Anna trembled almost imperceptibly, then quickly calmed herself.
“…I’m sorry, I don’t understand what you mean. If you are not here to pray or confess, please step aside. Many people are still waiting.”
Weiyang shrugged.
“Fine. We’ll talk slowly after you get off work. I can’t allow you to continue doing evil. For now, I’ll—”
Just as Weiyang was about to leave, an unexpected voice sounded behind her.
“Don’t go, darling. Leaving just like that would be rather disappointing.”
The voice made Weiyang shudder. She immediately recognized it — it was that bad woman who had nearly captured her.
She turned around.
It was indeed Ah Li.
Ah Li’s right hand was being tightly held by Luran. Luran was trying her best to stop Ah Li from approaching Weiyang, but her strength wasn’t enough. She was dragged all the way in front of Weiyang.
Luran had been chatting casually with this great nun, trying to divert Ah Li’s attention. But Ah Li still spotted Weiyang, ignored Luran, and walked straight toward her. No matter how hard Luran tried, she couldn’t stop her.
Seeing Weiyang’s shocked expression, Luran helplessly looked away.
【Hontoni sumimasen, Angel-sama.】
At this moment, Ah Li had already arrived in front of Weiyang.
“Hello, fragrant young lady. Are you free tonight? I have something I’d like to discuss with you~”
Weiyang forced herself to calm down. She needed to leave immediately. She was terrified of being controlled by Ah Li again.
Although she possessed divine power that could subdue Ah Li, she absolutely did not want to be labeled as someone who “attacked the Great Nun” inside a crowded church.
“Ah~ speaking of which, Luran was planning to take me to play bean-bashing. I’ve been busy lately~ If there’s nothing else, I’ll be going—”
“But,” Ah Li suddenly raised her voice and interrupted, “we’ve been terribly busy lately.
Luran, would you be interested in becoming a nun and helping reduce our workload?”
The topic suddenly shifted to Luran, catching her off guard.
“Eh— eh? Um, well…”
She looked to Weiyang for help. Weiyang gave a slight shake of her head. So Luran made up her mind.
“I don’t have that intention for now. Sorry, Great Nun Ah Li.”
Ah Li said nothing, only smiled.
Luran didn’t understand the situation and simply looked at Weiyang.
Weiyang didn’t know what to do either and could only wait for what would happen next.
Finally, Ah Li broke the silence.
“Sister Anna, if someone sneaks into your home intending to attack you, what consequences would they face if caught?”
Anna blinked in surprise.
“Let me think… They would probably be detained and handled according to the victim’s wishes. Why do you ask, Great Nun Ah Li?”
“Nothing. I just think it would be nice to keep a little snow fox that hisses. If she misbehaves, I would take very good ‘care’ of her.”
Cold sweat formed on Weiyang’s forehead. This was clearly a threat. If she were caught and controlled, she would be completely finished.
“Um, Ah Li, you need manpower, right? Why say more? Luran is yours.”
Sorry, Luran. I can only sell you out.
Two silent tears streamed down Luran’s face.
Ah Li laughed softly.
“That would indeed be wonderful. However, one person doesn’t seem quite enough. What should this poor me do?”
Now it was Weiyang’s turn to silently shed tears.
“Then I’ll come too.”
“That’s wonderful, Miss Weiyang. Thank you for your selfless dedication~”
【This nine-tailed fox must be a demon.】
Weiyang felt utterly miserable. She was completely being toyed with.
“Good. Without further delay, I’ll take you to the changing room. There must be suitable nun outfits for you.”
With that cheerful announcement, Ah Li dragged the tearful Weiyang and Luran toward the dressing room.
Weiyang silently prayed that it would be a single room. Otherwise, the fact that she wasn’t wearing underwear would be exposed. According to Luran, nuns were not allowed to do that.
As someone male at heart, her soul absolutely refused to wear such clothing. It was a matter of dignity.

“Wait! Don’t touch my clothes, I can change myself!”
“Stop touching me! Why are you always grabbing randomly?! Luran, why are you just watching? Have you really betrayed me?!”
“I won’t wear it! No, nooo—”
She wore it.
In the end, Weiyang failed to protect her Eden.
Fortunately, adaptability was one of her finest virtues. Since she couldn’t defend her bottom line, she would lower it.
This time was an exception. Next time, she would resist to the end.
She would win.
Weiyang, filled with countless unwilling thoughts, was pushed into the main hall. Feeling the tight constriction above and below, her greatest form of resistance was sighing constantly.
It was really tight. She even suspected the size was wrong. And why fishnet stockings?
If this continued, wouldn’t she truly begin living like a girl?
No. She must not get used to it. She must not continue falling.
This was all necessary to defeat Chaoyan.
Endure humiliation and strengthen herself. Once she became powerful, she would repay it double.
Just wait, Chaoyan.
As new nuns, Weiyang and Luran were brought to two small dark rooms.
Ah Li explained:
“These are confession chambers. You don’t need to show your face or directly meet those who come to confess. Usually, new nuns start here to familiarize themselves with the work. Once you’re proficient, you’ll move to the main hall. Do your best. If you can’t handle it, come find me.”
Everything around was pitch black. Weiyang leaned against the wooden desk, reassuring herself that it would be fine. She only needed to listen to some complaints. It would end soon.
Before long, she heard a voice.
“Hello, respected Sister. I have sinned. I’ve come to confess my wrongdoing. Someone like me who committed such a grave mistake… will the God of Light forgive me?”
Weiyang recalled the universal phrase Ah Li had taught her.
“If you are sincerely confessing, then the God of Light will certainly forgive you. What have you done?”
“Then… even using a fish to relieve desire can be forgiven?”
“Y-You… what did you do to that poor fish?”
“Well… its shape resembled Violet Mood, and I gave in to wicked thoughts…”
“You really deserve to— I mean… please state your name and home address. The God of Light will personally visit to deliver warmth.”
What Weiyang didn’t expect was that the girl actually believed her nonsense and truly gave her name and address.
Her name was Lilith.
And she was precisely Weiyang’s original target — the highest administrator of the Town.
