I Bound Myself to a Destructive Witch
Chapter 610 - 610: 578. Saintess

Meanwhile,

In the clouds,

Not far from the Sky Fortress, amidst dark clouds,

A solemn and serious Church Airship painted in black and white slowly undulated.

On the bow of the airship stood ten men and women in fluttering ecclesiastical robes.

Among them, nine followed the lead of the tall woman in the center.

The woman wore a holy white robe with a seven-pointed star, blazing like red flames, shining on the back. A pale golden cross faintly etched onto the hood that covered her head. She donned a golden mask that contoured her skin, revealing only half of her exquisite lower face.

"Beauty, how about it? If you're free later, let's go for a drink~" A man with a feminine face and squinting eyes approached from behind, his hands in his pockets, as he said with a light teasing smile.

"Impudent!"

Beside her, a golden Knight with an unhappy expression and a cold tone, said, "Yeli Xuanqi, even Mr. Dongjun would not dare to be so disrespectful towards the Saintess. Are you seeking death?"

The Golden Knight, with the presence of a lion, had an intimidating gaze.

Yeli Xuanqi glanced at the Elemental Believers behind the Knight, saw the overwhelming majority and smiled as he took a half step back:

"My apologies for being overly familiar upon seeing a beauty, but it appears I was indeed too presumptuous. I hope the Holy Daughter forgives me."

The Elemental Saintess was gazing into the distance. Hearing his words, the beautiful eyes beneath the golden mask glanced sideways at Yeli Xuanqi before she looked away and said indifferently, "Get lost."

"....." Yeli Xuanqi caught his breath; she surely hadn't given him any face.

This group from the Elemental Church had come to the Sky Fortress on important business and required cooperation with Mr. Dongjun. He received the task to guide these people and then met this Elemental Saintess, who had suddenly risen to prominence.

Despite not seeing her entire face, she was clearly a beauty, which made him itchy.

He had not expected her to be so proud, ignoring his several attempts to start a conversation, not taking him seriously at all.

However, he was not in a hurry; he heard that this beauty would stay here for some time; there was plenty of time.

"Saintess, something seems amiss," the Golden Knight said with a serious expression, looking into the distance.

The three great Churches had different names for their Saints and Saintesses: The Church of Justice called them Divine Son or Saint Heir, while the Elemental Church called them Saintess or Holy Daughter.

The Elemental Saintess looked up, only to see through the fog that a large number of ships were sailing towards them.

"It's the Lidong Army."

The Elemental Saintess frowned inwardly. In a short while, from the row of military ships, a towering man flew over.

Yeli Xuanqi recognized him as one of Mr. Dongjun's six confidants. He quickly stepped forward, "Mr. Ba, what brings you here?"

"The lady has met with an accident, captured by an Evil Cultist and imprisoned in an unknown cave. Yeli Xuanqi, you must come with me immediately to rescue the lady."

The towering man spoke with a heavy voice and then turned towards the Elemental Saintess with a fist-cupped salute, "Holy Daughter, ahead lies the Sky Base. You can go straight there. However, Mr. Dongjun is not in a good mood now and may not be inclined to continue the talks of cooperation, what do you think..."

The Elemental Saintess fell silent for a moment. Her eyes beneath the golden mask grew somber as she questioned softly, "The 'lady' you speak of, is it Freya?"

The towering man was taken aback, then nodded, "Yes."

He remembered that the Holy Daughter had studied at Weiyang Academy in District 51. She was probably a student of the lady and seemed to also know Xia Feng.

"Ms. Freya has bestowed teachings upon me. We from the Elemental Church shall join you in the rescue mission."

"This..." The towering man hesitated, as this was not part of Mr. Dongjun's plan.

"Are you unwilling?"

Her tone carried not a trace of emotion, and the Elemental Saintess' cold gaze beneath the mask made the towering man feel an inexplicable intimidation. His eyes slightly narrowed as he nodded with a fist-cupped salute, "Should the Holy Daughter wish to lend us your strength, it would surely be a good thing."

"Time is urgent," the burly man said, foregoing further chit-chat. "We have located the position of the Evil Cultist, at Wulin Mountain in the western suburbs. Let's set off immediately."

Under the night sky.

Twenty dark military warships streaked across the sky dome, piercing through the dark clouds, racing toward the western suburbs at speeds nearly invisible to the naked eye.

Among the bustling high-rises, Spirit Masters looked up, those with good eyesight could faintly see the afterimages of the warships.

However, this was no strange sight for them. After all, warships from the Sky Fortress would fly out from time to time, either for military drills or when a powerful Evil Beast fell into the Present Realm, and the Holy Department needed their assistance to eliminate it.

In Litian City, where the Lidong Army was stationed, the level of security was several times higher than other cities. Incidents where a large number of civilians died from monster disasters were almost nonexistent.

But launching twenty warships was a very rare occurrence indeed.

Such a military force would have no problem encircling and killing three individuals from the Venerable One Realm. If the warships were equipped with the Lidong Army's Epic Divine Relic, the King Lowering Star, then even a Venerate Third Realm powerhouse would have to suffer a serious setback!

"Ding-dong~"

At the Bronze Building, Mu Qingtong had just finished mixing the Ascension Promotion Liquid and was about to call Mr. Xia to ask why he hadn't come back yet.

Unexpectedly, a message popped up.

[Mr. Xia: Mu Shen~ It's an emergency! Need backup ASAP! (Attachment: Location map)]

"....."

Sometimes, Mu Qingtong truly admired Mr. Xia's ability to cause trouble. It hadn't been a few hours, and he had already stirred up another incident.

However, fortunately, she had already figured out how to achieve Ascension.

Beyond that, taking advantage of this opportunity, she might also be able to complete her secret plan against Mr. Xia!

Let the guy... confess to her!

*

Xia Feng had gone to great lengths to help Lord Yeli Dong complete the Holy Release.

Reluctantly, and with no other choice... after exchanging six minutes of saliva with Ms. Fu, he finally unshackled her.

As for why the kiss, which originally only needed three minutes, stretched out to six minutes.

Don't ask, the answer is he needed more footage for editing.

With that, he perfectly completed the task given by Mr. Dongjun.

"Mm....." The wine-red haired woman's cheeks were flushed red, her voluptuous body weak and leaning into Xia Feng's arms, her heated cheek resting on his neck, her breath still hurried, panting lightly.

Xia Feng patted her back, trying to help her up: "Teacher, are you alright?"

Freya recovered from her dazed and soft state, her slender eyelids trembling slightly.

The flush on her face gradually faded, and she frowned as she stood up, her lovely face becoming serious in an instant, yet she chuckled and patted Xia Feng's head:

"I didn't expect, for someone so young, your kissing technique is pretty good," Freya teased him effortlessly, as if to say she was well-practiced and he was still a youngster, "But compared to your teacher, you still have a lot to learn~"

"..." Xia Feng smiled without saying a word, not arguing. His kissing skills were honed in struggles with the Destructive Witch and had reached a state of perfection! Unmatched by anyone!

To him, this Ms. Fu was an open book—nothing but a greenhorn with no experience or technique to speak of.

"Teacher, now's not the time to be comparing who's better."

Xia Feng looked towards the entrance of the cave, estimating the time; the people Lord Yeli Dong sent to rescue Ms. Fu should be arriving soon.
