Volume 2, Chapter 45 – The Rebellious Holy Sword

Translator Note

New month, new me…? 2 chapters unlocked

With beautiful golden twin-tails and a pink, adorable face paired with amber eyes as bright and brilliant as gemstones, this little girl’s appearance was second to none among everyone Xiao had ever seen, even if she did not quite reach the level of Lady Yumo.

At this moment, the lovely girl was wearing a small off-the-shoulder dress made of Elven Leaves and soft silk. Simple, wide lace straps outlined her two charming collarbones, while the minimalist neckline revealed a small patch of snow-white skin on her chest. As she moved, a pair of slender feet clad in alluring black stockings would occasionally peek out from beneath her long white skirt.

A simple floral wreath was placed over her light golden hair, which was gathered behind her back to fully expose her slender neck.

There was no doubt that the girl was incredibly pitiable and endearing.

However, such a cute existence was currently bound tightly by vines and lying on the ground! There was even an unknown object resembling a ball stuffed into her mouth.

It gave Xiao an extremely strange feeling.

More importantly, if an ordinary girl were bound in such an extremely uncomfortable position, she would surely show a look of pain and struggle bitterly.

Yet, this blonde loli before him not only showed no signs of pain but even had a flushed face as if she were secretly enjoying it?!

After realizing this, a rare shadow flickered across Xiao’s usually composed face.

He looked rather helplessly at the Elven King, Sykaros, beside him. At this moment, Xiao understood why the Elven King had been so hesitant earlier…

“I never expected your family’s Holy Sword to be a bit perverted.”

Hearing this, Sykaros hung his head in deep shame.

However, before the Elven King could respond, The Holy Sword loli, who was bound and lying on the ground, twitching incessantly, suddenly trembled all over! Seeming to realize she was now in full public view!

Instantly, the golden-haired loli’s intoxicated expression vanished without a trace, replaced by a look of ‘facing death unflinchingly’ resolve and intense anger, as she began struggling frantically! Suddenly, a powerful surge of energy erupted from around the golden-haired loli! The terrifying pressure made the surrounding elves with insufficient strength tremble,

The ground abruptly cracked…

Seeing this, Xiao couldn’t help but raise an eyebrow with interest.

“This, not bad strength.”

To think a mere Sword Spirit possessed peak seventh tier strength, truly worthy of being a Holy Sword. It should meet Lady Yumo’s requirements.

However, it seems she might be a bit difficult to handle?

Thinking this, Xiao slowly walked toward the Holy Sword loli and gradually crouched before the little girl. Seeing a strange man appear before her, the golden-haired loli immediately revealed a fierce glare! Fixing Xiao’s face with a ‘ferocious’ stare, she looked ready to charge and bite him! Seeing this, Sykaros beside them hurriedly spoke up.

“Duke! B-Be careful, that, that girl is very fierce!! She bites!”

“Hmm? Fierce?”

Xiao chuckled playfully, then nodded slightly noncommittally,

“She is a bit, fiercely cute~”

After smiling, Xiao slowly raised his hand, seemingly intending to undo her restraints. This action once again stirred Sykaros’s unease.

“Duke, don’t undo the restraints! This, this girl is very hostile toward strangers! She… she still needs some education! If you undo the restraints, it’ll, it’ll be very troublesome!”

“Troublesome?”

“Will she attack me?”

“Y-Yes. Anyone she doesn’t know, she, she will attack.”

“Oh ho? Interesting…”

Hearing this, Xiao slightly raised an eyebrow, a meaningful smile appearing on his face,

“It’s fine. Children being mischievous is normal. Just needs some training.”

Saying this, Xiao slowly raised his hand. Endless black magic power instantly converged continuously into his palm, transforming in an instant into a massive energy hammer. The next moment, Under the slightly horrified gazes of the surrounding elves, Xiao mercilessly delivered a world-shaking ‘clang~’ to the golden-haired loli’s head.

Accompanied by a terrifying surge of energy, the previously ‘baring her teeth’ golden-haired loli now saw stars and collapsed onto the ground. It seemed she wouldn’t wake any time soon. Then, a burly Black Knight nearby, under Xiao’s signal, slowly approached and lifted the golden-haired loli from the ground…

“Well then, thank you for your cooperation, my good friend.”

Patting the Elven King’s shoulder again, Xiao smiled contentedly,

“Since there’s nothing else, I’ll take my leave~ Goodbye, my good friend.”

After a polite wave, Xiao led the Blackrose Family members and gradually withdrew from the Elven Race’s territory.

Watching that receding nightmare-like figure, The Elven King, whose nerves had been strained for so long finally let out a long sigh of relief. As his spirit relaxed, he finally collapsed to the ground from exhaustion, two streams of tears unconsciously flowing from his pig-like eyes…

“Please, don’t come again, I beg you, really wuwuwuwu…”

Inside the Guest Reception Hall of Windward City, rushing anxiously into the Guest Reception Hall and seeing Mengxi, Bai Yanluo could no longer dwell on her earlier deception by that damn swindler.

Overwhelmed with relief, her legs gave way, and she abruptly knelt on the floor before several Ashurmos Church members,

“It’s so good, it’s so good that you’re alright.”

Bai Yanluo said sincerely.

Seeing this, Mengxi couldn’t help but stick out her tongue guiltily.

“Sorry, Sister Bai, I worried you.”

“Forget it, forget it, as long as you’re fine. The Blackrose Family actually did a good deed this time.”

“Hmm, the Blackrose Family…” Mengxi’s tone carried a slight peculiarity.

Noticing the oddness in the girl’s words, Bai Yanluo asked curiously,

Rеаd oո КаtReαⅾingCаfе

“What’s wrong?”

“N-Nothing.”

Mengxi waved her hand with a smile,

“Rather, Sister Bai, you? What happened to you?”

“Ah, that’s a long story…”

……

……

The two chatted like this.

Actually, Mengxi belonged to the ‘Sunlight’ unit, strictly speaking, she was Bai Yanluo’s subordinate. However, due to her identity as the Chosen Maiden, there wasn’t a clear superior-subordinate relationship between her and Bai Yanluo. They shared quite a deep friendship, after all, it was Bai Yanluo who discovered Mengxi in a small town, saved her, and brought her back to the Church…

However, just as Bai Yanluo was bitterly complaining to Mengxi about being tricked by some cunning fo, the red haired Earth Apostle Kabane who was leaning against the doorway couldn’t help but frown.

“Lady Bai Yanluo, have you forgotten? The Pope urgently summoned you back.”

“…”

The moment she heard the word ‘Pope’, Bai Yanluo’s words abruptly stopped. Her body trembled almost imperceptibly, and a flicker of fear passed through her azure eyes. After a moment of silence, Bai Yanluo solemnly took Mengxi’s small hand.

“Mengxi, how about you come back with me?”

“It’s fine, don’t worry about me, Sister Bai. You should go back first.”

“But, this is the Snownight Empire. Those people just used a Magic Fission Bomb to attack us. I’m worried they might have more ill intentions…”

Bai Yanluo said with a grave expression. However, as soon as she spoke, Kabane beside them couldn’t help but sit up straight.

“Ahem, Lady Bai Yanluo, bombing you earlier wasn’t the Snownight Empire’s intention; it was that third prince’s doing. Now he’s dead, the Snownight Empire is negotiating with our Archbishop, and that emperor even issued a soul oath, so they can’t possibly cause trouble. Besides, Miss Mengxi hasn’t fully recovered yet. Having just taken our Church’s Holy Medicine, she needs to rest quietly for two days first; she can’t leave with you. Moreover, with me and the Third Hero here protecting Miss Mengxi, what is there to worry about?”

Kabane’s tone was full of impatience. Toward Bai Yanluo, who joined the Church later than him but was now a Heavenly Apostle, he had long been filled with jealousy and dissatisfaction. Naturally, his tone wasn’t pleasant.

And besides, If Bai Yanluo delayed returning to report, he would also get scolded by the Pope!!

A trace of displeasure gradually appeared in Kabane’s eyes.

Looking at this robust red-haired man, Bai Yanluo narrowed her azure eyes slightly, her gaze filled with distrust.

“…”

Just as Bai Yanluo fell silent, Mengxi’s gentle, sweet voice slowly reached her ears,

“It’s alright, Sister Bai. I actually have some matters I want to handle here.”

“Enmm, alright. But once your injuries heal, leave here as soon as possible. I feel Windward City isn’t very safe.”

“Understood, Sister Bai. You should hurry back first. It’s better to take the Pope’s Red Summoning Order seriously…”

“Sigh, I know. Then take care of yourself.”

……

……

With a helpless sigh and after bidding Mengxi farewell, Bai Yanluo leaped up, suddenly transforming into a white meteor shooting out the window, vanishing into the sky in an instant…

Watching Bai Yanluo depart, Mengxi couldn’t help but frown slightly, a trace of confusion appearing in her pale purple eyes. Come to think of it… Oh no, Little Mo, where did she go? Why hasn’t she come back yet?
