The Light Church has established chapels in all eight Royal Cities, each belonging to one of the four bishop districts. For instance, Skyward City and Earthbound City are part of the same district.

The Light Chapel in Earthbound City is personally overseen by Gandalf, and is known as the Bishop's Seat. Meanwhile, the Light Chapel in Skyward City is managed by the Vice Bishop, who handles related affairs.

Since both cities are in the same district, the Vice Bishop of Skyward City reports to Gandalf, who is his direct superior.

At this moment, five figures approached from the city gate. The middle-aged man in a white robe leading them was the head of the Light Chapel in Skyward City. Behind him were four young women, all wearing thin white gauze dresses and green floral crowns, looking pure and flawless.

"Are you the Holy Envoy of the Mortal World?" the middle-aged man in the white robe asked Jiang Chen with a smile.

"White Bishop, Bai Dingyang!" Jiang Chen recognized him.

He was the Vice Bishop of the Light Church, in charge of the Light Chapel in Skyward City. In his previous life, players often discussed him because he was always accompanied by a group of pure-looking nuns or maids in white dresses.

These nuns served his daily needs, and some people had even witnessed him being intimate with them, which made many players envious.

At the same time, he was often criticized, with comments like "really knows how to play," "playful," "blessed life," "old pervert," and "will be drained eventually."

Recalling these things, Jiang Chen couldn't help but glance at the gauze-dressed girls behind Bai Dingyang. Their appearance was as pure as virgins. Indeed, he knew how to play...

"It seems the Holy Envoy of the Mortal World knows me," Bai Dingyang said, looking at Jiang Chen with interest.

"Of course, White Bishop is famous," Jiang Chen replied casually, then asked, "What brings you to me?"

"Famous?" Bai Dingyang was puzzled, unsure why Jiang Chen said that, but he didn't dwell on it and got straight to the point: "Naturally, I'm here to escort the Holy Envoy of the Mortal World to the chapel."

"Having White Bishop personally escort me, how could I refuse?" Jiang Chen was curious about the Church's current attitude toward him.

"Of course, Lord Gandalf specifically instructed me to welcome you," Bai Dingyang said with a slight awkward smile. "Lord Gandalf holds the Holy Envoy of the Mortal World in high regard."

As a Cardinal, Gandalf's status was higher than Bai Dingyang's, and he was also his direct superior. Therefore, Bai Dingyang dared not defy Gandalf's words.

Consequently, he was cautious with Jiang Chen, not daring to offend him. After all, Gandalf had personally sent him to welcome Jiang Chen, indicating his significant status.

Seeing Bai Dingyang's respectful attitude, Jiang Chen roughly understood his current situation. The Light Chapel was worth visiting.

"You're too kind. Joining the Light Church is my honor," Jiang Chen said politely.

"In that case, Holy Envoy of the Mortal World, please follow me," Bai Dingyang smiled and glanced at the Griffin Beasts under Qing Ying and Tao Xiaoyao, saying, "By the way, these two Griffin Beasts..."

"Hold on," Jiang Chen said, dismounting from the Unicorn and addressing Qing Ying and Tao Xiaoyao, "Hand over the beast whips to him, and you two go into the city first."

"Okay," Qing Ying and Tao Xiaoyao nodded, dismounted from the Griffin Beasts, and handed the beast whips to Bai Dingyang.

If you come across this story on Amazon, it's taken without permission from the author. Report it.

"Take them," Bai Dingyang gestured.

"Yes!" A gauze-dressed girl behind him immediately took the beast whips.

"Brother Mortal World, we'll go ahead?" Qing Ying looked at Jiang Chen.

"Go ahead, take Yuna back to Skyward Academy. Xiaoyao, head to the academy after your class change," Jiang Chen waved his hand.

"Big Brother..." Yuna's childish voice sounded, looking at Jiang Chen with reluctance.

"It's okay, I'll come to Skyward Academy later. You go first," Jiang Chen said, ruffling Yuna's hair.

"Let's go," Qing Ying said, taking Yuna's hand and heading into the city.

After the three had gone far, Jiang Chen turned to Bai Dingyang, who was staring intently at the three girls, especially Yuna, with undisguised enthusiasm in his eyes.

"This little girl has a connection with our Light Church, perhaps she could..." Bai Dingyang muttered to himself with a crazed smile.

But before he could finish, Jiang Chen frowned, "White Bishop?"

"What's the matter, Holy Envoy of the Mortal World?" Bai Dingyang, hearing the coldness in Jiang Chen's voice, was startled back to reality.

"My friends have no connection with the Light Church!" Jiang Chen's eyes narrowed, staring directly at Bai Dingyang.

Bai Dingyang was taken aback. If anyone else had said this, he would have denied it and then discussed why they were connected.

But facing Jiang Chen, he just nodded, "Yes, the Holy Envoy of the Mortal World is right."

"Let's go. I hope the Light Chapel you manage is interesting, or I'll have to go to the chapel where Bishop Gandalf is," Jiang Chen said nonchalantly.

He didn't really want to face Gandalf; staying in Skyward City was best. But he needed to put some pressure on Bai Dingyang.

"How could it not be interesting?" Bai Dingyang's face turned pale, and he quickly said, "The Light Chapel in Skyward City is definitely interesting and will surely satisfy the Holy Envoy of the Mortal World!"

If Jiang Chen really didn't come to his chapel and went to Gandalf's, he'd be in big trouble!

"Let's see," Jiang Chen nodded.

"Please!" Bai Dingyang said, leading Jiang Chen toward the city gate.

They didn't use the city gate's teleportation array but walked along the main road into the city.

Skyward City was vast, and walking around it would take at least an hour or two. The Royal City Palace was located slightly north of the city center, while the Light Chapel was directly south of the Royal City. Therefore, walking from the city gate to the Main City Square and then to the chapel wasn't faster than walking directly.

After nearly twenty minutes of walking, they reached the end of the road, where a typical Gothic white cathedral came into view. The grandeur of this cathedral was no less than that of the Royal City Palace. Especially the spire of the main hall, which seemed to pierce the sky, was awe-inspiring.

The stone pillars at the front entrance were adorned with hollowed-out human sculptures, lifelike, holding up the pillars as if the cathedral was supported by them.

Jiang Chen had been to the Light Chapel before, but the one in Skyward City was undoubtedly the most magnificent among all the Royal Cities, even more so than the chapel in Earthbound City.

However, in terms of status, the chapel in Earthbound City, where Gandalf resided, held a higher position. The grandeur of the Skyward City chapel was due to the city's prosperity, which was why Jiang Chen had come to Skyward City.

Although the eight Royal Cities seemed equal in status, Skyward City, due to Lord Qian Ye's exceptional abilities, was on the verge of becoming the leading Royal City. The other Royal City Lords had to show some respect to Lord Qian Ye.

Because of Qian Ye's presence in Skyward City, Gandalf chose to reside in the Earthbound City chapel, as there had been some discord between the two. As a result, the more grandiose Skyward City chapel was managed by Vice Bishop Bai Dingyang.

Upon entering the cathedral, Jiang Chen saw a bright and luxurious hall with many gray-robed practitioners moving about.

"Greetings, Bishop!" These people stopped and bowed upon seeing Bai Dingyang.

"Mm," Bai Dingyang nodded with a stern expression, leading Jiang Chen through the front hall to the central altar.

The floor here was paved with white stone bricks, and in the center was a white altar surrounded by many acolyte children. These were future clergy members nurtured by the Church, mostly girls aged seven or eight, all carefully selected for their outstanding appearance.

Under Bai Dingyang's guidance, Jiang Chen passed through the altar and entered the main hall of the cathedral. There were rows of seats, and at the front of the hall stood a white statue, four or five meters tall, with its features indistinguishable.

"God of Light..." Jiang Chen murmured, gazing at the statue.

"Holy Envoy of the Mortal World, when would you like to undergo the baptism?" Bai Dingyang asked.

The first step in joining the Church was to undergo the chapel's baptism.

"Let's talk about it later. I'd like to look around the chapel first," Jiang Chen replied.

"No problem, I'll show you around," Bai Dingyang smiled slightly, then led Jiang Chen through the main hall to the inner courtyard of the chapel.

They wandered for over ten minutes, with Bai Dingyang constantly observing Jiang Chen's expression, which remained impassive.

Bai Dingyang then said, "Holy Envoy of the Mortal World, let me show you something interesting, guaranteed to please you!"

With that, Bai Dingyang led Jiang Chen through the inner courtyard to the rear garden. The scenery here was entirely different, with lush green grass covering the ground and vibrant flower beds neatly arranged on both sides.

In the center was a nude statue fountain, and a faint, refreshing fragrance mixed with floral scents wafted through the air.

Jiang Chen saw that the rear garden was filled with young women in white gauze dresses, numbering at least thirty or forty.

Their appearances were extremely pure, and even more astonishing, their gauze dresses were much thinner than those of the previous nuns. Their graceful figures were barely concealed by the sheer fabric.

Jiang Chen was dumbfounded.

"Holy Envoy of the Mortal World, if you join the Church, you can choose any of these maids," Bai Dingyang whispered with a smile, "Rest assured, they are all virgins."

Well...

Bai Dingyang's management of the chapel had truly broadened Jiang Chen's horizons. He really knew how to play...

"Is this what White Bishop meant by something interesting?" Jiang Chen asked, looking at Bai Dingyang with a hint of seriousness in his eyes.

"Holy Envoy of the Mortal World, don't you like it?" Bai Dingyang was startled by Jiang Chen's serious expression and quickly said, "I misunderstood you, if you don't like it..."

"White Bishop, this is too interesting!" Jiang Chen interrupted Bai Dingyang, a smile appearing on his face.

"Hmm?" Bai Dingyang was initially taken aback, then burst into hearty laughter, "Hahaha, Holy Envoy of the Mortal World, you gave me a scare. It seems you're one of us. I'm glad you like it, glad indeed!"
