"Mortal World Holy Envoy, although the Light Chapel in Skyward City is under my management, there are some things we shouldn't discuss so openly."
After leaving the Judgment Hall, Bai Dingyang reminded Jiang Chen with a hint of helplessness.
"I understand."
Jiang Chen nodded.
He had deliberately brought it up to see if the other members of the Church were aware of Bai Dingyang's actions.
Like Gway, for instance.
Judging by their reactions, it seemed Bai Dingyang was indeed playing these tricks on his own?
One had to admit, he was quite bold.
"Mortal World Holy Envoy, this way."
Soon, under Bai Dingyang's guidance, Jiang Chen returned to the chapel. After passing through several buildings, they arrived at the chapel's rear garden.
Here, the grass was lush, and flowers bloomed, with a group of young girls chattering like birds.
"Step forward, everyone. Whoever is fortunate enough to serve the Mortal World Holy Envoy can earn the position of a nun, officially becoming a member of the Light Church!"
Bai Dingyang announced loudly to the group of girls in gauzy dresses.
In an instant, all thirty or forty of them stood neatly in front of Jiang Chen.
Their innocent eyes were filled with curiosity and anticipation as they gazed at Jiang Chen.
"Mortal World Holy Envoy, please make your choice. You can pick anyone you like, but since you're new to the Church, it's best to choose just one to avoid drawing too much attention or causing misunderstandings," Bai Dingyang advised from the side.
"Alright."
Jiang Chen nodded, his gaze sweeping over the girls.
Each of them was only sixteen or seventeen years old, with strikingly beautiful features.
Their pure expressions held an indescribable allure.
Moreover, their eyes were filled with eagerness, as if they were hoping Jiang Chen would choose them.
Soon, Jiang Chen noticed a slightly frail-looking girl whose eyes held a trace of worry instead of eagerness.
"You, third in the second row."
Jiang Chen pointed at her.
"Step forward."
A case of literary theft: this tale is not rightfully on Amazon; if you see it, report the violation.
Bai Dingyang's voice rang out.
The girl seemed momentarily stunned, then quickly walked up to Jiang Chen, her eyes showing a hint of unease.
"Can't you speak?"
Bai Dingyang frowned slightly.
"Greetings, Holy Envoy. My name is Eilili."
The girl named Eilili quickly bowed to Jiang Chen.
Bai Dingyang smiled at Jiang Chen and said, "Mortal World Holy Envoy, I've arranged accommodations for you. It's at the Steward's level, not particularly luxurious, but it's a standalone place and quite peaceful. What do you think?"
Jiang Chen was slightly surprised. "There's housing too?"
Bai Dingyang nodded. "Of course, all Church members have a place to stay. I'll take you there now."
"Alright, let's have a look."
With that, Jiang Chen followed Bai Dingyang out of the garden.
Eilili, the chosen maid, followed behind Jiang Chen.
The remaining girls looked at Eilili with envy.
A few minutes later, the three of them arrived at the dormitory area within the chapel's inner courtyard.
There was a row of square buildings, with some standalone houses a bit further away.
Led by Bai Dingyang, Jiang Chen came to a small house surrounded by a lawn.
Inside, the house was simple, with just a living room and a bedroom.
However, it was furnished with all the necessary tables, chairs, and beds.
"Mortal World Holy Envoy, I'll leave you to it."
With that, Bai Dingyang smiled and exited the small house, not forgetting to close the door behind him.
Inside the small house, only Jiang Chen and the young girl Eilili remained.
"You..."
Before Jiang Chen could finish speaking, Eilili began to untie the sash at her waist.
"Wait!"
Jiang Chen quickly called out.
"Does the lord prefer me to keep my clothes on?"
Eilili asked innocently, posing a rather awkward question.
"No, what are you doing?" Jiang Chen asked, somewhat exasperated.
"I'm offering myself to the lord," Eilili replied matter-of-factly.
"Why would you do that?" Jiang Chen was puzzled.
"Since I entered the chapel three years ago, I've been prepared to dedicate myself to the Light," Eilili replied.
"Your dedication to the Light involves giving your body to..." Jiang Chen frowned.
"You are a lord of the Light Church. I can't contribute in other ways, so I offer everything I have to you. Serving you is serving the Light, and the Light will surely shine upon me," Eilili said calmly.
"I really don't know how such powerful indoctrination is achieved..."
Hearing her words, Jiang Chen couldn't help but feel a twinge of emotion.
At that moment, the window suddenly darkened, and the room was automatically illuminated with soft light.
Night had fallen.
Jiang Chen glanced at the time; it was exactly eleven o'clock, the nighttime in the game.
Eilili continued to undress, and soon, her white gauze dress slipped from her shoulders, filling the room with the unique fragrance of a young girl.
Jiang Chen looked at her graceful figure and said slowly, "Put your clothes back on."
"Does the lord not like me?"
Eilili's eyes misted over, her face showing a hint of unease.
Jiang Chen averted his gaze slightly, suppressing a surge of heat in his heart, and said, "I have something to instruct you."
"Please, tell me."
Eilili nodded, her eyes full of Jiang Chen.
"I won't be at the chapel often, or rather, I'll rarely be here. You must inform me of anything related to me."
Jiang Chen paused, then continued, "Also, keep an eye on Bai Dingyang, the Bishop. Record any of his remarks about me and report them to me."
"Keep an eye on the Bishop?"
Eilili was slightly puzzled.
"Yes, you're my maid now. If there's anything inconvenient, just mention my name. This is your task, and I'll find a way to promote you."
Jiang Chen looked at Eilili and said slowly, "To truly dedicate yourself to the Light, being a mere nun isn't enough. Do you understand what I mean?"
"I... don't quite understand."
Eilili's eyes showed a hint of confusion.
"Think about it yourself. I'll just tell you, I'm the Holy Light Envoy, and the God of Light always stands by my side!" Jiang Chen said with a serious expression.
Though it felt a bit wrong to deceive a young girl, this move was necessary.
One must make use of those who can be used.
Jiang Chen was well aware of the formidable entity he was up against.
Although the Light Church currently had no suspicions about him, there was no guarantee that they wouldn't turn against him someday.
Therefore, everything had to be planned early to avoid any mishaps later.
"You are the Holy Light Envoy, and I will always serve you, my lord!"
Eilili didn't fully grasp the deeper meaning of Jiang Chen's words, so she respectfully bowed and then completely removed her dress.
Under Jiang Chen's stunned gaze, the girl's gauzy dress fell to the ground, and she walked over, unclothed.
"I didn't ask you to..."
Jiang Chen's heart trembled. Who could withstand such a test?
At that moment.
"Knock, knock, knock!"
A series of urgent knocks sounded.
It wasn't from the game but from the real world, transmitted through the gaming helmet's external function.
"Who could it be at this hour?"
Jiang Chen was slightly puzzled and chose to enter a semi-exit game state.
He clearly heard a rough voice outside his rental apartment, shouting, "Open up, water meter inspection!"
"Water meter inspection at midnight? Who are they kidding?!"
Hearing this unfamiliar voice, Jiang Chen's eyes narrowed. He immediately exited the game and removed the gaming helmet.
He quietly got up and left the bedroom, entering the living room.
Suddenly.
"Bang!"
A loud noise erupted as the door was kicked open.
