Chapter 1325: Chapter 966, Church Arrangement

The following day, early morning.

Wu Heng opened his eyes. The faint light filtered through the heavy clouds, casting mottled shadows on the window lattice.

The sky remained dark as dusk, with no sunlight, only a thin natural light.

He got up, dressed tidily, washed his face simply to dispel his sleepiness.

"Uncle, you’re awake!" Xiao Xiao drifted through the wall, greeting him before whispering mysteriously, "Last night, Aunt was incessantly asking about our affairs with the Blood Clan. Is she up to something again?"

Having experienced a lot, even a primary school child has begun to be cautious in their actions.

"What did she ask? Let me hear," Wu Heng said.

Xiao Xiao floated nearby, arms crossed, recalling as she said, "Asked how we got here, the strength of the opposing Hero, even suspected that there’s a conspiracy. Later, I didn’t tell her, so she stopped asking."

It sounds like she was merely curious about what we were doing.

Wu Heng said, "Her vigilance is high. We must stay alert as well. Until she’s part of us, we mustn’t let her succeed."

"Received!" Xiao Xiao saluted.

He exited the room where he washed up and headed straight to the study.

Glenda and Bella were both in the room, while the Lady glanced over, then withdrew her gaze.

Wu Heng said, "After we say goodbye to Lilith, we’ll head back."

"Staying here, we can’t be of much help," Glenda said.

"Yes," Wu Heng looked at the Lady, who without a word, slipped into the Demon Soul Pot.

He went over, collected the Demon Soul Pot, the tablet, and all the books.

Then he opened the door and went downstairs.

Lilith was already seated at one side of the long dining table, with a butler standing behind her and a few busy maids.

Seeing him come down, she said expressionlessly, "Eat first."

Wu Heng sat on the other side, observing her calmly and silently.

Her expressionless face occasionally allowed fleeting glances.

"We’ll be heading back shortly," Wu Heng said.

Lilith nodded, "That’s good. Thank you for your help this time."

Xiao Xiao chimed in, "Did the team from the headquarters walk here? So slow, otherwise we could have gone back together."

Lilith said, "The Blood Clan has matters that need handling, and internal personnel changes take time."

"Alright...," Xiao Xiao replied helplessly.

She and Lilith got along well; ever since Lilith left Gold and Silver Island, she’s been stuck watching TV at home.

Lilith glanced behind her, then said, "I’ve prepared some gifts for Xiao Xiao, you can take them back together."

"You’re too kind," Wu Heng said.

A maid brought a square wooden box, and Xiao Xiao immediately flew up to take a look inside.

There were intricately crafted clothes, a bat hairpin carved from Moonstone, a black obsidian-eyed doll, a lace handkerchief shimmering with silver light...

These were not for the Soul, but to be used on dolls.

"Wow!" Xiao Xiao’s eyes sparkled, "Thank you, Sister."

"None for me? I helped out too, you know!" Wu Heng chuckled as he ate.

Lilith gave him a sidelong glance without responding, continuing her conversation with Xiao Xiao about the materials of the gifts and how to use certain items.

After taking a couple of bites, the utensils were cleared away by the maid.

Wu Heng took out a fixed-frequency radio, saying, "When you go to Gold and Silver Island, use this to keep in touch here. It’ll give you more peace of mind."

Lilith, familiar with using the radio, nodded, "Okay!"

Wu Heng continued and took out two train tickets, "Remember the side effects. Sensations will be affected, eat according to the watch."

"Got it..." Lilith said while receiving the tickets.

The two chatted for a while longer, and soon it was almost time.

Wu Heng packed up Xiao Xiao’s gift box, walked to the courtyard, preparing to leave.

"Xiao Xiao, time to go," Wu Heng called over his shoulder, "When Lilith goes to Gold and Silver Island, you two can have fun again."

"Got it!" Xiao Xiao responded quickly, flying over and merging into his body.

The invisible Glenda and Bella returned one after the other as well.

"I’m off then...," Wu Heng looked at Lilith.

She nodded, "I’ll call you before I leave."

Wu Heng said nothing, walking up to her. Lilith’s eyes narrowed.

The butler standing behind them glanced at the two before turning to leave.

Wu Heng strode forward and, much to Lilith’s surprise, encircled her waist with his arm. It was cool and soft to the touch.

"You...," Lilith’s eyes contracted, her voice icy, "You’ve gotten bolder."

"We won’t see each other for such a long time. I’m already starting to miss you," Wu Heng said softly.

Lilith pushed away his hand, but soon found she had little strength left.

Wu Heng lowered his head, sealing her lips with his before she could react.

Lilith froze in place, her fingers clutching tight to Wu Heng’s collar.

Wu Heng slightly drew back, whispering, "Relax a bit."

Lilith cautiously began to respond.

After a good while, Lilith lightly bit the tip of his tongue, and as he pulled back, she pushed him away.

"Enough!" Lilith said, pressing her finger against his lips as he tried to draw near again, "Don’t push your luck."

Wu Heng held her hand, "I’ll be waiting for you on Gold and Silver Island."

Lilith pulled her hand away, twirling the hem of her dress, "Go quickly, I still have matters to deal with."

Wu Heng walked back to the courtyard space, donned the Train Captain’s Hat, and the Phantom Train appeared ahead of him.

He stepped into the compartment, glanced back, and Lilith was watching him too.

He waved again, the door closed, and the train vanished from sight.

After the train had been gone for a while, Lilith turned back to her residence.

...

Gold and Silver Island, Church.

After morning prayers, the Wood Elf Priest ’Aifulin’ closed the Scripture of Proselytization in her hands, her emerald eyes sweeping across the hall. The followers left with the distributed eggs in hand.
