Chapter 1408: Chapter 1003, Shanaela Returns_2

Judging by the actions of Wu Heng and the other person, it’s clear the two are in a romantic relationship, not just a publicly declared business partnership.

A romantic relationship may not be entirely accurate, as Shanaela has a husband and is among the high-ranking members of the Elf Race.

Calling them lovers might be more precise.

"Are you adapting well to life here?" Shanaela asked like a hostess.

"The Leader has been very considerate of me," Viola replied.

"What’s your level?"

Viola instinctively glanced at Wu Heng, who showed no sign of stopping her. Viola answered, "Level 19."

Shanaela raised an eyebrow, "Quite fast, keep it up."

"Thank you, Lady," Viola expressed her gratitude.

Shanaela nodded, "You guys go ahead and get busy, I need to discuss some things with Wu Heng."

The others stood up and dispersed to attend to their matters.

Only the two of them were left in the living room.

Shanaela crossed her long legs, lightly swinging the light blue slippers hooked on her toes.

"The decorating for the newly promised 20 churches has started," she took a sip from her teacup, "but the Elf Race is also under a lot of pressure. The Archbishop stationed at the Elf Race constantly visits the Great Elder’s house, always discussing the Spirit Awakening Sect’s church matters."

Wu Heng was not surprised. With a flick of his fingers, the teapot automatically refilled their cups, "This concerns faith, so naturally every place will try to obstruct."

"It’s indeed pushing the boundaries of The Holy Court," Shanaela’s eyes narrowed slightly, "If you want the Elf Race to completely side with you, current benefits aren’t enough, unless..."

Wu Heng raised his eyebrows, awaiting her next words.

Shanaela spoke softly, "Unless you can produce something irresistible or show the Elf Race that The Holy Court won’t do anything to them."

She naturally wanted the Elf Race to support Wu Heng, making it completely his ally race.

This also involved the safety of the Elf Race, ensuring they didn’t fall into danger because of this matter.

"Alright, I’ll think of something," Wu Heng nodded.

Shanaela didn’t say much more, taking out two intricately carved wooden coffins from the Space Ring.

The coffins were wrapped with thorn and rose patterns, looking like artwork at first glance.

"One is Level 17, the other Level 15, the highest-level corpses I could find in a short time," Shanaela said.

She had mentioned bringing back corpses over the phone before.

"The levels are enough," Wu Heng casually put them into the Space Ring.

After chatting for a while, Mini came with some refreshments, "Sister Shanaela, freshly baked cranberry scones!"

Shanaela stood up and said, "Come on, let’s go to the pavilion."

The two headed to the courtyard, sitting at the pavilion, drinking tea and enjoying snacks.

Wu Heng then left, heading to where the Coroner was at the Island Lord’s Mansion to dissect the Wood Elf corpse. After putting the internal organs into the Organ Jar, the corpse was transformed into a Skeleton.

He returned just in time for dinner.

...

After dinner, Wu Heng returned to the study.

In the room, his four Ghosts were all present, rarely wandering off.

Listening to the Four Souls talk, they were discussing dubbing matters.

Seeing Wu Heng enter, Lady floated over, "Regarding the dubbing, I’ll select people tomorrow. Any suggestions?"

Wu Heng took out the Organ Jar from the Space Ring, "Look for Bards, good voice, strong script skills, and can bring revenue to the island."

Recently, Bards from various places have been gathering at Gold and Silver Island.

The number of High Level Bards is also increasing.

Just in time for the animation dubbing.

"What you said makes sense," Lady nodded in agreement, "I’ll have Annette issue a notice, tomorrow we’ll conduct auditions, and get the script ready as soon as possible."

"Okay! You should handle yours first; don’t forget to write the Body Refining Technique."

"Got it." Lady, together with Xiao Xiao, went to the city hall to deal with Annette and the notices.

Wu Heng opened the heart inside the Organ Jar, cut off a small piece with a fruit knife.

Without much thought, he directly threw it into his mouth and swallowed.

As soon as the flesh entered his stomach, immense pain exploded like thorns from his gut.

After a few moments, the pain receded like a tide.

A system notification promptly appeared.

[Fusion Trait: Charm Resistance.]

[Charm Resistance]: Great advantage against charm.

Wu Heng raised his eyebrows.

Only one trait appeared, indicating strong resistance to charm.

"Ah~! It’s redundant," Wu Heng sighed, as his [Enhance Will] already made him immune to such disturbances, so this trait wasn’t very useful to him.

Wu Heng put the Organ Jar away, pondering for a while, he concluded, "Elf Race and Wood Elf share lineage, last time I fused with the Elf Race trait, so only one appeared for the Wood Elf."

Oh well, better than nothing.

Picked up the teacup and took a sip.

When it got late, I returned to the room to rest.

...

Bedroom.

Shanaela leaned on the desk, wearing a deep blue silk nightdress, looking down at the book on the desk.

Hearing footsteps, she glanced sideways, then turned back again.

Wu Heng stood behind her, his fingertips sliding down her graceful shoulder and neckline, hooking gently.

Shua.

The loose nightdress slipped down, flowing like moonlight to her waist, revealing a large expanse of snowy white skin.

Wu Heng gently caressed the smooth back, then slipped through her underarms, cradling her chest.

"Mmm...," Shanaela let out a soft moan from her throat, her eyes half-closed, leaning back into her man’s embrace, feeling the warmth emanating from his palms, "haven’t had enough touch yet?"

Wu Heng leaned close to her ear, "Aren’t they bigger again?"

"Nonsense!" Shanaela’s ear tips turned red, her elbow lightly jolting backwards, "It’s you who can’t remember the size...!"

Before she finished speaking, Wu Heng suddenly lifted her up by the waist, pressing her onto the desk in an instant.

Shanaela propped herself up on the desk, her blue-gray long hair cascading down like a waterfall, looking at the entwined shadows of the two on the wall, her gaze turning even softer, "Gently, the desk is already damaged."

This statement seemed like a challenge, making the force from behind increase a few notches.

...

The next day, morning.

Wu Heng sat in the living room, opened the panel and took a look.

[Faith: 1427/50000.]

His eyes brightened suddenly.

The last time it was over seven hundred, now it has doubled.

It seems that the combination of churches and smart speakers across various regions has clearly started to take effect.

At this speed, as long as The Holy Court doesn’t interfere, I will definitely be able to break through the hero stage.

Tap tap tap~!

Footsteps sounded.

"The energy of the Heroic Rank is indeed exuberant!" Shanaela descended gracefully from the stairs, her simple white dress outlining a slender waist, blue-gray long hair loosely pinned up with a silver branch hairpin, golden earrings dangling from her ears.

"Let’s go!" Shanaela brushed her hand over his shoulder, "Early to go and early to return, so I can take another nap."

Wu Heng wrapped his arm around her waist, the light of the teleportation technique instantly enveloping the two.

When they reappeared, they were already in the courtyard of the Spirit Awakening Sect church.

Several nuns pruning roses were startled, hurriedly paying respects upon recognizing the visitors, "Leader, Elder Shanaela!"

"Summon all the clergy, Leader has something to announce," Shanaela spoke.

The nun nodded, then added, "Do the newly joined Heavenly Fox Clan members need to come along?"

Shanaela glanced at Wu Heng, who said, "Call everyone over!"

The Priest departed, and Wu Heng explained, "Some of Lady’s clansmen were brought to the Gold and Silver Island a few days ago, and some were arranged into the church."

"Mmm!" Shanaela nodded.

Ten minutes later, the courtyard was filled with figures in Spirit Awakening Sect clergy attire.

Among them were Wood Elves, Humans, and the Heavenly Fox Clan, with the Wood Elves mostly serving as priests, and humans mostly as nuns. The Heavenly Fox Clan didn’t even have nun outfits.

Once everyone gathered, Shanaela loudly announced, "Leader needs to select some capable priests and nuns to be sent to churches in various regions. Aifulin, you will do the selection: 30 priests and appropriately more nuns."

"Yes!" Aifulin nodded, starting to pick out several Wood Elf priests.

Unlike at the very beginning where all were female priests, now there were both men and women.

...

City hall, meeting room.

Sunlight spilled into the room through the floor-to-ceiling window, illuminating the long table.

Opposite the table sat four figures, three big and one small, each clad in magnificent attire, but their clothes wrapped their bodies so tightly, it was hard to see any exposed skin.

The door was gently pushed open, a bard dressed in a brown long robe walked in.

He bowed slightly, his voice gentle and steady, "Ladies and madam, my name is Laines, an 11th-level bard."

Lady raised her chin, "Which role do you want to audition for?"

"Jiang Ziya."

Lady handed over a line, "Recite a part of the script for us."

Laines closed his eyes to contemplate, then opened them, saying, "If Heaven does not allow those with kindness, what’s the use of such Heaven!"

Lady nodded, "You’re not bad, leave your name, and we’ll schedule a recording audition for you."

"Thank you, madam." The other party excitedly bowed, left his name and address, then turned to leave.

Xiao Xiao muttered, "Why is no one auditioning for the Black Fox King?"

"Everyone cares about reputation; who would want to play him."
