All of a sudden, Michelle started relentlessly chasing Ye Xunhuan around the room.
Michelle's skills were decent, but compared to Ye Xunhuan, there was still quite a gap, which rendered her unable to do anything to him.
Perhaps feeling annoyed by Michelle's pursuit, just as she was about to kick with her long leg again, Ye Xunhuan didn't evade this time. Instead, he quickly reached out his hand and directly grabbed Michelle's ankle!
Due to Michelle wearing a silk nightgown, Ye Xunhuan's grip on her ankle made her inadvertently exposed, and his sharp eyes seemed to spot a large-headed Hello Kitty smiling at him!
Upon seeing this, Ye Xunhuan couldn't help but laugh inwardly. Who would've thought that the revered Church Saint Michelle was like a little girl!
Michelle was still unaware of her exposure at this moment. Once caught by Ye Xunhuan, she immediately said coldly, "Let go of me..."
"I can let go of you, but you have to stop attacking!"
"If you don't swear, I won't let go, might as well help you stretch your leg!"
Not keeping promises is practically a woman's privilege, and this privilege is regardless of nationality!
"Fine, I swear to Jesus!" Michelle begrudgingly said.
Hearing Michelle truly swear to Jesus, Ye Xunhuan slowly released her.
This time, Michelle indeed didn't attack again, but her sharp gaze still ruthlessly pierced Ye Xunhuan twice.
Ye Xunhuan paid no attention to this, saying blandly, "Michelle, now can you tell me what you really want from me?"
Ye Xunhuan didn't believe Michelle was merely there for a chat.
Upon hearing Ye Xunhuan's words, Michelle snorted lightly and elegantly walked back to the sofa, sitting down slowly. "The appearance of that person yesterday made my uncle realize the severity of the situation, and he's returned to the Church..."
"What does this have to do with me?"
With that, Ye Xunhuan pulled out a cigarette, lighting it for himself, and took a gentle puff.
"What if I told you my uncle is going to inform the others in the Church about this matter?"
"What do you mean?" Ye Xunhuan's face slowly grew solemn. Fınd the newest release on novᴇlfire.net
"The Church is not as simple as you think." Michelle seriously watched Ye Xunhuan, saying, "Behind the Church, there are people hidden. According to your Huaxia's ancient martial sects, they'd be called elders!"
"But in our Church, they're called protectors!" Michelle explained to Ye Xunhuan, "Their skills surpass my uncle, they are the indisputable experts in the Church!"
"You're not going to tell me that old bastard Louis III is planning against me, are you?" Ye Xunhuan widened his eyes at Michelle.
As he finished speaking, Ye Xunhuan seemed to realize something. Without giving Michelle a chance to speak, he continued, "But that's not right, you're the Church's saint, Louis is your uncle, you should be helping him!"
"Believe it or not, I've told you anyway!"
Michelle was too lazy to explain, or perhaps didn't know how to explain.
She couldn't exactly tell Ye Xunhuan, "You're the only one who's seen me exposed. I have some inexplicable feelings toward you, okay?"
After hearing Michelle's words, Ye Xunhuan fell into silence.
The mysterious person was indeed frightening, and Ye Xunhuan had grown much stronger than before; most importantly, he was a Huaxia person.
In Huaxia, there's a saying: "If they're not our kind, their hearts must differ!"
The Church tolerated him before because, although Ye Xunhuan was strong, they could still handle him. But now, the appearance of the mysterious person probably made the Church realize that possibly no one in this world could control Ye Xunhuan!
If a holy war between East and West really broke out, it would be fine if Ye Xunhuan remained neutral. But if he sided with Huaxia, it could become a disaster for many in the West!
Understanding the intricacies, Ye Xunhuan sincerely said to Michelle, "Thank you for telling me all this!"
"It's nothing, just a small matter."
"Aren't you afraid Louis will find out you told me this?"
"If you don't tell, how could he possibly know?"
"But he knows you came to see me, doesn't he?"
"So what?" Michelle said indifferently, "He doesn't know what we talked about!"
Saying this, Michelle exhaled deeply, "Alright, it's getting late. You should leave!"
Ye Xunhuan also knew that the longer he stayed with Michelle, the more awkward it might become. So, upon hearing Michelle's order to leave, he immediately stood up, "Then I'll go now. When you visit Huaxia, I'll host you for a meal!"
Michelle nodded and said nothing.
Just as Ye Xunhuan was about to leave, he seemed to remember something, and turned his head towards Michelle once more, saying, "Oh right, there's one more thing I think you should know..."
"Silk nightwear should be paired with thong underwear to better accentuate a woman's beauty. A large-headed Hello Kitty only makes one seem childish..."
Upon hearing Ye Xunhuan's words, Michelle's face immediately turned dark.
As soon as Ye Xunhuan finished saying this, he dashed out of the room like a storm.
Just as Ye Xunhuan ran out of the room, a sharp voice erupted from inside, as if it wanted to blast the roof off: "Marshal, I will kill you..."
Outside, Gabriel's eyes turned a bit unkind upon hearing Michelle's sharp and angry voice.
Ye Xunhuan saw the situation and smiled awkwardly at Gabriel: "Your saint was confessing to me, and I rejected her, so she's furious..."
Once Ye Xunhuan said this, Gabriel's gaze immediately turned sharp.
Michelle was the saint, pure and immaculate, and couldn't be tainted by anyone; defiling Michelle was akin to insulting the entire Church. Ye Xunhuan was practically doing just that...
"Mate, I was just joking, you wouldn't take it seriously, right?" Ye Xunhuan quickly said upon seeing the murderous intent emerging from Gabriel.
"Marshal, some jokes should not be made." Gabriel warned, "This is the first time, let it be the last!"
Ye Xunhuan dismissed this with a slight sneer.
Then Ye Xunhuan didn't linger there any longer and directly left.
Although Qiu Ruoxi and the others had boarded the yacht early, they hadn't left yet. They were waiting for Ye Xunhuan!
Seeing Ye Xunhuan return safely, Olivia breathed a sigh of relief, and the group proceeded to leave.
"Nothing happened, right?"
"Nothing!" Ye Xunhuan lightly glanced at Olivia, "Do you know about the Church's protectors?"
Upon hearing the word 'protector,' Olivia's face slowly revealed a trace of fear, even carrying an indelible hatred within those eyes.
This hatred seemed to have penetrated to the very marrow and blood.
