Chapter 780 - 818 The Holy Maiden
Li Yifei suddenly burst into laughter and said, "Li Yifei has never known defeat, and if you truly choose this path, then I can only tell you that the Holy War Organization might as well start looking for a new saintess sooner rather than later."
The smile in the saintess’s eyes deepened as she said, "Very good, a demon of the heart like you is exactly what I favor. If I can vanquish this demon of the heart, I will certainly strengthen my sacred heart even more."
Li Yifei suddenly reached out and placed his hand under the saintess’s veil, hooking his finger under her chin. The saintess made no move and allowed Li Yifei’s finger to tilt her chin up, making her head lean back.
Li Yifei leaned forward, looking down at the saintess from above with eyes full of frivolous intent, and slowly spoke, "Since you’re offering yourself up, I’d be discourteous to refuse."
At that moment, the members of the Holy War Organization, upon witnessing Li Yifei’s actions towards their saintess, remained expressionless, one and all. They knew this was the saintess confronting her inner demon, but to others, it was shocking enough to make them stare agape. The Holy War Organization worshiped their saintess fanatically, and any disrespectful words towards her would result in fierce retribution. Li Yifei was blatantly insulting the saintess in public, yet the Holy War Organization showed no reaction. It was inconceivable.
Meeting Li Yifei’s gaze, the saintess said, "Use your methods, whether rough or gentle, as long as you can make me fall in love with you."
Li Yifei’s finger traced from the saintess’s chin up to her lips, gently caressing them before slowly sliding into her mouth.
The expression on the saintess’s face became somewhat coquettish; with her mouth slightly open, she allowed Li Yifei’s finger to slip in, tenderly enveloping it with her tongue and beginning to suckle.
For a saintess to challenge her inner demon was an exceedingly strange affair. Once they chose a person, they could not waver. They would then do everything possible to genuinely fall in love with them, the kind of heartfelt love, and after falling in love, they had to kill their chosen person by their own hand to sever all mortal ties and truly overcome their inner demon.
Traditionally, the targets chosen by saintesses for their inner demons were usually weaker, the most important criteria being handsome looks and gentle consideration, which could stir up their feelings of love more easily. Moreover, the chosen males were often unaware of the saintess’s identity, making the task considerably easier.
