Seeing her still holding a defeated dog’s stance at the last moment, Wayne no longer insists. He turns to look at Dreyne, raises an eyebrow, and says, "Let’s have a game, one round to decide the winner. If I win, you spend the night with me; if you win, I spend the night with you." Is there a difference? Dreyne thought to herself, though she was unconvinced, she already saw the outcome—she was destined to lose. "Nonsense, who do you think you’re underestimating!" Dreyne plopped herself down opposite Wayne, her face as cold as frost and said, "One round to decide the winner, neither of us can back out!" As long as you don’t back out. Wayne gave Dreyne a deep look and, under her incredulous gaze, surrendered immediately upon touching the first card. "Dreyne, this round I lost. Tonight, I’ll spend with you, and you can do whatever you want." Wayne said straightforwardly. Dreyne’s face turned complex. Pressing both hands on the card table, she leaned forward and whispered, "How could you be so reckless, this round doesn’t count, let’s have another." "I said no backing out; why are you cheating again?" "You cheated first, let’s have another round, no matter the result, I’ll accept it." Dreyne said through clenched teeth. "Alright, but anyway, I..." "I surrender, you win." Dreyne surrendered before Wayne could, like a victorious general, crossing her arms with a smug look. But thinking about how the loser has to spend a night with the other, she immediately became earnest, warning, "Don’t mess around, tonight except for playing cards, nothing else is allowed." Dreyne didn’t reply, racking her brains as Wayne seized the initiative, with no reason to take it back. On Wayne’s side, when he suggested playing cards to Dreyne, he had already gained the upper hand. He got up, straightened his back, and looked at his wristwatch. "It’s still early. Want to come with me to see a movie?" "Boring, what’s the point of a movie? Better to play cards." "There are people playing cards in the movie." "Really? Then I have to check it out..." Sukra watched in astonishment as the two pushed the door and left, having never imagined Wayne would take the initiative for once. Also, why did she just refuse? Sukra fretted in place, clasped her hands in front of her chest, and began to pray, murmuring lowly, seeking guidance from the omnipresent Goddess of Death. Is there a possibility she never intended to offend the Goddess, as a devout disciple, even after resigning from the Holy Maiden position, her sincere heart still yearned for death, deciding to perform actions that seemed blasphemous... is it okay? Sukra faintly heard a reproach in her ears, considering it an illusion, and started praying devoutly again. Is it possible she came first? That night, Dreyne didn’t return to the Dark Saintess Manor. She only showed up the next day with a cold face, curbing her usual shameless behavior, becoming as taciturn as Vizi. And then, in the living room, she and Vizi stared at each other, one black, one white, rekindling the past grudge of mutual enmity. As expected, Vizi lost all her chips again and continued to lose thereafter. But this time, Vizi refused to admit defeat. She learned from Dreyne to act shamelessly, adamantly refusing to take off her pants. At the same time, Wayne arranged a meeting with Cote, the Holy Maiden of the Sun Church, in a private room at a high-end restaurant. Apart from the uncooperative Holy Maiden of the Naturalism Church, all other Holy Maidens were in Lundan, including Cote of the Sun Church and Guinevere of the Moonlight Church, both carrying heavy responsibilities, just never finding the opportunity. Cote pushed open the private room door boldly, seeing no one around, only Wayne and herself, even Secretary Mona, Wayne’s shadow, wasn’t there. She couldn’t help but curiously ask, "Wayne, what’s so important that you had to keep it from Guinevere?" "Guinevere would only get in the way, some things are inconvenient to say in front of her." Wayne waved and set up a soundproof barrier, whispered, "Cote, I won’t hide it from you, I’ve figured it out." Cote was overjoyed; she had long figured it out, just waiting for Wayne to nod. This time, she would call it the Fire Element’s mutual pursuit! "You seem to be thinking about some very bad things..." Wayne pursed his lips. Because of the Fire Element, he had a much better impression of Cote and Galle than of Guinevere and Shi Luke, and vice versa, the Sun Church’s Holy Maiden and Goddess also had a good impression of them. Compared to the little cunning Shi Luke, Wayne decided to start with Galle, first going to the Sun God Nation to bully the honest ones. "Well, what do you plan to do... For the record, I was raised with Holy Maiden education... I’m only doing this for the Divine Decree; I don’t like you at all, so don’t go too far..." Cote covered her face with both hands, shyly twisting, not knowing what she thought of, suddenly starting to steam up. Too innocent, Wayne couldn’t bear to bully her and said frankly, "Don’t let your imagination run wild, I’m not planning to date you today, it’s serious business." The Divine Decree isn’t serious business? Cote was extremely displeased, "What serious business, hurry and speak, I’m very annoyed right now. If it’s just for a meal, I’m leaving first." Don’t be in such a hurry to leave. Inviting for a meal is just the first step; there’s also beheading and accepting as a dog. Also, I just love your Sun Church’s straightforward nature! Wayne lowered his voice and said, "I won’t hide it from you, I’ve broken up with the Dark side and plan to turn away from darkness and deal solely with the Sun Goddess." Cote immediately perked up, moved her chair next to Wayne, and widened her eyes, "You should’ve turned away from darkness a long time ago. How did you just realize it now? There’s no benefit in following darkness. You have the Fire Element all over, you were born to live under the Sun." Follow current novels on 𝗻𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹~𝓯𝓲𝓻𝓮~𝚗𝚎𝚝 "It’s not too late now, right?"
