“Sit down and face me! A bit closer!” Alex instructed again and waited until the high priestess had sat down. This time, he did not ask if he could touch the area around her heart. Instead, he made his move without a word and pressed it right away.
Gasp!
The high priestess jumped in shock. That was too direct. Even she would be flustered!
But soon, she knew that Alex did not deliberately molest her but he was helping her lift the curse. In her eyes, Alex was guiding the cursed power from her body into his own.
“Lord Saint, you’re so great!”
“Even if I have to sacrifice my life, it’ll be difficult to express how moved I am right now.”
‘For a moment, I actually had a thought, if Lord Saint was trying to molest me, I really deserve to die a thousand deaths. How could I tarnish the holy heart of the Lord Saint? If he grabbed that side of mine, I should offer him the other side, right?!’
The high priestess was overwhelmed with self-reproach.
Alex let go of her five minutes later.
He had successfully condensed the ninth golden core as well.
“Alright, next!”
“Lord Saint, don’t you need to rest for a while?” the high priestess said anxiously. She could feel that her curse had been lifted. It was simply amazing.
“No need. Hurry up, go call the others to come in line,” Alex said. “It’d be best that there are no delays in between. It will make me waste a great amount of Chi.”
Soon, all the people in the village came over. A rather long queue had formed at the building’s entrance.
Alex looked at the plate of fruits. The next second, he was stunned!
‘Is this real?’
Weren’t those the heavenly law fruits for the concoction of the heavenly law pill?
‘Listen, just… Just eat a few fruits!’
‘Is this a fruit?’
‘You’re showing off your fortune to me, right?!’
