Once upon a time there was a greedy snake.

Chapter 176 Inheriting the Will of the Serpent God

Senette, wife of the war priest Hathorunu, is a well-known figure in the holy city of Heliopolis.

As for the reasons for her fame, one is naturally because she had a father who was a high priest, and the other is because of her bold and unrestrained style, especially when Hathorunu was not at home.

Many young people have benefited from her kindness, although most of them have disappeared without a trace.

However, for Senette herself, it was no big deal. It was just a pastime in her boring life. When a person is born with everything, life becomes dull. So she needed these little stimuli in her daily life to fill the boredom and emptiness in her life.

Recently, Senette felt that she had been quite lucky. The young swordsman named Habisa, although he was an assassin sent by her husband to kill her secret lovers, his beast-like danger and strength did bring her a lot of novelty.

Of course, if it's only this level, then the luck can only be considered average. While it's not easy to find such fierce warriors who have retreated from the front lines, it's far from being impossible to find.

But now, something truly unique has appeared that cannot be found through ordinary means.

"The will of the sun god has actually possessed a mortal..."

Senette trembled with excitement whenever she thought of this news.

Yes, even fierce warriors have substitutes, but right now, this sun god who has descended to earth is truly unique.

So, almost instinctively, Sennett’s attention turned to the sun god who had descended to earth. She spared no effort in searching for all information related to the sun god and tried to find any opportunity to meet him—she was willing to pay any price just to be alone with the noble sun god for a while.

This directly led to the swordsman named Habisa being neglected. Within just a few days, the two had lost their previous close relationship and even stopped seeing each other altogether.

However, pursuing the sun god is obviously not so easy. Even though Senette's father is a high priest, she can't do much in this top-secret project. After half a month, she hasn't found a single opportunity. The only thing related to it is the news that Habisa brought back earlier.

This reminded Senette of Habiza once again.

After hitting a wall for half a month, Senette was somewhat disheartened. Since she couldn't find the noble sun god, she could only make do with Hapisa for now.

However, it was at this moment that Senette suddenly realized that something seemed off about this young swordsman.

This young swordsman seemed completely different from her previous secret lovers—if it were those people, let alone being ignored by her for half a month, even if they didn't contact her for just two or three days, they would have gone crazy looking for her and even questioned her about whether she had fallen in love with someone else.

But this young swordsman has not contacted her even once, and has even ignored her for half a month.

"Who is really ignoring whom?"

Senette suddenly felt unwell.

Given her background, she was always the one who ignored others, even when it came to her husband, Hatorlunu.

When will someone ignore her?
Where is that kid?

Senette, increasingly frowning as he thought about it, simply summoned a servant and inquired about Habisa's whereabouts.

Senette was quite surprised by the servant's reply. Just half a month ago, on the very first day she turned her attention to the sun god, Habisa had already left the holy city of Heliopolis and returned to his hometown.

"This……"

Senette was stunned; this answer was completely beyond her expectations.

If others were to return to their hometowns, that would be within her understanding. After all, many of the people she had had in-depth conversations with were high-ranking officials and nobles. Saying they were returning to their hometowns was actually similar to returning to their fiefdoms. They would actually be more comfortable living after leaving the holy city of Heliopolis.

As for this Habisa... she had inquired about his background. He was an ordinary farmer who had become a divine warrior by chance. Later, he was lured by the snake demon but returned with information. Before gaining her favor, he could only fight on the front lines to make a living. Even if such a person returned to his hometown, there would be no reason for him to speak.

"However, he is now a priest after all."

Thinking about this, Senette realized the change in the other party's identity.

Yes, that's about it. A poor boy from a farming family finally became the priest he had always dreamed of. Of course, he had to wear the priest's robes back home to show those who looked down on him back then how successful he was now.

"Now it seems that he hasn't come back for half a month, so he's probably still showing off to his poor relatives."

Although Senette had never experienced such a life, she could understand the situation. After all, she had seen far too many young people who, after finally passing the priesthood exam, thought they were in charge of everything.

"Then let's throw out everything he used."

Thinking of this, Senette immediately lost interest in the swordsman named Habisa, simply because the demeanor he exuded was rather repulsive to her.

But just as Sennett was directing his men to clean the entire house again...

Suddenly, she noticed that a servant was holding a brand-new white robe.

That was clearly not Hathorunu's white robe. The supervising priest had already taken his personal clothes to the front lines, and judging from how brand new it was... it was obviously the one that Habisa had just received!
"how is this possible?"

Senette was stunned on the spot. Habisa had only recently become a priestess, and her attention had been focused on the sun god. She hadn't had time to take him to get a change of white robes. In other words, the swordsman named Habisa only had this one robe that symbolized his priesthood.

After leaving the robe behind, the swordsman named Habisa had nothing left to prove his priesthood.

"This……"

Senette suddenly felt that things were not quite as she had expected.

"He's even giving up his priesthood, so what's he going back to do?"

Thinking this, Senette quickly summoned several servants and sent them to Habiza's hometown.

She was eager to know what Habisa was doing right now.
