You're my wife, don't doubt it!

"Get lost!" Yu Bo said, "I suddenly remembered something only you and I know. You told me in the small garden of Sacred Heart Church that you felt like I was your father—"

Xiao Yao quickly covered Yu Bo's mouth: "Okay, I understand. I believe you now."

Then he released Yu Bo.

Yu Bo ran over to his father and squatted down, asking him a few words of concern. Yu Texuan then quickly exchanged information with Yu Bo about what had happened on their side.

"Hiss—so what that imposter said about the Saint Cloth and Saint Body being stolen, and about the Great Ram, is all true. This person first impersonated the Great Ram to deceive you, and then after leaving, he impersonated Xiao Yao to deceive me… Who could have imagined that?" Yu Bo said thoughtfully, "Then Qiu… Qiu… Little Qiu, is what you said about the Awakening Fortress true?"

"What does 'fortress' mean?" Lucia asked, somewhat confused.

“She didn’t,” Xiao Yao told Yu Bo.

"Xiao Yao, hand me that box," Yu Bo ordered.

"Hey." Xiao Yao picked up the suitcase and walked towards Yu Bo, asking, "What are you doing here?"

“I want to make a mass.” Yu Bo took the suitcase and placed it on the small altar.

"Now?" Xiao Yao was taken aback, then immediately understood Yu Bo's intention: "How long will it take? I feel like this door is about to give way."

“I’ll do it as fast as I can,” Yu Bo said, opening the briefcase and taking things out one by one. “Oh no, I forgot the sacrificial robe.”

"I think I found it here!" Lucia jumped up, ran to the small cabinet next to the shoe rack, squatted down, opened the cabinet door, and searched inside: "Found it!"

“White sacrificial robes…it should be green today, right…?” Yu Bo muttered. “Never mind, I can’t worry about that now. Xiao Yao, you can assist in the sacrificial rites…ah, you haven’t been baptized yet…”

Yu Bo's eyes swept over the remaining three people.

Xiao Yao blurted out, "Let Lu Jiaya assist, she'll definitely succeed."

Yu Bo and Lucia exclaimed in unison, "She's a woman!" "I'm a woman!"

Xiao Yao: "?"

Yu Baolu began, "My father's leg is injured, so it seems I'll have to come. But I'm not very familiar with the area, and I haven't completed the confession process yet..."

"Kneel down," Yu Bo said.

Yu Baolu immediately stood up and knelt at the feet of his younger brother. Yu Bo hastily made the sign of the cross for him, saying, "Now I forgive your sins in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit."

Yu Baolu: "Amen!" Then he stood up.

Yu Bo looked at Xiao Yao again: "Please, kid."

Yu Luying and Shen Jie are both missing and in grave danger. Xiao Yao is extremely anxious and wishes he could sprout wings and go find them. At this moment, he can only reluctantly nod and say, "Leave it to me."

The longsword in Xiao Yao's hand gleamed with a cold light, and it was drawn from its sheath again with a "clang".

Yu Bo had only put on half of his vestment with Yu Baolu's help when the door to the Communion collapsed with a crash.

He drew a cross on Xiao Yao's longsword, and the sword immediately flashed with a blazing white light.

“You shall not pass!” Xiao Yao said to the regrouped Shadow Army, assuming a starting stance.

“That should be, ‘You shall not be passed!’” Lucia hesitated for a moment before correcting him.

“In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit.” Yu Bo spoke three times faster than usual.

“Ya Meng”.

The shadows howled as they surged through the narrow gate. Xiao Yao raised the half-shield and charged straight at them.

"May the love of the Father, the grace of Christ, and the communion of the Holy Spirit be with you." He spoke so fast that it was almost impossible to hear what he was saying.

"And also with your soul."

The air was filled with the smell of burning fur. Even after Xiao Yao's longsword was blessed by Yu Bo, it had not yet touched the "physical form" of Shadow before it began to burn.

"Brothers and sisters, let us now confess our sins so that we may celebrate the Mass in piety."

"I confess to Almighty God and to all my brothers and sisters my sins in thought, word and deed. I sin, I sin, my grave sins..."

The Shadows had already been 80-90% defeated, and while they were banging on the door, they were calling for reinforcements. Now, the number of people in sight was at least three times that of before.

"Could it be that they've brought in all the remaining troops?" Xiao Yao pondered.

For some reason, the boy heard the rumbling of war drums in his ears, all his fatigue vanished, he could no longer feel the pain of battle damage, and even the armor on his body felt weightless.

He was as light as a swallow.

"Lord, have mercy on me."

"Lord, have mercy on me."

"Christ, have mercy on me."

……

The sounds behind him had faded into the distance. Xiao Yao stood at the doorway of the room, blocking the entire doorway with his body.

The ritual must not be interrupted; the innocent must be protected…

His will was filled with a fanatical fighting spirit; he was a war machine that could not be stopped.

Kill, kill, kill...

Don't block my way.

Give them both back to me.

--split line--

"This Yu Luying is fake!" The fake Xiao Yao hadn't expected that Yu Luying could break through the door and rush out of the cold storage all by herself, and he secretly regretted his arrogance.

"Things are getting a bit out of hand," she thought.

The door to that cold storage room was already strategically protected, and I even cast a sealing spell on it. It should have... it should have...

“You’re the fake one!” Yu Luying accused, “This person came up to the 27th floor and told me he would take me to meet up with everyone, then tricked me into this huge freezer and locked me inside…”

"It was clearly you, it was you!" Xiao Yao shouted. "You disguised yourself as Yu Luying, tricked me into bringing you back to the Holy Body Chamber, and took the opportunity to steal Grandpa's Holy Cloth and Holy Body... Where did you hide Yu Luying? Or are you actually Yu Luying's shadow...?"

"You two, stop arguing!" Shen Jie stomped her foot.

Both of them fell silent.

"Xiao Yao, what brand of safety equipment do we usually use?" Shen Jie asked in a seemingly light tone.

Yu Luying and Xiao Yao were both stunned, the former's face turning pale.

"Don't joke like that," Xiao Yao laughed. "We've never done *that*, so what kind of safety measures would we need?"

Xiao Yao observed Shen Jie's expression and knew that he had made the right bet.

"Where was the first time we spent the night together?" Shen Jie added, "Was it outside?"

Yu Luying frowned slightly, thinking to herself, "Is this the only kind of question you have left?"

“Zhouzhuang,” Xiao Yaozhang blurted out, “Wei’ai Hotel.”

"Haha, you got it wrong," Shen Jie clapped her hands: "It's Rongfu Hotel."

“Oh, that,” Xiao Yao said, “that’s just sleeping, I didn’t subconsciously count it.”

She was pleased to see that she had guessed correctly again.

Shen Jie scratched her head. She wanted to ask about the specific details of the night at the boat resort, but she couldn't bring herself to ask in front of Yu Luying, so she simply changed her target.

“Yu Luying,” Shen Jie asked Yu Luying, “After you rescued me from my house, Daiyu and Yan Xiao came over that day, and the four of us played a game at a hotel in the western suburbs. Do you remember what it was?”

“I never have…” Yu Luying said.

Shen Jie: "Where did we officially announce that we became good friends?"

Yu Luying: "Qingpu, Navara wedding dress, in the fitting room."

Shen Jie: "So, this is the first time the three of us have been together..." She stopped mid-sentence, feeling a little embarrassed, and said, "Never mind."

Xiao Yao: "?"

Shen Jie asked Yu Luying two or three more questions, which Yu Luying answered fluently.

She felt no further verification was needed, and the flames in her palm blazed fiercely as she turned to "Xiao Yao": "What else do you have to say?"

“Wait a minute,” Xiao Yao said, frowning, “is it possible that she’s Yu Luying’s shadow, which is why she knows everything?”

"Can Shadow get close to the Holy Body?" Shen Jie pointed out the doubt: "Brother Bo said that as long as everyone is in the Holy Body room, they are safe."

“Perhaps there are special exceptions?” Xiao Yao retorted, “especially the shadow of someone as devout as Yu Luying…”

Shen Jie was losing patience with these sophistry arguments, but she wanted to confirm one last time: "In Bloodline II, which two classes can an Elf Knight advance to?"

Xiao Yao was completely stunned by this blow, and weakly protested, "It's been so long since I've played games..."

The flames in Shen Jie's hand expanded into a fireball and splattered directly onto "Xiao Yao's" face: "Remember next time, it's a Templar Knight and a Sword Poet."

"Don't start fires indoors!" Yu Luying's chill extinguished the visible flames.

"Isn't it you I'm here for, silly girl?"

“Sister,” Yu Luying reminded her, “half of your chest is showing.”

"Ah!" the girl let out a short scream and quickly wrapped her cloak tightly around herself again.

He looked up and saw that the fake "Xiao Yao" was gone, and a "nun" was standing in front of him.

That "nun," she had no face.
