I, the Holy Maiden of Light, tear apart the Outer Gods.

[Item Description: Are you self-conscious about your figure? Do you lament that even your bust size is an A? Don't worry! Just wear these breast pads, and you can go from an A to an F! And, no one will even notice!]

"System, did you pull some strings behind the scenes???" Anjie looked at the two round objects that had appeared in her hand, her face extremely gloomy.

Please don't make excuses for your dark complexion (laughs)

"What a rip-off!" Anjie angrily threw the semi-circular object in her hand to the ground.

boom--

Just then, Anjie's door was suddenly kicked open from the outside.

Before Ange could react, Joan had already rushed into the room, grabbed Ange's shoulder, and said in a deep voice, "The church has sent people to arrest you!"

"What?"

Anjie stared blankly at Qiong in front of her.

Joan stared at Ange with a serious expression. "I just received news that there are rumors circulating that the missing saintess of the Church of Light was captured by the Black Goat Cult in the town of Aisa. The Church received the news and has sent people to look for you."

Hearing this, Anjie was taken aback.

How come I didn't know I was arrested?

"What do we do now?" Anjie felt a headache coming on.

Joan frowned and tentatively asked, "Why don't you come back with me?"

Ange shook her head like a rattle drum.

Having finally escaped from the capital, there was absolutely no way he would go back.

Going back is impossible, it's impossible for me to go back in this lifetime!

After thinking for a moment, Anjie made up her mind, "Then I'll keep running!"

Before Joan could react, Ange put on her nun's habit and ran out of the room like a shot.

He rushed straight to Novia's room.

knock knock --

"Coming, please wait a moment."

The urgent knocking puzzled Novia, but she quickly opened the door.

Upon seeing Ange standing disheveled outside the door, Novia was slightly taken aback. "Ange, what's wrong...?"

Before she could finish speaking, Ange took Novia's hand, looked sincerely into her eyes, and said, word by word:

"Novia, let's elope!"

Novia: "..."

Novia: "???"

Section 41, Chapter 40: I died, I came back to life, and then I died again!

"...Angie, do you have a fever?" Novia reached out and touched Ange's forehead, asking with a worried expression.

Ange shook her head. "I'm telling the truth! Actually, it's like this: I was targeted by a group of bad guys, and I came to Aisa Town to escape their control."

But I never expected they'd find me again. To be on the safe side, I have no choice but to keep running.

Actually, the best way is to run away by yourself.

But after living together for so long, Ange has almost become a useless person due to Novia's meticulous care.

Every morning I am woken up by a gentle and lovely girl. When I open my eyes, there is a hot and delicious meal. When I have nothing to do, I can watch the girl clean the room to pass the time.

Therefore, Ange immediately decided that even if she had to run away, she would take Novia with her!

Novia blinked her big eyes twice. "Is there a bad guy trying to kidnap you? But don't worry... Judge Joan is here, isn't she? I think no matter who comes, Judge Joan can protect us, right?"

And no matter what happens, I'll be by your side, don't worry!

Anjie's lips twitched slightly.

She desperately wanted to tell Novia that Joan had come to capture her...

But in order not to reveal her identity, Anjie had no choice but to swallow her words.

Just then, Joan appeared at the doorway.

She looked at the two girls holding hands with a half-smile and said leisurely, "Among the people who came to capture Ange... there might be members of the royal family."

Anjie looked at Qiong with a puzzled expression.

She didn't know what Joan meant by saying that.

But the next second, Novia turned Ange's face towards her, forcing her to look directly into Novia's fiery red eyes:

"I agree, let's elope now!"

Anjie: "???"

How can this woman change her expression as quickly as turning the pages of a book?

[Ding—Legendary Quest Phase Four: Face your responsibilities, whether you are a saintess or...]

[Content: Let's try our best to maintain our current life without having to run away]

[Success Reward: Depending on the host's progress in completing the mission, a portion of the original Saintess Ange Saint Missis's memories will be restored.]

[Punishment for failure: Erasure of the host's life]

The system's sudden task notification hit Anjie like a ton of bricks.

Looking at the incredibly strict punishment for failure, Ange felt half of her face twitching.

Anjie: Is the punishment for this mission really that severe?

The system has its own evaluation, reward, and punishment mechanism, and punishment and reward are always equivalent.

Anjie: ...

Is the former saintess's memories more valuable than my life?

Although she was very dissatisfied, since the task had already been issued, Anjie could only try to find a solution.

Ange looked at Novia firmly, "Novia, I think you're right. With you all by my side, I feel full of strength. I've decided, I'm not leaving!"

Novia's lips twitched. "No, I still think a tactical retreat would be better..."

"Don't try to persuade me. I know you're worried about me getting hurt, but I'm a loyal follower of the Goddess of Light. Running away like this would only bring shame upon the goddess!"

Anjie clenched her little fist, her face resolute.

"No...I didn't..."

"It's decided then! Novia, you get some rest, we'll face the approaching enemy together!"

"..."

Why did I have to say something? I could have just agreed...

Novia wanted to cry but couldn't.

She could only manage a polite yet elegant smile, "Okay...okay...uh, hehe, good luck~"

Joan, who witnessed all of this, was practically bursting with laughter inside.

...

"Judge Joan, do you know who the church sent to see me?"

After returning to her room, Ange looked at Qiong and asked.

“Ah… speaking of which, this is quite interesting.” Joan said with an amused expression, “Given your status, the Church would at least send an elder or higher to find you.”

But as you know, with the recent ascension of the new king, there are many things happening in the capital. In addition, the council of elders cannot be absent, so the only possibility is for the chief judge to come to you, and only one person can be sent.

Originally, considering that this operation required communication with the people sent by the royal family, the most suitable candidate in theory should have been that old woman, Gaya, but unexpectedly, it was Emir who came.

Ange's face fell when she heard the name "Emil".

"What, you don't want to?" Joan looked at Ange with a half-smile. "In the church, that guy dotes on you the most. If Gaya were to come, you'd definitely get a scolding."

Ange gave a dry laugh: "Chief Judge Emil isn't uncaring towards me... she's the... very special kind..."

As Joan said, of the three chief referees, the one who loved Ange the most was not Joan, but Emil.

Moreover, Emil's affection for Ange bordered on spoiling her, and he would grant her almost all of her requests.

However, it was precisely because of this somewhat morbid pampering that Emil felt that Ange was safest only when she stayed by his side.

During her time at the Holy Church in the capital, whenever Chief Justice Emil was not out, Ange could always see Emil in her vicinity.

It can be said that the biggest obstacle for Ange when she escaped from the church was not the Pope, nor the Presbyterian Church, but... Emil Varand.

Although Chief Judge Gaya is rather old-fashioned, she is a very reasonable person. If Ange were to play the victim and make up a reason, she might actually be able to get away with it.

But Emil...

Joan ruffled Ange's long hair: "I can't help you this time. The royal family is involved in this mission, so I have to leave before they arrive. Otherwise, if they find out that I found you but didn't report it to them, it will cause trouble for the church."

Seeing Angie looking so troubled, Qiong was also a little worried.

However, one's own stance often dictates that one cannot act solely on emotions.

Moreover, to be fair, Joan also believed that Ange would be much safer returning to the Royal Cathedral than staying in such a remote little village.

Anjie nodded obediently.

"Go to sleep, get some rest. Don't worry too much, we can always go back. As for that engagement... well, we'll talk about it later." Joan hugged Ange's head and said gently.

...

The next day, Ange arrived at the office of Luke, the mayor of the town of Aisha, early in the morning.

Luke looked at Ange, whom he hadn't seen in a long time, with surprise. "Sister Ange, is there something you need?"

Ange walked up to Luke's desk and slammed her hands on it, startling Mayor Luke.

After taking a deep breath, Ange stared into Mayor Luke's eyes and said in a low voice:
