It's so hard being a hero!

"A woman who carries the aura of Lilith claims to possess a high-purity power of light from birth? Do you think we believe that?"

Evelyn leaned against the wall, panting heavily.

She was finally able to speak.

Chapter 91 Sofia, Drenched in Sweat

After her neck was released, Evelyn immediately began to breathe heavily.

She glanced at Frey, then at Sophia, and finally her gaze settled on Vic, lost in thought.

"I'm telling the truth."

Evelyn said in a serious tone.

“I am Lilith’s daughter and the saintess of the Temple of Desire, but I do not know where the power of light within me comes from.”

These two identities made Frey and her two companions even more serious; they had caught a big fish.

Frey crossed her arms, gesturing for her to continue.

“Keep talking, tell me everything you have to say, or I’ll take your life.”

Evelyn took a deep breath and began to sort out the thoughts that had been buried in her heart for many years.

“I discovered from a young age that I could use light magic, and it was very pure. I asked my mother many times, but she never gave me a direct answer. She only said that I had to find the answer to this question myself.”

She paused for a moment before continuing.

"Later, I looked through a lot of records and secretly collected some information. I found that the time period when I was conceived was exactly three months after the previous hero Su Lan was imprisoned by my mother."

As soon as he said that, the dormitory fell into a deathly silence.

Vic, who was leaning against the door, visibly stiffened, and Frey's expression froze instantly.

Sophia stood there, her mind going blank, as if struck by lightning, and remained stunned for a long time.

"What, what did you say?"

Sophia's voice stammered.

Evelyn looked at her and continued, "I said, my father might be the previous hero, Su Lan."

These words exploded like a bomb in the small dormitory room.

Frey's eyes flashed with murderous intent, and the next moment, she grabbed Evelyn's throat again.

"You, say that again?"

Frey's voice was icy cold.

Upon seeing this, Sophia quickly stepped forward and grabbed Frey's wrist.

"Um, don't rush her, let her finish speaking."

Frey turned to look at her, her eyes filled with shock and anger.

But she eventually let go and looked coldly at Evelyn.

"Explain yourself clearly."

Evelyn coughed a few times, rubbed her neck which had been pinched red, and took several seconds to speak again.

“My mother, Lilith, has mentioned Su Lan’s name to me a few times. Every time she mentions him, her expression is strange, a feeling I can’t quite describe, like expectation or satisfaction.”

"She also said something that I've remembered for many years: 'Let me see what the product of the combination of desire and light will look like.'"

These words were like a key, unlocking a long-sealed door deep in Sofia's memory.

She never wanted to recall that memory; those humiliating scenes were deliberately buried deep in her heart.

But at this moment, those images involuntarily flooded back.

The breath Lilith exhaled as she leaned close to her ear, the playful anticipation in her purple eyes, and the way she looked at her like a hunter eyeing its prey.

At the time, she only felt that it was humiliation, torture, and that Lilith was toying with her mind and body.

But looking back now, it seems that there was something else mixed in with those "manipulations".

"The union of desire and light..."

Sophia repeated the sentence to herself, her face growing increasingly pale.

Her gaze unconsciously fell on Evelyn.

With long, dark golden hair and purplish-gold eyes, her features were exquisite with a touch of eerie beauty, yet there was a hint of familiarity in her eyes and brows.

Especially the contours of her face, which did indeed bear some resemblance to her appearance in her previous life.

Sophia's expression visibly became complicated.

"Holy crap, no way..."

Vic's voice came from the doorway, carrying a strange tone that was suppressed, as if he didn't know whether to cry or laugh.

He looked at Evelyn, then at Sophia, then at Frey, his expression a fascinating mix of emotions.

"Hey! What exactly did you go through back then?" Vic's voice rang in Sophia's ear again.

Sofia's lips twitched slightly, but she didn't answer.

Seeing that she didn't speak, Vic added a telepathic message.

"You're amazing! You even slept with the Witch of Desire..."

"you shut up."

Sofia finally couldn't hold back anymore.

But Vic's words also reminded her.

Because this possibility is very high.

She looked up at Evelyn.

There was indeed a subtle sense of closeness between Evelyn and her.

The conflicting feeling that made her instinctively want to get closer suddenly found a reasonable explanation at that moment.

If Evelyn was indeed conceived by her using both Lilith's and her own power, then all of this makes sense.

Frey remained silent.

She stood to the side, arms crossed, her expression as cold as still water.

But Sofia noticed that her fingers, which were resting on her arm, were trembling slightly.

After a long silence, Frey finally spoke, her voice unusually calm.

“Evelyn, I have a question for you.”

She stared intently into Evelyn's eyes.

"You just said you came to Tianxing Academy to investigate her?"

She pointed at Sophia.

Evelyn paused for a moment, then nodded.

"Yes, Mother sent me to investigate her background because she destroyed a branch of our temple at Truk Fortress and crushed a crystal of desire."

"Do you know who she is?"

Evelyn shook her head.

"I don't know, my mother just asked me to find out her identity."

Frey stared at her for a few seconds, her lips twitching slightly, as if she wanted to laugh or get angry.

"You've been investigating clues about your biological father all along."

These words caused Evelyn's body to visibly tremble.

She opened her mouth as if to say something, but in the end she just lowered her head and remained silent.

Sophia stood to the side, looking at Evelyn's face, which was full of complicated emotions, and felt a surge of indescribable feelings.

She thought that being killed by Lilith in her previous life was the most humiliating ending, but she never expected that such a "surprise" would be waiting for her after death.

Frey finally turned around and glared at Sophia with a murderous look in her eyes, which made Sophia freeze.

"Um, Miss Sophia."

Sofia instinctively took a half step back.

"what?"

"Is there something you want to tell me?"

Frey asked with a grin, but her smile sent chills down Sophia's spine.

Sofia's forehead was covered in cold sweat.

She opened her mouth, wanting to explain, but swallowed the words back.

Because she realized she couldn't explain it at all.

"Um, me."

Sofia stammered for a long time.

"Forget it, you don't need to say anything, it has nothing to do with me anyway."
