After the slave owners went bankrupt, they all wanted to keep me as a mistress.

Vera subtly moved closer to Mu Qiu, slipped her small hand under his clothes, and gently scratched his lower abdomen.

"Vera, what are you doing?"

Mu Qiu felt a little itchy from her movements, but since the Holy Maiden was not far away, he had no choice but to tense up and ask in a low voice.

"I'm just helping my owner catch bugs, la la la."

Vera whistled and casually withdrew her little hand.

hum.

It's impossible for that lewd saintess to steal her master's attention, right?

A pure elf is certainly more attractive than a lewd saintess, because a pure elf like her must be much rarer than a lewd saintess, right?

"..."

That lewd gaze...

Serafia turned around and saw Mu Qiu and the other two sitting on the earth dragon.

Her gaze lingered on Vera for a moment.

As expected of the Elf... she didn't seem surprised at all.

And that young lady, the knight, although her gaze wasn't lewd, kept having some terrible thoughts swirling in her mind.

Serafia sighed inwardly.

Is it because her cultivation is not yet up to par?

I secretly cast a sixth-tier Mind Purification spell before, but why did it have no effect at all?

What offered Serafia some comfort was that the traveler kept looking at her with honest eyes.

When three people walk together, one of them is bound to be upright!

"Your Excellency, do you not have a mount?"

Mu Qiu stopped the dragon not far from Serafia and asked in surprise.

The entrance to the underground city is quite a distance from the city, and walking there is not only time-consuming, but also a considerable drain on physical strength and energy.

Serafia shook her head slightly, her voice clear and melodious: "The temple's horses are gentle and not suitable for entering the area around the dungeon. The aura of the monsters there can easily frighten them. I usually walk, which is also a form of training my will."

This is, of course, just an excuse used to the outside world.

The real reason is that the mounts she rides are affected by her curse. While she is on the mounts, she can suppress them with holy light, but as soon as she leaves, the mounts will instantly go out of control.

If every time she travels on her mount, it starts attacking other horses in a frenzy upon her return, it inevitably leads people to speculate about something.

To avoid potential rumors, Serafia usually travels on foot or using teleportation arrays.

Mu Qiu looked at the earth dragon beneath him and patted its neck, which was covered with tough scales: "Would the Holy Maiden like to come with us? It would save us some time."

Upon hearing this, Serafia turned her face, which was covered by a black cloth, slightly toward the direction of the earth dragon, and hesitated for a moment.

She really hoped to get to the underground city as soon as possible to investigate the source of the riot.

Her profession is Holy Prayer, an all-around spellcaster of the faith system.

Faith-based professions are normally the weakest of all professions, but depending on the sincerity of their faith and the favor of the gods, those who receive divine blessings are also the professions with the highest potential.

A holy supplicant like her, with her extremely devout faith and favored by the Mother Goddess, can gain stronger melee combat abilities than a Templar, stronger spellcasting abilities than a Legendary Mage, and even stronger blessing and healing abilities than a Legendary Priest through divine magic.

Even though she was still in the early stages of the Legendary realm, even a Legendary-level Dragon Knight riding a pureblood dragon of the same Legendary level would never be a match for Serafia at full strength, and might even be defeated by her without taking any damage.

However, the drawbacks of faith-based professionals are equally obvious.

Because its combat power is highly dependent on divine magic, and the number of times divine magic can be used each day is limited, its normal abilities will be very weak if it does not use divine magic.

Therefore, religious professionals like them usually create divine spell scrolls from the divine spells bestowed by the goddess through prayer, carrying some with them and submitting the rest to the temple.

A legendary jungle hunter can move at high speed through the forest using the "Forest Walk" skill, while a legendary mage can fly at high speed using flight magic, reaching the dungeon entrance in less than twenty minutes.

However, legendary-level Holy Prayer can only rely on teleportation arrays and mounts when traveling, and walking takes at least three or four hours, while riding an earth dragon takes at most a little over an hour.

Serafia can cast an eighth-tier divine spell once a day, or a seventh-tier divine spell three times a day, or a sixth-tier divine spell nine times a day. She also has the ability to pray to the goddess to obtain additional divine spells.

If she uses two divine spells to increase stamina and speed specifically to speed up her journey, it means she won't be able to use any more eighth-tier divine spells today.

But... I'm riding a horse with a stranger...

Serafia's beautiful eyes paused for a moment, finally settling on the mithril-grade staff in Vera's hand.

If it's the rumored moon fairy girl, that wouldn't be a problem.

Moreover, for some reason, the aura she sensed from that staff now seemed much weaker than before.

This made Serafia feel a little nervous.

Could it be that this aura, similar to the curse on her body, did not originate from these dungeon equipment pieces, but rather that these dungeon equipment pieces were tainted with the curse aura from other places?

If that's the case, then she'd better study it carefully before the curse dissipates...

"In that case... I'll take my leave."

Serafia accepted Mu Qiu's invitation. She walked slowly towards the earth dragon with an elegant posture and nodded slightly in Vera's direction: "Miss Elf, may I sit with you?"

Vera was leaning her back against Mu Qiu's back when she heard this. Her pointed ears twitched, and she nodded lazily: "Of course."

"Well, I'm sorry."

Serafia spoke softly, then stepped onto the footrests and sat sideways on the broad back of the earth dragon, positioned right behind Vera, near the edge of the dragon's back.

After taking her seat, she reached out and brushed her golden hair from her forehead, straightened her back, and tried to keep her body as far away from Mu Qiu as possible.

Seeing this, Fiona kindly moved back a little, making room for the Saintess in the space behind Mu Qiu: "Your Excellency, please sit a little further in the middle!"

"It's fine, this is fine."

Serafia politely declined.

She has a unicorn-level obsession with cleanliness; she is only willing to get close to girls with pure hearts.

The young lady knight was still thinking about something lewd, and she didn't really want to get too close to him.

Seeing that everyone was seated, Mu Qiu gave the reins a tug: "Hold on tight! Let's go!"

"Roar--!"

The earth dragon let out a low roar, took heavy steps, and began to run towards the entrance to the underground city deep in the wilderness.

The initial stretch of the road was relatively flat, and the earth dragon ran quite smoothly, allowing Serafia's tense body and nerves to relax a little.

She started talking to Vera, who was standing in front of her.

"Miss Elf, what is your relationship with Mr. Traveler...?"

"It's the kind of relationship where we sleep in the same bed every night."

Vera turned to the side, raising her chin high to reveal her snow-white neck, a bright smile on her face: "Also, don't call me Miss Elf. I have a name too, you know. I'm Vera the Elf, just call me Vera!"

"Every, every night you sleep in the same bed?!"

Serafia's delicate body trembled slightly.

"Yes, sometimes we even have to use our mouths to help our masters get rid of those lewd thoughts."

Vera tilted her head, a slightly troubled expression on her pretty face: "After all, Master bought me for this kind of thing. Because he was worried that I wouldn't be able to withstand Master's attacks, Master even used expensive magic potions to help me upgrade from Silver rank to Orichalcum rank..."

She touched her flat stomach and smiled slightly: "Ever since my master filled my belly with sticky liquid, I can't live without his magic potion."

Mu Qiu: "..."

How could you, an elf, describe something as exciting as drinking potions to level up in such a vulgar way?

And I didn't help you improve your strength for that reason, did I?

"Is that so...?"

Serafia subconsciously shifted her body back a little, a slightly stiff smile appearing on her beautiful face.

—It smells like a lie.

She had initially thought the elf lady's lewd gaze was due to the aura of the curse, but now it seemed... that wasn't the case at all.

Serafia suddenly felt a pang of regret.

If she had known, she shouldn't have sat with Miss Vera, even if it meant using her precious opportunity to cast a divine spell.

So, the moon elves aren't actually a pure and noble race?

No, no, no, this should be an exception, right? It should be an exception, right? Just because you met Miss Vera, you mistakenly thought that other moon elf girls were like Miss Vera or something. That would be very rude to other moon elf girls.

Serafia reflected on her own prejudices.

At this point, the road surface in the wild began to become rugged and uneven.

In addition, the gait of the earth dragon is different from that of a horse; it is heavier and the swaying is greater, so the women sitting on its back felt the bumps becoming more and more obvious.

Seeing a deep pit ahead, Mu Qiu spurred the Earth Dragon to make a sharp turn, clicking his tongue in amazement as he remarked, "Driving this Earth Dragon feels completely different from riding a horse."

If I had to put it into words, it felt like driving a race car with a lag...

Walking on flat ground is fine, but once you have to make a sharp turn, it becomes very difficult for the earth-dragon with its huge body.

"But my riding skills are pretty good, right? Hey, let me show them some more cornering maneuvers!"

Mu Qiu felt that he needed to slightly change his lewd image in their eyes!

They need to know that their owner is actually quite handsome!

"Watch me make a 90-degree right-angle turn!"

As Mu Qiu was thinking this, he didn't notice that the sudden turn of the earth dragon caused the strong centrifugal force to instantly cause Serafia, who was sitting on the very edge and still in a daze, to lose her balance.

"ah!"

After regaining her senses, Serafia let out a short cry of surprise, her body uncontrollably tilting to the outside of the dragon's back, about to fall off!

"Your Holiness, be careful!"

At the critical moment, Fiona, who was sitting diagonally behind her, suddenly reached out and grabbed Serafia's priestess, pulling her back forcefully!

Tear--!

With a forceful pull, Fiona ripped a large gash in Serafia's pure white robes as she pulled her back.

Serafia felt an irresistible force pull her back, followed by the sound of fabric being torn.

Ok?

what's the situation?

Mu Qiu quickly tightened the reins, slowing the earth dragon down, and turned to look at it: "What's wrong? Are you alright?"

"No, it's nothing... Please, please let me go."

Serafia instinctively covered her chest, her face flushed.

At this moment, a long, narrow tear was ripped open on the left side of her priestess, exposing the snow-white skin that had been covered to the air.

Fiona released her grip, but still said with some concern, "Your Excellency, it's too unsafe to sit here! Please come sit in front of me!"

As she spoke, she almost forcibly supported Serafia's slender and supple waist, helping her adjust her posture so that the saintess sat sideways in front of her, directly behind Mu Qiu and Vera, and in front of Fiona herself.

This position puts Serafia in a difficult position, caught between Fiona and Vera.

Serafia's body stiffened instantly again.

She noticed that as Fiona got closer, the lines on her lower abdomen became increasingly hot, which made her feel a little flustered.

What is this female knight thinking?

Only when someone around her harbors desires will the curse on her intensify.

In the past, even when she passed by a brothel, just by walking past the gate, her body never reacted so strongly.

But when she was attacked from both sides by Vera and Fiona, she found that her body's reaction had become several times stronger than before!
