Chapter 32: Tainting the Seat of Mercy
Lika nestled happily in Luo Yuxi’s arms, her previous fanaticism and disgust gone. Luo Yuxi, having easily conquered Lika, began to ponder why her impulsive, “lust over love” approach was so effective.
“This is a healthy witch game, after all…”
Luo Yuxi looked at the ongoing battle in the sky. No matter how they fought, they couldn’t break through each other’s defenses. Even with all the debuffs, the All-Knowing Witch was still a demigod.
“How long are they going to fight…?”
Luo Yuxi muttered, then picked up Lika’s clothes and helped her dress, then carried her on her back. Lika, blind and exhausted from Luo Yuxi’s “torment,” was limp.
“I’ll take her away from the battlefield first. If we get caught in the aftershocks, we’re both doomed…”
“Everything for Master. I will obey your every command~”
“Although being called that is a bit strange, it feels surprisingly good.”
Luo Yuxi carefully made her way through the battlefield, avoiding the fighting angels and charging Church soldiers. She had intended to take Lika back to the Church, but Lika clung to her, whispering “Master” in her ear. If anyone saw them…
“Master~ Just one more hug~”
“Huh? Did I do something wrong…?”
Luo Yuxi had only wanted to stop Lika from sacrificing herself, using a slightly more “extreme” method. But now, Lika was like a broken record, constantly calling her “Master.”
“If you keep calling me that, how can I take you back to the Church…?”
“I don’t need to go back. I’m Master’s now~”
“You…”
Luo Yuxi gently put Lika down. They were a safe distance from the battlefield.
“If you keep seducing me, how can I resist~?”
Luo Yuxi reached out to undress Lika, but stopped, seeing a figure emerge from the bushes.
“What’s wrong, Master? Why did you stop?”
Lika looked at Luo Yuxi, then at the familiar white and gold bishop’s robes. Luo Yuxi’s heart skipped a beat.
“You! What are you doing?! So shameless…!!”
“I… it’s not me! I just thought her clothes were dirty, so I…”
“So you were going to undress her? Who are you fooling?!”
It was Yuehua Fengyun, the Seat of Mercy. She had been searching for injured nuns when she heard a voice. Seeing the pink-haired figure, her heart leaped, thinking she had rescued her. Then she saw Lika and was relieved she was safe. She had expected a happy reunion, but instead, she saw Lika and Luo Yuxi in a compromising position.
“No! Bishop, please listen to me!”
“Your disgusting hobby with witches, I’ve already turned a blind eye! But now you’re even going after a bishop!”
“Witch hobby? What are you talking about? I don’t know!”
“With your Witch Domination skill, you play with those young witches every day! I know all about it!!”
“Huh?!”
Luo Yuxi was stunned. She had almost forgotten about her made-up “Witch Domination” skill. And Yuehua Fengyun had even been thinking about it. Her mind raced, trying to find a way out of this mess, but Yuehua Fengyun didn’t give her a chance.

“I’ve recorded everything. When we get back, everyone will know your true intentions!”
“Wait, Bishop, I have no intentions!”
Yuehua Fengyun turned away, as if ready to expose her. She had once had a crush on Luo Yuxi, but after learning about her “hobby,” she had suppressed her feelings. And now, Luo Yuxi had gone after a bishop.
“I admit I had feelings for you, but to go after a bishop!”
Yuehua Fengyun was about to leave when Luo Yuxi grabbed her sleeve, her eyes filled with tears.
“Is there no way to resolve this…?”
“Th-This…”
Yuehua Fengyun hesitated, but seeing Lika’s strange expression and confused words, she hardened her heart and pushed Luo Yuxi away.
“It was consensual, I can’t interfere. But using such despicable means…”
“Do I still have a chance…?”
“…”
“Alright, I understand…”
Seeing Yuehua Fengyun’s silence, Luo Yuxi lowered her head, then looked up, her eyes cold, a smile on her lips.
“Then I’m sorry. Lika, can you help me calm this bishop down~?”
Before Luo Yuxi could finish, Lika’s eyes lit up, and she raised her hand. Chains shot out from all directions, binding Yuehua Fengyun.
“What… what are you doing?!”
“Negotiations have failed. Time to flip the table…”
Luo Yuxi grabbed Yuehua Fengyun’s collar and ripped it open, the buttons scattering on the ground.
“The first time might hurt a little~”
“!!!!”
