The Cathedral of St. Mary is the largest church in the southeastern city, built during World War II, and has stood for half a century. Despite experiencing the ravages of war, it still stands firm on this land and attracts many tourists each year!

Yet today, the Cathedral of St. Mary is exceptionally lively, a sea of people everywhere, a dense throng as seen from afar, with even police maintaining order at the scene.

The reason for such a large crowd at the Cathedral of St. Mary today is entirely because the Holy Maiden Michelle of the Papacy is holding mass here today!

Michelle, being the Holy Maiden of the Papacy, causes a sensation whenever she appears to conduct mass. It not only attracts all the churchgoers but also draws in some tourists.

Even believers and tourists from neighboring cities have come to the southeastern city to attend this mass.

The Holy Maiden of the Papacy is hailed as the purest woman, and her status is second only to the Pope, so it’s unsurprising that so many are drawn to her.

When Ye Xunhuan, Qiu Ruoxi, and Qin Rumeng arrived, the place was already packed, making it impossible to get in.

"Does the Holy Maiden of the Papacy really have that much influence?" Qin Rumeng said in disbelief at the crowd in front of her.

Qin Rumeng doesn’t believe in God or Buddha, nor does she aspire to be a believer of the Papacy. She lacks knowledge in these matters, so it’s entirely normal for her not to understand.

Just as Ye Xunhuan wanted to speak, a middle-aged woman next to them interjected, "Young lady, it’s clear you’re not one of our believers..."

"The Holy Maiden is our admiration. To see her once in a lifetime means having no lingering regrets, let alone attending a mass she conducts!" the middle-aged woman said with adoration.

For a moment, Qin Rumeng was at a loss for words with the middle-aged woman, who seemed utterly devout and fervent, like a young fan chasing after their idol.

"Moreover, many people arrived last night; it seems I have no hope of squeezing into the church!"

The middle-aged woman’s face slowly showed a trace of helplessness.

"Auntie, have you been brainwashed by Michelle? She’s just a lunatic. She lost to me in cards yesterday and even tried to cheat!" Qin Rumeng couldn’t stand it anymore and blurted out.

"What?" The middle-aged woman immediately widened her eyes and glared at Qin Rumeng with disdain: "The Holy Maiden is the noblest existence; how could she be with you, let alone play cards with you!"

"Young lady, you’re not very old, but you’re quite good at boasting..."

"I..."

"Auntie, I’m sorry, she’s a bit not right in the head; please don’t take her seriously!" Ye Xunhuan quickly said, pulling Qin Rumeng to his side.

Upon hearing Ye Xunhuan say her mind wasn’t right, Qin Rumeng’s face suddenly filled with anger. Just as she was about to say something, Ye Xunhuan hurriedly pulled Qin Rumeng and Qiu Ruoxi away from the area.

After finally squeezing out of the crowd, Ye Xunhuan helplessly said to Qin Rumeng: "My dear aunt, can you stop saying so much unnecessary stuff? And can you stop saying anything bad about Michelle to these people, please?"

"What I said is the truth!"

"But who believes it!" Ye Xunhuan sighed slightly: "In their hearts, Michelle is an untouchable existence. You’ve not only violated her but want to desecrate her; you’ll get beaten here!"

"When that happens, don’t say I didn’t help you!"

Qin Rumeng didn’t know Michelle’s status in the hearts of Papacy believers, but Ye Xunhuan did. With Qin Rumeng’s big mouth, talking ill about Michelle would surely get her beaten.

And these are ordinary people, and Ye Xunhuan would be helpless in such a situation.

"I..."

"Aunt, Xunhuan is telling the truth!" Qiu Ruoxi suddenly said: "Say less, or the three of us will definitely be besieged by these people!"

Qiu Ruoxi knew a thing or two about the Papacy and had once participated in a mass ceremony, so she understood how important such a mass was to the believers of the Papacy.

In the hearts of these believers, the mass is sacred, inviolable, and purifying of sins!

So at this point, this place is practically a holy land, and one’s words and actions must be cautious; otherwise, it would be easy to stir up trouble!

"I’m done watching!" Qin Rumeng said angrily: "It’s just a mass, there’s..."

Before Qin Rumeng could finish, Ye Xunhuan hurriedly covered Qin Rumeng’s mouth. He didn’t dare let Qin Rumeng continue. With her daring nature, if she kept talking, big trouble would certainly ensue, so it was best if she didn’t speak at all.

Immediately, Ye Xunhuan pulled Qin Rumeng along with Qiu Ruoxi to leave the area quickly.

"You don’t want to watch, but can you stop talking nonsense?"

"You really want to get beaten up, huh!"

After getting Qin Rumeng out, Ye Xunhuan took a long, helpless breath and said: "Aunt, I swear, I will never come with you to this sort of occasion again!"

"Like I wanted to come! I only came as a courtesy, at Michelle’s invitation; you think I wanted to be here?" Qin Rumeng retorted.

"Fine, you don’t want to be here at all," Ye Xunhuan chuckled wryly, "Let’s go to the cafe next door and wait for her."

On the side, Qiu Ruoxi couldn’t help but chuckle, covering her mouth, at Qin Rumeng’s puffed-up demeanor.

Qin Rumeng was entirely like a child, confronting any dissatisfaction directly, regardless of the occasion or the other party.

Afterward, Ye Xunhuan took Qin Rumeng and Qiu Ruoxi to the nearby cafe.

Originally, Ye Xunhuan had no intention of watching the mass; he intended to use this opportunity to set up a meeting between Qin Rumeng and Huangfu Yueli.

Now that Qin Rumeng didn’t want to watch, it aligned perfectly with Ye Xunhuan’s plan.

After bringing Qin Rumeng and Qiu Ruoxi into the cafe, Ye Xunhuan, feeling an urgent need for the restroom, quickly sent a message to Chu Ji to inform them of their location.

Meanwhile, Huangfu Yueli was heading toward the Cathedral of St. Mary with Chu Ji.

Initially, Huangfu Yueli didn’t plan to bring Chu Ji, but couldn’t resist Chu Ji’s persistent pleading, and Chu Ji refused to give her Ye Xunhuan’s number, compelling Huangfu Yueli to bring Chu Ji along.

After receiving Ye Xunhuan’s message, Chu Ji immediately informed Huangfu Yueli, and the two headed straight for the cafe.

Perhaps due to Michelle holding the mass, or maybe because it was too early, there were barely any people in the cafe.

Chu Ji and Huangfu Yueli entered the cafe and immediately spotted Ye Xunhuan and the others.

At this moment, Qin Rumeng also saw Huangfu Yueli. Her previously cheerful face suddenly turned gloomy, with her eyes filled with hostility!
