Four Split Personalities

Xia Lian, with her arms crossed, warned in a stern face, "Whether it’s me, under the Pope, or the other key figures, everyone has high hopes for you, especially considering my severe loss of power and Wang Yu’s deep coma. The Church of the Dawn needs more capable young members, and you are the one I have the highest hopes for."

Motan shook his head in resistance, speaking listlessly, "I appreciate the confidence, but I just want to live an easy life."

"You child, why don’t you have any ambition at all!"

"If I did, I probably would have been swayed by Mr. Gerbin to the Justice Sect by now. They offer really good terms."

"What terms? We can match them!"

"Archbishop rank, God’s Chosen benefits, a personal Advanced Stage Holy Knights squad..."

Xia Lian: "@#￥%&!"

Motan was startled, "Huh?"

"Sigh, never mind..."

After taking two deep breaths, Xia Lian revealed a refreshing and bright smile, "I’m planning to visit Knight Ger tomorrow."

"What do you mean by a visit?"

"Second-degree disability."

"..."

"Just kidding~"

Xia Lian shrugged and twisted her ear in vexation, "The Justice Sect always focuses on... ahem, war matters, so it’s not surprising that the little rascal made such an offer after seeing your capabilities. We really can’t offer the same."

Motan smiled cryptically, "It doesn’t matter; I’m not after that anyway."

"I’m warning you, kid..."

Xia Lian glared at Motan, teeth clenched, emphasizing each word, "If you don’t cooperate, that’s fine. But Wang Yu is a Saintess, and many young talents are eager to make her acquaintance. If you don’t cooperate, don’t blame me if any bad accidents happen due to a huge difference in status in the future."

"Alright, I give in."

"Eh?"

"So what do I need to do to cooperate?"

"Ah?"

"To put it simply, you’ve persuaded me."

Motan spread his hands with emptiness in his eyes and quipped, "Then?"

"Uh..."

It took a while for Xia Lian to respond, and then she chuckled awkwardly, "First off, we should pad your achievements a bit, then depending on the situation, arrange some manageable tasks for you, and cycle through this, progressively, until everyone knows you can hold your own."

Motan nodded expressionlessly, "Oh."

"If it had been before, those ’competitors’ you mentioned might have tried to trip you up a bit, but since Wang Yu has fallen into a coma..."

Xia Lian touched Yu Chen’s cheek, shrugging, "It shouldn’t be too troublesome now."

"Eh? Should I have not awakened then?"

Yu Chen mumbled in a conflicted tone.

"No, no matter what, it’s better for you to wake up sooner... Ha???"

Xia Lian was in the middle of speaking when she suddenly widened her eyes, staring intently at Yu Chen’s rather troubled little face, and let out a piercing shriek, "You’re awake!!!"

At the same time, Motan rushed over to Yu Chen, staring unblinkingly at the girl’s spirited eyes, and after a long look, he finally exhaled in relief, "I knew it wouldn’t take so long... How do you feel?"

"Too long in bed, I feel a bit stiff."

Yu Chen gave Motan a sweet smile, then sat up with some effort, clasping Xia Lian’s hands and sticking out her tongue cheekily, "I’m awake now, Sister Saintess."

Xia Lian scooped up the girl in an elated twirl, only setting her down after several spins, "You little rascal, when did you wake up?"

A blush crept onto Yu Chen’s face as she stepped back unevenly, hesitantly pointing her fingers together, "Just moved, but... um, my senses have been back for quite a while."

’Why didn’t you tell me earlier!’

Motan messaged in a flash.

’Hehe, you guys seemed seriously engaged in the chat, so I didn’t want to interrupt~(๑´ㅂ`๑)’

Yu Chen replied instantly.

"It’s too fast... Even with double God’s favor, it’s too fast... Hmm... I just don’t get it!"

Xia Lian scratched her head frantically, then suddenly turned to Motan and Yu Chen, saying firmly, "Anyway, I have to report to the Pope now. The two of you, do whatever you see fit during this time. Flirt here, or take a walk out, but do not leave the Central City area, and Wang Yu, you must be back by dinner time, got it?"

The two players looked at each other and nodded simultaneously.

"Good."

Xia Lian grinned and then stepped forward to give Yu Chen another big hug, enough to be a B-cup. "Anyway, I’m so relieved you’re alright. I’ll be leaving now~"

With that, she strode out of the prayer room.

Naturally, that left only Motan and Yu Chen in the room, and somehow, they were both silent for a moment...

After about two minutes, Motan broke the silence first, curling his index finger gently across the tip of his nose, "Um, long time no see..."

"Not really, we just chatted online a few days ago~"

Yu Chen looked at Motan with a beaming smile, batting her eyelids, "And even in the game, aren’t you always around... um, always able to see me, it’s just that I can’t see you."

Motan shrugged, then slumped down onto the carpet, his tone finally not as stiff as before, "So, when did you log on?"
