Chapter 99 – Believe For You, Pray For You

Although everyone was crowded around Snow, they quickly noticed Bishop Jasmine’s arrival, so they respectfully opened up a path for Bishop Jasmine and Snow.

Jasmine quickly walked into the crowd and picked up Snow’s little hands like they were alone and personally lead her into the church.

Jasmine was the Bishop and Snow was the Saint of Sheryl City, even without mentioning their ranks, the two were very intimate, and was like the spitting image of an affectionate mother–daughter pair.

They were meeting again after a long separation, so naturally some affection between the two couldn’t be helped, Jasmine hated that she couldn’t completely find out everything that happened to her. Snow didn’t hide anything, she talked about everything that had happened when she met Great Sage Bellco.

But when she got to the end, she stopped talking.

“Sister Jasmine, there’s something I have to tell you.” Snow suddenly stopped walking, lowered her voice and seriously said, “I’m going to Winterless City in a couple of days.”

“Eh?” Hearing that, Jasmine’s heart dropped, and her voice trembled, “So that rumor was true? Y-you’re really transferring to the Winterless City diocese?”

“Un, the reason I took so long was because of that.”

She was taking care of related procedures for the past month, now that it was finished, the transfer would be transmitted down officially in a few days. At that time, she must leave Sheryl City and become the Saint of Winterless City, so she would have no choice but to part with Jasmine.

“Is that the Pope’s order? Or is it Bellco’s? If it was his, I might have some leeway, I…” Jasmine wasn’t willing to let her go and tried to stop Snow from leaving, but Snow’s response thoroughly broke her heart.

“No, it was my own decision.” Snow lowered her head, and spoke serenely, “Sister Jasmine, there’s a reason why I must go to Winterless City. So, sorry.”

“Reason, … but Snow, I don’t want you to leave!” Jasmine squatted down and embraced her petite body, tears suddenly bubbled up uncontrollably.

All this time, she has practically treated Snow as her real daughter, but now she suddenly says she wants to leave, how could she not be hurt?

With this, who knows when is the next time they can meet.

“Snow, what’s so good about Winterless City? Isn’t it better to stay here with me? I’ll take care of you for life!” She was already an adult, yet the way Jasmine spoke was like a child throwing a tantrum.

“No, I must find my brother, and I have to help him.” Snow gently patted the sobbing Jasmine and continued to say heartless words.

“Your brother?” Jasmine grabbed Snow’s shoulders and skeptically stared at her. It was like she wanted to find some clue from her expression, unfortunately, she was blind, so the window to her soul was closed, and Jasmine couldn’t grasp what she was thinking.

Although Jasmine already knew that Snow had a brother and that he was a magician that was studying at Loran Academy, Snow rarely mentioned him. All Jasmine knew about was the existence of a brother, but she didn’t know his name or what kind of person he was.

Now, for that brother, Snow abandoned her without hesitation and decided to head towards Winterless City alone.

Jasmine felt like she was betrayed.

Could her love for Snow not even compare to a brother that never showed his face and only existed within her memories?

No, perhaps not. Perhaps, it was all a one–sided love from her side, maybe Snow never cared about her.

Thinking of that, Jasmine could not hold back any longer, her sorrow turned into large drops of tears and surged out of her eyes, and she clung to Snow and painfully cried.

Drip, drip…

Feeling the scorching hot tears drip onto her cheeks, Snow abruptly laughed.

“Hehe.”

If a bystander heard that blood–chilling laugh, they probably would have shit themselves. Jasmine was hugging her while crying, yet she was happily laughing?

Was she a devil? Does her heart not ache?

Finally, Jasmine also noticed Snow’s abnormality, she widened her eyes and stared at Snow’s smile in disbelief, and became lifeless.

Why was Snow smiling?

“As expected… Snow, you actually hate me, right?”

Finally knowing the truth, Jasmine foolishly muttered to herself.

“You were lying to me all along, right, you actually just wanted to use me… I’m so foolish, I was running in circles because of your lies.”

Rather than saying she was rebuking or complaining, it was more like she was heartbroken and repenting.

“That’s right, you’re so outstanding, the youngest Saint in hundreds of years, and I’m just a gradually deteriorating old woman, how could I stay with you… I must have been really annoying, huh?”

As she spoke, she gradually ran out of strength in her hands, and it was like holding Snow and not letting her leave has become a very difficult thing.

Her tears continues to flow endlessly, finally Jasmine let go of her hands and calmly abandoned her unrealistic delusions.

She could not prevent Snow from leaving.

She also had no right to ask her to stay.

“Hehe, Sister Jasmine, you are indeed foolish.” Snow was still smiling, but now her smile had the warmth of the sun, “If you weren’t so foolish, how could you be my favorite Sister?”

“Eh?” Hearing that, Jasmine slowly blinked in a daze and doubted her ears.

“Don’t worry Sister Jasmine, although I have to go, but I won’t abandon you here.” Snow was like an adult, she patted Jasmine’s shoulder with a smile and comforted her with kind words.

No, she wasn’t comforting her, those resolute words sounded like a vow…

“Sister Jasmine, trust me, I’ll bring you to Winterless City soon and make you the archbishop!”

“What?” Jasmine was shocked, her legs were trembling and she almost fell on her butt.

What was in this girl’s head?

She was just a child but her words even made adults jolt, “I’ll make you the archbishop of Winterless City”, how could she fearlessly say something so impudent?

She wasn’t the Pope, neither was she a Great Sage, she was just a Saint, where would she have the power to transfer the Bishop of Sheryl City to serve as the Archbishop of Winterless City.

It was simply fantasy.

But it was strange, as long as its something Snow said, Jasmine would believe it 100%!

Whether it was a ridiculous lie or a funny joke, she would believe it all!

“Really? Can I really accompany you to Winterless City? That’s great! Snow, I…”

“So, Sister Jasmine, stop crying, it’s humiliating.” Snow couldn’t see, so she could only reach out with her little hands and feel around, she finally felt Jasmine’s face, so she smiled and tried to wipe her tears.

“Un, un…”

Feeling the warmth of her touch, Jasmine finally smiled, she took a couple of deep breaths and regained her composure.

“Right, Snow, I also have something to tell you!”

“What’s that?”

“A while ago… oh, right after you went to Cadina, a girl called Elona came looking for you, she even brought half of a golden coin and said it was keepsake that Lin Xiao gave you. You told me to keep an eye out for a girl like that… it should be her, right?”

“Un, where is she now?”

“You didn’t come back, so I could only take care of her temporarily… oh, here’s her keepsake.” Jasmine took out the coin and handed it over to Snow.

Snow took over the golden coin and carefully felt it over, then smiled and said: “Un, this is indeed brother’s keepsake, thank you Sister jasmine, let’s go see her!”

“Un.”

So Snow’s brother’s name is Lin Xiao, Jasmine secretly made note of that.

“Oh right, Snow, there’s something I have to tell you.” Jasmine pulled her hand, and suddenly lowered her voice, then whispered next to her ears, “According to my observations, that girl called Elona might be a demon! Also, it seems like she’s a red-eyed black cat!”

“Un, that’s right, she’s a demon.” Snow calmly answered.

“Eh? Is she really a demon? Is that alright?” Jasmine asked confusedly.

“Un, it doesn’t matter.” Snow’s response was as undisturbed as before.

“Ehhh?” Although it was an answer she anticipated, Jasmine was still apprehensive.

Because Snow especially told her, and because of her extreme trust in Snow, so even though she noticed Elona was a demon, she still took her in.

But Jasmine didn’t understand, as a Saint of the Holy Light Church, why did she have relations with demons?

What was going on?

Speaking of that, Jasmine felt that she had a lot of guts, she actually took in a demon at the church because of what Snow said. If it got out, she would have been killed a thousand times!

“Sigh, I’ll just take you to her…” She lead Snow by the hand and went to Elona in a hurry.

Jasmine explained that Elona wanted to go to Winterless City and she came to Snow for that, Snow just nodded like she already knew.

Jasmine was even more perplexed by her indifference.

They soon arrived at the side room where Elona was hiding.

At this time, Elona was leaning against the door crack, while carefully glancing outside and complaining about the foolish believers that were incessantly eulogizing. Seeing Sister Jasmine return, she was just about to wave but she suddenly noticed the blind girl who was next to her.

That little girl was very cute, with long blue hair and a sweet smile. She also had a soft and immature appearance which made people have a favorable impression of her.

But, Elona felt that she looked very familiar, like they met before.

Strange, how could there be someone she knows in the Holy Light Church?

As they got closer, not only did Elona get a good look at her, she also heard her sweet voice.

Just with her appearance, Elona couldn’t immediately tell, but after hearing her voice, Elona immediately realized.

“Good luck little kitty, you have to survive, I’ll pray for you.”

That time, at the outskirts of West Wind Town, a certain malicious blind witch used such a sweet voice and issued her death while smiling!

That damned Snow Witch!
