"Shouldn't you start preparing to welcome our precious guests then?"
The priestess's voice was like a gentle breeze, but it also carried a trace of malice that was hidden within.
"Make sure that nothing goes wrong. The Hell's Gate should be almost prepared. This borrowed knife... You can't lose it..."
"It shall be done as per the will of her holiness." The Priest who had approached, bowed deeply and retreated, leaving the priestess alone with her thoughts.
"It is not my wish. It is the wish of the Goddess," the Holy Priestess said, but her expressions looked slightly different. "It is all for the divine!"
There was a smirk on the corner of her lips, but no one was here to see it.
She stood up, her white robes flowing around her like waves. The statue of the goddess loomed above her, its expression unchanged by the centuries.
The Holy Priestess placed her hand on the Statue, looking above. "Isn't that right?"
The Western Continent was her domain, and she had made sure that it remained that way for an eternity to come.
In this place, she was the god. Her will was the word of the goddess that no one could question.
....
The next morning, Eren woke up early.
The moment he opened his eyes, he saw the peacefully sleeping face of Xiu Ying in front of him. Her bare body was covered by only a thin bedsheet.
Eren got out of the bed, noticing that Yelen was standing near the window, looking outside.
Eren got out of the bed while Yelen turned around, noticing his movements.
As she turned, she noticed Eren who was without any clothes, standing completely bare.
"Do you have to look here?" he asked as he noticed Yelen's gaze which was focused on him, occasionally going below his waist.
Eren placed both his arms on the wall, catching Yelen in between them.
He brought his lips closer to her ears, gently whispering, "It looked like you were enjoying watching us last night. How about you being at the receiving end of it tonight?"
His warm breath brushed against Yelen's ears, making her face turn red.
Although it was said that she was in love with a human, which led her to death, it was also true that she hadn't done anything with that human.
It was love that rose from the heart and not from physical needs. She hadn't even touched his hands until she died.
A current rushed through her body as Eren gently bit her earlobe. Yelen felt her body freeze in place, feeling something strange. She also felt something touching her lower abdomen.
Yelen was the Spirit Queen, but as her Guardian, he could touch her as if she was an ordinary human, even when she was in the human realm.
Eren also realized that he might have gone too far. But even he didn't expect to rise up when he was playing with her. Her sweet scent assaulted all his senses.
Yelen's face turned as red as a tomato, the dignity of the first Spirit Queen to be nowhere to find.
Stunned, she even lost control of her abilities and passed through the wooden walls, freeing herself from Eren's grasp.
She found herself outside the house, looking at the wooden wall. Her breathing was still rushed and her heart was beating fast.
She rubbed her earlobe that was still a little wet, being able to feel that warmth even here.
"Did I go a little too far?" Eren rubbed his forehead as he looked down.
He was planning to take a shower, but in this situation, he had to change his plan.
[Your luck has increased by one]
A notification appeared before him, but he didn't pay attention to it. He returned to the bed, approaching Xiu Ying who was still sleeping.
Yelen stood outside, hearing soft moans rise from within the house. Her heart was still beating fast, that feeling of touch still lingering in her mind.
Subconsciously, she flew forward and returned to the house, noticing Eren who was on top of Xiu Ying.
