The Holy Maiden’s blessing elevated your oath power to high-tier, but your flesh remains at low-tier—it naturally cannot sustain it.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Don’t worry. The oath power will nourish your body; with proper training, it will fully adapt within half a year, stabilizing at high-tier beginning level.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To be fair, this was already incredibly fast.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In just half a year, Herbert would reach a realm most people could never attain in a lifetime.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Like Blake—he was already considered exceptional among ordinary people for reaching high-tier beginning at forty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now Herbert would cover half of Blake’s lifetime journey in six months; if Blake knew, he’d probably cry himself to death.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Thank you, my lord. I understand.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though his body was weary, Herbert’s spirit was exhilarated—he felt no regret over the six-month wait.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But human physiques differ.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For Herbert, this pace was simply not fast enough.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just boosting physical strength?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I know this well!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Six months?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wait and see—I’ll finish this journey in one month. No, half a month!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Based on his previous test in the Lava Hell, if he could soak for three hours daily, he could raise his physical quality to high-tier beginning level within half a month.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Heh… hah…” Herbert tried to suppress his grin, but his lips refused to stay still.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This encounter with the Grand Archbishop brought Herbert immense benefits—truly a bounty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He understood the Grand Archbishop’s views on monster girls, gained his support, and no longer needed to live in fear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He learned the story of Holy Maiden Nenasha, deepening his understanding of Her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, he touched Nenasha’s true form, resolving the power issue that had long troubled him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How could he not be thrilled?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Thank you for your help, my lord.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Don’t thank me. Your character resonated with the Holy Maiden’s lingering consciousness—that’s why you received Her blessing.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Grand Archbishop shook his head, closed his eyes, and refocused his attention on the Desecrated Statue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Alright, child, you may return.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This exchange had delighted the Grand Archbishop—he had eliminated a hidden threat and confirmed the monastery would soon produce a power beyond legend.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“By the way, if you ever get the chance to leave the monastery, don’t hesitate—go out boldly.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The old man, eyes still closed, spoke softly: “The monastery is a sanctuary—but also a cage.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“A caged bird can never become an eagle. Your veins carry the blood of Silver Wings—you must not hide forever within this cage.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Huh?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Herbert’s brow twitched—he sensed the hidden meaning in the old man’s words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Is he telling me to go back to Wang Cheng and settle scores with those people?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“My lord, you mean… I understand.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Mm. Go.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn’t ask the stupid question: “Won’t this bring trouble to the monastery?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What kind of trouble could affect such a powerful being?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Herbert bowed deeply to the old man, then turned to leave the chapel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But as he reached for the door, he suddenly remembered something, turned back, and asked softly: “Grand Archbishop, what do you think of monster girls?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You asked me so many questions—now answer mine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Me?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The old man, still facing away, didn’t open his eyes, but a faint smirk curled his lips as he teased: “Child, have you ever wondered who brought all those monsters to the Discipline Hall?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Heh, I’m not as merciful as the Holy Maiden, nor do I trouble myself over such things.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Those who can be reformed, keep. Those who can’t be taught, destroy. That’s all.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A simple sentence—but Herbert’s brow twitched violently, sensing a heavy aura of slaughter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Good.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This elder wasn’t a soft-hearted man.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Besides, whether it was his imagination or not, as he glanced back toward the center of the chapel, he felt as if the Desecrated Statue had been hollowed out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As if only an empty shell remained.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn’t dwell on it, and silently withdrew from the chapel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After briefly recounting the conversation to the guard, Herbert returned to his room before nightfall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He sat quietly before his desk, staring at the hands of the mechanical clock—the hour had not yet passed midnight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Herbert frowned, silent for a long while, then finally whispered to himself:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Nenasha…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Are you there?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No answer came.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only the soft ticking of gears filled the quiet room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Click, click, click…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Herbert narrowed his eyes, silent—until a delighted little laugh sounded behind him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【“Hehe~”】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【“You found me again~”】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The demon god appeared unusually early, before nightfall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It meant Her power had recovered, and Her strength had grown even greater.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Herbert, who should have been joyful, did not smile. He did not turn around; instead, he stared at the flickering candle flame and asked softly:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“How should I address you? Holy Maiden Nenasha? Or Demon God Nenasha?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He posed the question to his ally.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So… are you still you?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And what answered him—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Was a mocking snort.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【“Pfft, hahahaha~”】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Today’s 5th update, 10,500 words, 2 extra updates added, monthly vote tally (5\u002F6).\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I originally only planned to push for 4 updates, just to prove I tried—but your overwhelming support moved me deeply.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I was humbled, even felt unworthy, so I pushed harder for the 5th update.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sanjiang is tough, and this time there are many top-tier authors—I knew the odds were slim.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But rest assured, even if I don’t win, I won’t give up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Honestly, my current results already surprise me—I’m grateful, not dissatisfied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The more you crave perfection, the less you can clean up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>We have tried our best; perhaps this time luck was just a little short, but next time, the time after that, we will surely succeed one day.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As long as I keep striving, I will succeed one day.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I love you.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I will keep moving forward!!!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of Chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",1195,"2026-06-20T12:31:06.198Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","13e75fcbc237963155e072abda1cde9d9cb7a71ebd312291114a40868c56fdb9","an-improper-monster-girl-s-transformation-diary-chapter-98","an-improper-monster-girl-s-transformation-diary-chapter-96",453,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fan-improper-monster-girl-s-transformation-diary-cover.jpg"]
