Chapter 115

The moment she drank the tea, Anliya fell into an illusion.

She saw herself wearing a clean white wedding dress, holding the lord's arm, walking into a church filled with flowers, and the benches behind were full of guests.

Foster father Robert, Boge, Lady Danielle, Lord Kalen... people offered applause of blessing one after another.

"Are you willing to marry Xia Mingyu, to live with him according to the holy laws of the gods, whether in sickness or in health, whether in prosperity or adversity, to love him, comfort him, respect him, protect him, until death separates you?"

The priest presiding over the wedding asked gently.

"I do!"

The moment Anliya blurted it out, the scene in front of her shattered like a mirror image, leaving only her staring blankly at the beautiful amber tea in the cup.

"It's different from what the lord said; what I saw wasn't past memories, but an illusion that never happened in reality."

Anliya, who had come to her senses, muttered, looking at the tea and falling into deep thought.

A moment later, the girl resisted the urge to take another sip, picked up the teacup, and poured all the tea into the washbasin in the room's bathroom.

Compared to being immersed in illusory hallucinations, she still preferred lying on the lord's chest, listening to his real heartbeat.

Moreover, she was already very, very satisfied with her current life!

Looking at the bunch of golden forget-me-nots in the vase on the bedside table, Anliya was so happy that her eyes curved into crescent shapes, and her hands unconsciously gestured something.

But soon, as if thinking of some trouble, the girl quite resentfully dug out a book from the bottom layer of the cabinet.

The title of the book was "The Boudoir Secrets of Madame Bovary"; this was secretly stuffed to her by Lady Danielle when she was at Black Wolf Castle.

The lady said she relied on the pleasure techniques taught in this book to firmly grasp Lord Kalen's heart in bed, and suggested she also learn a little to use when serving the lord in bed.

So, in order to grasp the lord's heart, Anliya could only temporarily suppress her shame to learn the techniques in this book; every time she saw those decadent intercourse illustrations, she would blush to the tips of her ears.

It's just that what she didn't expect was... the techniques in the book were almost all learned, but the lord hadn't summoned her to serve in bed even once.

"Sigh!" Anliya let out a long sigh, wondering where she was not liked by the lord?

Is she not beautiful enough... or does the lord like them small?

She looked down at the plumpness that was about to pop out from the neckline of her nightdress and sighed helplessly again.

Sleep, sleep, still have to get up early tomorrow to prepare breakfast for the lord.

The girl went to bed, covered herself with the quilt, and entered a dream with a sweet smile.

The next morning, in the dining room.

"You say you have finished digesting the magic potion and touched the bottleneck of the Morning Star Rank?"

Xia Mingyu, who had just had his napkin tied by Anliya and was about to take his knife and fork to hack the golden fried egg on the plate into pieces, looked at Boge in front of him in surprise.

"Your Highness, I can feel that my current physique is already close to the Transcendent limit, and there is an unknown power gestating in my body; I should only need to take a new magic potion to advance to Morning Star."

Boge said solemnly.

Tap, tap, tap.

Hearing this, Xia Mingyu couldn't help but fall into deep thought, his fingers tapping on the dining table unconsciously.

It seems it has only been two months since Boge advanced to Transcendent... Is this kid cheating?

Although the path of the Hunter is famous for its rapid progress, as long as you drink the magic potion and don't go crazy, you can advance by leaps and bounds, but this advancement speed is still too exaggerated!

It made him, someone who advanced to Morning Star through effort and sweat, feel a bit discouraged.

Click, click, click.

Xia Mingyu used his fork to stab the fried egg, swallowed it whole, and then chewed and swallowed quickly.

"Let's go, we're going to the Storm Church."

He pulled off his napkin and stood up suddenly.

The carriage with the fox pattern set off from Red Fox Castle, and after receiving the reverent gazes of countless passersby along the way, the carriage finally stopped in front of a gorgeous cathedral.

"Respected lord, may I ask what business brings you to the Storm Church?"

After catching a glimpse of the pattern on the carriage from afar, the church gatekeeper walked over with a full face of smiles.

"I want to see Bishop Lu En; just say that the person he pushed away during the honor ceremony last time has come."

Xia Mingyu thought for a moment and said.

"Yes, I will go to report immediately."

Although he didn't understand, the gatekeeper still went to report immediately without the slightest hesitation.

After all, the Martha family crest was engraved on the carriage!

Not long after, a middle-aged man with a slightly chubby build, wearing a priest's robe, ran out of the church in a panic.

"Respected Your... Lord Mingyu, I didn't expect you to condescend to visit me; it truly makes the church shine!"

Looking at the black-haired young man standing quietly at the door, Bishop Lu En's eyes lit up, and he said with a brilliant smile.

The gatekeeper on the side, who was puzzled as to why the bishop could run so fast and was chasing after him out of breath, heard this and was so shocked he stumbled and fell directly to the ground.

Didn't the bishop always teach him that all beings are equal before the statue of the god? How come such sycophantic words as "making the church shine" came out today...

"Please come in, please come in."

Ignoring the gatekeeper who was lying on the ground with a look of surprise, Bishop Lu En enthusiastically invited Xia Mingyu and his party into the church.

Reception hall.

It was spacious and solemn, with the ceiling composed of exquisite colored glass windows, and the sunlight passing through to cast mottled light and shadows.

"Bishop, I have come today with a request..."

"Your Highness, please feel free to say whatever you require; I swear to the God of Storm and Hunt, as long as it is not against the gods, I will definitely do everything in my power to help you."

Xia Mingyu was just about to speak when he saw Bishop Lu En serve tea diligently and answer without thinking.

Lu En thought with secret joy: Kalen, that deadpan face, relied on being a "dog" to make this lord, who can be called the embodiment of human reason, the godfather of his son, getting a Crescent Rank "Godson of the King" for nothing.

Now it was finally his turn to be a "dog"; he didn't ask for much, just hoping that in the future, when this lord returns to his kingdom of 1.4 billion citizens, he could let himself be the first priest to go to the Western Continent to preach.

"Bishop, this attendant of mine has reached the peak of the Transcendent Rank of Hunter and needs to take a new magic potion to advance to Master Hunter; I have come this time hoping to obtain the magic potion from you."

Xia Mingyu pointed to Boge and introduced him.

A Hunter at the peak of Transcendent?

Bishop Lu En carefully sized up the young man in front of him.

Hawk-like sharp eyes, a physique tempered through a hundred battles, and a dangerous momentum radiating from his whole body... just after a moment, Lu En could determine that the young man in front of him was indeed a quite excellent Hunter.

"Child, how old are you this year?" he squeezed out a smile and asked.

"... Seventeen."

Being called a child, Boge was clearly uncomfortable, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but twitch.

"To be able to reach this level on the path of hunting at seventeen, you are worthy of being His Highness's attendant!" Bishop Lu En sighed.

Just then, he suddenly thought of something, and a trace of surprise flashed across his brows.

"Your Highness, some time ago, Kalen asked for a bottle of Eagle Eye magic potion from me; could it be that your attendant took it?"

Although he knew this idea was absurd, Lu En couldn't help but ask.

"That is exactly the case." Xia Mingyu thought for a moment and nodded.

He had a good impression of this chubby bishop, so he didn't want to deceive the other party.

"Two months from Transcendent to Morning Star... this is truly incredible!"

At this, the bishop's entire voice began to tremble, because the talent of the young man in front of him was not an exaggeration to call him the Son of the God of Storm and Hunt.
