Chapter 166: Winter Cathedral

"What am I doing."

In a dim room at the Red Thorn Hotel, Yun Mu was held in Brenna's arms, lying on a soft bed.

After Brenna called her over, she had been pulled onto the bed by the other woman.

Nothing was said about what was going on, and nothing was done.

The other woman just held her like that and fell asleep, leaving a bewildered Yun Mu lying on the bed, struggling bitterly.

The sweet scent in Brenna's blood vessels constantly stimulated her nerves, making her already active mind even more agitated.

The time of night seemed to be stretched out long at this moment.

It was not that Yun Mu had not thought about breaking free from Brenna's embrace and finding something to do.

But whenever such a thought arose in her heart, her hands and feet were always bound by that trace of attachment that was hard to break free from.

This feeling was like a warm bed in winter, or the last short video before work time: "Forget it, let's just leave it like this."

Silently closing her eyes, Yun Mu opened the Game Panel to check the new game notification in her mind that appeared after she finished drawing the Mechanical Heart.

The next morning.

"Haa~"

"Good morning, Miss Yun."

Waking up from her sleep, Brenna opened her eyes, looked at Yun Mu who was lying beside her and had been awakened by the movement of her getting up, and said.

"Good morning, Brenna." Yun Mu, who had actually not slept all night, opened her eyes and looked at Brenna as she spoke.

This agonizing night had finally passed.

This feeling of having nothing to do but being unable to sleep made her recall her school days on Earth.

"There are clearly two beds here."

After Brenna was fully awake, she looked at the other woman and said.

"What does it matter?" Hearing her words, Brenna sat on the edge of the bed and chuckled, "Anyway, after you fall asleep, you will take the initiative to crawl into my bed."

"Isn't what you just said a bit ambiguous?" Yun Mu's expression was somewhat strange.

"No, that's not right." After a pause, she suddenly realized and said, "But I didn't fall asleep at all last night!"

"Is that so?" Brenna's pace toward the washroom paused, then she turned her head, looked at her playfully, and said, "Sorry, I was really too sleepy last night and forgot that you had rested before."

This person... she must have done it on purpose.

How could a Third-tier Expert Transcendental be so forgetful?

Yun Mu thought to herself in disdain, then got up and walked to the washroom with Brenna.

"However, you didn't get handsy last night, which really put my mind at ease," Brenna said suddenly while the two were washing up.

"What?" Yun Mu was slightly stunned.

"Oh, it's just, how should I put it..." Only then did Brenna realize what she had said.

Her expression became somewhat difficult to articulate, and she avoided Yun Mu's gaze, saying, "The things you did before sometimes made me think you were that kind of..."

"Uh..." Yun Mu's washing motion paused slightly, and she hurriedly explained, "I don't have those kinds of strange hobbies!"

"Those things before were just playing around," she said.

Heh, if she really had those kinds of strange hobbies, I'm afraid her journey of transmigration would have come to an end right there.

For some reason, she felt inexplicably guilty as she thought this.

But then again, if even ordinary novels can be adapted into anime, why... Danger! I can't keep thinking about this! Yun Mu seemed to see a Scarlet 【DANGER】 character appear above her head.

Hurriedly interrupting the stray thoughts in her mind, she quickened her washing, then together with Brenna, put on her clothes, tidied up her appearance, and left the Red Thorn Hotel.

The two did not choose to eat breakfast there because it required extra payment.

And for a high-end hotel like the Red Thorn Hotel, the amount spent on dining would inevitably be significant.

Adhering to the principle of saving where possible, the two found a cafe on the street that looked clean and tidy.

"After we finish breakfast, we are going to visit that Bishop Muse, right?" While waiting for the food to be served, Yun Mu looked at Brenna and asked. "That's right." Brenna nodded first, then added, "To be precise, I am going."

"You just need to wait for me outside."

Before Yun Mu could ask for the reason, she continued, "You have the power of the Bloodline in you; I'm afraid you might encounter some accidents if you enter the Winter City Cathedral."

"So you just need to wait for me outside." As she spoke, she raised her head and gave Yun Mu a reassuring smile.

"Alright."

Considering that this was Winter City, the capital of the Frost Kingdom, and Brenna's status.

She should not encounter any trouble entering the Winter City Cathedral.

Besides, even if she did encounter trouble, Yun Mu probably wouldn't be able to help much anyway.

She could only compromise.

During their conversation, the food the two had ordered was brought over.

"Hello, this is the meal you ordered."

A young man wearing a black and white waiter's uniform carried the tray and came to the side of the two.

"Thank you."

Thanking him subconsciously, Yun Mu looked at the tray in front of her.

The food she ordered was two slices of toast, two strips of bacon, and a fried egg.

If combined on one plate, it looked like a degraded version of bacon and eggs.

The bread, toasted to a golden brown by the fire, was spread with a thin layer of butter, smelling appetizing.

Brenna ordered something similar to her, only in terms of drinks, the other woman chose black tea instead of the fresh milk she had ordered.

Hmm... It's not that Yun Mu likes milk that much, it's just that she doesn't like drinking tea while eating.

Coffee is the same... Or rather, wouldn't it feel even stranger to drink coffee while eating? As for drinking water?

If there is fresh milk to choose from, why would she drink water? Hmm, fortunately, this body of hers is not lactose intolerant.

Yun Mu thought with a slight sense of relief in her heart.

She and Brenna quickly finished their breakfast and took a Steam Taxi, heading in the direction of the Winter Cathedral.

This time, neither the waiter at the café nor the driver of the Steam Taxi was able to recognize Brenna's identity as a princess.

It seems the driver the two of them met last night was just one of the few people capable of recognizing Brenna's identity?

Yun Mu thought, feeling somewhat uncertain.

"Alright, you just wait here." After getting off the taxi, Brenna waved to Yun Mu.

Across the street from where the two were, a church building covering a massive area stood there.

The highest dome of this church was roughly over three hundred and fifty meters tall, the whole structure appeared as a long rectangle similar to vertical bars, and it was built entirely from silver-gray stone.

On those large wall surfaces, apart from brightly colored stained glass, most were occupied by exquisite and magnificent wall carvings.

All sorts of ordinary citizens and some nobles hurried here early in the morning to conduct their daily early morning routine prayer.

I wonder if their voices can be heard by the Lady of the Dark Night.

Yun Mu leaned her back against the wall, watching the scene before her and thinking to herself.

PS: I tried some new writing methods in this chapter.

I feel much more comfortable.

I mean in terms of writing.

There is no longer that feeling of being stuck to death.

It really feels great.
