Chapter 575: Some souls are born longing for redemption! (Seeking subscriptions)

Li Chen looked down at these two women from a high position.

Gwyneth was like a ripe peach, her curves fully revealed by the red dress; Marianne was like a carefully packaged gift, her high-collared long dress hiding every inch of skin, yet it only made one imagine more.

"Follow this Seat to the confession room."

The so-called confession room was, quite obviously, Li Chen's room.

Inside the confession room, the candlelight appeared golden under the reflection of the Holy Light.

Li Chen sat upright on the gilded chair; he deliberately let the silence last for a full three minutes, until he heard Marianne's breathing begin to turn chaotic.

"Chapter Three of the 'Penitence Sutra', kneel and recite."

Marianne immediately straightened her back, hands folded over her abdomen, and began to recite the scripture in standard Holy See language.

Her voice was clear and pleasant, every syllable carrying a pious tremor.

Gwyneth, however, leaned lazily to the side, her red hair falling onto the scripture.

Because she knew what the subsequent process was.

After all, she knew who the last person to confess was.

Not only did she stop being afraid, but she actually began to look forward to it.

"Posture." Li Chen tapped his scepter against the floor.

Gwyneth adjusted her kneeling posture reluctantly, the feeling like she was acting coquettishly, while Marianne had already spontaneously straightened up even more.

Li Chen was secretly satisfied; this was what he needed, a perfect model of the Holy See.

"Remove your outer garment."

Gwyneth nimbly unbuckled her corset, and the red dress slid off like flower petals.

Marianne's fingertips, however, stiffened at the collar; that high-collar design had seven hidden buttons.

"Need help?" Li Chen's voice carried unquestionable majesty.

"No... the subordinate will do it herself." Marianne took a deep breath and began to undo the buttons.

Her fingers trembled slightly, but her movements still maintained the elegance trained in Holy See etiquette classes.

When the last button was undone, the chiffon dress slid to the floor, revealing the saint-style ascetic robe underneath.

This made Li Chen somewhat delighted; this woman actually wore an ascetic robe under her regular clothes, no wonder she was wrapped so tightly.

The corset laces shimmered with the luster of mother-of-pearl in the candlelight, pulling her waist into an astonishing arc.

Li Chen pointed his scepter at the floor: "Use your body to feel the guidance of the Holy Light."

Marianne was stunned, but quickly lowered her eyelids: "As you command, My Lord."

She slowly leaned forward and knelt on the ground.

The ascetic robe pulled tight across her back, outlining the beautiful lines of her shoulder blades.

Gwyneth had long since knelt on the ground sensibly, her red hair sweeping across the carpet.

Marianne hesitated for a moment, then began to kneel piously on the ground.

Her posture was stiff yet dignified, as if she were performing some kind of sacred ritual.

Li Chen observed with interest; Gwyneth was simply attracting him, because she must know what he was going to do next—this was all "flirtation."

But Marianne was like a saint on an altar; this contrast made the Holy Light within him restless.

"Stop."

The scepter was held horizontally in front of Marianne; she looked up, her blue eyes full of confusion.

"You have distracting thoughts in your heart." Li Chen's voice suddenly carried divine power: "Questioning this Seat's punishment?"

Marianne trembled all over: "The subordinate dares not! I ask the Personal Guard Lord for guidance."

Li Chen knew she didn't understand and was still very conservative, so he summoned Lady Ophelia to come in. ===== CHAPTER 576 =====
