The defeated saint is also on the way to tame the evil god today

"..."

Xingmo took out a small whistle and blew it gently. Specks of golden light gathered in the air, forming a little golden sparrow.

The little sparrow landed on Xingmo's fingers, rubbed them gently, and looked very happy.

"Please." Xingmo said in a low voice.

The little sparrow nodded, flew up, turned twice in the air, and then crashed headfirst into the gate of Xingmo's house.

The surface of the door rippled with light rapidly, and colorful stars flowed across the door, forming the shape of a constellation.

Seeing the constellation, Aurora shrank her neck slightly and subconsciously took two steps back.

"Hmm?" Xingmo glanced at Aurora. "Why are you panicking?"

Aurora puffed up her cheeks angrily.

"Foolish mortal! Ignorance is bliss! That's the White Flame! The constellation that symbolizes destruction! Even if you show this to the Invisible Mist, it will go into hiding overnight!"

It seems to be true... Xingmo recalled the night of October Rain. When the giant eye in the sky looked at the white flame burning from her scepter... He was afraid.

But, that's an evil god, right? Isn't Aurora the Goddess of Harmony?

"You don't have to be so exaggerated. Miss Perlis is obviously very gentle, and she is your sister, right?"

Seeing Aurora get humiliated, Xingmo felt very happy:

"Could it be possible that she will attack you again? How is that possible?"

"How is it impossible, you..."

Aurora made a "beautiful" sound, and Xingmo suddenly saw a hint of fear in her eyes.

Could it be that she was really beaten by her sister?

"Oh, well, don't try to escape."

Xingmo finished speaking, grabbing the door handle with one hand and Aurora's wrist with the other.

Then, while Aurora was still unaware, she opened the door and walked in with Aurora.

"What are you doing! Little Saint! Do you believe that we——"

"Believe what?"

Light and shadows flickered, accompanied by the faint fragrance of flowers, and an ancient and elegant cafe appeared in front of the two.

Perlis was standing at the door, looking indifferently at Aurora who was shouting as she walked through the door.

"...Believe it or not, we..." Aurora's voice became much softer, "Rub my shoulders... I won't rub yours..."

"No need, you should just help Miss Xingmo rub it."

Perlis chuckled and turned to look at Xingmo:

"Good evening, Miss Xingmo."

"Good evening," Xing Mo greeted first, then his eyes fell on Miss Perlis's clothes, "Miss Perlis, what are you..."

At this time, Perlis was wearing an apron and holding a small bowl in her hand. She looked like she had just come out of the kitchen.

"Oh, I'll be responsible for cooking tonight," Perlis nodded, "I hope you don't mind my cooking skills."

"How could that be?" Xingmo scratched his head. "It's just... um... where is the maid?"

Normally, shouldn't the maid cook? Miss Perlis is more like that... elegant lady, so it's a bit surprising that she cooks herself.

"The maid has gone to reinforce the 'border,'" Perlis said calmly. "The 'Red Moon' will pass overhead tonight."

Hearing the word "Red Moon", Xing Mo trembled slightly again.

"Go sit down first," Perlis pointed to the side, "I'll call you when it's time for dinner."

"it is good."

Xingmo nodded, and walked into the cafe with Aurora, finding a seat by the window.

Outside the window, a sea of ​​pure white flowers swayed in the breeze. Everything seemed so beautiful and peaceful.

Ever since entering the cafe, Aurora has been timid, almost shrinking into the sofa.

Seeing this kitten being so...well-behaved, Xingmo really felt a little uncomfortable.

So, Xingmo decided to play with the cat.

She sneaked up to the frightened Aurora, then stretched out her finger and gently poked the kitten's face.

"Meow!"

The next second, Aurora shuddered and bit Xingmo's finger.

"Ouch," Xingmo smiled, "The kitten bit me."

"Don't scare me!" Aurora opened her mouth and looked around. "My sister is nearby..."

"You really don't have to be so exaggerated..." Xing Mo was speechless, "Could it be that... Miss Perlis did something to you?"

"As for... the matter of a sister disciplining her younger sister... please don't interfere!"

"But isn't it a bit exaggerated that my younger sister is so afraid of me?" Xing Mo tilted her head. "To be honest, I feel that Miss Perlis is very humane. Not only did she help me a lot, she also cooked for us."

Hearing this, Aurora's face turned even paler.

She pursed her lips, considered carefully, and then took a deep breath:

"Let me give you an example..."

"I'm all ears." Xing Mo became serious.

"What if a goddess suddenly descended upon the world, a giant mass, and wanted to destroy everything in the world? What would you do?" Aurora said.

A huge... lump? Xingmo's mouth twitched slightly. He couldn't fix it.

"You don't really think those irrational 'unspeakable things' have any good looks! They're all weird! Weird!" Aurora shouted.

"But aren't you and your sister both very beautiful?" Xing Mo tilted her head. "Why?"

Hearing the compliment on her beauty, Aurora's face lit up with a hint of pride:

"Because the Hafurgard are just so beautiful!"

So it’s a racial characteristic…Um…are gods divided into different races?

Xing Mo smiled helplessly and returned to the previous question:

"If the goddess wants to destroy the world, then I can't do anything. The power of the goddess is too strong. Maybe I won't be able to fight back. Then all that will be left is despair..."

"You actually accepted the Goddess's plan to destroy the world without any hindrance?!" Aurora pretended to be surprised.

"You've led me astray, little ancestor..." Xing Mo glanced at Aurora resentfully.

"Hehe~ After all, you are our family~"

"In short, when gods descend upon the world, nothing can stop them," Xing Mo shook her head. "As for what I should do... if I have the chance, I'll resist as much as possible."

Aurora was slightly startled when she heard the word "resistance".

She lowered her head and muttered:

"Resist... That's right, you didn't back down when you faced me..."

"After all, the duty of a 'bell guardian' is to protect everything behind him," Xing Mo said calmly, "even if it means being torn to pieces, he must complete his mission."

"Well..."

Aurora, who had originally planned to reveal a shocking secret...fell into a strange mood after Xingmo's answer.

She pinched her cheeks and muttered:

"...I didn't expect you and your sister to be so similar."

"Isn't Miss Perlis a god?" Xing Mo was curious, "Could it be that she..."

"She is different from us. She didn't have such a strong power at the beginning..."

Aurora whispered, her mind replaying everything she had seen in her sister's memories.

She saw her sister's joy, sorrow, and anger, and saw her sister's pain - the pain of being a mortal.

As long as one is a mortal, he or she will eventually have embarrassing moments. Those unbearable past events and regrets are woven into the bones of every mortal, forming one strong spine after another.

Aurora remembered seeing her sister lying in the mud and crying. She looked so miserable, like a flower that had been trampled on, completely unlike the elegant and calm look she had now.

But it was precisely because she knew her sister's past that when Aurora looked directly at her sister, she felt a surge of emotion from the depths of her soul...

...awe and fear.

"...Sister, you once killed a god." Aurora whispered.

For a moment, there was only silence in the cafe.

Xing Mo took a deep breath and exhaled slowly after a long time:

"...In a mortal body?"

Aurora swallowed, pursed her lips slightly, and narrowed her blood-red eyes.

"Actually, I'm not afraid of my sister. I just feel... I have a higher starting point than her... but no matter what I do, I can't catch up with her..."

Aurora raised her head and looked at Xingmo with a slightly pitiful look.

Those bloodshot eyes filled with tears:

“I just feel like I’m not doing it well enough.”

Xingmo gently held Aurora's small hand, her expression calm.

This kitten is usually heartless and doesn't seem to care about anything. It seems like everything is under its control.

But Xingmo always knew that she was secretly panicking.

She was worried, worried whether the flowers in the pot could be saved, and worried whether she would have to hide in her sister's shadow for the rest of her life.

She didn't want to enter the cafe... maybe that's why?

Aurora didn't want to rely on her sister, but without her sister's help, she couldn't defeat those ancient beings.

Whether it was the 'Garden of Redemption' or the 'Golden King', those beings that operated the world like a chessboard in units of hundreds of years were beyond Aurora's reach.

But so what?

"You told me you hated seeing those little flowers and plants kept in pots because you thought they should grow wild."

Xingmo leaned over and gently rubbed Aurora's head:

"But it takes time for flowers and grass to grow. If what you said is true, then your sister also grew up slowly in the same way."

"But we..."

"You are just a small tree," Xing Mo said seriously, "In my heart, you are a small tree."

Aurora seemed a little angry for a moment, but she just opened her mouth and said nothing.

She lowered her head slightly, looking a little lonely:

"So, are we useless?"

"Do not."

Xingmo shook her head, then gave Aurora a gentle smile:

“Even if you are just a small tree, you try your best to use your tiny crown to protect the flowers and grass at your feet from wind and rain.”

"So, you are the best little tree."

"..."

After hearing what Xing Mo said, Aurora's lips trembled slightly, as if she was about to cry.

Xing Mo opened her arms, hugged the sapling into her arms, and gently rubbed the back of its head:

"You've protected so many people and done a great job. Don't always feel that you're not doing enough. Give yourself more time."

Aurora buried her head in Xingmo's chest. This sentimental little girl usually suppressed a lot of emotions, and at this moment, she released them all.
