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

　When Xingmo came out of the dungeon, only Aurora was waiting at the door. Chloe was said to have gone to prepare lunch, and told Xingmo to go directly to the restaurant in the palace when she was ready.

　Xingmo chatted with the puppeteer in the dungeon for three or four hours and learned a lot of information about the Red Moon Cult, including the distribution of their strongholds.

　Regarding the current situation, the most important piece of information is only one - the Red Moon Cult's strongholds in the Falu area have all been evacuated.

　All believers are heading to Messina to prepare for the invisible mist to open the gate to the kingdom of God on earth.

　This means...the person that the messenger Selina contacted was not a member of the Red Moon Cult.

　Considering that the contact is located in the Giant King's Court, it can only be a giant.

　A spy hidden in a giant... A spy hidden in the court of Fallou...

　Is the Invisible Mist some kind of high-end intelligence agency?

　""

　While thinking, Xingmo came to the end of the corridor.

　She pushed open the door of the restaurant and saw Aurora standing at the door as punishment.

　"What's wrong?" She put her hand on Aurora's shoulder.

　Aurora didn't need to answer, she knew the reason -

　——Dominic and Serena were sitting at the dining table, and Chloe was standing there, the atmosphere was tense.

　"I hate arguments at the table," Aurora muttered. "It's a waste of food."

　"Um..."

　Xing Mo glanced around the scene and found that there were quite a lot of people in the banquet hall.

　From some well-dressed upper-class celebrities to the New Party members, the banquet hall can be said to have a considerable presence.

　Hmm...why so many people?

　Xingmo and Aurora exchanged glances, and they both walked forward and came to Chloe's side.

　"What's wrong?" Xing Mo asked calmly.

　"Miss Chloe refused to let us have lunch with you," Dominic put on a smile, but met Xingmo's eyes.

　He seemed a little timid again, "You just think... we have bad intentions."

　"You don't have any?" Chloe raised her chin. "Look at you. You called all these wealthy locals here. Aren't you just trying to show them your relationship with Miss Shikoti? Huh? Aren't you trying to connect the Saint who broke the dragon with one blow with the New Party?"

　She spoke loudly, not at all concerned about the fact that this was a public place, nor about Dominic's face.

　"Chloe!" Dominic lowered his voice. "After the dragon's attack, the people need confidence! Give me some face!"

　"Ha! People?" Chloe laughed. "You call them people? The cost of repairing their castle in a year is equivalent to the annual wages of thousands of people! People don't live in the castle, and they don't come to the banquet hall on weekday mornings! Who here is the people? You?"

　"Hey you..."

　"Okay, Miss Chloe, there's no need to embarrass everyone."

　A hand was placed on Chloe's shoulder, and she turned around and met Xingmo's smiling eyes.

　"Perhaps everyone is simply concerned about Massena's safety, which is why they've taken time out of their busy schedules to come here and see what you call... the One-Strike Dragon Slayer?"

　Xingmo poured herself a glass of wine, turned around, and raised her glass slightly to the gaze of the audience.

　She put on an impeccable smile, and her emerald eyes sparkled with wisdom, leaving the guests present in a trance for a moment.

　It is normal to be in a trance, because Xingmo released a slight spiritual pressure:

　"In fact, the information Mr. Dominic wanted to tell you is correct. That is, Massena is currently safe. The Fire Dragon is no match for me, nor for the Holy Tree Cult."

　Xingmo's voice was ethereal and solemn. At this moment, the wine glass she raised did not seem like a container, but rather a flag carrying some kind of declaration.

　The flag planted on the soil of Fallu

　""

　Impressed by the grace and indifference of the saintly young lady, a squire applauded in admiration.

　Then, scattered applause came from all directions.

　"Your heroic deeds have been praised by newspapers and media. It is truly remarkable that you killed the dragon with such ease." A wealthy-looking man nodded.

　"Excuse me, did you really come to Fallu to cooperate with the New Party as Mr. Dominic said?" asked a man who looked like a reporter.

　Xingmo turned her head and saw a set-up steam camera.

　She still smiled, but shook her head slightly:

　"Do not."

　"I'm here for Miss Chloe. I'm working with the August royal family."

　As soon as these words were spoken, the entire banquet hall suddenly became quiet for a few seconds.

　Dominic's hands were tightly gripping the cup, as if he wanted to crush it.

　Why... we are all on the same boat... but can't we be more rational...

　Whether it's Chloe who's being shouted at by the crowd... or the Saint who's being cold and destructive...

　Is there no one who considers the overall situation?

　""

　Seeing that no one spoke, Xing Mo continued to speak:

　"After the fall of the Citadel, it was Chloe August who arrived first, provided us with support, and promised us resettlement for the refugees."

　"Belated kindness is worthless," Xingmo turned to look at Dominic, who was shaking with anger, "that's all."

　After saying this, she smiled and nodded to everyone in the banquet hall, then returned to Chloe's side and extended her hand.

　"Come on, Miss Chloe, it's time to eat."

　Looking at the hand that Xingmo extended to her, Chloe's eyes were a little dazed for a moment.

　She originally thought that Miss Jiedeti was going to sacrifice the legitimacy of their cooperation for the sake of the overall situation.

　In fact, she could understand it. After all, the New Party was still in control of the authorities. Giving them face would benefit both parties and would also be beneficial to the future settlement of the academic city.

　After all, no matter how famous Chloe August's surname is, her power is still limited, and the resources she can mobilize are definitely not as good as Dominic's.

　But Miss Jie Daiti had no intention of giving in.

　She obviously also knew that this banquet was a trap set by Dominic.

　But she had no intention of backing down.

　When was the last time you were trusted like this?

　Seeing Chloe in a daze, Xingmo tilted her head:

　"What are you waiting for?"

　"no problem."

　Chloe held Xingmo's hand and walked with her to the other end of the banquet hall.

　As if she had thought of something, Chloe turned back halfway and snapped her fingers at Dominic:

　"It's time to serve the food. Don't you want to eat together? Then let's eat together."

　She smiled slightly and turned away, leaving Dominic alone and furious.

　The lunch was indeed as sumptuous as Chloe had said.

　It's the presentation of the dishes that always makes Xingmo want to complain - a huge plate with a small piece of square-cut beef in the middle, sprinkled with Faroese mustard, while Bai Jie's plate has the sauce sprinkled into a fancy shape.

　It's like eating the sauce as if you were eating the meat!

　Where's the meat? In the middle! Just a small piece!

　As someone who prefers the flavors of summer, Xingmo can never resist this way of plating. She still thinks that large plates should be used to hold a large number of rich dishes, so people can eat meat and drink juice in big gulps.

　However, she does understand the significance of this kind of plating. Small portions of food are more

　The restaurant places emphasis on the concept of "tasting", which is to allow you to concentrate on experiencing the taste of different ingredients combined together.

　It's a rather avant-garde idea, but Aurora definitely won't like it.

　As expected, Aurora muttered to herself within seconds:

　"It's so little! I finished it in one bite. Can we have some big fish and meat?"

　Chloe smiled softly, turned her gaze to Xingmo, and showed gratitude:

　"Thank you, Miss Jiedeti, for choosing to trust me so much."

　"I will do what I say. And the fact that you choose the Academy, which is in danger, as your partner shows that you trust me as well."

　Xingmo raised her glass and clinked it with Chloe.

　If it were when they first met on the K3 train in Dongtian County, Xingmo definitely didn't think that she would be able to dine at the same table with this arrogant princess, after all, she looked so difficult to get along with.

　Destiny is a wonderful thing.

　Of course, the main reason is that after Xingmo shows his cards, even the most arrogant person has to keep them.

　There are not many demigods in the world.

　"Speaking of which, Dominic is also going with us to the Giant King's Court," Chloe said, getting to the point. "He said... he has something to discuss with the giants, and he can take us in."

　"It's the same without him. If he wants to follow, let him follow." Xing Mo muttered.

　Although she pretended not to care, Xingmo's heart was indeed filled with thoughts.

　Hmm... could the sudden trip to the Giant King's Court be related to that Serena?

　Just as she was thinking, a voice came, pulling Xingmo back to reality:

　"Ms. Shikoti."

　Xingmo looked up and saw Salina walking towards her with an elegant smile on her face.

　She was wearing a fiery red dress today, looking radiant, and her red hair reminded Xingmo of an old friend.

　Well...if Xingmo didn't know that she was essentially the Song of Death, she might have praised her appearance a little.

　"Hello, Miss Serena." Xingmo raised his glass with a smile.

　Serena walked to the table and saluted Xingmo:

　"Please forgive Dominic's abruptness. He just wanted to stabilize the situation, so he made this...disrespectful move."

　"I understand. I don't mind it." Xing Mo smiled faintly.

　"I'm here to deliver a message from Mr. Dominic," Serena said with a charming smile. "He said the train to the Royal Valley is ready. We've got a team of chefs from the palace, so you can enjoy the same sumptuous meals as today, even deep in the valley."

　"What do you think?" She raised her glass.

　Hearing this, Xingmo's eyes dimmed for a moment, but were quickly filled with a smile.

　She could never understand the good intentions of these vested interests - did she really think that everyone could be seduced by superior conditions?

　Are you short of some small things?

　"No need."

　Xingmo stood up, poured two glasses of wine, and walked to Serena with a smile.

　She handed one of the cups to Serena with an elegant smile on her face:

　"How about this? Convert the chefs' salaries into a fund and invest it in the reconstruction of the border town of Massena, with 80% of it going toward caring for the residents."

　"As for the prepared food, distribute it to the people in the city and tell them it's from the New Party. This will bring you a better reputation than currying favor with me."

　Xingmo smiled and looked directly at Serena, watching her eyes gradually become unfathomable, and then filled with smiles:

　"Ms. Shikoti...you are truly an upright person."

　"I hope we are all upright people," Xingmo's smile faded a little, "Come on, cheers?"

　"of course."

　Selina took the wine glass calmly and clinked glasses with Xingmo.

　She raised her head, drank the wine in the cup, and then put the cup on the table.

　"You are powerful and wise," she said, "but some things just don't need to change. Change is easy for one person, but for a country... it's a huge loss."
