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

　Right here

　When the door opened:

　"Ah! Madam! What's the matter with you? Are you hurt?"

　What caught Serena's sight was a young face - a girl with a pigtail, dressed like a farm girl, with clear eyes, covering her mouth slightly.

　Her eyes were so clear that Serena forgot that she had intended to kill her the moment she opened the door.

　"...I..."

　"Come in! You must be freezing in the blizzard! We have a fireplace here!"

　The girl took two steps back and made way for Serena without hesitation.

　This made Serena a little overwhelmed for a moment, so much so that she stood at the door in a daze.

　The girl seemed to think that Serena was frozen, so she hurried out and helped her inside.

　A few minutes later, Serena sat by the fireplace, looking confused, warming herself by the fire.

　She stretched out her hand blankly, feeling the warmth of the fireplace, her mouth slightly open.

　"...Is this blood your blood?" The girl looked at Serena cautiously. She obviously noticed that Serena did not look seriously injured.

　"It's not my blood," Serena came back to her senses, "This blood belongs to... the prey."

　"Are you hunting alone?" The girl was slightly taken aback. "I see... There's so much blood... Oh my... Ahem, anyway, could you tell me your name?"

　"Salina."

　"Nice to meet you, Ms. Serena. My name is Julia!" The girl smiled happily. "Do you need a bath? You seemed hungry. Did your hunting go badly? I'm cooking right now. If you don't mind, you can eat with me. My cooking skills might be average...haha..."

　That's a lot to talk about... Serena turned woodenly towards the fireplace and glanced at the fire inside.

　She squeezed her hands gently, causing the vague shadow to disappear.

　"Okay," she whispered.

　So, Serena was inexplicably brought to a simply decorated bathroom. The moment she soaked in the hot water, she didn't even know what she was doing.

　Why... do I need to take a shower?

　Salina raised one arm from the water, and after washing away the blood, her arm looked like flawless white jade.

　For some reason, when she acted as a human, she felt her mind was anchored a lot, as if something was tying down her chaotic thoughts.

　Especially when talking to people.

　That girl... was really stupid, inviting me in like that.

　After my thoughts became clearer, I felt that she was indeed extraordinary... She was dressed simply, but revealed an air of being untainted by the world, and her words were very polite and generous.

　He doesn't look like a farmer's or a woodcutter's child.

　Then who would you be... Serena closed her eyes.

　After an unknown amount of time, she heard voices coming from outside.

　It seemed like someone had returned to the cabin and was talking to the girl named Julia.

　Judging from the voice, it's also a girl.

　Double the food...Salina muttered.

　But she had no intention of eating them. She suddenly felt curiosity welling up in her—not about the girl, but about herself.

　She was curious about why she gave up killing.

　So, Serena stood up from the bathtub, and with a wave of her hand, the red silk skirt covered her graceful body.

　She pushed the door open, walked out of the bathroom, and saw the girl sitting by the fireplace with Julia.

　The girl looked obviously taller than Julia, with a well-proportioned body and a strong look. She had short hair and extremely sharp eyes, and at first glance she looked quite capable.

　"Ms. Serena," the girl said, "Julia told me that you are a hunter who went into the mountains to hunt?"

　"It's just a little hobby, not a professional one," Serena smiled faintly, "Thank you for taking me in."

　"It's just a simple favor, ma'am," the girl said, extending her hand. "My name is Annabelle."

　Her eyes looked more like a hunter, but she still reached out her hand without any defense.

　Serena gently grasped the hand, and in an instant she had the urge to twist and tear it apart, but then she suppressed it forcefully.

　At this moment, Julia suddenly said:

　"I'm going to go cook first. Anna brought back some fresh wild boar meat, I need to prepare it!"

　"Go ahead." Annabelle smiled.

　In front of Serena, she gently kissed Julia's cheek, then calmly pointed a rocking chair to Serena:

　"Please take a seat, Miss Serena."

　The relationship between the two... seems unusual... Serena thought so and sat down on the chair.

　The fire in the fireplace is so cozy, if it were stained with blood... well, maybe it would be a beautiful sight.

　But Serena didn't want to spoil the fun so quickly.

　Seeing Annabella sitting down on another chair and rubbing her hands lightly, Serena said:

　"You two shouldn't be that simple, but rather more noble, right?"

　Hearing this, Annabelle was obviously stunned for a moment, and her eyes suddenly became much more alert:

　"How did you know?"

　How silly... You could have denied it... Serena smiled faintly:

　"Words and actions."

　She cast her eyes toward the fireplace and remained silent, waiting for Annabelle to start talking.

　Annabella didn't seem as capable as she looked. She hesitated for a moment before speaking.

　"Correct."

　"I

　Julia and I are both nobles, but her father's title is higher than mine. After the fall of the Flower King, our two families became closer, and that's when I met her."

　"It seems like your relationship is more than just acquaintance." Serena said casually.

　Use a question that is obviously more likely to arouse emotions to divert the girl's attention from the topic of "identity" that she is wary of, thereby building a sense of trust between the two.

　Serena is a witch who manipulates hearts.

　As expected, Annabelle's face turned slightly red, and she immediately lowered her head:

　"Ah... yes, I am her... um... what word should I use..."

　"Mate." Serena said.

　"Yeah, partner, um, or couple? They mean the same thing~"

　Annabelle giggled, her cheeks flushed red, her eyes reflecting the light of the fireplace.

　Seeing her clumsy appearance, Serena said again:

　"Is your relationship the reason you're here? Your family doesn't support it?"

　"That's right," Annabelle's smile faded. "That's true... After all, nobles value marriage, and as for girls... well... Dad would want me to find a boy. After all, girls can't carry on the family line, so..."

　"Anna! What are you talking about with Miss Serena?!"

　Julia came running over angrily. She was wearing an apron and was obviously waiting for the meal to finish. She wanted to join in the chat.

　I didn't expect to hear the words "carry on the family line".

　The two girls started playing around, pinching each other's cheeks and rubbing shoulders, which made Serena's mouth curl up slightly.

　Innocent, defenseless lambs, playing.

　The joy created by this scene was like honey. For a moment, Serena even forgot that she was escaping from pursuit. The firelight from the fireplace seemed to coat everything in front of her with a faint golden glow.

　For some unknown reason, Serena spoke:

　"If you abandon everything your family owns and live in seclusion in the mountains, won't you feel lost? Your life now shouldn't be as good as before, right? Have you ever considered compromising?"

　Julia and Annabelle were both slightly stunned after hearing this question. They looked at Serena, then at each other, and suddenly smiled at the same time.

　"Well... hehe... actually, we love our current life even more!"

　"Mostly... love...!" Annabelle held up a finger.

　"Ahh... so corny... Anna, you are not suitable for sweet talk..."

　"Are you shy? Hey..."

　The two little girls started fighting again, but when Serena heard their answer, the expression on her face suddenly froze.

　Is that so... I thought there must be other reasons, such as family persecution or family decline, so he couldn't go back.

　As a result...it was actually just because of feelings.

　The feelings that are not recognized by the world transcend all material factors and eventually turn into a fire, lighting the fireplace in the blizzard.

　Serena suddenly felt a slight stinging on her forehead, and she seemed to recall something...a memory that flashed by briefly like a spark.

　Seeing her suddenly covering her forehead, the two little girls stopped playing and came over with concern:

　"Ms. Serena, are you okay?" Julia asked.

　"I'm fine," Serena rubbed her temple, "I'm fine."

　She raised her head and looked the two girls straight in the eyes.

　Is it really just because of love?

　Serena raised her head, pursed her lips slightly, and then revealed a heartfelt smile:

　"Then, I wish you a happy marriage."

Chapter 330 Believers (Part 2) -4k- (Double Update in One)

　"Ms. Serena, are you leaving?"

　At the door of the cabin, Annabella and Julia held hands and watched Serena put on her high heels lightly.

　"Well, the snow has stopped, I should go."

　"It's still very cold outside. How about staying another day? It will be more lively with more people." Julia smiled warmly.

　"No." Serena refused calmly.

　"If you insist on leaving, please take this," Annabelle handed over a piece of white knitted fabric. "Annabelle knitted this with snow monster fur. It's very cold-resistant. This is a spare piece, perfect for you."

　Serena took the white braid and gently stroked the soft surface that faintly emanated spiritual energy.

　In fact, she was not afraid of the cold. Even if she walked naked in a blizzard, cold was a word that had nothing to do with her.

　She was born from the most blazing sea of ​​fire in the world, so how could she be afraid of the cold?

　But Serena gladly accepted the scarf and gently wrapped it around her neck twice.

　"Okay, thank you."

　She pushed open the door, and a world of ice and snow reflecting pale golden sunlight unfolded before her eyes, causing her to squint slightly.

　In the sunshine, Serena stretched, took two steps, and looked back:

　"If you plan to live in such a desolate place for a long time, it's best to take adequate protective measures. If attacked by supernatural creatures or cultists, you two may face considerable danger."

　Hearing this, Julia and Annabelle were slightly startled, and then laughed at the same time:

　"Alas, many wild supernatural beings in Falu have been eliminated by hunters. It must be safe here! After all, the person leading the hunt is a big shot in the palace. He said he wants to expand the supernatural essence inventory. Hmm... The initiator seems to be the wife of the leader of the new party...

　, what's it called?"

　"It seems to be Sha... I forgot." Annabella muttered.

　"Anyway, it's always a good idea to be safe," Serena smiled. "Goodbye, ladies."

　She gathered her scarf, turned, and stepped forward.

　Even as she walked further and further away, Serena could still feel the gazes behind her - two girls were standing at the door, watching her leave.
