Chapter 75 (2/2)

Claire frowned, feeling a bit baffled. She felt like that female assassin seemed to be just passing by and had bumped into her, chatting with her while she was at it. This kind of feeling seemed like two acquaintances walking after eating their meal and just happened to meet each other, and then stopped to chat for a bit. Speechless, Claire actually felt like she was speechless. How could it be like that kind of analogy?

But at least she had obtained the object. It was time to call Ben to leave. Claire closed her eyes, feeling the contract connection between her and White Emperor and passed on the message.

“Chirp chirp!” White Emperor opened his eyes, reached out his two front paws, and then started to vigorously dig into Ben’s back, indicating that Ben could go now.

“I was passing by, but I landed here to just visit while I was at it. Naturally, we dragons treat the Temple of Light’s faithful followers well…” Ben was still talking eagerly. His saliva was even flying everywhere, making the people below him feel bitter, but they didn’t dare to speak out.

The group of people had all put on a jacket heedlessly, their brains stopping to ponder, all looking in a daze at the giant dragon who was crouching there, listening to him speak.

“Alright, I’ve rested enough. Faithful followers of the Temple of Light, till we meet again.” Ben had felt White Emperor digging into his back and understood that Claire had finished on her side. He laughed while saying goodbye to everyone, and then disappeared into the night.

Everybody didn’t come back to their senses until Ben’s figure disappeared. They felt like they were dreaming tonight, like everybody had dreamed a mystical dream at the same time, but it was real, definitely real.

The pope frowned, looking at the night. He kept on feeling like something was wrong, but couldn’t really put his finger on it.

Liuxue Qing’s gaze didn’t leave the black dragon. It was until the black dragon had flown away that strangely, she saw on the black dragon’s back a small, furry dot, but at the same time, she couldn’t see it clearly.

“Elder sister Qing, the dragon flew away.” Xuanxuan Leng said quietly while latched on Liuxue Qing’s neck, looking at the night.

“Yes. Then we’ll go back and rest.” Liuxue Qing smiled and said while carrying Xuanxuan Leng.

“Yes.” Xuanxuan Leng withdrew her gaze. An imperceptible trace of a smile flashed through her eyes.

Everybody scattered. The moment after the pope let out a breath and turned around, also preparing to return to his room and sleep, somebody actually came and reported, flustered.

The person who came had a pale face, frantically reporting, “Your holiness, something terrible has happened! The goddess of Light’s gift has disappeared!”

“What?!” The pope’s expression instantly changed. The goddess of Light’s gift disappeared?!

The moment Liuxue Qing heard it, her expression also changed. She now thought of the feeling she had that something was fishy when passing by the main hall just before. It turns out that something bad actually happened!

Somebody actually stole away the goddess of Light’s gift right under their noses!!!

Astonishment, anger, impatience, all the negative emotions almost made the pope lose his rationality.

“Go investigate immediately! We must get the goddess of Light’s gift back!” The pope’s face was already green. There was actually someone so audacious! It was all because their attention was attracted by the giant dragon who had suddenly appeared that they were taken advantage of. That’s right, dragon! The pope realized immediately. Why would a dragon appear here without any reason and then only say some nonsense?!

Perhaps? Thinking of this, the pope’s heart sunk. Perhaps that dragon was called over by the person who stole the goddess of Light’s gift? They could make a dragon come and do such a thing, so their strength would be…

The more the pope thought, the more unsettled he was. The goddess of Light’s gift wasn’t a decoration but something that could be used up. Since the person who had stolen the treasure had such strength, then perhaps it couldn’t be gotten back. Even if they found the person who had stolen the treasure, it would be too late then; the treasure was sure to be used up already!

Thinking of this, the pope looked decrepit. But in his heart, he was puzzled. Who one earth actually had such capabilities that they could send a dragon when all dragons were so proud? Since when did such a powerful person appear in the capital? Or when did such a powerful person come to the capital? He had never heard of it before.

The pope’s complexion turned from green to black, then from black to green. Nobody dared to approach and speak. And so the pope returned alone to the room, thinking who it could be along the way.

Currently, Claire and Ben, who had turned back into a human, secretly and silently went back to Camille’s home. Ben looked completely satisfied as he went back to sleep. He really felt really good tonight. Once he thought of so many humans looking at him, suffering from his words, his mood became really good.

Claire also stole away back to her room to rest, but just as she entered the room and closed the door, a lamp illuminated.

Sitting in the middle of the room as calm as water was Camille.
