âSit down and face me! A bit closer!â Alex instructed again and waited until the high priestess had sat
down. This time, he did not ask if he could touch the area around her heart. Instead, he made his move
without a word and pressed it right away.
Gasp!
The high priestess jumped in shock. That was too direct. Even she would be flustered!
But soon, she knew that Alex did not deliberately molest her but he was helping her lift the curse. In her
eyes, Alex was guiding the cursed power from her body into his own.
âLord Saint, youâre so great!â
âEven if I have to sacrifice my life, itâll be difficult to express how moved I am right now.â
âFor a moment, I actually had a thought, if Lord Saint was trying to molest me, I really deserve to die a
thousand deaths. How could I tarnish the holy heart of the Lord Saint? If he grabbed that side of mine, I
should offer him the other side, right?!â
The high priestess was overwhelmed with self-reproach.
Alex let go of her five minutes later.
He had successfully condensed the ninth golden core as well.
âAlright, next!â
âLord Saint, donât you need to rest for a while?â the high priestess said anxiously. She could feel that
her curse had been lifted. It was simply amazing.
âNo need. Hurry up, go call the others to come in line,â Alex said. âItâd be best that there are no delays
in between. It will make me waste a great amount of Chi.â
Soon, all the people in the village came over. A rather long queue had formed at the buildingâs
entrance.
Alex got faster in dispelling the curse. He was slowest when dispelling Lenaâs curse previously, but he
got slightly faster when it was the high priestessâ turn. However, he got much faster later⦠It was
because realized that the initially condensed golden lake in his golden core now seemed to have split
into an estuary connected to the open sea.
A giant, great lake of golden light was condensed at the location of his sea of Chi.
The divine power no longer resided in the golden core.
The divine power inside the great lake of golden light that the nine golden cores condensed, forming a
vortex that generated a suction force that absorbed all curses and evil Chi in the Naga tribe members
into the golden lake.
His speed got much faster than before. Ten people, twenty people⦠Fifty people, one hundred
peopleâ¦
Alex did not remember the number of curses he lifted. Anyway, the divine power in his golden lake got
increasingly enormous. Now that he already had two hundred million points of divine power, he could
even use the Persephoneâs Folly Bridge twice.
However, Alex no longer planned to use her.
The high priestess walked in again from outside holding a plate of attractive red fruits. She looked at
Alex and said in a grateful yet distressed tone, âLord Saint, you should rest for a while! I beg you! You
canât exhaust yourself! Lord Saint, take a break and eat some fruits to recover your Chi.â
Alex looked at the plate of fruits. The next second, he was stunned!
âIs this real?â
Werenât those the heavenly law fruits for the concoction of the heavenly law pill?
This was a holy artifact that even the big shots from those sects would beat their brains out to get their
hands on. To his surprise, it seemed to be a tomato like ordinary snack in the high priestessâ mouth.
âListen, just⦠Just eat a few fruits!â
âIs this a fruit?â
âYouâre showing off your fortune to me, right?!â
