“Looks like you’ve had quite a haul this time.” Luo Di emerged from the doorway, tilting her head as she gazed at Chaoyang, who was half lying on the bed. “The Light of Life the entire Yeni Cathedral has dimmed a bit because of you.”

Chaoyang lifted his head, meeting her gaze without a word.

“What, I thought you’d be thrilled.” The angel suddenly felt uneasy. “Alright, I know it’s a good thing. Let’s pretend I didn’t say anything, okay?”

“I…” Chaoyang paused for a moment. “…I’m rich enough now.”

“Huh?” Luo Di never expected him to say something like that. “What do you mean ‘rich enough’?”

“You’re absolutely right. The amount of willpower we’ve harvested this time is indeed massive—far more than everything we’ve accumulated before combin He paused, as if calculating. “If we measure it in numbers, excluding Jeanne’s 400 points of wish power, the other nuns provided between 100 to 200 each. The total now stood at an impressive 15,000 points—three times the amount from the second round! And if we convert that into lifespan… well, it’s equivalent to an additional 600 days of life!” His voice grew sharper as he shifted focus.

But that wasn’t the main issue.

Now, silver-like white threads hovered above Yeni cathedral, and the nuns with these threads still occasionally provided one or two points of wish power. Based on what he had observed with Dunn and Zhu Di, this continuous supply of wish power was like a steady stream, giving him over a hundred extra points each day.

That was more than he used without activating his abilities.

And when your income is more than your expenses, you’re basically financially free.

But there was no need to explain all that. “Nothing… I just feel… really good and relaxed.”

“You look just like those addicts roaming on the streets of Paris,” Luo Di said with a sneer. “The moment you get what you want, you throw everything else aside and just enjoy the comfort for a while, basking in fleeting comfort.”

“Since when is enjoying life a crime?? You don’t know what it’s like to walk in my shoes,” Chaoyang said as he sat up quickly. “I used to live a day-to-day life without any guarantees…”

He stopped halfway through his sentence.

Because the person in front of him seemed to have always lived a tight-fisted life as well.

“Fine, congratulations.” Luo Di walked into the room and sat down next to him. “Now it’s time for you to fulfill your part of the contract.”

“So that’s why you’re here.”

“What else? You’re not in danger now.” The angel snorted softly. “Besides, what did the contract say? The reward I get is proportional to the wish power you receive. You wouldn’t go back on your word, would you?”

“The contract’s constraints are infinitely high. reneging would be inviting my own demise, wouldn’t it?” Chaoyang scoffed, then held out his hand. “Don’t keep draining endlessly. The wish power I share depends on my will, not the amount of blood. Also, you used up some wish power when you hijacked the train, so I’ll deduct that.”

“No problem.” Luo Di licked her lips, took his hand, and bit down.

A sharp pain shot from his wrist.

This is the real reckoning, she thought.

But this guy… why does he seem to be getting more and more proficient?

Studying her profile, Chaoyang’s heart suddenly skipped a beat. He activated his special vision—the transparent halo reappeared, enveloping their surroundings and turning everything into outlines. But Luo Di remained solid. He could see wish power flowing between them. Interestingly, within his body, it appeared white, but upon entering Luo Di’s body, it gradually turned green.

Still, he couldn’t see anything out of the ordinary.

This transparent area centered on him seemed to have no effect on the outside world. Neither people nor objects noticed any change in their surroundings, not even angels with their keen senses would notice any changes occurring nearby.

In a way, it reminded him of something he’d seen on Earth.

It was like when he activated his cyber eye to inspect nearby networks. In that state, things unrelated to networks would fade away, showing only as faint outlines. while accessible networks, on the other hand, would light up, looking like strings of glowing, resembling streams of flowing fluorescent code. When he focused on these codes, they would solidify into countless pathways and closed doors.

But there was a problem here in this world.There was no electricity.

Without electricity, of course, there could be no networks.

He surmised Perhaps that’s why everything has an outline but is empty inside.

Well, maybe not every ability has a use here. Since he hadn’t figured it out even after mulling it over for a few hours earlier, he wasn’t likely to get an answer now.

Just then, the door burst open.

“Lord Chao, I have something to discuss with you—” Zhu Di entered, then froze at the sight of Chaoyang and Luo Di close together. Her face instantly turned bright red. “S-sorry, I didn’t mean to disturb you! I’ll come back later!”

“Wait! It’s not what it looks like! We—”
Luo Di abruptly lifted her head, intending to clarify the situation.

Chaoyang hastily covered her mouth and whispered, “Blood… Wipe the blood clean first!”

Zhu Di sprinted back to her room, looking flustered. Dunn, who had been watching, found this odd. “Why did you come back so soon? Where’s Lord Chao?”

“I… I saw the lord… with Miss Demon…”

Seeing Zhu Di’s reddened face, Dunn immediately understood what had happened. “Actually, there’s nothing surprising about this… Miss Demon might not be human, but from a human’s perspective, she’s virtually flawless. His Excellency might not be an ordinary person, but he still has human emotions and desires. Given the Lord of Paradise’s principle of not giving up on any life, this can be seen as a selfless act.”

“Is that what happened…?” Zhu Di had also calmed down. “You’re right, I shouldn’t have been so surprised. But now I’m worried about something else…”

“What is it?”

“The Cathedral’s rooms can’t guarantee privacy. What if someone overhears us?” She thought for a moment. “No, we need to stand guard for Divine Messenger to make sure no one is listening in.”

“That…” Dunn looked hesitent.

“Moreover, this is part of the Divine Messenger’s redemption of Demons. As recorders, it’s our duty to transcribe these moments into writing.”

“Alright, you’re right.”

As they were getting ready to set off, they suddenly saw Chaoyang standing at the door.

“Lord Chao, what are you doing here? Please come in!” Dunn quickly put away his reporter’s notebook and gestured for him to enter.

After sitting down in the living room, Chaoyang first coughed twice, then looked at Zhu Di. “What you saw before was actually my healing process for the demon…”

“Indeed, I’ve figured it out. Please forgive my rudeness earlier,” Zhu Di said, bowing her head in apology.

Huh? That easy? Chaoyang was taken aback. He’d expected to need more explanation. “Oh, I see… Glad you understand now. By the way, you mentioned having something to discuss with me… What might that be?”

“Now that Destiny Gate Pharmaceutical is up and running, and Yeni Cathedral seems to be on track, we both appreciate what you’ve done for us and the others who’ve suffered,” Zhu Di said with a deep breath. “In the past, our countless prayers went unanswered, met with silence and no response. You brought the light we needed most.”

Dunn continued, “I used to doubt you because nobody has ever been willing to seek divine assistance at such minimal cost. But you proved me wrong, and horribly so. So from then on, Zhu Di and I made a promise. After helping you with a big task, we’d ask to join the Paradise as believers, spreading its glory.”

“Your Excellency, may we follow the Lord of Paradise?” Zhu Di asked.
