Chapter 120
Just a Lousy Pond, That’s All
In the blink of an eye, the weekend arrived. Henry was still lying in bed, sleeping in, when Lilith’s voice abruptly sounded by his ear.
“Young Master Henry, have you perhaps forgotten something?”
Hearing Lilith’s voice, Henry finally woke up.
He saw that Lilith, instead of her usual maid outfit, was dressed in a nun’s habit, with a cross pendant hanging on her chest.
Seeing Lilith dressed like this, Henry’s first thought was that she had some new roleplay fantasy.
He hurriedly raised a hand to stop her and said, “Wait! Isn’t it a bit inappropriate to do this kind of thing so early in the morning? It’s a rare day off, just let me rest, okay?”
Henry was genuinely a bit afraid of this woman in front of him.
Sometimes, in the middle of the night, she would sneak into his bed and drain him completely dry.
The key point was, she used some method he couldn’t figure out that left him unable to muster any strength.
Lilith was absolutely a master of using drugs!
Hearing Henry’s words, Lilith didn’t refute him, merely replying calmly, “Have you forgotten what you promised me so quickly? To be so young and already so forgetful… It seems I should help you remember.”
Lilith was already half-kneeling on the bed.
Seeing her movement, Henry immediately recalled the previous matter.
“Wait! I remember now! You said you had to work at the church today, right? You should have said so earlier; I’ll get changed right away!”
Finished speaking, Henry scrambled, half-rolling and half-crawling, to the wardrobe to change his clothes.
Watching Henry’s reaction, Lilith let out a soft “Tch,” then said, “I’ll head over first. You can come directly later.”
“Understood.”
After Henry responded, Lilith’s figure vanished from the spot.
Henry was just rather curious about what exactly Lilith did for work.
It seemed that besides taking care of him, she had other part-time jobs.
Now was a good chance to observe a day in Lilith’s life.
****
Afraid of causing a commotion, Henry chose to walk to the church.
Although the church’s location was quite remote, quite a few people were headed there.
Along the way, Henry encountered many people going to the church, saying they were attending mass.
It had to be said, the Church was truly one of the most faith-driven factions in this world.
It’s just that there were quite a few young people on the road, and a significant number of men too.
“Young people believe in this stuff too? I thought only old folks believed in it,” Henry couldn’t help but marvel at the Church’s propagation ability.
But as he walked, he overheard a conversation between two men.
“It’s the weekend again. I heard Sister Lilith will be there today. Haven’t seen her for a long time; many parishioners have been asking the Church to have Sister Lilith present too.”
“I’m one of them! You have to understand, everyone goes for Lilith. During mass, you simply can’t focus your mind on anything else.”
Hearing this, Henry frowned.
Damn, so they weren’t sincere at all; they were just going for the beauty?!
‘Lack of piety towards the Church is a sin!’
Henry couldn’t help but grumble internally, though he didn’t say anything out loud.
He just imagined Lilith looking coldly at these parishioners, and he could pretty much guess their… attributes.
Henry followed the crowd towards the church.
The church was already packed with people, and Henry easily spotted Lilith.
He saw Lilith standing next the priest, yawning and looking listless.
Meanwhile, the gazes of numerous men were fixed on her.
Seeing this, Henry quietly moved away from them, just in case their drool landed on him.
He didn’t know why Lilith had asked him to come to the church, so he could only wander boredly near the pond inside the church grounds.
Soon, however, a pair of hands snaked around Henry’s neck, while a pair of curves pressed against his back, feeling particularly ample.
“Young Master Henry, the Church just pays too well~”
Lilith had appeared behind Henry at some point.
Henry was stunned for a moment, then turned around in confusion to look at Lilith.
“How are you connected to the Church?”
“Hmm? Because I’ve always been a member of the Church.”
Lilith’s expression looked somewhat innocent, but this was the first Henry was hearing of it.
Wasn’t she Sherisa Noel’s person? How did she suddenly become a member of the Church?
Seeing Henry’s puzzled expression, Lilith finally explained.
“I grew up in the Church. It’s just that Miss Sherisa later spent a large sum of money to buy me out, which is why I became the young lady’s maid. Now that I’m back at the Church, it’s because they heard that after I left, the Church’s Faith Power dropped significantly, so they specially hired me back.”
Listening to her words, Henry forced a smile onto his face.
What the hell ‘Faith Power’—this was clearly Horny Power, wasn’t it?!
Just looking at those men’s eyes made Henry understand that Lilith was like the Church’s holy maiden, worshipped by the masses.
If they found out he was Lilith’s master, they’d probably want to tear him to pieces.
Thinking this, Henry’s mood suddenly turned peculiar.
Seeing Henry’s gaze, Lilith seemed to have thought of something.
She slowly leaned close to Henry’s ear and whispered softly, “Young Master, are you unhappy? But don’t worry, you’re the only one who has touched my body. No one else can manage that, you know~”
“Hey! Why bring that up all of a sudden? I didn’t even ask!”
Henry was somewhat annoyed. How was he so completely at Lilith’s mercy?
In this scene, Henry seemed like the incompetent husband whose wife had to go out to work.
The key point was, the wife had no intention of cheating whatsoever.
So didn’t that mean Henry was purely being kept by Lilith?!
Dammit!
How could I, Henry, possibly be the Soft Rice King!
“Then why did you call me here? It seems like there’s nothing for me to do, right?” Henry was somewhat puzzled. If it was something she could do alone, why did he need to be here?
But Lilith suddenly curved her lips into a smile, her tone becoming extremely seductive.
“I need you to help me with one thing.”
“Do what?”
“Be my plant. I need to inquire about a piece of information.”
Henry was momentarily stunned. In his impression, Lilith should be able to find out any information; why did she need his help this time?
Seeing Henry’s confused look, Lilith continued to explain.
“Among the crowd just now, a high-ranking member of the Church was mixed in. I heard they’re here to conduct an evaluation report. So the local church priest needs my help.”
Listening to Lilith’s words, Henry finally understood the whole story.
Wasn’t this just like an inspector coming down incognito to rate the local church?
And the local church, having languished after losing Lilith, specially invited her back to help.
But judging by Lilith’s character, the local church had probably been severely ripped off.
“Let me ask secretly, how much did you earn this time?”
“Not much. This pond area is ours now.”
Lilith pointed to the vast, seemingly endless pond behind them. Henry’s mouth fell open and refused to close.
Was he going to become a fishing enthusiast from now on?
