Surviving in high-level martial arts and stacking Hextech

Chapter 26 Two Saintesses

The night passed quickly.

Jiang Feng didn't receive any signal from Zhang Ruanruan, so he had to finish his security work and meet up with Zhou Du and the others in front of the movie theater.

"I didn't expect it to go so smoothly last night; we didn't even see a trace of the law enforcement team."

As Zhou Du spoke, he took out the promised clean water resources and distributed them to everyone.

Those who received the resources gripped the bottles tightly, their fingertips turning white, and the gloom that had been suppressed on their faces for almost a lifetime vanished in that instant.

For them, they earned in just one night what would take a year to earn—how could that not be exciting?

"Isn't it better that nothing happened? I was so nervous last night, afraid that law enforcement officers would barge in," someone said with a sigh of relief.

Although their mission is only to transmit signals, if a conflict were to break out, it would be nothing more than a slap from someone else.

"After all, it was a saint's baptism ceremony; with such a commotion, who would have thought we'd all be safe and sound?"

After Zhou Du finished distributing the resources he had, he clapped his hands, interrupting the conversation, "Alright, stop chatting. If you have nothing else to do, go back and rest. Remember, don't say a word about what happened tonight."

Of course, those who have been "baptized" by the "starlight" can't do it even if they want to, they just don't know it yet.

"Yes, Manager Zhou!"

"Understood, Steward Zhou!"

Everyone agreed and left one after another, carrying their precious clean water.

Their attitude toward Zhou Du has changed drastically, because Zhou Du is rich and he really helps them make money!

Joining the Voodoo Cult was definitely the right decision!

Zhou Du smiled with satisfaction. Although this clean water resource is important outside, it's like free water to the Bone Priest.

Today, taking advantage of the saint's baptism ceremony, I managed to boost my own prestige.

After everyone left, Zhou Du noticed that Jiang Feng was still standing in the same spot.

"Aren't you leaving?" he asked, puzzled.

Jiang Feng smiled and stepped forward, taking out three bottles of purified water from his pocket and handing them over.

"Brother Zhou, thank you so much for taking care of me last night. If there's another opportunity like this in the future..."

He didn't finish his sentence, but judging from Zhou Du's expression, he already understood what he meant.

"Haha, no problem, no problem." Zhou Du didn't stand on ceremony, took the three bottles of purified water, and looked him up and down, saying, "You're still a high school student, right?"

Jiang Feng nodded. "Yes."

"Not bad." Zhou Du smiled approvingly. "To be honest, most of those who can join our sect are people who have experienced various hardships in their lives, or who have been crushed by something."

"Such people often have one thing in common: they lack a certain spirituality."

Jiang Feng understood; he had known about this ever since he first entered that movie theater.

There was no light in anyone's eyes.

Zhou Du's smile was meaningful. "It's rare for a high school student to have such keen insight. Not bad."

He paused, then his tone became more intimate, "If you're willing, you can work for me from now on. I've been following Lord Kugu since Tianyuan Star, and I'm considered one of his confidants."

Jiang Feng wanted this result, so he didn't refuse any longer. "Then thank you, Brother Zhou!"

Then, changing the subject, he pointed to the movie theater not far away and asked with some curiosity, "Brother Zhou, what about that saintess last night..."

He was somewhat worried about Zhang Ruanruan's situation.

Zhou Du raised an eyebrow and teased, "What, interested in the Holy Maiden?"

Jiang Feng's face flushed instantly. After hesitating for a moment, he said, "I saw the Holy Maiden last night. Although she was wearing a mask, I could tell just by looking at her eyes and jawline..."

Hahahaha.

Zhou Du laughed loudly and patted Jiang Feng's shoulder hard.

"Young man, it's all filtered through your mind. You only have your imagination because you know her noble status. Otherwise, why would you be attracted to a woman you've never even seen in real life?"

As if he had been told something, Jiang Feng's face turned red, and he stammered as if he wanted to explain something, but he couldn't say anything.

Of course, he was faking it.

He was afraid that Zhou Du would become suspicious if he didn't do this.

"I'm not teasing you anymore." Zhou Du's smile faded, and he said seriously, "I advise you to give up on that idea. What kind of status does the Holy Maiden have? How could someone like us possibly covet her?"

"However, speaking of which, this saintess is indeed remarkable. According to Lord Kugu, her baptism last night actually attracted the attention of Lord [Star Chant]. She truly has exceptional talent."

"Lord Xingyong?" Jiang Feng was taken aback by the unfamiliar term.

"Don't ask questions you shouldn't ask." Zhou Du waved his hand without offering any explanation.

The riddle-maker should die.

Zhou Du continued, "In that case, including this newly appointed Water Saintess, our sect will have two Saintesses in Lan City."

"Two people?"

Jiang Feng then remembered that Zhou Du had told him last night that Zhang Ruanruan was "one of the long-vacant saintess positions".

It seems the Voodoo sect has more than one holy woman.

"That's right." Zhou Du nodded and explained, "We preachers don't stay in one city for long. Generally speaking, it's no more than a month."

"A month from now we will go to Jiangcheng, then Suzhou. After we finish preaching in all three cities of Donglin, we will set off for the next planet. The believers left on the original planet will be under the jurisdiction of the Holy Maiden."

"A planet like Donglin, with three cities, will likely be managed jointly by the Water Saintess and the Shadow Saintess."

Jiang Feng understood.

This means that Zhou Du and his group are the personnel recruitment department of the Voodoo Cult. They travel to different planets to develop projects (powers). Once a project is completed, the Holy Maiden will go to various places to serve as the project leader.

"I see."

After silently memorizing this information and the term "Shadow Saintess," Jiang Feng thanked Zhou Du and left.

.........

10 minute later.

Zhou Du was standing to the side when the Bone Priest stepped out.

"You told him everything?" A dull, skeletal voice rang out in the sunlight.

"I have told him everything, sir." Zhou Du bowed respectfully. "Just as you said, he is indeed very interested in the matter of the Holy Maiden."

The Bone Priest had previously told him to keep an eye on this new high school student and to find an opportunity to tell him about the saintess.

But the reason remains unknown, the skeletons say nothing.

Thinking of this... Zhou Du's eyes narrowed slightly.

Could it be that this young man has some kind of relationship with that newly crowned Water Saintess?

The saintess's true identity was beyond the reach of someone of his level, so he was puzzled and confused.

"Hmm." The voice of the skeleton interrupted his thoughts, "Keep an eye on him, but don't alert him."

"Yes, sir."

........

Upon returning to his rented apartment, Jiang Feng immediately contacted Qin De.

After confirming that Zhang Ruanruan was safe and sound, he arranged to meet her at Liu Sujun's place the following evening.

After finishing his work report, he plopped down on the sofa.

He opened his phone and started looking for houses on an app.

He now has tens of thousands of Starsea Coins in his hands, and he also receives a monthly salary of 50,000 from the law enforcement team. It's time for him to move to a better place to live.

This old rental house not only has poor sound insulation, but also thin walls. He's afraid that if he were to practice martial arts even slightly, he might just tear the building down.

"Buzzing".

Just then, a chat message popped up at the top of the phone.

[Hello, Jiang Feng, are you free tonight?]

It is a forest deer.
