Why is the Holy Son So Delicate?

Chapter 19: Never have an affair with a female partner.

Pei Xia, who had tried to get the relationship between the protagonists back on track, undoubtedly failed. And sadly, he couldn’t even find the reason for his failure and ended up having to blame himself for stealing the male lead’s part.

If he hadn’t, then the relationship plot wouldn’t have changed, and then Lucifer wouldn’t be sitting next to him right now staring at him with an unkind look.

The upper perimeter of buildings was already faintly visible at the end of the flat road, and it would be less than half an hour before they reached the city of Abrulla.

The day was sunny and cloudless, and the breeze blew comfortably, so the curtains and windows of Lucifer’s carriage were all open, and Lucifer sat in the doorway, quietly admiring the view of the wilderness and Pei Xia.

As for the orc girl Tess, she was placed in the back of the carriage, yes, where once Alice had been placed!

Because this time the romantic plotline went wrong mostly because of Pei Xia, Pei Xia felt guilty and couldn’t help but pay more attention to Tess. Pei Xia then considered whether to make the carriage in the back more comfortable after entering the city, after all, judging from the current situation, it was likely that the future female partners who will have an affair with Lucifer will also have to live there.

Moreover, the female pairings who appeared in the back were of extremely high status, and the humble carriage was really not worthy of them.

“Pei Xia.”

Just as Pei Xia was thinking and looking back frequently, Lucifer called out his name. The dark-haired youth sitting on the high-headed horse gave a jolt and immediately turned back, reflexively saying.

“Yes, Lord Saint Son!”

Lucifer, who hadn’t said anything at all yet, was in a more subtle mood, his two eyes curved and the corners of his lips curled up, making himself smile very affectionately, “Pei Xia, you seem to be concerned about Miss Tess?”

Pei Xia: “……” All of a sudden, his whole body froze!

Pei Xia stammered in response, “No, I am not!”

Looking at him with such a weak heart, Lucifer narrowed his eyes and said, “Miss Tess has suffered a lot, and now I am going to get justice for her, but before that, I think she must be very fragile inside, Pei Xia, in this situation, it is better for strong men not to approach her casually.”

Pei Xia: “…… Hmm, understood!”

‘It’s over, Lucifer is jealous!’

Pei Xia stiffened his body and stared forward, proving to Lucifer by his actions that he definitely did not have a crush on his girl.

Judging from Lucifer’s reaction, it might be that Tess was the main reason why the two didn’t meet each other’s eyes…

Lucifer, a man who has always been sulky, never admitted to loving any woman in the original, but always said I love the God of Light and then had an affair with a girl. So, although he liked Tess, he would not show it if Tess did not like it.

What does it mean when he keeps his distance from Tess but is actually getting jealous? It meant that Pei Xia was in danger!

No, he had to be steady and connect these two while keeping his distance, lest Lucifer did something irrational out of jealousy of him.

Look at what he said – strong men. Pei Xia glanced sadly at the quiet, fair Lucifer, how the word ‘strong’ didn’t apply to him, except when he was purifying demons.

Pei Xia successfully concluded that Lucifer was jealous of his manhood!

Pei Xia’s heart was vaguely aggrieved, it’s not his fault that he’s so handsome and can use a sword, who knows how bitter a pure 0’s heart is?

……

In the evening, the sun was slanting down and a warm yellow glow enveloped the land. Before the city gates were closed, the Holy Son of the Church of the God of Light and his party entered the city of Abrulla without incident.

Considering that the incident with Tess was related to the Chapel and that the Sons were obliged to travel to the Chapel to welcome and take care of them and to inspect them for supplies, the group did not stop and went straight to the direction of the Chapel.

But things did not always go smoothly, for someone with a keen eye recognised the carriage as belonging to the Church of the Light, and those who were well-informed knew that the Son was coming to inspect it and stood in the street calling out to their friends to come and meet them.

In no time at all, the streets were filled with believers of the Church of the Light.

Pei Xia’s horses were squeezed so hard that he couldn’t move, not to mention the carriage.

The only saving grace was that in this age of inconvenient travel, most of the inhabitants within a city had never left the town they lived in their entire lives, so the number of Lucifer’s fanboys and fans here was far lower than in the imperial capital.

But even so, it was crowded to death.

Pei Xia was forced to shout at everyone to make way with his hard-working colleagues, but the enthusiastic believers seemed to not hear their voices, and excitedly crowded around Lucifer’s carriage.

Just as Pei Xia almost lost his voice, the curtain of the carriage behind him was lifted.

“Lord Saint Son, you are not allowed to go out!” The knight driving the carriage worriedly blocked.

But as a subordinate, one could never stop a capricious superior.

Lucifer mounted his horse straight away, the crowd cheered and their fiery gaze almost burned the beautiful Holy Son on the white horse.

“My lord! Why are you out here? It’s dangerous!” Hot sweat broke out on Pei Xia’s forehead as his horse was right beside Lucifer’s, the two of them side by side, moving forward as slowly as a snail.

Pie Xia was forced to hold his sheathed sword to block the believers’ attempts to reach out.

Lucifer gave him a soft look, “Pei Xia, it was you who suggested this, have you forgotten?”

Pesha, “Huh?”

Before he could react, he saw Lucifer fold his hands in front of his chest and nod slightly, revealing a pious look, “O devotees of the God of Light, please be quiet and listen to me.”

What is meant by the power of an idol? With a single word from Lucifer, everyone in the street mimicked his posture, pretending to listen reverently but secretly peeking at Lucifer.

Lucifer’s magnetic and clear voice enveloped everyone around him with the warm glow that emanated from his hands.

Due to this light magic, they forgot their tiredness and pain and felt only warmth and happiness.

Lucifer said, “God teaches us to restrain ourselves, to pray quietly and not to make a noise. As believers in God, all of us here are like me – I believe that if we all learn to be kind to those around us, then the world, will be full of light.”

He narrated quietly and faintly, and within a few moments, those who heard his voice guiltily began to stand in place and pray, with those in front of them offering to make way so that Lucifer and his party could leave.

“I have felt everyone’s devotion, and tonight I will pray for you all, so that the grace of light may be shed on everyone.” Lucifer closed his eyes.

Pie Xia reached out, helping to take the reins of his horse and move forward.

The people behind looked at Lucifer’s back with tears in their eyes, and they shouted in their hearts: Lord Holy Son, he is simply the perfect incarnation!

Finally, Lucifer, Pei Xia and the others arrived in front of the branch church. The bishops and priests of the branch church came out to greet him enthusiastically. Lucifer naturally dismounted and followed them in to inspect the work.

And Pei Xia, who was about to arrange for Tess to come down covertly, saw Lucifer look back at him with a vague look.

The alarm bell in my heart rang immediately!

Pei Xia looked solemn, turned his head quickly, and found a solution. He called four Paladins to join him and gathered around the carriage.

And so, the moment the cat-eared lady got out of the carriage, five tall paladins surrounded her tightly.

Tess: “……”

Like pieces of armour forming a tank, they covered Tess’s face perfectly and walked towards the back of the Holy Church, guided by Pei Xia, towards her abode.

Far away, Pei Xia grinned at Lucifer. Lucifer was probably very concerned about Miss Tess. Although he couldn’t see the expression on his face, he had been looking over here.

Don’t worry, ‘The male Protagonist’, Pei Xia, will never be ambiguous with your female partner!
