Luo Mi came to the door of the prayer room where Anos was and tried to reach his hand into the crack of the door.

The magic circle on the door lit up slightly, and Luo Mi felt as if his hand was stuck in a quagmire, making it difficult for him to move – but he could still move forward without triggering the alarm of the magic circle.

The feeling transmitted through the crack in the door was actually very strange. Unlike a real soft-bodied monster, Luo Mi could not twist his body at will, such as moving his eyes to his hands. It was more like a bubble, squeezing through narrow places in a short time.

There were many different sizes of prayer rooms in the cathedral. The one Anos was using now was more like a hostel. In addition to the cross, there was just a simple and clean bed and a bathroom.

After Luo Mi squeezed in through the crack in the door, he immediately lay down and crawled forward, quickly hiding behind the wooden platform where the cross was placed, and then carefully looked out.

A pair of clean and beautiful bare feet was reflected in his eyes.

The blond young man stood in the middle of the prayer room, having taken off the priest robe and his soft clothes underneath, wearing only a pair of loose pants that reached his knees. His entire upper body and the skin below his calves were exposed, revealing his smooth yet powerful muscle lines and well-defined abdominal muscles.

His messy light blond hair was still a little wet, sticking to his forehead, with water droplets hanging on some of the hair ends. There were also water marks on his body that had not been wiped clean, obviously he had just showered and washed his body.

Luo Mi also noticed that Anos had a thin black rope tied around his right ankle, with a light blue jade-like object hanging on it, which made his calves and arches look slender and white.

Apart from this, Anos had no other decorations on his body.

If it wasn’t the wrong occasion, Luo Mi might have whistled – Anos’s figure was the most perfect he had ever seen, neither too muscular nor too thin, combining the growth beauty of a teenager with the mature sexiness of an adult.

Luo Mi was a little jealous, and asked the system in his heart: “Is there any demon with such a good figure?”

[If he shows off his physical charm, that’s probably the direction of evolution as a succubus.]

Luo Mi couldn’t help but regret: “I should have chosen succubus earlier.”

Anos held a comb in one hand and a spray can in the other, and there seemed to be some hesitation in his beautiful blue eyes.

He was silent for a moment, and then finally seemed to make up his mind. A pure white holy light then emanated from his back.

Luo Mi quickly retracted his head, leaving only half of one of his eye exposed.

Although the system guessed that the blessing on Anos’ wings would not affect Luo Mi, an outsider, he would immediately retract his head if there was any problem.

A pair of pure white wings spread out behind Anos, with a wingspan of five or six meters, and they could not even be fully spread out in the prayer room which was not very spacious. Holy light filled the entire prayer room, and one could faintly hear the chanting of hymns.

Luo Mi blinked, felt his own state, and found that he did not feel any discomfort when looking at the wings with his own eyes. He was relieved and said to the system: “These wings have quite a lot of special effects.”

In contrast, Luo Mi’s own wings were pitch black, a bit like bat wings but without feathers and not very big. Compared with Anos’s, he was embarrassed to take them out.

[After all, he is the representative of the angels on earth.]

As the wings spread, a halo also appeared above Anos’ head, covering his naked upper body with a sacred halo that seemed to be able to cleanse the soul of an ordinary person.

Luo Mi felt that his desire for money was washed away in an instant, and only came to his senses when he saw the drooping feathers: “What do you think, if I find a camera to take a picture of Anos now, will the photo have the effect of removing the smell of money? Will giving it to Daisy and Peidi make them give up asking me for money?”

[Unfortunately, the host doesn’t have a camera.]

“Don’t you have a camera?”

[It costs 3 points to activate.]

Luo Mi had just completed a task and now had 35 points. He was tempted for a moment, but gave up: “Forget it, let’s make money first.”

The holy earthly angel Anos had sat down, sprayed some milky white foam on his wings, and then combed them patiently with a comb.

When he spread his wings just now, more than a dozen feathers fluttered down and were blown to the edge of the prayer room by the wind created by his wings. Some of them were also blown near Luo Mi.

Luo Mi stared at Anos and took cautious steps forward.

After he became translucent, the sound of his movements also decreased a lot. He was not sure if he could hide it from Anos. He just hoped that Anos would not look left and right while concentrating on cleaning his wings.

Anos turned sideways to Luo Mi, his perfect profile full of concentration and seriousness, the corners of his lips even curled up unconsciously, and it was obvious that cleaning the feathers made him very happy.

Luo Mi felt like he had been squirming for a year before he touched that feather.

When his fingertips touched the feather that Anos had dropped, he immediately said in his heart: “Put it away quickly!”

The feather suddenly disappeared and entered the system’s warehouse.

Luo Mi had previously used up points to open up system space in order to store other things, and now it was finally useful!

Anos seemed to be slightly aware of it and turned his head to look over here.

Before Anos turned his head, Luo Mi immediately jumped back behind the wooden platform and was almost seen.

Anos tilted his head and continued to clean his feathers without thinking too much.

Luo Mi breathed a sigh of relief, then clenched his fist excitedly: Keep up the good work!

….

Relying on the silent storage of the system and Luo Mi’s translucent body, he collected all six feathers that were blown to his side in one go. If he gave these feathers to Reinhardt, the money he could get would be enough to lend to Daisy and Peidi, but Luo Mi looked at the scattered feathers on the other side and felt reluctant to part with them.

Those were all golden coins!

Thinking that he might need to spend a lot of money in the future, Luo Mi decided to take another risk: “I’ll take two more… no, three and leave!”

Just at this moment Anos turned around to clean the other wing, and Luo Mi slipped out from behind the wooden platform, slowly moved to the other side, and stuck close to the wall.

He had already seen clearly that although it was far from this side, there was a vertical clothes rack in the middle with the clothes that Anos had taken off hanging on them, and he could hide behind it.

Sure enough, when Anos looked up in confusion, Luo Mi quickly hid behind the priest robe and pants that Anos had taken off, holding his breath quietly and motionlessly.

Luo Mi twitched his nose and said to the system: “I’ve actually wanted to ask for a long time, does Anos still wear perfume?”

Anos always had a light, clean scent on him, which smelt quite pleasant.

[Host, you really look like a pervert now.]

“It does have a fragrance, and it’s very special. I haven’t smelled it anywhere else. If you don’t believe me, try it.” Luo Mi thought for a moment, “I don’t usually see him burning incense.”

There was incense in Balk Sheen’s bedroom, Daisy Durr also wore perfume, and even the Archbishop had a cool pine scent on him, but these smells were different from Anos’s.

However, after hearing what the system said, Luo Mi also felt like a peeping weird uncle. He squatted down, crawled out from behind the clothes rack, and slowly crawled to the side of the pile of feathers.

There were seven or eight feathers in this pile. If he could get all of them, he would be rich.

“Hula!”

Just when Luo Mi’s fingers were about to touch the feathers, a gust of wind suddenly blew over from the other side, blowing the feathers up from the ground, and they floated in the air as if they had no weight.

Then the feathers lit up, and scattered into soft white spots of light, slowly disappearing in the air.

Luo Mi’s back stiffened and he turned back subconsciously.

Anos stood there, his blue eyes fixed on him accurately, his pretty face expressionless.

The wings behind him were gone, and in his hands, he still held a comb and a can of detergent.

Luo Mi struggled for a moment in his head over whether to run or stay, but in the end, reason overcame the desire to escape, and he honestly solidified his body and lowered his head obediently: “Sorry.”

Anos walked up to him and looked down at him with a frown: “What’s going on?”

Luo Mi raised his head, trying to appear innocent and naive: “I suddenly felt a change in my body just now, and then I tried it and found that I could become transparent, and then I came to find you.”

He was stating the facts, but made it sound as if he was looking for Anos to ask why his body became transparent.

As expected, Anos didn’t see through it. He looked Luo Mi up and down with a serious expression: “Succubus shouldn’t have this ability. I don’t know if Balk Sheen’s magic circle has had a bad influence on you. I’ll check you later – don’t worry, I will solve any problems.”

Hearing that Anos was still comforting him, Luo Mi felt guilty again and had to lower his head: “Thank you.”

“But this is another matter.” Anos suddenly changed the subject, “What were you doing just now?”

Luo Mi laughed dryly: “I just want to touch your feathers.”

“Do you think I’m deliberately lying to you by not letting you see my wings? If your demonic physique is affected by the blessing on the angel’s wings, I won’t be able to save you.”

Anos’ tone was unusually harsh and his expression was serious, and it was obvious that he was indeed a little angry.

But the detergent bubbles on his chin and shoulders broke the serious aura, and Luo Mi almost laughed out loud when he looked up.

Seeing that Luo Mi seemed to want to laugh, Anos became even angrier: “Lian, I’m not kidding you!”

Luo Mi quickly apologized, then coughed: “No, actually I saw your wings just now, but nothing happened.”

Anos was stunned for a moment.

Luo Mi looked at Anos sincerely: “If you don’t believe me, let it out again. I won’t joke with myself.”

Anos frowned and looked at Luo Mi for a long time, his expression changing from suspicion to hesitation. After Luo Mi’s repeated assurances, he reluctantly believed his words: “Just take it as it is, there is no need to prove it to me.”

“No, I have to prove it!” How could Luo Mi not see that Anos was just worried that he would commit suicide by looking at his wings, so he chose to give in and insisted on proving his innocence – and at the same time divert his attention from the feather theft.

After being annoyed for a long time, Anos finally sighed and said, “Okay, then you stand at the door. If you feel something is wrong, kneel down and pray to God immediately.”

After Luo Mi had made all safety preparations, he took a few steps back and slowly spread his pure white wings.

Luo Mi clapped his hands and praised from the bottom of his heart: “Very beautiful!”

Anos looked at him in surprise, his expression even showing a bit of bewilderment, and finally he slowly fell silent.

Luo Mi thought that everything would be fine after he cleared his suspicion, but seeing Anos’s expression, he thought he had messed up, so he asked cautiously, “Anos?”

Anos slowly stopped being silent, smiled again, and comforted him: “It’s nothing, I just remembered something else, it has nothing to do with you – you can face my wings directly, which proves that you are indeed the one chosen by God. I really didn’t expect it, it’s a huge surprise. Even His Holiness the Pope…”

Having said this, Anos paused and did not say the second half of the sentence.

But Luo Mi could guess what he wanted to say. After all, as the supreme leader of the huge Vatican, even if the Pope was a devout believer, he would definitely do some things behind the scenes. If he took one look at the angel’s wings, he would probably be burned.

In any case, Anos’ attention was indeed diverted away from the theft of feathers, and Luo Mi breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

All he had to do next was find a reason to slip away and go to Reinhardt to “sell the stolen goods.”

“But you can’t just go there if you take the risk secretly.” Anos suddenly frowned again, “You still have to accept the punishment if you do something wrong.”

The shirtless blond young man walked up to the little devil, lowered his head and looked at him seriously. Seeing that the other party showed an expression begging for forgiveness, he relaxed and said, “I will punish you to help me comb my feathers.”

Luo Mi was at a loss: “Ah?”

Anos used a comb to tap on the back with great effort: “Here, and this part… I can’t reach it by myself, come and help me.”
