Just by taking a glance, the Holy Maiden could tell whether the other person was human or demon. Because she had seen many people and had dealt with quite a few demons, she could be said to be very familiar with both races. Just like Wang Xiaole, after playing many games, as soon as he heard someone mention the name of a game, he could immediately determine whether it was suitable for all ages or not. Ultimately, it all came down to experience. The longer a person lived, the more they were exposed to different things. This sentiment was commonly referred to as "seen it all".

The Holy Maiden looked at the demon girl in front of her, and this created a strong sense of having lived for a long time, prompting her to speak up:

"Are you here to seek prayers?"

Lucia surveyed the church and judged its design taste in her mind before looking directly at the Holy Maiden with a positive gaze.

"Are you the trusted big sister here?"

"What kind of term is that for someone seeking psychological advice? You can think of me as a nun, or better yet, address me as 'shepherd' directly."

The doctrine of the "Main God Church" had always emphasized a certain point: the world was like a large sheepfold, filled with countless lost lambs (humans). And the holy servants responsible for guiding these "lambs" were essentially performing the work of a shepherd, so it was not inappropriate to call them "shepherds".

"Well then, I'll just call you as provided: Miss Shepherd. Are you in charge of providing psychological counseling to visitors?"

The Holy Maiden was amazed:

Does this girl genuinely understand the functions of the church? It feels like she is just playing around and deliberately causing trouble for others.

But the Holy Maiden didn't mind being troubled. In her previous role, she was just an ordinary nun and was already accustomed to listening. She invited Lucia to a seat reserved for worshipers, which was made of assembled mahogany chairs without any artificial paint, displaying the most essential colors. The religious books used during the ceremonies were placed within easy reach. After a moment of nostalgia, the Holy Maiden picked up the book and held it in front of her chest, flipping it open. Although her eyes scanned the pages, her gaze did not linger.

With just a few hundred thousand words, having recited it for so many years, she could recite it by heart. There was no need to continue searching on the pages. She could simply rely on her memory to narrate it.

"So, for economic issues, please say 'one,' for career issues, please say 'two,' and for relationship issues, please say 'three.'"

There was no need to ask; the scriptures must not have any mention of "classification." It was entirely the person's own terminology. The contents of the scriptures had obviously been orally "revised" by her.

"'Three!'"

Lucia declared that she came to seek advice on relationship issues, and the Holy Maiden assumed the same.

She agreed with a biased statement:

This seemingly immature little girl couldn't possibly have any other content in her mind that could be preserved for a long time.

Knowing that the other person came for relationship advice, it was only the completion of the first step. The next step was:

"For unrequited love, please say 'one,' for a third party intervention, please say 'two,' and for being affected by a third party, please say 'three.'"

"Uh... 'Three!'"

Isabella found herself being mistaken, as if she were the third party ruining someone else's relationship, even though she hadn't done anything wrong.

"Please state your purpose: for inquiries about separation fees, please say ‘one’, for relationship reconciliation, please say ‘two’, for hiring a hitman for silencing, please immediately turn left and head to the assassins' guild."

"'Two'!"

"Great, that means you haven't considered option three, and you don't have any unnecessary hostility. "

When many modern girls come here, they consciously add the "blessing" of "hoping that their ex-boyfriends will be infertile and have many descendants" in their prayers.

Even the Holy Maiden is reluctant to receive such troublesome believers, but luckily, the Lucia in front of her is a good girl overall.

"All the questions you want to ask have been asked, now let's begin the consultation."

After sorting out the direction, following the usual habit of dealing with such matters, the Holy Maiden offered her personal advice:

"The main mistake that allowed others to intervene in your relationship is that you neglected to nurture and communicate with each other in a timely manner."

Lucia was very humble and changed her previous "self-centric" attitude in discussing delicate emotional topics, nodding frequently to indicate her agreement.

"You're right, I was indeed too confident and didn't understand my dear and his psychology enough."

After acknowledging her own mistakes, Lucia stared at the Holy Maiden with a pleading look, seeking a mother's help like a girl facing heartbreak, silently longing for something.

"Could it be... you want me to give you advice?"

"Mmm mmm mmm mmm mmm mmm mmm mmm!"

Seeing Lucia acting like a "chick pecking at rice" in front of her, the Holy Maiden made a decision and raised her right index finger in the next moment.

Lucia seemed to have gained some enlightenment from it, and her dark eyes immediately brightened like the early morning sun, understanding something on her own:

"By showing the number one with your finger, you mean I should only focus on one person and filter out everyone else in my line of sight, right?"

"Well..."

The Holy Maiden choked on her unfinished words and swallowed them back into her stomach;

She felt too embarrassed to say it directly:

Just now, because she was thirsty, she expressed the hope that the girl could wait for her "one" moment?

As mentioned before:

Before Freya left, she drank everything she could drink nearby, leaving no drops of liquid behind;

At that time, the Holy Maiden was feeling a bit thirsty, thinking that she could find a cup of water to drink after the goddess left, but unexpectedly, another visitor came.

Although she could ask the two nuns upstairs to fetch water for her, the Holy Maiden thought it was unnecessary, as she was not used to being served by others.

She could only endure it...

Lucia was inspired by her imagination and gradually agreed with the "shepherd sister" in front of her, marveling at the wonders of the church!

Lucia understood the first step, which was to focus more attentively on Wang Xiaole and keep her gaze fixed on him.

What should be the next step?

She could guarantee that her gaze could always be concentrated on the person she loved, but she couldn't restrain Wang Xiaole;

For example, today, Wang Xiaole's participation in the "marriage martial arts competition" completely exceeded her expectations, leaving Lucia slightly caught off guard.

After careful consideration on how to restrict her lover's actions, Lucia suggested a bold idea:

"Why not take drastic measures and imprison my dear, so that he can only live in the basement from now on? This way, we won't have to worry about any outsiders intervening in our love."

"Please give up on that idea! Don't come up with such terrifying thoughts just five minutes after consulting me. It makes me feel like I've encouraged you."

Despite the extraordinary circumstances of plotting, Holy Maiden was still a kind-hearted girl who didn't mind helping others in their troubles. In her current state of kindness, she frowned upon any cruel actions and couldn't accept anything inhumane.

"Hey, can't we do that? I think it would be good for my dear. Only by completely isolating him from the outside world can we ensure the purity of our love."

"No, that's not right!"

Unable to bear it any longer, Holy Maiden couldn't accept not only the idea of forcing someone's heart, but also the idea itself. Her ideal method of reconciling a relationship was fundamentally different from the images constructed in Lucia's mind.

According to her suggestion, the other party should do as follows:

Act as if the unpleasant things never happened, show a completely different attitude in front of their loved one, be more gentle and submissive. If the other party adopts a rough attitude, then act in a way that cannot be pushed away, clinging to the man's body without any psychological burden, emulating koalas from a certain region on the continent. The necessary props are equally indispensable, with the most recommended ones being restraints and collars. Once equipped, there must be a conscious transformation into a loyal and obedient dog, surpassing anyone else in docility and cleverness.

"Just do it like this, from now on—"

"I would be so ashamed that I couldn't live in this world!"

Lucia didn't say anything else, but that one sentence was enough to indicate her attitude. Naturally, she completely disagreed.

"I don't think love should be so twisted. The status of both parties in love should tend towards equality."

"Is that so? But I believe that love means one person dominating the other, considering the other as their everything. If the other person does anything rude, it should be accepted as the deepest expression of love."

"That sounds like pure masochism."

"If it's for love, what does it matter what kind of person one becomes in the end?"

Holy Maiden didn't intend to corrupt an ignorant girl, but rather, that was genuinely how she thought, that was her view of love. It was a love that was blindly extreme, disregarding right and wrong, cause and effect...

To say something that didn't betray her conscience, Holy Maiden sincerely shared her experiences as a love expert with her potential future successor, earnestly hoping that the other person would listen.

Under the influence of such emotionally infectious words, Lucia, who had initially leaned towards a domineering stance, couldn't help but waver.

It wasn't right to force love unconditionally; it could easily backfire. Lucia understood this principle, which was why she hesitated.

Seizing this opportunity, the other party suppressed the last straw:

"Maybe you can conduct an experiment: take tonight as a chance to face your loved one in a different way, showing the submissive side as I mentioned. You will know the results once you try it yourself."

This is definitely a plan worth trying, and considering the sincerity in the other party's tone, Lucia finally agreed.

This is the key moment to highlight the contrast between cuteness and the demon lord. After leaving the church, he went to make his own preparations.

Before leaving, she had to leave a remark:

"If following what you've said still doesn't work, then I'll have to come early tomorrow and personally help you evacuate this place!"

This statement is different from the beginning and befits the identity of a demon lord.
