How Could the Villainous Young Master Be a Saintess?

”Virtue remaining: 254”

Vanessa looked at the ”Holy Feather Blessing” skill, which required 200 Virtue to unlock. It was one of the Holy Blessing type skills, while ”Holy Fire Blessing” only reduced magic consumption but cost 500 Virtue. ”Holy Feather Blessing” added many more benefits yet only cost 200 Virtue, revealing the true value of ”Holy Flame of All Gods.”

Without much hesitation, Vanessa unlocked ”Holy Feather Blessing.”

”Virtue decreased by 200”

”Current Virtue: 54”

Suddenly, she felt a rush of pure and sacred energy surge through her body.

She closed her eyes and tried summoning another Holy Blessing, the ”Flawless Holy Feather.”

In an instant, a golden light pierced the sky, and a pair of pure, flawless white wings unfurled from her back, resembling blooming lilies, scattering countless holy and radiant light particles.

Vanessa gazed in awe at the angelic wings that were much longer than her own body.

However, compared to Goddess Fasyllis’s six wings, she only had two.

With the Holy Wings now bestowed upon her, Vanessa felt the ability to soar through the sky, and a pure energy infused her body. The white wings continued to emit divine, brilliant light particles.

At night, surrounded by these radiant light particles, the girl with light cherry blossom-colored hair appeared as if blessed by the goddess, holy and noble.

This was truly angelic—no, she was an angel.

Noticing the celestial phenomenon she had caused, Vanessa realized the situation wasn’t good. She quickly retracted her pure white wings.

It would be disastrous if someone saw this. It wasn’t time yet, and she couldn’t change back!

Thus, she distanced herself from the city gates, thinking about where she could spend the night.

Did Camellia’s capital have any inns?

She certainly couldn’t sleep out in the wilderness tonight, could she??

Though she wasn’t afraid of being attacked by wild animals, such rough conditions were hard for her to accept.

If she were in her male form, she wouldn’t care where she slept, even in a water ditch for a night, but that wasn’t the case now.

She wasn’t Winnie anymore; she was Vanessa. The thought of sleeping on a dirty patch of grass tonight made her shudder, every hair on her body protesting.

She would rather roam around all night than sleep on the filthy mud trodden by countless others!

...This body was too delicate.

Vanessa had complained more than once about this.

And because of her appearance, she was far too conspicuous. Staying at an inn would surely attract attention and unnecessary trouble.

Though her angelic form was powerful, Vanessa was also aware of the many inconveniences of being female. As a male, she wouldn’t have to worry about these things, and no one would focus on a man.

Indeed, being male was more convenient.

Vanessa sighed and rubbed her forehead. She couldn’t go to an inn tonight, and she couldn’t sleep on the streets. So, she would have to walk around instead.

At this moment, in a luxurious inn in Camellia’s capital, a silver-haired girl drinking tea lifted her regal violet eyes and looked up at the sky with some surprise.

”...What is that?” Looking at the golden light piercing the sky, Aeciphysis’s face became somewhat puzzled.

There were more and more differences from the past life, and the future plot was becoming increasingly unpredictable.

But that golden light... It seemed somewhat familiar?

Aeciphysis was sure she hadn’t seen this exact phenomenon before, but she vaguely remembered seeing something similar in a description somewhere.

The next morning, a moon-blue-haired young man with dark bags under his eyes walked down the streets of Camellia’s capital.

It was none other than Winnie, who hadn’t slept a wink, wandering outside the city, unwilling to enter until the transformation was completed.

He let out a huge yawn. After staying up all night, he felt like he was about to transcend.

His body was tired, but his nerves were wide awake.

With nothing to do that night, he spent the time studying the two enchanted items he had acquired.

He cherished these two hard-earned enchanted items, especially the ”Frostbite Fang,” a high-quality magical weapon. Such a weapon of this level might have been beyond Winnie’s reach in his previous life.

Now, it had been tucked into the light blue ice crystal earring hanging from his right earlobe.

After wearing the earring, Winnie’s aura subtly changed. He went from a slightly delicate young man to someone more refined.

Okay, wearing an earring wasn’t exactly a thing for a male body, but considering the combat power difference between his two forms, Winnie decided to use the enchanted items while in his male form and hide them when transformed into an angel, in case anyone suspected his true identity.

So now, Winnie wore the ice crystal earring and a lightning ring that resembled sapphire, making him appear more noble.

Walking along, looking at the familiar streets and buildings ahead, Winnie realized where he had arrived.

He had been busy lately and hadn’t visited in a while.

Thus, Winnie entered the orphanage in the capital.

He wasn’t sure if it was just his imagination, but he felt that the atmosphere in the orphanage seemed much quieter than usual.

”It’s you.” The elderly director of the orphanage, with a clouded expression, froze when he saw Winnie.

Although his appearance was still recognizable, Winnie’s changes over the past while were hard to ignore. The freckles on his face were gone, his previously malnourished yellowish skin had improved significantly, and with the ice crystal earring, his appearance had skyrocketed, giving off a cool and jade-like vibe.

Now, Winnie truly had the appearance of a beautiful young man. If it weren’t for the male clothing, his delicate features and shoulder-length hair might make people think he was a girl.

”Sir, you look so much better recently.” The elderly director sincerely praised him.

Winnie nodded and glanced at the children playing in the orphanage. It seemed quieter than when he had visited before.

”Where’s that brat?” Whenever he came to the orphanage, that brat would always find him first and throw a ball at him.

”Do you mean Pete?” The elderly director sighed. ”That child... sigh.”

”What’s wrong with him?” Winnie sensed something was off.

”Sigh, nothing. He’s been feeling unwell recently and has been bedridden for a few days.” The director shook his head.

”Unwell? What kind of illness? Why didn’t you ask the church nuns to treat him?” Winnie asked.

”I did ask them, but the nuns are also helpless. They’ve never seen this kind of illness before. At least with their healing magic, they couldn’t help him.” The director spoke helplessly.

”Beyond that, the higher-ranking nuns and priests in the church... those are people we common folk can’t see,” the director lamented.

”Where is the boy? Can you take me to see him?” Winnie suddenly spoke up.

”Pete? That boy is still bedridden, hasn’t eaten, and has lost a lot of weight in just a few days... Alright, I’ll take you to see him.” The director sighed and led Winnie into the orphanage’s house.
