A saintess? She's just a bad woman.

By chance, he was rescued by a passing female knight and escaped from the clutches of the monster. From then on, he had the idea of ​​learning swordsmanship to change his life.

Before leaving, the female knight gave her a sword, taught her some swordsmanship for self-defense, and encouraged her not to be complacent and to dare to fight.

The female knight who rescued Ernest did not leave her name, and no one even knew what her name was. After Ernest ascended the throne, he commissioned a large statue and temple to commemorate her and bestowed upon her the title of "Knight of the Pioneers," meaning one of the pioneers of the empire.

Saint Karina had seen this scene several times. The actors of this generation looked more glamorous than many years ago, their costumes were more gorgeous, their makeup was exquisite, and the set was built to match the style of that era as much as possible.

Saint Karina suddenly became interested.

She pointed to the long queue at the ticket window and asked, "Would you like to see a theatrical performance on land? Theatrical performances are an integral part of land culture. I don't think you have a complete performance system yet, right?"

Hero only had a superficial understanding of this.

"If you like it... I have no objection. I also need to learn more about things on land; I'm interested in everything."

There were many words she was hearing for the first time today, words she had never heard of before. The culture of the land-based countries was also much richer and more diverse than she had imagined, quite different from the wild land described by the sea-dwelling natives.

Their historical records state that "more than 70% of the land was covered by desert, with collapsed ruins everywhere. Fires burned from night until sunrise, leaving black scorched earth everywhere. The corpses of monsters and humans were all turned into charcoal. The selfish land people fought each other endlessly, the sky was dyed gray-black by smoke, and the rivers, fields and ditches were stained red with blood. The air was filled with an inescapable stench of blood."

Other books describe land dwellers as humanoid monsters who ate raw meat and drank blood. They were extremely savage and behaved no differently from prehistoric humans.

Once they actually reached land, Hero realized how narrow-minded and ignorant the historians were, defining the vast world and fertile land above them with their own limited imaginations, resulting in a huge joke.

When the underwater delegation arrived on land, they were immediately and deeply impressed by what they saw. Towering buildings reaching into the clouds, magnificent palaces, orderly streets, and rows upon rows of shops…

The development of land has never stopped, but the underwater kingdoms, which have long been cut off from the land and have had almost no communication, are regressing more and more. In many fields, including technology and culture, they have been overtaken by the land.

Many years ago, the development levels of land and sea were comparable; no one could have imagined that the gap would be so vast now. The historian who had accompanied her turned pale with anger and went back that night to think about how to revise her newly published article and the newly published history book.

Heroine repeatedly praised Partington's architecture. In her eyes, the grand theater before her was like a magnificent palace, situated in the heart of the capital's secondary business district.

The theater has a transparent glass dome at the top, with sections above it that can be opened and closed to allow light to pass through and block out light. The theater's structure is similar to that of a royal palace, and they were designed by the same person, so it's understandable that it might seem familiar.

Saint Karina had no intention of squeezing in with the civilians partying at the ticket window to buy tickets, because during the previous resistance against the rampant invasion of the monster tide, she had met the theater's current director—a very talented and insightful young woman.

Whenever there was a new play, the director would ask someone to send a few tickets to St. Karina.

She happened to have brought her tickets with her when she went out today, so she showed them directly at the entrance, and the two entered the theater lobby without any trouble.

Hero showed great interest in the upcoming play, and watching a play in the theater with many others was an unprecedented experience. The two tickets corresponded to VIP seats in a separate stand, and staff in uniforms had prepared sofas and coffee tables in advance, brewed a pot of black tea for them, and also prepared fine refreshments.

Even if Saint Karina didn't say it, the staff knew that she was the famous Saint, the heroine who protected Partington, and the current emperor's favorite, a person who could not be neglected under any circumstances.

Having prepared the necessary items, the staff respectfully withdrew from the VIP box and closed the door. Santa Karina picked up one of the exquisitely made pastries and took a small bite.

"The Harris family's pastries still taste just as good; the taste hasn't changed over the years."

She fondly remembers the first time she ate it.

"Do you want some, Hero?"

Saint Karina looked at Hero and picked up a piece of Harris's ice cream.

It was about to be thrown into Hero's open mouth, as he let out an "Ah~" sound.

"Hmm...it tastes good."

Making chewing sounds and feeling the ice cream melt in her mouth, Hero was in a good mood.

It's often said that you should eat ice cream when you have a headache or feel down, and Hello thinks that's true.

Would you like another piece?

Seeing that feeding heroin was like feeding a hamster, Saint Karina had the idea of ​​getting another piece.

Sometimes, the joy of eating lies not only in enjoying it alone, but also in sharing it with others.

"Um……"

Hero nodded slightly and chose to have another piece.

This time, she not only ate ice cream, but also wrapped a little snake around Saint Karina's finger.

When the other person pulled out again, it was already wet.

There's no problem with that; the wetness is from the melted ice cream, which, due to its high sugar content, has stuck to Santa Karina's fingers.

As the first theatrical performance, "The Founding Emperor," concluded, the second performance began.

It is "The Female General" which is in line with the style of the Lorian Empire and has a very high proportion of lesbian scenes.

The story takes place in a country called Da Yan, where, unlike the Lorian Empire where a female emperor reigns, the emperors are usually male.

"The Female Imperial Envoy" is a highly legendary period drama. Sun Pingxia and Zhou Yuannu fell in love from childhood. Before they were born, the parents of the Sun and Zhou families arranged their engagement. Regardless of whether the two families had a son or a daughter in the future, they would be engaged and get married in the future.

At first, seeing that both families had daughters, he had no intention of breaking off the engagement. Instead, he let the two childhood sweethearts be together on their own.

Later, the Sun family declined, and Sun Pingxia's mother also passed away.

As a result, the Zhou family's attitude began to change. The Zhou family elders, being materialistic and prejudiced against the poor, actually forced Zhou Yuan to break off the engagement.

Left with no other choice, Zhou Yuan, the daughter of the Zhou family, chose filial piety and her status as a wealthy heiress over love and a life of wandering the world.

Therefore, Sun Pingxia was forced to disguise herself as a man and go to the capital to find her brother Sun Shaoying. She also used a fake name, taking the exam under her brother Sun Shaoying's name.

Unexpectedly, he became the top scholar in the imperial examination and was chosen as the emperor's son-in-law.

On their wedding night, Sun Pingxia confessed his true feelings to the princess. It turned out the princess was also gay, and instead grew to like the young woman from the Sun family even more, insisting she become her husband and even going so far as to plead with the emperor.

At first, the emperor was naturally furious. He wanted to punish Sun Pingxia for deceiving the emperor, cut off the head of the newly appointed top scholar's son-in-law, and bring disaster upon his entire family.

However, the emperor of the Great Yan Kingdom happened to be a doting father. So, under the princess's constant coaxing and pleading, the saying "a king's word is not to be taken lightly" became just a joke and not to be taken seriously.

Therefore, the emperor, out of his doting affection for his daughter, had no choice but to pardon Sun Pingxia's crime of deceiving the emperor, and ordered Sun Pingxia to disguise herself as a man, continue to use her brother's name and the title of top scholar, and marry the princess.

That day, on Shili Hongjie Street, the wedding was held in an extremely lavish manner.

On their wedding night, the princess and her consort stole each other's virginity. From then on, in the court, the princess was the princess, and the consort was the consort. At home, the princess was the crown prince, and the consort was the crown princess. This became a legendary tale.

"You humans are really something."

Hero watched intently.

"This is a fantastic shot."

"As long as you like it."

She used to love the theater, but now she only revisits it for the first time, and her interest has waned considerably.

She was simply keeping Hero company and enjoying the date.

The content is vivid and engaging, but each script is short, so a third scene will be arranged.

However, Santa Karina really had no interest in watching the third match; she preferred to be close to Hero.

"Would you like to go somewhere else for a stroll?"

"No... I want to stay here."

"But I'm getting a little bored just sitting here. I've seen all of these before, why don't we do something more interesting?"

"What do you want to do?"

Hero looked at Saint Karina with suspicion.

She didn't know what the other person was thinking, but she was willing to try her best to satisfy her.

"Let me give you a massage. Watching a play while enjoying yourself is a very comfortable thing."

"Okay, then press whatever you want."

Heroo inadvertently uttered some vulgar and offensive words.

Then, she paid the price for this casualness. One hand, following her feminine advantage, descended and explored into the indescribable.

Then, with a gentle pinch and knead, Saint Karina began her hand exercise, massaging Hero.

During this time, with Hero blushing and unable to bear the social death, the third theatrical performance took place.

Similarly, the very beginning of the Yan Kingdom's drama, "The Oath of the Peach Garden," is a story about the three sworn brothers.

The Oath of the Peach Garden is the first story in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms". When people mention Liu Bei, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, they always think of the peach garden behind Zhang Fei's manor in Zhuojun, where the peaches were in full bloom, and they prepared a black ox and a white horse to offer sacrifices to heaven and earth.

He burned incense and bowed twice, swearing: "I, Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei, though of different surnames, have become sworn brothers. We will work together with one heart to rescue the distressed and help the needy; to serve the country above and bring peace to the people below. We do not seek to be born on the same day, month, and year, but only wish to die on the same day, month, and year. Heaven and Earth bear witness to this heart; may those who betray this oath and forget this kindness be condemned by both Heaven and man!" After swearing the oath, he addressed Liu Bei as the elder brother, Guan Yu as the second, and Zhang Fei as the younger brother.

People passed this story on and on, and each time someone imitated it by burning incense and swearing brotherhood.

However, this Guan Yu was a woman, and a beautiful one at that, with long, straight black hair and ample breasts. She wielded the Green Dragon Crescent Blade, looking incredibly imposing.

This Zhang Fei was also a woman, a little girl with pink hair, yet she possessed superhuman strength and boundless power. Axes and hammers that two adults couldn't lift were wielded by her like toys.

That Liu Bei was also a woman. She looked like a wealthy young lady, but she was very healthy, with muscles hidden in her physique.

It's the kind of muscle you get from working out, not the kind of bulky, wide-shouldered physique.

At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the government was corrupt, and coupled with years of famine, the people lived in great hardship.

Liu Bei, eager to save the people, and Zhang Fei and Guan Yu, willing to join him in his endeavors, found themselves united in purpose and chose the peach orchard behind Zhang Fei's estate. At this time, the peach blossoms were in full bloom, a beautiful sight. Zhang Fei prepared a blue ox and a white horse as offerings, burned incense, and swore an oath. The three then became sworn sisters according to their ages. Liu Bei, being the eldest, became the eldest sister, Guan Yu the second, and Zhang Fei the youngest. This is the famous "Oath of the Peach Garden" in the *Romance of the Three Kingdoms*.

The popular tale of the "Oath of the Peach Garden," though absent from historical records, is one of the most widely circulated and influential stories. The novel *Romance of the Three Kingdoms* uses the title "The Three Heroes of the Peach Garden Swear an Oath of Brotherhood" to highlight the genuine bond between Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei—three sisters not related by blood. However, what Saint Karina and Hero were doing was entirely unrelated.

As expected of a bad woman, she can even unlock a brand new animated CG in the theater.

Gradually, Heloh couldn't even concentrate on the script anymore; her attention was elsewhere, on the room itself.

“Saint Karina…this isn’t a good idea, what if someone sees us…”

The Romance of the Three Kingdoms is much longer than other scripts, so it will be shown straight through to the evening.

“What’s wrong with that? I’ll cook you some food. Food made with the Holy Sword has the power to be blessed by the gods.”

Saint Karina smiled slightly, her smile conveying everything without words.

She didn't take off Hero's clothes, but simply moved a small triangular piece of fabric slightly away.

She took out her holy sword and began to make seafood porridge.

Seafood congee is quite simple; you only need the ingredients you have on hand. Prepare 10 shrimp, cooking wine, corn kernels, greens, diced carrots, shiitake mushrooms, rice, pepper, and scallions.

Next, peel and devein the shrimp, keeping the heads for later use. Marinate the shrimp meat with a little pepper and 1 tablespoon of cooking wine.

Heat oil in a wok, add scallions and sauté until fragrant. Add shrimp heads and stir-fry until the oil turns red. Remove the shrimp heads and scallions, then add diced carrots and sliced ​​shiitake mushrooms and stir-fry until softened.

Add 3 large bowls of water and bring to a boil. Add the washed rice and cook for 20 minutes until the rice is cooked. Then add corn kernels, greens, and shrimp and continue cooking until thickened. Before serving, add a little salt and pepper and mix well.

"Burying the Holy Sword into the seafood porridge will make things go more smoothly."

Thus, before the holy sword acquired a layer of crystalline luster, a continuous, indescribable tearing pain lingered, progressing layer by layer.

This was an extremely strange and incomprehensible pain. It puzzled Hero—where exactly was he injured to feel this tearing sensation binding his body, rendering him unable to move?

My mind was foggy, and my body was equally weak, but the most noticeable thing was that throbbing pain.

It is the opportunity to awaken oneself.

"Saint Karina... Seafood porridge, isn't it ready yet? This stuff made by the Holy Sword is way too big, I can't eat it, I'm in a bit of pain..."

Helo opened her aching eyes and, realizing her situation, felt a little anxious.

Compared to dishes made with fingers, the energy contained in the Holy Sword was far too much for her to handle.

However, all she could see was a girl with long white hair and blue eyes staring at her with a smile. That smile was devoid of warmth, containing only amusement and pleasure.

"Eat slowly, don't rush, you'll finish it all. Porridge is meant to be swallowed slowly."

This time, Santa Karina plans to make her a Meiling porridge.

食材需要准备糯米60g、梗米30g、山药150g、豆浆600毫升，清水200毫升、冰糖、枸杞适量。

Saint Karina planned to put five goji berries in the shape of a small flower petal.

Then, she mixed the glutinous rice and regular rice, washed them, added water, and soaked them for several hours in advance.

After making the soy milk, sieving it will make it finer. Peel and cut the yam into chunks, wash it, steam it until cooked, and then mash it into a paste.

Finally, put the glutinous rice and regular rice into a pot, add soy milk and 200 ml of water, bring to a boil over medium heat, then simmer over low heat until the rice is soft and cooked for about half an hour. Add the mashed yam, then add rock sugar to taste and cook for another ten minutes. Before serving, sprinkle with some soaked goji berries and it's ready to eat.

The resulting Meiling porridge is thick and white, and the holy sword is easier to smooth.

So, her waist was moving back and forth rhythmically, and her left shoulder was supporting a slender, pale leg that didn't look like that of a land woman. Moreover, that leg seemed to be an extension of her own body.
