"Ah~! I can't take it anymore, can we please stop for a moment." Bexia lay on Christine's lap, pale and weakly groaning, looking as if he had lost half his life.

And he wasn't the only one, on the other side, Carter collapsed directly onto the seat, looking like a dead fish. Among the three women and two men in the car, only these two men were in such a state, the other three girls didn't seem affected at all.

"What do you mean stop! We just stopped five minutes ago, and now you're like this again. If not, you can go on your own like Carter!"

Long Momo looked at Bexia, who was feeling nauseous, with a smile. This was a high-end magic shock-absorbing carriage, hardly any vibrations could be felt, and yet Bexia was still feeling sick. Unbelievable!

"Ugh~!" Bexia glanced at Carter, who was still lying on Azalea like a dead fish, and it seemed like he could even see Carter's soul escaping from his mouth.

"If you can feel this sick on such a high-end magic shock-absorbing carriage, what are you going to do when we take a passenger ship? It's even worse than this!"

"I...!" Bexia was about to respond, but the nauseous feeling in his stomach made him shut up. Although Long Momo said that, she was still very concerned about Bexia.

They had been on the carriage in this half-dead state for the whole day. In the evening, Bexia finally saw the "hope," which was the village where Sister Luxe was located.

"Ugh!" Bexia knelt by the roadside and vomited sour liquid as soon as he got off the carriage. Christine patted his back, trying to ease his discomfort.

"I'm fine now!" After a while, Bexia stood up and stopped Christine from treating him like a child.

"I never thought you would get motion sickness, Bexia!" Sister Luxe, who walked out of the church, looked at him and laughed.

"I can't help it╮(╯_╰)╭!" Bexia looked at Sister Luxe and wiped the corners of his mouth, saying, "Long time no see, Sister Luxe!"

"It's been almost a year. Why didn't I see Ophelia?" Sister Luxe looked around and asked.

"Ophelia had some things to take care of, so she didn't come!" Bexia said, recalling Ophelia's sudden departure, feeling a little lost.

"It seems like a lot has happened during this time. You've arrived just in time for dinner, so let's eat and talk!" Sister Luxe smiled. "By the way, those few little ones really miss you!"

"Really?!" The church had adopted seven or eight children, and as the oldest one, Bexia was popular among these children.

"Come in together!" Sister Luxe walked ahead, and the church's dining hall was the largest hall. There were no gods worshipped here, and Sister Luxe was not a formal nun either.

"Nanami, give me that bread..."

"Noni, why did you take my fried egg..."

"I clearly exchanged my lamb with you..."

"It's so lively!" Long Momo looked at the "battlefield" in front of her and smiled lightly.

"I'm sorry, they're usually more obedient!" Sister Luxe looked a bit headache, as managing the children was the most tiring part of her work.

"It's fine, it's good for them to be like this, after all, they're children!" Azalea said.

"Clap clap!" Sister Luxe clapped her hands to get the attention of the children and said with a serious expression, "Today we have guests, can you all behave a little, or else I will have to spank your hands."

"Sister Luxe, you're still using this method." Bexia whispered on the side.

However, it still had an effect. The children immediately quieted down, not because they were afraid of being spanked, but because they were curious about the new guest and stared at them for a while.

"Big sister, you're so beautiful!"

"Big sister, is that a sword on your back? It's so big!"

"Big sister, what is the pattern on your clothes? It looks great!"

Suddenly, the children put down their spoons one after another and surrounded them, especially Long Momo and Azalea who were completely encircled. They curiously touched Azalea's large sword.

"Don't touch it, it's dangerous!" Although the large sword was covered with a leather scabbard, part of the blade was still exposed, so Zeya didn't want these children to touch her weapon.

"You little rascals ignore me, and here I am bringing gifts for you." Bexia watched Zeya's awkwardness and immediately spoke up.

"Bexia brother, you're back too!" As soon as they heard about the gifts, several children came over. Bexia reached out and patted their heads, saying, "Behave and have your meals if you want the gifts. Otherwise, I won't give them to you!"

"Your words actually work, these little ones never listen to me, giving me a headache!" Luxe said with a smile as the children obediently returned to the table to eat.

"If I had known, I wouldn't have sent you away. It made me even more tired this year than before!"

"That's what you said, I wasn't planning to leave." Bexia laughed awkwardly.

"Well! Enough of these talks. I'm sure you must be hungry. Don't blame me if the hospitality is not good enough. This small place has only these food choices." Luxe invited everyone to sit down, and the children occasionally glanced at them.

"We apologize for the intrusion. How could we blame you for hospitality, Sister Luxe? If anyone should apologize, it should be us!" Long Momo said politely.

"Alright, Sis Dragon! Sister Luxe doesn't care about such things. Let's eat something first!" Bexia was also considered half of the people here, but compared to them, she naturally had more things on her mind. After all, she had lived here for many years.

After dinner, Bexia was surrounded by a group of children. While they asked for gifts, they also asked her some embarrassing questions. Luxe, on the other hand, went to prepare rooms for several girls. After all, the space in the church was limited, and if it wasn't tidied up, they would probably have trouble finding a place to stay.

"Bexia seems to be very popular among the children!" Long Momo looked at Bexia playing with the children in the courtyard from the window on the second floor and commented vaguely. Behind her, Luxe paused for a moment while arranging the beds and replied, "Bexia is indeed very popular!"

"How did you meet him?" Long Momo casually asked Luxe as if they were old friends for many years, not like ordinary friends who had just met this evening.
