A saintess? She's just a bad woman.

Pour some of the cheese mixture into a glass and immediately freeze it. It will solidify in a few minutes. In a bowl, combine instant coffee, heavy cream, and butter, and heat until boiling.

Remove from heat and add chopped dark chocolate. Stir quickly until the dark chocolate is completely melted into a chocolate paste. Cool to about 40 degrees Celsius and set aside.

Once the cheese mixture has set, remove the glass, pour in some chocolate mixture, and freeze until set. Pour in another layer of cheese mixture, and finally dust the surface with cocoa powder. Refrigerate.

Saint Karina thought that if Phoebe could use her hands instead of just biting, she would be more comfortable and would be able to make more flavors of desserts.

But not now, because Santa Karina's hands are still tied.

She now felt the need for release, a vibrant energy ready to burst forth. But with her hands bound behind her back, she couldn't even do something this simple. Only now did Santa Karina realize the sinister intentions behind Phoebe's binding her: that she could only serve her, unable to alleviate her own pain.

Saint Karina was utterly helpless. Without breaking the rules, her only option was to get Phoebe to her peak as quickly as possible so that she could be free.

So, Saint Karina only wanted to intensify her efforts to get Phoebe there as quickly as possible.

She wanted Phoebe to be comfortable, and then it would be her turn to be comfortable.

Since she could only bite, Saint Karina had to use all her strength to try her best.

"Hmm... Meow..."

Thanks to Saint Karina's persistent efforts, the little serpent finally broke through the city's defenses, causing the moat to erupt, and Phoebe reached her peak.

Saint Karina felt that her mouth was no longer filled with soft, sweet dessert, but rather that someone had poured a large cup of sweet juice into her mouth.

That's super simple homemade yogurt. Come to think of it, I've been eating yogurt that girls specially make for me for many years now. Back when I was with Ernest VII, it was once or twice a week, and each time I would make one 1.5L food storage container.

Homemade yogurt is not only healthy and tastes great, but its sweetness, sourness, and thickness can also be adjusted at will, offering many benefits. Of course, there is another major advantage that cannot be ignored: it is easy to make!

The method involves using a 5:1 ratio of pure milk to yogurt, with the amount of sugar varying according to personal taste.

First, prepare a container for the finished product, such as a food storage box or a sealed bottle. Wash it, scald it with boiling water, and let it dry before use.

Add milk and sugar to a pot and heat over medium-low heat until it just begins to boil. Remove from heat and stir constantly to prevent burning. Heating the milk to a simmer is for sterilization, which extends the shelf life of the finished product. If you are making a small batch, you can heat it to a temperature that is not hot to the touch and then add it directly to the yogurt.

When the mixture is cool enough to handle, add the plain yogurt and stir well.

Pour into a container, wrap with a towel, and let it ferment in a warm place until thick. During fermentation, avoid over-fermentation. If you find a watery, transparent liquid on the top of the finished product, it means that fermentation has overdone and the whey has separated. You must immediately transfer the yogurt to the refrigerator and stir well before eating.

Don't eat all the yogurt you make; save some as a starter for the next batch. Store it in the refrigerator and take out what you need as needed, using a clean, oil-free, and water-free spoon.

"Hoo...hoo meow..."

Phoebe had just reached the summit and was panting heavily as she recovered.

She took a deep breath, her feminine advantage pressed against the floor, creating a spectacular ball-carrying effect. Then, after she recovered, she glanced back at St. Karina.

"Is this all you've got? I think it's nothing special."

Phoebe chuckled, and having caught her breath, she resumed her rude remarks. She was deliberately mocking her, trying to provoke Saint Karina.

"If you want release tonight, this isn't enough~"

Phoebe's implication was that she wanted Santa Karina to bite her all night.

Because her hands were bound, she couldn't even sit down to use the holy sword.

Unless, of course, Phoebe helped her use it. However, since the other party deliberately left it for Saint Karina, it wasn't intended for her to be freed so quickly.

"Hehe, I'll show you just how 'good' I am."

Saint Karina emphasized the word "good." Although she knew it was a provocation, being questioned about her abilities in that area was something she was determined to make Phoebe meow and scream all night.

Its calls should be alluring, soft, and melodious, like those of a nightingale, ideally lingering in the air and lasting all night long—that would be even better.

So the little serpent launched another attack. Saint Karina would keep attacking until Phoebe raised the white flag.

Phoebe was stubborn, but Saint Karina was even more so. During the night siege, the moat's dams were breached, the water rushing and cascading for miles, the sky and the earth filled with water molecules.

"Meow...uh...meow..."

Phoebe finally reached her limit, and no more drops came out.

She lay unconscious on the floor, her body flushed and her hair disheveled.

"Hey! Phoebe?"

Normally, Saint Karina is very happy that her toys fall into a deep sleep after the pleasure.

But not this time; Saint Karina couldn't be so extravagant. Because Phoebe had taught her a lesson, and she ignored her cries.

330. Happy cooperation

The next day, the sun shone brightly.

After having breakfast, the three-person team headed to their destination for the day.

Today's hunting target is the Ice and Fire Two-Headed Dragon. Although it's called a dragon, it's actually only a sub-dragon, specifically an earth dragon.

This time, it's once again a battle fought with the cooperation of Violet and Phoebe.

"Aha!"

With a powerful voice, Violet charged forward to take on the role of dealing damage, slaying the earth dragon that was charging menacingly with her sword.

The sword swiftly sliced ​​across the dragon's neck, leaving a clear line of blood that shot through and landed on a nearby tree trunk.

"Bang!"

It was a heavy sound; the earth dragon had already overturned to the ground.

These earthworms are important raw materials, used to make money. They don't need pity. At first, Vera couldn't accept the bloodshed, but now, gradually, she's completely gotten used to it.

Whether it's a monster or a creature that lives in the forest, she will hunt it down as long as the mission requires it.

There is no mercy, no compassion. This is the law of nature.

Just like these earth dragons, they wouldn't feel sad about being trampled to death, or frozen or burned to death by their magical breath.

"Roar!"

Having killed one of its brethren, the other earth dragon did not charge forward with brute force. It remained where it was, observing the situation, and then roared as it unleashed a fiery breath.

"Water Bomb!"

Phoebe chanted an incantation and swiftly launched her attack. The water and flames collided, and the water bullets were atomized by the high temperature.

"Vir!"

Phoebe didn't intend to directly damage the earth dragon with water bullets; she was merely defending against attacks, letting Viole take the lead and playing a support role.

Compared to the damage that the Hero's Sword would inflict on these scaled, thick-skinned creatures, Phoebe felt that her magic was more suitable for helping when dealing with these kinds of guys.

"I know, drink it! If you eat any more, I'll confess!"

Violet understood Phoebe's meaning clearly: these earth dragons, like the fire-breathing beasts, possessed the ability to create fire. They were usually harmless in the forest, but once they ventured into villages near the forest, the damage they caused to human settlements was often fatal.

In fact, during the fierce battle, the trees and grass around Saint Karina were set ablaze.

This is no small fire; the fire is quite large.

Smoke was billowing all around them, greatly obstructing their view.

"Storm, heed my words, blow away all that troublesome dust!"

Phoebe waved her short staff, summoning a storm to blow away the thick smoke.

Her staff was quite special; the shaft was hollow, and the tip was a magical crystal. Hidden inside the hollow shaft was a magical scroll, meant to protect her life in a critical moment.

The magic scroll was given to her by Saint Karina; it wasn't a luxury item that Phoebe could afford on her own.

Besides the scroll, Phoebe also had a dagger at her waist, which she used for close combat when attacked at close range.

"Hey!"

With her vision clearing, Violet bravely charged to the nearest earth dragon and used her sword skills to kill the second one as well.

Then came the massacre!

massacre!

Before, Violet and Phoebe lacked chemistry but now worked closely together, becoming reliable partners. They quickly dealt with more than a dozen earth dragons, leaving only the last one.

"Mmmm..."

The earth dragon's vertical pupils stared in terror at the two killing stars. Its brethren were being killed so quickly that the earth dragon had lost all will to fight.

Unable to change the course of the battle, it decided to flee. With that thought in mind, it burrowed into the bushes, its head disappearing deep into the undergrowth, ready to run away.

"Hey! Damn it, don't let us get away!"

Phoebe was furious. But how could her two short legs compare to the earth dragon's four strong and powerful legs?

She is a cat, but she is agile, not a wolf or any other race that is good at running.

"Enhance, legs. Super enhancement. Leave it to me, Phoebe!"

Violet certainly didn't want to let this opportunity slip by. Each one was valuable material, and that meant money.

Don't say it's vulgar for a hero to ask for money. For Violet, money is absolutely necessary; without it, she has no choice but to use Saint Karina's money.

That won't do. Violet came out to become a hero, not a gigolo.

Furthermore, the complete annihilation of the Earth Dragon tribe, or rather, one of the tribes living in this forest, is also a rather glorious achievement.

She applied physical enhancement magic to her legs, a buff to her physical attributes. Then, her legs, like cannonball launchers, launched out after charging up, and she herself was as fast as a cannonball to intercept the guy trying to escape.

She wanted to decapitate the fleeing earth dragon with her sword, but she was too fast. The creature seemed to realize that it had a small tail that was hard to shake off. It slammed its powerful limbs into the ground and came to an abrupt stop.

It blew a scorching breath right in front of Violet's face.

Violet's speed was a gift from magic, not an innate ability. Furthermore, she rarely used this magic in actual combat, so it was too late for her to stop.

I've heard that if you get hit by the fire breath of an earth dragon, you'll be melted into charcoal. The temperature of those flames is extremely high, it's terrifying.

Violet didn't want to get burned, so she had to quickly dodge. Alternatively, she could use the magic swordsman's techniques in actual combat, incorporating magic into her sword skills.

In actual combat, Violet has always separated magic and swordsmanship. She either uses magic or swordsmanship; she never combines the two.

"The Sword of Flowing Water—The Sword of Origin, flowing and turning!"

A large amount of water gushed from her sword, and this water possessed a peculiar magic on the hero's sword.

Violet slashed out with her sword, cutting through the flames and charging forward!

"Ho!"

The earth dragon roared in fury, as if it couldn't understand why this person, wielding a sword, could charge at it undeterred by its flames. It was also like a final, mournful cry before its death; it probably understood that it had no way out.

It resents why this human being is so determined to exterminate it.

Its head had already separated from its body, and after letting out its final roar, the earth dragon's life came to an end.

Meanwhile, Violet's attention was no longer on the earth dragon, but on the water magic surrounding her. The water around her seemed to come alive, coiling around her like a water snake, floating beside her, obeying her every command.

She can easily manipulate these water flows, making them dance like water sprites, cascading and flowing precisely.

"Go! Put out the fire!"

Violet commanded them to put out the forest fire.

Then, when the flames encountered the water, a strong reaction occurred, hissing and burning. Finally, the flames, having lost their master, were extinguished by the water, turning into rising white steam and dissipating into the atmosphere.

Now, apart from some mess at the scene, the fire will no longer have any impact on the forest.

This battle was truly amazing. Saint Karina witnessed it all. The two finally started to cooperate, instead of fighting individually and neither willing to concede to the other.

"That's so cool, Violet. Your sword has me mesmerized."

Phoebe caught up and boasted to Violet.

"It's not entirely my doing; your magic was also amazing and helped me a lot. Thank you, Phoebe. Without your magical cover, I wouldn't have been able to get here so quickly and smoothly."

Violet also sincerely thanked Phoebe.

Seeing the two of them like this, Santa Karina thought that her efforts had not been in vain, as she had tried to communicate with them through two different channels.

They used not only language, but also physical actions.

"Alright, to celebrate our team's first time working together so well, and to show that your conflict has been resolved peacefully, let's go out to eat tonight. It's on me, so neither of you should try to pay the bill, okay?"

"Oh? This...this isn't right, Lina. We have money..."

Violet was a little embarrassed.

"In any case, we should be the ones inviting you. We can all see Lina's contributions."
