Prayer

In the vicinity, several teenage girls, appearing to be around sixteen years old, were kneeling on the ground. They had slender figures and delicate and adorable faces, exuding a youthful aura like ripe and tender fruits, awaiting their harvesting.

Jack discreetly swallowed his saliva, looking at the slender girl next to him. Although he wanted to reach out and pinch her waist, he didn't want to be mistaken for a lascivious monk and risk being expelled from the Holy Maiden Monastery.

The girl felt his gaze and turned around, revealing a pure face with a lovely smile. She sweetly said, "Sister, are you also a newcomer to the Holy Maiden Monastery? My name is Xilian, what's your name, sister?"

Being addressed as "sister" was quite annoying for Jack, but he couldn't avoid answering. Using his gentle neutral voice, he replied, "My name is Elsa, you can just call me by my name."

Xilian's pure face showed an envious expression as she said, "Sister, you are so beautiful! You will surely stay in the Holy Maiden Monastery for a long time and maybe even have a chance to become a holy maiden!"

Jack forced a laugh, not interested in either of those two things. However, Xilian continued cheerfully, "We are so lucky to be assigned to the Aries Palace, serving the holy maiden of Aries, Alice. It feels like a dream come true!"

Jack chuckled, knowing that he was indeed fortunate. He was selected by the experienced nuns and directly entered the Aries Palace of the Twelve Palaces, without having to spend a year in the outer palaces of the Holy Maiden Monastery like most of the new sisters.

The Holy Maiden Monastery housed over ten publicly recognized holy maidens, each residing in one of the Twelve Palaces and overseeing the internal affairs of their respective palaces. The leaders of each palace were called holy maidens, and they formed the Holy Maiden Council, making decisions on significant matters within the Holy Maiden Monastery.

Currently, Jack was to serve the holy maiden of the Aries Palace, named Alice. However, Jack couldn't be bothered to remember those long names, so he preferred to call her the Aries Holy Maiden in his mind.

An older nun walked along the white stone wall, smilingly beckoning them, "Let's go! The prayer meeting is about to begin."

The girls' faces lit up with excitement, their fair complexions turning rosy, making them even more adorable. They laughed and followed the older nun, proceeding along the path.

Jack followed the girls, his eyes flickering sneakily, secretly observing the older nun. She appeared to be around thirty years old, exuding an elegant temperament and possessing a beautiful appearance, emanating mature charm that made Jack salivate.

The central area of the Twelve Palaces was a massive hall in the Holy Maiden Monastery, towering and spacious. Supported by dozens of thick pillars, its ceiling reached great heights. Standing in the grand hall, Jack suddenly felt small and insignificant.

Within this colossal hall, it accommodated thousands of nuns, yet the procession was remarkably orderly, everyone devoutly bowing their heads in prayer. Jack glanced around discreetly and noticed that every individual was exceptionally beautiful, graceful, and possessed incredible figures. The mature and attractive beauty of those nuns caused even more salivation from Jack.

His gaze became somewhat absent-minded. In his previous life, he could never have dreamt of being in such a place, surrounded by numerous beautiful women. Any of these beauties could easily rival the top beauties on Earth. If the Hollywood actresses known for their beauty were to come to the Holy Maiden Monastery, they might feel ashamed and never dare to show themselves in public again.

"So many beautiful women! Is this heaven?" Jack thought absentmindedly, lifting his head to gaze into the depths of the grand hall. The immense mural of the Goddess of Life adorned the far end, radiating an ethereal and holy beauty that compelled Jack to bow down sincerely, lowering his head.

His actions weren't out of place as all the nuns present devoutly prostrated themselves, pledging their lives to the great Goddess of Life.

Jack also wanted to do the same. Additionally, he desired to devote himself to all the beautiful nuns present, but he didn't believe there was much possibility of achieving that goal.

Raising his head, he faintly saw more than ten women in high-ranking nun robes leading the prayer in front of all the other nuns. They should be the holy maidens of the Twelve Palaces. From behind, their figures were all graceful and Jack longed to see if their appearances matched their exquisite physiques. However, he couldn't get a clear view, leaving him filled with regret.
