36 - Stop Hypnotizing Me, Villainous Princess!

### Chapter 36: This Guy Is Quite Handsome - Stop Hypnotizing Me, Villainous Princess! **New URL: www.xiaoshubao.net** Awesome! Grea cheered inwardly as he looked at the first successful signing of an extraordinary contract. He gazed at Lynne with an admiring look, thinking this guy was simply a genius. Since extraordinary contracts must be signed willingly by the person involved, he couldn't rely on familial power to forcibly make them do it. And once the contract was signed, an invisible restraint was born with it. Watching the dejected bearded man walk aside to wait, Lynne maintained a stoic expression, but inwardly, he was overjoyed. _[E-level plot character "Zhad Reymiro" has reached a plot deviation of 100.00%.]_ The system notification sounded in his ear. Meanwhile, in the distance, those who saw the bearded man sign the contract were thrown into chaos. Some cursed him for betraying his faith, while others eyeballed each other, likely plotting something sinister. "Bang!" Lynne fired a shot into the sky. "Quiet, next one." He said calmly yet with an unmistakable authority. In the wake of the bearded man's experience, everyone hesitated, not daring to step forward. As they stood there, unsure of what to do, someone suddenly collapsed in the crowd. The crowd scattered to make room, leaving a clear space in the center. Seeing this, Lynne rose from his chair, parted the crowd, and quickly walked towards the circle. Lying on the ground was an elderly woman with white hair, dressed in tattered clothes, barely breathing, looking in terrible shape. Is she trying to scam us? Lynne thought skeptically but kept a concerned demeanor on the surface. "What's wrong?" "You... young man, I'm very sick, seriously ill." The old woman murmured softly, "I need treatment, please... let me into the city." "Of course, it's my duty." Lynne nodded solemnly. "However, before that, I have a question for you." "Do you believe in the goddess?" "Of course... when I was homeless, it was the elders of the sect who took me in, fed me, and let me hear the goddess's gospel without reservation." The old woman replied quietly. A devout believer, then. Grea thought to himself, feeling a headache surge. If she were to die here, and certain people exaggerated the story outside, it would ultimately ruin Her Highness the Princess's reputation. They would claim that it was Evette's pressure to change beliefs that killed her. And they wouldn't care about how vile the sect truly was. After all, most people in the Holy Rolland Empire had never heard of this faith or its heinous acts of live sacrifices. Grea was unsure what to do. Yet Lynne remained unfazed: "Really? That's great!" "If you're a devout follower of the goddess, you must know the content of Chapter 3, Verse 18 of the scriptures, right?" He asked gently. The old woman was silent for a moment, then shook her head: "I... I'm feeling very confused and unwell, I can't remember anything right now..." "No worries, I'll remind you." Lynne wasn't bothered, "The third line of that verse states: 'All things have their cycles; there is birth and inevitably death. Fear not, as I am with you all.'" "Yes, yes, that's it." The old woman nodded weakly. Lynne looked at her: "Do you agree with this?" "Of course." Lynne's expression suddenly turned a bit serious: "In that case, you must also agree with the next line." "Some have strength, while others are plagued by sickness; fear not, this is repentance and redemption, until one’s body and mind are pure, to return to my divine kingdom after death." Lynne repeated deliberately to ensure she heard him clearly. The elderly woman on the ground was taken aback. "Young man, are you saying..." "Yes, the illness you suffer is a trial the goddess has bestowed upon you. Only by enduring it and cleansing your sins can you enter the goddess's divine kingdom after death." Hearing this, the old woman became anxious: "But I can’t endure anymore, even some medicine to ease the pain..." "No!" Lynne's tone suddenly turned stern, "This is the penance you must endure. At this moment, the goddess may be watching your perseverance." "Using medicine, that would be dodging the trial, wouldn't it?" "Madam, surely you wouldn't want to incite the goddess's wrath?" Lynne said gravely. His words left the old woman speechless. She became visibly anxious, falling into a long silence. Seeing this, Lynne sighed: "I'm not trying to be difficult. You have only two paths before you now." "The first, adhere to the sect’s doctrine completely, endure this trial, and cleanse yourself of your sins." "The second option is - "
