An eruption of outrage surged through the ranks of the church's devoted followers as they beheld their esteemed Saintess, Hong Meilin, boldly seizing the initiative to bestow upon Wang Jian a passionate kiss.
The intensity of her embrace stoked an inferno of anger within them, as they struggled to reconcile their image of a virtuous and untainted Saintess with this audacious display of intimacy.
While the followers had grudgingly acknowledged Wang Jian's impressive martial prowess, the boundaries of acceptability were shattered by the sight before them.
Whispers and rumors of a burgeoning connection between the Saintess and Wang Jian had circulated amongst the factions of Wang Hao and Wang Ying the day before.
However, the church's faithful adherents staunchly denied these allegations, asserting with unwavering confidence that their revered Saintess would never engage in a relationship with Wang Jian.
