As A Cardinal, I Don't Do Overtime Chapter 116 – Holy Maiden Fruit

At night, the Red Moon Hung High.

The night wind blew through the deserted alley, stirring up a cloud of dust.

Saint Servant was brightly lit.

The whole town was filled with a thriving atmosphere.

It was a stark contrast to the gloomy Preston.

Saint Servant, in Monn's small villa.

In the bedroom, Monn held the Angel's Horn and looked at it carefully for a while.

He could not put down the artifact that looked like a work of art.

[Ding! You have yet to activate a lottery draw. Do you wish to activate it?]

The system's mechanical voice that went deep into his mind interrupted Monn.

Only then did he realize that there was still one lottery draw that had yet to be used.

Although he did not have much hope for this lottery draw,

There could still be some good things.

He gently placed the Angel's Horn on the side of his pillow, in preparation to bring it to the battlefield tomorrow to test its power.

Then he said, “System, start the lucky draw.”

[Congratulations, Host, you have obtained 10 Holy Maiden Fruits!]

Holy Maiden Fruits?

A black line instantly appeared on Monn's forehead.

Wasn't this a type of fruit that he had eaten in his previous life?

Was the system actually giving him things from his previous life in a perfunctory manner?

And it was so stingy as well, giving him only ten of them?

The system really pushed on his limit once again.

The system's embalming heard Monn's arrangement of it in his mind.

Hence, it gave him specific information on Holy Maiden Fruits.

[Holy Maiden Fruit: Its exterior color is like a flame, and it only grows in the Heavenly Realm. It bears fruit once every hundred years. It is a fruit that Angels love. To the Angels, it may be a dispensable fruit, but to the mortals in the Human Realm, it is indeed a rare and divine fruit! Mortals who consume it can prolong their life, retain their beauty, remove impurities, and increase their strength. They can even drag the living creatures that are still alive back from the edge of hell! Please use it wisely!]

The system prompt slowly disappeared, and ten flames that looked like they were burning appeared out of thin air.

Monn reached out with both hands and caught the ten Holy Maiden Fruits that the system described as so divine.

They were not as cold as he had imagined. Instead, they just looked like flames.

They carried the warmth of flames.

“Is it really that magical?”

Monn looked at them and asked suspiciously.

Then, he picked one up and stuffed it into his mouth.

He did not care about the what the system said about them being precious.

It was not as sweet and sour as in his previous life. Monn chewed it up. Instead, it seemed to have an indescribable sweet smell.

It turned into a kind of juice that flowed down his throat and into his stomach.

Monn did not feel anything extending his life.

Beauty…

Monn looked at himself in the mirror, but didn't see any changes.

Was it because I was too handsome that I didn't need any more beauty?

As for removing impurities, there was no need to mention it.

Monn's strength had already reached its peak.

The magazines were long removed, and his body was clean from the inside out.

Monn couldn't feel himself being healed.

Because he did not have any wounds.

However, Monn did feel a slight increase in his strength.

From this point, Monn was convinced that the Holy Maiden Fruits had miraculous effects.

After all, Monn was already at the of peak of the Holy Rank.

It was very difficult to increase his strength.

However, he did not expect that such a small fruit could increase his strength even slightly.

He did not expect that he would finally get something good from the lottery.

However, why does it seem as if I were a mere mortal?

Monn searched for the description of mortals in the system.

It seems that if I do not become a true God, I am still a mortal!

The night was silent.

After Monn was finished with the system, he went to bed early.

The next morning.

Munn got up early in the morning according to his biological clock.

After stretching, Munn pushed open his bedroom door.

As soon as he went out, he saw Ace busy in the kitchen.

He saw a steaming breakfast on the dining table.

He suddenly thought of the Holy Maiden Fruits that came out last night.

He went back to his room and took out the Holy Maiden Fruits.

To be honest, although the fruits could improve his strength, they were not very useful.

He could as well take them out and give them to Alma and Ace to taste.

Perhaps it would have a different effect on them.

Thinking of this, Monn placed the fruit on the dining table.

At this moment, Ace came out with a bowl of rice and asked curiously, “What is this?”

Ace stared at the nine fruits on the table.

She felt that they were quite pretty.

Could they be used for food?

As she thought about it, she heard Monn say, “Oh, a friend brought them to me yesterday.”

It was the same excuse that he used for the Holy Sword.

Monn didn't want to say that the system had given them to him.

He was too lazy to think of other reasons.

So, he simply reused the reason from the last time.

Hearing this, Ace's face froze.

The morning's happy atmosphere suddenly disappeared.

She placed the bowl and chopsticks on the dining table heavily, making a muffled sound.

This made Monn a little confused, making him wonder what this woman was up to again.

Ace was not in a good mood, so she went to call Alma.

When Alma came out, she saw the burning fruit on the table.

She quickly ran to her sitting position and held her cheeks with her small hands. Her eyes seemed to be shining with stars.

She exclaimed, “What is this? It's so beautiful!”

Monn was about to speak but was interrupted by Ace.

Ace said sarcastically, “This is sponsored by an unknown friend of your father, but this quantity seems to be a little too small.”

Her words revealed her disdain for this friend of his.

After deciding to give him the fruit, she actually had the nerve to give him so little.

Thinking of this, Ace twitched her mouth in disdain.

However, the appearance of this fruit was quite exquisite.

She seemed to have never seen such a fruit before.

Although the number of fruits was a little small, Ace still arranged them on a plate and cut them in half for a sense of ritual.

When the first Holy Maiden Fruit was cut open…

A stream of golden juice slowly flowed out from the inside.

It was as if there were gold foil inside.

Both Ace and Alma widened their eyes.

Monn was also a little surprised.

Yesterday, he ate it in one bite, so he didn't see the interior of the Holy Maiden Fruit clearly.

He didn't expect it to look like this.

“Is… Is it really edible?”

Ace could not help but ask.

She had never seen such a strange fruit before.

Alma also looked at Monn curiously.

As a man who had eaten the fruit before, Monn had the authority to speak.

He said with certainty, “It is indeed edible. Maybe it will have some miraculous effects.”

He left a meaningful sentence behind.

Of which, made Ace even more confused.

But since Monn said it was edible, she didn't worry anymore.

She picked up a piece with a fork.

Her pink lips moved slightly, and she put the Holy Maiden Fruit with golden juice into her mouth.

The fruit gave a melting sensation and exploded in her mouth.

The moment she swallowed it, her big sky-blue eyes widened.
