Chapter 435
Although Olivia was unsure why she was pregnant, when she placed her hand on her abdomen and felt the presence of her own
child, her heart was filled with profound joy.
She liked the child very much and was eager to protect it.
She asked Charlee, “What happened when you found me?”
Charlee frowned and slowly recalled, “After the auction ended, the First Elder left with his men. You were with Mr. and Mrs.
Flores, and you guys seemed to be talking about something. At that moment, an explosion suddenly erupted in the auction hall,
causing it to shake violently. Mr. and Mrs. Flores asked someone to escort Miss Alicia away, and they left you there.”
At this point, Charlee looked up timidly at Olivia.
Previously, whenever the topic of the Saintess’s parents favoring another person. was brought up, it would deeply distress the
Saintess, causing her to avert her eyes and fall silent.
However, this time, the Saintess did not react at all. Instead, she urged Charlee to continue, showing no sign of sadness at all.
an
Charlee pushed down the uncertainties in her heart and proceeded, “It was a incredibly chaotic moment, and there was no one
around you. I had no idea. where you had gone. As the commotion settled, the guards scoured every place looking for you.
Eventually, they discovered you in a secluded corner. During that time, you were unconscious. You were dressed also in a large
robe and had lost. your shoes. Also, your hair was cut short, and there was an injury to your chest. Fortunately, it wasn’t too
severe.”
‘My hair was cut short?‘ Olivia thought.
Olivia tilted her head to look at her hair, which was neither short nor long. She found it to be a little strange.
After all, no one would split their attention to cut their hair while fleeing in a hurry. Moreover, she had even lost her shoes.
Charlee’s face was filled with joy. “Saintess, you’re really lucky as nothing major happened. I heard that there was a group of
Hushenian in room 311, and they were all on the verge of death. The First Elder even said that they were not any ordinary
people. You see, there’s a person called Alexander, who’s a very powerful figure in the Hushe Republic. However, both his legs
have been broken. Also, there’s a woman with both her hands broken. How poor.”
Somehow, Olivia found the name “Alexander” somewhat familiar, as if she had heard it somewhere before. Therefore, she
decided to ask further. Charlee told her everything she knew. “They were all taken away by the people. from the Grant family.
They’re still alive, but they will never be able to stand
up
again. They should have returned to their country by now.”
“Hmm...” Olivia nodded. She did not experience any particular emotions; she simply found it familiar. Changing the subject, she
asked, “Give me a detailed account of Duncan.”
Hearing this, Charlee was shocked. “Why did you call Mr. Flores by his first name? I thought you respected him the most?”
Olivia’s expression remained unchanged. “After experiencing life and death, I now think differently.”
Charlee, an innocent girl, did not question Olivia’s words and shared everything she knew.
The Saintess was named Berry and had only become the Saintess of the Flores Family in the past month.
In former times, the Saintess wielded significant power and acted as the leader of the Flores Family. However, in recent years,
her authority diminished. She was relegated to a symbolic figure and was prohibited from marriage. With numerous limitations in
place, no one was willing to assume the role of Saintess.
Berry was the second daughter of Duncan and Lydia.
Following the birth of their first daughter, Brianna Flores, Lydia had anticipated that the second child would be a boy, which would
have helped solidify her position. Unexpectedly, not only did she give birth to a girl, but her daughter also. had a strange,
extremely ugly birthmark on her face. Subsequently, her daughter was called a demon.
The clan members spread the belief that Berry was ugly because she was born from a monster, insinuating that Lydia, who gave
birth to such a creature, was not a decent person.
Therefore, they suggested Duncan to divorce her.
Lydia was in a very difficult situation at that time. If Duncan had not insisted, she might have been burned to death.
Lydia, who had barely survived, hated her second daughter because of this. She left Berry in the care of the maid, treating the
child as lowly as a servant. She was also unwilling to even cast a glance at the child.
Three years later, Lydia successfully gave birth to the twins, a girl named Alicia Flores and a boy named Ashley Flores. Only
then did she manage to stand upright in front of others.
Due to this, Lydia and Duncan harbored a deep–seated hatred for Berry. Initially, the Saintess was supposed to be Alicia. To
safeguard her, Duncan and Lydia made Berry the Saintess instead. Consequently, Berry had to employ her own blood to nourish
the golden voodoo worm.
Olivia was indifferent to the issues within the Flores family and was not upset by the parents‘ favoritism. At that moment, there
was only one thing on her mind.
“You mentioned there’s a worm in my body?”
Charlee nodded. “It’s a golden voodoo worm. It’s a voodoo worm that the Flores Family has been raising for generations. You
see, after hundreds of years of nourishment, the golden voodoo worm will become the Golden Voodoo King, and then it will be
able to command all voodoo worms. The Dale Family has successfully raised a Golden Voodoo King, and I heard that it’s in the
body of Leanna, the eldest daughter in the family.”
At this point, Charlee looked at Olivia with pity.
The Golden Voodoo King residing within its master was not detrimental to the host’s body since it had already matured
completely. However, the golden voodoo worm required a continuous absorption of the Saintess’s arterial blood.
Every generation of the Flores family’s Saintess had not lived for more than ten years after planting the golden voodoo worm in
their bodies.
The shortest one had only lived for a year!
Charlee was appalled by Duncan and Lydia’s actions. It would have been reasonable if they had allowed their second daughter
to replace their youngest daughter as the Saintess. However, they chose to do so even though they were fully aware that the
Saintess had limited time left to live and had to permit the worm to extract her blood.
The resources that the members of the Flores Family provided to support the Saintess were confiscated by her parents. They
even verbally abused and physically assaulted the Saintess.
After all, the Saintess was fragile, kind, and harbored affection for her parents. However, besides her, no one else could endure
such treatment.
When Olivia heard Charlee’s words, the more she listened, the more unfamiliar she felt. She was not touched at all, and she was
not sure if she was the Saintess.
Perhaps the Flores family had mistaken her for someone else!
Charlee was startled. “Saintess, please refrain from saying such things again. You indeed have a golden voodoo worm in your
body. If you doubt me, you can call upon it. It will prove that I wasn’t lying to you.”
Olivia looked up and tried to communicate with the worm in her body according to the method taught by Charlee. “Golden
voodoo worm, show yourself!”
After several tries, there was no response still.
Olivia turned to look at Charlee.
Charlee said anxiously, “Try a few more times!”
Olivia called out a few more times. “Golden voodoo worm. Wormy. Little worm. Big fat worm... Come out now.”
Just as she was going to give up, an irritable voice suddenly sounded in her mind. “Get lost! Don’t bother me!”

Olivia clenched her fists, and her eyes were filled with shock. She wondered what had she heard.
This was beyond common sense. She could not help but ponder whether there was really a fat worm inside her.
Thinking of this, she could not help but frown, looking very displeased.
The fat worm seemed to know that she despised it and snorted. “I don’t care about you either. When the master I truly recognize
comes out of your belly, I’ll be the first to abandon you!”
‘Out of my belly?‘ Olivia thought.
Olivia’s expression turned somber. She promptly comprehended the true owner of the chubby bug–it was actually her child!
Thinking about what Charlee had said regarding the golden voodoo worm sucking the Saintess’s heart blood, Olivia’s gaze
abruptly turned cold. Her eyes revealed fierceness as she sternly warned, “Do not come near my child, let alone entertain
thoughts of his arterial blood!”
The worm replied with arrogance, “Don’t compare me to those immature creatures. I’m the King, okay? I don’t care about arterial
blood.”
After all, it was the Golden Voodoo King, a once–in–a–thousand–year occurrence.
Therefore, it was very smug!
