Lin Chen continued calmly, "But his own son—you—are still a bit of a pervert, aren't you?"
Adrian froze. "How did you know—"
He reacted immediately and corrected himself, "I am not the bishop's son. I'm just a priest. We would never marry or have relations with women."
Lin Chen laughed. "Then take a look. What's the difference between your noses, eyes, or mouths?"
The crowd erupted.
"They really do look alike!"
"So similar!"
"This Adrian wears glasses—I didn't notice at first!"
"How embarrassing. Bringing shame to Monaga. Hurry back to the Holy See!"
Bishop Henry rolled his eyes. "You people are listening to nonsense. We've simply spent a long time together. The longer you're together, the more alike you look."
No one believed him.
"Do you think we're idiots?"
"The longer you're together, the more alike you look? What are you—husband and wife?"
"This old man is disgusting!"
Lin Chen spread his hands and said lightly, "Bishop Henry, it seems no one believes you. You'll have to prove it. Otherwise, it'll be hard to convince the public—and you're aiming for promotion to archbishop, aren't you?"
Henry was stunned. "How did you know I'm about to be promoted to archbishop?"
This trip was originally to see Serena and make achievements. If Paul's father became a cardinal, Henry's promotion to archbishop would be guaranteed.
"Of course," Lin Chen smiled, then paused. "In Xia You, there's a saying: if a biological father kneels before his son, the son will become dizzy. Do you dare to prove it on the spot?"
Henry didn't believe such superstition at all. But to break the deadlock, he had no choice.
"Fine. I'll try!"
Adrian tried to stop him, but Henry waved him off. "Don't burden Adrian. We're here to prove our innocence and catch vampires."
"All right, Bishop," Adrian said awkwardly. Since his father insisted, he couldn't refuse.
Henry stood up tremblingly and walked toward Adrian.
Justin jumped in mockingly. "Bullying an old man like this—this Daoist priest is really vicious!"
Sister Widow picked up a cup and smashed it onto Justin's head with a loud clang.
"Ow! Who hit me?!" Justin shouted, clutching his head. No one paid him any attention.
Seeing that even the only person speaking for him had been silenced, Henry clenched his teeth.
He had no choice.
He knelt.
Adrian looked around and said quickly, "I'm fine—nothing at all!"
Henry was confused. Could Adrian's mother have cheated on me?After this, we must do a DNA test!
At that moment, Lin Chen flicked his finger. Spiritual power shot into Adrian's head like a needle.
"Ah!"
Adrian screamed, his legs went weak, and he collapsed to his knees.
The crowd exploded.
"They really are father and son!"
"A son really can't endure his father kneeling!"
"I believe in love again!"
Fingers pointed everywhere.
Henry stood there dumbfounded. Why did this idiot son kneel before me?!
Lin Chen smiled. "Alright. No need to recognize each other for so long. You can get up now."
Henry suddenly snapped back to reality. "I'm here to catch vampires! How does this prove Adrian isn't my son? This Daoist priest is too cunning!"
He knew he was already finished. The only way to salvage the situation was to expose the female vampire.
Ignoring the crowd's ridicule, he shouted loudly, "This woman is a vampire!"
Lin Chen spread his hands. "You're truly shameless—changing the subject like this."
Sister Widow rolled her eyes inwardly. It was you who changed the subject first.
"I can prove she's a vampire!" Henry suddenly declared.
The crowd grew curious. "How?"
"Sunlight!" Henry shouted forcefully, his legs no longer aching. "Vampires fear the sun!"
He pointed at the curtains. "If you're capable, call the police!"
Serena suddenly grabbed Lin Chen's sleeve. "Daoist, I'm scared."
"Haha. Now you're scared?" Bishop Henry strode forward and pulled open the curtains.
Blazing sunlight poured into the hall.
"Ah!" Serena screamed.
The crowd gasped. Could this peerless beauty really be a vampire?
Serena buried herself in Lin Chen's arms and whispered softly, "Master, what if I get tanned? That would be scary."
Lin Chen patted her shoulder. "It's fine. Darker skin is healthier."
Serena shyly replied, "Then tonight, do you want me and Bai Yu to compete with Bai Yu?"
The crowd sucked in cold air. This guy really knows how to play.
Lin Chen waved his hand. "Nonsense. Only Brother Xuande does that kind of thing. Lady Gan can testify."
Serena gave him a seductive look. "Brother-in-law, are you denying it?"
"Brother-in-law?!"
The crowd erupted again.
Lin Chen turned to Serena with a pained expression.
"You're messing with me? When we get back, I'll deal with you."
He then looked at Bishop Henry. "The sun's already out. You're still kneeling—go on, what else is wrong?"
Henry muttered, "No… she's not afraid of the sun…"
Suddenly, realization struck him. "She must be extremely old and highly cultivated—so she's immune to sunlight!"
Serena exploded in anger, walked over, and kicked him to the ground.
"I'm eighteen! That's old?! Who are you slandering?!"
Lin Chen's eyelid twitched.
"Well deserved!"
"Nice kick!"
The women in the crowd angrily condemned Henry.
For the first time, Sister Widow felt a favorable impression of Serena. "She's eighteen too, like me? Is she older than me? No—she's younger!"
Henry stood up shakily. "Fine. Then I can only prove it this way."
He took out a palm-sized silver cross from his sleeve. "This is a holy relic of the Holy See. I can channel sunlight into the cross. Any monster will be punished by holy light!"
Lin Chen nodded. "Impressive. Hurry up."
He held Serena's hand, signaling her not to be afraid.
Henry was invigorated and ordered his men to open all the windows.
He raised the cross solemnly. "In the name of the Holy Light—I command God to destroy all monsters!"
Sunlight outside twisted unnaturally, converging onto the cross. Golden rays flooded into the hall.
The crowd gasped.
"This bishop really has skills."
"Decades of experience indeed."
Henry sighed inwardly. You fools—terrified even by this much. Next time, I won't donate extra to the Holy See.
Adrian cheered, "Dad, you're amazing!"
Pepper grabbed Sister Widow's hand nervously. "Natalie… the Daoist priest will be okay, right?"
Sister Widow shook her head. "This guy is very bad. Even the police worry about him."
Pepper looked at her suspiciously. "Natalie, you seem familiar with him?"
Sister Widow froze, then smiled. "A woman's intuition."
Pepper nodded. "Why do I feel like you two knew each other before?"
Sister Widow laughed softly. "Women's intuition is usually inaccurate."
Pepper was completely confused.
