As A Cardinal, I Don't Do Overtime Chapter 117
Advertisement
In Monn's small villa in Saint Servant.
Under the curious gaze of Alma.
Ace swallowed the Holy Maiden Fruit.
The swallow could be clearly heard within the room.
The next moment, Ace, who felt the true power of the Holy Maiden Fruit, suddenly widened her eyes. The incredulous expression in her eyes could not be contained.
Boom!
Ace's Holy Rank strength instantly erupted!
It blew her waist-length golden hair into the air.
Her strength, which had already reached the bottleneck of Low-Level Holy Rank, suddenly seemed to be pierced by a needle.
Some of it seemed to be formed naturally.
Without the slightest resistance, Ace smoothly broke through her Low-Level Holy Rank and reached the Intermediate-Level Holy Rank in one go.
This situation made her a little shocked and at a loss.
"This is... "
She could not help but exclaim as she looked at Monn with her beautiful eyes.
It seemed like she wanted to know why she had such a huge change.
Upon seeing this, Monn shrugged and casually said, "I heard that this fruit is called the Holy Maiden Fruit. It is a fruit that Heaven-Grade Angels often eat. Eating it can increase their strength and prolong their life."
Although Monn said it casually, it sounded like thunder to Ace's ears.
The Angels ate it?
Increase their strength and prolong their life?
Ace had never heard of this magical fruit ever since she was young.
This shocked her greatly.
But she didn't doubt Monn's words.
After all, the proof was shown right in front of her when she reached Intermediate-Level Holy Rank from her previous Low-Level Holy Rank.
Knowing Monn did not mind giving her such a precious fruit, Ace looked at Monn with a moved and inexplicable emotion.
At the same time, she thought of the friend who gave Monn this fruit and could not help but say, "Monn, this friend of yours... is not simple!"
This fruit that only Angels eat, was actually given to Monn?

Logically speaking, this fruit only grows in the Heavenly Realm.
How could it be obtained by humans?
A thought that seemed extremely absurd to her arose in her mind.
Could Monn's friend actually be an Angel?
After thinking that, Ace didn't dare to dive further. After all, this might involve the content of angels.
It still didn't allow her, a Saintess from the lower realm, to figure it out.
Hearing Ace's words, Monn only shrugged his shoulders and didn't say anything.
After all, the system was indeed not a simple thing.
And this made Ace even more convinced that what she though was right.
She immediately stopped diving further. Instead, she looked at the Holy Maiden Fruits on the dining table that hadn't yet been cut open by her and asked, "Monn, isn't it too wasteful for us to just eat it like that?"
Ace felt that it was not worth it for them to eat precious Holy Maiden Fruits for breakfast.
Monn thought about it carefully.
To him, the effects of prolonging his life, beautifying his face, and improving his strength were not very important abilities to Monn...
But the ability to bring back someone who was still alive could have been of great use.
However, it was not for this reason that Monn would them as treasures.
Hence, he said, "It's alright. If you still have some left after eating them and there is no effect, then keep them."
In Monn's mind, it was only right to share good things with the people he was closest to.
When Ace heard this, she could not help but look at Monn with an even more moved gaze.
However, Ace and Alma both knew how precious these Fruits were, so no one touched it for a while.
Seeing this, Monn couldn't help but smile helplessly.
Then, he picked up a Holy Maiden Fruit and put it to Alma's mouth, saying, "You don't have to care about how precious this thing is. If my friend could give it to me once, there will definitely be a second time. Just take care of the medicine after you eat it."

Monn's tone was light, but he was not actually sure if he would be able to get these fruits from the system next time.
However, he didn't want his family and friends to struggle because of this.
Monn looked at the cute Alma and smiled. "Be good, open your mouth, Father Monn will ask for them again next time when it runs out."
Alma hesitated for a moment, but she still obediently opened her mouth.
Seeing this, Monn gently put the Holy Maiden Fruit in.
The melting sensation of the fruit exploded in Alma's mouth.
It was like tasting a cream cake.
There was a sweet and fragrant taste.
It made Alma's eyes light up.
She was as happy as if she were late for dessert.
But when she swallowed it...
She suddenly felt a little hot.
There was a faint, tiny drop of sweat on her body.
It was as if something was about to come out of her pores.
The next moment, her eyes widened.
A black mud suddenly covered her body, and there was a strong stench.
"Ah!"
She cried out and waved her small hands in the air in a panic.
Seeing this, Monn could not help but laugh.
Alma heard Monn's laughter and hurriedly shouted, "Monn, Alma is dirty!"
Hearing this, Monn didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "Don't worry, this is just the effect of the Holy Maiden Fruit. It helps you eliminate the impurities in your body."
Seeing that Monn was still making cold remarks while Alma was panicking, Ace rolled her pretty eyes at him.
Then, she opened the bathroom and said to Alma, "Alma, you can go to the bathroom and take a shower while waiting for the Holy Maiden Fruit's effect time to pass."
Hearing that, Alma was grateful and hurriedly ran into the bathroom.
Monn looked at Alma's flustered back, rubbed his chin, and nodded. "It seems that the effects are good."
Ace rolled her eyes at him, thinking that Alma was really pitiful to have such a heartless father.
The two of them waited at the dining table for ten minutes.
Suddenly, a cracking sound came from the bathroom.
Monn and Ace's expressions changed immediately.
But Alma was still a girl, so Monn couldn't go in, so he asked, "Alma, is something wrong?"
As soon as he said that, the bathroom door suddenly opened a small crack.
Alma's little head popped out, and she said with a slight smile, "Well, Monn, I don't know what happened, but I suddenly became very strong."
Hearing that, Monn heaved a sigh of relief and explained with a smile, "That's the ability of the Holy Maiden Fruit, it allows you to become an extraordinary person from an ordinary person."
Monn sized her up carefully and said, "Your strength should have reached Mithril Holy Rank now, right?"
Hearing that, Ace looked at Alma in disbelief.
She exclaimed, "It's really Mithril Holy Rank, and you actually skipped Grey-Iron Holy Rank and directly reached Mithril Holy Rank? This Holy Maiden Fruit is too amazing, right!"
"Yes." Monn nodded. After all, it was a fruit from the Heaven Realm.
Monn guessed that the power of the Holy Maiden Fruit had not been fully exerted yet.
Because Alma was still young, she could not fully exert her power. When Alma trained, she would follow the cultivation method and speed up her training speed.
This was the true power of Holy Maiden Fruits. Because Monn and Ace had the power from being of High-Level Holy Rank, the Holy Maiden Fruit did not display much of its power.
However, to Alma's body, it's real potential was shown.
