Money Can Be Made, It All Depends on Whether Her Holiness the Pope Is Tough Enough

But it wasn't impossible to put this new system into practice.

It mainly depended on whether Her Holiness the Pope, Bibi Dong, was tough enough.

As long as she was tough enough, everything else would be easy to settle.

If she wasn't tough enough, she definitely wouldn't be able to keep those old fellows in line.

But then again.

This woman Bibi Dong really won't give up on her wicked ambitions.

She actually dreams of turning a faction into an empire. What wishful thinking.

The gap between a sect faction and an empire is simply too vast.

The two aren't even on the same level.

Given this woman Bibi Dong's methods, never mind that she failed in the end-even if she succeeded, so what?

It would surely be just like that vast Qin Dynasty.

It would fall in the second generation!

But... but I absolutely can't say any of that aloud, or this woman will definitely drag me off to do hard labor as her dog-headed strategist.

What should I say to make this woman think I'm just a weakling?

Listening to these inner thoughts.

Bibi Dong felt both pleased and somewhat indignant.

What pleased her was:

There was a solution to Spirit Hall's excessive expenditures and its inability to retain much money.

What made her indignant was:

Li Mubai had such talent, yet he thought about slacking off every day. He was simply burying all his own brilliance!

As for the remarks that insulted her, she had already grown used to ignoring them.

But she really didn't like that remark about whether she was tough enough.

What does he mean, am I tough enough?

Wasn't the attitude I showed before tough enough?

At the last meeting, didn't you, Li Mubai, see how I cowed those old foxes into silence?

What Bibi Dong didn't know was.

At the last meeting, Li Mubai really hadn't listened to what she had said.

At the time, he had still been pondering how best to use that Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring.

After giving it careful thought for quite a while.

Li Mubai put on a serious expression and lied without the slightest blush:

"Your Holiness, since you want to make money, isn't that simple?"

"Oh? How so?"

Bibi Dong looked interested.

"While drinking yesterday, I heard from Old Bear that some of our Spirit Hall elders have vast fortunes at home!"

"If these elders were to hand over their wealth, wouldn't that make for a huge sum?"

Li Mubai spoke with a sly look on his face.

Compared with the earlier method of establishing a dedicated department to collect taxes, this method was undoubtedly the fastest.

It's just that...

Do you, Bibi Dong, have the guts to do it?

No way!

Hmph...

You should be about to call me an idiot, right?

I've acted so stupidly. This woman shouldn't come looking for me tomorrow, right?

Hearing this.

Bibi Dong's eyes suddenly lit up.

Why didn't I think of this before?

From what she knew.

Some of Spirit Hall's elders really did have vast fortunes!

Even supporting an army would be no problem.

Despite such enormous wealth, she had never thought of taking it for herself.

How foolish!

But...

This method still couldn't be put into practice directly for the time being.

Because the elders' factions were too powerful.

Although she herself was also a Titled Douluo, she only had a single Martial Soul.

With the strength of a single-Martial-Soul Titled Douluo, she couldn't overpower these elders.

Those people simply wouldn't obey.

So.

This plan could only be carried out once she attained the strength of a Twin Martial Soul Titled Douluo.

And she still couldn't simply use her strength to suppress them.

She would have to use both threats and inducements to carry it out and make these elders obediently hand over the wealth in their possession.

So.

Judging by the current situation.

She still needed to use the method from Li Mubai's thoughts to accumulate the money needed for the great undertaking in the future.

"Good idea!"

The more Bibi Dong thought about it, the more feasible the method seemed.

She immediately spoke up, unable to help herself.

Meanwhile, Li Mubai, who sat opposite her.

Had already prepared himself for Bibi Dong to give him a cold look and scold him for being stupid.

Hearing her words.

Li Mubai couldn't help nodding, secretly delighted.

He had come up with such a rotten idea. Surely this woman Bibi Dong wouldn't come looking for him tomorrow now?

But.

Just as Li Mubai was feeling pleased with himself.

He suddenly realized something was wrong.

Wait... something's wrong!

What did she just say?

Li Mubai carefully recalled the words Bibi Dong had just spoken.

She seemed to have said... good idea???

Those words suddenly echoed in Li Mubai's mind.

This is so damn wrong!

Li Mubai sat dumbfounded on the stool to the side, his eyes vacant.

At that moment, he.

Still couldn't quite believe that "good idea" had come out of Bibi Dong's mouth!

This really went against Bibi Dong's character setting!!

Normally, shouldn't she have cursed him out?

Li Mubai suddenly began to wonder.

Was the Bibi Dong in front of him a fake?

Otherwise, how could she have said something like that?

At that moment.

Bibi Dong, sitting upright on the sofa, listened to Li Mubai's jumbled thoughts, and her eyelid twitched almost imperceptibly.

At that moment, she really wanted to say:

"You don't know shit, Li Mubai! Everything I do is so that Spirit Hall can develop better!"

But.

She absolutely couldn't say that aloud, or Li Mubai would grow suspicious of her.

Li Mubai, meanwhile.

After griping in his heart for a long while, could only pretend to look delighted and satisfied as he said:

"It's truly an honor to receive Your Holiness's praise!"

But in truth.

He was miserable inside.

What on earth is going on?

I clearly came up with the rottenest idea a rotten idea could possibly be.

Why did Bibi Dong still praise it as a good idea?

At this rate.

How am I supposed to get rid of this woman?!

Li Mubai wailed in his heart.

But all those wails fell on Bibi Dong's ears.

Hmph... you little rascal, still hoping to get rid of me?

Dream on!

I'm sticking to you!

I'm not just coming today. Tomorrow, the day after... as long as I have time, I'll come here every day!

I refuse to believe I can't deal with you!

Bibi Dong sat upright on the sofa, the corners of her mouth lifting slightly on her flawless face, revealing the faintest hint of a smile.

For some reason.

Whenever she was here with Li Mubai, she felt utterly relaxed and at ease, without the slightest sense of danger.

Perhaps it was because she could hear his inner thoughts and know every one of his ideas clearly.

Meanwhile.

Hu Liena, who had heard the two talking, felt quite bored.

She wasn't interested in the questions Bibi Dong had asked.

But.

When Li Mubai suggested confiscating the elders' family fortunes.

She was somewhat surprised.

This elder really dared to say anything!

If those words got out and the other elders heard them, they would definitely band together to deal with him.

Hearing such words.

Her first reaction was to mutter in her heart: Is this Tenth Elder an idiot?
