Execution at Noon, Winning the People's Hearts!
"Pah, these damned things!"
"Those born without conscience deserve to die!"
"Thanks to His Holiness the Pope, these corrupt individuals have finally been brought to justice!"
"I never expected Her Holiness the Pope to handle such a trivial matter personally. It seems she truly cares about us ordinary people."
Long live the Pope!
A quarter past noon.
The sun was blazing overhead.
A dazzling golden light enveloped the entire land, bringing with it a scorching heat.
The entrance to the Spirit Hall was bustling with activity.
The plaza in front of the majestic, solemn building, which exudes a sacred aura, is now packed with people.
A sweltering heat enveloped the square.
The crowd was so dense that most people were drenched in sweat.
Of course, there were also a few people who looked relaxed and showed no signs of agitation, with not a drop of sweat on their foreheads.
These are all Soul Master strength far surpasses that of ordinary people, possessing powerful physiques.
Although they only represent a small minority of the population, compared to the massive crowd at this moment, it is already a huge number.
In front of the towering building surrounded by a crowd.
Three prisoners were kneeling on the ground, their faces pale and weak.
Beside each prisoner.
Each of them stood as a burly, imposing man, holding a large, gleaming sword, his face solemn and his bearing imposing.
At that very moment.
At the main gate of the Spirit Hall, a giant golden carriage slowly drove out.
The giant chariot rolled over the bluestone pavement, making a loud noise.
The cacophony of curses and swears fell silent the moment the giant chariot appeared, as if mired in quagmire, utterly silencing.
The crowd gathered in the square all had their eyes fixed on the golden chariot at the entrance of the Spirit Hall.
The crisp clatter of the Unicorn's hooves, combined with the clatter of its wheels, echoed throughout the square.
A golden chariot.
A symbol of power and status!
Ordinary people are not qualified to ride in this carriage, not even the elders of the Spirit Hall.
Only the Pope, the sole ruler of the Spirit Hall, is qualified to ride in this carriage!
As residents of Spirit City.
Naturally, I am aware of these basic rumors.
The space was silent for the first time, then suddenly erupted in a deafening roar.
"His Holiness the Pope!"
"It's Her Majesty the Pope! This golden chariot is her personal tool!"
"His Holiness the Pope himself has come to the execution ground!"
"It seems Her Holiness the Pope takes this matter very seriously; she cares about us!"
"Welcome, Your Holiness the Pope!!!"
The crowd was filled with excitement and their expressions were joyful.
It is truly remarkable that they were able to witness Pope Bibi Dong personally intervene for such a matter!
This also means...
The Pope takes corruption very seriously, which means she is determined to crack down on corruption!
This also means...
Perhaps from today onwards, no gang in Spirit City will dare to inexplicably collect improper benefits.
Those who manage Spirit City must all live in fear.
The situation regarding embezzlement and bribery will be greatly improved!
As residents of Spirit City, we harbor the utmost malice towards acts of embezzlement and bribery.
So.
When Bibi Dong herself appeared at the execution ground, the crowd erupted in cheers, overjoyed.
They wholeheartedly support and admire Bibi Dong's efforts to combat corruption!
So when Bibi Dong first appeared...
The crowd erupted in enthusiastic cheers.
In the giant carriage.
Hearing the cheers and praises outside, Bibi Dong couldn't help but smile slightly.
Everyone loves to hear beautiful words.
She, Bibi Dong, was no exception.
"This Li Mubai is indeed a great talent."
"Using what the masses dislike to eliminate evil is indeed the most practical way to unite people's hearts."
"But..."
Even if we manage to unite these people, what good will it do?
Bibi Dong frowned slightly, still unable to understand why Li Mubai's actions were to her liking.
But.
Although she couldn't understand the purpose of doing so, Bibi Dong still chose to believe Li Mubai's suggestion.
Bibi Dong didn't believe Li Mubai had any ulterior motives, as he was someone whose innermost thoughts she could hear.
After all, Li Mubai's usual actions left her speechless.
Planting flowers and watering them, walking the dog when there's nothing to do, cricket fighting, and when there's free time, going to those romantic entertainment venues, listening to music in brothels, enjoying delicious food, cooking at home, and so on...
Is this something an elder should be doing?
This is hardly something a spendthrift should do!
No wonder Li Mubai complained to her that the monthly elder's salary wasn't enough.
In a word, they're poor!
Only after receiving the message from her subordinates did Bibi Dong understand.
What exactly caused the poverty that Li Mubai spoke of?
Is this how you play?
Even the wealthiest second-generation rich kids get their legs broken by their own fathers, right?
What a waste of money!
Certainly.
There were still some things about Li Mubai that Bibi Dong found quite appealing.
That is, although he goes back to brothels, he never indulges in debauchery with those women in bed.
This alone made Bibi Dong feel that Li Mubai was far superior to the other elders!
And also...
The meaning behind Li Mubai's actions.
That means not being obsessed with power!
This is something that none of the other elders could do.
Certainly.
Most importantly, she could hear Li Mubai's thoughts, so she wasn't afraid of his ulterior motives at all.
Everything is under control!
At the same time.
"Achoo~"
Who is thinking of me again?
Li Mubai casually rubbed his slightly itchy nose and said to the three people behind him:
Stay close, or you'll get pushed aside.
Two girls and a child followed closely behind Li Mubai upon hearing this.
Xiao Qian then grabbed Li Mubai's belt with one hand.
At the same time, he grabbed the beautiful woman with his other hand.
There were so many people in the square that it was easy to lose sight of your companions if you weren't careful.
As for why Li Mubai would appear here?
That would be incredibly boring.
You can't just eat and then spend the whole day indulging in debauchery at home, can you?
Li Mubai is not driven by lust.
He was executed at noon.
This was the first time Li Mubai had ever seen it, so naturally he was quite curious.
Moreover...
Spirit City is indeed a bit boring during the day.
The execution of the prisoner is quite a big surprise.
More or less, it can add a touch of fun to a mundane and boring life.
Certainly.
Most importantly, he wanted to see if Bibi Dong would be present.
He wanted to see if Bibi Dong would heed his advice and seize the opportunity to win over the people.
If Bibi Dong could listen to his advice.
He would naturally be happy to offer her some guidance in the future; it would be a simple favor.
But what if Bibi Dong is unwilling to take his advice?
Then he would absolutely not offer any further opinions.
The Way should not be lightly transmitted, and the Law should not be sold cheaply.
He, Li Mubai, wasn't so shameless as to offer his warm welcome to someone who was cold to him.
He will no longer pay attention to someone who doesn't believe in him.
The reason I wanted to give Bibi Dong some pointers was...
It was purely out of interest, and also...
To be honest.
Actually, Bibi Dong was quite pretty, and he didn't want to never see that familiar face again.
He swore.
This is absolutely not because I'm after Bibi Dong's body!
It's simply about appreciating beautiful things.
