The Pope's Summons, Gentle as a Spring Breeze
Seeing that Qian Renxue was still tidying up her beautiful blonde hair in front of the dressing mirror, ignoring Su He completely, Su He felt annoyed.
He quietly approached and reached out his large hand to ruffle all of Qian Renxue's carefully groomed, smooth golden fur.
"Don't touch my hair!"
When Qian Renxue saw that Su He had once again ruffled her perfectly styled blonde hair, she immediately raised her hand to protect her head.
"Lion King, ha ha!"
Hahahaha!
Su He burst into laughter when she saw Qian Renxue with her messy blonde hair.
"Su... He..."
Qian Renxue turned around, her face completely dark.
Qian Renxue silently sat back down in front of the dressing mirror, opened a drawer, took out a pair of scissors, and stabbed Su He with them.
Although Qian Renxue knew that Su He's physical condition was extraordinary, she still controlled her strength. When the scissors pierced Su He's body, Su He only felt a slight itch and looked at Qian Renxue with a half-smile.
I hate you!
Seeing Su He's state, Qian Renxue angrily punched him twice, then sat on the bed, hugged her pillow, and sulked.
Seeing her lover looking so adorable, Su He grinned mischievously and pounced on him.
Several hours later.
The two nestled together, savoring the beautiful moments before their parting.
"My hair's going to be messy anyway, so what's the difference between it being messy sooner or later..."
Su He joked with a smile.
Upon hearing this, Qian Renxue rolled her eyes and punched him again.
"The Sun Moon Continent... what an intriguing place..."
Qian Renxue murmured.
Su He looked up at the ceiling of the room, lost in thought.
Everything about the Sun Moon Continent was unknown to him. He didn't know what the Sun Moon Continent would look like ten thousand years ago, or whether the royal family of the Sun Moon Empire still existed.
Thinking of this, Su He couldn't help but sigh deeply.
He had far too many things to consider and think about. Although he and Qian Renxue had been together the whole time while carrying out their Usurpation Plan in the Heaven Dou Empire, they could only spend about an hour together each day, and they couldn't even sleep together at night.
As a direct descendant of the Worship Hall, Su He was born with a heavy responsibility; his every move represented the face of the Worship Hall.
As the only grandson of the Lion Douluo, Su He, like Qian Renxue, enjoys the most advanced cultivation resources on the entire continent, and is personally taught by a supreme expert like Golden Crocodile Douluo. However, everything in the world has its gains and losses; while receiving preferential treatment in resources, they are also deprived of the right to fail.
He must remain strong and become the pinnacle of the younger generation. This is not only the requirement of the Worship Hall, but also the expectation of every member of the Spirit Hall from top to bottom.
The next morning.
Su He woke up on the large bed in Qian Renxue's room. The beauty beside her was still fast asleep, occasionally letting out cute snores. Qian Renxue was in a foreign land in the Heaven Dou Empire, but she rarely slept so soundly. Even though her birth mother was extremely cold to her in Spirit City, she still had her grandfathers who loved her dearly.
Spirit City is Qian Renxue's true home.
Su He is also someone who falls asleep very quickly; otherwise, she probably wouldn't have been able to sleep at all yesterday because of Qian Renxue's quick sleep.
I pushed open the door and went outside, only to find the servants already waiting at the end of the corridor, breakfast already prepared.
The two had officially established their relationship, and the servants in the Worship Hall were no longer surprised by it.
Su He nodded to him, indicating that she would be there in a moment, but saw that the servant was still there, as if he had something to say.
"Hmm? What's wrong?"
Su He asked, somewhat puzzled.
"Young Master..." The servant seemed to be well aware of the complex relationship between the two factions within the Spirit Hall, and spoke in a low voice.
"His Holiness the Pope has sent word that you and Miss need to come over after breakfast."
"I see."
Su He nodded and then dismissed the servants.
"What kind of trouble is Bibi Dong up to now..." Su He thought to herself.
Although the Worship Hall and the Pope's Hall are not exactly irreconcilable enemies, neither of them are the kind of people who would give the other a friendly look. In addition, now that Yan, the inheritor of the God of Fire, has completely sided with the faction of worship due to his apprenticeship, Bibi Dong can be said to have no one left to rely on.
"What happened?"
Sleepy-eyed Qian Renxue walked out of the bedroom. Even though she was already Soul Sage, sleeping was still one of her greatest hobbies.
"Let's eat and talk at the same time."
Su He shook her head and went to the restaurant with Qian Renxue.
"What new trick is that woman up to now...?"
Qian Renxue complained, her tone filled with distrust towards Bibi Dong.
"I don't know, but we don't need to be nervous. She can't tell us what to do."
Su He smiled slightly, indicating that she was not flustered at all.
Spirit City, Pope's Hall
Su He and Qian Renxue walked hand in hand into the Pope's Hall. Bibi Dong was already seated in the main seat, with two level 93 Titled Douluo beside her, replacing Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo as Bibi Dong's closest subordinates.
The remaining three Titled Douluo elders stood in the next row. Su He even saw the long-lost Old Poison, who smiled slightly at him when he saw Su He.
The Old Poison Dugu Bo has now reached level 94. In theory, he is more qualified to be Bibi Dong's assistant, but his free-spirited personality and preference for leisure, coupled with his relationship with Su He, have prevented him from being given important responsibilities.
The original trio from the Golden Generation were also present, but it seems that the current Golden Generation has undergone some changes.
Hu Liena stood on the far right, looking at Su He and Qian Renxue with a hint of wariness and... jealousy?
Beside her was her brother, Xie Yue, and to Xie Yue's left was Yan.
It's worth noting that Hu Liena had always stood between Xie Yue and Yan. What made Yan give up pursuing Hu Liena and choose to distance himself from her was something Su He didn't know.
Upon seeing Su He and Qian Renxue, Yan's expression was much more relaxed. After all, he had fought back-to-back with Su He during their training in the Star Luo Empire's Secret Realm, and moreover, the Mighty Lion Douluo was his respected Teacher who had helped him a great deal on his cultivation path. Naturally, Yan felt extremely close to his Teacher's grandson.
"Greetings, Your Pope!"
Su He and Qian Renxue bowed in the standard manner of subordinates.
"Get up, you two good children." To Su He's great surprise, Bibi Dong spoke to the two of them in a gentle and soothing tone. Then, with a gentle pull of her jade hand, Su He and Qian Renxue stood up.
"Su He, Qian Renxue, you two have been infiltrating the Heaven Dou Empire for many years and have finally completed your Usurpation Plan. Today, I have summoned you here to bestow honors upon you in front of the elders and the younger generation!"
