After chatting a little longer, the Heaven Dou Empire's envoy withdrew reluctantly.
After all, faced with a Spirit Hall backed by a true god's testimony, they did not dare to openly fall out with them just yet.
After Prime Minister Ge Long left, calm returned to Spirit Hall's council chamber.
Solomon stood amid the patches of light cast by the stained-glass windows. On his tender six-year-old face was a depth far beyond his age.
"Gabriel, do you think they'll accept this explanation?" Solomon asked softly, tapping the gilded cover of the Book of Contracts with his finger.
Qian Renxue—no, she should now be called Gabriel. She gently stroked the golden hair draped before her chest. Her graceful sixteen-year-old figure was faintly visible beneath her white holy robe.
"Uncle Ge Long is a smart man. He won't rashly make an enemy of a god." She crouched down and adjusted Solomon's robe hem for him.
The corners of Solomon's lips curled upward, his gaze lingering briefly over Gabriel's beautifully curved figure.
Though he now had only the body of a six-year-old child, the instincts of an adult man deep in his soul still stirred restlessly.
Especially whenever Gabriel bent down to straighten his collar, that faint, elusive fragrance always made his heart race.
She truly was Qian Renxue. Not only was she beautiful, but she had a great figure too. And her Favorability toward him had already risen past 60%. Just a little higher, and it would reach the standard for romance—or perhaps loyalty.
Not bad. This was definitely more promising than being a simp.
"Your Highness?" Gabriel noticed his distraction, a trace of confusion flashing through her azure eyes.
"Cough, it's nothing." Solomon withdrew his gaze and forced himself to focus on business. "The Heaven Dou Emperor won't give up so easily. We have to prepare for this. Besides, the god demands the unification of the continent. That also needs to be put on the agenda..."
At that moment, the doors to the council chamber were gently pushed open.
A pink figure skipped inside.
"Brother Solomon!" Xiao Wu called cheerfully, her six-year-old voice crisp and pleasant.
Today, she wore a white short dress specially made by Spirit Hall. Her two slender legs stood out beneath the hem, while her pink rabbit ears bobbed with every step.
"Xiao Wu, I told you to call me Lord Solomon here." Solomon put on a stern expression, yet could not resist reaching out to rub her fluffy rabbit ears.
They were unbelievably soft, reminding him of petting cats in his previous life.
Xiao Wu stuck out her tongue. "Got it, Lord Solomon~" She deliberately drew out the last word, then curiously looked toward Gabriel. "Angel Sister looks so pretty today!"
Gabriel smiled faintly and crouched down to meet Xiao Wu's eyes. "Xiao Wu is adorable too." She reached out to smooth Xiao Wu's slightly messy hair, her movements as gentle as though she were tending to a younger sister.
Watching this scene, Solomon sighed inwardly.
Who would have thought that the two who had been romantic rivals in the original story would now get along so well, even seeming faintly on the verge of calling each other sisters?
That was pretty nice too.
Solomon smiled at the two girls, then saw Raphael walk in from behind the door.
"Your Highness," Raphael said gently, "all the spies from other imperial factions within Spirit Hall have been dealt with. What should we do next?"
A cold gleam flashed through Solomon's eyes at those words. "As expected, there really are worms inside Spirit City. Still, it's not too late to discover them now."
He turned to Gabriel. "In a few days, accompany me to obtain a soul ring, Gabriel."
Gabriel nodded, her wings folding gently behind her. "I'll make preparations."
As she turned, her white holy robe outlined her slender waist and shapely curves, making Solomon unable to stop himself from taking another two looks.
Those two looks were simply a man's instinct.
"What is Brother Solomon looking at?" Xiao Wu keenly noticed it and asked with a sly grin.
"Cough, nothing." Solomon awkwardly looked away. "Xiao Wu, go play with Lady Raphael. I still have some matters to handle."
"No way." Xiao Wu wrapped her arms around Solomon's arm. "Brother Solomon likes Sister Gabriel's kind of figure more, right? Hmph. Once I grow up, my figure will definitely be even better than hers~"
During this time, bolstered by Ye Su's halo, Solomon's integration into Spirit Hall could not merely be called fast—it had been astonishingly swift. He had also gained the favor of both Xiao Wu and Gabriel.
Xiao Wu had already completely begun treating him as someone she could act spoiled around.
Solomon shook his arm with amused helplessness. "You little brat, what nonsense are you talking about?"
Bro wasn't looking for nothing.
Bro was just appreciating.
And bro didn't look for free. Once he logged into his main account later, he'd give rewards.
Whatever color of soul ring they wanted, that was the color of soul ring they'd get.
Bro didn't look for free.
"Bleh!" Xiao Wu made a smug face, then turned and threw herself into Raphael's arms. "I wasn't talking nonsense!"
"Yes, yes, yes..."
Raphael gently patted Xiao Wu's back, amusement rippling through her azure eyes. "Xiao Wu mustn't say such things carelessly. Lord Solomon still has important matters to handle."
She raised her eyes toward Solomon, her tone gentle. "However, Your Highness really should compose yourself. News has just arrived from Star Luo: Dai Weisi has begun gathering soul master forces at the border."
Solomon coughed twice and pulled his gaze back from the direction Gabriel had left. "Lady Raphael, have the deacons keep a close watch on the Star Luo delegation's movements. Gather whatever intelligence you can, but if there is any danger, prioritize preserving yourselves. The god will protect everyone."
"Yes. The Lord will shelter everyone."
Over the past several days, countless large and small probes and disturbances had erupted across the international stage, but Solomon suppressed them all with thunderous measures.
The Title Douluo who had once served at the consecration ceremony were all at his command, giving him the proper justification to act with ruthless force.
But none of that affected Tang San at the Nuoding City Spirit Academy branch.
"...Blue Silver Grass with Innate Full Soul Power?" A haggard-looking middle-aged man sat leisurely drinking tea in his office. Looking at the frail child before him, he revealed a faint smile of certainty.
"My name is Yu Xiao Gang, and I am a master of martial soul theory. According to my research, it is impossible for a useless martial soul to possess Innate Full Soul Power. Since you have Innate Full Soul Power, that proves one thing: the martial soul supporting such talent cannot possibly be Blue Silver Grass. It must be the second martial soul hidden within you." His tone was confident and fanatical. "You are a once-in-a-lifetime genius with Twin Martial Souls. Am I right, Tang San?"
Tang San looked blankly at the haggard middle-aged man before him, thinking, This man is incredible. He actually guessed my true circumstances.
"How about becoming my disciple?" Yu Xiao Gang continued to boast. "I can make you a genius unlike any other, and I can even help you break through to become a Title Douluo before the age of thirty!"
