So, after thinking it over, she decided to approach Qian Xunji. After all, she and Qian Xunji were at least acquaintances, so there was room to negotiate.
And Qian Xunji had something she needed, while she had something he wanted in return.
There was a chance they could strike a deal. It wasn't as though negotiation was impossible.
Sunrise in the East, Invincible: "@Martial Soul Hall Pope, I can cast my vote for you. In return, I want a cultivation method—or even just some way—to keep getting stronger. That shouldn't be a problem, right?"
Seeing Dongfang Bai state her terms, Qian Xunji's lips curled into a faint smile.
He wasn't afraid of Dongfang Bai making demands. He was afraid she wouldn't want anything at all and would refuse to support his bid without conditions.
That would make things difficult for him.
After all, someone who wanted nothing was exceptionally hard to deal with.
Fortunately, Dongfang Bai wasn't that sort of person.
That made the rest easy.
She just wanted to get stronger.
Simple!
As a transmigrator from the Celestial Empire and the Pope of Spirit Hall in Douluo Continent, he lacked plenty of things—but never ways to get stronger!
With that thought, the smile on Qian Xunji's face grew wider.
Martial Soul Hall Pope: "Sure, no problem! I'll even throw in a spoiler while I'm at it!"
He was going to give Yue Buqun a spoiler anyway, so he might as well do Dongfang Bai a favor and give her one too.
After all, Yue Buqun and Dongfang Bai were both from the Smiling Proud Wanderer World.
Dongfang Bai knew that the so-called spoiler was worth very little and might well be an add-on after some hypocrite sold his ticket, but she didn't call him out on it.
After all, she was the one getting the better deal!
Sunrise in the East, Invincible: "Mm, thanks, Boss Qian. Looking forward to working together!"
Martial Soul Hall Pope: "Looking forward to it! By the way, in my world, humans get stronger through Soul Skills. Cultivation methods like yours are rare. Once the teleportation function is available, you can come to my world and I'll see if I can help you get a Soul Skill. If I can't, I'll think of something else. How does that sound?"
Dongfang Bai had no objections.
Sunrise in the East, Invincible: "Sounds good!"
As for whether Qian Xunji was lying when he said people in Douluo World grew stronger through Soul Skills, or whether he was just making excuses to stall her, she wasn't worried.
She had nothing to lose either way! Even if he was lying, she'd still learned something about her future. And if he wasn't, then that would be even better!
[Candidates: Martial Soul Hall Pope; votes currently held: 3 (Gentleman Sword, Undead Knight, Sunrise in the East, Invincible).]
"Three votes already?"
Seeing that Dongfang Bai had agreed to their deal, Qian Xunji nodded to himself, then turned his attention to the other group members.
He hadn't forgotten that he needed at least four votes to win the election for group leader.
Otherwise, things could easily take an unexpected turn—for instance, one of the group members might suddenly decide to run too and compete with him for votes.
By now, he had votes from Ning Caichen, Yue Buqun, and Dongfang Bai. Add his own vote, and he already had four.
In other words, he was guaranteed to win.
Still, Qian Xunji wasn't satisfied.
The others who had joined the group at the same time as him hadn't said a word yet!
And that was not to mention that one of them was a true big shot, a heavyweight figure!
Well, even if they all spoke up, they couldn't stop him from becoming group leader.
But as a perfectionist, he still wanted to hear what everyone else thought.
After all, he was a democratic group leader!
Martial Soul Hall Pope: "@I Want to be Zhao Gao, @Poison Girl of Chuyun, @I'm Not Seeking Immortality, Only Waiting for Your Return in This Mortal World—what do you think? Are you going to support me, or are you interested in the group leader position too? If you're not interested in running, why not vote for me?"
Martial Soul Hall Pope: "And of course, as I said before, I won't let you cast such an important vote for nothing!"
The Myth World.
Gao Yao was engrossed in catching up on a show when he heard the system notification that someone had mentioned him. He furrowed his brow slightly.
But when he saw that it was Qian Xunji who had mentioned him, and read what he'd said, his displeasure quickly turned to delight.
He had finally found a way to repay Qian Xunji.
Though this one vote alone couldn't fully express his gratitude to Qian Xunji.
