Snatching Someone

Spirit City, Spirit Temple of the West District.

Following Gui Mei's instructions, Ye Qifeng used his thoughts to retract his Martial Soul.

By then, he had learned that his Martial Soul was a Dark Shadow, a shadow formed from the Rule of Ultimate Darkness.

However, Ye Qifeng sensed that there seemed to be another Martial Soul within his body that had not fully awakened.

It was only because the Soul Power supply to the awakening formation had been cut off that there was not enough Soul Power to stimulate and guide it out.

At that moment, Siviss said urgently,

"Quick, child, test how much Innate Soul Power you have."

Hearing this, Ye Qifeng was about to reach out and touch the Soul Power Crystal Ball on the pillar beside him.

However, Gui Mei suddenly extended a hand to stop him. "Not yet."

Gui Mei said urgently, "Child, come with me to meet His Holiness the Pope first."

Then, without further ado, he unleashed his Soul Power and immediately prepared to take Ye Qifeng away to meet the Pope.

"Hold it!"

At that moment, a majestic, rough voice rang out.

The voice carried dense Soul Power, directly dispersing Gui Mei's Soul Power and preventing him from taking Ye Qifeng away.

Then, a towering figure radiating the oppressive aura of a Super Douluo flashed in through the hall entrance and appeared in the room.

The towering figure was Jin E, who had rushed over from the Worship Hall after receiving Qian Daoliu's order.

He was not targeting anyone in particular. He had merely released his pressure to intimidate Gui Mei a little, since Gui Mei was currently working for Pope Bibi Dong.

And Bibi Dong was at odds with the Worship Hall.

"Second Worship!"

Upon seeing that the newcomer was Jin E, Gui Mei's body beneath his black robe began to tremble uncontrollably. He did not dare look at Jin E and immediately bowed in salute.

The personnel of the West District Spirit Temple, led by Platinum Bishop Siviss, all dropped to their knees with a thud.

"Mm. Rise," Jin E said blandly.

Ignoring everyone else, Jin E cast a glance at Gui Mei with his tiger-like eyes and said in an unquestionable, commanding tone, "This child belongs to the Worship Hall. Go back."

"This..."

Gui Mei hesitated. Remembering the task Pope Bibi Dong had assigned him, he knew that if he returned just like this, his fate might not be pleasant.

Ever since the Pope had taken over the administration, he had witnessed her decisive and ruthless methods over the past year.

Seeing Gui Mei standing there, hesitating and refusing to move, Jin E could not help frowning. "What? Do you have something else to say?"

Hearing that, Gui Mei could only force himself to say,

"His Holiness the Pope instructed me to bring this child to meet her."

"Mm?"

Jin E looked at Gui Mei with an unfriendly expression and barked, "You are an elder of the Elder Hall. Do not forget who your master is. This is the Grand Consecrator's order. What, do you intend to defy it?"

"I would not dare." Gui Mei trembled and hurriedly said, "This subordinate obeys."

Beside them, Ye Qifeng was left bewildered by their conversation.

He had more or less understood.

Jin E and Gui Mei were fighting over someone, and that someone was him.

That meant both Qian Daoliu and Bibi Dong had taken a liking to him.

It seemed his awakened Martial Soul really was extraordinary.

Ye Qifeng himself had also been greatly shocked by the phenomenon earlier.

Judging by that phenomenon, it was very likely the legendary God-level Martial Soul.

This should count as a transmigrator's benefit...

At that thought, Ye Qifeng could not help smiling. Who would dislike having a powerful Martial Soul?

As for whom he should choose, even an idiot would know.

One sentence.

Bibi Dong was forever the God.

It was as though she had heard Ye Qifeng's call from within his heart.

A fragrant breeze suddenly swept in, and a graceful, noble figure with exquisite curves and breathtaking beauty appeared in the hall.

It was none other than the current Pope of Spirit Hall, Bibi Dong.

"His Holiness the Pope!"

Seeing the Pope arrive in person, every Spirit Hall member in the temple, including Gui Mei, fell to their knees in an instant.

The only ones who did not kneel were Jin E and the utterly bewildered Ye Qifeng.

Bibi Dong landed between Ye Qifeng and Jin E, the three of them forming a triangle.

Seeing Bibi Dong again, Ye Qifeng was immediately captivated.

Six years had passed, yet Bibi Dong was still as stunningly beautiful as ever. Her features were nearly flawless, and time had left no trace upon her. She still looked barely over twenty.

The noble, elegant, sacred, and tranquil aura around her had only grown stronger, making people unable to help becoming immersed in it.

Her brilliant purple-gold gown draped from head to toe, the Nine-Curved Purple Gold Crown atop her head shining with countless rays of light, and the Pope Scepter in her hand glimmering with precious radiance all made her unconsciously exude nobility and holiness, stirring the urge to bow in worship.

"Rise."

Bibi Dong casually waved her jade-like hand and spoke indifferently.

Her pale violet eyes looked toward Ye Qifeng in the center of the hall, and her heart was somewhat stirred.

I never expected the one to awaken a God-level Martial Soul to be that child. Could it be that fate truly exists? Is this Heaven's compensation for me?

Bibi Dong suppressed the excitement in her heart. The Second Worship was still watching from the side.

She turned to face Jin E, her lovely face expressionless as she gave him a slight bow. "Second Worship."

Although Bibi Dong held no particular resentment toward Jin E, she did not think highly of him either. Jin E was Qian Daoliu's staunch supporter and was loyal only to the Qian Family.

She said to Jin E, "Second Worship, I cannot give you this child."

"Mm? Pope, are you defying the Worship Hall's order?"

Jin E looked at Bibi Dong, his tiger-like eyes narrowing slightly.

Yet Bibi Dong seemed not to hear the threat in Jin E's words. Not only did she refuse to yield an inch, she even flashed directly in front of Ye Qifeng, placed her jade-like hand on his shoulder, and pulled him behind her delicate body, guarding him as if protecting food.

Then she opened her lips and directly declared her claim over Ye Qifeng. "This child belongs to me!"

"How dare you!" Jin E had not expected Bibi Dong to be so unreasonable as to simply seize him outright. Having been one step too slow, he was furious and was about to unleash his Soul Power.

Bibi Dong refused to back down. Her attitude was firm as she struck the Pope Scepter in her hand against the floor, producing a crisp ding.

Soul Power surged through her body, guarding against Jin E suddenly making a move.

Seeing the two of them standing before everyone with swords drawn and bows bent,

Ye Qifeng rubbed his forehead, sighed helplessly, and finally spoke. "Could you perhaps listen to what the person involved wants?"

Both of them turned to look at him.

"You..." Bibi Dong's jade lips parted.

"Don't worry." Ye Qifeng gently patted her soft hand twice and gave her a reassuring look.

At that moment, Bibi Dong's mind suddenly cleared considerably, and the anger in her heart subsided somewhat.

This feeling is exactly the same as six years ago, when this child helped me break through to the Title Douluo realm. Bibi Dong's eyes widened slightly.

Ye Qifeng did not notice Bibi Dong's unusual reaction and stepped out from behind her.

At that moment, Jin E smiled and said,

"Kid, are you interested in joining our Worship Hall? As long as you agree, you can have anything you want. What do you say?"

Before Ye Qifeng could reply, Jin E added, "But first, you must come with me to meet someone."

"Alright, I'll go with you." Ye Qifeng answered without hesitation. He knew that the person Jin E wanted to take him to meet was most likely Qian Daoliu.

"No!" The moment she heard that, Bibi Dong grew anxious and immediately stepped forward to stop him.

"This is his choice. Pope, it would be best if you did not interfere," Jin E said, stepping forward.

"His Holiness the Pope, I'll go with this Consecrator first. I'll come back to see you later," Ye Qifeng said to Bibi Dong, once again giving her a reassuring look.

"Fine!" After pondering for a moment, Bibi Dong finally stepped aside. At the same time, she said in a cold voice, "But you must come back to see me!"
