"Seriously? Don't tell me you're possessed by a ghost?"
Ling Yuan joked, "Possible. By the way, did you just call His Holiness the Pope your brother-in-law?"
"Yeah."
Ling Yuan thought of the increasingly intimate relationship between Bibi Dong and Qian Xunji, as well as the fact that they had met the family. Her surprise gradually faded.
"By the way, Xiao Xi, I have a mission tomorrow. You have to come with me."
Bibi Xi froze, secretly delighted. This had to be his brother-in-law's arrangement.
He's deliberately creating chances for us to be alone.
Ling Yuan watched him grin foolishly. "What are you smiling about? This is a mission—a very dangerous one."
"That's exactly why we should go together."
"Don't you know adversity reveals true feelings? Besides, with a Soul Ancestor like me helping you, the mission is guaranteed to go smoothly."
"Hmph, narcissist."
"Tell me what happened these past few days."
"Sure. Let me tell you, in Anping Village, my brother-in-law slept in the same room as my sister."
"What?"
Ling Yuan whipped around, her eyes going wide. "His Holiness the Pope and the Saintess... slept together?!"
"Shh—keep it down!"
Bibi Xi quickly made a silencing gesture. "I don't know whether they did anything else, but they definitely slept in the same room."
Ling Yuan covered her mouth, her eyes brimming with shock and the gleam of juicy gossip.
"Were there any details?"
"Details? How would I know? It's not like I could squat outside their door and eavesdrop."
"But judging from how lovey-dovey they were during the day, things should be progressing quite smoothly."
Ling Yuan digested this earth-shattering piece of gossip. After a long while, she muttered, "So... His Holiness the Pope gave you an Immortal Herb and benefits... because he's paving the way for the future?"
"Exactly!"
