Qian Xunji looked at his appearance and was silent for a moment.
Finally, he sighed and waved his hand, "Okay, get up."
Yue Guan stood up tremblingly as if he had been granted amnesty.
"I can't do such a small thing well."
"Go back and remember better next time."
"Yes, yes! Thank you Mian, your subordinates must have long memories and strong memories."
"Hmm."
Then, Yue Guan left Pope Palace.
Qian Xunji sat alone in the empty hall, looking at the dancing candlelight, and sighed again.
Saintess Hall Outside, the night is already dark.
Qian Xunji stood in front of the door holding the cold food. He hesitated for a moment, then raised his hand and knocked on the door.
The person who opened the door was not Bibi Dong, but the maid on duty.
Seeing the Pope, she quickly saluted. "See His Holiness the Pope."
"Did Saintess sleep?"
"Your Majesty, Saintess has gone to bed."
The maid replied in a low voice that she actually knew that Saintess was not asleep, but Saintess had ordered "everyone said I was asleep" and she did not dare to disobey it.
Qian Xunji was silent for a few seconds.
He knew that if he insisted on going in, the maid would not stop him, and Bibi Dong would not really kick him out.
But doing that... would be too distasteful.
In the end, he just handed the food in his hand to the maid. "These... send them in for her."
"Yes." The maid took it respectfully.
Qian Xunji glanced at the palace door again, then turned and left.
Under the moonlight, his back looked a little lonely.
The maid watched him go away, then quietly walked into the palace carrying the food box.
She came to the door of the dormitory and knocked gently. "Master Saintess, His Holiness the Pope has sent something."
It was quiet for a while, then Bibi Dong's muffled voice came. "What?"
"Some food."
"Where's the teacher?"
"His Majesty has already left."
After a while, the door opened from the inside.
Bibi Dong stood at the door, his eyes red, obviously he had cried.
She was wearing a plain white nightgown, with her long hair hanging loose.
She glanced at the food box in the maid's hand and pursed her lips.
So hungry...
I drank half a bowl of porridge this morning, didn't eat at lunch, and didn't eat at night...
But... this was sent by the teacher...
She hesitated in her heart, and finally remembered what Ling Yuan said.
"Master Saintess, remember, no matter how angry you are, you can't starve yourself. You can have men, but you can't eat without food, and you have to eat well!"
"Bring it in."
"Anyway... food is the most important thing for the people. If I have enough to eat, I don't have to spend any money."
The maid held back her laughter, placed the food boxes on the table, and opened them one by one.
Bibi Dong sat down at the table and picked up a candied haws.
She hesitated for a moment, then took a bite.
But... I don't know why, but my favorite candied haws on a stick seems a bit boring now.
The maid stood aside, looking at her appearance, hesitated for a moment, and then asked in a low voice, "Master Saintess... are you and His Holiness the Pope... having a conflict?"
Bibi Dong moved for a moment, then shook his head. "No."
The maid wisely stopped asking any more questions and bowed, "Then... you can use it with ease, I will leave first."
"Hmm."
After the maid left, the palace became quiet again.
Bibi Dong put down the candied haws on a stick and looked at the food on the table.
"Teacher, the big liar... is obviously not here at Research Institute."
"It would be great if Ling Yuan was here... There is no one to complain to now..."
Frost Flower Town The mountain forest outside looks particularly eerie in the night.
The forest is filled with the smell of rotting leaves and earth, and occasionally the call of a night owl can be heard in the distance.
A woman with disheveled hair was running away in the jungle.
Her dress was torn by thorns, her face was stained with mud and blood, and she was breathing heavily.
She looked back in horror from time to time, despair written all over her face.
"You Spirit Hall... do you have to push me to a dead end?"
In mid-air, a graceful figure cut through the night.
Ling Yuan spread out the shadow of Blazing Spirit Kite Martial Soul, suspended above the treetops.
She had a stern look on her face, and she was surrounded by red flames Soul Power, which dispelled a bit of the darkness around her.
"Do you still have to ask?"
"After killing so many innocent civilians and using living people to practice evil skills, you should have known that there was only one way to die."
As soon as she finished speaking, First Soul Ring lit up on her body. "First Soul Skill·Fire Line Slash."
Several red flame blades shot out from the wings and slashed towards the woman on the ground.
The woman suddenly stopped and turned around, with a ferocious expression on her face. "Demon Puppet Summoning!"
In an instant, thick Black Mist surged out from her body, and in the mist, three twisted figures slowly condensed into shape.
That was her Demon Puppet, completely black, with a stooped body, disproportionately slender limbs, bone spurs in the joints, and green will-o'-the-wisps dancing in the hollow eye sockets.
"Demon Puppet Assault!"
The three Demon Puppet rushed towards the flame blade fearlessly.
Black Mist collided with the red flames, making a hissing sound, and the air was filled with a strange smell of burnt odor and sulfur.
The flame blade was canceled out abruptly.
When the woman saw this, she turned around and ran away again.
She knew very well that once Spirit Hall's support arrived, she would have no way out.
But at this moment...
"First Soul Skill·Poison Silk Entanglement!"
Several spider threads were seen flying from the bushes on the side and wrapped around the woman's limbs and neck.
The paralyzing toxin attached to the spider silk penetrates through the wounds on the skin.
Her body stiffened and her movements suddenly slowed down.
"Ah, it's this damn poisonous thread again!"
The woman cried out in pain and tried to struggle, but found that her hands and feet were becoming increasingly inoperable.
Bibi Xi jumped out from behind the tree and landed not far away.
"Ling Yuan, good opportunity!"
"I know!" Ling Yuan responded, and Sixth Soul Ring lit up on his body.
"Sixth Soul Skill·Soaring Kite Split."
A loud bird song echoed through the forest.
Ling Yuan The flames all over his body skyrocketed, and his whole body turned into a blazing fireball, and his wings soared into the sky.
The next second, the flame changed rapidly in the air and condensed into a virtual shadow of Blazing Spirit Kite with a wingspan of more than five meters.
The giant bird raised its head and let out a cry, then swooped down and pounced on the woman on the ground.
"No!"
Blazing Spirit Kite flame hits the target.
The red flames instantly engulfed the woman, and she turned into a burning human-shaped torch, rolling crazily in the forest and screaming.
"Ah--! Remember this! I curse you and Spirit Hall all of you to die miserably!"
Bibi Xi stood not far away, looking at the figure struggling in the flames.
"In the next life... let's say this again."
The flame gradually extinguished.
On the ground, only a charred corpse was left, smoking and lifeless.
Ling Yuan converged Martial Soul and descended slowly.
Her face was a little pale. The battle this night had taken a lot of energy out of her.
She walked over to the body, inspected it, and confirmed it was dead.
"Mission accomplished."
"The cooperation just now... was done well."
Bibi Xi's eyes lit up. "Really? Then... is there any reward?"
Ling Yuan rolled his eyes at him. "Reward? Tell His Holiness the Pope."
