Poor Yue Guan and Gui Mei

Protect any one of them, and make her undying and indestructible!

As soon as Wu Xing finished speaking, a huge commotion erupted in the chat group.

Whether they were the Shrek Three Beauties or the Martial Soul Hall Three Beauties, whether it was Dugu Yan or Shui Bing'er, Ah Rou or the Blue Silver Emperor—even Bo Saixi was deeply shocked by those words.

The entire Chat Group fell deathly silent in that moment.

Though Wu Xing's tone was calm, without the slightest ripple, his words were like thunder crashing across a clear sky, striking every person straight in the heart.

Everyone present knew just how heaven-defying the words undying and indestructible were.

They had seen the items in the Group Mall and learned a glimpse of Blue Star through the Chat Group's translated annotations. They knew that Wu Xing, their Group Leader, certainly wasn't joking.

He really could do it, and he wasn't just saying it to make himself look good.

Looking at the silent Chat Group, with not a single message appearing for ages, Wu Xing couldn't help secretly curling his lips into a smile. He was so pleased with himself he could barely contain it.

That boast of his had been enough to leave them stunned for a long time!

The impact and sheer swagger were both off the charts. He wanted to give himself a pat on the back.

Of course, he hadn't said anything untrue. With the Custom Cheat, although his strength was only at level thirty-nine, he could make any living being in these worlds, born from Blue Star, undying and indestructible.

That was the source of his confidence—and the gift Mother Blue Star had given every transmigrator who ventured abroad!

No one knew how long passed. It might have been a minute, ten minutes, or even longer. Eventually, messages began flooding the chat again.

[Ning Rongrong: Brother Wu Xing, you're so mighty and imposing! Rongrong wants to have your babies.]

[Dugu Yan: Esteemed Group Leader, you're unrivaled across the myriad worlds. Yan Yan is yours from now on.]

[Xiao Wu: Brother Group Leader, you're the greatest! Xiao Wu will follow you from now on.]

[Zhu Zhuqing: Lord Wu Xing, you're unfathomably powerful. Zhuqing is willing to brave fire and water for you.]

[Ning Shui Fei Luan: Esteemed Group Leader, your vision is astounding. From now on, I'll follow your lead.]

[Xue Qinghe: Esteemed Wu Xing, your insight reaches the heavens. Qinghe is sincerely impressed.]

[Nine-Tailed Sky Fox: Big shot Wu Xing, you're infinitely charming. I'm your little fan from now on.]

[Sea God Island High Priest: Magnificent Group Leader, you command heaven and earth. Sea God Island is willing to worship you.]

[Ah Rou: Benefactor Group Leader, you gave me a new life. I'll remember it forever. From now on, I'll do whatever you say.]

[Blue Silver Emperor: Supreme Group Leader, you're invincible across the heavens. The Blue Silver clan is willing to follow you.]

Watching the waves of flattery roll in, Bibi Dong was dumbfounded. She saw that she was the only one who hadn't sent a message, and grew so anxious she scratched at her head.

But she'd never flattered anyone before!

As the Martial Soul Hall Pope, she was used to others bowing and scraping before her, showering her with praise. When had she ever lowered herself to curry favor with someone?

Her face flushed red, then pale, and the icy aura around her fell into disarray. She was nothing like her usual cold, dignified self.

But as she watched the chat fill with one stream of praise after another, her mind went blank. She couldn't force out a single sweet or flattering word.

She had spent her whole life proud. Lowering her head to flatter someone made her even more nervous than facing Qian Xunji, yet she couldn't afford to go against the crowd.

What was that saying? Those in power might not know who below them laughed, but they always knew who didn't.

If this Group Leader from Blue Star's higher dimension noticed that she hadn't sent anything and held it against her, what if something happened to her one day and he didn't protect her?

Given her status and standing, that was unlikely to happen—but what if?

Even Bo Saixi, the Sea God Island High Priest, a Peerless Douluo said to be on the same level as Qian Daoliu, had made her position clear. What gave Bibi Dong the right to hold back?

Besides, she'd already missed her chance with the picture earlier. If she did it again, who knew what he'd think?

With everyone else having already made their intentions clear, and her stuck there all alone, her heart tightened. Then, as an idea struck her, she raised her head and shouted toward the hall entrance.

"Gui Mei, Yue Guan! Get in here, now!"

Outside the hall, Yue Guan and Gui Mei were still wondering why His Holiness the Pope had been acting strangely today when they suddenly heard Bibi Dong's furious shout from inside. Both of them stiffened.

They didn't dare hesitate. Hurrying inside, they bowed and said, "Your Excellency."

Bibi Dong had no time to waste on them. Her brows furrowed, and her tone was both urgent and awkward. All the composure she usually showed in front of them had vanished.

"Enough nonsense. Quickly, think of a few flattering lines for me. Make them dignified, nothing embarrassing. Hurry!"

Yue Guan and Gui Mei froze, staring at each other, their minds crashing to a halt.

They had followed Bibi Dong for so many years and had only ever seen others strain every nerve to flatter the Martial Soul Hall Pope. They'd never seen her turn around and ask for help coming up with flattery.

Seeing the two of them standing there like idiots, unable to react for ages, Bibi Dong was so angry she wanted to kick each of them.

Weren't they usually so clever? Why did they always drop the ball at the crucial moment?

"Are you even listening? Hurry up!!!"

Bibi Dong roared, jolting them out of their stupor.

They exchanged a glance. Yue Guan quickly raised a hand and bowed, saying, "Your Excellency, may you reign for a thousand autumns and ten thousand generations! Under your leadership, the Martial Soul Hall will surely flourish."

"Your Excellency, you're peerless in the world. The Martial Soul Hall will surely unite the continent and shake the world," Gui Mei added, bowing quickly, his voice filled with utmost reverence.

At their answers, Bibi Dong's face turned black as the bottom of a pot. She raised her hand and slammed it hard against the armrest of the Pope Throne.

"I wanted to flatter someone else, not myself! Are your brains made of pig's brains?"

Yue Guan and Gui Mei shuddered in fright. They didn't even dare breathe loudly, quickly shrinking their necks, though their hearts were full of bitter tears.

Wasn't that what the words meant in general? Your Excellency, couldn't you just use those lines yourself?

Poor Yue Guan and Gui Mei. Their hearts were awash with bitterness, but they didn't dare defend themselves with a single word.

Bibi Dong glared at them as they stood there timid and helpless, and her anger flared again.

"Get out! Both of you, get out of here!"

Yue Guan and Gui Mei felt as if they'd been granted a great reprieve. They flashed out of the Pope Palace almost instantly, afraid that they'd be scolded again if they were even a moment slower.

At last, the hall fell quiet. Bibi Dong took a deep breath, a faint blush spreading across her face. She'd actually already figured it out. She'd only chased them out again because she wanted to keep up her dignified appearance and couldn't bring herself to admit how embarrassed she was.

[Bibi Dong: Esteemed Group Leader, your methods reach the heavens, your blessings know no bounds, your divine powers are peerless. You turn the tide of fate, sweep across the ages, and look down upon all the heavens. This Pope... Dong'er and the Martial Soul Hall await your esteemed arrival.]

[Ning Rongrong: ...]

[Xiao Wu: ...]

[Ah Rou: ...]

[Ning Shui Fei Luan: ...]

[Dugu Yan: ...]

[Xue Qinghe: ...You really have no shame. How shameless can you get? As the Martial Soul Hall Pope, does your family know you're this thick-skinned?]

[Nine-Tailed Sky Fox: ...Long live His Holiness the Pope! Long live the Martial Soul Hall! May Brother Group Leader reign through all eternity.]
