Grand Elder, I Think Your Proposal Is Bullshit!

Inside the Pope's Bedchamber, Bibi Dong had just finished rewarding Lin Tian. She was now wiping the drool from her chest with a silk handkerchief.

She really hadn't expected Lin Tian's request to be a hug.

It was just that the way he hugged her was rather unusual.

Luckily, she had dismissed all the attendants before entering the bedchamber.

Otherwise, it would have been terribly embarrassing.

After tidying her clothes, Bibi Dong crouched down and looked at Lin Tian with a gentle gaze. She reached out, patted his little head, and said softly:

"Lin Tian, you have Twin Martial Souls and Innate Full Soul Power. Your talent is the best among your peers. But remember, the Soul-Eater Spider Emperor is geared more toward extreme offense, while the Death Spider Emperor leans toward control and defense. You must choose carefully when acquiring Soul Rings."

Lin Tian nodded to show that he understood.

With a genius Pope for a mother to guide him, his future was bright.

Just then, Ghost Douluo knocked on the bedchamber door and reported that someone from the Worship Hall had arrived.

At that, Bibi Dong's previously relaxed brows drew tight again.

After quickly tidying her appearance and clothes, Bibi Dong opened the bedchamber door. Outside stood a handsome young man in golden armor, chin held high, his face tinged with smugness.

When he saw Bibi Dong emerge from the bedchamber looking somewhat languid, displeasure filled his handsome face.

"Your Holiness the Pope, the Grand Elder wants to meet the child you appointed as Holy Son. Hand him over to me, and I'll take him to the Worship Hall to report back!"

"Also, a word of warning. Next time I come to the Worship Hall to deliver an order, you'd better be quicker. I'm busy and don't have time to wait for you!"

The speaker was none other than Qian Baoshan, vice commander of the Spirit Hall's Angel Legion and a sixty-second-level Soul Emperor.

"You come to my Pope Palace demanding someone, and you still dare to be this arrogant? Have you forgotten the thousand-year-old rules of Spirit Hall?"

"Ghost Douluo, break one of his arms. That should teach him a lesson!"

Bibi Dong turned to Ghost Douluo and signaled for him to cripple the man.

"Your Holiness the Pope, he's with the Angel Legion. Should we perhaps..."

Ghost Douluo didn't act immediately. Instead, he leaned close to Bibi Dong and quietly reminded her.

"Qian Daoliu has failed to keep his subordinates in line and broken Spirit Hall's rules, passed down for millennia. As Spirit Hall's Pope, I'll help him discipline his dogs!"

With that, Bibi Dong strode forward, grabbed Qian Baoshan's arm, and wrenched it clean off its socket with a powerful twist.

"Crack!"

A sharp snap of bone rang out. Qian Baoshan's right arm drooped limply, and the agony sent him rolling across the ground, wailing again and again.

"Silence!"

A glint of murderous fury flashed in Bibi Dong's rose-red eyes. She slammed the Pope Scepter down, and a surge of force struck Qian Baoshan, sending him flying.

Damn it!

That old bastard Qian Daoliu actually thought he could take away the little puppy she'd spent years raising. What a delusion!

After suffering one blow after another, Qian Baoshan no longer looked arrogant in the slightest. He fell to his knees and kowtowed frantically, begging Bibi Dong for mercy.

"Your Holiness the Pope, please forgive your subordinate's disrespect! I truly came here on the Grand Elder's orders. Please don't make things difficult for me."

Even with death staring him in the face, Qian Baoshan still tried to use Qian Daoliu to pressure Bibi Dong. He had no idea that this would only make his end more miserable.

"Good, good, good. Since you're so obedient to the Worship Hall, I'll send you to meet the Angel God!"

Seeing how determined he was to take Lin Tian away, Bibi Dong flew into a rage!

A terrifying aura burst from her body. Nine Soul Rings of different colors rose around her, their dazzling light shrouding her as the overwhelming pressure of a Titled Douluo crushed down on Qian Baoshan.

Under the crushing might of a Titled Douluo, Bai Baoshan, only a level sixty-two Soul Emperor, was tossed about like a leaf in a storm. The white feathers of the Four-Winged Angel Spirit behind him snapped beneath the violent pressure, and countless bloodstained feathers fluttered to the ground. The sight was truly pitiful.

"You're nothing but a dog at Qian Daoliu's heels. What gives you the right to swagger around here?"

Nine Soul Rings coiled around Bibi Dong as the full might of a Titled Douluo erupted. Her rose-red eyes brimmed with icy killing intent, and she exuded the air of a queen.

Just as Bibi Dong was about to kill Qian Baoshan, two figures, one gold and one red, appeared at the entrance to the Pope's Bedchamber. The terrifying pressure weighing on Qian Baoshan vanished in an instant.

"You've worked hard, Baoshan. Xiongshi, take him to get treated!"

After Qian Daoliu spoke, Mighty Lion Douluo stepped forward and helped Qian Baoshan to his feet.

"Grand Elder, this woman ignored your orders. Please punish her severely!"

Seeing the Grand Elder appear, the gravely wounded Qian Baoshan immediately whimpered like a kitten.

As vice commander of the Angel Legion and a member of the Angel Family, he had never suffered such humiliation.

Now that the family's big brother had arrived, he naturally had to complain.

"Xiongshi, take him to the Worship Hall. The Angel God will surely send divine power to heal an injured, devout believer."

Mighty Lion Douluo nodded and led Qian Baoshan away.

Once everyone had left, Qian Daoliu clasped his hands behind his back and fixed a curious gaze on Lin Tian, standing behind Bibi Dong. A trace of confusion flickered in his eyes.

As a transmigrator, Lin Tian took this opportunity to size up the strongest man in Heaven Dou.

He could hardly believe that such a top-tier powerhouse had managed to play such a strong hand so badly.

Knowing full well that Tang San harbored the evil intent to destroy Spirit Hall, Qian Daoliu should have sent several of the Worship Hall's elders to eliminate him before he became a god.

Even if he waited until the very end, when Tang San entered Sea God Island to undertake the Nine Trials of the Sea God, he should have gone there himself and executed that sanctimonious man instead of sacrificing himself.

Looking at this Peerless Douluo before him, Lin Tian couldn't help but feel sorry for him.

His son had died tragically, his granddaughter had lost her godhood, his daughter-in-law had passed away, and his own soul had dissipated, leaving not a trace behind.

Sigh, what a pitiable man!

"Your Holiness the Pope, this child awakened the Soul-Eater Spider Emperor and Death Spider Emperor Martial Souls. People outside are bound to gossip. For the sake of Spirit Hall's reputation, I hope you'll hand him over to me so I can raise him."

"After all, he'll progress quickly under the Worship Hall's care, and outsiders won't dare spread idle rumors."

"Your Holiness the Pope, what do you think of my proposal?"

Qian Daoliu turned to Bibi Dong, a trace of anticipation in his golden eyes.

"Grand Elder, I think your proposal is complete bullshit!"
