Old Geezer, Old Man, Old Acquaintance / Papal Candidate Dente
But now she's been told that some members of the Church actually think she's too dangerous and want to seal her away.
"This is never-ending... Brother Cong Yu, I'm so tired."
Xiao Cui muttered, complaining somewhat aggrievedly, and sighed, "I've killed enough, I don't want to kill anymore."
Somewhat distraught and exhausted, Xiao Cui collapsed towards Cong Yu, lying on her lap like a kitten.
At this moment, Xiao Cui realized once again that Cong Yu and that "black uncle" were indeed experienced people.
After killing many people, you become numb. You won't turn into a serial killer; in fact, you might even find the act of killing intentionally exhausting.
As expected of an elder, their insight into the world is truly clear.
"It's alright. Now many people know you used Extinction Formula, and they'll probably finally be afraid... It'll be over soon."
Cong Yu stroked Xiao Cui's head, listening to her purring. "Besides, we don't necessarily need to kill anyone this time."
"Although some people in the Church want to harm you, without exception, they are all terrified of you."

The video about "[Adorable little fairies appear in the Wind City, cute as monsters, and we tried our best to film them]" has recently become a hit on Metabus.
The events that occurred before Wind City, that Verdant Storm, have already come into the view of many, making the already messy situation of "Xiao Cui" and "Nagashima Koki" even more complicated.
The Pope was clearly aware of these developments, but he would naturally hesitate about how to handle them.
Dealing with Extinction Formula is very troublesome.
If not handled properly, then forget about the "Fate of Human Survival"—it'll all be over on the spot.
Therefore, barring any unforeseen circumstances, the Church will likely need to discuss Xiao Cui's matter for a considerable time before reaching a conclusion... and that conclusion is very likely to be quite conservative.
They'll probably argue for at least two and a half years.
However, as a kind-hearted person from Wind City, Cong Yu naturally did not want the Church to be too preoccupied with this matter.
"Old Deng!"
Cong Yu's angry shout instantly awakened the Pope sitting on the throne... and in the next instant, Cong Yu appeared in the solemn cathedral with Xiao Cui.
At this moment, the cathedral was not only filled with the Pope, but also with Brad Fanmilion and other high-ranking cardinals.
The scale of the attack was larger than when Cong Yu had previously arrived.
However, the impact is limited... Moreover, Cong Yu is no longer the same young and impetuous man he once was; he is now a completely different person.
"Ah?!"
"Who is this?!"
"How did they get in? I didn't sense any trace of the spell..."
"Who goes there?!"
"..." Amidst the uproar, Cong Yu nodded to Brad, who was frowning, and then looked directly at the Pope.
The Pope clearly knew Cong Yu...
He still remembered that afternoon—the afternoon when Cong Yu rushed in to kill him, forcing him to hide under a chair.
"Protect the family..."
Before the Pope could finish speaking, Cong Yu immediately interrupted, "Old Deng, shut up! The person next to me is the host of the Extinction Formula!"
As she spoke, Cong Yu looked around, searching for any possible members of the Holy Guard: "If you dare utter another word, I'll kill her!"
Xiao Cui: "???"
Xiao Cui was stunned, but she immediately understood what Cong Yu meant. She summoned a Little Sprite and shouted, "That's right, if you dare to say another word, I'll kill myself!"
"..."
"Gah..."
Amidst the old Pope's voice, which sounded like a duck being strangled, everyone present recognized Xiao Cui... the Little Sprite.
The entire cathedral was as quiet as a large library at this moment.
Everyone was drenched in sweat.
Chapter 600 Old Deng, Old Man, Old Acquaintance
Xiao Cui has had enough. She's really had enough.
Finally, Xiao Cui understood where the "Mortal World" in the Fairyland came from...
Some of them might be from [Fairyland
The world was World Destruction after its former master was killed, but more likely it was activated directly after being annoyed to death.
Honestly, just imagine how devastated Xiao Cui would be if she hadn't met Brother Cong Yu and everyone else.
Amidst these relentless attacks and malice, even with the support of her "family," her heart is nearly shattered.
If she hadn't met her family, Xiao Cui didn't think her self-regulation skills were strong enough to reach that level...
It's 100% operational.
Thankfully, the Church didn't disgust him... It seems that Brother Cong Yu knows the Pope, and they're old acquaintances.
But whether the relationship is good or not is hard to say.
"Old Deng! Weren't you quite the talker just now? Were you about to call the Holy Guard to kick me again?"
Laughing mockingly, Cong Yu stood beside the Pope's seat, reached out and grabbed his neck. "Hahaha, surprised? Unexpected?"
Most of the bishops present were angry but dared not speak out.
The Pope, however, looked utterly miserable, letting Cong Yu put her arm around his shoulder. "This... no, no, how could I dare?"
With an awkward laugh, the Pope was furious, his beard bristling and eyes bulging, but his tone was meek. "Well, the Holy Guard is also facing a shortage of capable men... the Church is in a tough spot too."
"Hahaha... haha... ha..."
The Pope smiled awkwardly, trying not to provoke Cong Yu, and cautiously glanced at Xiao Cui... He was still quite quick-witted.
Although Cong Yu just said something like "[I'll just kill her!]", it's clear that he came here for Katsuki Ruri.
Even if it's possible that he found the host of the Extinction Formula as an accomplice to seek revenge... the revenge for being brutally beaten by "Full Fill" before.
But since they haven't come knocking on our door for so many years and have even started cooperating with the Church, they wouldn't have waited until now to seek revenge.
Therefore, it's highly likely that he wants to question him about the recent discussions and hostility towards Katsuki Ruri within the Church.
And that is indeed the case, but before that...
"Is this how you treat your guests? Do you think wine will grow legs and magically appear in my glass?"
Faced with Cong Yu's arrogant yet cheerful demeanor, the Pope could only manage a wry smile, "Yes, yes, let's go... I'll take you to the reception room."
As he said this, the Pope, seemingly "swept up in the Cong Yu," led the way, waving to the bishops. "Bring out the cellared clerical wine..."
As he gave this instruction, the Pope, with his completely white beard, sighed with emotion, "So many years have passed, and you seem to have hardly changed."
Lifespan is truly a hurdle that humanity cannot overcome.
"You've only met me once, haven't you?"
Cong Yu responded by releasing her grip on the other man's neck and following him down the corridor, "As for you, Old Deng, it's quite unexpected that you didn't die of old age... You haven't turned into a freak, have you?"
Upon hearing this, the Pope's expression became even more complicated. He glanced at Xiao Cui, who was following behind Cong Yu: "No."
Speaking so briefly, the Pope's tone was surprisingly firm. "I am human, and always will be... Death cannot change my will."
That's a pretty cool way to put it.
Perhaps this is the kind of persistence that the so-called "leader of humanity" should have... Cong Yu couldn't understand it, but she was willing to respect it.
They didn't even offer the excuse that "my soul is still human, I am human," leaving themselves no way out.
"Ha, I feel like I'll be able to kick your tombstone a couple of times soon."
As she said this, Cong Yu followed the Pope into what appeared to be a large reception room, casually remarking, "It's good to live a long life; the people you want to kill just slowly die."
Upon hearing this, the Pope, whose face had been resolute, immediately frowned. "I shouldn't have let you go back then!"
"..." Seeing the two people take their seats, Xiao Cui stuck out her little bottom and sat down next to Cong Yu. She looked at the old Pope and then at Cong Yu.
After a brief moment of contemplation, Xiao Cui came to the conclusion. "So, you really are friends... What a strange way you get along."
Hearing Xiao Cui's words, Cong Yu couldn't help but smile and explained, "Actually, it's not strange. To put it simply..."
"When I was young and reckless, I wanted to kill this old man, but I almost got beaten to death and had to slink away."
The Pope stroked his beard, his face full of disgust, in response to Cong Yu's words. "Don't think you can just dismiss it with a simple 'youthful arrogance'."
What else? Do you want me to tell you that I scared you so much you hid under the chair? Right now? In front of a child?
Cong Yu's eyes conveyed this message, while the Pope fell into deep thought... Well, it's probably best not to say anything then.
Xiao Cui, however, felt she understood and said, "Then, after Brother Cong Yu fled in panic, Old Deng, you didn't send anyone to chase after him... right?"
That is indeed the case, although there were concerns such as "Is this a diversionary tactic?" and "They're running so fast, it seems like even if we catch them, we can't kill them."
However, it is true that the Pope let Cong Yu off the hook.
But that wasn't what the Pope was concerned about at that moment...
"Old... Old Deng?"
Pope Joseph Fanmilion was shocked, he was furious... in the extreme
In his anger, he glared directly at Xiao Cui.
Then!!!!
"Children shouldn't say such things... My name is Joseph Fanmilion, you can call me Grandpa Joseph."
The Pope spoke in a humble and amiable tone.
There was nothing he could do... Xiao Cui was the host of the Extinction Formula, and he didn't even dare to speak loudly, let alone scold her.
Xiao Cui nodded, indicating that she fully understood. "Yes, I understand, Joseph... old man."
"..." The Pope's face immediately fell, and just as Cong Yu was about to say something with a half-smile, several nuns walked in with wine and glasses.
After pouring drinks for the three of them, he left the bottles there.
"They actually gave it to me... I was just saying it."
Cong Yu said this, then looked at the Pope, completely unconcerned about whether or not there was red wine. "Well then, let's get down to business."
"..." Xiao Cui blinked, looking at Cong Yu and the Pope, who showed no intention of touching their glasses or drinks, and couldn't help but sigh.
The way adults talk is truly fascinating.
Fine, if they won't drink, I will.
Thinking this, Xiao Cui curiously picked up the wine glass and sipped it like she was drinking cola: "Slurp—"
Xiao Cui: "..."
Holy crap! This red wine is absolutely awful!!!
"..." Ignoring Xiao Cui's shocked expression, Cong Yu simply offered her opinion. "I only have one thing to say... You must manage your subordinates well."
"As long as you do nothing, the Extinction Formula will be safe. But if you try to be clever, then it's really hard to say."
The Pope's expression turned rather bitter. "Oh dear, this is a difficult situation for me too. My subordinates always have their own ideas, and it's hard for me to stop them."
Difficult to handle? If it's difficult, then don't do it!
"Then give me the list of people who support the 'sealing,' and I'll go slap them both, blow their heads off, and see if they still go crazy."
As Cong Yu spoke, he reached out and cracked his knuckles, making a crisp "snap" sound, expressing his attitude.
Pope. "..."
"What are you saying! I am the Pope!"
As he said this, Joseph Fanmilion's eyes were resolute. "Of course I can handle matters within the Church! You can rest assured!"
"..." Xiao Cui: 6
Is this how quickly an adult can change their expression?
