The Pope Loves McDonald's / What? Transformers?!
That seems a bit foolish.
"Ugh, this is so troublesome... After the poison is cured, I'll switch back to my original... younger self's body."
The Pope remarked with such emotion.
(Rabbit Man: Just like I thought before!)

When Cong Yu found Yaochuan Guang and the others in the crowded square, he was still fiddling with his familiar yet unfamiliar monk's robes.
It's familiar because a long time ago, he would wear this outfit every day, running around spreading his own gospel.
The reason for the unfamiliarity is...
The monks' robes of today, apart from retaining some of the previous designs, are quite different from what they used to be.
Previously, they were mostly pure white, but now the styles are black and white... which is more in line with modern aesthetics.
"Cong Yu- chan, over here... Wow, so handsome!"
Yaochuan Guang blinked, looking at Cong Yu dressed in monastic robes, somewhat surprised. "Their temperament matches so well."
Amidst Yaochuan Guang's praise, Lantian Zhu seemed to be pondering something. "Why did you specifically change your clothes...?"
It was clearly stated that passersby and casual believers could wear regular clothes.
Are you a believer?
Lantian Zhu said this, while Cong Yu pondered briefly, then smiled confidently.
I think I am.
Chapter 765 The Pope Loves McDonald's's
"On this solemn and sorrowful day, we gather in this sacred place to mourn the passing of Pope Fanmilion VII."
"Brothers and sisters, I stand here, feeling both humility and a heavy responsibility, crowned with glory, carrying on this mission."
"Lambs, do not Sorrow, for he has returned to heaven."
"..." Rambling on and on.
It was quite obvious that Dente was reading from the speech prepared on the small table in front of her... after all, no one expected her to memorize it.
However, even after she took off her chic trench coat and put on heavy formal attire, her image remained quite dignified.
The halo above his head is also quite impressive.
He does indeed have a somewhat holy appearance.
As Cong Yu was thinking this, Yaochuan Guang, who was with him in the believer's quarters, couldn't help but say, "Dente, you've grown up..."
Upon hearing this, even Lantian Zhu, who had maintained a calm expression throughout, couldn't hold back and burst out laughing.
Cong Yu's expression was also difficult to keep up.
Growing up is fine... but I've "matured" more.
I just don't know how many harvests a year...
However, Cong Yu knew why Yaochuan Guang would say that... after all, Dente's image had indeed improved considerably.
It wasn't very good, though.
But for those who had seen Dente before, who looked like a street thug, the difference was indeed quite significant.
"Because she knew she wasn't reliable, but she quickly learned how to make herself appear more reliable."
As she spoke, Tereido, dressed in a nun's habit, approached, her voice tinged with a touch of melancholy.
Or rather, she was the one who felt the most awe.
Dente used to be just her little follower, someone she found amusing and just played around with... Later, she found out that Dente was the Pope's granddaughter.
It's fine if she's a granddaughter; it doesn't really matter.
After some time, I heard that Dente had been chosen as the next pope... and after some more time, the old pope was gone.
At least physically, it's no longer convenient for him to appear in public.
For no apparent reason, Dente was forced into a succession ceremony some time ago and became the new pope.
"We won't be able to play the goldfish fishing game anymore."
Tereido said with some regret... but what she meant by "fishing for goldfish" was actually using money to seduce Dente.
It's really boring.
It can only be said that the way Tereido and Dente get along fits the stereotype that Yaochuan Guang and the others have about "rich people and rich people's lackeys".
However, Dente will probably not be short of money after that.
The only thing to worry about is how much of the Church's funds she will embezzle and put into her own slush fund.
Dente was unaware of the rumors circulating about her; she was basking in glory and wearing papal robes.
He was reading from a script.
"With boundless compassion and wisdom, he guides us on the path of light..."
"The days we have lived are as nothing in the Father's sight; but the number of our lives guides our path forward."
We are currently recounting the achievements of the former Pope, and there will be a moment of silence afterwards... The square may be quieter then.
It might not be convenient to complain like it is now.
Thinking this, Cong Yu looked up and listened to Dente's reminiscence of "[Joseph Fanmilion did XXXX things in XXXX year]".
He couldn't help but glance at Old Deng, whose face was expressionless.
"Don't you feel awkward listening to this?"
For Cong Yu, attending her own funeral as the former "old man," now a beautiful young pope... was naturally quite awkward.
Listening to those prayers, she practically dug a three-bedroom, one-living room, one-kitchen, and one-bathroom space out of the ground with her toes.
"Finally, let us pray together for the Father's grace and blessings, and for the departed to rest in peace in Heaven. Here we pray..."
In Dente's closing remarks, countless believers began to pray... and even the Pope's aged body was brought out.
The next step was the ceremony of placing the coffin into the three-layered coffin.
Hopefully Dente hasn't forgotten too many procedures...
With this in mind, Cong Yu glanced at the Pope, whose expression was becoming increasingly tense, and then looked away.
I want to offer comfort, but I don't know how to start.
After all, not everyone has the experience of "watching their own body being put into a coffin".
The same applies to attending one's own funeral.
The Pope may not be the only one, but at least... oh wait, Miss Chi You is about to attend her own funeral.
It's truly remarkable.
However, the scale of the funeral (or resurrection?) on Chi You's side will probably be inversely proportional to the scale here... referring to the level of excitement.
Some people die surrounded by thousands of people.
Some people are afraid that their resurrection will be disrupted, so they dare not tell anyone and can only break the seal quietly.
Hehe, Chi You, how embarrassing.
(Chi You:???)
--
"Whoa!"
Dente let out a strange cry, pounced onto his bed, and quickly threw off his heavy clothes.
"Wow, it's Vaffanculo! Fuxk the red deer--"
Dente, the current Pope who usually presents a dignified and upright image to the outside world, was now hurling insults in four languages, displaying a completely lacking manners.
But that's normal.
After all, it was her first time attending such an event, and she had to work hard to remember all the etiquette and maintain her composure at all times.
Dente was already exhausted from dealing with reporters and the media when he took over the position.
I'm even more tired today.
I'm so tired...
"Aaaaaah!"
She rolled around in a frenzy, but even in this outburst, the current pope's imposing presence remained astonishing!
It is in no way inferior to...
Freshmen who have just entered university!
At that moment, Dente felt as if a lion was hiding in his eyes, filled with anger towards worldly authority and rules.
This mundane burrito is so tacky it makes you want to kneel!
Dente made them stand...
What? You're kneeling before me? I could accept that...
It's alright, but Dente really doesn't want to host the next similar event; he'd better just let Selena do it.
(Selena:???)
Thinking this, Dente, lying on the bed, quickly saw the lion as a louse...
It's beyond saving. (Sad)
Then, Dente remembered something, quickly sat up, pulled out his phone, and started typing away.
[Church-Devouring Squad (4)]
[Dente: I'm starving! I'm starving! Get me something to eat!]
[Tereido: I'm watching your grandfather and Selena talk about something related to Fate, Torredo I want to hear it.]
[Tereido: Torredo hang in there.]
[Dente: I'm starving! I'm starving!--]
[Dente: I'm starving!]
[Dente: I was hungry this morning, and it's almost noon now!]
[Dente: Help! I'm starving!]
[Cong Yu:...]
[Cong Yu: What would you like to eat?]
[Dente: Okay, okay, I want McDonald's's. Just buy a lot, five or six meals, put it on the Church's tab.]
[Cong Yu:...]
Cong Yu glanced at the group name and fell silent... "If you can bankrupt the Church in your lifetime, I'll just write your name backwards."
Each character is individually flipped left and right!
[Cong Yu: Chichu]
He's already the Pope, how come he's only got this much potential?
Chapter 766 What? A car and a person?

"Piano Soul? Piano Soul?"
In response to the voice coming from a guitar, a reply came from the direction of a small black-and-white piano and synthesizer, "Now call me 'Keyboard Soul,' I've changed careers."
Yes, episode 22.
A youth league cadre with Piano Soul suddenly discovers that he can not only possess the piano, but also the keyboard.
The keyboard mentioned here does not refer to a physical keyboard with letters for typing, but rather the keyboard that is frequently mentioned in bands.
