Blood Relatives' Blood Was No Use? Unless...
Suppressed sobs echoed in the empty hall.
Ye Hua's lips twitched, and he patted her back.
How do I explain to her that Bibi Dong didn't die, but was actually ambushed by a god?
But less than ten seconds later, the crying in her arms stopped abruptly.
Ye Hua looked down and saw the delicate body pull away from his embrace, coughing repeatedly.
Ye Hua's heart skipped a beat, thinking she had cried herself to sleep.
Just as I was about to help, I saw Hu Liena suddenly straighten her back!
He wiped his face frantically with both hands, trying to clean up his tears!
"With our teacher gone, the heavy responsibility of the Spirit Hall rests on my shoulders!"
"The situation is urgent, and I have decided to ascend the throne before the coffin!"
"From this day forward, I am the 487th Pope of the Spirit Hall!"
Ye Hua's outstretched hand froze in mid-air.
Hu Liena turned around, Bibi Dong's throne.
I bow respectfully, bow three times!
"Don't worry, teacher, the Spirit Hall won't cause any trouble."
"I will give you a grand burial, and let your pet Demon Spider be buried with you!"
Ye Hua:...
"The Spirit Hall cannot be without a leader for even a day," Hu Liena straightened her back, her expression solemn. "The foundation laid by my teacher cannot be ruined in my hands."
"As the saintess... no, the new Pope, I have an inescapable responsibility!"
Ye Hua's face twitched violently, and the corners of his mouth turned up, almost uncontrollably.
"My dearest husband," Hu Liena said sweetly, "You shall be my advisor!"
"Huh?" Ye Hua was stunned.
"Pope advisor, huh?" Hu Liena shrugged. "No need to get involved, just hold the position."
Ye Hua was both amused and exasperated. "How can you be so sure I'd agree?"
"We're family, so let's not speak like outsiders, and we shouldn't let the good stuff go to outsiders!" Hu Liena said confidently.
"I've just ascended the throne and am easily sidelined. Why don't you support me?"
"Furthermore, this way you can legitimately mobilize the Spirit Hall!"
Ye Hua put his hand to his forehead, momentarily at a loss for words.
It seems the Pope is not yours...
"And—" Hu Liena added fuel to the fire.
"Stop!" Ye Hua raised his hand to interrupt.
Trying to straighten out this peculiar thought process.
"Okay," Hu Liena took a deep breath, "We'll discuss the compensation later!"
"I'll go and call Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo in to discuss important matters!"
Seeing that she was really heading towards the door, Ye Hua grabbed her.
"Nana," Ye Hua said with a half-smile, "How can you be so certain that you will ascend the throne?"
"I am a saint," Hu Liena blinked, "And the successor personally chosen by my teacher."
"Have you ever considered," Ye Hua slowly began, "that Qian Renxue be crowned Pope?"
Hu Liena tilted her head...
"The Spirit Hall has always had Pope of Angel Bloodline." Ye Hua seemed to be looking at a [naive and innocent girl].
"Bibi Dong ascended to the throne as a saintess because Qian Renxue was too young at the time, and the Spirit Hall could not be without Pope."
"But now, Qian Renxue has become a god, possessing the true Angel Bloodline, and is in her prime. The Worship Hall only recognizes her."
Hu Liena looked blankly at them, "But Uncle Ju and the others just knelt down on one knee to greet me..."
"They are your teacher's confidants, of course they support you," Ye Hua explained.
Hu Liena snapped back to reality. "So, that means?"
"Mm." Ye Hua nodded.
Hu Liena's face turned pale.
As long as she competes with Qian Renxue, it will inevitably trigger internal strife within the Spirit Hall.
The Worship Hall faces the Papal Palace, the Worshippers face the Elder, and even the Disciples form opposing factions.
Yan and her brother Xie Yue will definitely side with her.
But those who have received favors from the Worship Hall will naturally stand on Qian Renxue.
Division is imminent!!!
"Then I won't compete!" Hu Liena blurted out, "Let Qian Renxue take the lead, I'll withdraw!"
In any case, once she takes the throne, the Spirit Hall will fall apart, and her teacher's legacy will be destroyed.
Ye Hua shook his head. "It's not that simple."
"What now?" Hu Liena asked, puzzled.
"What about your teacher's influence?" Ye Hua asked, looking at her.
As the old saying goes, "A new emperor brings a new court."
"To avoid being purged, they will forcefully push you!"
"No way?" Hu Liena's eyelids twitched wildly.
She still wants to talk!
Surely there's some possibility of peace at all?
"A peaceful handover is difficult." Ye Hua saw through her thoughts.
"With the two factions estranged for a long time, even if those in power are lenient, they will still be purged."
"It's simply a matter of avoiding bloodshed, assigning them idle positions to retire in, leaving them with no power, influence, or resources, which also weakens the Spirit Hall."
Hu Liena's vision went black.
She admitted that things were difficult.
It seems like every direction leads to a dead end.
"This won't work, that won't work!" Hu Liena scratched her head.
"Or perhaps you should revive your teacher." Ye Hua said, seeing that she had no other choice.
"The teacher can be brought back to life?" Hu Liena was shocked.
"No... it's not that I don't believe you, I just can't find the teacher's soul!"
God is always considered omnipotent.
But when faced with real difficulties, they are helpless.
Hu Liena found it hard to imagine where her soul could be trapped if even God couldn't be found.
"The soul is indeed the key." Ye Hua nodded, his fingertip touching Bibi Dong's brow.
"Only by finding one's soul can one awaken."
Ye Hua pondered for a moment.
Nowadays, there are probably only two options --
First, when Bibi Dong was about to become a god, she was betrayed by a god and her soul was trapped in the Divine Realm.
Secondly, he was still ambushed, but his soul was shattered.
Secondly, there's truly no way to save it!
Although Xiao Wu's mother's Spirit Bone are on Bibi Dong's [corpse].
But he promised Hu Liena that he would intervene if Bibi Dong were in danger.
"Where can I find it?" Hu Liena asked anxiously.
"I don't know," Ye Hua's eyes narrowed slightly, "But the fate of blood relatives is interconnected."
"As long as there is the blood of a close relative, I can rely on fate to anchor her soul."
"So that's how it is!" Hu Liena rushed to the palace gate. "Uncle Ju! Go and invite Qian Renxue! Quickly!"
Chrysanthemum Douluo hesitated, "Your His Holiness the Pope... this..."
"Go now!" Hu Liena said without hesitation.
Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo looked at each other in bewilderment.
I can't understand why Hu Liena invited her.
Mingming's ascension to the throne before the spirit tablet is a done deal, the safest course of action!
But seeing Hu Liena's stern face, he dared not refuse.
"What does Your His Holiness the Pope mean by this?" Ghost Douluo was bewildered.
"Heaven knows," Chrysanthemum Douluo sighed, "Just do it!"
"Don't forget, she is the Pope we have chosen!"
A moment later, Qian Renxue arrived.
Bibi Dong's incident has been well contained.
Seeing that the Papal Palace was under martial law and Hu Liena was there, Qian Renxue didn't think much of it.
Unexpectedly, half a day later, news arrived that Bibi Dong had died!
In an instant, a sense of relief and complex emotions welled up inside me.
"Nana, you were looking for me?"
"Eh? Ye Hua?"
Ye Hua explained the situation in a few words.
Qian Renxue's expression changed slightly, but she ultimately said nothing.
After all, she is my mother by blood.
He bit his fingertip and squeezed out blood.
"Place it between her eyebrows," Ye Hua instructed.
A drop of blood fell between Bibi Dong's eyebrows.
Silence engulfed everything.
"Squeeze out just one more drop." Ye Hua frowned.
Qian Renxue did as instructed, but there was still no response.
"Wait a minute." Ye Hua shook his head.
In an instant, the human form of Ye Hua vanished.
Standing there is a majestic Qilin!
Ye Hua roused himself and carefully sensed the surroundings.
Half a minute passed, but the expected golden line still hadn't appeared.
"How strange!" He reverted to human form.
Since they are blood relatives, why wasn't it used?
unless...
He looked up sharply and stared at Qian Renxue!
