After dismissing Bu Kuaile, Qian Xunyi summoned Ling Yuan and Bibi Dong.
"Greetings, Your Holiness." Ling Yuan bowed naturally, while Bibi Dong was somewhat stiff.
"No matter what, Bu Kuaile represents my dignity. You accompanied him on his diplomatic mission to the Star Luo Empire and did not allow Dai Tianfeng to humiliate him. You are both meritorious subjects. I have never been stingy with rewards for those who have rendered merit."
Upon hearing this, a rare trace of anticipation appeared on Bibi Dong's stiff face. Had Qian Xunyi, that iron rooster, finally decided to pluck a feather? What reward would he give me—a Soul Ring or a Soul Bone? I would refuse none of his rewards, because I would enjoy using what he gave me to tear him to pieces. Bibi Dong thought viciously.
"Ling Yuan, would you prefer a Soul Ring reward or a Soul Bone reward?" Qian Xunyi asked. "If you choose a Soul Bone, I will grant you a Hundred-Thousand-Year Spirit Bone. If you choose a Soul Ring, I will grant you a Soul Pearl that can increase a Soul Ring's age by fifty thousand years. No matter which Soul Ring it is attached to, it can raise it by fifty thousand years."
Bibi Dong frowned slightly at those words. Where did Qian Xunyi get so many resources? Could they be the accumulations of Spirit Hall over ten thousand years? That must be it.
With that thought, Bibi Dong cursed inwardly. He is actually using a Hundred-Thousand-Year Spirit Bone and a Soul Pearl bestowed by a God Trial as rewards. What a wastrel. If I sat on the Pope's throne, these resources should be enjoyed by me, Bibi Dong, alone. As for subordinates, wouldn't a few Gold Soul Coins be enough to dismiss them?
