Pretty Boy

The two spent half a day together peacefully without any further interaction.

Suddenly, Qian Xunji transmitted his voice again:

"Dong'er, I plan to take the Angel God Trial tomorrow. It will take 108 days to recover. I'll be entrusting the Spirit Hall and Xiao Xue to you during these 108 days."

"Okay, I understand."

"Don't you have anything you want to say to me?"

"Don't steal Xiao Xue's Ninth Trial."

"Waaaaah, Dong'er, I'm so sad."

"Serves you right."

Don't you ever miss me?

"Heh, only your own daughter and your own father think about you. Who else would think about you?"

No, I'm afraid even your own father might not miss you; he's probably still angry with you.

"Oh dear, I'm so pitiful, I'm all alone."

Yes, that's right.

"Dong'er, don't you pity me?"

"Serves you right."

"Dong'er, may I hold you for comfort?"

"Cannot."

Please.

"Cannot."

Please.

"Roll."

Please~ I'll miss you so much if I don't see you for a full 108 days.

"Hehe, Dong'er."

The next day, the Papal Palace

Qian Xunji gave Bibi Dong Bibi Dong a final briefing, while simultaneously teasing her until she gritted her teeth in anger. Seeing that Bibi Dong was about to truly lose her temper, he dashed off to find Qian Renxue.

After playing with Xiao Xue for half a day, he got up and headed to the Douluo Palace.

"Father, I've come for the Divine Trial."

Qian Daoliu nodded calmly and said:

"Don't you plan to wait until level 99 to come back? Maybe you can inherit the legacy of the Divine Ancestor."

"No need, Father. Let Xiao Xue inherit the legacy of the Divine Ancestor. Xiao Xue will surely carry on the mantle of the Divine Ancestor."

Qian Daoliu sighed softly, nodded, and turned to begin preparations for the Divine Trial.

After half a day of preparation, Qian Daoliu took one last deep look at Qian Xunji, then turned and left the Douluo Palace, closing the door behind him. Only Qian Xunji remained inside.

With Qian Xunji's seclusion, the entire continent seemed to fall into an eerie calm.

Having basically achieved its temporary strategic goals, the Spirit Hall began to conserve its strength and expand its influence across the continent. One Angel Church after another was established throughout the continent, and Soul Master Identity Credential began to be printed at an alarming rate.

There are even rumors that if one wants to awaken Martial Soul in the future, one must first pray to the Angel God for an hour.

This caused widespread panic across the continent, with people fearing a war between the Spirit Hall and the Two Great Empires. After all, news of discord between the Spirit Hall and the Two Great Empires had been circulating for decades.

Especially after the death of Pope Qian Xunji and the near annihilation of the Clear Sky Sect, followed by the Continental Advanced Soul Master Conference, many Commoners believed this was a harbinger of war.

However, as soon as the rumor began to spread, the Two Great Empires and various sects immediately took action to suppress it.

They even publicly proclaimed that the new Pope Bibi Dong was a peace-loving woman, that this meeting resolved many conflicts and dispelled many prejudices, and that in the future, the Two Great Empires would cooperate deeply with the Spirit Hall to create a better future together.

The Spirit Hall Daily, leveraging its widespread influence across the continent, also urgently refuted the rumor.

Seeing the influence of the Spirit Hall Daily, the Two Great Empires and several major sects also began to establish their own Newspaper Office. After all, cooperation is one thing, but the Spirit Hall cannot control the entire situation.

However, their influence is destined to be no match for that of the Spirit Hall.

Of course, it cannot be described as completely calm.

After all, Tang Xiao received a lot of help from the Spirit Hall at the meeting.

For example, the Spirit Hall took the initiative to help the Clear Sky Sect Clear Sky Sect find work and help them pay off their debts as soon as possible.

"What? They want us to go to the Spirit Hall and help them build a city?"

"Impossible! I am a noble Soul Master, a disciple of the prestigious Clear Sky Sect. How could I do such menial work? Even if Soul Master are to do it, it should be the big shots of the Defense Clan and the Strength Clan who do it."

Tang Xiao's old face was somewhat unpleasant, but there was nothing he could do. The Defense Clan Defense Clan indeed be involved in the city-building mission, but their main role would be to supervise them.

However, he has already contacted Tai Tan and plans to have the Strength Clan join him in building a city to help their Clear Sky Sect pay off its debts.

As for whether the Strength Clan would agree, he had no doubt whatsoever, after all, he knew the loyalty of that old servant Tai Tan.

"Sect Master, could we not go? We've both lost an arm, and our strength is much weaker than before. We'll be much slower at working."

"Yeah, yeah, and my wife was just tricked away by those bastards from the Spirit Hall a couple of days ago, I'm heartbroken right now."

"Waaaaah, I heard that after the women of our Clear Sky Sect were tricked away by the Spirit Hall, they were forced to remarry. It seems that my Juan'er has already remarried! My Juan'er!" Tang Zhanliang, who was heavily pregnant, cried out.

"Alright, shut up. Our Clear Sky Sect must go on this mission. I plan to split our Clear Sky Sect into two groups, with half of our members going each time. Each group will work for three months, rotating continuously."

"Sect Master, how long will this take?"

"This... I don't know either."

"That despicable Tang Hao!"

"Ancestor, I miss you so much! Qian Daoliu of the Spirit Hall has gone too far!"

Holy Soul Village

Having just settled Ah Yin Ah Yin a cave, Tang Hao staggered back to his newly purchased home like a homeless man.

"Huh? Where's the Little Three? Never mind, let's go to sleep."

Old Jack's family

"Where is Tang Hao? He just left a newborn baby home alone. If it weren't for me, he probably would have starved to death. Ugh! He didn't even clean up down there! So much poop! How long has it been since he changed it?! It's almost rotten!"

Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan

"Has there been any news from Xiao Gang yet?"

"Brother, we really can't find him. We've searched Spirit City, Notting City, Heaven Dou City, and all the places he frequents. I even searched Flender and Er Long's place."

"Sigh, well, at least he hid fast! He just finished cursing and then hid away to enjoy himself! He got off easy! The reputation of my Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan is going to be ruined because of him!"

Once I catch him, I'll make him give me a grandson as soon as possible! It'll be like having a secondary account! If he doesn't want to, I'll drag him and do it for him myself!"

"Brother is wise."

"Also, have you noticed that the Eighth Worshipper and Bibi Dong seem to have a rather unusual relationship?"

"This... it does seem true. Several times I've seen them exchanging glances that seem like flirting, and their conversations are like playful banter."

"Hahaha! Good! We've finally found an opportunity to disgust the Spirit Hall! Spread the word secretly! The new Pope of the Spirit Hall Bibi Dong, has a chaotic private life! She's having an affair with the Eighth Worshipper! No! It should be said that she's keeping Xiao Bai! I've long disliked Yang Tian's stinky face!"

"What if they're just in a normal relationship?"

"Whatever, let's spread the word first. What if we accidentally get lucky?"
