His Holiness the Pope Is a Foot Fetishist?! Calling Her Mom?

As Bibi Dong's gaze shifted,

the viewers in the livestream room froze too.

[???]

[What's with this rather suggestive close-up?]

[Is this a food showcase?]

[There's no such thing as feet this perfect!]

[o(╥﹏╥)o]

[You're just drooling so hard you're crying!]

[So translucent, so pale with a hint of pink—who wouldn't drool?]

[If Gu Xingzhou were a woman, I'd accept it!]

[Get out of here! To me, those feet are food-grade!]

[Tang San sure knew where to pick!]

[Wait, what if we've misunderstood the plot of Emergency Rescue Theater all along?!]

[It's not Artificial Respiration at all?!]

[It's... sucking out the venom?!]

[Huh???]

[They're not actually going to do it, are they?]

[Bibi Dong is the Pope! His Holiness the Pope of Spirit Hall!]

[The most powerful woman on the entire Douluo Continent!]

[If she really kisses Gu Xingzhou's foot, that's even worse than kissing him on the mouth!!]

[If she kissed him on the mouth, you could at least say Bibi Dong wanted Gu Xingzhou and forced him into it.]

[But if she kisses his foot, the Pope's dignity will truly be swept into the dirt!]

[That's beyond humiliating! And pretty perverted, too!]

[...Huh? That's perverted already?]

[Honestly, it seems pretty tame to me. I've got other, bolder ideas—and other places...]

[???]

[That's way too bold...]

[Could they even show that?]

[Elite Livestream Room]

[Ning Rongrong: Huh? Is she really going to kiss his foot?]

[Xiao Wu: What's the problem? Gu Xingzhou's foot is pretty clean.]

[Bai Chenxiang: ???]

[Bai Chenxiang: I mean, sure, but cleanliness isn't the issue, is it?]

[Xiao Wu: So what? It's much better than kissing him on the mouth! If Bibi Dong kissed Gu Xingzhou, he'd be getting the raw end of the deal! That's his first kiss! Bibi Dong is an old woman!]

[Xue Beng: How are Tang San and Gangzi supposed to feel when you put it like that?]

[Yu Xiaogang: ...San, I...]

[Tang San: ...Teacher, don't say it. I know what you mean...]

[Liu Erlong: ...]

[Xiao Wu: ??? @Xue Beng, where did you come from?]

[Xue Beng: I've been lurking the whole time. I bet plenty of people in this Elite Livestream Room are doing the same.]

[Xue Beng: I meant to stay quiet, but even His Holiness the Pope of Spirit Hall couldn't escape. In this Fanfiction Livestream, everyone's equal. We'll probably all get dragged into it whether we speak or not, so we might as well say what we want.]

[Xue Qinghe: ...]

Inside the theater,

Bibi Dong stared at Gu Xingzhou's exquisite foot and fell silent for several seconds...

Just as the livestream viewers had guessed, she was terrified of what might happen next!

Compared to kissing his foot, she would rather give Gu Xingzhou Artificial Respiration!

Because she had realized that, without noticing, she had ended up on her knees, holding Gu Xingzhou...

Even after moving to his feet and lifting the injured, poisoned one, she was still kneeling!

What did that mean?

It meant that she, the lofty Pope, was on her knees, humbling herself to kiss the foot of an ordinary man beneath her station!

No matter how handsome he was, he was still an ordinary man without power, strength, or status!

What an insult!

If this had happened in some hidden corner where no one would ever know, that would have been one thing. But this was being broadcast to everyone!

His Holiness the Pope, whom countless people ordinarily revered and feared, would lose all face!

Even if people praised her to her face, they would still remember the sight of her kneeling and kissing Gu Xingzhou's toes!

How was she supposed to command the people of Spirit Hall after that?

Yet however unwilling she was, her body moved on its own.

Closer and closer... Right in front of everyone, she even sniffed his foot and looked enraptured!!!!

She said nothing, but her expression said it all!

Then...

Bibi Dong finally began the rescue, drawing out mouthful after mouthful of poisoned blood and spitting it onto the floor...

[This livestream room is terrifying!]

[His Holiness the Pope, licking an ordinary man's foot!]

[What's terrifying about that?]

[This livestream room is amazing!]

[Where else would you get a show this exciting?]

[That's the Pope of Spirit Hall!]

[I have to say, when someone's beautiful, even this is a pleasure to watch!]

[If it were Gangzi and Tang San, I'd throw up last night's dinner!]

[True...]

[But once this show's over, I think Gu Xingzhou's life is over too.]

[Will Bibi Dong really spare Gu Xingzhou after being humiliated like this?]

[What humiliation? I saw her close her eyes and enjoy it!]

[Besides, Gu Xingzhou's so young and tender. She's an old woman getting the better end of the deal!]

[Joke all you want, but if you were Gu Xingzhou, wouldn't you be scared?]

[Huh? If I were Gu Xingzhou, I'd be over the moon! The Pope licking my foot? Even dying afterward would be worth it!]

At last, Bibi Dong drew out the final mouthful of poisoned blood. Gu Xingzhou seemed to be slowly regaining consciousness... But his eyes remained tightly shut, and he murmured something too faint to make out...

Of course, Gu Xingzhou was acting.

He had been watching Bibi Dong's reactions the whole time. Right now, she clearly felt deeply humiliated!

As the Ordinary Livestream Room had speculated, she might well kill him to vent her anger once the performance ended.

And yet...

Gu Xingzhou was not worried in the slightest. He had written the script and decided what would happen. If he dared to arrange this scene, he naturally had no reason to be afraid.

Because he was the only person on the entire Douluo Continent who understood its underlying code.

The Douluo Continent was also known as the Continent of Love; at its foundation lay the Love God's code. Bibi Dong was already a hopeless romantic, and his looks, his age, the pitiable innocence he displayed—his helplessness, obedience, and sweetness—had triggered her maternal instincts.

She hated that her daughter Qian Renxue had been born, but that did not mean she was truly incapable of maternal love...

So, to trigger the code, Gu Xingzhou murmured just as Bibi Dong's humiliation was turning to fury: "Mom..."

"...?"

"What... did you call me?"

Bibi Dong froze on the spot. But Gu Xingzhou still appeared unconscious, as though he were talking in his sleep. Unaware of what she had said, he went on murmuring to himself, "Mom..."

At the same time, he instinctively reached for something to hold on to. Seeing Gu Xingzhou look all the more pitiful in his apparent unconsciousness, Bibi Dong's heart softened at once. Without thinking, she leaned closer and let him wrap his arms around her. Still seemingly unconscious, his hands fumbled for a while before finding her waist, then clung to it and refused to let go...

The sight stunned the entire Douluo Continent!

But before the livestream room's viewers could launch into another discussion,

at the Heaven Dou Imperial Palace, Qian Renxue, disguised as Xue Qinghe, saw the scene and immediately bristled!
