Douluo: The Second Lady of the Worship Hall, decisive in killing

Chapter 284 His Holiness the Pope Cooks Personally

"I'll take care of the administrative matters today, and we'll go to the Killing City with you tomorrow."

Bibi Dong picked up her pen again and began dealing with the official business at hand.

"Thank you, Your Holiness..."

Before Ye Xi could finish expressing his gratitude, Bibi Dong's voice rang out in the study.

"Always calling him Your Holiness the Pope is a bit too formal."

"If you don't mind, you can call me Aunt Dong. If you do mind, you can continue to call me His Holiness the Pope."

As Bibi Dong spoke, she looked up at the proud Qian Renxue, thought for a moment, and added, "Xue'er, you can call me whatever you want, whatever you feel like."

Upon hearing this, Qian Renxue glanced at Bibi Dong discreetly, but still remained silent.

After thinking for a moment, Ye Xi still called out "Aunt Dong".

"Aunt Dong, we'll head back now."

Ye Xi glanced at the hand that Qian Renxue was holding, and was about to turn around and leave.

"Xue'er, Xi'er, why don't you stay for dinner at the Papal Palace tonight?"

"I cooked it myself..."

Bibi Dong looked up at the two figures preparing to leave.

Ye Xi then turned his gaze to Qian Renxue, waiting for her answer.

Qian Renxue slowly turned around and looked at Bibi Dong with a suspicious gaze.

More than 20 years have passed, and she only found out today that Bibi Dong could actually cook.

Facing Qian Renxue's suspicious gaze, Bibi Dong quietly met her gaze.

After a moment, Qian Renxue nodded gently: "Okay."

After uttering just two words, Qian Renxue took Ye Xi's hand and left the study.

Watching them leave, Bibi Dong smiled.

"Moon Pass."

Bibi Dong uttered two words softly.

"His Majesty the Pope."

Yue Guan knelt on one knee, his voice very respectful.

"Go find me a cookbook, I want to take a good look at it."

Bibi Dong's tone was exceptionally serious.

"Forehead……"

"Yes, His Majesty the Pope."

After Yue Guan agreed, she silently left the study.

……

Pope's Palace.

On the cobblestone path, Ye Xi turned his gaze to Qian Renxue.

"Sister, I have a question."

"pope……"

"Aunt Dong, do you really know how to cook?"

Hearing Ye Xi's question, Qian Renxue looked at Ye Xi with a blank expression.

Although there was no answer, Ye Xi already knew the answer.

sunset.

Soon, it was time for dinner.

In the dining room of the rear hall, Ye Xi and Qian Renxue sat at the dining table, waiting quietly.

In the quiet restaurant, the occasional sound of porcelain breaking could be heard.

Ye Xi's gaze kept drifting towards the kitchen, a vague sense of unease creeping into her heart.

Ye Xi and Qian Renxue locked eyes, neither speaking, simply waiting quietly.

Time passes bit by bit.

About three hours later, Bibi Dong came out of the kitchen carrying three bowls of porridge.

"Well, there was a slight mishap along the way, so it might not be as plentiful as usual."

Bibi Dong placed the porridge in front of the two of them, coughed lightly, and avoided Qian Renxue's gaze.

"fine."

"Two or three dishes are fine, it's just to fill our stomachs anyway."

Qian Renxue, who was not present, turned her gaze to the white porridge in front of her. From the outside, the porridge looked fine, with some red beans added to it.

"Sigh, we don't have two or three dishes..."

Bibi Dong coughed lightly, her tone somewhat unnatural.

"Not even three dishes?"

"After working for several hours, you can't just get three bowls of porridge, can you?"

Qian Renxue's eyes showed surprise.

Under Qian Renxue's gaze, Bibi Dong nodded slightly.

The restaurant fell silent instantly.

Ye Xi glanced at the somewhat silent atmosphere and carefully examined the porridge in front of her.

"Plain porridge should be fine, right?"

After considering it in his mind, Ye Xi picked up the soup spoon and took a small sip.

Noticing Ye Xi's actions, Qian Renxue and Bibi Dong both turned their gazes towards him.

"what about the taste?"

Bibi Dong asked aloud.

Hearing Bibi Dong's question, Ye Xi first looked at Bibi Dong, then at Qian Renxue beside him, blinked his azure eyes a few times, and remained silent.

He didn't swallow the porridge he was holding in his mouth.

Finally, under the watchful eyes of the two, Ye Xi first spat out a red bean. The red bean landed on the table with a crisp sound, clearly indicating that it was not ripe.

"Uh, the rice isn't cooked yet."

"Aunt Dong, how about we have the maids cook this? There might be something wrong with the ingredients today, which is why..."

Ye Xi gave an awkward but polite smile.

"Um……"

"There was definitely something wrong with the ingredients today. Another day, another day I'll cook something properly myself."

Bibi Dong nodded in agreement.

Qian Renxue didn't speak, but just stared at the table quietly, her hand resting on Ye Xi's leg.

After a while, the maid prepared a few more dishes, and the three of them ate a few bites before returning to their respective rooms to rest.

……

The next day, in the morning.

Qian Daoliu took out the Angel Sword from the Douluo Hall, and led the two elders, Jin E and Guang Ling, out of the Hall of Worship and headed towards the direction of the Papal Palace.

We arrived at the entrance of the Papal Palace.

Bibi Dong, Gui Mei, Yue Guan, Ling Yuan, Ye Xi, Qian Renxue, and others were waiting at the door.

Why wasn't a carriage prepared?

Qian Daoliu looked at Bibi Dong.

"I was going to prepare, but Seele said it wasn't necessary and we could just use our spatial abilities to get there."

Bibi Dong replied, then turned her gaze to Ye Xi.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Ye Xi released his Killing Angel Martial Soul, with six soul rings—three purple, two black, and one red—flashing continuously.

Upon seeing the blood-red spirit ring, both Qian Daoliu and Bibi Dong showed surprise.

To be precise, apart from Qian Renxue, everyone else stared in astonishment at the blood-red soul ring on Ye Xi's body.

Despite their surprise, no one asked any questions.

Ye Xi opened a spatial rift in front of him and took the lead with Qian Renxue, followed closely by the others.

Once everyone has entered the spatial rift, the spatial rift will gradually disappear.

……

In a dense forest.

A spatial rift suddenly appeared, and Ye Xi, Qian Renxue, Bibi Dong, Qian Daoliu, and others walked out of it.

Looking around, Bibi Dong looked at Ye Xi with a puzzled expression: "Xi'er, it seems that we are still quite a distance from Hell Road in the City of Slaughter."

Bibi Dong asked softly.

"My soul power is quite depleted, so this is the best I can do."

"It's only an hour or two away from Hell Road, so we can walk there."

Ye Xi shrugged helplessly.

Upon hearing this, no one said anything more, and instead headed straight for the Hell Road.

They were very fast; in the blink of an eye, they had disappeared from the spot.
