Douluo Continent: An Adventure Begins in Wuhun City

However, Bibi Dong used the pretext of offending the Pope to kill him on the spot, and his family was implicated. This caused everyone to be in a state of panic. No matter how much resentment they had, they dared not show it and followed Bibi Dong's lead.

Later, although the Clear Sky Sect was suppressed and disappeared, and the Spirit Hall won a great victory, Bibi Dong had no choice but to devote all her energy to work and cultivation to divert her attention because she had nowhere to vent her emotions and desires.

Therefore, this meeting was changed into a daily routine for the high-ranking members of the Spirit Hall, and she personally oversaw every matter, big or small, within the hall.

As a result, those who used to cheat and swindle no longer dared to make any underhanded moves. While the high-ranking members of the Spirit Hall were complaining, the overall security, revenue, and other aspects of the Spirit Hall reached new highs.

The improved quality of life and living environment have made Bibi Dong's image more deeply rooted in people's hearts, and her reputation among the city's residents has reached a new level.

This situation left the elders speechless, and they slowly began to accept the increasingly heavy workload within the Spirit Hall.

After all, for most people present, the Spirit Hall and Spirit City are their foundation, their families are rooted here, and they are naturally happy to see the Spirit Hall become more and more prosperous.

However, just when they had completely gotten used to it, they discovered today that their leader had actually led a strike!

For a moment, everyone looked at each other, and they could all see the bewilderment in each other's eyes.

"Ahem! His Holiness the Pope may have important matters to attend to today and is unable to come to the palace. You need not report minor matters. If there are any, you may pass them on to me, and I will report them to His Holiness the Pope."

Just as the crowd below began to stir, Chrysanthemum Douluo, one of Bibi Dong's two generals, stepped forward, stood in front of the crowd, coughed lightly, and said.

Upon hearing this, the other elders could only leave the Papal Palace with helpless expressions.

However, the next day...

Upon entering, I saw the still empty papal throne.

The elders: "."

"Well, His Holiness the Pope may not have finished dealing with matters yet, so please wait a little longer."

Chrysanthemum Douluo stepped forward again, but his smile was slightly stiffer than yesterday.

tenth day.

The papal chair is empty.

The elders: "."

Chrysanthemum Douluo: "."

Day 30.

Faced with that perpetually cold and empty seat, someone finally couldn't hold back any longer and ran to Chrysanthemum Douluo's side, saying with a helpless expression.

"Lord Yue, you are a confidant of His Holiness the Pope. Please go and persuade His Holiness the Pope. If things continue like this, I'm afraid trouble will break out!"

"Yes, Lord Yue, why don't you go and persuade His Holiness the Pope?"

Others nearby echoed the sentiment.

Upon hearing this, Yue Guan turned his head expressionlessly to look at the person who had come.

"Trouble? What trouble? You'll cause trouble?"

"Of course not."

Upon hearing this, the man panicked instantly and quickly denied it.

"Will you cause trouble?"

Yue Guan then turned her gaze to the people who had spoken earlier.

"Of course not."

Those people were also sweating profusely as they explained.

"That's settled then. If you don't make any mistakes, there won't be any trouble. His Holiness the Pope is very busy with official duties these days, so you all need to do your jobs well. If anything really happens, you will be held accountable."

With that, Yue Guan turned away with a cold expression.

A group of elders were left behind with strange expressions and inwardly grumbling.

What official business? Back then, they were all following the Pope to the Star Dou Great Forest to capture people. They knew exactly what the Pope was doing.

Even if they had strong opinions, they dared not show them. They didn't even dare to leave early. Even if they were bored, they would stay in the Papal Palace until the usual time for the meeting to end before daring to leave.

After all, no one knows when the Pope will finally be willing to come out.

If you're unlucky enough to leave early and get caught by the Pope, you might not end up like the one who stuck his neck out, but the outcome won't be much better.

They wouldn't gamble away their life savings just for a moment of ease.

At this moment, Yue Guan returned to his partner Gui Mei's side, looked at the empty papal throne above, a helpless expression on his face, and sighed softly.

"I never imagined our Pope had this side to him, neglecting state affairs for a man. What a femme fatale! Old Ghost, you've really taken on a good disciple!"

As Yue Guan sighed, he glanced at the silent ghost beside him.

Upon hearing this, the ghost did not turn around, but continued to stare ahead, speaking in a hoarse voice.

“My judgment has always been correct. Chen Yao was favored by His Holiness the Pope. For him, His Holiness the Pope almost turned the entire continent upside down in just three years. Who in the world can match such ability? Even with your level 94 soul power, you are nothing compared to him.”

His ghostly tone even carried a hint of pride; he was not ashamed of the current state of the Spirit Hall, but rather proud of it.

He didn't just collect that herb from Chen Yao for nothing.

Yue Guan was taken aback by the ghost's words, and was momentarily speechless.

He found it hard to believe that such shameless words came from his usually stern and aloof old partner.

Yue Guan's face twitched, but suddenly his eyes darted around as if he had thought of something. He moved closer to the ghost and said with a wicked grin.

“Old ghost, why don’t you try to persuade His Holiness the Pope? I believe that, given the bond between you and Chen Yao, His Holiness the Pope won’t make things difficult for you.”

However, upon hearing this, Gui Mei gave Yue Guan a disdainful look.

"Why don't you go? You're Chen Yao's senior uncle, I believe His Holiness the Pope won't make things difficult for you. You can have a good talk with His Holiness the Pope, and then I'll find an opportunity to collect your body."

Upon hearing this, Yue Guan felt a pang of sadness.

"Old Ghost, how come I never realized you could be so venomous?"

"Because my fists are more vicious, I usually don't need to use my words to solve problems. If you try to trick me again, I won't waste my breath. I'll let you taste my fists."

As he spoke, Ghost raised his fist, which was covered in soul power, and let out a cold laugh.

"Hmph, you old codger, you still have no sense of romance!"

Seeing this, Moonlight's expression stiffened. She gave a affected, coquettish snort, then quietly distanced herself from the ghost, stood to the side, and once again rested her chin on her hand, lost in thought.

Although he spoke in a lighthearted tone, almost jokingly, he was genuinely worried about the current situation.

Just as Yue Guan was scratching his head in frustration, he suddenly caught a glimpse of the magnificent and imposing sanctuary standing not far from the Papal Palace outside the window.

For a moment, a hint of interest flashed in Moonlight's eyes. Then, after looking around and seeing that no one was paying attention to him, he felt relieved and quietly disappeared.

The following day, Bibi Dong, who had been absent from work for many days, finally arrived at the Papal Palace.

Seeing this, the elders finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Out of the corner of their eyes, they secretly glanced at Qian Xunji, the former pope who was standing next to Bibi Dong. They couldn't help but wonder which genius dared to bring this up. Weren't they afraid of being held accountable by the pope later?

As everyone watched Bibi Dong sit on the papal throne, she did not begin the council as everyone expected. Instead, she reached out and abruptly overturned the documents and materials on the table in front of her.

In an instant, pages of paper flew everywhere in the Papal Palace, and everyone, including Qian Xunji, was stunned.

"You bunch of useless trash! All my previous plans have been for nothing? Are you all incapable of taking care of yourselves or what? Is it so hard to follow the orders I issued before? You have to report every little thing every day. Are you very free? If you are so free, go and clean up every street and alley in Wuhun City!"

"You dare to bring up the former pope? Do you think your teacher can put you in my place? Remember this: I am the pope now!"

Bibi Dong's roar and her somber expression terrified the elders.

Unexpectedly, their pope got so angry after his good time was interrupted that he didn't even respect the former pope and continued to curse him!

But listening to Bibi Dong's words, they felt wronged.

Because a few years ago, Bibi Dong also displayed this furious demeanor, overturning the table and pointing her finger at them while cursing.

"You bunch of good-for-nothings! Spirit City is the foundation of the Spirit Hall. Why differentiate between big and small matters? You must get every single detail right, and report to me at this time every day. If there's even the slightest oversight, you'll be held accountable!"

Bibi Dong's harsh words from the last time were still fresh in everyone's minds, echoing clearly in the minds of all the elders.

For a moment, they felt utterly helpless.

I'm so angry! Who understands this feeling of being wronged?

Qian Xunji, who was standing to the side, was also completely dumbfounded. Good heavens, is Bibi Dong going to overthrow the Heavenly Gang?

Despite his anger, Qian Xunji could only suppress his emotions and remain silent, knowing that Bibi Dong's reputation in Wuhun City was at its peak and her strength was becoming increasingly unfathomable. He planned to talk to Bibi Dong properly when no one was around.

"Who went to the Hall of Offerings? Step forward!"

At this moment, Bibi Dong rested her hands on the table, leaned slightly forward, her expression gloomy, and her scrutinizing gaze swept over each elder.

In an instant, everyone felt an unprecedented sense of oppression, their hearts trembled, and they all looked around, carefully observing the expressions on the faces of their colleagues, hoping to find out the bastard who went to the temple to complain and end their torment!

At this moment, Yue Guan stood calmly beside the ghost, looking down at his nose and trying his best to hide his guilty conscience. His back was already soaked with cold sweat without him even realizing it.

He hadn't expected that Bibi Dong, who had been disturbed, would actually do something so big; otherwise, he wouldn't have dared to do it even if he had a hundred lives.

At that moment, he glanced at Qian Xunji out of the corner of his eye, with a hint of pleading.

Hopefully, Qian Xunji won't expose him, otherwise, he'll probably suffer a lot.

Qian Xunji noticed Yue Guan's expression and understood his gaze. He nodded subtly, giving Yue Guan a reassuring look, and then stepped forward.

"Alright, you may all return now. Each of you should perform your duties diligently and not neglect them. As for future matters within the city, since the Pope is currently very busy with official duties and cannot spare the time, please submit the documents to the Hall of Worship for my review and decision."

As Qian Xunji's voice fell, the elders felt a sense of relief, but none of them dared to leave. Instead, they cautiously looked at Bibi Dong.

"Get out of here! Do you want me to take you home?"

Seeing everyone's gazes directed at her, Bibi Dong frowned and shouted sharply.

However, to everyone, this voice was like heavenly music, and they were all overjoyed.

"Your Holiness, we take our leave!"

Everyone bowed respectfully to Bibi Dong above and then slowly retreated to the doorway.

Once outside the Papal Palace, they all transformed into streaks of light and sped away as fast as they could.

After all the elders left, the noise in the Papal Palace subsided and it became quiet.

Qianxun shook her head, sighed, walked up to Bibi Dong, and offered her advice.

"Dong'er, I understand your joy at having something back, but you can't be so indulgent! It's been a month already, and some things really need to be done in moderation. Besides, you are now the Pope of the Spirit Hall, and you must set an example. The affairs of the hall cannot be neglected like this."
