"Your Excellency, who is this...?"

On the plane back to the Vatican, the flight attendants looked at Ye Shu with grim expressions as he chewed on a foxtail grass.

"This one?"

Feng Xi blinked, then affectionately hugged Ye Shu's arm, squinted her eyes and smiled, "This is my new husband."

"Hello there."

Ye Shuchao gave the flight attendant a polite smile.

He is indeed a very warm, sunny, and cheerful handsome guy, if you ignore the double-barreled shotgun on his back.

Flight attendant: "........."

The Holy Maiden must have been kidnapped by the Human Emperor.

Although they didn't understand why the Emperor didn't act immediately, but instead sat in his chair with a friendly expression.

But that doesn't stop the flight attendants from barbecuing.

We must use a subtle method to signal to the Papacy that the Emperor has arrived!

Damn it... what should I do?

After a moment's thought, the flight attendant gave Feng Xi a standard professional smile.

"Miss Saint, I think you should call the Pope. After all, he's getting old and has high blood pressure. If he sees that you've suddenly brought home a... husband, things might not go well."

"oh....."

Feng Xi nodded. "You're right. I'll call the Pope right now."

She took out her phone and dialed the Pope's number.

.............

St. Peter's Basilica in Vatican City.

"What have you bunch of good-for-nothings been doing all this time? We've been training the Holy Maiden to make her appear pure and innocent on the surface, but with a heart of a viper inside—that's what our doctrine is all about."

"And what did you train them to produce?"

"Only purity remains!"

The old pope, standing before the cross of Ye Shu, spat and pointed at the many believers below, cursing them.

"You've ruined this saintess; find someone else to carry out the mission."

However, no sooner had he finished speaking than the phone rang.

The old pope glanced at the contact person—the saint.

"Fengxi? Why is she calling at this hour?" The old Pope frowned as he answered the phone. "Hmm? Is this Saintess Fengxi? What's wrong? Is she having trouble with her mission to contact the Human Emperor?"

Regardless, the pretense still needs to be done.

If the foolish saintess were to betray us, we'd be completely doomed.

"No, Your Holiness the Pope."

A cheerful voice came from the other end of the phone.

"The mission was completed very easily. The Human Emperor was immediately seduced by my beauty, and now I'm on my way back by plane with the Covenant of the Gods."

"What...what did you say???"

"You brought back the covenant of the gods?"

The old pope's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets when he heard this.

"Yes." Feng Xi nodded matter-of-factly, then looked at Ye Shu, who was sitting upright to the side.

Everyone thought she was stupid, but she's actually incredibly clever.

If you can't find the item, isn't that simple? Just bring the person over! The item is definitely on them!

"Good, good, Fengxi, you did a great job."

The old pope, far away in the Vatican, had no idea that his holy maiden was flying towards the Vatican with the human emperor himself.

His mouth was practically crooked from smiling.

"Fengxi, you truly are the pride of the Holy Court! When you return, I will have the entire Holy Church crown you!"

The cardinals below exchanged bewildered glances.

So fast?

How did you manage to obtain the Covenant of the Gods in just one day?

If the Holy Maiden hadn't been so kind and incapable of lying, they would have suspected she had betrayed them and become the Emperor's spy, thus enabling her to wipe them all out.

"Thank you, Your Holiness."

Feng Xi gave a sweet reply and then hung up the phone.

"very good."

In the Vatican, the old Pope nodded with satisfaction.

"Now let us wait to hear the Lord's gospel, surrender our covenant to Him, and He will grant us entry into His Kingdom, where we will ascend together to Heaven!"

He opened his arms, and the wrinkles on his face smoothed out, as if he could already see his glorious future sitting with God.

Meanwhile, a plane was slowly landing outside the Vatican.

"Is this the Vatican?"

Ye Shu squinted as he got off the plane.

In the distance, dense clusters of pointed-roof buildings stand side by side, neatly arranged. "It's such a small place, but it has a kind of small-but-beautiful charm; it's only about the size of sixty basketball courts."

"This is where I grew up."

Feng Xi looked sentimental.

The flight attendant had returned to the cabin the moment they disembarked and was screaming towards the cockpit, "Hurry! It'll be too late if we don't leave now!"

The weather is fine and sunny; it's a good day.

Ye Shu cracked his neck and walked towards the Vatican. "So, who exactly sent you to find me?"

"It was the priest. He said you would destroy the world."

"A priest?"

..........

Vatican City, a confessional in a church.

The priest was sitting in the dimly lit confessional, idly flipping through the Bible in his hands.

There were very few people coming to confess today. He had been sitting there all afternoon and had only heard about a few minor transgressions—stealing apples from the neighbor's yard, telling a little lie to his wife, and secretly reading magazines he shouldn't have...

boring.

Just as he was getting ready to leave work.

boom!

The small cabinet in the confessional was suddenly kicked open.

"Who is it? How rude!"

The priest had just frowned when a cold, black gun barrel was pressed against his forehead.

"So you think you're the priest?"

The priest immediately raised his hands, cold sweat pouring down his face.

"Big...Big brother, please don't kill me."

"I'm asking you this: how come some idiot suddenly claims I'm a demon king destined to destroy the world, and that I need to form an alliance with the gods? What's going on?"

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

The priest stammered:

"The bishop told me to say that to the saint. I was just following orders. Please let me go!"

"Damn it, looks like I have to go see the bishop!"

Ye Shu put away his gun.

"That's right!"

The priest's eyes lit up immediately.

"The bishop's office is at the far end of the first floor of the largest church in the Vatican."

"Okay, let's go."

Ye Shu turned around, put away his gun, and left with Feng Xi.

..........

The first floor of St. Peter's Basilica in the Vatican.

boom!

A pair of large feet kicked the door open.

"Bishop, get out here!"

"Huh?!" A middle-aged man in a red cross-studded vest turned around abruptly, looking completely bewildered. "Who are you, sir?"

"So you're the one who sent Fengxi to kill me, aren't you?"

Ye Shu pressed the double-barreled shotgun against the bishop's forehead, the cold muzzle instantly filling the bishop with terror.

"Big brother, big brother, calm down first."

"I just can't calm down."

"Brother, I didn't give the order for the Holy Maiden to go find you. It was the Pope who suddenly said he wanted to go find some kind of covenant of the gods." The bishop repeatedly denied it, afraid that Ye Shu might kill him if he was unhappy.

"Is it that old man with the white beard?"

Ye Shu frowned and asked.

"Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes."

The bishop nodded repeatedly. "You can go find him."

"Looks like I'll have to go and meet him."

Ye Shu put away his gun and slowly walked towards the top floor of the church, where the Pope was located.

However, just as he stepped in to enter...

A hand blocked his way.

"Don't move. You know you'll be searched before seeing the Pope?"
