Douluo Continent: I just left the dragon's lair, and they want me to marry Bibi Dong.

Chapter 52 Presenting the Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower, and Setting Off Again for the Star Dou Great Forest, Qian Xunji Wants to Abdicate.

Soon, a woman dressed in a purple bishop's robe strode in.

With a slender figure and beautiful face, her eyes held a gentle grace. However, upon seeing so many important figures standing in the Papal Palace, she suddenly felt somewhat at a loss and quickly bowed, saying, "Greetings, Your Holiness the Pope, Your Highness the Holy Son, Your Highness the Holy Daughter, High Priest, Third Priest, Fifth Priest."

Qian Xunji looked at her, his tense expression softening instantly, and he spoke in a very soft voice: "Yuan'er."

Upon hearing this familiar address, Ye Yuan'er's body trembled violently, and she raised her head in disbelief.

Qian Xunji raised his hand and slowly removed the heavy papal crown from his head, revealing his usually gentle and handsome face.

He looked at Ye Yuan'er with tenderness in his eyes, as if afraid she wouldn't recognize him.

Upon seeing his face clearly, Ye Yuan'er instantly covered her mouth, her eyes reddening, and her voice trembling: "Brother Ji! Is it really you?"

Qian Xunji hummed in agreement and said, "It's me."

Ye Yuan'er finally came to her senses, her surprise instantly turning to shock. She took a half step back and stammered, "You—you're actually the Pope? That day—that day you clearly said you were just an ordinary deacon of the Spirit Hall..."

Qian Xunji smiled slightly and patiently explained, "If I had said I was the Pope back then, you wouldn't have taken me to the Lantern Festival like that."

Ye Yuan'er suddenly realized why Qian Xunji was so rich that night and gave her a valuable soul tool before parting.

"Brother Ji, so you were looking for me?"

Ye Yuan'er looked puzzled, glancing at the many important figures present, completely at a loss.

"Yuan'er," Qian Xunji said very seriously, "I want to marry you. Will you be my wife?"

The sound wasn't loud, but it was precisely targeted to Ye Yuan'er's ears.

Ye Yuan'er froze on the spot, her eyes began to redden, and she choked up, "I, I don't know, I am of lowly status and not worthy of Brother Ji."

"No, you deserve it."

This statement is full of approval and affirmation.

It was Qian Daoliu who said these words.

Qian Daoliu's gaze fixed on Ye Yuan'er, and he solemnly said, "Now, as her father, I agree to you two being together. Are you willing?"

My son isn't stupid; he must have already investigated the people he's interested in.

Therefore, as a father, he was very relieved.

Qian Xunji looked at her reddened eyes and said in a gentler voice, "Yuan'er, are you willing to be my wife? You'll never have to be alone again."

Ye Yuan'er nodded vigorously, tears streaming down her cheeks, and choked out, "I do! Brother Ji, I do!"

Overjoyed, Qian Xunji strode forward and embraced her tightly.

Ye Yuan'er buried her face in his chest, feeling his warm embrace, and all her unease vanished.

Bibi Dong, watching with envy, secretly circled behind Ye Guyue, wrapped her arms around his waist, and whispered in his ear, "Husband, look how brave Teacher is, shouldn't we go back tonight too—"

Ye Guyue's cheeks instantly turned bright red. She quickly reached out to pry her hand away and scolded in a low voice, "We'll talk about this when we get back tonight! This isn't the time to talk about this. Don't be silly."

Just then, a majestic voice suddenly boomed in Ye Guyue's mind, causing his body to stiffen abruptly.

"Ye Guyue, now begins the second test: Sacred Heart, impervious to all evil. Head to the far north to battle the 100,000-year-old soul beast, Ice Tiger Evil Lord."

Bibi Dong noticed his unusual behavior, quickly released her grip, and leaned close to him, whispering, "Husband, what's wrong?"

Ye Guyue came to her senses and said softly, "It's nothing, it's just the announcement of the second test."

Bibi Dong exclaimed excitedly, "The second test? That's wonderful! My husband is one step closer to godhood!"

"Father, in half a month, I will be holding a wedding ceremony with Yuan'er."

At this moment, Qian Xunji looked at Qian Daoliu with a joyful expression.

"Okay, as long as you give me a grandson quickly," Qian Daoliu said, but his expression was much better than before.

Having something is better than having nothing.

Just then, Ye Guyue slowly stepped out and calmly said, "Teacher, since you are getting married, I have nothing to offer as a congratulatory gift, so I present you with a celestial herb to help your wife's martial soul evolve, as a token of my appreciation."

As soon as he finished speaking, the Papal Palace fell silent.

Everyone was stunned, their faces filled with disbelief.

Martial Soul Evolution? Such a heaven-defying thing.

How could Ye Guyue say it so casually?

Qian Daoliu was the first to recover, his eyes gleaming: "Gu Yue, is what you're saying true? Are there really immortal herbs in this world that can evolve a martial soul?"

"Of course it's true."

Ye Guyue slightly raised her palm, and a crimson immortal herb, shaped like a phoenix raising its head, appeared out of thin air.

The firelight flickered and spiritual energy overflowed; the mere dissipation of this energy made everyone present feel their meridians relax.

"This herb is called Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower. It is extremely yang and pure, and is most effective in tempering martial spirits."

He handed the herb to Ye Yuan'er, speaking calmly, "Master's wife only needs to take it to cleanse her marrow and meridians, stimulate her bloodline, and directly transform her martial soul, greatly increasing its power."

Holding the immortal herb, Ye Yuan'er's hands trembled slightly, and for a moment she didn't know what to say.

Qian Xunji was so excited that he trembled, and his gaze towards Ye Guyue was filled with gratitude: "Guyue, this—this gift is too great!"

"Teacher, you don't need to be so polite. We're all family." Ye Guyue smiled faintly.

Qian Xunji didn't stand on ceremony: "Then thank you very much, Gu Yue."

"Thank you, Holy Son." Ye Yuan'er was very excited and thanked him repeatedly.

Bibi Dong took Ye Guyue's arm, her eyes full of pride, and whispered in his ear with a smile: "My husband is really amazing. He even knows what his master's wife's martial soul is. Tonight, let's see how Dong'er tears your clothes and completely drains you until you can't squeeze out any more milk."

Her words were tingling and carried a flirtatious tone.

Ye Guyue turned her head and glared at her, signaling her to be quiet.

"Little Yueyue is so charming."

The title "Light Feather Douluo" is no longer sufficient to describe Ye Guyue.

"Don't embarrass yourself," Qingluan Douluo said helplessly, rubbing his forehead.

With Qian Xunji's matter settled, Qian Daoliu felt incredibly relieved.

At this moment, Qian Xunji seemed to remember something that hadn't been completed yet. "Gu Yue, there's a newly promoted Platinum Bishop who needs to hunt for his eighth spirit ring. You lead the team to the Star Dou Great Forest."

At this point, Qianxunji released Ye Yuan'er, pulled Ye Guyue aside, and whispered, "Guyue, this is also your chance to prove yourself. These bishops of the Spirit Hall have never seen you make a move. This time you took the Platinum Bishop on a hunt. If your teacher abdicates later, you must properly accept his papacy."

"Huh?" Ye Guyue looked completely bewildered. "Teacher, you're going to pass the papacy to me?"

"That's right, the teacher has already planned to do it, but no one else knows about it yet. The teacher knows you are more capable than me, so the teacher plans to support you behind the scenes."

Qian Xunji had already planned for this matter.

I just hadn't said it until now, and finally this opportunity has come.
