The portable grandfathers that appear are all problematic.

maternal love?

Perhaps it was just his imagination, Xue Luding took another sip of his black tea: "By the way, aren't you going to be the Pope anymore?"

"I stopped being a pope a long time ago, or rather, I was just temporarily chosen to clean up the mess. Now that the Papacy is back on track, there's no need for me to stay in that position. I might as well do something I want to do." The pope spoke quietly, without much restraint.

"What do you want to do?" Xue Luding asked, somewhat puzzled.

"Live a peaceful life, and then find someone who doesn't hate you, and whom you don't hate, to spend the rest of your life with."

Xue Law: "..."

Okay, the Pope is thirty years old now.

Xue Dinglu didn't speak, silently drinking his tea.

Meanwhile, the old ghost seemed to have captured Little Tree Girl and Little Dragon Girl, and Old Deng used watercolors to draw turtles on their faces.

Xue Luding was somewhat speechless. He guessed that Xiaolongniang was still quite interested in this kind of game. As for Xue Lingshu, he guessed she was just trying to amuse the old man and her silly sister to make herself seem like she belonged.

"Grandpa, I want to eat KFC tomorrow! Grandma always forbids us from eating KFC too much. She prefers to cook for herself. Recently, Sister Valrhona has also started learning to cook, and her food tastes just like Grandma's. We're all tired of it!" Little Dragon Girl said, grabbing Old Deng's clothes.

"Sigh, I remember that stuff is all deep-fried, right?" The old man had eaten a lot of fried chicken before. At first, he thought it was pretty good, but after eating it for a while, he found it greasy and also found it too oily and unhealthy.

"Grandpa, Grandpa..." Little Dragon Girl had somehow learned to act cute, and the old man lost himself in the repeated calls of "Grandpa".

"Okay, okay, I'll bring my darling granddaughters a family bucket of KFC tomorrow..."

Xue Law: "..."

Alora: "..."

The two people sitting to the side drinking tea were speechless.

Old Deng, seemingly oblivious to the situation, continued, "But my dear granddaughters, wouldn't you like a gentle and beautiful mother?"

"Mom?" Little Dragon Girl asked, still puzzled.

"It's like a mother who cooks for you and picks you up from school every day." The old ghost seemed to know that Xue Dinglu couldn't handle things on his end, so he prepared to take a roundabout approach.

“But Grandma is like that too.” Little Dragon Girl looked at Old Deng with a puzzled expression.

“It’s different, it’s different…”

Old Deng was still patiently persuading and convincing Xue's two daughters, while the female pope could only smile awkwardly.

Although Xue's Law had silenced all the old ghost's words about urging marriage and Xue's Law, he always managed to come up with something new.

"By the way, where do you live? Are you getting used to living here?" Xue Dinglu asked.

"It's alright. My grandfather and I are both working at the Silver Kingdom Farm now. My grandfather spends most of his time making pizzas, and the rest of the time he wears an Ultraman suit to take pictures and play with the children who come to the farm. Occasionally, when there are too many children, he also has to do a few backflips in his suit and have an exhibition match with the knight commander who is wearing a monster suit." The Pope said, describing their current life.

Xue Law: "..."

On the one hand, he was surprised that the two of them were working in the Silver Kingdom; on the other hand, he was surprised that the little princess of the Silver Kingdom was quite business-minded and had specially created a program to play with children.

Nearly half of the guests visiting the guesthouse are families, and it's normal to bring a child. Anyone who has taken care of children knows that the most troublesome thing about traveling is having kids.

The farm provides childcare services and has well-trained staff to take care of the children, which frees up many parents so they can enjoy themselves at their leisure.

Children would normally feel uneasy if they couldn't see their parents, but if they see Ultraman and monsters, they don't know who their parents are, so they just follow them and play.

Seriously, what a genius business mind... Xue Law doesn't know why Old Green's daughter, who is clearly a communications officer, has such a talent for business.

"Looks like the old man is having a lot of fun..." Xue Dinglu remarked.

"Yes, he really enjoys his job. He plays Ultraman while making pizzas and stir-frying noodles for kids. He's often wearing the costume while stir-frying noodles for them, and he's still having a great time even after get off work," the Pope complained.

When Xue Dinglu saw Old Deng making his two daughters laugh, he realized that the old man seemed to really like children and especially enjoyed playing with them.

"how about you?"

"Me? I'm basically just a waitress who serves food and water. When there are special events, I change into different costumes. Sometimes I play a lying elf, sometimes the evil queen of Snow White, and sometimes Cinderella's stepmother." Alora and Xue Luding talked about their current lives.

Xue Dinglu almost burst out laughing. He hadn't expected that this so-called female pope would actually be playing the villain most of the time in the guesthouse.

However, the old ghost and she had actually integrated into this world. Although Xue Daolu was very puzzled about how the two of them got through it and why they hadn't been elbowed hard by their mother, he still didn't ask the question.

As long as Lao Deng doesn't pressure him to get married or try to play matchmaker, Xue Dinglu thinks there shouldn't be any major problems.

Every time he sees this guy, he gets pressured to get married, which forces Xue to always wear a pained mask.

"By the way, have you been experiencing some health problems lately?" The Pope's words startled Xue Dinglu.

If there were any problems, that would be certain; he had lost his emotions and feelings. But things seem to be a little better now. The [Sand of Flowing Light] seems to allow him to feel the emotions he had lost, as if the hope and beauty stored within it were suppressing the negative effects of power.

"For now, it should be alright," Xue Dinglu replied. "There were some problems before."

Would you mind if I checked you out?

“Um…” Xue Dinglu originally wanted to say that he minded, but he suddenly realized that this person was not an ordinary woman, but a former pope.

He may be stronger than her now, but his understanding of the Holy Light is far inferior to hers.

“Let’s take a look,” Xue Dinglu said.

The holy light of Alora instantly entered Xue Lude's body, and Xue Lude felt a sensation like soaking in a hot spring.

Furthermore, her holy light even drew out another holy light within Xue Dinglu's body.

Xue Dinglu then remembered that he seemed to have been baptized many times by the clergy of their church in order to resist his own undead transformation. Although it was not very useful in the end, he still became an undead.

And that holy light is still within his body, as if it has become one with him.

Then, the Pope frowned.

"What's wrong?" Xue Luding didn't expect the pope to find the problem; he just thought, "It's free anyway, so I might as well give it a try."

“A void has appeared in your soul. It is not a physical void, but it is like a meaningless hole. As long as the holy light gets close, it will be completely swallowed by the hole, while the hole remains almost unchanged.”

“It’s like… nothingness…” The Pope’s expression suddenly turned serious. She stared at Xue Luding and said earnestly, “If this hole expands to your entire body, I even think you will completely become a monster called ‘nothingness,’ a monster that can render all existence meaningless.”

Xue Lude frowned. He even suspected that Alora was deliberately exaggerating the problem. Could she really know this information just by using the Holy Light?

“However, it seems there’s a path that bypasses this void, building a completely new bridge for you. I wouldn’t have noticed it if I hadn’t deliberately brought the holy light close to it,” she said. “Looks like someone helped you out?”

"Ah."

"Actually, in my opinion, that bridge that bypasses the void is enough, but we can be a little safer. Let me teach you the advanced use of Holy Light. You definitely don't know this, even your grandfather couldn't learn this advanced use of Holy Light." She smiled, and then the light entered her body even further.

Xue's Law was shocked to find that the power of the self-destructors actually decreased after the massive influx of light, albeit only slightly. This gave Xue's Law an unexpected perspective.

The Great Sage once said that the essence of Holy Light is just a kind of energy, not much different from geothermal energy or other similar energies.

But now it seems that the Holy Light has many hidden properties that they haven't discovered yet.

then……

The light dimmed, and Alora rubbed her brow.

"What's wrong?" Xue asked in return.

"The holy light is exhausted, and your world cannot replenish it. From now on, I will be no different from an ordinary person here, except that I will have slightly better physical fitness." She sighed.

Xue Dinglu then realized that this was Earth, where magic was absolutely forbidden, and every bit of magic used was a bit less.

The only exception is the people of the Silver Kingdom, especially Old Watson, but that's only because their magic comes from the Evil Eye, and Xue Lude had previously absorbed the Evil Eye's ability to materialize illusions, so their magic source was ultimately connected to Xue Lude.

Even Xue's Law today cannot replicate the miracle of the Silver Kingdom.

As for another way to restore magic power, the only way is to eat the Divine Tree... This was demonstrated to Xue by his fellow dragons.

“However, the Holy Light can indeed react to it. Do you want to learn the Holy Light? I’ll teach you.” The High Priestess looked calmly at Xue Luding, her azure pupils fixed on him.

It was as if I were just offering a small helping hand to a friend.

"Is that alright? Those advanced holy light techniques must be top secrets of your Holy See, right?" Xue Dinglu said casually, his magical skills had indeed not improved for a long time.

In particular, Holy Light originally accounted for more than half of his magic usage.

However, after parting ways with the hero, his Holy Light didn't improve much. Perhaps he had hit a bottleneck, or perhaps he no longer regarded Holy Light as his main tool.

“No problem. To the Vatican, you belong to the 'angel' order, which is one level higher than the Pope.” She seemed to be teasing Xue Dinglu. “Then I’ll teach you Holy Light when I have time, so I can be considered your half-teacher.”

"Okay, prison warden," Xue Dinglu greeted him with a smile.

Just then, the door opened, and the girl's voice came from outside.

"I'm back from evening self-study, Aunt, Xiao Linglong and Xiao Shu." Fafnir walked into the house with a shoulder bag slung over her shoulder.

Then, in an instant, she saw a strange woman place one hand on Xue Luding's chest, and Xue Luding didn't even object, letting the shameless woman place her hand on his chest like that.

In an instant, Fafnir bristled, arching her back and rounding her head as if she had been stressed, even her pointed ears folded back like airplane ears.

"what!"

Chapter 371 I Was the One Who Went First

Since becoming a typical "female college student," Fafnir has gone back to school every day for evening self-study.

Although registration has not yet been officially completed, the part-time program registers in winter, and then it's a yearly program.

However, she has already chosen the Department of Biology at the University of Science and Technology of China. Based on her current score, she will most likely be admitted directly. So recently, she has been treating herself like a college student and studying in the school library every day.

Although this wasn't the first time the old undead had come to visit, it was probably their third time, but Fafnir had never seen them before.

This time, Fafnir had roughly estimated the timeframe. Her teacher might be going home soon, and she had already voluntarily applied to the Department of Biology at the University of Science and Technology of China. She would be able to tell her teacher the good news then.

Especially today, their cut-off scores have been released. The cut-off score for USTC is around 500 points, so she can say that she is very confident.

Just as I was about to tell my teacher the good news when he returned, the moment I opened the door, I saw a shameless woman with her hand on his chest (heart). The woman was so close that I could only see my reflection through the gap between us.

For a moment, Fafnir was stunned.

Why... is this happening?

It was obviously me first...

Whether it was getting to know the teacher, living with the teacher, or receiving care from the teacher, it was all me who started it all...

Why? The teacher was going home, and I was basically going to be accepted by USTC. Two happy things were intertwined, but why...?

Isn't this woman just an older woman who's taller, has bigger breasts, a perkier bottom, and longer legs than me?

"what!"

In an instant, countless grievances and anger turned into this one hiss, arched back, round head, and airplane ears, just like the last stubbornness of a cat guarding its food.

They even fantasized about using their breath to make the enemy let go.

"Alright, Fafnir." Xue Dinglu waved, signaling Fafnir to come over.

But when Fafnir looked at the smiling woman over there, she suddenly felt that if she just went over like that, she would have already lost. So what if she was an older woman than herself? Even if it was her teacher's request, she couldn't just go over like that and lose face.

Even if it means death, even if it means dying outside, we must not give up now!

"Fafner?" Xue asked again, his eyes revealing a hint of doubt and concern, as if he suspected that she was feeling unwell.

"Sigh!" Fafnir immediately walked to Xue Luding's side and tried to hold his hand.

Schrödinger's law didn't react. Great, I've won!

She gave Alora a provocative look. At that moment, even old Barak, who was still pretending to be a ghost with his two daughters, looked over with a serious expression, as if he were looking at the silent battlefield.

Although there was no outburst of power, for some reason, the two girls stopped making a fuss and instead stared at the battlefield without daring to breathe, while Xue Lingshu's pupils even revealed a glint of excitement.

Is this another battlefield? How exciting!

"And who is this?" The Pope naturally didn't take the little brat's provocation seriously and asked with a smile.

“I’d call her my niece,” Xue Dinglu said. “She’s living at my house now.”

"Hmm, what a cute little niece." Alora seemed to completely disregard Fafnir, which made Fafnir so angry that she wanted to jump up and kick the woman's knee.

However, her bared teeth and claws were like a panting cat, without any aggression.

After a brief chat, it was getting late, and the High Priestess said, "Do you have time tomorrow? I'll make time to come and teach you Holy Light."

“It should be fine,” Xue replied.

"That's it."

The female pope left Xue's house, and the old ghost also prepared to leave.

As Xue was about to leave to see the guests off, Fafnir volunteered, "Teacher, let me help see the guests off."

“Hmm.” Xue Dinglu did not object. He had to attend the Mist Council tonight, and it was already a little late.
