Chapter 74 Please come to His Holiness the Pope's room tonight.
Since Xiao Wu was killed by Zhou Yu, it means that only he can absorb the resulting soul ring.
The Golden Generation of the Spirit Hall has always regarded Zhou Yu as a thorn in their side.
Yan, in particular, harbored a deep grudge against this junior who had come from behind and surpassed him.
He said indignantly, "Zhou Yu, how dare you steal that 100,000-year-old soul beast!"
Upon hearing this, Zhou Yu's lips curled into a sneer as he retorted, "Senior Yan, you can eat anything, but you can't say anything carelessly. Several Soul Saints present witnessed firsthand that the rabbit was preparing to sacrifice itself to Tang San. If I hadn't intervened and killed it in time, you would all have been dragged down with it."
"Alright, you two stop arguing."
Chrysanthemum Douluo interrupted their argument, then let out a soft sigh: "This time we suffered heavy losses and failed to complete our mission. We can only leave our fate to His Holiness the Pope."
After saying that, he and Ghost Douluo walked ahead, leading everyone back to the Spirit Hall.
……
Inside the Papal Palace.
Elders Ghost Douluo and Chrysanthemum Douluo, having failed in their mission, are kneeling before Pope Bibi Dong, sincerely begging for forgiveness.
Unexpectedly, Bibi Dongfei did not get angry; instead, her face remained calm and composed.
She parted her red lips slightly and said in a calm tone, "Elders, please rise!"
After saying that, she glanced at Zhou Yu standing below and then addressed the crowd, saying, "Although this operation failed to capture the two great soul beasts or eliminate Tang San, successfully killing that transformed 100,000-energy soul beast means it wasn't a complete failure."
Then, she said in a deep voice, "Zhou Yu, Operation Soul Hunt is about to begin! How's your research on the gunpowder formula for your Desert Eagle coming along?"
Zhou Yu stepped forward and respectfully replied, "Your Holiness, the research on the gunpowder formula has achieved a breakthrough success, and the Desert Eagle... is now ready for mass production."
"Very good! In this way, the hidden weapons of the Tang Clan that the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School purchased from Tang San will no longer be a threat."
When the Spirit Hall's Soul Masters are equipped with weapons as powerful as the Desert Eagle, clearing the obstacles from the three major sects will become much smoother, and unnecessary sacrifices can be greatly reduced.
Bibi Dong was very satisfied with the Desert Eagle that Zhou Yu had developed.
She continued, "The strength of those two old guys, Chen Xin and Gu Rong, should not be underestimated. However, the core of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School is still Ning Fengzhi. If you have the chance, take it and eliminate him, understand?"
Zhou Yu nodded: "Understood!"
"..."
Hu Liena felt very resentful seeing Zhou Yu being so favored.
As a highly respected saintess of the Spirit Hall, she returned empty-handed from this beast-hunting operation, having gained nothing.
What pained her even more was that the true identity of her beloved Tang Yin was actually her mortal enemy—Tang San.
……
After leaving the Papal Palace, Zhou Yu suddenly called out to Hu Liena and said softly, "You're a spinster, please come to His Holiness the Pope's room tonight."
Hu Liena was slightly taken aback and asked, "Did the teacher want to see me about something?"
Zhou Yu walked straight ahead without turning his head and replied, "You'll know when you get here!"
"you……"
Hu Liena was very unhappy with his arrogant attitude.
As night fell, she had dinner, took a bath and dressed herself carefully, and then entered the heart of the Papal Palace, where the Pope's bedroom was located, as promised.
This place, which should have been the most heavily guarded, was now completely devoid of any guards.
Hu Liena walked to the door and was about to knock when she heard a series of lingering moans coming from inside the room again.
"..."
Her heart skipped a beat, and she exclaimed inwardly, "How could this be? It's that voice again! Could it be that the teacher really is with him...?"
Her most respected teacher was in a room with a man younger than herself...
Ever since I accidentally heard that voice last time, and then saw Zhou Yu walking out of the teacher's room.
Hu Liena kept deceiving herself; she couldn't believe that the truth was as she thought.
However, Zhou Yu's invitation to her this time, and his deliberate timing to let her hear this voice, was undoubtedly a way of telling her that the truth was exactly as she had imagined.
"Zhou Yu, you bastard! What exactly are you trying to do?!"
Hu Liena raised her hands and covered her ears tightly, because the shouts inside the room were getting louder and louder, almost outrageous.
Her mind was in turmoil like never before, so much so that she unconsciously took two steps back, as if trying to escape this sudden emotional upheaval.
After a moment, she took a deep breath, took two shaky steps forward, and then slowly raised her slightly trembling arm to quietly push open the door, revealing a crack.
"..."
The scene that came into view through the crack in the door left her speechless with astonishment.
"How...how is this possible!"
Hu Liena looked up and saw Zhou Yu.
"It really is him..."
"T-Teacher! Why...?"
Hu Liena subconsciously raised her hand and covered her mouth tightly, afraid that she would make a sound and disturb the people in the room.
Unfortunately, just as she finished making this move, Zhou Yu suddenly raised his head, his sharp, hawk-like gaze piercing through the air and shooting straight towards the direction of the door.
Seeing Hu Liena's astonished expression, he not only showed no fear, but instead revealed a sly smile.
"..."
Hu Liena tried her best to suppress her turbulent emotions, then turned and left, quickly running back to her room.
……
Nearly an hour later, there were a few knocks on the door.
Hu Liena, who had just calmed down a little, slowly walked to the door, opened it, and was immediately startled.
"It's you!"
She angrily demanded, "What are you doing here?"
The person standing outside the door was Zhou Yu, who had just finished his business.
He simply said, "It's nothing! I just came to visit you."
"visit?"
"Hmph, you used the teacher's orders to trick me into going to her room, just so I would witness that scene, didn't you?"
