Chapter 168
Since the Heaven Dou Empire can't control things themselves, they can only cry to the Star Luo Empire...
Within the Heaven Dou Imperial Palace, unlike Bibi Dong's gloominess and silent anger, Emperor Xue Ye was very happy and pleasantly surprised by his Crown Prince's actions.
The reason was simple: Crown Prince Xue Qinghe had actually reached a strategic partnership with the Holy Maiden of the Spirit Hall.
That was the Holy Maiden of the Spirit Hall, the person destined to become the next Pope.
Such a lovely person was cooperating with his son.
At that moment, Emperor Xue Ye even suspected that the Holy Maiden named Qian Renxue had fallen in love with his Crown Prince Xue Qinghe.
Otherwise, why would she engage in such cooperation?
Therefore, Emperor Xue Ye subtly hinted to Xue Qinghe to pay more attention to Qian Renxue. If Xue Qinghe could really marry Qian Renxue, the Holy Maiden of the Spirit Hall, then the future of their Heaven Dou Empire would be promising!
When Qian Renxue becomes Pope, if their Heaven Dou Empire joins forces with the Spirit Hall, with one side sending troops and the other dispatching high-end soul master combat power, what would they have to fear from the Star Luo Empire?!
They could destroy them in minutes!!
As for Emperor Xue Ye's subtle hints, Qian Renxue, disguised as Xue Qinghe, fully understood the meaning behind Emperor Xue Ye's words and felt helpless.
She muttered inwardly, "This Emperor Xue Ye is getting old and dares to dream anything. I'm only playing two roles at the same time to make it easier to simultaneously hold the position of Crown Prince and acting Pope of the Spirit Hall, appearing as both Xue Qinghe and Qian Renxue. Otherwise, how could I possibly fancy Xue Qinghe, a mere Crown Prince?!"
Qian Renxue curled her lips. Although her heart was full of complaints, she didn't reveal any unusual expression in front of Emperor Xue Ye, whose health was still relatively good.
Instead, she said with a serious expression, "Yes, Father Emperor, I will do everything in my power to win the heart of the Spirit Hall's Holy Maiden, Qian Renxue!!"
I'll win my own heart, huh, that makes sense...
"Good, good, good!!! Qinghe, just go ahead and do it. If you can really marry the Holy Maiden Qian Renxue, the day of your wedding will be the day you ascend the throne. Then, I can retire and enjoy life!"
Emperor Xue Ye looked at the Crown Prince's confident smile and laughed with excitement.
Looking at Emperor Xue Ye's smile, Xue Qinghe also smiled back with a hint of a sinister grin...
Soon, as time passed, another three months went by.
During these three months, Bibi Dong, the Pope of the Spirit Hall, continued to exert her power steadily. The evil soul master search teams caused misery and suffering to all the kingdoms and empires except for the Heaven Dou Empire.
Many low-level soul masters were searched as many as three times a day!!
As a result, the resentment towards the Spirit Hall's actions became more serious and frequent on the continent.
However, because the powerful sects on the continent were all in the Heaven Dou Empire, and the Clear Sky School remained hidden from the world, without anyone taking the lead in speaking out, even if they were very annoyed and disgusted, they still lacked the ability to resist the Spirit Hall's absolute power.
They could only be treated like sheep, being searched again and again.
Unlike other kingdoms and empires, the Heaven Dou Empire's days for these three months were the envy and jealousy of people in other countries on the continent.
Not to mention not having to worry about harassment from the evil soul master search teams and the monthly soul master subsidies, these two things alone made people in other countries on the continent extremely envious and jealous.
The gold coins that a soul master could receive in a month increased from one to two, a Great Soul Master received fifteen, and a Soul Elder received one hundred and thirty!
Moreover, now it wasn't just some low-level soul masters who were envious, some Spirit Hall staff members were also gradually starting to envy those Spirit Halls in the Heaven Dou Empire that were specially managed by the Holy Maiden Qian Renxue.
Because according to their understanding, unlike their own welfare benefits which couldn't be increased for several years, the welfare benefits in the Spirit Halls in the Heaven Dou Empire had been further improved.
Not only had their salaries and benefits increased proportionally, but even the assessment standards were not as difficult as in other empires.
Simply put, working in the Spirit Hall within the Heaven Dou Empire meant more money, less work, and being close to home.
This was completely different from their own miserable and busy situation, where they were also being criticized behind their backs by low-level soul masters.
Furthermore, according to internal Spirit Hall news, Su Yuntao, a Great Soul Master deacon in Notting City who was responsible for awakening spirits in the surrounding villages, earned a large year-end bonus after passing his performance assessment, and finally married his sweetheart, making him a winner in life!
In addition to these enviable welfare benefits, what was even more talked about was the love-hate relationship between Crown Prince Xue Qinghe of the Heaven Dou Empire and Holy Maiden Qian Renxue of the Spirit Hall.
Since announcing their cooperation three months ago, these two had been like conjoined twins, appearing together in the public eye from time to time.
Although they didn't hold hands or hug, after appearing, no matter what they did, the final destination of both of them was basically Moon Pavilion.
And they both stayed inside Moon Pavilion for a whole day before leaving separately.
Although the owner of Moon Pavilion once came forward to explain that there was really nothing between His Highness the Crown Prince and Her Highness the Holy Maiden, that they were both free people and only had a cooperative relationship, not any other relationship, the more the owner of Moon Pavilion explained, the more the world saw it as a cover-up. After all, judging from various signs, Crown Prince Xue Qinghe and Holy Maiden Qian Renxue didn't seem to have no other relationship at all! If they really had no relationship, could they stay in Moon Pavilion together for a whole day?! What a load of bull!
Tang Yuehua also saw that no one believed her even after she clearly told the truth, and after a long time, she was too lazy to explain, so she let the rumors spread.
Chapter 259: Take off your clothes and lie on the bed, I'll teach you how to become stronger!
As Tang Yuehua stopped explaining, everyone gradually believed that Tang Yuehua had acquiesced, and therefore believed even more in what they thought in their hearts...
Some busybodies had even begun to bless Qian Renxue and Xue Qinghe.
It can be said that if it were anyone else, this kind of thing would definitely be something that couldn't be explained or defended.
But unfortunately, in this matter, Xue Qinghe and Qian Renxue can be said to be completely innocent, because Xue Qinghe and Qian Renxue are completely the same person.
Since they are the same person, how could they possibly complete those outrageous operations in the eyes of the world?!
The reason why Qian Renxue went to Moon Pavilion every time was completely to sleep there.
Moon Pavilion was quiet and undisturbed. With Tang Yuehua playing the zither to help her sleep, it was perfect for Qian Renxue to get deep rest.
For the past three months, she had been playing two roles, managing both the Spirit Hall and the palace.
Although she had the help of Demon Subduer and Thousand Jun Enshrined.
It still made Qian Renxue's already tired body even more exhausted.
In addition, she had to deal with Emperor Xue Ye's urging her to marry and the small frictions from Prince Xue Xing, so she really wished she could split herself into two people!
It was precisely because of this extreme exhaustion that she came up with such a method, which would damage her reputation a bit, but would allow her to have a good day's sleep.
After all, as long as she did this, no one would dare to disturb her at that time.
Emperor Xue Ye, needless to say, was most looking forward to seeing Xue Qinghe marry Qian Renxue.
Therefore, he would naturally not interfere.
He would also restrain Prince Xue Xing, who wanted to cause trouble.
The same was true for the Spirit Hall. Demon Subduer and Thousand Jun didn't want their young master to be too tired, so they turned a blind eye and gritted their teeth.
"..."
Spirit Hall City, Spirit Hall.
Bibidong looked at the quarterly work report sent by the red-robed bishop of the Heaven Dou Empire.
Looking at the extremely clear rows and columns listed above.
The already angry expression on her face suddenly turned livid, and her expression became ferocious.
Then, she threw it away casually, directly throwing the letter towards the wall on the side!
"Bang!!"
The force was so great that, while making a loud noise, the seemingly weak paper directly pierced through a layer of hard wall.
It was firmly embedded in the wall just like that.
"Damn bitch, a girl doesn't cherish her reputation so much, and even such scandals have spread. You really disappoint me too much. It's not an exaggeration to call you a bitch! Bitch, bitch, bitch!!"
Bibidong roared angrily, her face full of anger.
But these were not what made Bibidong the most angry. What made Bibidong the most angry were the words written by the red-robed bishop in the letter, praising Qian Renxue, this acting pope, for her actions in the past three months.
Salas's proud and self-satisfied tone seemed to be directly mocking Bibidong's ears, saying that her management was not even as good as Saintess Qian Renxue.
Especially when Salas wrote in the letter suggesting that His Holiness the Pope should imitate the management model of Saintess Qian Renxue, so that the Spirit Hall could continue to grow stronger, it directly stimulated Bibidong's nerves.
Because before seeing Salas's letter, she had seen many suggestions from other countries and empires to imitate the Saintess, and it was precisely because of this that Bibidong, who had been holding back a belly of anger, broke out after seeing this last letter.
After reading these letters, Bibidong's feeling was that now it seemed that everyone on the mainland thought that her, Pope Bibidong's, management ability was not as good as Qian Renxue, a little girl who had only been the acting pope for three months...
Thinking of this, Bibidong's expression became even more ferocious and angry.
She had managed the Spirit Hall for so many years, could she still be inferior to Qian Renxue, this little girl?!
For a time, Bibidong's expression became more and more ferocious and ugly.
"..."
"Nana, what's wrong with you?! You've been on leave for several days now?!"
Inside Hu Liena's room, after training, Xie Yue came to Hu Liena's room with Yan.
Recently, Nana had always been taking leave due to poor health and not participating in Yu Xiaogang's cultivation.
Xie Yue and Yan were worried about this and came to check.
However, as soon as they arrived, they saw Hu Liena sitting on the head of the bed with tears streaming down her face, her face full of panic.
A beautiful and charming face was crying like a pear blossom in the rain, that weak appearance really made people feel sorry for her....
"Nana, what's wrong with you?! Don't cry!!"
"Nana, who bullied you, tell me, I'll twist off his head!!"
Xie Yue and Yan panicked when they saw Hu Liena in tears, and said with a look of horror.
"Brother... Master, Master, Master, he, he wants to do something indecent to me...."
Hearing this, Xie Yue and Yan's faces changed drastically.
Then, they said with a look of horror.
"Nana, don't joke, how is this possible?! Master Yu is a teacher personally recruited by Her Holiness the Pope, and he is also familiar with Her Holiness the Pope, and you are a disciple of Her Holiness the Pope, how could he do something indecent to you?!"
Yan also nodded in horror, but although Hu Liena's martial soul was a Sky Fox, she wouldn't lie.
Afterwards, Hu Liena, with a face full of tears, told the cause.
It turned out that just a few days ago, that is, the day before Hu Liena took leave, Yu Xiaogang had called Hu Liena to his room alone after finishing the teaching work of the day.
Originally, Hu Liena didn't want to go, after all, Hu Liena felt disgusted just looking at Yu Xiaogang's face, but she couldn't refuse Yu Xiaogang as a teacher, so she went to his room.
However, as soon as she entered the room, Yu Xiaogang didn't even have the idea of concealing and gradually progressing, and directly revealed his true colors.
He said to Hu Liena, who was full of confusion and bewilderment.
"Nana, do you want to become stronger?!"
"Huh!? Of course I want to... so I have been perfectly fulfilling Master Yu's requirements! Thanks to you, Master, my soul power has increased by two levels...."
Hu Liena blinked at Yu Xiaogang subconsciously.
Showing a very obedient and easy to arouse people's desire appearance.
This was completely Hu Liena's subconscious behavior.
Having the Sky Fox martial soul, she naturally revealed this charming emotion to normal life.
However, this kind of blinking, in Yu Xiaogang's view, was completely another feeling and another meaning.
Before long, Yu Xiaogang's thoughts about Hu Liena became more and more intense.
Then, Yu Xiaogang forcibly endured the impulse in his heart and continued to say.
"That's good, since that's the case, I have an even stronger method to become stronger, which can make you stronger, do you want to learn?!"
Hearing this, Hu Liena's eyes lit up, and then she said with a face full of excitement.
"I am willing to learn, I am willing, Master, what should I do?!"
Hearing this, Yu Xiaogang nodded slightly, and a wicked smile that made Hu Liena feel very uncomfortable appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"Take off all your clothes, lie obediently on the bed and don't move, then, I will teach you well by hand...."
