A short while later.
Flender and Yu Xiaogang were summoned and followed the guards into the The Pope's Palace.
On the high platform of the great hall.
The Pope's throne was turned away from them; they could only see a person sitting on it, holding the Pope scepter.
Standing on the left and right were Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo.
"Greetings, Your Holiness!"
Yu Xiaogang and Flender bowed together.
Hu Liena, on the throne, did not turn around or speak. Chrysanthemum and Ghost Douluo's gazes held mocking smiles.
Chrysanthemum Douluo spoke up and asked, "Who are you?"
"Our Pope is occupied with a myriad of affairs; can you just see her whenever you please?"
"If you can't state something important today, you know the consequences will be severe!"
Flender was extremely nervous. To a wild Soul Master like him, the Spirit Hall was like a massive mountain!
Yu Xiaogang stood with his head held high and chest out, still possessing that—Xiaogang's confidence!
"Bibi Dong, I have come."
"Hmm?"
Chrysanthemum and Ghost Douluo's expressions instantly froze. The killing intent of Titled Douluos immediately locked onto Yu Xiaogang, startling him so much he couldn't help but take two steps back.
Hu Liena reached out to stop them and replied indifferently:
"You have come."
Hearing this, Yu Xiaogang felt something was off. Bibi Dong's voice sounded different—was it younger?
Yu Xiaogang went silent for a moment before replying:
"Yes, I have come. Are you well?"
Hu Liena was almost moved to angry laughter by what she heard.
Had this waste Xiaogang not realized that she wasn't her teacher?
[Number Nine: Since you're here, don't leave.]
[Xiao Wu: Since you're already here, stay for a meal before you go!]
[Ning Rongrong: I'm really going to die laughing. Did Yu Xiaogang really not recognize Hu Liena's voice and mistake her for Bibi Dong?]
[Zhu Zhuqing: Most likely. After all, Hu Liena is currently sitting on Bibi Dong's Pope throne, holding the Pope scepter. Yu Xiaogang probably wouldn't suspect that the Pope was an impostor.]
[Bo Saixi: You guys really have great comedic timing!]
[Leon: Wait a moment, let me think of Bibi Dong's lines...]
[Everyone:???]
[Leon: "Above ten thousand people, what's so bad about it? As the ruler of the Spirit Hall, even the emperors of the Two Great Empires must show me some courtesy. Why do you think I wouldn't be well?"]
[Liu Erlong: Hu Liena, hurry! Say it while the Old Woman is in seclusion. Just thinking about it is hilarious!]
[Qian Renxue:...]
Hu Liena was also caught between laughter and tears as she said calmly:
"Above ten thousand people, what's so bad about it? As the ruler of the Spirit Hall, even the emperors of the Two Great Empires must show me some courtesy. Why do you think I wouldn't be well?"
Hearing Hu Liena's words, Yu Xiaogang sighed and said, "Bibi Dong, I know the bitterness in your heart."
[Leon: "Bibi Dong? If you hadn't mentioned it, I would have almost forgotten that name. Please call me the Pope, or address me as Your Holiness. I am no longer the foolish Bibi Dong I once was."]
[Leon: After saying this line, turn around directly and give Xiaogang a huge surprise.]
[Ma Xiaotao: Pfft!]
[Shui Yue'er: I'm really going to die laughing. While the Pope is in seclusion, you're all working hard to expose her past, aren't you?]
[Wang Donger: What Leon said is probably what Bibi Dong would say in the normal plot when she was still losing her mind, right?]
[Wang Donger: This reminds me of the name Great General Number Nine gave the Pope before—So Silly, So Naive!]
[Ma Xiaotao: Great General Number Nine is truly powerful!]
[The Pope's Palace.]
A smile also appeared on Hu Liena's face as she repeated Leon's words:
"Bibi Dong? If you hadn't mentioned it, I would have almost forgotten that name. Please call me the Pope, or address me as Your Holiness. I am no longer the foolish Bibi Dong I once was."
Having finished speaking.
Hu Liena turned the Pope's throne around directly.
And then.
Yu Xiaogang's pupils contracted slightly, and a trace of pain flowed from his eyes. He turned around, seemingly sinking into his past memories.
"Yes, Your Holiness."
In this situation, Yu Xiaogang clearly wanted to indulge in some sentimentality to set the mood, but it happened to be perfectly out of sync with Hu Liena's turn.
[Leon:???]
[Ning Rongrong: Hahaha!!]
[Dugu Yan: I'm really going to die laughing. Hu Liena, you two really have a connection, don't you?]
[Ma Xiaotao: You turn around and he turns his back; is she really committed to playing Bibi Dong today?]
[Bai Chenxiang: I'm also about to die laughing.]
[Number Nine: What do you guys know? Kings Do Not Meet — This Is the Rule!]
[Everyone: Hahaha!!]
Hu Liena was also dazed at this moment.
Wait?
Yu Xiaogang, you beast, what are you pretending to do here?
Chrysanthemum and Ghost Douluo were also bewildered!
What's going on?
With such an affectionate look, who are you trying to manipulate?
However.
At this moment, Flender's pupils dilated, his face full of shock and disbelief!
Holy crap!
Who is this?
Is this person Bibi Dong?
Impossible!
Absolutely impossible!
Although Flender had never seen Bibi Dong with his own eyes, he could be one hundred percent certain that this person was definitely not Bibi Dong. This was clearly a young girl!
Damn it.
Could this be Bibi Dong's daughter?
It's all over!
Xiaogang, you've really screwed me over. Bibi Dong's daughter is already this old, yet you're still here trying to talk about past feelings and asking them to deal with Leon?
You... You motherfucker, hurry up and look back. Stop fucking pretending to be so affectionate.
Flender frantically winked at Yu Xiaogang, but Yu Xiaogang ignored him, thinking Flender had misunderstood him and cursing Flender as an idiot in his heart!
Everyone in the Group Chat was also dying of laughter at this moment; today's livestream really had great comedic timing.
[Leon: Don't panic, keep waiting... Let Xiaogang build up his emotions a bit more.]
[Bo Saixi: 666!]
[Liu Erlong: I really want to know, what benefit do you get from making me die of laughter? Hahaha!!]
[Huo Wu: Yu Xiaogang has found the perfect way to get revenge on Leon, and that is—to make Leon die of laughter!]
[The Pope's Palace.]
Time passed bit by bit.
Flender frantically winked at Yu Xiaogang, but Yu Xiaogang ignored him.
At the same time, Yu Xiaogang was very puzzled.
Something's not right?
Has Bibi Dong really become this mature?
With a routine like this, she could actually endure for so long without speaking?
Yu Xiaogang took a deep breath and exhaled heavily, saying:
"Your Holiness, I have come this time to ask for a favor."
"I want to know how you overcame the difficulty of the Twin Martial Souls back then... Uh?"
As Yu Xiaogang spoke, he turned his head and saw that the person sitting on the Pope's throne was not Bibi Dong, but another girl he didn't recognize.
This girl was actually wearing the Supreme Pope's attire and holding the Pope scepter??? Yu Xiaogang's mind instantly went completely blank.
