Bibi Dong gazed at Huo Yuhao with her beautiful eyes:
"Yuhao, how many more surprises do you have in store for me?"
Huo Yuhao smiled slightly, playfully winking. Then, an extreme chill instantly enveloped the entire Spirit Awakening Hall, but this power cleverly avoided Hu Liena.
Huo Yuhao's rebirth on the Douluo Continent didn't just bring back the Spirit Eye Spirit Soul; he also brought back the Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion Spirit.
To be precise, he brought back all three Spirit Souls.
However, the Spirit Soul bestowed upon him by Ilex was far too terrifying, so Huo Yuhao didn't reveal his third Spirit Soul.
However, even revealing only the second Spirit Soul was enough to startle Qian Daoliu to his feet, and the other elders and retainers stared wide-eyed at Huo Yuhao in utter astonishment.
What was this? The aura of ultimate ice! Huo Yuhao possesses twin martial souls!
And his second martial soul is ultimate ice!
As for Hu Liena, the moment Huo Yuhao transformed, she immediately cupped her face in her hands: "Wow, so beautiful!"
Hu Liena was then completely captivated by Huo Yuhao's stunning good looks.
However, Bibi Dong reached out and grabbed Huo Yuhao's ear, scolding him irritably:
"You, Huo Yuhao, you didn't even show off your two martial souls before, and you're just showing off to me, huh?"
"Ouch, ouch, ouch, teacher, let go! I was wrong!"
"Hmph, I won't let go."
Watching Bibi Dong and Huo Yuhao playfully bickering in the arena, Qian Daoliu fell into deep thought, unsure what to say.
According to the original plot, after Huo Yuhao revealed his second martial soul possessing ultimate ice, shouldn't there have been initial shock followed by endless praise?
Finally, he and Bibi Dong delivered an important speech, announcing Huo Yuhao's appointment as the Holy Son of the Spirit Hall.
The other elders and high-ranking officials shouted:
"The Grand Elder is wise! His Holiness the Pope is wise!
Long live the Spirit Hall!"
This solemn and sacred event was turned into a scene of playful banter between Bibi Dong and Huo Yuhao—how utterly disgraceful!
Qian Daoliu felt old and out of touch with the times.
However, Bibi Dong was clearly unaware of what the old man Qian Daoliu was thinking.
In her eyes, Qian Daoliu was a product abandoned by the times, a disgusting six-winged angel who should simply lie in his coffin and quietly await death.
As for what kind of spirit Yuhao awakened, or how powerful it was, Huo Yuhao was still her little Yuhao.
To be honest, Bibi Dong was both happy and worried about
Huo Yuhao's immense talent. Her worry stemmed from Huo Yuhao's overwhelming talent and handsome appearance; she was certain that many wicked women would try to take advantage of him.
Let's not even talk about anything else. Just look at that little girl, Hu Liena.
She's staring at Huo Yuhao with a completely infatuated expression, her eyes practically glued to him.
There are so many worshippers watching, it's utterly embarrassing!
But, after using his second martial soul, Yuhao really has become so handsome!
Bibi Dong stared blankly at Huo Yuhao's smooth skin, beautiful face, and deep blue hair, feeling her heart pounding faster.
No wonder Hu Liena was so infatuated; even she almost couldn't resist.
How could a boy be so handsome?
Could this little guy be some kind of succubus reincarnated?
You see, Huo Yuhao's current appearance is a miniature version of his godhood, a fusion of the beauty of four peerless beauties:
Qiu'er, the Snow Empress, the Mermaid Princess, and the Ice Empress. His looks have reached the point of being able to topple kingdoms.
Looking at little Yuhao before her, Bibi Dong suddenly had a flood of wicked thoughts.
For example, taking him to her room, dressing him in a pretty light blue sundress, putting on cute little stockings, tying his hair in pretty pigtails, and then…
"Ahem, Bibi Dong, why don't you take your hands off Yuhao's face? You've pinched his cheeks red."
"Old man, mind your own business! He's my disciple, I can pinch him as long as I want…"
Bibi Dong glared fiercely at Qian Daoliu.
She had just been thinking about something crucial when this old man interrupted her.
Where was she even thinking?
Putting on cute little stockings?
Or doing whatever she wanted?
Oh dear, Bibi Dong, what are you thinking?
You're not a pervert, are you?
Bibi Dong's cheeks flushed crimson.
Huo Yuhao: …
No, dear Pope, what are you thinking?! This is clearly not right, okay?
Sensing the subtle atmosphere, the surrounding elders and revered elders exchanged glances.
This group of old men, whose combined age exceeded 1000, were already secretly calculating.
They clearly remembered how strained the relationship between the Grand Elder and the Pope had been before Huo Yuhao's arrival—it had reached the point of life and death.
Now, however, the two hadn't drawn their weapons against each other upon meeting; they were even able to quietly argue for a while.
All of this was thanks to Huo Yuhao.
And today, Huo Yuhao had awakened twin martial souls, and both seemed to be of exceptionally high quality, especially his second martial soul, the Extreme Ice.
Even these old men felt a sense of danger.
If Huo Yuhao were merely favored by Bibi Dong, it wouldn't be so bad, but the Grand Elder also adored him, even considering marrying his granddaughter to him.
The elders and retainers were almost certain that Huo Yuhao would become the future Pope.
If they were wrong, they'd rather die on the spot!
Regardless of whether these old men had any particular attachment to popes, Bibi Dong finally withdrew her hand and resumed her papal demeanor.
"Elders, retainers, you have all witnessed Yuhao's talent.
I intend to appoint Yuhao as the Holy Son of our Spirit Hall.
Does anyone here have any objections?"
The old men exchanged glances and nodded in agreement, expressing their unwavering support for the Spirit Hall's core values and their firm endorsement of Huo Yuhao becoming the Holy Son.
They were joking; Bibi Dong's gaze was practically piercing them as she spoke.
If they had dared to voice any objections a second ago, their suitcases would probably have been packed and thrown outside the Spirit Hall shop the next.
Besides, they themselves were extremely satisfied with Huo Yuhao; not only was he exceptionally talented, but he could also mediate the relationship between the Papal Palace and the Hall of Retainers.
They figured that once Huo Yuhao took over the Spirit Hall, he'd be able to reunite the entire Hall of Worship and the Papal Palace.
They'd be overjoyed, so why would they have any objections?
Bibi Dong was naturally very satisfied with the elders' stance; these old guys knew what was good for them.
"Then this matter is settled. Seven days from now, I will personally take Yuhao to the Star Dou Great Forest to obtain a spirit ring!
Upon returning with the spirit ring, the investiture ceremony will be held immediately!"
