"Alright, alright, let's talk about this later. It's not settled yet..." Bai Zhou gently rubbed Ju Zi's cheek, soothing Dao softly.
With Orange reacting so strongly, we definitely can't continue the conversation.
"When will it be decided?" Orange glared at Bai Zhou, naturally not going to let it go so easily.
Moreover, she also had to keep an eye on Bai Zhou to prevent him from getting engaged to Meng Hongchen without her knowledge.
This world has a very important background. She previously had Xu Tianran as her backer, which gave her a high status and made many things easier to handle.
Now that Xu Tianran has fallen from power, her biggest backer has also completely collapsed. She is now practically all alone, with no ability whatsoever, and is far inferior to Meng Hongchen...
Who knows, one day Mirror Hongchen might offer Bai Zhou an offer he can't refuse...
The more Orange thought about it, the more frightened and aggrieved she became...
"Don't think too much about it. I'll definitely ask for your opinion on this. Well, even if it's true... you'll definitely be the older sister." Bai Zhou smiled awkwardly, unsure how Dao should explain.
"Asshole!"
Ju Ziqi was impatient and took another big bite out of Bai Zhou.
The two started playfully fighting again, and soon ended up on the soft, large bed...
...
...
At the same time.
Holy Spirit Church headquarters.
Dragon Xiaoyao waited for several days until Ye Xishui finished her seclusion.
After all, Ye Xishui is a Soul Engineer, and each research session lasts several days or even half a month. If he encounters some difficult problems, he might go into seclusion for half a year or more without coming out...
"Xi Shui, you've finally emerged from seclusion." Dragon Xiaoyao breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing Ye Xi Shui.
He is now shouldering a "heavy responsibility" given to him by Bai Zhou. Although Bai Zhou has not urged him, he has delayed for so many days and is already filled with guilt towards Bai Zhou. So when he sees Ye Xishui come out, he is naturally very anxious.
At the same time, he secretly vowed in his heart that no matter what method he used, he must complete the task that Bai Zhou had instructed him to do, and he must not let Bai Zhou down!
"Oh? You're back so soon? Have you investigated Ming Capital?" Ye Xishui was quite surprised to see Dragon Xiaoyao.
Judging from Dragon Xiaoyao's appearance, it seems she has been back for quite some time.
According to her calculations, that mysterious force was so deeply hidden that even Dragon Xiaoyao would need at least ten days to half a month to investigate before she could get any results. She didn't expect them to return so quickly.
"Yes, the investigation has been completed, but it wo n't have a significant impact on us." Dragon Xiaoyao nodded.
"Oh, what do you mean?"
Ye Xishui raised an eyebrow, clearly intrigued.
At her level of power and status, there are very few things that can truly interest her. Therefore, she is now basically living in seclusion, not concerning herself with anything related to the Holy Spirit Church, focusing instead on Cultivate, researching spirit tools, and hoping to advance further.
However, the mysterious deaths of the Crown Prince and Third Prince had greatly impacted Holy Spirit Church's plans within the Sun Moon Empire, which is why Zhongli Wu reported this matter to her.
Upon hearing Ye Xishui's question, Dragon Xiaoyao composed herself slightly, organized her thoughts, and then slowly began to speak: "As you guessed, there is indeed a mastermind behind this matter. They are very mysterious. Although their combined strength is somewhat inferior to that of the Holy Spirit Church, they also have a mysterious Limit Douluo in charge, whose strength is comparable to mine..."
...
Dragon Xiaoyao recounted everything he knew about Dao.
Of course, it's only half true and half false; it naturally conceals Bai Zhou's identity and power, as well as the fact that he was enslaved by Bai Zhou...
The most important thing is to express Bai Zhou's intention to cooperate with the Holy Spirit Church, while also making it clear that the other party's ideas and purposes do not conflict with the Holy Spirit Church.
"Oh? They actually have a Limit Douluo? That's interesting. Can you figure out who he is?" Ye Xishui was immediately intrigued, especially about the Limit Douluo.
After all, there are only a handful of Limit Douluos in this world, and now that there is suddenly one more, she is naturally very curious.
Limit Douluo didn't appear out of thin air. Every Limit Douluo was a super genius who was very famous in mainland China when they were young.
She was naturally very curious about who that person was.
"I don't know Dao."
Dragon Xiaoyao shook his head: "I only had a brief exchange with them and couldn't discern their identity. However, I suspect they are remnants of the previous dynasty, as is the other faction. They've been hiding their identities until now, when they've finally erupted. What they want is power and status, which doesn't conflict with our ideals. They've simply changed their investment targets. Therefore, I don't think cooperating with them would be any bad thing for us."
Dragon Xiaoyao shared her guesses and thoughts.
"Well, if it's really as you say, then let's do it your way. If I have the chance, I still want to meet the other party." Ye Xishui nodded slightly upon hearing this.
Although she was curious about the other person's identity, she wasn't in a hurry, knowing she would find out sooner or later anyway.
She didn't care who the other person was, whether they were remnants of the previous dynasty, or what their purpose was.
As long as the Holy Spirit Church can establish itself in the Sun Moon Empire as soon as possible, everything will be fine.
Since becoming the Holy Maiden of the Holy Spirit Church, the heavy responsibility of expanding the Holy Spirit Church has weighed on her like a mountain, consuming a great deal of her energy.
Holy Spirit Church was previously a cult that was universally condemned and its development was very unsuccessful.
Now, the Holy Spirit Church is about to have a legitimate and reasonable opportunity to spread and become the "state religion" of a country. Naturally, she would not let such a good opportunity pass her by.
As for controlling an Empire...
She hadn't thought about it, after all, she knew Dao The Holy Spirit Church is essentially a cult. If it were to become the state religion and be subject to certain restrictions, it could develop peacefully.
However, if she were to control an Empire, it would be completely out of control and even more likely to be destroyed, which was something she didn't want to see.
"Alright, leave this to me." Dragon Xiaoyao was overjoyed upon hearing this.
"Hmm, weren't you uninterested in all this trivial stuff before? Why are you suddenly so enthusiastic now?"
Ye Xishui gave Dragon Xiaoyao a strange look and asked Dao curiously.
Dragon Xiaoyao had never cared about the development of the Holy Spirit Church before; she would only help the Holy Spirit Church when needed, out of consideration for her face.
Dragon Xiaoyao is being too proactive right now, which is making her a little confused.
"Ahem, your Holy Spirit Church is too sinister and not suitable for my cultivation. I'll stay in Ming Capital for the time being, which will make it easier to control the overall situation."
Dragon Xiaoyao coughed and quickly explained to Dao.
"Hmm, that works too."
Upon hearing this, Ye Xishui nodded slightly, barely accepting Dragon Xiaoyao's words.
However, she had a strange feeling in her heart; Dragon Xiaoyao seemed to have changed...
But for a moment she couldn't quite put her finger on what had changed...
