Douluo Continent: Peerless Angel Qian Renxue

Chapter 741 The Pope?

After arriving in Wuhun City, Qian Renxue made a quick assessment of her surroundings.

Come to think of it, this seems to be her first time visiting the new Spirit City; she's never been here before.

However, this city was probably built with great care, almost a one-to-one replica of the former Martial Soul City, from the overall layout to the streets and alleys, except for some shops and such.

Even within the Spirit Hall, the Pope's Hall, the Offering Hall, and the Douluo Hall were rebuilt.

Qian Renxue swept her divine sense across the entire Martial Soul City and found that the Papal Palace was still empty.

"This was left for me?" Qian Renxue's expression was strange. "Am I about to become Pope?"

"You have always referred to yourself as the young master, and at first some people thought that the Spirit Hall had a reclusive pope," Shen Yuanyi said. "But later, after your true identity was revealed, more and more people wanted you to take on the position of pope."

"How did you know about this? You've always been by my side." Qian Renxue looked puzzled.

"It was the Bone Dragon Keeper who subtly mentioned it to me. He probably knew about your obsession, but it wasn't convenient for him to say it directly," Shen Yuanyi said. "So he came to me."

"They're quite good at finding people to pass on messages."

"You don't want to be the Pope?"

"I've never done it before, and I don't really know how. I seem to have always been playing the role of a young person. When I was pretending, I was the crown prince, but I never became emperor; later, I also cultivated in the Spirit Hall as the young master, but I never became pope either." Qian Renxue joked, "Isn't this time the same? Besides being the young master, I also managed to get the position of Holy Maiden of the Holy Spirit Cult, but I didn't become the leader either."

"If you want to be in this position, I'll abdicate right now." A voice came from behind, and Qian Renxue and the others turned to look.

It was Zhongliwu.

"Oh, please don't flatter me, Master." Qian Renxue greeted Zhongli Wu, who seemed much more normal now.

However, Zhongli Wu doesn't seem to have killed many people; he prefers to play with beast souls.

"My mother came back early to tell me that I need to cooperate with the Spirit Hall's work." Zhongli Wu was still wearing his classic black robe.

"Um... who's in charge of Wuhun City right now?" Qian Renxue asked a little embarrassedly.

"It's a council," Zhongli Wu said. "The council that Xu Jiujiu, Xu Tianran, and the others formed. The Pope isn't here, so some decisions are made jointly by them and then issued for implementation. Everything is running smoothly."

He sighed, "I have to say, once the Spirit Hall got up and running, its efficiency and influence were tremendous."

Qian Renxue nodded: "I'll go find them, Yuan Yi and Sister Bingdi Xue, and arrange accommodations for them."

"No problem." Zhongli Wu nodded.

Over the next few days, Qian Renxue fully experienced the kind of life that Bibi Dong had lived, but with some differences.

Because Bibi Dong once ascended to the position of Pope with the support of Qian Daoliu and her own iron fist, which is similar to the ascension of an emperor of an empire, she really had to handle many things personally.

This time, Qian Renxue flexibly appointed many talented people who shone in their respective fields, which greatly reduced her pressure and allowed her to have time to cultivate while thinking about problems.

Therefore, during her absence, Wuhun City was still able to operate as usual.

The current board members are former high-ranking officials of several major empires, Xu Tianran, Xu Jiujiu, Princess Vina of Tianhun, as well as Du Busi, Kong Deming, and Ye Xishui.

As for the Douling Empire, the matter was resolved while Qian Renxue was on her expedition, but no one was appointed to the position of council member because there was simply no one capable of doing so.

Teacher Ye Xishui is from the Douling Empire, so she could be considered one. In the past few days, she met with several federal council members and also healed Xu Tianran's leg, fulfilling her promise.

"I remember there was an internal strife that broke out in the territory of Sun and Moon before. Did you quell it?" Qian Renxue asked.

"It's all settled," Xu Tianran said. "Speaking of which, what kind of spell did you cast on my fiancée? Why is she ignoring me now?"

"Don't ask me, I don't understand love." Qian Renxue blinked. "She likes fighting, right? It was your idea to send her to the army before, and I even supported her. Top soul masters like Elder Kong gave her tremendous support."

Xu Qi glared angrily at Qian Renxue: "Then what's the point of my leg recovering?"

Qian Renxue slapped him on the head: "Just tell me whether I've kept my promise or not."

Xu Tianran really wanted to say, "You've ruined the Sun Moon Empire."

But he didn't dare to say it.

He's a politician; he knows who he can and can't mess with. He had tried to trip up Qian Renxue before, but she had managed to defuse the situation with some clever tricks. Now, Qian Renxue was still willing to give him a directorship and hadn't settled accounts with him, which he found incredible.

Because Qian Renxue did not do the kind of thing that eliminates meritorious officials, although this is something that almost every new dynasty monarch would do.

At this moment, Xu Tianran was extremely grateful for the existence of the Douluo Federation system.

Otherwise, if it were still an imperial system, Qian Renxue could have easily discarded him after accomplishing these things, replaced him as the crown prince, and installed another puppet.

Xu Tianran was completely distraught after learning that Qian Renxue was the person from ten thousand years ago. He recalled some of the things Qian Renxue had told him before, which he had initially thought were just her trying to scare him, but now that he thought about it…

If you push her too far, she's really capable of doing something like that.

Xu Tianran thought that Qian Renxue would consider killing a prince too low-level, so now that she had changed it to killing the inheritor of the god, she let him go.

"I don't care about your business." Qian Renxue waved her hand. "But the Sun Moon Empire is a thing of the past, and you and Ju Zi aren't married yet. You're just in a relationship. Even if she wants to break up with you, you can't force her to do anything. Also, if I find out about the military-political discord, then you're both fired."

Xu Tianran had no choice but to nod.

Well, it's fine as it is now.

Qian Renxue breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Xu Tianran nod. As long as Xu Tianran didn't cause trouble, Ju Zi's wish to "get revenge and then have a free love affair" could be fulfilled.

Xu Tianran's arrogance mixed with his underlying inferiority complex stemmed from the fact that he had lost his ability to act. However, Qian Renxue healed his leg with the Life Gold with her eyes closed, so for Xu Tianran, there was no need to hang himself on Ju Zi.

Ju Zi and Xu Tianran's relationship was based on mutual exploitation, and now that exploitation has come to an end.

"So when do you plan to become Pope?" Xu Tianran asked.

"Don't meddle in adults' business." Qian Renxue waved her hand. "If you don't have anything to do, go and get busy. The Sun and Moon region has the most advanced soul guidance technology. Don't let other regions surpass us."

After seeing Xu Tianran off, the little angel twirled her fingers.

Speaking of becoming pope...

"Time to get down to business."

She sensed the situation on the little devil's side, then left a message for Shen Yuanyi, telling her that she was going into seclusion for a while and entered the undead demiplane.
