Even though Bibi Dong had already softened her stance, Xiao Yu still shook his head.
"Sorry, Your Holiness, I dare not accept your favor for now. I fear that if I make a mistake, my life will be in danger again. Moreover, detoxification is truly not my area of expertise."
"Xiao Yu, you're pushing your luck! The Pope has spoken so kindly, and yet you still refuse?! Don't forget where you are right now!"
Ju Douluo, who was standing beside Xiao Yu, spoke coldly upon seeing Xiao Yu repeatedly reject the Pope's request.
"Oh? Ju Douluo, are your injuries healed already?"
"..."
Hearing this, Ju Douluo's tone faltered. He glared at Xiao Yu with resentment.
Thud!
Before Ju Douluo could speak again, Bibi Dong slammed her staff heavily on the ground, restoring her initial dignity, and coldly said,
"Since Xiao Yu is incapable, I won't trouble you further. Yue Guan, see him out!"
Bibi Dong had realized that Xiao Yu had the ability but simply didn't want to help her.
This kid Xiao Yu was trying to get revenge for the assassination attempt back then!
Xiao Yu, just you wait! Once I destroy the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon family, I'll see if you come begging for my help!
"As you command, Your Holiness..."
With Bibi Dong's order, Ju Douluo could only bow and comply.
"Sir Xiao Yu, please."
Just as Yue Guan was about to escort Xiao Yu out, a golden-haired beauty in a long dress adorned with golden patterns pushed open the tightly shut doors of the Pope's Hall. She entered slowly, accompanied by Ci Tun Douluo and She Mao Douluo.
Seeing this figure, Hu Liena's eyes were filled with jealousy as she looked at her.
Meanwhile, on the Pope's throne, Bibi Dong's already angry expression grew even more furious upon seeing this golden figure.
In a harsh tone, she said,
"Saintess, you were doing just fine in the Worship Hall. What brings you to the Pope's Hall? As long as I am in the Spirit Hall, there's no need for you to concern yourself with the affairs of the Pope's Hall!"
Hearing her elder sister's annoyed voice, Qian Renxue, with her slender jade-like hands clad in white gloves with golden edges, covered her mouth and chuckled softly.
"I've come to help share some of Your Holiness's burdens. I heard that due to Your Holiness's oversight, several of your disciples have been poisoned, and you've been unable to cure them. That's why I've come to offer my assistance."
Seeing her younger sister once again in her "green tea" mode, Bibi Dong immediately knew that this girl had come to mock her. Her anger intensified.
Clutching her staff tightly, Bibi Dong wanted to drive her away, but with Xiao Yu refusing to help and Nana's life hanging in the balance, she had no other choice.
"..."
"Xiao Yu, I know you can save them too. So, could I trouble you to help me this once? I'll owe you a favor!"
As soon as Qian Renxue finished her provocative words, she immediately sent a voice transmission to Xiao Yu beside her.
She could certainly cleanse the poison from Hu Liena and the others herself, but that wouldn't be enough. If she could get Xiao Yu to act, it would undoubtedly make her elder sister even angrier.
She couldn't get Xiao Yu to act, but I could.
Seeing this, her pride would surely infuriate her.
Hearing Qian Renxue's slightly pleading tone, Xiao Yu sighed and agreed.
Had I become a pawn in their mother-daughter game?
But regardless, if I wanted to mess with and take revenge on Bibi Dong, I needed to maintain a good relationship with Qian Daoliu's side.
However, since Qian Renxue and I are in a cooperative relationship, I couldn't just act on a whim.
I'm not Qian Renxue's servant!
Xiao Yu then sent another voice transmission:
"I also want that ten-thousand-year spirit bone!"
"..."
"Fine, I agree!"
Hearing Xiao Yu's audacious demand, Qian Renxue's expression froze.
She had already offered him a favor, yet he still wasn't satisfied.
But then, thinking about the look of frustration on her elder sister's face, she immediately agreed.
Ding!
[Qian Renxue's Favorability +1!]
[Current Favorability: Qian Renxue (1%)]
Not long after, hearing the long-awaited system notification, Xiao Yu couldn't help but raise an eyebrow.
It seems this trip might have some unexpected benefits.
I accidentally triggered Qian Renxue's favorability system.
If Qian Renxue is possible, then what about Bibi Dong?
In an instant, Xiao Yu couldn't help but glance at Bibi Dong, who was on the stage, her face filled with resentment.
After all, when it comes to revenge, what could be more satisfying than pinning your enemy down and playing with her, turning her into a slave and a plaything?
I'm sure both Erlong and Qian Renxue would love to see that.
After all, they both want to see Bibi Dong suffer.
Later, during the intense back-and-forth between Bibi Dong and Qian Renxue, Qian Renxue agreed to treat Hu Liena and the others in exchange for the spirit bone.
Seeing that she only had to give up the spirit bone and wasn't being further stripped of her authority, Bibi Dong, though unhappy, nodded in agreement.
With a face full of displeasure, Bibi Dong tossed the spirit bone to Qian Renxue.
"Here's the spirit bone. Now get to work!"
Bibi Dong's tone was filled with anger.
All she wanted now was for Qian Renxue to act quickly and then leave.
"Your Holiness, I am the Saintess, after all. Such a trivial matter as detoxification doesn't require my personal intervention. Xiao Yu, I'll leave this to you."
Qian Renxue glanced at the spirit bone in her hand and handed it to Xiao Yu, then coldly spoke.
However, after speaking, she immediately sent a voice transmission to Xiao Yu, her tone filled with anticipation.
"Xiao Yu, give me some response. I want to see the Pope get angry."
"As you wish, Saintess."
Hearing the transmission, Xiao Yu sighed slightly, bowed, and agreed.
He then quickly walked toward Hu Liena and the others.
"..."
On the high platform, seeing that Xiao Yu, who had previously refused her, now obediently complied with Qian Renxue's orders, Bibi Dong clenched her silver teeth. The hand gripping her staff showed visible veins, and her eyes were filled with intense killing intent as she glared at Qian Renxue and Xiao Yu.
Especially when she saw her dear daughter's look of amusement.
Her angry expression was almost uncontrollable.
"This rebellious daughter and this Xiao Yu, they must have conspired to humiliate me!"
At this moment, feeling her authority as Pope being trampled upon by the two of them, Bibi Dong trembled with rage.
However, despite her fury, seeing that Xiao Yu had already summoned his spirit, she suppressed her anger and decided to wait and see what would happen next.
