"Mingdu is still as peaceful as ever."
"I wonder how things are in Xingluo City, the Sea God family..." "
I guess that guy Amon has eaten up their entire rear base, right?"
"The weather is getting colder and colder. Luckily, I have the scarf Karen gave me. I guess I won't be able to go back for New Year's Eve this year.
" "What a heartless boss. When I was the Bishop of Destiny, I would arrange enough holidays for my subordinates to ensure the mental and physical health of every one of them."
"Sigh, I'll work for a few more years, accumulate more merits, and then have that heartless boss bring my dear granddaughter Theresa over."
"Her grandfather built a huge empire for her in this world. She'll be so moved if she comes to take over my position, right?"
"That child drinks bitter melon juice every day. I guess she won't pay attention to her health after I'm gone. I wonder if she's even wearing the Bishop of Destiny cloak that I sewed myself?"
"I really want to retire and take a world trip with Karen. "
In a resplendent and extravagantly luxurious venue in the capital, Otto casually placed the glass of red wine he was holding on a nearby table and tightened the white scarf around his neck.
Every now and then, several nobles in opulent robes would approach him, wanting to exchange a few words.
Everyone knew that Otto was now a rising star in the court, the newly appointed Prime Minister of the Empire, wielding immense power.
He was the only figure in the court who could rival the pillar of the state, Kong Deming, and perhaps even held a slight edge.
After all, the Crown Prince Xu Tianran held him in high regard, and with Xu Tianran essentially securing the throne, this favor was crucial.
This means far too much.
While the ministers in the court deeply respected Kong Deming, they still had to prioritize their own interests.
Otto and Xu Tianran were not easy to deal with; many dissenting ministers had already quietly disappeared from the court.
This new prime minister was no puppet; he was a true powerful minister and shrewd strategist with extraordinary abilities.
The Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy and Mingde Hall, for some unknown reason, had offended him and were being relentlessly targeted by this prime minister.
Mingde Hall, with its rich resources and Kong Deming's support, had only been around for a short time, and was already starting to falter.
What about the other court ministers?
Rumor has it that Xu Tianran even planned to bestow upon Otto the title of Grand Preceptor of the Sun and Moon Kingdom on the day of his coronation, granting his family the privilege of sharing the nation's prosperity and fortune.
However, just as they were about to approach, a blonde girl in a yellow dress stopped them, saying in an icy tone,
"The Prime Minister doesn't wish to chat today, please leave for now."
The nobles immediately left sheepishly. They dared not cause trouble in front of Otto; if they offended him, not only would they suffer, but their entire families would be ruined.
"Well done. Next time, don't be so cold. As an angel, you must first be gentle and sunny."
"Anyone who didn't know better would think you were an ice-attribute soul master."
"Would you like some red wine?"
Otto walked to the blonde girl's side, smiling as he handed her a glass of red wine. Under the bright light, the wine was even more crimson than blood, reflecting Otto's confident face.
"I won't drink, stay away from me!"
"I'd rather die than flatter those nobles! The glory of angels will never be given to those despicable nobles!"
Ye Guyi frowned and turned her head away, her tone still icy.
Otto smiled and put the red wine aside, saying,
"I admire your steadfastness."
"But what exactly did I do to make you disrespect me like this?"
"Well, although you no longer have the protection of the Ordinary Alliance, you still have me!
I can be your guide in life and nurture you carefully."
"If you don't mind, you can also consider me your father."
"I have a little confidence in my educational abilities."
"And Miss Angel, you don't think the Ordinary Alliance is some kind of righteous and glorious organization, do you?"
"Heh, they've done plenty of human trafficking. In their underground prison, I rescued hundreds of girls and three dragon maidens right in front of you."
Ye Guyi pursed her lips, remaining silent; she couldn't refute this.
That day, she never imagined that the always kind Shangguan Wei'er would be like that behind the scenes.
She was shocked to discover the darkness within the Ordinary Alliance, where she had lived for years. She felt even the brilliance of her own martial spirit had dimmed considerably.
"But you're also an evil spirit master!"
Ye Guyi could only use this reason to attack Otto.
That day, Otto led a large number of evil spirit masters to massacre the Ordinary Alliance, and the Odu Chamber of Commerce also suffered the same fate.
In the Mingdu underworld, only the Xishui Alliance remained, dominating the scene.
The former leader of the Xishui Alliance was Nangong Wan, whose old friend, the Masked Douluo, had recently died unexpectedly.
At Otto's suggestion, Ye Xishui decided to send him to the Douluo Three Kingdoms to take over the Holy Spirit Cult network there and investigate the cause of Masked Douluo's death.
Otto estimated that the other party was probably long dead by now, and the "Nangong Wan" still active was either Amon or some Root group.
"You can't say anything carelessly. Being labeled an evil soul master would be deadly if it were on me."
"Miss Angel, if I were really an evil soul master, you, a holy angel, would already be dead without a burial place."
"Why should I let you continue to keep me by my side and raise a tiger to cause trouble?"
"Your martial soul shouldn't have detected any evil soul master aura on me, right?"
Every day after leaving the Holy Spirit Cult, Otto wished he could take a bath with concentrated sulfuric acid to make sure he didn't smell of evil soul masters at all.
You know, Kallen hates evil soul masters the most. If he smelled of an evil soul master, he wouldn't dare to see Kallen.
"Who, who knows if you have any hidden abilities! Soul Masters' martial souls are incredibly diverse."
Ye Guyi was still being stubborn. She actually knew Otto wasn't an evil soul master. If he were, she would have already tried to escape.
Even if she couldn't escape, she would have self-destructed to give Otto a big surprise.
Otto didn't care about her attitude. In his eyes, it was just a little girl throwing a tantrum.
Having raised Theresa for so many years, he knew children's tempers all too well. Theresa could be much more stubborn than him.
Besides, what adult would really get angry at a child? This blonde girl was probably three rounds younger than Theresa.
Children being stubborn is normal; it just shows that the other person has a good mental state.
"Say what you will."
"I have a task for you."
"Recently, a group of sea monsters have arrived on the mainland.
They're very strong, and the Star Luo Empire is currently embroiled in a fierce battle."
"Once things calm down, these sea monsters will head to the Douling Empire."
"If nothing unexpected happens, the Douling Empire will descend into chaos. The Holy Spirit Cult won't miss out on this chaos and will definitely send a steady stream of evil spirit masters to the Douling Empire."
"At that time, I will appoint you as an envoy of the Holy Spirit Cult to take over the evil spirit master network in the Douling Empire, making you the leader of the evil spirit masters in that region."
"You will arrange for these evil spirit masters to fight against the sea monsters."
"I remember you can become stronger by killing evil spirit masters?"
"This is also a good opportunity for you. With so many evil spirit masters, as a high-ranking member, you can secretly kill some without any problem."
Ye Guyi's eyes widened upon hearing this, and she stomped her foot, saying,
"Are you even conscious?!"
"I have a holy attribute! Those evil spirit masters feel uncomfortable just being around me.
How can I become the leader of the evil spirit masters in the Douling Empire?"
"And to make an angel the head of evil spirit masters, you really are a devil with a truly wicked sense of humor!"
Otto confidently waved his hand and said,
"No big deal, I'll help you perfectly conceal the angel's aura."
"And I'll also send others to assist you, so you can rest assured and treat these evil spirit masters like spirit beasts."
"Remember to kill as many evil spirit masters as possible behind your back. I hope that next time I see you, your Holy Angel will have become a four-winged angel."
"As the person with the purest angelic bloodline on the continent, you have the potential to become a six-winged angel."
Ye Guyi's Holy Angel is of the Holy attribute, the closest to the Holy attribute of a six-winged angel. In terms of angelic bloodline, she is the purest among all natural humans.
Once she breaks through to Soul Saint, she can basically guarantee evolving to four wings.
If she breaks through to Title Douluo without a Soul Core, she should be able to become a six-winged angel.
With a Soul Core, it's not certain, but breaking through to Title Douluo will be much easier with a Soul Core.
Ye Guyi was silent for a while. She raised her head and looked into Otto's emerald green eyes.
The man in front of her always had a confident smile on his face.
Anyone allied with him would feel genuinely at ease upon seeing that confident smile.
"Bishop Otto, what exactly is your purpose?"
Otto turned his back to Ye Guyi and walked towards Jing Hongchen, who had just arrived in the distance.
A voice reached Ye Guyi's ears.
"For retirement."
