Latio's laboratory.
Spirit Kite Douluo returned from the company and came over to report on the progress.
As soon as she entered, she saw a burly back, kneeling behind Master Latio.
"Hey! You big dumb bear! You actually want to steal a march on me?!" Spirit Kite Douluo snorted coldly, immediately turning into a streak of fire and charging over.
Demon Bear Douluo looked back and said coldly: "Spirit Kite! This is Master Latio's laboratory! Are you really going to mess around here again? You really have no sense of propriety! How can someone like you be worthy of being Master Latio's assistant?"
"!!!"
Spirit Kite Douluo hurriedly stopped, looking at Demon Bear Douluo with lingering fear.
This seemingly rough man was far more cunning than she had imagined, and in their very first clash, he had silenced her with just a few words!
That's right, if even the other party could think of something like this, how had she failed to consider it?
Spirit Kite Douluo became vigilant inwardly, she could not continue being this impulsive.
Her position was being coveted not only by Demon Bear Douluo, but probably by many Titled Douluos as well!
"Demon Bear! What are you doing here? And kneeling too, are you trying to pressure Master Latio? Then let me tell you, you've miscalculated!" Spirit Kite Douluo walked in front of Demon Bear Douluo, hands on her hips as she spoke.
Demon Bear Douluo's face darkened, this woman who was even more reckless than a man was actually brazenly taking advantage of him?
Latio said indifferently: "Enough, Elder Spirit Kite, I agreed to hire Elder Demon Bear as my assistant. Your timing is perfect, come sign the contract too, here, are your employment contracts."
Spirit Kite Douluo froze, "Me too? Aren't I already yours?"
"!!!" Demon Bear Douluo froze, stood up, took the contract from the table, and pretended he had heard nothing.
Truth be told, although Spirit Kite Douluo, this old virgin, liked to act young, she really was stunningly beautiful.
Back then, the men pursuing her could probably have circled Spirit City three times!
It was completely understandable that Master Latio had failed to resist her temptation!
Latio glanced indifferently at Spirit Kite Douluo and pointed at the contract on the table.
Spirit Kite Douluo pouted, she wanted to establish a closer relationship with Master Latio, but unfortunately, he was too cold!
Picking up the contract, she casually glanced over it and felt even more aggrieved.
Master Latio did not regard her as one of his own, but instead treated it as an equivalent exchange, using compensation in return for labor.
One hundred-thousand-year soul bone in exchange for one year of labor.
At the same time, there was also a large subsidy of gold soul coins.
These were treasures any soul master would dream of, yet she wore a miserable expression, and after signing her name, handed it to Latio.
Demon Bear Douluo did the same, in truth, both of them hoped they could "sell themselves" to Latio.
Unfortunately, they wanted to sell themselves for favor, but Latio was unwilling to accept two "slaves".
"Master Latio, I heard that good news came from the Scholars Alliance, saying that Yu Xiaogang has made progress regarding bloodline-inherited martial souls, tch, I think they're just bluffing!"
Spirit Kite Douluo did not believe it at all, she looked down on Yu Xiaogang.
Demon Bear Douluo analyzed: "In my view, it's most likely that Yu Luomian didn't want to be punished, so he hurriedly released this news."
Latio was silent for a moment, he was actually quite happy to see this become reality.
In his eyes, the natives of Douluo Continent were like toddlers learning to walk, even if they merely stood up and thought independently, it was something worth celebrating.
Rather than being like before, scheming against one another in every possible way just to become his test subjects.
As for who would be the first person to "stand up", he did not mind.
"By the way, Master Latio, on the soul beast side, that Zi Ji wants to see you, should we receive her?" Spirit Kite Douluo asked curiously, looking nervously at Latio.
She recalled the feeling that woman had given her when she came into contact with Zi Ji.
She was basically walking hormones, making no attempt to hide her desire for Master Latio.
Letting Zi Ji meet Master Latio would definitely be dangerous!
Latio shook his head and said: "No need. Your current task is to run the company and keep an eye on developments in the soul master world. You don't need to concern yourselves with anything else."
"Understood Master Latio!" Spirit Kite Douluo immediately became happy.
Demon Bear Douluo said respectfully: "Master Latio, I'll head to the company right now and begin sales, before this, I recruited some employees, so we can work more systematically, and then coordinate with all parties, including establishing academies!"
In order to be a good "dog" for Master Latio, he had made ample preparations.
Spirit Kite Douluo was dumbfounded, staring blankly at Demon Bear Douluo.
Compared to this third wheel, she was instantly outclassed so thoroughly that not even scraps remained!
"..." Why the hell are you trying so hard!
...
The room where Di Tian was staying.
This was the highest-grade hotel in Spirit Hall for receiving foreign guests.
Even Xue Qinghe, the crown prince of Heaven Dou, was not qualified to stay here, yet Di Tian had moved in.
Now, Zi Ji and Bi Ji had also been arranged to stay here, of course, this suite did not have only one room.
Di Tian pointed at the living room sofa and said with a cold expression: "Zi Ji, sit!"
Zi Ji folded her arms and plopped down, tilting her head up with an expression that said she yielded to no one.
Bi Ji watched this scene, worry appearing on her face as she whispered: "Zi Ji, you..."
"Zi Ji! Why did you act on your own? Do you know this is Spirit City? Even I might be forced to stay here, let alone you? And you didn't even follow my instructions..."
Di Tian suppressed his anger as he reprimanded Zi Ji.
Zi Ji snorted: "Di Tian! You have no right to stop me from doing anything! Anyway, I've already decided to stay! I'm going to pursue Master Latio here! No one can stop me!"
"Zi Ji..." Bi Ji looked helpless.
Di Tian's face flushed red with anger, this little sister of the clan was truly outrageous!
However, he had originally wanted to help bring Zi Ji and Master Latio together, it was just that with Zi Ji's personality, she would probably only make things worse.
"Bi Ji, since that's the case, you stay too." Di Tian suddenly said to Bi Ji.
Bi Ji froze, a trace of delight flashing through her eyes, "Me...?"
Di Tian nodded, "With you by her side, I can be a little more at ease!"
...
Spirit Hall, Supreme Council.
The initiator of this council meeting was not Pope Bibi Dong, but the Worship Hall.
Aside from Light Feather Douluo, who was still lingering in the Star Dou Great Forest and reluctant to leave, all the other worshippers were present.
Not a single elder or platinum bishop was absent, all of them were seated.
Their gazes all fell on the center of the meeting, at Bibi Dong's position, she was no longer seated in the main seat like last time, but instead stood in the center, as though awaiting judgment.
Just from this scene alone, everyone already understood the purpose of today's Supreme Council meeting!
After all, such a huge scandal had occurred during Bibi Dong's tenure.
