Where did this pretty boy come from?

Chapter 252 Where did this pretty boy come from?

Sunlight shines on the colorful glazed tile roof, making the entire Papal Palace appear radiant and magnificent.

This was Lu Mingfei's second time standing in front of this building. Because of his improved strength, he was less apprehensive and more composed than before.

"Please wait a moment." The cardinal led him into a side reception room to wait.

Lu Mingfei nodded, casually found a chair and sat down. He had to admit, it was indeed the territory of the number one charlatan on the mainland; it was grand in every way.

Meanwhile, inside the main papal palace, Bibi Dong was reviewing reports on the earth-shattering battle that had broken out two days earlier on the northwestern edge of the Star Dou Great Forest.

Four years ago, the battle for the Beast King in the central region shook the entire continent, and the impact of this battle is far more terrifying than that of four years ago.

Many people witnessed the arrival of the colossal dragon, which was thousands of meters long. What troubled her even more was that, in addition to the dragon spirit beast in the Star Dou Great Forest, there were two other forces that were evenly matched with it.

The location of Wuhun City is not far from the Star Dou Great Forest. As a Rakshasa God Examiner, Bibi Dong could clearly sense that it was definitely a collision of god-level power. Both sides were stronger than that guy Qian Daoliu.

In particular, one of the auras made even her Killing God Domain tremble. Without a doubt, it was the legendary inheritance of the Asura God, which was the nemesis of the Rakshasa God she had inherited.

Bibi Dong felt that this world was utterly absurd. First, Qian Renxue awakened the Nine Trials of Angels and progressed rapidly.

Then another Heavenly Rakshasa appeared, and her progress in the divine examination far surpassed that of her Asura successor.

Furthermore, a demigod-level true dragon soul beast appeared in the Star Dou Great Forest, thwarting her plan to hunt for a 100,000-year soul ring.

In addition, there is a hidden power that has also reached the level of a demigod, but whose identity is unknown.

When exactly did the situation on the entire Douluo Continent become so incomprehensible to her?

It was said that only one god-level expert would appear every tens of thousands of years, but in the past few years, they've been popping up one after another like dumplings being dropped into a pot.

And it just so happens that he deliberately goes against her when he's preparing to carry out his plan, right?

"Teacher." Hu Liena looked at the report that Bibi Dong had crumpled into a ball and spoke cautiously in a soft voice, "Teacher, Lu Mingfei just came alone and wanted to see the Holy Maiden. He said he had important matters to discuss, and someone has already gone to inform the Elders' Hall."

Since the end of the Soul Master Competition three years ago, Hu Liena has been taken in as a disciple by Bibi Dong, serving by her side and assisting Bibi Dong in managing the Spirit Hall.

"Lu Mingfei? What's he doing here?" Bibi Dong frowned slightly. When did their Spirit Hall's reputation become so good? A young genius actually dared to come alone. Wasn't he afraid that they would play some tricks?

"He disappeared for three years, so why is he suddenly looking for the Holy Maiden?"

As soon as she spoke, Bibi Dong suddenly thought of Qian Renxue's recent outing. Could it be related to this Lu Mingfei?

"Nana, summon him here. I want to hear what he has to say to the Holy Maiden," Bibi Dong said, her tone somewhat cold.

"Yes." Hu Liena bowed and then turned to leave, heading towards the reception room.

She still remembers that final match where she was swept aside by Lu Mingfei in one move. More than three years have passed, and under Bibi Dong's careful guidance, she has become a Soul Emperor. How strong must Lu Mingfei be now?

Lu Mingfei was sipping his tea when he heard footsteps at the door. He quickly put down his teacup, wiped his mouth, and was surprised to see not Qian Renxue, but another familiar face—Hu Liena.

When he saw the other person, Lu Mingfei subconsciously smiled and scratched his head. His only interaction with this member of the Golden Generation was casually clearing out a wave of elite monsters. Now that they met, he felt a little awkward.

Seeing Lu Mingfei scratching his head, Hu Liena's resentment vanished instantly. This guy's smile is so silly!

Is it really the same person who defeated them with such great power before?

However, she quickly regained her senses.

"Lord Lu Mingfei, His Holiness the Pope has instructed me to take you to see her."

"Ah—oh—okay." Lu Mingfei was surprised at first, then nodded. He thought that Qian Renxue might be busy with the divine examination and wouldn't have time. Anyway, it would be the same to tell the Pope this news.

When Lu Mingfei arrived at the main hall, he saw Pope Bibi Dong sitting in the main seat again.

The other party was almost the same as three years ago, except that his aura was obviously more restrained and profound, and also carried a faint sense of threat.

Clearly, this pope is far more unfathomable than he appears on the surface.

"Teacher, Lu Mingfei has been brought here." Hu Liena said and stepped aside.

"Greetings, Your Majesty the Pope." Lu Mingfei bowed with his hands clasped.

Bibi Dong carefully examined Lu Mingfei. She had to admit that after three years, he had completely shed his youthful naiveté, but he also seemed even more of a nuisance.

"Let's get down to business. What do you want to see the Holy Maiden about?" Bibi Dong asked coldly.

Three years ago, Bibi Dong might have considered recruiting him, but now that there are so many god-level experts, even if Lu Mingfei is a genius, he can't wait for him to grow up.

She had actually guessed Qian Renxue's thoughts.

However, intelligence indicates that this guy was previously very close to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School and the eldest daughter of the Zhu family. The fact that she didn't slap him to death is already considered very lenient.

Lu Mingfei felt as if a cold Siberian wind had suddenly blown in front of him.

He was unsure where Bibi Dong's inexplicable hostility towards him came from, and could only wipe away non-existent cold sweat from his forehead: "Your Holiness the Pope, I have come today to inform the Holy Maiden of something. In the great battle in the Star Dou Great Forest two days ago, one of the sides was Tang Chen of the Haotian Sect. I hope the Holy Maiden is aware of the implications."

"It's that old guy." Bibi Dong's pupils shrank immediately. Everyone in the Spirit Hall knew the name Tang Chen.

Without a doubt, this is a huge problem. The Haotian Sect was already troublesome, and with Tang Chen, who obtained the Divine Test, the trouble is even greater.

"Besides Tang Chen and that real dragon, who else is there?" Bibi Dong stared at Lu Mingfei and pressed him for an answer. They had sent so many people to investigate, but no one had been able to find out who the other two were. How did Lu Mingfei know? Unless he was there at the time.

Lu Mingfei felt uncomfortable under Bibi Dong's gaze, but he didn't want to show off. Qian Renxue hadn't told her about her strength, so he naturally wouldn't say either: "This junior is also unaware, but her stance should be against Tang Chen."

"Oh, I see." Bibi Dong suddenly smiled. "But why do I feel that you're not unaware, but rather unwilling to say?"

"However, that's alright. Telling us about Tang Chen's situation is a great achievement. Just tell me what reward you want, as long as it's not excessive, I can grant it."

"Thank you, Your Majesty. However, I am only here to deliver a message and do not need any reward. Now that I have finished speaking, I will take my leave." After Lu Mingfei finished speaking, he wanted to leave quickly. He always felt that Bibi Dong's eyes were like knives, giving him a chilling feeling.

However, when Bibi Dong heard these words, they took on a completely different meaning. Coming all the way from afar to deliver a message and not even asking for a reward, it was clearly a veiled attack.

These days, how dare these gigolos be so arrogant? They don't even carry anyone on their backs, just barging into people's homes!
