Chapter 331: I Am the Biggest Here

~7 min read 1,387 words

"What are you doing? Are you going to eat me?"

Qin Jian was stared at fixedly by Bibi Dong, and he couldn't help but lean back tactically, warning: "I'm telling you, I'm a plant, not an animal; I don't taste good."

Bibi Dong: "..."

"How did you come up with these messy ideas?" she couldn't help but ask.

"Where is it messy? It's clearly logical and has a clear train of thought, isn't it?" Qin Jian said.

Using experience from other worlds to enrich the existing system of this world certainly looks very novel.

"Alright then, I'll go back and take charge to ensure this set of yours can be implemented."

Bibi Dong happily put away the paper: "In this way, the Soul Hunting Team will not only be disbanded and reorganized, but they will also be more cohesive, and their combat effectiveness will become stronger."

Hearing that she finally agreed to leave Death Canyon, Qin Jian finally breathed a slight sigh of relief.

"Then you go, I will reconstruct Death Canyon as soon as possible," Qin Jian said, waving his hand.

"You seem very impatient..."

Bibi Dong's eyes narrowed slightly.

"Hm? Do I?"

Qin Jian blinked his eyes.

"I will stay for another three days to ensure the three of them don't encounter life-threatening danger before I leave," Bibi Dong said.

This woman is really... sigh...

Qin Jian: "..."

In the following three days, Qin Jian and Bibi Dong stayed at the Guard Army station in Death Canyon.

Qin Jian perfected his ideas for reorganizing the Guard Army, while Bibi Dong checked on the recent situation of Hu Liena and the other two from time to time.

According to her, although there were hardships and dangers, they could still hold on.

And those Guard Army knights also had their eyes opened even wider these three days.

They never imagined they would see such a scene: the Pope, who symbolizes the highest power of the Spirit Hall, was actually paired up with a man, staying together almost every moment.

What's more exaggerated is that the two of them were actually living in the same room; although they were separated into inner and outer chambers, it was still one room, wasn't it?

And they called it "close-body protection," but it was more like "close-body flirting"...

Now, everyone understood.

Qin Jian's public identity was Guard Commander, but in secret, he was basically the Pope's consort!

"It's been three days, and the three of them look like they can survive, so I'll go back. I imagine Elders Ju and Gui should have already successfully reorganized the Soul Hunting Team," Bibi Dong said.

"No wonder it wasn't Ju Douluo and Gui Douluo who came to send the three of them; so you sent them to take over the Soul Hunting Team," Qin Jian realized.

Bibi Dong smiled faintly: "No choice, if they weren't watching, those old guys in the Elder Hall would definitely transfer away all the elite Spirit Masters in the Soul Hunting Team. By then, what could you do leading a group of low-combat-power Spirit Masters?"

Qin Jian nodded.

This was indeed his oversight; no way around it, he wasn't born playing politics and schemes, his heart wasn't black enough...

"I'm leaving, don't you have anything you want to say?"

Before Death Canyon, before stepping onto the luxurious carriage, Bibi Dong turned back and said this.

Qin Jian was just wondering why she didn't just fly back—was she afraid of lacking prestige? —when the question came, and without thinking, he gave the standard answer: "I will miss you."

Bibi Dong's expression didn't change, but her earlobes turned a little rosy.

And the Guard Team knights waiting for her departure got goosebumps all over...

On the way back to the city, Bibi Dong sat alone in the carriage, a faint smile on her face as she looked out the window.

"So this feeling is this interesting... and... leaves one with endless aftertaste..."

"No wonder many people are trapped in love and cannot extricate themselves; this taste... is indeed so wonderful that one cannot let go..."

She gently stroked the Scepter in her hand, which seemed to still retain the warmth from when Qin Jian had grabbed it, and then, slowly, she let out a sigh.

"Pity... he is destined to never be my Pope's consort..."

"Compared to controlling the world, these little affections... are not worth mentioning!"

"..."

Inside Death Canyon.

Almost as soon as Bibi Dong left, Qin Jian began to implement his transformation plan.

Of course, besides isolating the canyon and casting eight city walls to divide it into nine levels of zones, the most critical part was distinguishing the levels of Evil Soul Masters.

He first categorized them according to the data on Evil Soul Masters he had organized over the past three days, and then focused on observing those Evil Soul Masters whose levels were temporarily unclear.

In this process, he naturally had to go into Death Canyon himself to expand his Domain for investigation.

"Commander, the scene inside the canyon is too tragic..."

The Knight Order Captain who originally guarded Death Canyon said: "Do you really not need us to accompany you?"

"No need, I am already mentally prepared."

Qin Jian righteously refused their proposal.

Just kidding, with a group of knights following behind, how could he go play with his little fox?

"But..."

The Captain hesitated slightly, but still said in a low voice: "But the Pope ordered that if you want to go into Death Canyon yourself, we must follow by your side to guard your safety."

Qin Jian: "..."

He knew this woman wouldn't be so easily fooled; even though she had been coaxed away, she had actually left a backup plan!

However, with the master away, I am the biggest here!

Qin Jian crossed his arms and said: "I actually don't need your protection. If there is truly danger in Death Canyon, you wouldn't be able to protect me at all."

The Captain was unconvinced: "How is that possible? I am, after all, at the Soul King level."

In his eyes, Qin Jian being able to receive the order to be commander was clearly not due to his own strength; looking at the Pope's behavior, one could tell it was due to nepotism.

Therefore, although he appeared respectful on the surface, in reality, he did not truly hold him in any regard.

"Hum, hum, hum..."

Qin Jian couldn't be bothered to waste words with him; there was no need to put on an act, so he simply unleashed his martial soul and revealed his Soul Rings.

"Yellow, Purple... Purple? Black! Black! Black!"

As expected, it truly blinded the eyes of the surrounding Guard Team knights.

"Alright, there are no objections now, right?"

Qin Jian brushed off his sleeves and turned to leave.

"Uh, that, Commander..."

That Knight Order Captain said hesitantly: "Although you do not need my protection, could you let me stay by your side as a guide? After all, Death Canyon is the area under my jurisdiction; I should always be in attendance, and besides, you are our commander, wouldn't it be bad if no one followed you?"

As he spoke, his words became smoother and smoother, as if it were truly the case.

Qin Jian glanced at him sideways: "It was the Pope who told you to keep an eye on me no matter what, right?"

"Uh..."

Even if you guessed it, don't say it out loud... How could a small pawn like me dare to meddle in the affairs between you Pope and Empress...

The Knight Order Captain was covered in cold sweat.

"I won't make things difficult for you, but there is a more important matter that needs you to do right now."

Qin Jian said: "You should thoroughly investigate these knights under your command."

"Commander, what... do you mean by this?" the captain asked.

Qin Jian spoke indifferently, but the content of his words made the captain's expression change drastically.

"After the Pope left, the lunch I just ate was poisoned, and it was the kind of deadly poison that kills you the moment you eat it!"
