211. Chapter 211 Tang San: I was wrong

"Why?"

Qianxunji murmured, turning his gaze to Dai Mubai, and said:

"I've also heard of Dai Mubai; he's lustful by nature, having been with at least dozens, if not hundreds, of women."

"And you, Zhu Zhuqing, are strong-willed, kind-hearted, and well-proportioned; in the Pope's view, Dai Mubai is utterly unworthy of you."

"So just now I came up with this inferior plan, to let you see Dai Mubai's true face."

""That's how it is."" Zhu Zhuqing, listening to Qianxunji's explanation, instantly understood his intention.

"If Qianxunji hadn't just choked her neck, she wouldn't have seen that Dai Mubai is actually selfish and self-interested."

"Otherwise, she would still be deceived by Dai Mubai, and even hand herself over to this selfish bastard."

"If that were the case, she might as well be dead."

"Thinking this, Zhu Zhuqing bowed to Qianxunji and sincerely said:"

""Your Holiness the Pope, thank you so much; Zhu Zhuqing has nothing to repay you with.""

""No, you can repay me."" Qianxunji said with deep meaning.

"Hearing that she could repay Qianxunji, Zhu Zhuqing felt a surge of excitement; after all, although she is merely a woman, she also dislikes being in debt."

"Now being able to repay Qianxunji for helping her see through Dai Mubai's true nature is a lifelong matter, indeed a great favor; she naturally must repay it immediately."

"However, seeing Qianxunji's meaningful expression, Zhu Zhuqing felt a bad premonition rise in her heart."

"Nevertheless, even with a bad premonition, she still had to repay the debt."

"Thinking this, Zhu Zhuqing asked:"

""Your Holiness the Pope, how should I repay you? Please tell me.""

""Hehe!"" Qianxunji stroked his chin, his gaze scorching as it swept over Zhu Zhuqing up and down, finally resting on her immense wickedness, and said:

""The Pope sees you as a rare... good woman, so I wish to take you as a concubine; if you want to repay me, you may marry me.""

""Ah? \" Zhu Zhuqing gasped, her heart startled, she quickly stepped back half a pace and said:"

""Your Holiness the Pope, this must not be done.""

""Why must it not be done? \" Qianxunji stepped forward and seized Zhu Zhuqing's small hand with his chin."

"He felt her hand warm and smooth like jade, her skin delicate and fair."

"Zhu Zhuqing thought for a moment, looked at Qianxunji, and said:"

""Your Holiness the Pope, although you have helped me greatly and I ought to repay you, letting me marry you is a lifelong matter; it cannot be taken lightly, and repaying you is not the same as marrying you.""

"Qianxunji shook his head and corrected:"

""How is this two matters? It's entirely one matter; if you say it's two, it's because your sincerity in repaying me is insufficient.""

""If your sincerity in repaying me were sufficient, you could give up everything, let alone merely marrying me.""

""Is there such an argument? \" Zhu Zhuqing looked at Qianxunji, bewildered, unable to fathom his logic."

"At the same time, she felt it improper to be held by him in public."

"Moreover, although she had already seen Dai Mubai's true colors and they had practically broken up, just a dozen minutes ago he was still her boyfriend."

"With Qianxunji doing this in front of Dai Mubai, letting her marry him, what would Dai Mubai think?"

"What would everyone think?"

"Thinking this, Zhu Zhuqing turned her gaze to Dai Mubai. Indeed, Dai Mubai lowered his head, silent, without any anger on his face."

"But Zhu Zhuqing understood Dai Mubai, knowing he was now furious to the extreme."

"She had seen Dai Mubai's shoe toes twitching incessantly; that was because he dared not clench his fists, fearing Qianxunji would notice, so he could only strain to curl his toes."

"If not for the good quality of his shoes, they would have been ruined by his toes."

"However, no matter how angry Dai Mubai was, Zhu Zhuqing no longer cared what he thought."

"Because, from his earlier silent disregard of her peril, she had completely lost hope in him."

"Faced with Qianxunji's desire for her to marry him as a concubine, Zhu Zhuqing found it hard to accept at once."

"In her view, even if she married Qianxunji, they ought to at least date first."

"Although she was somewhat unwilling to become Qianxunji's concubine, given his status, being his concubine would also be a blessing for Zhu Zhuqing."

"But it's just too fast; they should at least date—how could she accept it so quickly?"

"Thus, Zhu Zhuqing turned her gaze to Tang San, hoping he could help her say a few tactful words."

"Tang San sensed Zhu Zhuqing's gaze, and the clever him instantly understood her thought."

"Logically, given Qianxunji's immense strength, Tang San could not possibly help Zhu Zhuqing speak at this moment."

"But Tang San and Qianxunji share a grudge; the eunuchs were all caused by Qianxunji, and her mother's hundred-thousand-year spirit beast, Dogtail Grass, is also in Qianxunji's hands."

"Therefore, Tang San decided to help Zhu Zhuqing utter a few polite refusals. Of course, he wasn't doing it for Zhu Zhuqing; he simply wanted to oppose Qianxunji."

"If he weren't unable to defeat his opponent, he would now kill Qianxunji."

"Although he wanted to kill Qianxunji, he is still too weak; he must not let Qianxunji see his hatred."

"Otherwise, he would bring about his own doom."

"Thinking this, Tang San hastily squeezed out a smile, looked respectfully at Qianxunji, and whispered:"

""Your Holiness the Pope, Zhu Zhuqing presently does not wish to marry; Your Holiness, your exalted status surely would not make things difficult for Zhu Zhuqing.""

"Having spoken, Tang San lowered his head and waited for Qianxunji's reply."

"In his view, his words were so respectful, moreover full of flattery toward Qianxunji, even giving him a tall hat; Qianxunji should not make things difficult for Zhu Zhuqing."

"Qianxunji looked at Tang San before him, extended his hand to rest on Tang San's head, lightly patted it, and said calmly:"

""Tang San, you seem to have some sense; then tell me, what should the Pope do?""

"Upon hearing this, Tang San's face lit with joy; he raised his head to look at Qianxunji and said confidently:"

His Holiness the Pope, in Tang San's view, you should not only not marry Zhu Zhuqing, but you should also give her a hundred-thousand-year Soul Ring.

That way, if it gets out, everyone on the continent will say His Holiness the Pope is magnanimous. Then, it will also be a fine story.

After Tang San finished speaking, he confidently looked at Qianxunji.

In his view, Qianxunji's strength was sufficient; all he needed was others' flattery. Speaking this way, Qianxunji would certainly accept it.

However, Qianxunji's face suddenly turned cold, his sharp eyes fixed on Tang San, and he said coldly:

"Tang San, are you teaching me what to do?"

Tang San looked at Qianxunji, whose face had drastically changed, and a sudden fear rose in his heart; he hastily said:

"His Holiness the Pope, Tang San knows his mistake."

"Wrong, damn it!"

Qianxunji gave a cold shout and slapped Tang San across the face.

"Smack!"

Instantly, a loud slap sound rang out across the square.

Tang San was also sent flying backward by that slap, like a kite smashed several meters in the air, finally crashing heavily to the ground.
