Chapter 126: Mission Accomplished

"Mr. Pope." Su Xi said to the man wearing the ornate gold-patterned white robe, "Do you recognize this child?"

"Anjiya." When Aoni San Shi saw Xiao Juan, his pupils constricted slightly, and he even took a small step backward.

This is a person's instinctive reaction when facing a threat.

Su Xi noticed his movement, pulled Xiao Juan to her side, and squeezed her palm.

Xiao Juan looked at Su Xi, blinked, and said, "Big Sister, I was wrong; he doesn't look like my daddy."

Su Xi said, "Mm, it's fine that we couldn't see clearly from far away just now, let's go then."

She then said to Aoni San Shi, "Apologies, sorry to have bothered you, Mr. Pope."

She immediately left with Xiao Juan.

Gao Xing politely bowed to Aoni San Shi, "Your Holiness." Then he trotted to catch up with Su Xi.

Aoni San Shi watched Su Xi and the others walk away, gave a few perfunctory words to the congregants who had gathered around, and then left in a hurry.

Su Xi said to Xiao Juan, "He might know that you had turned into a ghoul."

Xiao Juan replied, "Xiao Juan doesn't want a daddy, I only want Big Sister."

Su Xi patted her head, "If you have family, you should still stay with your own family. It's just that this Pope's reaction makes me uneasy about leaving you with him."

"So that's why Big Sister gave me a hint?"

"Mm."

They walked through the atrium corridor.

Gao Xing suddenly shouted in surprise, "It's Archbishop Feiluo."

Su Xi looked over; a tall and slender figure was dressed in a dazzling red robe, with light golden long hair draped loosely behind him, looking free and unrestrained.

His sharp, exquisite facial features were like a deity on a relief mural, and his whole body exuded a sacred and noble aura.

If the church clergy were the agents of God in the human world, then the person before them possessed even more authority than the Pope.

"Anjiya." Feiluo's deep, golden-brown eyes looked at Xiao Juan with surprise, "I have been looking for you, where did you run off to? Where is your mother?"

Xiao Juan gripped Su Xi's hand tightly, "Big Sister, I don't know him."

Only then did Feiluo notice Su Xi, and seeing that she was also carrying a sleeping child on her back, he lowered his voice to greet her, "Hello, Madam."

"Does the Archbishop know Xiao Juan?" Su Xi asked directly.

"Yes, she is my sister's daughter." Feiluo replied, and then took a photograph from the holy book he carried with him.

In the photo, Feiluo stood beside a gentle and beautiful woman, his gaze fixed on the child in the woman's arms.

And that child was Xiao Juan.

Xiao Juan froze the moment she saw the woman in the photo, and then a cluster of memories exploded in her mind...

She stood stiffly on the ground, her body trembling, "Uncle!"

Feiluo hugged Xiao Juan excitedly, "Thank goodness!"

Xiao Juan said with a trembling voice, "Mom turned into a ghoul, in the laboratory!"

"It's Xinyuan Shiyanshi." Su Xi said to Feiluo, then asked Er Miao, 【Can you find information about her mother?】

Er Miao replied: 【Already used as experimental material and disposed of by incineration.】

Su Xi looked at the uncle and niece and sighed inwardly.

"Thank you, Ms. Su, for saving Anjiya; I, Feiluo, owe you a great favor." Feiluo bowed to Su Xi in salute.

"You're welcome, we all like Xiao Juan very much; she is very smart and also very talented. In the future, if the Archbishop cultivates her well, she will be an outstanding person no matter what she does in the future." Su Xi gave Xiao Juan a Small Storage Bag, "Big Sister Xiao Mi is asleep, I don't know when she will wake up, so let's not wake her for now. You must listen to your uncle obediently in the future, you know?"

"I want to be with Big Sister." Xiao Juan reached out toward Su Xi.

Su Xi took her in her arms, "Big Sister still has things to do, I will come find you if there is a chance."

Xiao Juan hugged Su Xi's neck, "You must come! I will wait for Big Sister and Big Sister Xiao Mi forever and ever."

Su Xi kissed her little face, "Okay!"

Feiluo prayed devoutly, "May the Lord Holy Spirit bless Ms. Su and her friends and family."

"Thank you." Su Xi smiled.

【Congratulations to the Host for completing the Mo Ri Chong Qi Ren Wu! You have received one Resurrection Card and one skill card that can be brought into the battlefield!】 Er Miao's voice sounded.

Su Xi was confused, 【I haven't done anything yet, how is the mission completed?】

Er Miao paused for a few seconds, 【Host, Archbishop Feiluo is the true Master of Luck who will save this world. Xiao Juan is the key; she determines whether Feiluo destroys the world or saves it.】

【... I thought it would be him.】 In Su Xi's mind, the image of Yu Cheng flashed by for an instant.

After saying goodbye to Feiluo and Xiao Juan, Su Xi left Bailanmu Cathedral with Gao Xing.

"Uncle, I like Big Sister Su Xi, Big Sister Xiao Mi, and Gao Xing." Xiao Juan said to Feiluo.

Feiluo held her and said, "Ms. Su and Xiao Mi, I cannot see through them; it is as if a mysterious power prevents any investigation. Gao Xing has potential for spiritual energy and can be awakened with a little development. Of course, our little Anjiya also has potential for spiritual energy."

"Really?" Xiao Juan touched the Small Storage Bag hanging around her neck, "I will work hard to become a spiritual energy user and be able to teleport just like Big Sister."

"Teleport? That would be a spatial spiritual energy user."

"No, Big Sister is a lightning spiritual energy user."

"Oh? Dual spiritual energy is a rare type." Feiluo held her, and his body gradually exuded a special energy that enveloped Xiao Juan, "This is the Holy Mi Barrier; with this, ghouls will never be able to get close to you again. Let's go to Xinyuan Shiyanshi and find your mother."

Feiluo's expression gradually became solemn.

Su Xi hadn't gone far with Gao Xing when she heard Er Miao say that the special energy source had been found; it was Feiluo's spiritual ability—the Holy Mi Barrier.

【The power of the chosen one is indeed extraordinary. But this path is not easy to walk...】 Su Xi looked toward the direction of the cathedral; the Pope alone was not a person to be trifled with.

【There is a proverb in this world—to wear the crown, one must bear its weight; to hold the rose, one must bear its thorns.】

【Mm.】

Su Xi held Gao Xing's hand, "Let's go back to Xingyue Grand Hotel."

Gao Xing said, "I didn't expect Xiao Juan to be the niece of Archbishop Feiluo. I admire Archbishop Feiluo very much; he is extremely powerful!"

"Oh? Tell me about it."

"He broke into Heiyuan City all by himself and still managed to retreat unscathed."

"I have also been to Heiyuan City, and I also retreated unscathed~" Su Xi laughed.

Gao Xing looked at her in shock, "Starting today, I will admire Sister Su Xi, and no longer admire Archbishop Feiluo."

"Haha~ You fickle little one."

Upon arriving at the Xingyue Grand Hotel, Er Miao reminded Su Xi that Yu Cheng was in the Rooftop Garden opposite.

She put Xiao Mi on the bed to sleep, told Gao Xing to play as he pleased in the living room for a while, and then went up to the rooftop alone.

Seeing her arrive, Yu Cheng's expression was solemn.

Su Xi paused slightly, "What is it?"

"I saw with my own eyes Cheng Jun being attacked by a corpse ghost and becoming an infected one," Yu Cheng said, opening the monitor placed on the coffee table and playing a video; it was exactly the scene in the banquet hall where she saved Lady Gao and the others.
