Chapter 457 (1/2)
Chapter 457
The air in the morning was really fresh. There were droplets of dew lying on top of the green leaves. This was a charming and peaceful scene.
The magic door of the secret room slid open and a soft sound could be heard. The moment the door slid to both sides, a blue haired beautiful woman who was wearing an ordinary dress stepped out. Her complexion was pale and she didn’t look too good.
“I actually failed at the final part? Success was just within reach… This is really too hateful.” The beautiful woman walked into the courtyard as she cursed in her heart. Who exactly was that person who intervened at the critical moment? If everything had gone according to the plan, Shui Linglong would have already fallen under her control. Now however……
“Ye’er, why were you in the secret room for the whole of last night? Your complexion looks very bad, what happened?” When he saw that his wife wasn’t feeling too good, the Dark Pope quickly walked towards her and asked with concern.
The eyes of beautiful woman flashed and her expression immediately reverted back to normal. She hurriedly replied, “My husband, I am fine. It’s just that I tried to activate the dark spirit tablet yesterday. However, I didn’t make any progress on it which made me feel kind of bad in my heart.”
The Dark Pope held onto her shoulders and he sighed, “Ye’er, it doesn’t matter if we cannot reveal the secrets of this dark spirit tablet. The most important thing is your health. You cannot harm your body over this matter.”
The beautiful woman was visibly moved by the Dark Pope’s words and she nestled into his bosom. The pair which had been an old married couple hugged each other quietly as they stood in the courtyard.
“By the way, my husband, didn’t you say that that boy Ximen Yu obtained the Lightning G.o.d’s inheritance? Maybe he has already grasped the method to unseal the spirit tablet. Should we capture him?” After a long time, the beautiful woman offered her suggestion.
The Dark Pope was dumbfounded and thought about it for quite some time. After carefully thinking about it, he said, “But the strength of that boy is unpredictable. Moreover, he is as crafty as an old fox. It’s very difficult to capture him.”
“My husband, how can you be so stupid? Although Ximen Yu is powerful, Saintess Leng Youyou and Lingr of our church have deep relations with him. Can’t we just lead the snake out of its burrow?” A cold light flashed in the beautiful woman’s eyes and she gave her suggestion as the Dark Pope embraced her.
“That is a good
way. However, if Lingr learns about this, it would be troublesome.” The Dark Pope muttered.
“As long as we don’t say it, how would Lingr know?” The beautiful woman replied.
When all of this was going on, a hint of a dark shadow quietly retreated from the corner. The shadow ran in the opposite direction, away from the old couple. This shadow was none other than Feng Ling.
The moment she ran out of the hall, a man brushed past her. He was covered in a black robe and seemed to be extremely mysterious. He looked at Ling Feng who was running away hastily but he didn’t think too much about it. He slowly walked towards the small courtyard which belonged to the Dark Pope.
“Lafaer greets Your Majesty the Pope.” The man cloaked in black clothes respectfully greeted the Dark Pope. He was h.e.l.l Priest Lafaer who had just returned from Blue Moon City.
“I heard about what happened in Blue Moon City. Start talking, tell me everything without leaving out any details.” The Dark Pope said in an indifferent voice.
Lafaer didn’t add superfluous words. He was brief and concise when talking about what happened in Blue Moon City. Finally, he turned to look at the beautiful woman who was in the Dark Pope’s embrace with some hesitation in his eyes. He swallowed the final words of Mist Fairy.
Dark Pope and that beautiful woman fell into silence and sighed after a long time, “Since Fairy has instructed, forget it. It seems like our Dark Church is unable to insert ourselves in the Nalan Empire. It’s such a pity, that was a good chance.”
The beautiful woman coldly snorted and said, “Does that smelly woman think that she can do whatever she wants just because our Dark Church owes her? Now, all the benefits have gone to the Ximen Clan. She is clearly standing on Ximen Yu’s side.”
“Ye’er, what kind of nonsense are you speaking? Could you have forgotten the abilities Fairy possess?” The complexion of Dark Pope sunk as he lowered his voice.
The beautiful woman was startled and her entire body involuntarily shuddered. With a wave of her sleeve, she disappeared.
Shaking his head, the Dark Pope recalled Mist Fairy who was like a celestial being. Veneration flashed in his eyes.
When he saw that the beautiful woman was gone, Lafaer continued to speak, “Young Majesty the Pope, Mist Fairy left some words for you.”
“What did she say?” Dark Pope asked.
“She told you to properly look after your wife. Don’t let her do things which will lead to regret later.” Lafaer lowered his voice. Just a moment ago, he didn’t open his mouth. That was because the Dark Pope’s
Pope’s wife was there as well. Now that she left, he didn’t dare to hide what Mist Fairy said any longer.
