They all knew very well that Xia Lin did this mainly to drink yogurt, because she wanted to accelerate the growth of the goddess soul inside her body, and also wanted to become younger and more beautiful like Bai Zhiwei and the others!
Charlene was even more eager than anyone else for this, because as mentioned before, when Charlene inherited the bloodline of the Kelvin family, it caused some problems with her body. Although it is not visible at the moment because the bloodline was removed, she will still turn back to normal as her strength recovers and improves!
In this situation, Charlene naturally placed her hopes on the goddess's soul, which could transform their bodies...
After learning about this, Bai Zhiwei, Qin Lan, and Qin Ling all expressed their understanding and naturally did not object.
Besides, it was Qin Lan and the others who did it first...
Therefore, compared to the others, Qin Lan and the others are definitely more concerned about the new Princess Catherine right now, because she's so fierce!
And they were a bit too fierce!
Qin Feng, however, seemed completely captivated by it, having spent the entire day playing with Catherine. Bai Zhiwei and the others, naturally aware of its allure to men, eagerly sought Catherine's advice and experience...
What do you eat to grow so big?
It's big, but it doesn't sag at all. How did you do that?
So soon, Princess Catherine lost interest in caring about Queen Dowager Charlene, who was drinking yogurt. She knew that the girls around her were Qin Feng's most important people, and that building good relationships with them would only benefit her uncertain future.
So, since she was also eager to make friends, the group of girls quickly started chattering away. However, just as they were having a lively discussion, Qin Feng suddenly came back, and without saying a word, he picked up the Hu Bingjing and Hu Bingxin sisters, and then took turns entering their bodies with his "big sword" to begin exploring...
Then Catherine's eyes widened again!
Even so, the Hu sisters didn't stop talking at all. While they were leaning over the edge of the bathtub, meeting Qin Feng's thrusting movements, they still actively participated in their previous conversation. Most importantly, Bai Zhiwei and the others next to them didn't have any objections, and everyone continued to laugh and joke around!
Well, Princess Catherine then realized that she might have entered a real 'hell'...
Otherwise, why would this happen?
But why are Bai Zhiwei and the others all so beautiful?
Judging by their appearance alone, Catherine almost thought they were angels living in heaven... You know, Yuan Mengrui and the others are not only becoming more and more exquisite in appearance, but their body proportions are also perfect and impeccable. Most importantly, their skin is indescribable. Using words like "fair and smooth skin" would not be an exaggeration at all. In particular, Yuan Mengrui and the others' temperament is now like that of little fairies from heaven, without a trace of earthiness!
These kinds of women only exist in fairy tales, but Catherine has them right now, and in large numbers!
What? I'll become like that in a few days?
Because of His Majesty?
Moreover... the more times we do it with him, not only do our bodies become more perfect, but our strength also increases.
My God, Qin Feng really is a super devil!!
Chapter 143: To reconcile, send the Holy Maiden to me to play with.
Otherwise, how could Qin Feng possess such an abnormal ability?
But undeniably, this ability is incredibly attractive to women, isn't it? Isn't it just about succumbing to temptation? Isn't it just about falling into depravity? Isn't it just about being a moth drawn to a flame?
I'm willing to do anything to become a fairy!
In that instant, Princess Catherine suddenly realized that everything she had experienced today, though seemingly unbelievable, was actually perfectly reasonable!
So the reason why Qin Lan and Bai Zhiwei don't care is because they have every reason to not care!
Your Majesty, I suddenly want it too...
Seeing Princess Catherine suddenly become proactive and wiggle her hips to beg for his favor, how could Qin Feng possibly resist?
Therefore, when Qin Feng finally dressed properly and met the so-called 'Pope's Special Envoy' Maggie in the Qian Yuan Hall with Xia Lin, it was already late at night.
But that doesn't matter, the palace is still brightly lit, in fact, the lights have never been turned off during the days of vigil...
Moreover, as the emperor, Qin Feng can see you whenever he wants; that's his privilege. Even if he calls you over at two in the morning, you can only obediently obey.
Therefore, the young woman named Maggie showed no dissatisfaction on her face.
Of course, she dared not show any dissatisfaction. Upon seeing Qin Feng, she immediately and respectfully performed a deep bow before introducing herself, "Your Majesty, my name is Maggie. I am the younger sister of Talma, a high-ranking deacon of the Holy See, and also the chief spokesperson of the Church of Saintess. In addition..."
"Wait!" Qin Feng interrupted her directly. "Don't bother with titles and such. I'm not interested in hearing them, and I don't understand them anyway. Just tell me straight, what does that old man Pope mean by sending you here?"
"..." Qin Feng was probably the only one in the entire world who dared to call the Pope of Light "that old man," so Maggie was speechless for a moment before she spoke again, "His Holiness the Pope sent me to the Great Qin Empire for two main purposes. One is to supervise whether the princess of the Noah Empire has completed her mission. As for the second point, it is to personally express His Holiness the Pope's sincerity to Your Majesty..."
"Sincerity again?" Qin Feng chuckled upon hearing this. "I really like this word now. Tell me quickly, what is the Pope's sincerity?"
"His Holiness the Pope has the world at heart and cannot bear to see people suffering in misery..."
"Stop, stop!" Qin Feng waved his hand again, both amused and exasperated. "Speak like a human being, thank you!"
"His Holiness knows that His Majesty is fond of women, so he has prepared one hundred pure and carefully selected beauties, hoping to wipe away all past grievances with His Majesty."
"Damn it!" Qin Feng stood up abruptly. "A hundred? So that's all I'm worth in that old geezer's eyes! You go back and tell him to get ready, because when I storm the Vatican headquarters, I'll be bringing a hundred boars to give him a proper welcome!"
"Holy crap!" Charlene exclaimed, slapping her thigh. "My son is amazing! He actually came up with such an idea! Let's do it that way..."
"..."
Okay, actually Qin Feng was just saying it casually. After all, there are just too many jokes like this on Earth, but who would actually go and get a few pigs?
Only a pig would actually do that!
So Qin Feng's original intention was just to scare Maggie with this half-joking remark, and also to get her to show real sincerity... One hundred is considered sincerity? Where's Mei? I'm busy reciting poems about plum blossoms, but what about Lin Zaizai...?
Qin Feng was, after all, the emperor of the Great Qin Empire. Putting aside the three thousand beauties he received every three years, if he wanted, he could just say the word and all the women in the empire would line up for him!
You think you can even present a hundred of these as presentable?
But what Qin Feng didn't know was that his words gave his mother, Xia Lin, a chance to have a wild idea!
There's no need to reiterate Charlene's hatred for the Holy See. After all, she personally experienced the horrific Holy War and the despair of losing her family. So, if we're talking about who hates the Holy See the most in the world, it's undoubtedly Charlene. She even dreams of ending everything about the Holy See and has been plotting revenge on the Pope who orchestrated it all. To put it mildly, she hates him to the bone; to put it bluntly, she's an absolute sworn enemy!
Especially now, the sudden emergence of her son Qin Feng has given her immense hope. Perhaps it won't be long before she can lead countless experts and a large army to the Holy Court, capture that old turtle, and execute him by slow slicing!
No, it would be too easy on him to just let him die like that. He must experience the agony of being worse than dead before he dies...
The problem is that although Charlene has many ways to make the Pope suffer a fate worse than death, she always felt that these methods could only torment the Pope and could not allow her to fully vent her anger or let her vent the humiliation and despair she suffered in her youth. So she kept thinking about what way she could thoroughly humiliate the Pope and make him die with endless humiliation, and even never be able to turn his life around!
Then Qin Feng's joke hit the nail on the head: "Pig?"
Charlene suddenly had a flash of inspiration—that's it!
Aren't you, Pope of Light, high and mighty? Aren't you, Pope of Light, divinely ordained? Aren't you, Pope of Light, protected by the gods? Then I'll let everyone on this continent see your true colors, and see what kind of liars you really are!
Destiny?
Hmph, I'm really curious to know what the expressions will be on the faces of the entire Holy See and even the people of the entire Western Continent when they see their revered Pope of Light being openly assaulted by a hundred pigs in the pilgrimage square!
I'd like to know more: when this so-called divinely ordained and protected pope was being gang-fed to death by these boars, where were the gods he spoke of?
Therefore, an extremely excited Charlene slapped her thigh on the spot and happily made the decision!
But little did she know that her sudden jump startled Maggie, because Maggie then realized that the young woman who had been sitting silently beside her was actually the mother of Emperor Qin Feng of the Great Qin Dynasty. In other words, she was... Charlene Kelvin?
The only surviving member of the once-powerful Kelvin family, and currently the last person on the continent still named Kelvin!
Maggie's face immediately turned several shades darker, because she knew very well that she probably wouldn't be able to complete her mission this time... Even if she had the best eloquence, how could she possibly persuade someone who had been forced to the point of losing their family and being forced into exile to give up their hatred?
She's just Maggie, not the Goddess of Light!
However, even so, one should still try to fight for what is worthwhile. So, although Maggie herself was not optimistic about the conversation, she still forced herself to speak, "The one hundred I mentioned earlier does not represent His Holiness the Pope's full sincerity. He just wanted to use this method to tell Your Majesty that he is now willing to reconcile with Your Majesty. Therefore, whatever your request may be, His Holiness the Pope will try his best to fulfill it!"
"Really?" Qin Feng curled his lip. "It is said that Her Holiness the Holy Maiden of the Holy See is beautiful and otherworldly, as well as noble and pure. If the old Pope can give her to me, then I will reluctantly accept his sincerity. Otherwise, you should go back and tell him to wash his ass!"
"Ah!?" Upon hearing this, Maggie immediately stood up. "In that case, I have nothing more to say... Your Majesty, please allow me to take my leave!"
"Approved!" Qin Feng didn't take it seriously either. After watching Maggie leave, he turned back and smiled at his mother, Xia Lin. "Has this Pope of Light lost his mind? He thinks he can negotiate with us based on these conditions... Hey, Mom, what's with that expression?"
"..."
Chapter 144: Holy crap, the Pope actually agreed!
"Feng'er, do you know who this year's Holy Maiden of Light is?"
"I don't know." Qin Feng shrugged. "I've never paid attention to the Western Continent, much less the Holy See. How would I know anything about these things? I was just saying it casually to get rid of Maggie... What, do you know this Holy Maiden Mother?"
“I do know her.” Charlene sighed softly. “Her name is Regina, and she used to be my very best friend.”
"Huh?" Qin Feng was a little confused. The Holy Maiden of the Holy See of Light and your mother? Best friends? Hey, hey, hey... You're a necromancer, and she's the Holy Maiden of Light. Aren't you two mortal enemies?
"Before the Holy War, although necromancers were not so popular, their status was not as low as it is now. Especially since my grandfather, Kerwin, was the strongest person on the continent and the only one to enter the eleventh level of the Holy Realm. He was very prestigious in the Western Continent. The dignitaries of various countries had close relationships with our Kelvin family. Even the Holy See often interacted with us, and we helped them with some things."
"..." There was such a past?
"And that's when I met Regina. I was about your age back then. I met her when I went to the Vatican, and we became best friends who could talk about anything. She's a very kind-hearted girl, so innocent and pure, just like a lily!"
"That……"
“Ever since the Holy War broke out, Regina has been helping me... In fact, if it weren’t for her, I might not have been able to escape alive, and naturally, you wouldn’t be here today!”
"Uh!" Qin Feng finally understood why his mother, Xia Lin, had that expression. If it was because of this connection, then what he had said earlier was indeed a bit too much. So he simply went over and hugged his mother, "I'm sorry, Mom, I didn't know any of this!"
"It's alright, she's not going to be sent over anyway..." (The rest of the text appears to be a series of unrelated phrases and sentences, possibly from different sources. A direct translation isn't meaningful as it's not a coherent sentence or paragraph.)
But sometimes, things don't go according to plan...
Moreover, Charlene's assessment of the situation was indeed too optimistic. After all, she was not in the Western Continent at all, and had been away for decades, so she could not possibly understand the enormous pressure that Pope Randolph Nichols was currently under.
This pressure wasn't just from his good-for-nothing son; Randolph, due to his advanced age, was also increasingly feeling the call of death. This was a keen perception unique to masters, and he even predicted that his own time was very, very near!
However, the most crucial issue is that he has made several wrong decisions in succession, which has not only damaged the prestige of the Papacy, but also caused resentment among the countries of the Western Continent. Even Randolph now feels that the archbishops who were once very close to him are looking at him differently. Although they have not said anything, Randolph understands that everyone has begun to doubt him.
So Randolph really doesn't have much time left!
Alternatively, he could quickly put his son on the "right path" and then, leveraging his current control over the Papacy, forcefully arrange for his son to become the next pope.
Either he has to be prepared to voluntarily 'abdicate', otherwise he will inevitably face a situation where everyone abandons him!
But the question is, what will happen to his two children once he loses his position as pope?
Are they hoping the next pope will treat them well?
Don't be ridiculous. How did he treat the children of the previous pope? He's deliberately making things difficult for himself by not eliminating the root of the problem.
Therefore, Randolph is now in a real hurry. The reason he rushed to let the Noah Empire take action against Qin Feng was actually to use this 'merit' to stabilize his prestige and buy some more time. After all, ending the Holy War and completely eliminating the 'remnants of the Holy War' is definitely a great achievement.
Unfortunately, the Noah Empire failed!
Moreover, according to the information obtained later, Qin Feng had completely "transformed into a dragon when the wind and clouds blow," and from then on, no one could restrain him. Especially after learning that Qin Feng had completely conquered the Inazuma Empire, Randolph also understood that the throne of the Great Qin Empire would inevitably fall to this guy. At that time, Qin Feng would not only be the ruler of a country, but also a super strong person, and the Holy See of Light would be even more helpless against him!
In this situation, reconciliation is the only way out, and now only Qin Feng can help him, because as long as he can pass on his strength to his son, all his troubles will naturally disappear!
So, when the Noah Empire sent Princess Catherine, Randolph also sent a special 'envoy' to accompany her. In fact, he gave Maggie a lot of authority. As long as Qin Feng could accept Princess Catherine and as long as Qin Feng showed a willingness to reconcile, he was really willing to pay any price!
He was willing to accept all of Qin Feng's harsh conditions...
Unfortunately, Maggie, as the envoy, did not understand the Pope's true thoughts. She thought this was a 'normal negotiation', so she initially offered very small bargaining chips, thinking that she could gradually increase them if the negotiation did not go smoothly. As a result, she angered Qin Feng!
a hundred?
Who are you trying to humiliate?
However, even if Maggie increases her stakes, it will never include Her Majesty the Holy Maiden. Not to mention that she is a member of the Holy Maiden Church and will naturally do everything she can to protect the Holy Maiden, what does the Holy Maiden mean to the Holy Church?
To put it bluntly, the Holy Maiden is a banner and an image of the Holy See, so every Holy Maiden is required to be the purest, and is even forbidden from marrying for their entire lives!
What did Qin Feng just say? He actually wanted the Holy Maiden to make it for him?
Moreover, when Maggie learned that the woman sitting next to Qin Feng was actually Charlene Kelvin, she had already completely lost confidence in the negotiations. Upon hearing this, she didn't even have the mood to bargain anymore. She left on the spot and quickly used a magical letter to report the news to Pope Randolph, telling him that although Qin Feng had accepted Princess Catherine of the Noah Empire, he still harbored great hostility towards the Holy See and had no intention of reconciliation!
At this point, Maggie had even started packing her things to return to the Papacy.
But unexpectedly...
The next morning, as Qin Feng was earnestly praising the old emperor's life achievements in the Xuanwu Hall, someone suddenly came to inform him that Maggie, the special envoy of the Pope of Light, was requesting an audience.
It was still in the Qian Yuan Hall, and it was still the same group of people as yesterday. However, unlike Qin Feng and Xia Lin, who were chatting and laughing in high spirits, Maggie seemed to have slept very poorly last night. Her eyes were even visibly tired. Upon seeing Qin Feng, she immediately knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, His Holiness the Pope replied last night. He agreed to Your Majesty's request and is willing to give Her Holiness the Holy Maiden to Your Majesty. However, he also hopes that Your Majesty can grant him one small condition."
"Huh?" Qin Feng and Xia Lin were both stunned, their faces showing disbelief. "What is that old Pope thinking? He actually agreed to something like this? What are his conditions?"
"If only Your Majesty could help the Pope pass on his power to his son..."
"Tch!" As soon as Maggie said this, Qin Feng and Xia Lin immediately understood. Pope Randolph of Light wanted his son to inherit the papacy! He couldn't help but mock her without any politeness, "To make his son the pope, he's willing to betray everyone, even giving away Her Majesty the Holy Maiden. You still want to associate with a pope like that? You should advise him to give up on that idea as soon as possible. Although I admire the Holy Maiden, I have no intention of helping him and will absolutely not help him!"
“Actually…” Maggie hesitated for a long time, but finally she spoke, “Her Majesty Saint Regina is the Pope’s own daughter!”
"What?!" Not only Qin Feng, but even Xia Lin jumped up on the spot. This plot development...
Chapter 145: The thrill of playing with women is all about the sense of accomplishment.
Saintess Regina is actually the biological daughter of that old fox, the Pope of Light?!
