Douluo: After I Traveled Through the Book, I Became the Big Sister of Shrek

"It's a long story. I'm here because of the grace of the Saint." The red-haired young man sighed. "The internal division of the Pope's Palace, the current Pope has been afraid of the Saint for a long time, and plans to eliminate the Saint and her forces at the re-election meeting of the seven major sects. The Pope is suspicious by nature, and would rather kill the wrong person than let him go. He actually regarded all the sects with wooden sculptures of the Saint in the city as the Saint's forces, and wanted to kill all of them..."

Li Pu's eyes widened, and when he thought about what the black-clothed man had just said, he was immediately horrified: "Where did this come from?! When we joined the Spirit Hall, we never asked for anything in return. We just wanted a backer to live a stable life. This wooden sculpture was only for blessing and fortune. How come we are on the side of the Saint?!"

The red-haired young man smiled bitterly, "To be honest, I feel the same way. This wood sculpture was originally given to us by the Spirit Hall when we were recruited, but now it has become evidence to slander us. I was chased for thousands of miles because of this wood sculpture, and it was the Saint who saved my life and was willing to protect us... If you don't believe me, just take a look."

He took out a wooden sculpture from his chest. Under the moonlight, it was indeed a statue of a saint. The red-haired young man said, "The Spirit Hall Pope is too powerful. I am weak and alone, and I have no place to seek justice. Sect Master Li, you and I are just ants under the feet of the Pope. When the re-election meeting of the seven major sects is over, I am afraid we will not be able to escape death."

Li Pu was immediately panicked and angry: "What should I do?" After a while, he said angrily, "These scoundrels are really going too far!"

The red-haired young man paused and said, "The only solution now is to join the Saint."

Seeing Li Pu was stunned, he immediately said: "During the sacrificial ceremony, the Pope's Palace may change. At that time, Master Li does not need to do anything, just wait and see. Because the wooden statue caused the Pope's faction to be suspicious and massacred, the Saint felt deeply guilty about this. She has promised us that she will send people to protect all the sects attacked by the Pope's faction. Starting tomorrow, you will be able to see the Saint's people at the door."

"This..." Li Pu was still a little hesitant, "This... I need to think about it again..."

"There is no time, Sect Master Li." The red-haired young man shook his head. "Some of those men in black managed to escape, and we failed to stop them. They will definitely go back to report to the Pope tonight. If you don't agree, I'm afraid that when I come to you again tomorrow, I will see your corpse."

These words, which sounded like both threats and advice, gave Li Pu a shock, and he finally made up his mind: "Okay. Anyway, I'm going to die if I come to Wuhun City, so I might as well give it a try! Tell the Saint that I'm willing to join."

……

The Wind Bell Moon Shadow Sect was located in the suburbs, and everything that happened here was not noticed by the people inside Wuhun City. It seemed to be just a small wave in the long night, which soon disappeared under the calm sea surface.

At this time, the interior of the Pope's Palace in the center of Wuhun City was still brightly lit.

Hu Liena sat in her room, and could vaguely hear the heavy and tight footsteps outside through the door. Tonight was destined to be a sleepless night in the Pope's Palace. All the believers, including the elders, who entered and left Wuhun City had been subject to strict scrutiny since daytime, especially those who came back from outside Wuhun City. They even had to report their whereabouts every day for a year clearly.

This tedious work was obviously not easy to complete. Both the investigator and the investigated were very busy that day. And the culprit who caused all this was sitting in front of her so openly, looking particularly relaxed.

"You dare to show up?" Hu Liena gritted her teeth. "As long as I shout now, the people outside will immediately know of your presence and you will not be able to escape."

Lu didn't care: "The guards of the Pope's Palace are so strict, but I still slipped in. As long as I want, I can come and go freely in this place."

Hu Liena said nothing. She was not stupid, and naturally knew that Lu Ye must have some support for breaking in at this time. Even if he didn't, she couldn't be Lu Ye's opponent. As long as Lu Ye held her hostage, no one in the Pope's Palace could do anything to her.

Of course it would be a lie to say that she didn't hate this person. After leaving the Xingdou Great Forest, she, Xie Yue, and Yan had been in a coma for half a year, and had just woken up a few months ago. During this half year, she had not practiced at all, so her soul power level naturally fell.

Hu Liena was unwilling to accept this, but Xie Yue felt very fortunate, because the other Soul Saints who went to the Star Dou Great Forest together were either dead or crazy, and those who were able to return to the Pope's Palace have now become lunatics who can only speak all kinds of incomprehensible nonsense and make babble every day.

Bibi Dong, her teacher who had treated her best, seemed to have become much colder since they returned from the Star Dou Great Forest, and no longer took her to learn various matters related to the management of the Pope's Palace.

Ever since she met Lu Ye, nothing good has happened to her.

"What exactly do you want to do?" Hu Liena asked coldly.

"I've said it before, I have no intention of being your enemy." Lu Ye sighed, "I have no intention of being the enemy of the Spirit Hall. I came here just because I was afraid that I wouldn't have the chance in the future, so I wanted to ask you something."

She stopped smiling and said seriously, "You saw 'those things' when you were in the Star Forest, right?"

Hu Liena's expression froze.

She would never forget the scene at that time. When the overwhelming black fog pressed towards them like a mountain, all Hu Liena could feel was her own weakness and insignificance, as well as the fear of being powerless in the face of the indescribable force of a natural disaster.

"The black mist is very dangerous. As you can see, if we let it continue to devour, the entire continent will be completely destroyed sooner or later and become part of nothingness." Lu Ye said, "I paid a price you can't imagine to make the black mist a part of my power. Even so, I still have to worry about it turning against me in a critical moment. However, you, the three of you from the Golden Generation, and even Bibi Dong, actually possess the power of the black mist. How did you get these dangerous and evil powers?"

Hu Liena retorted: "What evil are you talking about? Don't you have this kind of power too?"

The deer also looked at her quietly.

Hu Liena suddenly realized that no, Lu was also trying to trick her.

She said this on purpose, using an emotionally charged adjective to criticize Hei Wu and test her reaction. Hu Liena responded as she wished, revealing her attitude towards Hei Wu.

"It seems that you think the black fog is a good thing." Lu also narrowed his eyes, "Let me guess what Bibi Dong told you. Is this the 'power of God'? Or is it a treasure bestowed by God?"

She observed the changes in Hu Liena's expression, and after a while, she nodded in understanding: "It seems to be pretty much the same."

Hu Liena: "..."

This person seemed to have the ability to read her mind. How could she have fun with him?

Lu also looked at her for a long while, then suddenly stood up from the chair and took out a dagger from somewhere.

Hu Liena was startled and stepped back subconsciously: "What are you going to do..."

The next second, the dagger did not stab her, but cut Luye's own arm.

The blade was extremely sharp, and it cut her flesh in an instant, with blood dripping from the narrow cut. Hu Liena's throat tightened, and before she could understand what Lu Ye's purpose was, she saw the blood that fell on the ground suddenly disappear without any warning.

To be precise, it did not disappear, but rather evaporated into the air, turning into thin black mist under the moonlight. The wound on Lu Ye's arm was surrounded by layers of black mist, which was like interwoven silk, threading the needle to mend her wound.

But in just a moment, the wound, which was not big to begin with, had completely healed.

If it weren't observed so closely, it would have been an amazing self-healing ability, but the evaporated blood seemed wrong no matter how you looked at it, and it gave people a creepy and weird feeling.

"I have already broken through level 80." Lu Ye lowered his eyes and looked at Hu Liena. "The higher the level, the closer my body will be to the black fog. When I become a Titled Douluo, I will completely turn into a monster like the black fog."

"Now, do you still think this power is a gift from God?"
