Chapter 106: Stepping on the Pope’s Back! Su Yue’s Plush Doll!

​
“Huh? Really? I can?”
​
Bai Xuan was genuinely taken aback.
​
He’d only asked on a whim, never truly expecting Isiah to agree.
​
Was this what people meant by—
​
A sincere heart begets a sincere response?
​
“It’s just acting. Why not?” Isiah’s tone was flat, betraying no hint of emotion.
​
“Ahem—yes, Your Holiness is right.” Bai Xuan rubbed his nose, offering an awkward smile.
​
That’s right, it’s just acting.
​
But—
​
Suddenly, something occurred to him. He quickly asked, “By the way, what exactly is the Saintess Pendant?”
​
Isiah sidestepped the question, changing the subject with a calm, “The next time I unfreeze will be at 7 p.m. the day after tomorrow.”
​
“I’ll make a note of it.”
​
Bai Xuan immediately pulled out his phone, opened his memo app, and quickly typed: In two days, step on the Pope’s back.
​
Isiah: “?”
​
Afterward, Bai Xuan made his way to Lu Miaoyin’s room, only to find it empty.
​
Switching to his Legendary Perspective, he saw that she’d already returned to the Jade Cave Dwelling, quietly meditating.
​
“She went back?”
​
He was a bit surprised—Lu Miaoyin could come and go from the Jade Cave Dwelling freely.
​
As six o’clock approached, Bai Xuan finally returned home.
​
He pushed open the door to find the house shrouded in darkness.
​
“Su Yue isn’t back yet?”
​
—
​
He casually flicked the light switch, and the room was instantly bathed in warm light.
​
That was when he saw Su Yue, already home, curled up on the sofa in deep sleep.
​
“Oh? So you’re here.”
​
Bai Xuan paused, then tiptoed over.
​
He didn’t wake her. After quietly watching her for a moment, he turned and went into the kitchen, pulling a can of cola from the fridge.
​
He’d just taken a sip when Su Yue seemed to sense his presence and slowly stirred awake.
​
“You’re back.” She rubbed her eyes, speaking as she stretched with a lazy yawn.
​
“Yeah.”
​
Bai Xuan nodded and asked, “Where did you go today? And why did you fall asleep here as soon as you got back?”
​
“I—”
​
Su Yue rubbed her eyes, still half-asleep. Then, as if remembering something, she reached behind her and pulled out a delicate little bag.
​
She rummaged around for a moment before producing a cute plush doll.
​
“This is…?”
​
Bai Xuan looked puzzled, unsure of her intentions.
​
“Remember how that scientist suggested I find a ‘Spirit Anchor’ before?”
​
Su Yue handed him the plush doll with a smile. “Here, this is it!”
​
“This?”
​
Bai Xuan took the doll and examined it closely.
​
He still wasn’t sure what Su Yue was getting at, but the plush doll was undeniably soft—smooth to the touch, and strangely comforting to squeeze.
​
“You’re going to use this as your Spirit Anchor? Will that… really work?” He looked up at Su Yue, a bit skeptical.
​
“Why not?” Su Yue blinked, retorting with confidence. “Just treat this plush doll as me and give it a try!”
​
“Treat it… as you?”
​
Bai Xuan glanced from the plush doll to Su Yue, and after a moment’s thought, seemed to understand.
​
“Alright, got it! I’ll use it tonight!”
​
“Huh? Tonight? Use it? What are you going to do with it?” Su Yue was startled, not quite following Bai Xuan’s meaning.
​
“I’ll use it to convey my longing! As a spiritual comfort, to carry my soul!”
​
“That’s not what I meant!”
​
Su Yue’s cheeks flushed crimson. She hurriedly explained, “I want you to carry it with you, as if it’s me, and introduce it to your friends!”
​
“?”
​
Bai Xuan was silent for a few seconds, then asked, “So… how should I introduce you?”
​
“Um… just… just… Oh! How about as a little sister?” Su Yue suggested, inspiration suddenly striking.
​
“No way. How could I suddenly have a little sister out of nowhere?” Bai Xuan shook his head. “And I’m an orphan, remember? That wouldn’t make sense.”
​
“Uh—”
​
Su Yue was left speechless.
​
“I have a better idea for an identity. Want to hear it?” Bai Xuan offered suddenly.
​
“What identity? Don’t tell me it’s—” Su Yue’s cheeks instantly turned pink.
​
Could it be—
​
“Childhood friend!”
​
“So it is a girl—wait, childhood friend?”
​
Su Yue was stunned for a moment, then her cheeks grew even redder, almost glowing with embarrassment.
​
“What else? What did you think I meant?”
​
Bai Xuan shrugged, giving her a helpless look.
​
“N-nothing!”
​
Su Yue shook her head quickly, nervously clutching at her skirt as her heart pounded.
​
“Then it’s settled.” Bai Xuan shrugged nonchalantly. “Tomorrow I’ll give it a try and see if it helps.”
​
“Mm! Thank you!” Su Yue replied softly, unable to hide the joy in her voice.
​
—
​
Sakura Country, Raccoon City.
​
Atop a mountain, a man wearing a Spade Nine mask stood motionless.
​
At his feet, a pitch-black giant python, hundreds of meters long, coiled around the mountain, its massive body slowly shifting.
​
“Hey.”
​
“You’re saying Square Five and the others failed?”
​
“That’s unexpected.”
​
“Yeah, I got it.”
​
“Don’t worry, everything’s going smoothly on my end. No problems.”
​
“You want me to come back? Square Seven will cooperate with me?”
​
“Alright, understood.”
​
“But let me be clear—this is extra work. I expect extra pay.”
​
“Okay, that’s all.”
​
Spade Nine ended the call, his gaze shifting to the giant serpent at his feet.
​
“Daqi, time to go back.”
​
The giant python responded, its enormous body undulating as it slid toward the sea.
​
Once it disappeared beneath the waves, Spade Nine turned to look at the other side of the mountain—where a small city had once stood, now reduced to ruins.
​
“These souls… should be enough.” Spade Nine sneered under his breath. “Spade Six really is useless. Even with Spade K’s toys, he couldn’t get the job done.”
​
“Well, this time I’ll deal with the woman who keeps getting in our way myself. Let’s see what she’s really capable of.”
​
As he finished speaking, the space beside him suddenly tore open.
​
—
​
“Breaking news: Raccoon City in Sakura Country has suffered a B-level Supernatural Calamity!”
​
“The disaster has caused thousands of casualties, with economic losses in the tens of billions!”
​
“Regrettably, the Sakura Country Investigation Bureau failed to intercept the three-headed serpent. The creature has now vanished into the deep sea, its whereabouts unknown.”
​
Bai Xuan scooped up a spoonful of cereal, his eyes still fixed on the TV screen.
​
He was surprised—a B-level Supernatural Calamity in an island nation was rare.
​
“B-level Supernatural Calamity… Sakura Country really is unlucky.” Su Yue emerged from her room, glanced at the news, and commented softly.
​
“That level of calamity is indeed rare,” Bai Xuan replied between bites. “Usually, only Senior Investigators can handle it.”
​
“Senior Investigator—Liu Mufei, right? I still don’t really understand her Ability,” Su Yue said, sitting down beside him.
​
“She’s definitely mysterious, but she’s formidable,” Bai Xuan said with a smile.
​
Just as he finished speaking, the ring on his left index finger flashed.
​
Immediately, Liu Mufei’s voice sounded in his ear: “Bai Xuan, are you free?”
