Urban All-Round Master

”C-Can we really get up?” Di Shitian’s old face stiffened, thinking he must have misheard.

They knew the Pope’s character better than anyone. This time, they made such a big mistake. This executioner not only didn’t use them as an example to assert authority but instead let them stand up. What does that mean?

Could it be that he plans to let it go?

Not only Di Shitian and Ulabuk were shocked, but all the Pharaohs and Bright Knights present were also shocked by the Pope’s move.

”Do you two like kneeling there continuously?” Shika said coldly.

The powerful aura once again enveloped the entire Bright Hall.

Causing everyone present to shiver.

”We...”

Di Shitian wiped his eyes vigorously, then patted his ears, thinking he misheard. Since when did the Bright Pope become so tender?

The two exchanged a glance, both thinking their ears malfunctioned, unable to believe the Pope changed so dramatically today.

”Did neither of you hear what I just said?” This time, the Pope was angry. A heavy slap landed on the throne, scaring the two Pharaohs below to spring up from the ground immediately.

Faced with the Pope whose character changed drastically today, everyone felt a chilling aura in their bones.

”Pope, this time we failed our duties, causing many Bright Knights to fall. We are willing to accept punishment for this sin,” Di Shitian’s lips twitched slightly.

To be honest, this time they made such a big mistake. If the Pope really forgave them so easily, it would truly make them feel strange. Unaccustomed. The Bright Sect has always been clear about rewards and punishments.

But now?

”You don’t need to look for that Eastern youth anymore. Since you already recognize your mistakes, this is just a bloody lesson. Hopefully, in the future, you can learn from this lesson and take everything seriously.”

In the hall, the Pope’s voice was bright and loud as thunder. Everyone’s ears heard it clearly. But... the better she behaved, the more uncomfortable people felt inside.

”Alright, what needed to be said has been said. From now on, just fulfill your duties to the Bright Church.” After speaking, she stood up and walked towards the back of the hall.

Her departure made the entire hall suddenly burst into an uproar.

”What is going on? Are we just relieved from punishment like that?” Ulabuk’s eyes widened, dumbfounded by the current situation.

They had no idea that the Pope spent only one day with the handsome Lin Zifeng and became a different person...

......

On the other side, Bright Right Sea.

A man and a dog stood on the sea of the Isolated Island Sea, gazing at the vast ocean before them. They were filled with mixed emotions. Time was like quicksand, two days had passed in a blink.

On the isolated island, every day facing snakes, insects, rats, and ants, they only had the woman for company. They didn’t even know the woman’s name, so during exchanges, they hardly called her by name.

”I say, handsome, looking at this endless sea, how confident are you about leaving this place?” At this moment, Lin Zifeng let out a long breath. He felt a sense of lamenting at the sea. The sea before him was too vast.

Even the ability of x-ray vision couldn’t see through it.

Several times they thought of ways to cross it, but in the end, they held back. Who knows how vast this sea is? When the time comes, if they can’t cross it, they wouldn’t even know how they die.

”Hey, you ask the Mastiff grandpa, he dares to ask you too.”

Not to mention Lin Zifeng wanted to leave, now the handsome guy seemed fed up with life on the isolated island. After all, they’ve been living here for too long. It always felt too small to contain the two flood dragons.

From afar, Shika stood in the woods watching their backs. She knew Lin Zifeng no longer had the intention to stay.

What cannot be kept, she can never keep...

A few minutes later, she silently turned and left.

Meanwhile, Lin Zifeng and the handsome guy, one man and one dog, continued to sit on the shoreline, staring at the sea’s horizon...

Until deep into the night, a soothing melody attracted Lin Zifeng. The handsome guy went out to scout at night. Lin Zifeng was alone in the cabin.

After walking out of the wooden house, he discovered the mute woman sitting on a small reef not far away, playing a melody. The tune drifted mercifully to Lin Zifeng’s ears along with the sea breeze.

The melody was touching, but he always sensed a faint sadness within it. Like a trapped tiger in an iron cage. Although fed fresh meat every day, living quite comfortably, the tiger truly desired more than just meat. Perhaps what the tiger really wanted was a sense of freedom.

She sat on the reef, her moist eyes looking at the ink-black ocean, filled with sorrow. The melody contained a deep sense of desolation.

Every note’s rhythm resonated with her current life situation.

Lin Zifeng silently walked behind her, following the melody. Despite enjoying it, he couldn’t help but express his thoughts.

”Your playing is beautiful. Why does the melody carry so much sadness? Do you have unresolved feelings, using music to vent?”

A familiar and loud voice came from behind. Her melody stopped abruptly.

”Why stop? Wasn’t it sounding good?” Lin Zifeng frowned.

The woman didn’t speak, her face blushing deeply. In these few days of interaction with Lin Zifeng, she felt he was a good person.

Although she admired such a limitless potential person, it was his charm that was more enchanting.

”The melody is good, but it carries some sadness. If it could be played more cheerfully, I think it would be an excellent piece.”

He squinted and smiled, seemingly understanding the music.

”Nng, nng.”

At this moment, the woman adorably walked up to him, an expectant look showing, as she handed over the flute she played.

She couldn’t speak but could make ’nng, nng’ sounds.

Lin Zifeng wryly smiled. ”Do you want me to play?”

”Nng, nng.” She nodded vigorously, eyes filled with anticipation.

Her voice was delicate and light, particularly pleasant. If she could speak, she would surely be a beauty in both appearance and voice.

”Okay. Although I can’t play as well as you, I can give it a try.” Lin Zifeng took the flute she handed over. He first familiarized himself with the flute’s tune.

Placing it by his lips, he blew gently.

The melody he played was one taught by the old man back in the Dark Prison, called ’Soul Returning Battle Song.’

This was a piece created out of boredom by the Blazing Angels back in the day. Whenever they had to go through great battles, the Soul Returning Battle Song began, and everyone would sing it aloud.

To inspire all the passionate blood.

The battle song sounded extremely passionate, making one’s blood boil. Even the Pope Shika was drawn in by the melody he played, listening engrossed.

Seeing her enraptured face, Lin Zifeng played with even more enthusiasm.
