Love letters are not allowed in the exorcism notebook!-Chapter 978 - 45: It’s Sunday Again, Out for a Pedicure

Wang Yunxiao finally understood why he fell for Li Mumu.

Of course, it wasn’t because of her feet.

But because Li Mumu, as a modern person, was very in sync with him in terms of mindset.

As a transmigrator, Li Mumu’s thoughts were much more mature than her peers.

You ask what her peers are like?

Chen Yan and Youtiao are also in a relationship, but Wang Yunxiao still hasn’t seen any progress with them. The two of them don’t even go out on dates; they just occasionally exchange small gifts, maintaining their relationship in a slow manner.

Little Gourd... Jiang Xiaotang still hasn’t found her track.

The bean sprouts in the eighth grade are basically just kids, their bodies haven’t developed yet, and their thoughts can’t keep up either.

They don’t even understand dirty jokes you tell them.

Li Mumu understands a lot, so much that it makes Wang Yunxiao suspect that she had a particularly rich experience in her past life.

Of course, there is one exception.

Shut-ins also know a lot, they just lack practical experience.

Wang Yunxiao originally wanted to confess his identity as a transmigrator to her, but later he thought about it and didn’t know what to say.

I don’t know anything, how am I supposed to say it?

At least Li Mumu can recall some of her memories from before she died.

Wang Yunxiao can’t remember anything, not even during his advancement to Rampaging Colonel did he see any information about his past.

He only watched a Hollywood blockbuster with Annihilation.

There is one thing he feels Li Mumu was quite right about.

That is, before crossing over, he very likely was already dead.

Simple secrecy doesn’t require memories to be erased so thoroughly.

And among the information that Li Mumu disclosed, there was one point that particularly intrigued him.

That is the so-called "United Ark" plan.

On the weekend, Wang Yunxiao called Veronica.

As expected, she didn’t answer the phone herself. The nun who did answer politely stated that the archbishop is currently very busy and needs appointments for meetings.

Wang Yunxiao had already given up hope, but unexpectedly, Veronica called back that evening.

"You needed me for something?"

The fatigue in White Hair Archbishop’s voice was evident.

Wang Yunxiao originally wanted to get straight to the point, but hearing her tone, he changed his mind.

"Can’t I just call you for no reason?"

"When do you ever call me for no reason? You only remember me when you need something, and forget about me when you don’t..."

"Come out, the usual place."

"Alright, now?"

Now? Wang Yunxiao glanced at the clock, wondering if the bathhouse was still open.

"Tomorrow morning then." 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖

"That works."

Early the next morning, Wang Yunxiao met Veronica at the bathhouse.

When he arrived, Veronica was already lying in bed, sleeping like a log.

The two dark circles under her eyes clearly indicated how overworked she had been recently.

Wang Yunxiao sat beside her for about half an hour before Veronica opened her eyes, grinning as she stretched lazily.

Her figure was still as stunning as ever, the thunderous view of her chest making Wang Yunxiao dizzy.

"Just thinking about going back to work overtime makes my heart sink."

Veronica rubbed her stiff neck and turned to Wang Yunxiao, saying, "Find some time to treat me to some barbecue, in Cui Xiaoying’s courtyard, it’s secluded enough."

"You can still eat barbecue now?"

"Nuns aren’t monks, why shouldn’t I eat barbecue... Since the New Year, I’ve been eating boiled vegetable leaves in the church every day, my mouth is so bland it’s going to faint!"

Veronica had a deep craving for meat.

The only thing she looked forward to when returning to the Mu Family was devouring pork trotters and shanks gleefully.

Wang Yunxiao curiously asked, "What have you been busy with lately? Hasn’t the church already been disbanded, what’s keeping you so busy?"

Previously, the church had many assets, as well as various charitable projects and schools, so it was understandable if there was a lot of work. Now that these are split up, what’s keeping you busy?"

"Returning to my primary job, spreading the gospel."

Veronica said helplessly, "I have work to do in the Capital and can’t get away here. Next month I need to organize a group of technical nuns to go inland to aid in building textile factories and deal with overseas troubles. My workload is enormous, and if I’d known, I would never have taken on this mess. I must have been out of my mind to be persuaded by Theresa..."

"Overseas troubles?"

"The Four Seas Commerce Guild is soon relocating back here, and with them, many troubles will follow. Some religious groups they cooperate with aren’t recognized in our country."

"Not everyone wants to come back, and not everyone wants to come to Tianmen, they prefer going South, to Shanghai and Ningbo or Xiangjiang... The political significance of this relocation is greater than the economic one; for these merchants, it’s like being put to death."

"Forcing a bull to drink water?"

"Pretty much, if you let them go South, they might feel like they’re finally home, but this easily leads to forming two centers, North and South, which could result in a situation with separate Northern and Southern rule. The President doesn’t want to see this happen, and Young Master Huang might not either. If she wants to run for President, she has to come to the North, no negotiation."

In the past, Wang Yunxiao definitely wouldn’t understand what Veronica meant by this.

Now he finally understood that the Young Master Huang of the Four Seas Commerce Guild, like the current President, is a Dragon Maiden in the transformation stage.

As for her strength, it’s assumed that she would be powerful enough to withstand the washing of the Temporal Tide.

It’s unlikely that with a major tide, the president suddenly becomes someone else, bewildered by the national policies currently in place, and issuing over a hundred administrative orders based on personal preferences, turning the country around by 180 degrees...

Currently, the Government of the Ming Country’s various construction plans are only just starting, and many infrastructure projects won’t realize significant effects for years, or even decades. Under this premise, maintaining stable development is more important than anything.

Whether Young Master Huang is a foreigner, whether she’s from the South, or whether she’s aligned with the current President doesn’t matter.

What matters is after the start of that Ancient Dragon Court plan, the remaining Dragon Maidens can’t board the ark anymore, preventing uncontrollable risks like those caused by former Dragon Maiden Mu Yanling’s sudden Ascension that left significant historical blanks.

Moreover, she is not without any foundation.

The Four Seas Commerce Guild’s predecessor was the Heavenly King Divine Sect that nearly swept half the country fifty years ago. They’ve gone through the whole process of establishing a nation, a capital, and an emperor, holding more legitimacy than anyone else.
