After the referee announced the winner of the previous challenge and gave out the corresponding reward, the citizens began to leave the venue in waves. Most people had already left, even Wang Xiaole was preparing to lead Freya to see the new house they were about to buy.

Just then, a familiar voice sounded, "Has today's challenge ended?"

This voice made Wang Xiaole look up and look in the direction it came from. There, he saw Ledux, the second in command of the Senate. But unlike the previous few days, Ledux now had bags under his eyes that didn't match his age. He was walking with a sagging posture, and if it weren't for his voice remaining mostly unchanged, Wang Xiaole wouldn't recognize him even if they passed each other.

"Why do you look so tired?" Wang Xiaole asked.

"It's none of your business. Since the challenge is over, I'll come early tomorrow and settle the grudges between us," Ledux declared, then turned around. Ledux's pale mouth twitched, trying to suppress a yawn, but without success. Seeing the exhausted Ledux, a strong curiosity arose in Wang Xiaole's heart. Freya shared the same thought.

As the two of them took a step forward, hand in hand, following Ledux who had only taken a few steps, he suddenly stopped.

"I finally found you!" a voice thundered as if in clear sky. Even though Ledux had the courage surpassing his own weight, he couldn't help but tremble, his shoulders drooping down.

Ledux's face twitched, and after a brief moment of pause, he tried to run with all his might, but two figures intercepted his path.

"On this mountain that I opened,"

"This tree that I planted."

The two figures crossed paths, changing direction and forming a wall together, becoming the biggest obstacle in the escape of the demon in front of them.

"What the hell are you two doing? Get out of my way!" Ledux shouted.

These two people on the other side were very stubborn, as if they hadn't heard the roar, blocking the way with unchanged expressions. Then, two hands reached out together.

"If you want to pass here,"

"Leave behind some payment!"

As it turned out, as long as you stayed with Wang Xiaole for a long time, even a goddess born in this land could learn some jokes with distinctive Tianchao characteristics.

Ledux, frustrated and angry, didn't have time to waste with the two troublemakers in front of him. So he generously threw out the money pouch.

"Here, take it. Let me through, I'm running out of time!"

When Wang Xiaole caught the money pouch, "running out of time" turned into "immediately." Then, someone crashed into Ledux, knocking him down to the ground and plunging him into the depths of despair.

"I caught you!" Wang Xiaole and Freya both saw the figure that had thrown Ledux down to the ground. It was an extremely tall woman, and when she sat on the ground, Ledux, whose neck was held by her, couldn't even reach her neck.

Wang Xiaole made a rough estimate and converted the height into Tianchao's measurement unit, realizing that...

The woman who held onto Ledux without letting go could still reach a height of around 1.9 meters even without wearing a pair of high-heeled boots under her feet. With such a tall stature, there are probably not many people, even among men, who can surpass her.

In contrast to her towering physique, she was dressed in full body armor, and her uncovered face exuded a formidable and heroic aura. In the Eastern Continent, this type of person would be described as a "heroine", while the general translation would be "super tomboy".

"You really shouldn't underestimate me!" Wang Xiaole crossed his arms and spoke with a carefree expression, completely embodying the look of a "bystander".

"Stop talking nonsense! Considering that I gave you money before, this time you have to help me. Once the job is done, I'll give you half of the Senate's savings."

According to Wang Xiaole's personal belief, being pursued by the opposite sex was something to be happy about. However, for some reason, Ledux's current expression had nothing to do with joy. He was starting to think that maybe Ledux was attracted to the same gender, and Ledux's fate further deteriorated.

Amidst desperate screams, Ledux was forcibly dragged away. The dark circles under his eyes seemed even heavier at that moment. Even though they had obtained the money, the man and woman who took the money didn't help in the slightest along the way. With such an almost indifferent attitude, Ledux's figure disappeared at the entrance of the venue, and not even a single word could be heard.

"Does that woman have a crush on a demon?" After Ledux had gone far away, Freya suddenly asked. She received a response from the person beside her.

"Seems like it... Freya, aren't you happy about it?"

"Of course not! Nowadays, human girls are so unreasonable. They actually willingly get involved with those wicked demons. The morals are in decline..." Wang Xiaole thought to himself, isn't the goddess being infatuated with the various delicacies of the mortal realm also a kind of corruption?

While Freya was feeling regret for the changing aesthetic of human girls, Wang Xiaole was contemplating another important matter: What would the Scarlet Bishop do after narrowly escaping death?

Considering that the Scarlet Bishop was not a forgiving person, taking precautionary measures was necessary. However, it wasn't very convenient for Wang Xiaole to infiltrate the church, given his identity. Even if he were to ask someone else to do it, they might not have the time.

The lack of a suitable candidate to monitor the bishop was currently the most difficult problem. In his distress, Wang Xiaole couldn't help but hold his head and start muttering to himself.

"If only I knew someone who could freely infiltrate the church, all the problems would be solved."

The ideal candidate actually existed, for example, "I can help Xiaole complete this task!"

For example, when Wang Xiaole was walking on the street, the white-clad girl suddenly spoke from behind him and leaned her head forward.

"Cheryl! Your way of appearing is still harmful to my heart, as always."

Hearing the usual teasing from Cheryl, she actually wanted to show her true self and do things she was supposed to do (like stealing a kiss). But after all, they were on a busy street. If she did something that attracted attention, they would draw unwanted gazes.

Just then, Charlie had something to discuss with Wang Xiaole and it wasn't suitable to tie it to the "attention-grabbing" situation. Considering this, Charlie had to behave a bit more restrained and not engage in any obvious sexual harassment activities. She went straight to the business at hand:

"Wang Xiaole needs someone to gather information about the 'Idiot Bishop,' but don't worry, I have the ability to help you with that."

"Charlie is willing to help?"

Wang Xiaole raised an eyebrow, not revealing his excitement immediately.

"Not...willing! Huhuhuhu..."

Charlie made a mocking sound with her mouth.

Then, as if she wanted to avoid something, she took a step back from Wang Xiaole and quickly created some distance between them.

At first listen, Charlie's words sounded like she was teasing someone. But Wang Xiaole, knowing her to some extent, could still guess her true intentions.

"So, what are your conditions?"

"Hmm, Xiaole figured out what I meant? Very good, then things will go well."

Charlie wasn't the type to help others out of pure kindness; whatever she did, she would expect something in return.

"How about this? Xiaole fulfills one of my requests, and I will seriously help you out."

"Sure, what request?"

Wang Xiaole didn't delve too deeply into what Charlie's request would be in the future because he had his own hidden agenda. If Charlie's request was easily achievable, he would fulfill his promise. If the request was difficult, he wouldn't mind going back on his word.

Since there shouldn't be any issues either way, why bother asking about the content of the request?

However, the boy did underestimate the "vixen" in front of him and didn't expect her to add, "To make sure Xiaole doesn't forget, let's quickly negotiate important matters now before it becomes unclear in the future!"

After discussing the major issue in advance, Charlie began to think about the content of her request. The matter of surveilling the Red Bishop was neither too big nor too small, so it wasn't easy to determine the value of the conditions she would propose.

From Charlie's perspective, the most appropriate cost would be:

"Xiaole, let me push you down once... If you don't want to, then forget it, don't give me that thorny look."

The boy on the other side thought this request was a bit excessive.

Charlie had no choice but to compromise:

"Something easier: after completing the mission, Xiaole has to accompany me on a date."

"And then during the date, you'll take the opportunity to push me down?"

"Ugh, stop saying all those things from my thoughts!"

Charlie raised her hand and covered her face.

If someone didn't know her personality, they might think she was a shy girl...

After the back-and-forth, the two parties reached an agreement:

If Charlie completed the surveillance successfully and gained something from it, Wang Xiaole would go on a proper date with her.

Freya would oversee the entire agreement, while Freya herself would act as a witness.

Wang Xiaole didn't doubt whether the other party could fulfill this task.

After all, according to Shirley's character, if something cannot be done or is not possible, then she definitely wouldn't suggest it. Instead of doubting the other person's ability, Wang Xiaole is more concerned about one detail: previously, Shirley mentioned the "idiot bishop." These four words indicate that Shirley either knows or has just met the crimson bishop. If it belongs to the former case, then the problem arises: what is the relationship between Shirley and the "Church of the Supreme God?" If it belongs to the latter case, it proves that Shirley has already watched today's match; in other words, since the match started, Shirley has been staying nearby, observing every move of Wang Xiaole...
