When Furina arrived at the entrance of the reception room, she saw Ye Guyi sitting elegantly at the table, tasting the refreshments served by the waiter. From her slightly sparkling eyes and focused expression, it was clear she had already been conquered by the delicacies before her.
"The texture of this dessert is truly unforgettable." Ye Guyi praised softly, carefully cutting a piece of exquisite mousse cake with a silver fork. The dense texture melted on the tip of her tongue, carrying just the right amount of sweetness, making her squint her eyes unconsciously.
The waiter explained with a smile, "This is a recipe developed by our Axis Cult's Little Chef God, Huo Yuhao. He not only created these delicacies but also personally taught other chefs the techniques. Now, in every town under the jurisdiction of our Axis Cult, one can taste such food."
Ye Guyi gently put down her knife and fork, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes. "Even commoners can enjoy this?"
"Of course." The waiter's tone carried a sense of pride. "Lady Furina said that fine food should not be a privilege of the nobility. Here, anyone can taste these delicacies at a reasonable price."
As they spoke, Furina had already walked in with brisk steps. She saw at a glance Ye Guyi's love for the food, and a smile unconsciously rose at the corners of her lips.
"It seems you are enjoying these snacks?" Furina's voice brought Ye Guyi back to her senses.
Ye Guyi hurriedly stood up, finally getting a chance to carefully observe this legendary Pope. Indeed, as Shi Meng had said, Furina looked only a year or two older than her, and her figure was still somewhat youthful, but those deep blue eyes sparkled with the light of wisdom that transcended her age.
"Greetings, Lord Pope." Ye Guyi bowed respectfully.
Furina waved her hand casually and sat in the chair opposite Ye Guyi. "There's no need for such formality, just call me Furina."
"Alright, Young Miss Furina." Ye Guyi followed her suggestion, her posture visibly relaxing as she sat back down.
"Shi Meng has already told me everything about what happened before." Furina said seriously, "Thank you for saving my subordinates, and thank you for your contribution to eradicating the Evil Soul Masters."
Ye Guyi shook her head gently. "It was my duty. As the successor of the Holy Angel Martial Soul, eradicating Evil Soul Masters is my mission."
"That is exactly why I value you." Furina leaned forward, her hands folded on the table. "To be honest, my Axis Cult's current strength is still shallow, and we are not yet able to clear out Evil Soul Masters on a large scale. But I believe you have already experienced our efforts regarding the people's livelihood."
Ye Guyi looked around, her gaze sweeping over the bustling street scene outside the window. "Indeed, even the Empire's royalty is far inferior to your cult in terms of caring for the people."
"Because their thinking is still stuck in the old era." Furina's eyes sparkled with the light of ideals. "What I want to create is a new world where everyone is equal and lives in harmony. And to realize this ideal, I need your help."
