Seeing that all the dishes had been served, Ye Feng and the others sat around the table.
Bai Qiusheng arrived late from the bedroom.
This time, he had changed into a decent suit and sat down in a chair.
The family sat around the dining table, chatting while they ate.
A long while passed.
"Mom, Dad, this is Ye Feng, my superior."
Seeing that the time was right, Bai Jie took the opportunity while all three were present to formally introduce him to her family.
Bai Qiusheng already knew about this, but Bai Jie's Mother and her younger brother were shocked.
"Jie'er, when did you start working? Isn't it still before your graduation period?"
"Ye Feng is your boss? What kind of company do you work for?"
Upon hearing this, Bai Jie's Mother suddenly looked up, her face full of disbelief.
"It's not a company, it's a Church..."
"I have successfully joined the Pure White Maiden Church, and Lord Ye Feng has even appointed me as the Saintess."
Bai Jie looked at Ye Feng with sparkling eyes, shining with a light called hope, her gaze undisguisedly filled with admiration.
"Haha, this is all because the daughter you raised is excellent. Only because her various indicators met the Church's requirements was she able to stand out. I merely chose what I had to choose. If you really feel bad about it, you can set up a statue of me at home."
Nodding, Ye Feng replied with a light chuckle.
"A Saintess of the Pure White Church? Sis, you've reached the heavens in a single step! You're amazing!"
"Don't talk nonsense! Isn't it all because Lord Ye gave me the opportunity!"
Bai Jie pinched Bai An in shy anger. This time, Bai An did not dodge. Even though he was young, he knew that ascending to the position of Saintess was like an ordinary person becoming a Demigod; his sister had reached the heavens in a single step. As her brother, he was also ecstatic.
"And Lord Ye Feng even gave me a membership bonus of over five million!"
Bai Jie said with a raised lip and a hint of excitement.
Ye Feng could naturally see that while they were not destitute, they were not a wealthy family either. With this money, their standard of living would indeed be greatly improved.
No matter how hard an ordinary family works, it is difficult to earn five million in a lifetime. Seeing their joy, Ye Feng felt a warmth in his own heart.
In his past life as an office worker, he had naturally seen much of the coldness of human relationships and the schemes of others, but it was precisely because of this that he wanted to help more families live happily when he had the ability to do so.
In his view, one should fulfill the duties of their position; as a Deity, having received the Faith of others, he naturally had to give back to his Believers.
This was his pursuit as a God.
"These were all obtained by Bai Jie through her own ability. You don't need to be too excited. As long as she works hard in the future, life will only get better and better."
Ye Feng looked at the grateful people before him and said calmly.
He raised his hand to check his watch; it was almost nine o'clock. He had to investigate a case with Captain Yang tomorrow, and having done so much work today, even as a God, he couldn't help but feel a bit tired.
"Come with me, I have some work to arrange with you."
He stood up, said this to Bai Jie, and walked straight toward the balcony.
Bai Jie hurriedly followed him respectfully.
"You are the absolute core of the Guild. The Believers still need you to put in more effort. When you encounter suitable management talent, you must know how to promote them."
As Ye Feng spoke, he moved his mind, and a scepter appeared in his palm.
"This scepter was condensed by a God using Divine Power and is imbued with the essence of a Deity. It can be considered a semi-finished Demigod Artifact. It contains the methods for using the Pure White Mist, as well as many of the Church's secret teachings."
"From now on, it belongs to you. This is an honor, but also a responsibility. I hope you will not let me down."
It is called "The Maiden's Prayer".
Ye Feng looked at the pretty girl before him and handed her the staff with a serious expression.
"Lord Ye Feng, Bai Jie is willing to devote her life to Lord Ye Feng and His Highness Pure White until her dying breath!"
Bai Jie knelt respectfully to accept the Demigod Artifact and the miniature statue of His Highness Pure White that Ye Feng handed over.
"Good. Also, the Deity has allowed me to hand over the authority of the Pure White Space to you. You will be responsible for inviting loyal Believers and granting them the authority to enter the Pure White Space with their consciousness."
"The Pure White Space allows for the learning of skills and provides a place for Believers to communicate online; it is the top priority for the Church's development."
"You must do this well."
Ye Feng finished his instructions.
"And this."
Ye Feng moved his mind, and a Pure White Handmaid appeared beside them, looking pure and beautiful, yet possessing an aggressive edge.
"From now on, she will remain hidden by your side to protect you at all times. This is a protective charm I have arranged for you."
He looked at Bai Jie, who was recording his words earnestly, and felt quite gratified. She was someone who loved to learn, and his judgment was indeed correct.
"Lord Ye Feng, I have noted it down."
Bai Jie nodded. She said to herself inwardly.
"Lord Ye Feng actually arranged a protective charm for me. He cares about me so much."
Then she asked earnestly.
"My Lord, can you tell me what position you hold in the Church?"
She stared at Ye Feng with her cute, large eyes, looking nervous. Her eyes seemed to hold only him.
"I am the Pope!"
"The founder of the Pure White Church."
Divine light shot from Ye Feng's eyes, and for a moment, his sharpness was fully revealed. Supported by his Divine Power, he appeared peerless and magnificent.
"My Lord, do you have a girlfriend?"
"You are so good to me, I want to offer myself to you."
Bai Jie leaned against the railing and asked playfully.
Ye Feng raised an eyebrow. He hadn't realized this little girl was actually quite lively and cheerful to make such jokes.
"If one's career is not established, how can one have a home?"
He replied casually.
"Understood, Pope!"
Bai Jie's eyes dimmed slightly, and she couldn't help but mock her own wishful thinking. A person who could promote her to Saintess directly was someone she could never reach; it was just her own foolish fantasy.
After a brief silence, Bai Jie said in a gentle voice.
"Boss."
"Hmm?"
"I was just joking!"
"Haha, I was joking too."
In the JA District at night, the stars twinkled in the sky. This was a high-altitude area, so the stars looked larger. A man and a woman stood before the balcony, looking at the scenery unique to the JA District, and suddenly both fell silent.
"I... should go. The long night can only leave you to guard your room alone."
Ye Feng broke the brief silence and spoke first.
Bai Jie was unwilling, and upon hearing this, her face turned red, but she had no right to disagree, so she could only nod.
She knew Ye Feng was joking.
"Farewell, Pope!"
She bowed deeply.
This bow was a final break from her own wishful thinking.
She felt in her heart that the gap between them was too great, so great that she could see no hope, so great that she only wanted to make peace with herself and stop thinking about these things.
Ye Feng said goodbye to the others, declined their enthusiastic send-off, and walked slowly downstairs.
He could still faintly hear the laughter of their family, and suddenly thinking of his current self, a sense of loneliness surged into his heart.
On the other side, Bai Jie was being teased by her family, and the room was filled with laughter. This was a moment that belonged only to them; after the bitterness came the sweetness, and all the beauty arrived as promised.
"Jie'er, do you think there's a possibility for you and Ye Feng to be together? I think Ye Feng is young and promising, and he's a great match for you. He's also a very good person."
Bai Qiusheng looked at Bai Jie and said earnestly.
Her mother and brother also stopped talking and looked at Bai Jie seriously.
"Um... we are just colleagues. Um, I'm so tired, I was so busy today. You guys continue to celebrate, I'm going to sleep..."
Bai Jie rushed out of their circle in a panic, opened her door, dashed inside, and locked it, only then did her heart calm down a little.
"Lord Ye Feng, it seems that since I met you, I've been crying more often."
"If you really liked me, how wonderful that would be."
Tears dripped onto the floor, making a ticking sound.
..
Ye Feng hummed a tune as he walked down the street.
He had wanted to call a taxi, but this area was quite remote and no one accepted the order. Not wanting to waste Divine Power for such a short distance, he walked back slowly.
Now that the Church's affairs were mostly arranged, he needed to find time soon to get a church building. Otherwise, with hundreds of employees, they would have nowhere to go, which wouldn't be appropriate.
However, it would be quite difficult if he wanted to set up the Church's headquarters in the JA District.
This was the territory of Justice and Warriors. Usually, the Pantheon would allow you to open a branch here, but he had never heard of anyone opening a headquarters in someone else's territory!
"Damn it, if only the Believers could find a place to work on their own!"
He muttered.
"Whoosh..."
An arrow shot out rapidly from a nearby building.
In just an instant, Ye Feng reacted extremely quickly, twisting his head to dodge the fatal arrow.
The arrow had immense force, embedding itself deeply into the wall, with even its fletching hidden from view.
I hope all my family members can support me, Rhythm Leap.
