Exorcist’s Self-Cultivation

Half past midnight.

Du Wei and Alex had settled on the top floor of the five-star hotel in St. Bodia.

The Church, to show its importance to Alex, had specially arranged the presidential suite.

In the room.

After taking a shower, Du Wei looked at Alex lying on the bed in silence, feeling a bit apprehensive.

He cleared his throat, surveying the luxurious décor of the room, and feigned calm as he said, “It looks like I’m basking in your glory, a presidential suite in a five-star hotel, easily tens of thousands for one night.”

Alex snorted coldly and turned her head away without paying him any attention.

Seeing this, Du Wei didn’t feel awkward. He climbed straight into bed and wrapped his arms around Alex.

"Darling, are you still mad at me?”

Alex, however, turned her head and said indifferently, “Why would I still be mad at you? After all, the issue has been resolved, right?”

Du Wei’s eyebrows raised, and he quickly said, “If you’re unhappy, just tell me, and I will definitely correct myself.”

His will to survive was very strong.

Yet this upset Alex. She turned her head, biting her teeth and said, “You’ll correct yourself?”

Du Wei earnestly replied, “Of course…”

Alex laughed out of irritation. She flipped over to pin Du Wei down, hands on the bed, looking down from above and said, “You’re really annoying… I really want to scold you, but I’m afraid you’ll get mad.”

Du Wei looked into Alex’s azure eyes, noting his girlfriend’s complex emotions—dissatisfaction, concern, and even a hint of resentment.

"It seems you’re not mad.”

"How else could I be mad? Do I seem like someone who gets mad easily?”

Alex rolled her eyes and went straight in for a kiss.

Sensation was instantly awakened.

Du Wei only felt the moistness before he involuntarily responded.

His hands gradually moved from Alex’s slender waist, one caressing her smooth back, the other roaming downwards.

Alex’s breathing grew a bit rapid, and in her azure eyes, a mist began to form.

She leaned down, changing position to cling tightly against Du Wei.

"Hiss…”

As soon as Alex made contact with Du Wei, he turned pale, involuntarily inhaling sharply, a cold sweat breaking out on his forehead.

"Baby, what’s wrong? Did I hurt you? But I didn’t even do anything…”

Alex was terrified, quickly getting up from Du Wei, her eyes filled with anxiety.

But Du Wei just shook his head, pressing on his lower back.

It was sore to touch…

"I must have twisted my back when dealing with Mary Shaw. I didn’t feel it before because I was tense, but now that I’ve relaxed, it’s starting to hurt.”

"Can’t you be a little more careful?”

Alex complained, then instructed, “Lie down properly, I’ll massage it for you.”

Du Wei didn’t refuse and obediently lay on the bed.

Soon, Alex’s soft hands were gently massaging his waist.

As she massaged, she revealed her feelings, “Actually, I’m still a bit angry, but I also know that what you’re doing is right, which really… really frustrates me. I hope you don’t have to work so hard, and don’t always deal with Evil Spirit incidents.”

"The safety of others has nothing to do with me, but as long as you are safe and sound, I feel quite content…”

"Mm…”

…

The next day.

St. Bodia Cathedral, Church Headquarters.

The grand doors were tightly closed, the interior lavishly decorated with gold and splendor, surrounded by four medium-sized cathedrals. The angelic reliefs on those walls, as well as some inscriptions from the Bible, reflected the church’s weighty history.

Inside the largest cathedral.

The ancient pipe organ played a gentle hymn.

Archbishop Skadi presided over the meeting, standing in front of the pipe organ, holding a Bible in his hands. After making the sign of the cross over his chest, he looked down.

Beneath him sat no more than six people.

Du Wei, Jon, Mrs. Senna, Thompson, and two cardinals dressed in red, both of whom were quite aged and Archbishop Skadi’s aides.

These two were expressionless and had not spoken since they arrived.

At this moment.

Archbishop Skadi smiled at Du Wei and said, “Mr. Du Wei, you handled the Evil Spirit incident in Yard City quite well, without causing any more deaths than there already were.”

Du Wei feigned restraint, “As an Exorcist, it is my duty.”

Archbishop Skadi waved his hand and said, “Duty is duty, but your merits will not be lumped together by the church.”

In addition, he said, “Regarding your hunter status, we currently plan to keep it confidential since your Evil Spirit Transformation had issues; the abilities you were supposed to have mysteriously disappeared, which is for your protection.”

Du Wei nodded in agreement.

Then, he raised a question, “But the dangers of Evil Spirit Transformation still exist. How should I resolve this? Or does the church have a way to help me resolve it?”

This question hit the mark…

Archbishop Skadi gazed deeply at Du Wei and slowly said, “The church has recently researched some things, of course, they are of an experimental nature. The hunters like Alvin have already started using them, and you will also get your share.”

"The church believes that your potential is greater, um… to put it bluntly, your girlfriend is very wealthy, and besides enjoying the benefits of the church, you’ve also fulfilled your responsibilities, so we will not be too harsh on you. You will also receive the corresponding rights of a hunter, such as access to some important information.”

"However, we need to make sure your mental state remains as stable as it is now, so it would be best if you report back to the church every week.”

"Additionally, you will be assigned to the Tribunal, specifically responsible for handling some complex Evil Spirit incidents.”

Upon hearing this, Du Wei thought for a moment and then replied, “I have no objections.”

Archbishop Skadi smiled warmly, and then turned to Mrs. Senna, saying, “The matter of the Tribunal will, for the time being, be known only to us here. We’ll announce its official reinstatement after the right person is chosen.”

Mrs. Senna’s voice was somewhat hoarse, and she bowed, saying, “Rest assured, but I think we should give Du Wei an appropriate position.”

Aside.

A flicker of peculiarity crossed Du Wei’s eyes. Jon had previously told him about the matter between Father Tony and Mrs. Senna, and having synchronized memories with the Evil Spirit, Du Wei knew even more.

It now seemed that there were quite a few within the church who bore him goodwill.

Father Tony was one, Mrs. Senna was another, and Bishop Thompson also did not seem to harbor any ill feelings toward him.

Plus, there were James and the others…

Archbishop Skadi, upon hearing Mrs. Senna’s words, remained impassive and spoke lightly, “As for the position, I’ve actually thought about it. I was hoping to offer Mr. Du Wei the position of bishop, but since he is now with the Tribunal, he can take on the role of Deputy Director.”

Mrs. Senna nodded and said nothing.

All the while, she never glanced at Du Wei, as if she didn’t care at all about her old lover’s friend.
