Chapter 1554 1557: How Many Bones Does It Take to Forge a General?
"Hmph!"
The Moon Goddess Successor snorted coldly, glanced at Evelyn, and then said, "Aren't you afraid she'll suck you dry? With such a beauty around, you'll probably end up as dried meat sooner or later, won't you?"
Evelyn immediately said, "Master, rest assured, I absolutely harbor no improper thoughts towards you. As long as I'm granted your reward weekly, that's enough for me."
Xu Hao glanced at her and said, "Actually, I'm quite curious, aren't all you succubi supposed to be wanton? Why are you still pure-hearted?"
"Wow! You can even tell that?!!"
The Moon Goddess Successor was instantly shocked, she hurriedly retreated, looking at Xu Hao as if she had seen a ghost.
Xu Hao looked at her with a smile and laughed, "What are you afraid of? It's not like you've admitted to losing your purity..."
"Enough!"
She grew even angrier, it was beyond her comprehension how Xu Hao could discern someone's purity with just a glance.
Xu Hao chuckled lightly and said, "Is it worth being so scared? In traditional Chinese medicine, there's Observation, Listening and Smelling, Inquiry, and Palpation. I've just brought Observation and Listening to a rather advanced level, that's all. I can deduce from your scent who you've recently interacted with, and more importantly, whether there's a male aura around you."
"Hmph! No wonder you've wooed so many girls, turns out you're quite the lecher!" The Moon Goddess Successor said with considerable indignation.
"You can think whatever you want."
Xu Hao chuckled, then looked at Evelyn.
Evelyn promptly said, "We succubi don't rely on our bodies to seduce people; we use Illusion Technique instead, so we don't sacrifice our charm. However, if Master desires... I wouldn't refuse..."
As she spoke the latter half, Evelyn's face unexpectedly blushed a little.
Xu Hao smiled awkwardly, raised a hand to wrap Evelyn's body in Qi Force, and said flatly, "Dress more conservatively from now on."
"Yes, Master." Evelyn immediately replied in a panic.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, are you treating her as your private possession now? Not letting others look?" The Moon Goddess Successor immediately teased.
However, as she spoke, there was always a hint of jealousy in her tone.
Xu Hao didn't notice, and said, "I just felt that her attire was too revealing and inappropriate."
Below, after Xu Hao intervened, everyone suddenly stopped fighting and sat in place.
Seeing that they still hadn't resumed the fight, the Moon Goddess Successor immediately said, "What's going on with these people?"
"What else can they do? They know it's hard to survive, and even if they do, they'll be covered in wounds. Advancing further in martial arts will be even more difficult. But more importantly, they feel that their master has abandoned them. Even if they continue to fight here, what's the use? They're just serving others as pawns." Xu Hao said flatly.
"But without the blood sacrifice, the Formation can't be activated further, and without that, we can't enter the Sacrificial Gold Altar." The Moon Goddess Successor said somewhat helplessly.
"I can't really comprehend, is the Moon Goddess truly such a ruthless god? Logic dictates the Formation here should be quite gentle, right? This place shouldn't be built like this slaughterhouse; it doesn't match the Moon Goddess's character, does it? After all, the Moon Goddess should be a relatively gentle deity." Xu Hao asked, puzzled.
"You're mistaken. This Formation has always been this way. In my Inherited Memories, blood sacrifice is needed to enter the Sacrificial Gold Altar. Of course, if one's strength is powerful enough, that's also an option." The Moon Goddess Successor replied.
"I seriously doubt your Inherited Memories are faulty. I refuse to believe that a deity who harnesses the Power of Moonlight would create such a slaughterhouse."
Before the Moon Goddess Successor could rebut, Xu Hao said, "You don't need to say much. I know you firmly believe in your Inherited Memories, but surely I can voice my opposition?
I still think, after all these years, perhaps something unexpected occurred. But that's not what we need to consider now. Since these people were pushed out by their master for the blood sacrifice, you and I might as well eliminate them."
"You want to personally strike them down? That's too brutal!" The Moon Goddess Successor said incredulously.
Although she knew Xu Hao was always decisive in his actions, she didn't expect him to be so merciless.
"Since these people are doomed anyway, it doesn't matter who they die at the hands of. Maybe I'm mistaken; those who ascend to the abodes of the gods rise by stepping over countless skeletons. A general's success is built upon the bones of thousands. Perhaps the seemingly gentle Moon Goddess is no different!"
Xu Hao said calmly, then flew down gracefully.
