Chapter 289: Chapter 128: Xiangzhu, Xiangzhu, Get in My Mouth, Hehehehehehe

Moon in the Mirror’s expression grew stern. "Saintess! Shuimo and Huangfu Song have gone too far! We have endured so much humiliation for the sake of our doctrine, providing them with immense financial resources, only to be met with suspicion and alienation. Saintess, just give the order. At your command, your subordinates will capture them and install you as the new Sect Leader!"

"Unwise!"

Gu Xiangzhu’s gaze was icy. "Now is not the time to make a move. If it were only Huangfu Song, we could be ruthless and expel him from the sect. But now, Shuimo stands with him as well.

And then there are the other three Dharma Protectors. Even if we gained their support, the sect would be severely weakened.

Who knows how long it would take to achieve our ambition then."

Moon in the Mirror sighed. Though she felt resentful, she could only drop the matter.

Gu Xiangzhu said lightly, "Forget the Main Altar. Turn your attention to the sect members within Lingge. If we can figure out what they’re doing, we can deduce their objective."

"Yes!"

Moon in the Mirror nodded emphatically. The Demon Sect’s spies were masters of concealment, and caution was ingrained in their very souls. Figuring out their movements would be no simple task.

She asked Gu Xiangzhu a few more questions, and after confirming there was no other business, she quickly transformed into moonlight and vanished into the mirror.

Gu Xiangzhu gazed toward the distant Demon Sect Headquarters, a hint of mockery in her eyes.

’One more try.’

’If even Moon in the Mirror can’t succeed...’

’...it will mean this matter has reached a certain level of sensitivity.’

’Then I won’t be able to tolerate it any longer. It will be time for me to go to the Main Altar and force some answers.’

As for now...

She released her right hand, only to find the clothes over her lower abdomen were completely wrinkled.

For a moment, she lost control of her expression.

This...

’This kid is so much trouble.’

The thought of what had just happened made her blush, her heart unable to keep from pounding.

She lifted the front of her robe and looked down, surprisingly finding faint bruises.

’This... I’ll have to be more careful when I tease him in the future. The kid may be obedient, but when he gets carried away, he has no idea how to be gentle with a woman at all.’

’I was a bit too aggressive this time. I nearly got completely swept away myself.’

’But fortunately, the result was good.’

’The Dream-Inducing Skill was a success.’

’Before I lost all control, I finally achieved complete mastery over Zhao Ci.’

’As expected.’

’As expected of me. Only I could control Zhao Ci so perfectly.’

Gu Xiangzhu glanced at the mirror, and her heart skipped a beat.

’Why are the corners of my mouth curled up like this?’

’It must be the joy of a successful manipulation, of my ambition being within reach!’

...

「Late at night.」

「Yang’s Medicine Shop.」

"Ah!"

"Hiss..."

"Hnngh..."

Dull, suppressed roars once again echoed from within the room.

Yang Fang and Cen Xiu watched their son, their gazes filled with pride and a sense of accomplishment.

’Our son has grown up!’

In the past, when they applied medicine to Yang Mo, he would scream miserably while pitifully begging them for mercy.

Now, although he was still screaming, he hadn’t spoken a single word to beg for mercy.

Not only was he not begging for mercy, he even had an expression of extreme excitement on his face.

After returning from his mission this time, it was as if the boy had grown up overnight.

’Indeed.’

’Hardship has tempered his will.’

’And all of this was to their credit.’

’Although they had accomplished nothing in their own lives, they had raised a successful son.’

’What could be more glorious than that?’

’Next, they just had to wait for Yang Mo to mature, and then they could enjoy a life of comfort.’

After a long, long time.

The screaming stopped.

The couple helped Yang Mo remove the ropes that bound him.

"Haaa..."

Yang Mo breathed a sigh of relief. A faint smile appeared on his face as he bowed deeply to the couple. "Thank you, Father and Mother, for your guidance."

Yang Fang smiled in gratification. "Just be a good son to your mother and me in the future. We’ve invested most of our life’s savings in you!"

"I understand!"

Yang Mo nodded heavily.

Cen Xiu patted the back of her son’s hand. "You’ve worked hard, Mo. Mother has heated some water for you. Wash up and get to sleep quickly!"

"Mm!"

Yang Mo respectfully saw the couple out and returned to his room.

However, he didn’t immediately wash up and go to sleep.

Instead, he took out two more bottles of medicinal liquid from a wooden box.

Soul-Burning Potion!

’I can’t wait any longer.’

’If I miss this chance with the War God Tower, the upper limit of my physical body will be permanently capped.’

’This is one of the few chances in life to make a quantum leap in strength.’

’I can’t miss it.’

’The side effects of the Soul-Burning Potion are intense. An overdose could very well cripple my entire Primordial Spirit, forcing me to live the rest of my life in a pitiful state.’

’But no matter how pitiful that is, could it be more pitiful than the state of the weak?’

’An idiot who has lost all their Spiritual Wisdom...’

’...versus an ant that is fully sane.’

’Who is more pitiful?’

Yang Mo had figured it out completely. The most tragic thing in this world was not being strong enough. Even now, he could still remember the abject look on that Boatman’s face as he desperately clung to him, begging to be saved.

If he had been in that situation, he would rather have been one of those who had already been poisoned to death.

’I hate the weak.’

’That’s why I must become stronger. I need to change every weak trait I have, to make everything that stops me from becoming strong vanish like smoke.’

’Tonight, I overcame my fear of the potion’s agony.’

’Next time, I’ll overcome something else.’

’Jealousy, envy, cowardice...’

’Everything must vanish like smoke!’

As for now...

"Get stronger!"

Yang Mo took a deep breath and poured both bottles of Soul-Burning Potion down his throat at once.

Then, he sat down cross-legged.

’If I want to get stronger at the speed of light, there’s only one path.’

’And that is to raise the rank of my Celestial Demon Body Refining Secret Technique.’

’And then... feed it with a frenzy of slaughter!’

...

"Two more bottles?"

When Huangfu Song heard the report from the Withered and Flourishing Old Ghost, his eyes nearly popped out of their sockets.
