A direct descendant of the High Antiquity Demon Race Bloodline, taking a Human Race Alchemist as his godfather?

No matter how you look at it, it exudes an eerie feeling.

"This... how can an ordinary Alchemist like me be qualified to be the adoptive father of the Moon Wolf Tribe's direct descendant?" Su Bai said.

Eight-Foot Madam smiled gently, "Alchemist Lu Jiu is so young, yet he has already advanced to the Foundation Establishment. His alchemy skills will certainly be far beyond what he is now in the future. He is naturally qualified."

"And Yinyue, because of me, was born with a weaker foundation."

"It's normal for a direct descendant to awaken their Bloodline at birth, but Yinyue didn't awaken her Bloodline until she was three years old, relying on Human Race Spirit Pills."

"He cannot achieve anything in his life without Spirit Pills."

"By taking you as his godfather, he is actually just trying to make a living for you."

"Alchemist Lu Jiu, what do you think?"

Su Bai thought to himself, "They're trying to find a long-term medication guarantee for their son."

However, this is an opportunity.

From Hong Gu's words, Su Bai clearly learned about the competitive relationship between Yinyue and her son and Crown Prince Xiao Yue.

If we gain the support of Eight-Foot Madam, then killing Crown Prince Xiao Yue will be much easier.

The problem is that Su Bai needs to know for certain that the relationship between Eight-Foot Madam and Howling Moon has become so tense that it requires killing each other.

Otherwise, if their relationship is merely healthy competition, then his revealing murderous intent would be tantamount to courting death.

"Madam, please allow me to think this through before giving you an answer," Su Bai said, bowing slightly.

For now, it's best to remain hidden in the Moon Wolf Tribe Settlement and figure out the connections between them.

The only thing we can do is postpone this matter as long as possible.

Eight-Foot Madam wasn't in a hurry. "This is no small matter; Alchemist Lu Jiu should think it through himself."

"I'd like to offer you a toast." The Eight-Foot Madam pursed her red lips and swallowed the entire cup of Spirit Wine.

Su Bai returned the gesture with a cupped hand.

After several rounds of drinks and enjoying delicious food,

Emboldened by the alcohol, Su Bai asked, "Madam, logically speaking, with Crown Prince Xiao Yue being so outstanding, shouldn't he be the future Wolf Emperor of the Moon Wolf Tribe? But you just said to Yinyue..."

Eight-Foot Madam covered her mouth and chuckled, "What, does Alchemist Lu Jiu think that Yinyue is inferior to Howling Moon, and that's why he didn't want to get involved in this mess and become Yinyue's godfather?"

Upon hearing this, Su Bai coughed lightly and replied, "This... seeking good fortune and avoiding misfortune is human nature, I hope Madam will not take offense."

"I have only been in the Moon Wolf Tribe Settlement for a little over half a month. I would appreciate it if you could enlighten me on the implications."

Eight-Foot Madam's gaze gradually sharpened. "Hmph, let alone the fact that Howling Moon hasn't inherited the Wolf Emperor's throne yet, even if he did, wouldn't it be perfectly normal for the throne to pass from brother to brother?"

"You're an outsider, so there are some things I can't say to you in too much detail."

"But if you become Yinyue's godfather, then we will be natural allies, and I wouldn't mind letting you taste what it's like to be the child's father..." Eight-Foot Madam looked at Su Bai with a slightly provocative gaze.

Su Bai swallowed hard. This was inside the Moon Wolf Tribe's palace; the Wolf Emperor might be watching this place from somewhere using some Secret Method.

How dare this lady be so dissolute?

"This... that..." Su Bai was momentarily at a loss for words. If his answer was not accurate enough, and the Wolf Emperor in the shadows suddenly appeared and killed him with a single claw, he might truly become the most laughable Assassin in the history of the Azure Fish Hall.

"Are you afraid of that old wolf?" Eight-Foot Madam immediately saw through Su Bai's worries.

"Don't worry, his Lifespan has already exceeded a thousand years. Even if Demon Cultivator's Lifespan is twice that of your Human Race Cultivator, it's about time he met his ancestors."

"Now that he's in seclusion all day trying to prolong his life, how could he possibly have the mind to care about me?" Eight-Foot Madam's eyebrows arched slightly, and she continued to tease Su Bai with a flirtatious air.

Upon hearing this, Su Bai breathed a sigh of relief, thinking to himself that even if the Wolf Emperor was nearing its end, it wasn't dead yet. Wouldn't it be even worse to become its last scapegoat?

My dear wife, please be careful before the old wolf dies. The danger I'm currently facing is more than ten times greater than that of a widow.

He was about to speak.

Suddenly, Hong Gu and another maid of the Eight-Foot Madam were forcibly pushed in from outside.

An undisguised and powerful aura of Demon Cultivator rushed towards them.

Su Bai looked up and saw a Demon Cultivator, over three meters tall, dressed in a blood-red wolf robe, walking towards him in human form.

He had a handsome face, a hint of a smile in his eyes, and a slightly upturned mouth, giving him an air of unruliness.

Upon seeing this person, Su Bai knew that his target had finally appeared.

Unexpectedly, he spotted his target so easily.

Upon seeing the newcomer, the Eight-Foot Madam's expression visibly turned cold.

"Mother, why didn't you tell me about Yinyue's awakening of her Bloodline, such a joyous occasion?"

The beast spoke, and it was indeed Xiaoyue, the crown Crown Prince of the Moon Wolf Tribe Wolf Emperor's eldest son Howling Moon.

Howling Moon walked to the opposite side of Su Bai and sat cross-legged on the ground.

His body, over three meters tall, was much taller than Su Bai even when he was sitting on the ground.

"It must be you, Human Race Alchemist. It's all thanks to you that my dear brother was able to awaken his Bloodline?"

Howling Moon deliberately gathered her aura and rushed towards Su Bai, intending to give Su Bai a hard time.

Eight-Foot Madam saw through his intention and immediately focused her aura to block Howling Moon's aura from entering.

"Why aren't you in the Cultivation Room preparing for the Young Wolf Lord Battle? What are you doing running wild here?" Eight-Foot Madam said bluntly.

act wildly?

Listening from the sidelines, Su Bai felt a surge of excitement; this was blatant disgust.

Has the rivalry between the stepmother and stepson of the Moon Wolf Tribe really reached this point?

Su Bai discreetly remained hidden to one side, minimizing his presence, secretly calculating that his mission to Azure Fish Hall assassin might be much simpler than he had imagined.

It seems that infiltrating behind enemy lines is still quite necessary.

When taking on Assassin missions in the future, as long as the time limit is not too short, you must go deep behind enemy lines and carefully analyze the enemy situation.

Perhaps they won't even need to lift a finger; they can use someone else to do their dirty work.

"Act wildly?"

Howling Moon snorted coldly and leaned forward, intending to reach out and lift the chin of the Eight-Foot Madam.

But he was slapped away by the Eight-Foot Madam.

The physical clash between High-Rank Demon Cultivator is no joke; Su Bai clearly saw the space itself ripple slightly after that slap.

"Don't you dare bully my mother!" Yinyue, no longer shy, stood in front of the Eight-Foot Madam.

"You expect this little brat to grow up and take over the Moon Wolf Tribe?"

"I advise you to think this through carefully. After Imperial Father dies, you should still marry me," Howling Moon, uttering a startling statement.

The practice of fathers marrying wives, or brothers marrying their deceased brothers-in-law, is extremely common in Demon Cultivator Lineage where High-Rank Demon Cultivator often suffer from severe fertility issues.
