"Heavenly Demon Oath?"
"Even if you had not mentioned it, Senior, I would have done so myself. I would never leak the slightest bit of information concerning you... Even cutting away the relevant memories after the transaction is complete would be feasible."
Gong Shulan's tone clearly carried a note of delight.
Hearing this, Wei Tu became even more certain of his earlier conjecture.
"This is not a place to talk. In five days, come to Kou's cave abode... We will discuss this matter in detail then." After a brief ponder, he bluntly ended the conversation with these words.
"Going to his cave abode for a secret discussion..."
The moment those words fell, more than half the joy in Gong Shulan's heart was extinguished.
A cave abode was secluded and indeed suitable for discussing such matters in detail, but it was also a place where the strong often preyed upon the weak. Moreover, given Wei Tu's strength as a high-level Ancient Demon, should he entertain "wicked thoughts," what he coveted and lusted after would be far more than the "beauty" ordinary men cared about.
But... Wei Tu was also the only person who could help her with this matter at present. After a slight hesitation, she still gritted her teeth and agreed.
Her status as a disciple of the Demon Venerable Lianwu was both a shackle and a powerful backing she could rely on within the Ancient Demon Realm. On that point alone, she refused to believe Wei Tu would dare harbor "wicked thoughts" toward her.
"This seventh-tier puppet was never meant to be fully restored to its original state. If Puppet Master Lu can work his marvelous craft and restore part of it, letting it retain several tenths of its former combat strength... Kou would be more than delighted."
