Blasphemy! Drow Matriarch Cultivation Plan

Li Wei disliked trouble, and trouble, once it appeared on a Female Drow, would often erupt in geometric proportions if left unchecked.

Honestly, if it weren't for dire circumstances, he would have just snapped her neck the moment he grabbed her. While it might be considered Ruthless Destruction, it was better than leaving a hidden danger.

But just as he was about to do so, he suddenly detected a faint energy fluctuation from her.

The source of this fluctuation was the pendant around her neck, which depicted a Spider Drow woman hanging upside down from a spiderweb.

A Divine Emblem!

The Divine Emblem of the Spider Queen Lolth!

'Damn it, I forgot this bitch was also a priestess of that crazy woman Lolth! And a priestess who had received Divine Favor! In that case, I really can't just kill this Bitch so easily.' Li Wei couldn't help but consider the consequences of acting rashly.

Although Deities didn't have the leisure to pay attention to every believer, they would occasionally bestow some attention upon believers who had received their Divine Favor.

Once such a believer was killed and the Chain of Faith was severed, the corresponding Deity could lock onto the perpetrator almost instantly through their Divine Power.

While they might not have the energy or inclination to seek revenge, they would at least cast a glance. And their final choice often depended on the target.

If the death was due to assassination by kin or ordinary demise, they wouldn't even bother. But a high-value culprit was worth considering.

Li Wei's current Half-Dragon form might be able to fool most beings in Coriel, but it definitely couldn't hide from a Deity who could see through all falsehoods with a single glance.

A freshly hatched Young Silver Dragon, Lolth would surely be delighted to have her priestesses bring a Spider Drow to receive this fine Sacrifice.

This was the true reason Li Wei pondered deeply and changed his mind.

However, there were always more solutions than problems. Since direct killing was inconvenient, why not change the approach?

Once Li Wei's thoughts shifted, various ideas flooded in, and he finally settled on the one he considered most cost-effective:

'If I kill all these Drow at once, Gershon City will definitely send a higher-level investigation team soon. This cycle will continue, and I'll have no chance to sleep. Since that's the case, why not cultivate a Puppet to handle the situation above! I could even consider pushing her to the Matriarch Position. As long as I have a few more years to develop, what if Lolth finds out then? Unless she personally projects herself down, in this narrow and treacherous underground mining area of the Dark Magic Web, combined with my breath and Melee abilities, unless their entire Gershon City army invades, no matter how many teams they send, they'll be fodder. Even if I can't win head-on, I, Li Mou Long, can make a Tactical Retreat, and they won't be able to stop me.'

In just a few moments, Li Wei had sorted out his new thoughts and had the words for Dishana that, in her eyes, sounded like Salvation.

The Drow, who had been in despair, saw hope rekindle in her eyes with these words. She forced a smile onto her face and tightly gripped the wrist Li Wei held around her neck, as if this was the only way she could get a breath and a chance to speak:

"Lord Hohogg! I... I know I was wrong! Such a lowly being as myself has no right to provoke or threaten you! Please forgive my Offense, cough cough cough!"

Dishana, who had nearly died from suffocation, was thrown back into the pool of unknown liquid by Li Wei as if she were Trash. Regaining her breath, Dishana coughed painfully, suppressing the urge to vomit. Just as she looked up to express her gratitude, she found that the Divine Emblem she had cherished and worn around her neck had been taken by Li Wei, who was now examining it closely in his claws. She didn't know what he was planning, but Dishana didn't dare to immediately ask for the Divine Emblem, which was second only to her life.

Li Wei played with Lolth's Divine Emblem, a playful smile on his lips. "As I said, because of your foolish Kin, I've changed my mind. Not only do I plan to let you go, but I'm also prepared to have all of Zelandia secretly support you in ascending to the Matriarch Position of the Jadiel Family. What do you think of this idea?"

Dishana was stunned as if struck by divine grace from the heavens, her face involuntarily showing ecstasy. But it only lasted for a moment before she froze, even feeling a sense of dread.

As an orthodox Drow who grew up in the treacherous environment of Gershon City, she never believed Lolth would grant them free Divine Favor. Any overt favor usually came with a price several times greater.

Admittedly, the offer Li Wei suddenly made was tempting. If it were any other time, with this level of support, she could aim for the Matriarch Position of her family. Even if she had to be his Sex Slave in secret, what did it matter?

The Half-Dragon Gnoll leader before her, while possessing the overbearing aura of a Red Dragon in terms of strength and size, seemed to have nothing to do with Red Dragons in terms of appearance. Her Priest Robe had already torn, leaving her completely defenseless lying before him. The way he looked at her was still the same as looking at trash. She had already prepared for the worst the moment she saw him transform into a Half-Dragon Gnoll, expecting to be a mere prop for a few days or even be ravaged to death. To her surprise, she had overthought it.

Dishana, like a Gambler who had lost everything, wore an unnatural smile. The more she saw the increasingly strange look in his eyes as he toyed with her Divine Emblem, the more uneasy she became.

"Thank you for your regard, but I may not have any more chips to exchange for your support."

'Oh? Even a greedy Drow has days where they fear the unknown.'

Li Wei chuckled inwardly, his smile becoming even more devilish. "No, you do. There's a price in this world called an Overdraft Loan. I'll spare your life and support you in taking power. The price is that you will serve me without compensation. My first request is simple: don't let your damned Kin bother me for the next few years. Of course, since you can't provide collateral for this Overdraft Loan, you'll need to provide a small Pledge of Allegiance to show your resolve."

Without waiting for her response, he casually tossed the Lolth Divine Emblem onto her belly with a crisp "splat."

The next moment, Dishana felt as if she had heard a pronouncement no different from a Devil's. "Now, use this thing to wipe away the filth on your body."

At that instant, lightning seemed to flash through Dishana's mind, and her entire body went numb as if electrocuted.

Blasphemy!

If she truly did as he asked, it would undoubtedly be an act of blasphemy!

As a Divine Emblem that carried the Divine Power of a Deity, it was often equivalent to a miniature Shrine carried by devout priests. In a sense, it was a manifestation of the Deity in the hearts of believers!

Now, he was asking her to use the manifestation of a Deity to...

Her expression shifted from initial shock to utter rage, then from impotent fury to despair and bewilderment. Her eyes became so vacant they were heartbreaking.

Her expression was so vivid that it opened Li Wei's eyes. He thought that this girl had truly been born in the wrong place. If she had been on his previous life's Blue Star, she would have definitely won an Oscar Golden Statuette for Best Actress.

But life is often wonderful because once a certain thought breaks through a tense nerve, one often discovers that there is still great potential to be tapped in this new realm.

The formerly devout Lolth priestess suddenly seemed to have an epiphany. She flashed Li Wei a brilliant and seductive smile, picked up the Divine Emblem she once cherished as a treasure, and licked it with her tongue.

"Then, as you wish, Lord Hogg. And please, you must also fulfill your promise."

With that, before everyone's shocked and disbelieving eyes, she used the Divine Emblem, now wet with her saliva, to wipe away the filth on herself.

At this point, she had already fulfilled Li Wei's request.

But this Drow elf, perhaps after breaking through her reverence for the divine, seemed to have achieved an unprecedented spiritual sublimation. The Divine Emblem necklace followed her movements.

Even Li Wei, who had seen much, was momentarily stunned. He quickly reacted and kicked the shameless Drow flying. A rainbow-like mist of water sprayed out in mid-air.

'What a disgusting sight. Aren't you afraid Lolth will catch you red-handed? I'm scared of Divine Punishment, but you're even more so!' Li Wei unhappily wiped the sole of his foot on the rock surface.
