Princess Xingye, Played Like a Puppet

The most important goal for Natsume at this stage was to find out whether that [King Zhenruo] had the ability to lock onto the [Yellow Spring Realm] and break through dimensions to invade this place!

All subsequent actions could only proceed after he obtained a definite answer.

If he could not be certain, then Natsume could only sit stationed here like a Buddha statue, waiting for [King Zhenruo] to launch a surprise attack.

He would be completely unable to return to the [Main Universe] and continue his operations.

That would be far too passive.

Therefore, this intelligence was incomparably important!

However, Natsume could not possibly go ask the other party himself, could he?

Thus, looking across the entire Otsutsuki Main Family royal clan, probably only [Shadow] and Otsutsuki Xingye, the two people closest to [King Zhenruo], could know the answer.

[Shadow]'s fate was currently unknown, so there was naturally no relying on him.

Therefore, he could only count on Her Highness Princess Xingye to answer this most important question.

Unfortunately.

When facing an enemy, this prideful and perverted princess would definitely not answer honestly.

Natsume could only resort to some special measures.

Although

deceiving and misleading others was not Natsume's preference, he had to admit

that such methods were sometimes very effective.

Otsutsuki Xingye was a genuine [Demigod].

Interrogation, torture, or searching her soul and memories...

none of those could guarantee the most accurate information.

After all, Princess Xingye was also skilled in the soul secret technique, [Shrine].

There was no guarantee that she had not altered her memories to mislead him.

Therefore, only by impersonating someone and earning her trust

could he make Otsutsuki Xingye reveal the truth of her own accord for her own interests.

That was the safest choice.

Sure enough.

Having been thoroughly duped by
