Chapter 598 Kind-looking but not good at fighting
The Dark Abyss is an extremely hidden space.
Li Shun lay languidly on the dragon throne, two Moon Essences floating in his hand. One emitted a bright moonlight, while the other was as red as blood.
"Dottore, you really are a genius. If I merge with the three months, wouldn't I gain new powers?"
In the main hall, Dotore the Younger bowed deeply.
"Your Majesty is wise. We are all your subjects, and of course we must consider the interests of our Great Sugar."
"As long as Your Majesty's power gradually grows stronger, it will be a blessing for your subjects. May Your Majesty protect the Great Sugar and ensure its continuation for thousands of generations."
Dotole was so embarrassed he was practically dying of embarrassment. After all, it was the rule of the Big Sugar, and he was now living under someone else's roof, so there was nothing he could do.
"Hmm...not bad." Li Shun was enjoying this feeling.
"I heard that your original body is still with Han Yu. Once I merge with San Yue and gain power, it's not impossible for me to help you catch it."
Little Dotole heard this! This was exactly what he wanted to achieve.
"If I could devour the original soul, I could become the most complete version of myself, instead of merely existing as a fragment."
Li Shun sat up. "You can go down now."
"Summon the apostle general who will lead this attack until winter."
Before long, hurried footsteps could be heard outside the palace.
"Your Majesty...you summoned me." The speaker was a mutated Abyss Apostle.
Li Shun frowned!
"What about the priest who went with you?!"
Li Shun's aura instantly expanded several times, frightening the apostles below the stage into trembling.
"The priest...he's nowhere to be found."
Why did he react so strongly? As the one who initially merged with the High Priest of the Abyss, Li Shun possessed the secret method to control the High Priest of the Abyss, and would know immediately if he died.
"It's nowhere to be found, and I can't sense it here either. That's strange."
"I understand. You may all leave now."
Originally, I thought my sugar emperor was going to come and demand an explanation, but his tone suddenly softened.
"Your injuries are also quite severe, so go to Dotore and recover properly."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Originally, Li Shun did not have high hopes for this attack in winter, after all, some of the Executors of the Fools under the Ice Queen were very powerful.
However, to his surprise, Han Yu appeared. Although it was only an avatar, it was still someone he could not contend with at present.
Looking at the two moon essences floating in his palm, Li Shun chuckled to himself, "Frost Moon... young girl, hehehe."
...
"Han Yu, what you've done..."
In Lauma's room, Han Yu's appearance began to change, transforming into one that was not much different from that of the Frost Moon Child clan.
"I'll have to trouble Miss Lauma with my identity."
In the end, Han Yu became the son of Frost Moon, and his identity was that of a scholar who had returned from his travels.
At night, Han Yu concealed himself and approached a resting place of the Frost Moon Child.
Unmarried members of the Frostmoon Clan are not allocated independent housing; instead, three to four people live in one bedroom.
Han Yu went to the places where the women performed the sacrifices; they remained unmarried for life. The reason was simple: to better serve the Moon Goddess.
"That's strange, Sonia, didn't you say you just got your period a while ago? How come you're...?"
Inside the room, Sonia, who was just over twenty years old, could only give an awkward smile. "Senior, I was sick, so the appointment was extended."
Imagine several women getting together; they would definitely chatter away and discuss all sorts of topics.
As for how Han Yu was able to make such an accurate prediction, think of the old ladies chatting on Earth – it's the same principle.
"I think you're sick too. You spilled the offerings last time, and you've been so absent-minded lately."
"I'm sorry, senior. I'll definitely be more careful next time."
"That Lord Han is a close friend of the Moon Goddess. Your outburst during the day is truly appalling..."
Han Yu listened to most of what was said, but his senses remained scattered. He knew that Sonia was problematic, but she had no connection whatsoever with the Abyss.
"I remember that in Genshin Impact, Sonia was supposed to be a cheerful and lively person, even when she was sick, her eyes would dart around during the day."
Han Yu stayed at Frost Moon's Son for several days, but still gained nothing.
"Assuming that Sonia was bewitched by the Abyss and betrayed the Frostmoon Child, then as an informant, she must have been gathering intelligence."
After gathering the intelligence, she would definitely find an opportunity to contact the people above her, so Han Yu decided to test her.
On a chosen day, Han Yu had his Shadow Clone transform into his own likeness and spread the word that the Moon Goddess was coming to the Frost Moon Child to discuss important matters with Laumma.
The news spread quickly among the Frostmoon Children, and everyone looked on with reverence.
"The Moon Goddess is coming, we must prepare well, especially you, Sonia, don't be so absent-minded."
“Senior, why is the Moon Goddess here…” Sonia looked at her senior.
"You wouldn't know this, would you? This is a closely guarded secret of Frostmoon." This senior enjoyed being the center of attention and had a penchant for showing off.
Considering that Sonia was also a priestess, it wouldn't hurt to tell her, so as to avoid confusion and any mistakes later.
"I'll tell you now, the Moon Goddess and the Moon Chanter have something very private to discuss."
"So, senior, what are they going to talk about?" Sonia asked curiously, weaving a little star-shaped ornament in her hands.
"How could we possibly know that? Just focus on your work."
Just then, Lauma happened to pass by, accompanied by an elderly man who looked very knowledgeable.
"Lord Yongyue, Senior Yu."
Following behind Lauma was Han Yu. At this moment, his hair was gray, and he was dressed in the usual clothes of the Son of Frost Moon. He looked like a kind-faced old scholar who was not good at fighting.
What were you guys talking about just now?
Lauma deliberately avoided the gazes of the other priestesses and looked at Sonia.
To be honest, she found it hard to believe Han Yu's suspicions, but she acknowledged that it was better to believe it than not. Clearing him of suspicion would be the best outcome. If Shuangyue really had an internal traitor, then Lau Ma would have to seriously reflect on her actions.
"It's nothing, Lord Moon Chanter. We're just a little excited to hear that the Moon Goddess is coming tomorrow."
Han Yu stroked his white beard without saying a word, but his aged eyes would occasionally glance at the woman.
"Yes, the Moon Goddess is coming back, and we are all very happy. Well, I still have to go and see other places."
Lauma and Hanyu exchanged glances. "Lord Moon Singer, what about the fourth Moon Essence?"
Han Yu's words came from a great distance, but Sonia could hear them.
"Senior, my stomach hurts, I need to use the restroom."
Sonia acted swiftly, knowing she was following the two unnoticed, but she had already fallen into Han Yu's trap.
“She’s catching up,” Han Yu said.
“Perhaps she was just going to pick up some materials and happened to be on the way…” Lauma pursed her thin lips, thinking to herself, “Sonia, I really don’t want to believe this is true.”
The bait had been laid. The reason Han Yu didn't choose to use force was mainly because he feared that someone behind the scenes might have sabotaged things, leaving him with nothing in the end...
