But then again, if she really wanted to go undercover, why put on the facade of a saintess?
What kind of twisted fun is this? Isn't she afraid of screwing things up?
"Then I'll stick with you for the time being."
She said, narrowing her eyes and flashing a sweet smile.
With just that smile, no one would associate her with the Soul-Devouring Succubus.
But in Jiang Wang's mind, alarm bells were ringing.
"I can tell you any information you want to know, you know."
The girl moved closer, right next to Jiang Wang.
"Don't you think so, Brother Jiang Wang?"
In an instant, she dropped her disguise, revealing her true eyes and expression.
Because they were so close, only Jiang Wang could see this expression.
"There are some things I need to tell you too."
Without a doubt, she was the Soul-Devouring Succubus. The moment she spoke, she even used her original voice.
Empty, hollow eyes, a charming, soul-stirring voice. Jiang Wang could even smell the peculiar fragrance on her body.
"Alright."
Jiang Wang readily agreed. He was also curious about what this person was up to.
So, Jiang Wang temporarily said goodbye to his companions.
He told the twins to wait for him at the arena and asked Heras to try to negotiate with the local bandit leader.
As for himself, he followed the Soul-Devouring Succubus towards a peculiar shop nearby.
It was a modern fast-food restaurant. For Jiang Wang, such a place was extremely rare.
Whether it was the Beastman World or the Mushroom World, both were relatively backward worlds with very slow development.
Fast-food restaurants like this simply didn't exist.
Now that Jiang Wang saw it again, he felt quite happy.
The aroma of fried chicken and burgers filled the air. There was no one inside the shop, but the smell of the food was incredibly tempting.
The Soul-Devouring Succubus placed a token down, and a set meal immediately appeared at the counter.
Jiang Wang followed suit, placed a token, and also received a set meal.
Chapter 651: Trap
Jiang Wang ate the fried chicken burger, his mouth full of grease, but he didn't mind at all.
Washing it down with some unknown brand of cola, he ate like crazy, a satisfied expression on his face.
"So, what do you want from me? Miss Soul-Devouring Succubus."
Jiang Wang said, picking up a napkin and wiping his mouth, even letting out a burp.
Although the Soul-Devouring Succubus had ordered food, she had no intention of eating it.
Jiang Wang wasn't polite at all. Seeing that she wasn't interested in these high-calorie foods, he simply snatched them over and ate them with relish.
He ate two portions. It had been a long time since he had fried chicken burgers, so he had to enjoy it to the fullest.
Whether it was the Beastman World or the Mushroom World, he hadn't had anything good to eat.
Although he had obtained the Happy Mushroom, he hadn't had time to try it yet. His mouth was practically devoid of flavor.
Although he could cook some delicious food in the Zerg base, he wasn't quite satisfied.
Now that he was indulging in a feast, there was naturally nothing to hide.
"I'm here to convey Lord Shuten-doji's intentions. He wants to invite you to join the World Serpent."
The Soul-Gathering Succubus cut straight to the point, without any intention of chatting or exchanging pleasantries with Jiang Wang.
"Oh? I'm quite interested. Okay, I agree to join you."
Jiang Wang said, spouting nonsense as soon as he opened his mouth.
Of course, he wanted to "join." Whether it was the World Serpent's purpose in this trip or the technique of extracting the world's origin.
These were all things that Jiang Wang wanted.
If he could obtain all of this by pretending to join them, then why not do it?
"You agreed too readily. Anyone can see that there's something wrong with you."
The Soul-Devouring Succubus complained, seemingly not a serious person.
"You want me to offer a pledge of allegiance, right? Tell me, what should I do?"
Jiang Wang said, having finished all the fried chicken burgers from the two set meals.
He had eaten to his heart's content and was now patting his stomach, looking at her with interest.
"What I said before wasn't all lies. There is indeed a team from the Holy Temple that has arrived in advance."
"Go kill them all, and it must be in broad daylight, with everyone seeing it with their own eyes."
"You must also issue a statement spreading everywhere, completely severing ties with the Holy Temple."
Rather than a pledge of allegiance, it was more like a small test.
Whether or not the people of the Holy Temple were killed didn't matter to them.
What they needed was for Jiang Wang to completely sever ties with "that side" and fall completely into the abyss.
"Is that so? Then what are the benefits of joining the World Serpent?"
Jiang Wang asked, smiling. He seemed to be seriously considering whether this was feasible.
"You will have the powerful strength to reach the nine thousand million worlds."
"You should have heard of this saying, right? The nine thousand million worlds have no right or wrong, only strength and weakness."
"Absolute power means absolute correctness. As long as you are strong enough, you can sweep away everything."
The Soul-Devouring Succubus said, narrowing her eyes, a hint of fanaticism appearing in those empty, hollow eyes.
"And we, the World Serpent, can give you this power."
She said, smiling at Jiang Wang.
In the end, this guy didn't explicitly state what the benefits would be after joining.
What she said was just empty words, without any meaning.
Anyone could say these nice words, just like a black-hearted company boss drawing a big pie for their employees.
Give me something practical, like a raise or a vacation.
The World Serpent wanted to invite Jiang Wang to join, but the details that should have been explained were not disclosed.
Jiang Wang didn't feel a trace of sincerity from the Soul-Devouring Succubus.
If he really did as she said and killed those people.
They would turn around and refuse Jiang Wang's membership, and Jiang Wang would be saddled with a bad reputation.
The World Serpent would eliminate an enemy and make Jiang Wang hostile to the Holy Temple.
Perhaps, this was their plan.
If Jiang Wang were to foolishly follow their arrangements, it would be a bit too troublesome.
"You're right. Sometimes, power can indeed distort all the common sense in the world."
"But I still prefer to see the weak bravely attacking the invincible for the sake of so-called justice."
Jiang Wang said, crossing his arms in front of his chest.
Just like before in the Beastman World, in order to prevent the spread of the power of the abyss, the few remaining Holy Temple warriors fearlessly attacked.
They were not afraid of sacrifice, bravely moving forward, their spirit shining like golden brilliance.
"You're a bit similar to that blind fool."
"The people of the Holy Temple are, as always, idiots."
She said, looking at Jiang Wang with some disgust.
This guy exuded an annoying aura.
And this aura reminded her of the person she hated the most, her sister.
"And aren't you most afraid of this kind of person?"
"Otherwise, you wouldn't go to so much trouble, releasing so much power of the abyss."
"Just to delay the people of the Holy Temple. Your actions are so big that they also expose your weaknesses."
The World Serpent feared the Holy Temple. These world-devouring lunatics feared the holy light, feared the light of salvation that bloomed with miraculous brilliance.
"I do like power, but I'm not so lacking in principles."
Jiang Wang said, standing up from the chair.
It seemed that the plan to pretend to join the World Serpent was probably impossible.
He really couldn't bring himself to kill the innocent Blades of the Holy Temple.
He didn't consider himself a good person, but he wouldn't abandon his principles.
The people of the Holy Temple had always given him a good feeling, a group of honest, simple people who liked to do good and act justly.
Jiang Wang was unlikely to attack them.
As for playing some tricks, that was even more impossible.
Playing tricks under the noses of a group of extraordinary World Serpent members, Jiang Wang's strength was not enough to do it.
