My heart shuddered as I heard his words. “Even if that’s the case, I can’t ruin Mu Zi. How can I, an ugly person, be compatible with her Goddess-like looks? I can’t let her live her life in misery. She’ll be able to forget about me as time passes.”
Uncle Firewood was stunned. “I didn’t think your feelings would be that deep. Is love so great? Let’s not talk about this now, and keep your dispirited looks away. We have to deal with the business at hand.”
I took in a deep breath. “Where are the divine instruments being kept?”
Uncle Firewood thought and said, “They’re top grade, so it should be in the Demon Emperor’s armory.”
I asked, “Will it be heavily guarded?”
