"Kou Ruozhi, you've really crossed the line. When I agreed to be the Heavenly Mother, we made a deal. You would provide the resources I needed and I would use my medical skills to treat the poor. You promised me.

At this point, Kou Ruozhi was completely panicked. Seeing the hole getting deeper, he hurriedly defended himself. "Heavenly Mother, it was a necessity. In order to assist our cause, I had to lie. I did not really mean to use you."
"And moreover, Heavenly Mother, you are so powerful, how could I possibly exploit you?"
