Chapter 479: Flower Show (Additional 5200)

Aaron scoffed: "At least the 'Mother of Night' is overtly hostile to me... If I were to venture to the peak of the Spirit World in my true form, I'd likely be observed by many Si Sui..."

"What a pity..."

The 'Raven' flapped its wings, then seemingly made a 'helpless' gesture like a human.

"It seems... the matter of the 'Gate of Longevity' will require careful planning."

Aaron looked at the 'Raven': "I would like you to lobby the Si Sui who are neutral but lean towards my side, to give their silent consent to Motula's promotion... After its success, I will reward you with a blessing beyond your imagination."

"No problem, I am happy to serve you!"
