Deity Mufeng’s expression darkened instantly. With unwavering firmness in his voice, he spoke slowly: "No, this is inappropriate. As a venerable deity, how can I stoop to deceiving a woman’s affections? Such conduct would compromise my status and dignity as a deity. Furthermore, even if I were to pose as her cousin, the consequences of being exposed would be unthinkable. It would only make matters more difficult and could even drive us into a more precarious situation."
Watching Deity Mufeng’s resolute attitude, I could not help but feel hesitant myself. On one hand, I understood his concerns; given his status, such an act was indeed improper. On the other hand, we were in urgent need of a way to turn Yunniang to our side.
Jiyue, however, appeared unwilling to give up. Frowning, he urged, "This is the best plan we have at the moment. If we don't do this, how can we possibly get Yunniang to defect? Deity Mufeng, the situation is critical; we must prioritize the big picture. We cannot abandon a potential opportunity for success simply because of personal reservations."
