"High Priest, I witnessed with my own eyes yesterday that Ruth brought a male human back home and stayed overnight. Her virginity is no longer intact, so she can no longer bear the power of the gods and cannot become a saint, right?"
In the conference hall of the Daniel Manor.
Amos stood at the bottom with a fawning expression, respectfully speaking.
Sitting in the main seat was a succubus whose age was indiscernible. He had the figure of a young girl and the charm of a mature woman.
There was no hint of coquettishness in his eyebrows and eyes, but rather an indescribable dignity.
With that beautiful and aloof face, he was even more alluring.
Monica, the head of the Daniel family, sat in a lower seat. She still retained some of her former grace and charm, but compared to the High Priest sitting in the main seat, she appeared somewhat tainted.
The difference in temperament was like night and day.
Upon hearing this, Monica frowned slightly and asked in response, "Amos, you cannot spout nonsense about this matter.
Ruth has always been obedient and sensible. She awakened the bewitching gaze, unique among the succubus, which has been rare in the past five hundred years.
Even if her talent in cultivation wasn't outstanding before, with the experience of being baptized by the power of the gods, she might be able to achieve great heights."
Ruth was, after all, a person who emerged from Amman Street.
If she could truly become a saint in the clan or even the future High Priest, it would undoubtedly be beneficial for the Daniel family.
Naturally, Monica wanted to protect her.
Although Amos was a distant relative of the Daniel family and held considerable influence among the Succubus, she had never liked this guy.
He was a waste who indulged in demon drugs and lustful desires.
If not for the sake of the family, she would have driven him away long ago.
It was no secret that he had a fondness for Ruth. He had even mentioned it to her several times before, wanting her to bestow Ruth upon him, but she had rejected him every time.
Ruth was the top dancer on Amman Street, the face of Amman Street. Giving her to this wretch as a plaything?
However, Monica also knew the rules of the clan. Before the saint absorbed the power of the goddess, she had to remain a virgin.
Otherwise, she would burst and die because she couldn't withstand the pure power of the goddess.
Listening to Amos's words, she couldn't help but feel somewhat worried.
Ruth had always kept herself pure. She had stayed in a place like Amman Street for ten years without getting too close to any men, which was why she was chosen by the High Priest.
She had been careless. With only two or three days remaining, and without anyone guarding her, if Ruth lost her virginity and angered the High Priest, it would be difficult for Monica to protect her.
"Lady Monica, how could I dare to speak nonsense in front of the High Priest? I saw them getting intimate at the grand stage in Amman Street last night. Many dancers were present and can testify to it. Later, they left together and went straight back to Ruth's residence. Charlotte didn't leave until dawn."
Amos lamented, "High Priest, this matter concerns the saint of our clan, so I have to be extra cautious. I sent an old servant to keep an eye on them and only reported it to you after confirming it. It is true."
Monica had to nod and instruct the guards outside to bring Ruth.
Amos had a smug smile on his face. He knew that Monica had taken care of Ruth for a long time, which was why his schemes over the years had not succeeded.
But if Ruth angered the High Priest today, the Daniel family would suffer as well. They would have to beg the Millican family to help them out, and Ruth would naturally fall into his hands.
It was a pity that the wretched girl was already a second-hand item. He had spent so many years nurturing her in vain, only to have a human come and pluck the fruit.
Before long, Ruth, dressed in a plain long dress, arrived in the hall with the guards.
"High Priest, Clan Leader," Ruth greeted with a slight bow, acknowledging the two seated at the head.
As for Amos, she directly ignored him. The guards had informed her of the reason they brought her here.
"You wretched woman! I'll make you regret provoking me!" Amos's anger surged in his eyes, but he didn't show it on his face.
Instead, he put on a pained expression and reprimanded in anger, "Ruth! It's a waste of the High Priest's efforts to cultivate you. He allowed you to practice among the Succubus, but you still dared to fool around with a human male. It's simply shameless! Do you know the consequences?"
Ruth glanced at him, sneering disdainfully.
"If we're talking about shamelessness, I wouldn't dare compare myself to Lord Amos.
Drugs, prostitutes, gambling - you haven't missed any of the vices, have you?
And yet you dare to sit here and criticize others with such self-righteousness."
"You!" Amos's face alternated between red and pale. He didn't expect Ruth to remain calm and boldly expose his past.
Although these things weren't exactly secrets, it wasn't a good thing to leave a bad impression in front of the High Priest.
Ruth continued, "As for the human male you mentioned, he has a name - Doctor Charlotte, the owner of the Abyss Medical Hall.
He did stay in my room last night, but he didn't do any of the indecent things that you have in your mind.
He came to visit me.
More than ten days ago, I was abandoned by the Abyss Four Medical Halls, and sentenced to die soon.
He saved me. When even the gods had given up on me, he didn't.
I can stand here today because of Doctor Charlotte. He did spend the night in my room, but he didn't do anything."
"Heh! He stayed in your room all night and did nothing? Either you have no confidence in yourself or that guy is a useless worm," Amos sneered, now that Ruth had admitted that a man had slept in her room, it was as good as an admission that something had happened.
Monica's face showed concern. Ever since Ruth became famous, she had practically watched her grow up, and she knew what kind of person she was.
She had heard of Doctor Charlotte as well. It was said that he had recently gained favor with Diana and opened the fifth medical hall in the Abyss.
It wasn't hard to understand why Ruth would develop feelings for him but to dare to let him stay overnight in such a critical situation...
These two young people, their passions like tinder, and Ruth were regarded as beautiful by all men. The possibility of nothing happening last night was indeed quite low.
Having run Amman Street for so many years, she knew the true nature of men very well.
"Ruth is still a virgin. Let's stop talking about this matter," Amelia suddenly spoke up.
Amos's smile froze instantly, his pupils dilating gradually, almost in a high-pitched voice, he said, "This... This can't be true, right, High Priest? Have you made a mistake?"
Monica's eyes brightened, looking at Ruth with some surprise. Could it be... Doctor Charlotte wasn't up to par?
Amelia's face turned cold, and she said, her voice softer, "Amos, stop embarrassing the Millican family any further. There is now a potion for aversion to magic medicine that can be purchased in the Abyss. If you still can't give up magic medicine before returning to the family, then there's no need for you to go back."
Amos turned pale and did not dare to argue further, bowing his head respectfully and speaking in a low voice, "Understood, I will heed the teachings of the High Priest."
Amelia then turned to Ruth, her expression eased, and her voice softened, "Ruth, I am preparing to return to the family today. Would you like to come back with me?"
Ruth nodded and said, "Ruth is willing to accompany you back to the family."
Amelia nodded slightly and said, "Good, go pack your things, and we will leave today."
"High Priest, my maid Daisy has been with me for many years and we have a deep friendship. May I take her back to the family as well?" Ruth asked.
"You may."
"Thank you, High Priest." Ruth bowed slightly and then took her leave.
Amos also didn't want to stay here any longer and bowed to take his leave.
"Damn bitch, how dare you deceive me! I'll let it slide for now, but when you arrive at the family and fail to infuse your power, I'll make you know the consequences of provoking me."
After leaving the council chamber, Amos muttered under his breath, his eyes full of resentment.
"But before that, I'll torture your lover thoroughly and let him experience the feeling of wishing for death."
