Chapter 610: The Wisdom of Oranges

Meng Hongchen and Keke looked at Juzi strangely, without saying much, and claimed that they were going to buy ingredients and left on their own accord.

After the two of them left, Huo Yuhao looked at Ju Zi and asked curiously, "What do you want to tell me?"

Orange pursed her lips and bowed to Huo Yuhao.

Huo Yuhao's mouth twitched.

"You don't have to do this."

Juzi shook his head and said, "You are my benefactor, so I should do this gift."

“Benefactor?” Huo Yuhao asked. In fact, he knew roughly what Ju Zi was talking about. It was nothing more than helping her kill Dai Hao.

Orange nodded, with a look of reminiscence in her eyes, and said in a soft voice:
"I was originally a resident of a small town on the border of the Xingluo Empire. However, when I was young, Duke Baihu forcibly launched a war for military merit. My father was forcibly captured by his soldiers and died in military service. My mother died of grief and anger. My family property was seized by his soldiers, and I was forced into exile. Later, I fled to the Sun-Moon Empire and was taken in by Xu Tianran, and served him."

"Therefore, I hate Dai Hao and the Xingluo Empire. I once vowed to kill Dai Hao."

"Just five years ago, I heard the news about you. Dai Hao had been killed by you, and the White Tiger Dai family was wiped out. Therefore, I am very grateful and want to thank you in person."

Huo Yuhao nodded and said in a gentle voice:

"I received your thanks. Dai Hao, he also had a grudge against me, so I killed him. You don't have to dwell on it too much. Now that your enemy is dead, you should look forward."

"Yes." Orange bowed his head and bowed again, "I have one more thing to apologize to you for."

"Oh? What's the matter?"

Huo Yuhao paused, a look of surprise on his face.

Ju Zi said, "I am Xu Tianran's subordinate and his right-hand man. When I learned that you were a god, Xu Tianran sent me a mission."

Huo Yuhao was curious, "What mission?"

Did Xu Tianran want to use the orange to deal with him? How? Let the orange crush him to death?

Ju Zi was silent for a moment, then said with a hint of shyness in her tone: "He asked me to seduce you and use his honey trap on you."

Huo Yuhao fell silent.

He felt he was misunderstood.

Why would anyone think of using a honey trap to deal with him? Has his reputation as a playboy spread across the continent?

Although it was true that he was lustful and playboy, he felt that he would never fall for beauty tricks.

Huo Yuhao looked at the orange up and down. He had to admit that the orange was indeed very beautiful, especially her delicate and white skin. A slight pinch would leave a red mark, as if water could be squeezed out. If it were an ordinary person, he might really fall into the trap, but he was determined and knowledgeable, and would not be misled by beauty.

"So, you are telling me this mission now, are you surrendering to me?"

Orange shook his head. "You are my benefactor, I don't want to harm you. When I received this mission, I wanted to tell you this."

Huo Yuhao said calmly: “Shouldn’t you avenge Xu Tianran? After all, he was the one who took you in, and I killed Xu Tianran.”

Juzi said seriously, "Xu Tianran did take me in, so I am who I am today. Without him, I might still be wandering somewhere. But, I have repaid his kindness. When he was assassinated, I blocked the fatal blow for him."

Huo Yuhao stared at Orange with a gloomy gaze. After a long while, he said calmly, "You are very smart."

Orange was silent.

Huo Yuhao continued, “You already knew that if I was determined to investigate, you would not be able to hide the mission assigned to you by Xu Tianran from me. You even guessed that I already knew the content of your mission. You were afraid that if it was exposed, your current life would be ruined.”

Orange continued to remain silent, feeling nervous and anxious.

Huo Yuhao said: “So, you want to turn the passive situation into active one. Instead of waiting for me to expose you, you might as well expose yourself. You first thanked me and made me your benefactor, creating an image of you being grateful and narrowing the distance between you and me. After all, I am your benefactor, how could you harm my benefactor?”

"Use your life experience to gain my sympathy and make me feel pity for you. Finally, confess your crime and tell me about the mission so that I won't blame you. You can even use this to get closer to me."

"I have to say, you have a very accurate grasp of people's hearts."

Ju Zi's heart sank to the bottom of the valley. Huo Yuhao was right. She did have some calculations in mind. She was just trying to protect herself. This was the best solution she could think of in a hurry. When she felt that Huo Yuhao seemed to know her, she had thought of this way out.

However, she was actually just going with the flow. She had originally planned to tell Huo Yuhao about the mission. The only difference from her original plan was that this time, in order to protect herself, she took the lead in thanking Huo Yuhao and telling him about her life story in order to get closer to him.

"Please forgive me, God!" Orange did not argue, but just bowed to the ground.

Huo Yuhao looked at Orange, and the atmosphere gradually became solemn.

Time passed by minute by minute. After an unknown amount of time, Huo Yuhao finally said, “I have no intention of blaming you. Although you suddenly thanked me and told me that there was indeed a plan in the content of the mission, I can detect your real intention. You did intend to tell me the content of the mission a long time ago. It was just a small calculation for self-protection. There is nothing wrong with it.”

"Intelligence and your grasp of people's hearts are your talents, not a sin."

Orange breathed a sigh of relief and promised, "I will never dare to hide or plot against the Lord God in the future."

Huo Yuhao said calmly: "As long as I want, I can know your thoughts. Okay, get up."

"Yes, God." Orange stood up respectfully.

Huo Yuhao put on a smile again and said in a gentle voice, “You don’t have to call me Lord God anymore, and you don’t have to be so respectful. I still like your previous attitude.”

"Yeah." Orange nodded, but still looked a little restrained.

Huo Yuhao didn't care. When they got to know each other better, she would find out that he was actually quite easy to get along with.

Except for enemies, everyone is smiling and friendly.
"Juzi, you must have been highly valued by Xu Tianran before, right?"

Huo Yuhao suddenly asked.

Juzi responded, "Because you helped me get revenge, I have less thoughts about revenge on the Xingluo Empire, which has caused Xu Tianran to distrust me. But I still control half of his intelligence organization."

Huo Yuhao suddenly realized that it was no wonder that Orange did not join the military like in the original book.

However, even so, Juzi holds an important position beside Xu Tianran.

No matter how much Xu Tianran distrusts Juzi, she once saved his life after all. Compared to other people, he trusts Juzi more. However, compared to the original novel, Xu Tianran has more checks and balances on Juzi, and does not let her dominate alone.

In addition, Orange is indeed capable, so it is only natural that he can control half of the intelligence agencies.

It just so happened that Zhang Lexuan was going to become the emperor of the Sun-Moon Empire. She was not familiar with the Sun-Moon Empire, so she could ask Orange to help her.
