"Rest assured, I won't kill you. After all, there are too few people as sensible as you in the Heavenly Court."
The red-robed man bent down, patted the face of the elderly host, and chuckled softly, "Get up, I'm taking the incense fire with me."
With a thought.
A dark green incense stick flew to the statue of Great Emperor Qingfeng. Its flame wasn't lit, nor did any smoke swirl.
Instead, the power of incense fire from within the statue was attracted by the dark green incense stick, forming a thin line that slowly drifted into it.
"This is the incense that believers offer day and night. How mesmerizing it is."
The red-robed man's eyes were greedy and intoxicated as he took a deep breath.
But he dared not absorb even a bit of it, allowing the incense stick to draw away most of the power of the incense fire from the statue.
The elderly host looked around cautiously and said, "Senior, you could actually absorb it all, there's no one checking here."
