Miss Mu had been seriously dehydrated these past few days, her face alternating between flushed and pale, now leaning into Xia Feng's arms, totally spent.
This month could be called hell, a shameful event destined to be buried deep in her memory, never to be willingly recalled.
But no matter, shame is often the crucial foundation upon which victors ascend to greatness.
After all, without hardships, without foes, even if one were to win, likely there would be little joy to feel, bland and uninteresting.
"Miss Mu, today's punishment is almost over. Do you have any thoughts?" whispered the man beside her.
She just furrowed her fine eyebrows, not responding or paying him any attention.
"Drip drop, drip drop~"
The clock hanging on the wall ticked away each second, like water silently flowing, time passing by.
The air in the closet grew increasingly stuffy and slick.
Seeing that Mu Qingtong completely ignored him, closing his eyes with an indifferent expression devoid of any emotional fluctuation, Xia Feng couldn't help but admire her.
Truly worthy of being called the Destructive Witch.
After a month of grueling learning, Miss Mu had learned and completely adapted to his teasing punishment, no longer showing any emotional fluctuations.
Xia Feng's favorite thing to watch was Mu Qingtong's emotions coming to the surface, but it seemed his perverse delight was discovered by Miss Mu, hence it didn't go as he wished.
It seemed, the excitement ring no longer had much effect.
To humiliate Miss Mu, making her cry and beg for mercy with her tongue out, he'd have to find another way! Xia Feng thought of strategies in his mind.
At that moment, with a loud noise, the closet began to shake violently.
Or rather, the entire ship was trembling.
Through the Eye of Decompilation, he saw this sea region had plunged into a battlefield mire, with spaceships and lasers flying chaotically.
This ship was being viciously attacked by the Golden Sparrow.
At the same time, the bedroom walls displayed intricate light patterns, quickly forming a cage-like structure, completely sealing off the area.
"Miss Mu, it seems this hiding strategy isn't working," said Xia Feng, retracting his hand while skillfully tying Mu Qingtong's dress straps, "Looking at the situation outside, it seems we've been discovered."
Her black dress returned to its elegant and dignified look as Mu Qingtong subconsciously covered her long legs with her dress, shaking her head softly:
"No use talking more, Mr. Xia. We better think about how to escape."
"Should we use your Raven Feathers or my Heavenly Destiny Stone?"
The Life Power stored in the Heavenly Destiny Stone hadn't been used yet,
and this Life Power could not only wish for rare items like the Life Trace Path but also wish for Divine Relics, such as a relic known as "Singularity Stone."
The Singularity Stone was a one-time consumable that could transport two people instantly back to the space and location they were in a year ago.
Both of them were in Area 51 a year ago...
Now that they had struggled so much to reach Area 41, Xia Feng naturally did not want to go back.
Moreover, using the Life Power here would be too wasteful.
"Wait a bit longer, see if there's still a chance."
Xia Feng spoke solemnly, then, sensing something, looked up, and saw a woman with a graceful figure quietly appearing outside the door.
She was a tall woman with big pink wavy hair, elongated eyes adorned with several butterfly marks, red lips holding a lollipop, and puffed cheeks.
After a casual glance, she walked through the door on her high heels.
And with her entry, all the Arrays in the room started to rapidly break down.
Xia Feng slightly frowned, "It doesn't seem like she's from the Black Moon Church."
Mu Qingtong quickly identified her, "She's from the Burning Heaven Holy Temple, under the Suppression Venerable Seat, Walker Ye Lin, True Martial Second Realm."
The Burning Heaven Holy Temple has four Honorable Seats.
[Kui Gang Honorable Seat]
[Suppression Venerable]
Che Taixian was a walker under the seat of the Eastern Venerate; Ye Lin belonged to the Suppression Venerable.
The sharp, high heels tapped lightly on the floor, the crisp sound especially loud in the silent bedroom, each tap seeming to strike Xia Feng's heart.
Xia Feng's dark pupils narrowed slightly, only to see a tall woman standing in front of the wardrobe. Her red lips made a 'pop~' sound as she took out a lollipop,
tossed it into the air, where the lollipop spun rapidly and transformed into little stars, disappearing without a trace.
The woman's beautiful eyes focused intently on the wardrobe, her lips curving into a faint, ambiguous smile as she said softly, "Saint Heir, do I really need to invite you out?"
"..." Content originally comes from ɴovelfire.net
So she can actually see me... Unlike the previous encounter with Jiang Qiue, this time Xia Feng clearly felt the gaze fixed on him.
However, he didn't immediately grab Mu Qingtong and run away.
Instead, he pushed open the wardrobe door and walked straight out.
Ye Lin stared at Xia Feng's white base K mask, her beautiful eyes narrowing slightly, "So this is what the Saint Heir looks like, indeed good-looking."
"...!" Xia Feng was resigned, this woman could see through the Concealment and even through the mask?
This was the first time the Bronze Mask had failed, revealing everything without reserve.
It was also his first time having his identity exposed while disguised as a K-masked person.
"Alright, chasing me for so long, you must be tired," Xia Feng clicked his tongue and took a gradual step forward, "Let's go."
"Thump thump thump thump thump—"
With the explosion, the ship swayed from side to side, footsteps quickly drawing nearer.
At the same time, the Golden Sparrow's ship whizzed past outside the window, the Wolf-tail Knight instantly flashing into the bedroom, the woman in a green dress entering from outside with a cold gaze.
Ye Lin placed her hand on Xia Feng's shoulder, her beautiful eyes glancing at the crowd with a light chuckle, "Gentlemen, you are a step too late."
Before her words fell, she and the K-masked person had already disappeared.
The three forces didn't hesitate at all, they also disappeared quickly, pursuing the Goddess Fleet that had already fled beyond the outer perimeter of the battlefield, the bedroom returning to silence.
The wardrobe doors creaked gently.
The woman in a black dress stood in the center of the wardrobe, her beautiful eyes serene,
From her observations, Ye Lin's spiritual power was extraordinarily high, having reached at least the Wise Man Level!
It seemed that the woman was able to see through Mr. Xia's disguise by using her high spiritual power in conjunction with specific Spiritual Clothes.
Upon reflection, it appeared that the Bronze Mask and Bronze Hidden still had flaws, susceptible to being pierced by those with very high spiritual power.
However, this wasn't a problem for her, as the pink-haired woman's spiritual power was like a kitten compared to a giant lioness in her presence.
This was also why she didn't leave the wardrobe with Xia Feng.
Ye Lin hadn't detected her presence.
However, they hadn't communicated through Mind Transmission just now, to quickly devise a strategy.
After all, given the pink-haired woman's cunning methods, being able to see through Mr. Xia's disguise, she might detect her presence through the faint fluctuations of Spiritual Particles created by transmission.
Of course, even without communication,
the moment Mr. Xia stepped out of the wardrobe, she had already guessed his plan.
He was probably preparing to enter the Goddess Fleet and penetrate deep into enemy territory to seize the Yao Stone.
This move was still somewhat risky.
However, at this juncture, the only option was to face the challenges head-on, finding a way to help Mr. Xia seize the Yao Stone, and escape with it.
