Bound to Witch of Destruction – Chapter 62

Half an inch between their lips.
Neither moved, their gazes unwavering, and both seemed unconcerned by the close proximity.
Mu Qingtong’s long eyelashes trembled slightly as her cool, clear voice echoed in Xia Feng’s mind, “I’ve said what I needed to say. It’s your turn now.”
“My turn? My turn for what?”
“To tell me why you can devour the Calamity Force Sea.”
“Ah?” Xia Feng tilted his head, his expression filled with confusion. “That’s strange, when did I say I was going to tell you?”
Xia Feng had indeed asked if she wanted to know, but he never said he would tell her.
Mu Qingtong was not surprised by Xia Feng’s manipulative tactic; she was accustomed to it.
Her gaze remained calm as she stared at the man in front of her, the corners of her straight lips slowly curving into a cold arc. “Mr. Xia, it seems you only know how to take ‘three steps back’ and aren’t much of a dancer, are you?”
“Hm?” Xia Feng froze. Before he could react, Mu Qingtong’s dance steps suddenly quickened, and she abruptly switched to male steps, forcefully taking his waist.
“You—”
Xia Feng stumbled, quickly trying to keep up with her, but unfortunately, dance skills weren’t combat abilities; they wouldn’t synchronize.
Mu Qingtong’s steps grew faster and faster. Xia Feng spun until he was dizzy and tried to push her away, pressing against her slender shoulders. But in the next moment, a drowsy feeling washed over his mind.
His consciousness and thoughts began to stagnate, his gaze becoming vacant. Luckily, the Calamity Demon Heart suddenly throbbed, instantly waking him, but his entire body had lost all strength.
“What happened!” Xia Feng was shocked. His body was completely controlled by Mu Qingtong. Despite his strong stamina, he quickly began to pant. “You, slow down~”
He pressed on Mu Qingtong’s bare shoulder, forced to dance the female steps.
But Mu Qingtong seemed to have found some fun, a strange curve forming at the corner of her lips. She completely ignored his gasps, her beautiful, swan-like slender neck held high, and continued to accelerate.
[Attacked by Spirit Artifact, do you want to copy the target Spirit Artifact?]
Xia Feng’s eyes widened as his mind grew hazy. Damn it, this was indeed Mu Qingtong’s Spirit Artifact ability!
“Copy, copy!”
[Copy failed—]
“?”
Well, his excitement was in vain. However, if the copy failed, there was only one possibility.
Mu Qingtong’s Spirit Artifact was also an Alpha-class!
His ‘Divine Realm No Stage’ was only in its initial awakening phase and could only copy S-grade at most.
However, it was reasonable. For a terrifying World-Ending Witch like Mu Qingtong, it would be embarrassing not to have an Alpha-class Spirit Artifact to call herself a major villain.
Under the warm yellow light, Mu Qingtong wantonly toyed with Xia Feng’s body. Seeing that Xia Feng could still maintain his consciousness, she was slightly surprised. Then, she calmly lowered her beautiful eyes and whispered into his ear, “Mr. Xia, would you like to beg for mercy? If you beg, I’ll let you go.”
Beg for mercy?
What a joke! Xia Feng panted, looking up feebly with a mocking telepathic message, “Miss Mu, I have to say, not only is your singing terrible, but your dance skills are also mediocre. If I were willing to learn, I could beat you in minutes!”
Faster!
“Mediocre.”
Faster still!
“Is that all?”
Swift as lightning—
[Knowing you were deliberately provoking her, Mu Qingtong still felt rare anger. She further improved her Sky-Treading Step in her dance, perfectly integrating her understanding of dance into it. Your understanding of the Spirit Robe increased, and you successfully mastered the C-class Spirit Robe ‘Thunder Sky Step’.]
Xia Feng: “?”
Is this how you learn a C-class Spirit Robe? This was the first C-class Spirit Robe he had officially and perfectly learned.
Indeed, Xia Feng had completely realized it. Mu Qingtong was actually a hidden masochist, wasn’t she? The more he belittled her, the more active her mind became, the easier she learned, and the more innovative she became.
Moreover, Mu Qingtong integrated her understanding of dance into the Thunder Sky Step, and Xia Feng naturally learned it as well.
Quietly, he found himself gradually regaining control of his body. The corners of his lips curved up. He retaliated, forcefully putting his arm around Mu Qingtong’s slender waist, and with lightning speed, switched to male steps, taking the initiative. Mu Qingtong’s slender, jade-like hands, wrapped in noble gauze, subconsciously reached for his broad back.
Their fingers intertwined, and the passionate notes danced joyfully between their steps. On the warm, smooth white tiles, slender high heels and steady white boots moved closer in the surging light, only to suddenly separate in a dim corner.
Xia Feng’s gaze was calm. He brought his thin lips to Mu Qingtong’s delicate earlobe and said with a tone full of teasing, “Is that, all?”
Mu Qingtong’s elegant eyebrows twitched, and her red lips pressed together. She hadn’t expected Xia Feng to be telling the truth and not just provocatively boasting; he could genuinely learn it in minutes.
All she could say was.
As expected of the opponent I, Mu Qingtong, have chosen! The madness flashed in her slightly curved golden eyes. Was this the thrill of finding a kindred spirit, an opponent, the meaning of life!
Her heart filled with joy.
As the dance steps gradually receded.
The music softened into a gentle and ethereal melody, intoxicatingly charming.
Amidst the thunderous applause of the crowd, the two bowed and walked towards Mushroom in the corner.
“Mu Shen! You’re amazing!” Mushroom’s eyes were full of admiration.
Mu Qingtong smiled and said softly, “Thank you.”
!
“Then what about me?” Xia Feng blinked.
“You?” Mushroom crossed her arms disdainfully. “You can’t even compare to a single finger of my Mu Shen!”
“Heh~”
Xia Feng tilted his head and earnestly warned Mu Qingtong, “Let me remind you again, she’s a lesbian with ulterior motives towards you.”
“Hmm, speaking of which, it’s quite strange that all three siblings of the Earl’s family like you,” Xia Feng mused, nodding thoughtfully.
Mu Qingtong: “.”
“Doudou, come here.” At that moment, Li Siwen’s deep voice came from the distance.
Mushroom quickly tugged at Xia Feng’s clothes, shrinking behind him, and mumbled, “He’s my older brother. He’s done all sorts of bad things and isn’t a good person.”
“It’s okay, we’re here, aren’t we?” Xia Feng patted her hand reassuringly as the three walked towards the center.
Mushroom’s real name was Li Hongdou. Doudou was her nickname. Because she strongly disliked the Earl’s family, she later changed her surname to Mo, her mother’s surname.
“Mother, Hongdou is here,” Li Siwen said respectfully, turning around.
The woman, dressed in a deep red evening gown, turned her head to look. She remained silent.
Mushroom was also silent.
Li Siwen said in a deep voice, “Doudou, we agreed that you would call her Mother after you came of age. Do you intend to go back on your word?”
Mushroom bit her lip and mumbled in a low voice, “My eighteenth birthday isn’t until the day after tomorrow.”
“What did you say?” Li Siwen frowned.
Mushroom flinched, hiding behind Xia Feng again. Every time her brother frowned, she remembered the despair of being cornered and slapped as a child.
“Your Highness, some things in this world cannot be forced, can they?” Xia Feng blocked Mushroom, saying calmly.
Li Siwen’s eyes narrowed, and after thinking about something, he smiled, the corner of his lips curling up.
“Indeed, Mr. Xia is very reasonable. Then, little sister, for your good friend’s sake, I won’t force you today.”
Just as they were talking, a guard approached respectfully and said:
“Mr. Xia, the Earl requests your presence.”
Uncle Wei had mentioned that the Earl would summon him tonight. Xia Feng nodded, pulled Mushroom to Mu Qingtong’s side, and said in a low voice, “Miss Mu, please keep an eye on her for me. Thank you for your trouble.”
Mu Qingtong glanced at the short mushroom beside her. Honestly, she didn’t want to bother with such a weak and useless ant. But for Xia Feng’s sake, it wasn’t impossible to put on an act.
“Mhm.” She nodded gently.
