Chapter 82: She Couldn’t Tell
Xia Feng’s heart trembled, and he subconsciously turned his head to glance at the Woman in Red Dress standing barefoot before the Glass Coffin.
The woman’s foot lifted slightly, as if wanting to approach the Glass Coffin, but she ultimately set it down.
“Clack-clack—”
Just then, the cabin began to ascend. Inside the cabin, Mushroom’s eye sockets turned red as she twisted and struggled left and right, but her limbs and neck were cuffed in a large ‘X’ shape by alloy restraints, making escape impossible.
“Lister! You bastard!!”
The girl’s angry curse came from within the cabin. Lister smiled and glanced at Xia Feng, who was not far away. “The result is the same anyway, kid. Why don’t you try to persuade my daughter to recognize the Princess Consort directly? Then maybe I can spare your life.”
As he spoke casually, he brought his right hand above a red button, about to press it, when he heard Xia Feng suddenly speak:
“Okay.”
“?” Lister paused in motion, looking at the youth not far away in confusion.
Xia Feng’s expression was serious. “Lord Earl, I think what you said is very reasonable. Then I will persuade Mushroom.”
“.”
Lister was startled, then his lips pulled into a grin. He probably understood that this young man, seeing that he couldn’t kill him, was now afraid. He was afraid of Lister pursuing and settling scores afterward, so he was now quickly trying to appease him and change his attitude.
But would it work?
No!
What utter stupidity~ Lister’s lips hooked up, and he said with a light smile:
“It seems you understand the principle that The wise know when to act and when to refrain. Don’t worry, I am a magnanimous person. I can let you off after this is done.”
So it was, Lord Earl is such a broad-minded person. I believe he won’t blame me for becoming the Master of his wife~~ Xia Feng mused inwardly.
[Linkage: 99.9999% — Abnormal state, linkage cannot be completed as they have not yet been born.]
Now, only the last step remained: getting Mushroom to recognize her mother!
This was an easy matter for him.
Xia Feng turned his head to look at Mushroom in the cabin and smiled. “Mushroom, recognize the Princess Consort as your mother.”
“Huh?” Mushroom was a bit confused. Didn’t they agree that the birth ritual absolutely could not be completed?
“Trust me, I have a way to deal with the Earl,” Xia Feng said, moving closer to the Boundless Field and using close-range telepathy to speak into Mushroom’s mind.
Mushroom’s eyes widened, then her face was filled with suspicion.
Xia Feng’s voice continued in her mind, “For some unknown reason, the Princess Consort has already recognized me as her Master. Now all that’s needed is your recognition, which will allow the Princess Consort to be born and establish a contract with me. Everything the Earl is doing will be in vain.”
“.” Mushroom parted her lips slightly, lowered her head, and looked curiously at the devices on her body. Then she looked up at the button in the Earl’s hand. The Earl hadn’t pressed the button.
So she wasn’t in a dream?
Xia Feng looked on expectantly. Although he and Mushroom had only known each other for a few years, they knew each other inside and out and trusted each other completely. Therefore, he believed Mushroom would trust him~
Mushroom was silent for a moment, frowned, and snorted, “I won’t.”
Xia Feng: “.” “Don’t think I don’t know, I’ve actually entered the True Dream realm long ago!” Mushroom raised her cute little face, her eyes twinkling with intelligence, and said with a cold laugh, “Still trying to disguise yourself as Xia Feng to trick me? Let me tell you, no way!”
Xia Feng: “.”
Xia Feng and the Earl exchanged a look. The Earl grinned and said, “Kid, it seems my daughter doesn’t trust you very much either. Then there’s no other way, we’ll use my method.”
Saying that, he was about to press the button again. Xia Feng said helplessly, “Wait a moment, Lord Earl. There’s really no need to be so hasty. Give me another minute.”
It would take several hours to make Mushroom willing to recognize her mother through the True Dream, and Xia Feng’s Third-stage state could only last for half an hour. He didn’t have time to waste here with the Earl.
After thinking for a moment, he looked at Mushroom and said earnestly through telepathy, “Mushroom, you’re a lesbian. Your favorite anime is ‘Citrus’, your favorite 2D character is named ‘Yuzu Aihara’, your favorite color is green. You love Big Bear bitter tea and Blue Cat underwear. You’re 155 cm tall, weigh between 47 to 48 kg, your waist is 61 cm, your hips are 82 cm, and your bust…”
As Xia Feng spoke, Mushroom’s eyes widened, her little face visibly flushed red, and steam seemed to rise from her. She glared angrily,
“Shut, shut up!!”
Xia Feng immediately fell silent, ultimately not mentioning Mushroom’s bust measurement. Mushroom was always nonchalant at home and didn’t guard against him at all, throwing her clothes and underwear around. His eyes were like a measuring tape, making it difficult not to know Mushroom’s measurements.
!
Mushroom’s face quickly returned to normal. She narrowed her eyes, pursed her lips, and said, “So what if you know these things about me.”
She looked around the cabin thoughtfully. “This dream realm must have extracted my memories, even my memories of Xia Feng. That’s why you can imitate Xia Feng’s tone and mannerisms so well! Because you are the Xia Feng in my memory, not only a pervert but also shameless.”
I really owe you one, Mushroom!
Xia Feng felt his fists clench. “Very well, it seems I have to get a bit more explosive!”
Xia Feng raised his chin and looked down, sneeringly transmitting, “Mushroom! In the far-right corner under your bed, there’s a hidden pull-down door. Inside is a green box containing a bunch of toys, a single-head dragon, a vibrating egg, a…”
Xia Feng’s words grew more explosive. Mushroom’s little face burned red, the crimson spreading from her cheeks to the roots of her ears. She tightly shut her eyes and kept murmuring,
“La la la, I’m not listening, I’m not listening… It’s all fake, it’s all fake, it’s all fake…”
She had hidden those treasures so well. How could Xia Feng possibly find them? He definitely wouldn’t know! Yes, it must have been extracted from her memories again, so the Xia Feng in the dream knew about it! It had to be!
So, I haven’t been publicly shamed! Thinking this, she suddenly felt like it wasn’t a big deal. After all, dying in a dream isn’t real death~
“Last time you asked me to help find the key, so I peeked under the bed to see if it had fallen. And guess what~ You forgot to lock the hidden pull-down door, and the box inside was also open. Tsk… So don’t blame me.”
Xia Feng’s words were like the devil’s whispers echoing in her heart. Even the sound of his low laugh could drive someone crazy and make them want to die. Mushroom gritted her teeth, her eyes tightly shut, wishing this damned dream would end quickly!
Seeing that the idiot wasn’t paying him any attention, Xia Feng sighed in helplessness.
He never expected that the biggest obstacle would come from this idiotic teammate! However, he could understand. After all, if it were him, putting himself in her shoes, he wouldn’t believe that someone could inexplicably gain recognition from the Princess Consort. It was simply a Fantasy.
And with a device like the True Dream nearby, it was hard not to suspect that they had already entered the dream.
