Chapter 84: The Master’s Word is Absolute
“My Princess Consort, do you recognize this King?”
The Earl stood before the woman in an expensive deep red tailcoat, hands clasped behind his back, a playful smile of self-proclaimed charm on his lips.
Yue Hongli’s gaze shifted back, she blinked and thought for a moment before nodding, “I recognize you, you’re Lister. According to the relational definitions in social anthropology, you are my husband.”
“That’s right,” the Earl smiled, but a doubt arose in his heart. It had been so long, why hadn’t he sensed any sign of her pledging allegiance?
“So, husband, do you know where my Master is?” the woman in the phoenix dress asked, confused.
The Earl: “?”
“Wh-What?” His expression faltered slightly, and he didn’t react for a moment. “Am I not your Master?”
“Husband is husband, Master is Master.” Yue Hongli shook her head. Just then, a calm voice sounded from behind her.
“I am here.”
Yue Hongli turned around.
The Earl looked up, his lips curling into a smile. “Boy, what are you trying to pull—”
“Master~” Yue Hongli’s rose-red eyes brightened, the asterisk symbol on her brow flashed and disappeared. She instantly felt the soul connection with Xia Feng.
“Dream,” the Earl muttered the last word, watching this scene in astonishment. Didn’t the Princess Consort just call out ‘Master’? Was she addressing Xia Feng?
“Impossible.”
“Absolutely impossible!” The Earl suppressed the fear in his heart, believing there must be some mistake.
As Xia Feng and Yue Hongli met gazes, a connection formed between their black and red eyes, and information simultaneously appeared in their minds.
[*Contract Established*]
[Gui Hua Calamity Contract]
[Pledge of Allegiance Status: Pledged]
[First Master: Heng]
[Second Master: Xia Feng]
[Divine Authority: Ill-fortune Heavenly Bestowment (Sealed)]
[Calamity Contract Form: Gui Dao (the blade)]
Yue Hongli blinked her eyes and walked towards Xia Feng.
“What are you doing!” The Earl was stunned and quickly reached out to grab the woman in the phoenix dress.
However, by coincidence, just as his outstretched palm was about to touch her arm, the control panel malfunctioned and emitted a chaotic crackling current. Like electric snakes, it directly struck his palm.
“Ah!!” The Earl cried out in pain and quickly withdrew his hand.
The woman in the phoenix dress continued to walk unhurriedly, arriving in front of Xia Feng. Her rose-colored pupils inquired, “Are you my new Master?”
“…You could say that.”
To be honest, Xia Feng was very uncomfortable being called Master, especially since the Princess Consort’s voice had a charming, bone-deep allure that made his neck tingle with goosebumps.
It was truly terrifying. For the first time, Xia Feng had a profound understanding of the term “vixen.”
“Are you crazy!” The Earl’s lips trembled. He said in an angry, deep voice, “Yue Hongli! I am your Master! What in the world are you doing!”
Yue Hongli turned her head, tilting it in confusion. “Aren’t you my husband?”
The Earl’s jaw dropped. He said in a cold, enraged voice, “You still know I’m your husband! Then hurry up and come here!”
Yue Hongli looked at Xia Feng. “Cough~” Xia Feng blinked. “No need to pay attention to him.”
“Xia Feng, you bastard! I will kill you!”
The Earl’s powerful voice roared like a lion. He was enveloped in a fiery spirit robe that turned from purple to black. He turned his head, glaring at Yue Hongli with cold fury. “My Princess Consort, I command you, come here!!”
Yue Hongli shook her head, her exquisite little face serious. “Although in terms of social relations, you are my husband, the Master’s word is absolute!”
The Earl: “!!!”
“The Master’s word is absolute?!” The crisp voice echoed in the Earl’s mind. He felt an inexplicable sense of being cuckolded.
What the hell was going on! He couldn’t understand, his heart filled with a million questions!
The Earl was absolutely certain that he hadn’t made any mistakes in any of his steps. When the Princess Consort opened her eyes, her gaze was only on him. But in the end, why did she fail to pledge allegiance!
Not only did she fail, but she inexplicably pledged allegiance to Xia Feng?!
Where did it go wrong?
The more he thought about it, the more his mind exploded. His eyes were bloodshot as he stared intently at the man and woman in the distance, his voice hoarse. “Boy, what exactly did you do to my Princess Consort?!”
Hearing the Earl’s angry roar, Xia Feng stated that he was also innocent, shrugging. “I don’t know~”
Seeing Xia Feng still playing dumb, the Earl felt that the boy was definitely mocking him. His cold eyes narrowed sinisterly. “Very well! Boy, you have successfully angered this King!”
Xia Feng ignored him, quickly sorting through the information brought by the Princess Consort. Her true form seemed to be transformable into a blade, and the information contained was very complex and chaotic, making it difficult to sort through.
However, he soon extracted a few key points from the sea of information.
!
[Calamity Contract Form: Gui Dao (the blade)]
[Gui Fortune: Infuse Calamity Force into the blade. When dealing damage to a target, you can bestow negative fortune upon them. The more Calamity Force infused, the stronger the negative fortune.]
[Gui Domain: When the Calamity Force reaches its peak of ‘1 year,’ the Gui Domain can be released, bestowing equal negative fortune upon all living beings within a radius of thirty meters.]
[Gui Calamity: *To be unlocked*]
[Divine Authority: Ill-fortune Heavenly Bestowment (Sealed)]
[Status: Abnormal (Incomplete soul, lacking memory and common sense)]
[Note: Infusing Calamity Force into the blade requires the holder to actively absorb external Calamity Force. If the absorption concentration is too high, it may lead to a loss of reason or even death. Please use this blade with caution!]
Yue Hongli found it very strange. Not only did she have the aura of the Nightmare Clan on her, but also… the authority of a Star God?
This divine authority should refer to the Star God’s authority, Xia Feng wondered with surprise and uncertainty, what kind of ghost thing had he contracted?
This woman was also a Star God?!
Furthermore, Yue Hongli’s abilities were also outrageous, involving something as mystical as fortune.
Xia Feng felt a sense of dazed surprise and joy, as if he had been walking aimlessly and inexplicably stumbled upon a divine artifact.
No wonder the Earl attached so much importance to the Princess Consort.
No, that wasn’t right. The Earl probably didn’t know Yue Hongli’s specific abilities.
Xia Feng couldn’t help but recall the obsessive look in the Earl’s eyes as he gazed at the Princess Consort. He immediately understood that the Earl was likely simply attracted by her beauty and fell in love with Yue Hongli. As for her potential causality-related abilities, they were just a bonus.
Seeing that Xia Feng completely ignored him and acted with utter disdain, the Earl sneered with a dark expression:
“Boy, you think you can deal with me with the Princess Consort’s help?”
As he spoke, he took out a syringe and injected it directly into his arm. The gray-black liquid flowed into his body, like a gray serpentine line writhing beneath his skin, traveling up his arm and into his brain.
Instantly, the Earl’s eyeballs bulged red, and countless blood vessels spread across the whites of his eyes, extending down his cheeks and towards his neck.
At the same time, his aura and spirit pressure surged, reaching the peak of the third stage in an instant, with a hint of breaking through.
Xia Feng’s black eyes narrowed, sensing a dangerous aura.
Feeling the sudden surge of power and spirit pressure throughout his body, the Earl grinned and looked coldly at Xia Feng.
Although he didn’t know the specific abilities of the Princess Consort, he understood a fundamental principle: if one’s own strength is insufficient to control a powerful ability, attempting to use it forcefully will inevitably come at a price.
Therefore, if the Princess Consort’s ability was truly powerful, Xia Feng would definitely have to pay a heavy price to use it!
He was confident of this!
