Chapter 86: Master, I’m Not Stupid
“This kid even patted his chest and guaranteed it! Said he absolutely wouldn’t let the birth ritual succeed, what a damn guarantee!”
Bailong grumbled.
“Bailong, that’s enough!” Xuanwu Bureau Chief frowned and reprimanded, “Now is not the time for blame and complaints. The priority is to check the situation at the scene and see if Xia Feng is still alive!”
The semi-transparent Xuanwu Domain silently dispersed.
“Let’s go!”
About twenty people from the Holy Department soared towards Pingshan Hospital, but Zhao Jie and the dead apostles of the God’s Calamity Society also took to the air, blocking their path.
Zhao Jie grinned, “Lord Xuanwu, is this a place you can come and go as you please?”
Even though he didn’t know the specific situation at Pingshan Hospital, it was always right to buy some time for Lord Earl.
“Stop them!” He waved his hand, and the twenty or so black-robed figures behind him charged towards the people from the Holy Department.
“Damn it!”
“Break through!”
The expressions of the Holy Department members sank slightly, and they were once again caught in a chaotic battle with the Earl’s subordinates, the battlefield slowly shifting towards Pingshan Hospital.

“Dead?”
Mushroom trembled and retracted her hand, her calm gaze a little lost.
Xia Feng glanced at the corpse with unclosed eyes and nodded, “Dead.”
“So, this is what revenge feels like.”
“It feels so good,” Mushroom lowered her head, looking at her blood-stained little hands. She didn’t feel any fear of killing, but rather a sense of release and relief.
Her mother was strangled to death by the Earl. Now that she had ended the Earl’s life with a single sword, her great revenge was complete.
Her mind went into a trance for a moment, her body went limp, and she fell into Xia Feng’s arms, falling unconscious.
Xia Feng supported Mushroom and looked at the Princess Consort, who had reshaped beside them, “You hold her.”
The Woman in Phoenix Dress was extraordinarily beautiful, but her expression remained indifferent. She tilted her head as if trying to understand Xia Feng’s words, then nodded seriously, “Yes, Master.”
With that, she knelt behind Xia Feng, opened her jade-white arms, passed them under Xia Feng’s armpits, and gently embraced him.
“???” The warm breath lingered by his ear. Xia Feng’s spine stiffened, his pupils widened, and he shrunk his neck. “Are you an idiot? I told you to hold Mushroom. Get up, get up!”
The Princess Consort stood up, her tone serious, “Master, I’m not stupid.”
“…” Xia Feng looked at this foolish woman thoughtfully, as if he had thought of something, and said, “When I call you an idiot, you should proudly admit that you are indeed an idiot.”
“Yes, Master, I am an idiot!” The Princess Consort immediately raised her beautiful chin and put her hands on her hips proudly. However, her tone remained indifferent, devoid of emotion.
Xia Feng: “…”
Very well, confirmed, you are an idiot! Xia Feng picked up Mushroom, “Hold her, princess carry.”
The Woman in Phoenix Dress took her and perfectly executed the order.
Xia Feng walked to the Earl’s side and stepped on his shadow. The Bloodworm silently moved along the shadow path onto the corpse, invading the soul.
Soon, the Earl’s corpse turned into a blood mist and merged into the shadow.
Xia Feng then went to his own corpse and released the Bloodworm. After handling it, he raised his hand, and the Forest Scepter in his hand waved gently, and a wooden soldier emerged from the ground.
He put a black robe on the wooden soldier and gave it a Bronze Mask.
“Very good, perfect,” Xia Feng rubbed his chin and nodded with satisfaction. Now, he just had to wait for the people from the Holy Department to arrive.
However, after seeing the Princess Consort holding Mushroom and standing silently beside him, he became a little worried and frowned, “Don’t speak next. You can only speak when I tell you to.”
The woman blinked.
“Did you hear me?”
She continued to blink.
“…”
Rumble—
The ground shook, and fierce fighting sounds approached. The wooden soldier beside Xia Feng stamped its foot and flew away in the Opposite direction.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh—
Dozens of flowing lights streaked through the air, accompanied by Zhao Jie’s shout, “Lord Earl! Quickly return to the Boundless Field!”
!
Xia Feng turned his head and met the eyes of the flying Zhao Jie. He grinned, “Uncle Zhao, how have you been~”
Zhao Jie immediately stopped and landed on the broken wall.
Following close behind were the people from the Holy Department and the Earl’s subordinates.
“Xia—Feng? Heh~ You’re quite lucky to still be alive.” Bailong raised an eyebrow, looked around, and said coldly, “Where is Lister? I knew you were unreliable, letting that old guy get the Princess Consort, I—”
“He’s dead.”
“…Kid, now is not the time for you to joke—” Bailong’s eyes narrowed, but Chen Xingdao patted his shoulder. He turned his head and realized everyone was staring intently into the distance.
Turning back, he saw a Black-robed Person wearing a Spade Mask standing on a treetop, quietly watching them. After the Spade Mask looked around, his figure silently dissipated and disappeared.
Xia Feng silently withdrew his ability. Seeing everyone looking at him, he smiled:
“I know what you want to ask. Yes, it’s what you’re thinking. The Spade Person saw injustice and drew his sword to help, killing the Earl and leaving no bones behind. His methods were extremely cruel!”
Everyone looked at each other, not suspecting Xia Feng’s words too much. However, they never expected the Earl to die in such a way, and they were momentarily bewildered.
“Then what’s going on with her?” Following Chen Xingdao’s question, everyone looked at the Princess Consort.
Yue Hongli had a charming little face, but her serious expression was very indifferent. Seeing everyone looking, she still had no expression.
“The Earl wanted to kill Mushroom, so I quickly persuaded Mushroom to recognize a mother.” Xia Feng spread his hands. “Then the Spade Person suddenly appeared, and I took the opportunity to accidentally become the Princess Consort’s master.”
“Oh, and the Spade Person also said that he saw my outstanding talent and that I had the potential to be an Emperor. He wanted me to join their organization, but I Righteous and eloquently refused! This matter…”
Everyone automatically ignored Xia Feng’s final rambling and instead looked at the Princess Consort with astonished expressions, then looked at Xia Feng.
Bailong’s expression was suspicious, “You became the Princess Consort’s master? Are you kidding me?”
Xia Feng put his arm around the Princess Consort’s slender waist. The woman blinked her beautiful eyes and remained motionless.
Everyone: “…”
Bailong opened his mouth, the words of doubt stuck in his throat. The birth ritual had indeed failed to be prevented, but the Earl was dead, and whether the birth ritual succeeded or failed no longer mattered.
And the fact that Xia Feng had become the Princess Consort’s master was something no one had expected.
Everyone inexplicably felt a strange feeling in their hearts. After all, although the Earl was dead, the Princess Consort was still the Princess Consort of the Hydrangea Family, and her status was extremely high.
Xia Feng, however, had become the Princess Consort’s master.
