Chapter 283: Divine Object
biu~biu~
Xia Feng covered his face again, but the next moment, his wrist was forcefully pulled apart and pinned down by the silver-haired witch. Her cool, elegant face loomed over him, her golden eyes filled with undisguised amusement and teasing.
Xia Feng’s expression stiffened, and the two simply faced each other in silence.
biu~~~
“Tsk~” Mu Qingtong’s lips curved upwards.
She hadn’t said anything, yet that light laugh felt like an invisible hand, gripping Xia Feng’s heart. He struggled to breathe, his mind a complete blank—
He couldn’t even imagine how unbearable the situation below him would be.
“Mr. Xia, why aren’t you laughing anymore? Are you naturally not a smiley person?”
Her soft voice questioned, Mu Qingtong’s stunning face above him was so dazzling. Xia Feng’s vacant, despairing eyes gradually focused, a terrible anger building and rising within him.
“Mu Qingtong!!”
Seeing Mr. Xia glare at her with a face full of anger and humiliation, Mu Qingtong’s expression remained calm, unmoved, even showing a hint of excitement!
“Mr. Xia, I can give you another chance.”
The silver-haired woman’s eyes curved into crescent moons again, but her voice was a cold command, “Beg me.”
“.” Xia Feng’s breathing quickened. He knew that if he just surrendered now, this witch would be satisfied and let him go. But this was no longer a usual petty squabble; today was a battle for dignity!
“Mu Qingtong, you just wait! You just wait for me!!”
Xia Feng fiercely spat out threats, gritting his teeth and glaring, “This humiliation today, I, Xia, will repay you a hundredfold in the future!”
biu~biu~
Xia Feng: “.”
“Tsk tsk~” Mu Qingtong sneered coldly, her jade nose twitched, and then her delicate eyebrows furrowed in slight disgust.
They furrowed tighter and tighter.
Although she had punished Mr. Xia, it also meant that she had been contaminated with some unpleasant things. She shifted her hips slightly, feeling a bit uncomfortable.
“.You—” Xia Feng parted his lips, his heart leaping into his throat. He said hoarsely in alarm, “Don’t move around…”
It was too late.
A moment later, Mu Qingtong also fell silent: “.”
After a long while.
Mu Qingtong glanced at Xia Feng and commented in a low voice, “Your reaction is much bigger than before. Are you enjoying this?”
Xia Feng’s face flushed red, his head buzzing. He was going to go crazy, his molars were about to be ground to dust. “Mu Qingtong! You’d better not give me a chance!!”
He decided that sooner or later he would get revenge, and he would make this World-Ending Witch wet again and again! Soaking wet!
Soaking wet until she was making the face of someone white-eyed and tongue-lolling!
Mu Qingtong narrowed her beautiful eyes. Seeing Mr. Xia’s furious expression, she naturally guessed what evil thoughts were running through this guy’s mind.
But she didn’t care. After all, she was Mu Qingtong. She wouldn’t let this idiot Mr. Xia take advantage of her.
If he wanted to embarrass Mu Qingtong, this idiot would probably only be able to think about it in his dreams.
“Mr. Xia, this is your last chance.”
Mu Qingtong: “As long as you remove the pheromone mark on my abdomen, I’ll let you go, how about that?”
The rose-red maple leaf mark below her navel made her very unhappy, and she had to find a way to get rid of it.
Xia Feng panted, smiling. “Heh heh~ Beg me.”
“You refuse a toast only to be forced to drink a forfeit.” Mu Qingtong’s beautiful eyes were calm and waveless. She leaned down again, their eyes meeting.
Xia Feng clenched his fists, desperately trying to maintain his composure. In his heart, he suddenly felt a little regret. He parted his lips, about to say something—
“Mu”
But in the next instant, his hell began!
*
Half an hour later.
Xia Feng’s black eyes were dull and vacant, looking up at the ceiling with no will to live.
The black-dressed woman sat on his waist, holding several glass test tubes in her slender hands. She sealed the test tubes with a sealer, trapping the smell she disliked, and then threw all fifty or so test tubes into her storage space.
“You… You’re poisonous, aren’t you?” Xia Feng’s sanity was somewhat shattered as he murmured, “What are you collecting these things for?”
“I remember there’s a kind of spirit robe that requires the essence of an adult male.”
The black-dressed woman’s beautiful eyes were indifferent. “I’ve always wanted to collect it, but I haven’t found a suitable candidate. Now, Mr. Xia, you’re perfect.”
“I’ll have to trouble Mr. Xia to work a bit harder for the next few days,” she said, a light smile playing on her lips.
“.” Looking at her gentle smile, Xia Feng’s emotions intensified. Fine, just you wait, you little World-Ending Witch, your reign of terror won’t last long! “Alright, since Mr. Xia is unwilling to beg for mercy, let’s continue.”
Mu Qingtong was about to use her rule power again. Xia Feng quickly pressed her shoulders, his tone softening helplessly, “Stop, stop! Miss Mu, can we take a break for a while? I have something to do later.”
The start time for the Life Roulette space was approaching again.
Since the initial sacrifice stage began, the interval between Life Roulette activations had expanded to two months.
Now that two months had passed, it was almost time.
He had accumulated a large amount of Life Points that he hadn’t spent, and he planned to enter the Life space for a major shopping spree, probably buying a lot of good things.
“Miss Mu, this time I want to bring you into the Life Roulette with me. I need you to help me with something.”
Mu Qingtong paused, her gaze indifferent. “But Mr. Xia, with our current hostile emotions, isn’t our relationship not good?”
“Then how about we…” Xia Feng hesitated, “Save our progress?”
The black-dressed woman blinked and nodded. “That works too.”
!
As they spoke, both of them closed their eyes simultaneously.
[Beep—Save successful· Argument no. 1]
As if their memories were temporarily sealed, the resentful confrontation from just now hadn’t happened. Mu Qingtong asked softly, full of curiosity, “You can let me enter the Life Roulette too?”
“Of course. Don’t you know who I am?” Xia Feng smiled confidently.
He now possessed three accounts.
Player 14: 120 Life Points
Player 17: 35 points
Player 3: 146 points. Player 3 was snatched from Archbishop Aus in the garden and was the most valuable.
Xia Feng moved the teleportation markers of Player 14 and Player 17 to Mu Qingtong and Yue Hongli respectively. Not long after, the sensation of teleportation struck.
He appeared on the Level 3 high pedestal and glanced at the leaderboard.
In the past two months, two more people had completed the initial sacrifice.
[Initial Sacrifice Stage: Sacrifice 9900 Lost People to obtain a reward of 100 Life Points]
[Lost People: People who have lost hope of living, lost basic emotional reactions, no longer hate, no longer love, allowing themselves to be manipulated, like machines]
[Sacrifice Ranking—
Player 27: 10031 people (met the standard of 9900)
Player 3: 9929 people (met the standard of 9900)
Player 2: 9900 people (met the standard of 9900)
Player 34: 3999 people (met the standard of 3300)
]
Excluding Archbishop Aus from Player 3, who had been replaced by Xia Feng, Players 27 and 2 had newly completed the sacrifice standard of 9900.
This also meant that nearly twenty thousand more innocent people had died.
One couldn’t help but wonder what the creator behind the Life Roulette was trying to achieve by creating such a thing, specifically incentivizing players to sacrifice souls that met specific conditions. It was very strange.
“Heh heh~ Ladies and gentlemen, welcome back. Thank you for your hard work over the past two months.”
A man wearing a dark-red symbol mask and a black suit stood in the spotlight with his arms spread wide. He smiled lightly and said, “The initial sacrifice stage has officially ended. We are now entering the advanced sacrifice stage—”
“Please check your panel information.”
Everyone was not surprised. Since there was an initial stage, there would naturally be an advanced stage. It was likely just a difference in sacrifice conditions and numbers.
Xia Feng curiously clicked on the light screen in the center of the stone platform.
[Advanced Sacrifice Stage: Sacrifice 99000 Hopeful People to obtain a reward of 1000 Life Points; Sacrifice 33000 Hopeful People to obtain a reward of 300 Life Points.]
[Special Reward: Top rank on the sacrifice leaderboard will receive the Origin Godly Object ‘Origin Soil’ as an additional reward.]
