Chapter 509: Pathological
Xia Feng froze in place. The two large mounds of the woman in the green dress pressed against his ears, sealing off all outside sounds. Xia Feng’s head buzzed. This was truly unexpected. He knew Jiang Qiue would catch up to him quickly, but this was too fast.
However, Xia Feng had witnessed the powerful effect of this green-haired fox’s words manifesting reality. She had only said, “I will stand five centimeters behind Ye Li Kong,” and she appeared directly behind him! If Jiang Qiue had said, “I will return to the Divine Realm in 3 seconds,” would it also come true? Well, perhaps not that outrageously. Besides, the Old Dragon King had mentioned that the Nine-Tails paid a price for using their authority, and the greater the impact on reality, the greater the price. This was quite similar to Miss Mu’s Fate Stone. However, wishes made with the Fate Stone directly obtained a certain material. Jiang Qiue’s words manifesting reality probably couldn’t obtain materials, but could only change her current state. For example, changing her current position. Xia Feng speculated that the greatest effect of words manifesting reality should be that one wouldn’t have to laboriously inscribe talismans but could directly speak a word to achieve it. For instance, saying the word “escape” would make one disappear from their spot.
“What.” The two large, stifling mounds moved apart, and the woman lowered her head, her ethereal voice whispering near his ear, “Not running anymore?” As she spoke, Xia Feng personally saw two talismans appear from the woman’s slender fingertips, with the words “stealth” and “strengthen” radiating from them. The two of them concealed their figures and disappeared.
“…” Xia Feng shook his head, glancing sideways at the bulging green fabric on his right cheek. His gaze followed the fabric upwards to her delicate jaw, her lightly pursed red lips, and her cold, ethereal beautiful eyes that looked down at him. Xia Feng blinked in confusion, then suddenly understood: “Saintess, you used words manifesting reality to make yourself bigger, didn’t you?” He lowered his gaze again, looking at the rising green peaks before him. “I knew it. You almost suffocated me.”
Jiang Qiue: “…”
“Saintess, I’m not saying this to be mean, but it’s not good to fake it like this. What’s the difference between this and plastic surgery?” Xia Feng shook his head and sighed.
“!!!” Jiang Qiue took a deep breath. “I didn’t.”
“You didn’t?”
“I didn’t!”
“I don’t believe you.”
“…” Jiang Qiue felt her ear roots inexplicably burning, but she quickly realized this scoundrel was teasing her again. Her expression immediately turned cold, she frowned, and raised her hand to pinch and lift Xia Feng’s jaw, forcing his cute face to completely look up at her. “You dare to tease me at a time like this? I don’t know whether to call you stupid or fearless.”
Xia Feng was forced to turn, his waist held by the woman in the green dress, his feet completely off the ground, unable to move. But this wasn’t the point. The point was that he suddenly realized a strange, sweet scent vaguely tickling his nostrils. This scent made his throat move, his mouth dry, and his heart itch.
At the same time, a piece of information surged into his mind, causing him to pause slightly.
[Honey absorption has reached the standard, you have been cursed by the Queen Bee.]
[Queen Bee’s Curse]
—Curse: As a bee, you must absorb sufficient honey every day from now on, otherwise you will suffer from an unbearable soul itch curse.
—Honey Addiction: As a bee, you will gradually develop a physiological obsession with the Queen Bee’s bodily scent, increasingly yearning to sink into the Queen Bee’s embrace. At the same time, when you smell the Queen Bee’s scent, your body movements will become sluggish and difficult to move.
—Lock of Loyalty: {This ability can only be triggered after absorbing double the amount of honey}. Once triggered, the Queen Bee can freely control the bee’s body, and any thoughts that are detrimental to the Queen Bee will also trigger the curse.
After receiving this information, Xia Feng couldn’t help but be a little surprised. He had long suspected this woman was plotting something, but he hadn’t expected her to be waiting for him like this. Xia Feng also quickly understood some things. No wonder this fox wanted him to accompany her to the snowfield. She probably knew there was some crisis there and used the excuse of dealing with the crisis to make him willingly absorb a large amount of her honey, thus triggering the curse. And to harm him, this woman spared no expense, even using her own body as poison. Truly terrifying. Xia Feng muttered to himself with a cold laugh, but fortunately, I was also prepared!
On the snowfield, he did absorb a large amount of honey, but Jiang Qiue also absorbed a large amount of his dragon blood. Jiang Qiue’s dragon blood had reached the standard, and now she only needed to learn the Blood Spirit Construct to counter this stinky fox. And the Blood Spirit Construct… Xia Feng already knew where this A-class spirit paper was.
The giant furnace that Ye Li Kong and Justice Holy Son were surrounding in the distance had a golden spirit paper floating above it. Judging by its appearance, it was A-class. Miss Mu was currently hiding in secret and had not left this place, so this A-class one above the furnace was very likely the Blood Spirit Construct! The synchronized information stated that Ye Li Kong and Justice Holy Son were fighting over the “Holy Box” containing clues to the Saint’s remains. Looking at the current scene, with these two fighting around the giant blood furnace, it was very likely that the Holy Box was hidden within the blood furnace. In that case, his and Miss Mu’s objectives, and those of these geniuses, had some overlap. The giant blood furnace floating in the center of the void was the key.
Xia Feng frowned. However, the problem now was how to deal with this troublesome and impudent green-haired fox. Noticing Xia Feng’s unusual expression, Jiang Qiue’s cold, serious expression also changed.
“It seems you’ve sensed it.” She pursed her lips and leaned close to Xia Feng’s ear. Her ethereal eyes lowered slightly, her expression calm and indifferent, but a subtle, filthy ripple stirred in the dark depths of her heart. She was anticipating, anticipating her enemy’s pleas for mercy.
“Sensed what?” Xia Feng, however, tilted his cute little face towards her ear. “Sensed your darkness? Or sensed the… foxy musk emanating from your whole body?”
“…!!!” Not hearing the sound of begging for mercy she wanted to hear, the derogatory words stunned Jiang Qiue. Her ethereal pupils, devoid of any emotion, widened slightly, and anger began to brew. Jiang Qiue didn’t understand why, despite having the upper hand, her emotions were so easily swayed by this enemy. Before her heavenly rage could ignite, Xia Feng glanced at her chest again, sniffed with his nose, then deliberately showed disdain in his raised black eyes. His thin lips moved, and though silent, his mouth shape clearly formed three words: “Foxy. Bitch.”
Those three words were like shattered glass.
“————” Jiang Qiue’s mind went blank. She wanted to sternly reprimand Xia Feng for his rude words. But the rapidly rising anger, coupled with the bitterness, shame, and various obscure, difficult-to-understand dark emotions in her heart, momentarily cleared her buzzing mind. The world fell silent. She slowly reached out and pressed behind Xia Feng’s black hair. Her slender eyelids lowered. Xia Feng’s lips still curved in an arrogant smile, but as her delicate hand suddenly tightened, his bothersome face was buried deep into her embrace, hidden in the abyss.
“Foxy bitch! Let go!”
“Are you trying to suffocate me!”
Jiang Qiue felt Xia Feng’s muffled struggling in her embrace. Her soft hands pushed against her shoulders and cheeks. She tilted her slender neck, narrowed her beautiful eyes, and a pathological blush appeared on her cold, beautiful face.
