Chapter 990. Golden Sparrow Flower Tribe? No, Lapdog Tribe!
The moment [Hua] appeared, this world seemed to fall silent, and all living beings couldn’t help but be drawn to her.
Even Xia Feng and Kikyō Sayame were no exception. Their gazes were fixed on the phoenix dress woman’s face, and feelings of reverence and adoration spontaneously arose in their hearts.
Xia Feng found himself suddenly having a strange desire to be Hua Shen’s lapdog, as if the woman in the phoenix dress merely pointed and asked him to fetch a bone, he would eagerly obey, wanting to dedicate his body, mind, and everything to this woman whose temperament alone could overturn cities and topple kingdoms.
This heaven-defying thought flashed and disappeared instantly.
Unlike Xia Feng,
On the ground, the three thousand Golden Sparrow tribesmen, and even the Twelve Seats, looked up, their hearts skipping a beat. Just seeing their Mother’s face, they felt their bodies tremble with excitement, a desire to immediately obey their Mother’s command – a desire so strong that they would happily bark like dogs if asked.
However, in an instant, they realized how disrespectful it was to look directly at their Mother, and unease and fear made them quickly lower their heads, not daring to look further, lest they blaspheme the gods.
Even on the Twelve Pillar Seats, Corvis, Ke Zelek, Lei Chonghua, and even Bai Shou Xian, the twelve of them, were shocked and terrified, quickly transitioning from kneeling on one knee to prostrating on both knees, their bodies trembling.
This wasn’t fear, but excitement.
They felt excited and honored to be able to kneel before the woman in the phoenix dress.
Among them, even the Twelve Seats rarely had the chance to see their Mother, let alone see their Mother’s true form appear in person.
In most cases, Mother would not appear for hundreds or even thousands of years. If necessary, she would only temporarily inhabit the body of the maid-in-waiting, Hezi, to walk the world.
Therefore, being able to witness their Mother’s true form descend today was a moment of supreme honor that would be remembered for a lifetime!
“Mother,” they said respectfully in unison, their magnificent voices shaking this world.
The woman in the phoenix dress lowered her head, her majestic divine eyes with rose-red pupils gazed down upon the land, but she did not look at the crowd below. Instead, she looked directly at the central cloud platform, her gaze fixed on Xia Feng.
Xia Feng narrowed his black eyes and looked up slightly, their four eyes meeting.
The world fell into an eerie silence at this moment, and no one spoke, except for the fallen maid-in-waiting in Xia Feng’s arms.
Ke Yanqing’s ink-colored pupils, tinged with crimson, had half of them rolled into her upper eyelids. In her chaotic consciousness, she vaguely sensed that her Mother was looking at her!!
Ke Yanqing: “!!!”
“…”
“Hua Biao, the maid you sent is no good either,” Xia Feng broke the silence first, casually giving Hua Shen a nickname with a casual and lazy posture. “Actually, I’m more interested in Hezi. Why don’t you send her instead?”
Ke Yanqing: “?!!”
Xia Feng’s voice was not hidden at all, and he even deliberately amplified it to the outside world, making it resound throughout the entire land.
This instantly ignited the anger of the Golden Sparrow Flower tribe.
Hua… What?! The three thousand people respectfully prostrating on the ground all abruptly raised their heads, their eyes filled with murderous rage.
“You’re really asking for death,” Lei Chonghua said with a dark expression, staring coldly at the central cloud platform.
Beside him, Bai Shou Xian’s cold, strange white eyes narrowed. He had just learned from Hezi that Mother seemed to have made a deal with Huojin and did not intend to kill this madman after the Star Devouring Ritual.
However, before handing this madman over to Huojin, the Golden Sparrow Flower tribe had plenty of time and means to torment him, and destroying his mind would be easy.
Ke Zelek and Corvis of the Ke clan were particularly good at this.
Corvis’s home had indeed many torture devices in its dark rooms. He greatly enjoyed and was skilled at tormenting people; it was one of his few unhealthy hobbies.
However, at this moment, apart from the anger and killing intent towards Xia Feng for insulting his Mother with his words, Corvis also had a sliver of doubt.
Why did Xia Feng say Sister Qing was no good and wanted to send Lord Hezi instead?
What was no good?
Sister Qing was proficient in everything and was a recognized genius. How could she be no good! Corvis mused, a cold smile playing on his lips. This bastard surnamed Xia seemed to be putting up a brave front, probably already tortured to the brink of death by Sister Qing!
_Whoosh_!
The divine pressure was terrifying. The divine eyes of the woman in the phoenix dress shifted, finally looking at the crowd below. Her gaze was like a mountain of pressure, pressing down.
Her gaze held no emotion, exceptionally calm.
But everyone had already understood the command within it: they were told not to be angry and to complete the Star Devouring Ritual as soon as possible.
Mother had finally given them a command. Although it was just a look, the more than three thousand Golden Sparrow tribesmen became exceptionally excited. They no longer paid attention to the ignorant mouse surnamed Xia. As if injected with adrenaline, their efficiency more than doubled, and they began to frantically accelerate the Star Devouring Ritual.
Seeing this, Xia Feng’s eye corner twitched imperceptibly. No wonder the Golden Sparrow Flower tribe, despite absorbing hundreds and thousands of other tribes, had little conflict between them and presented a united front against outsiders.
It turned out they were all bewitched by Hua Biao.
This Hua Biao… Is she really that charming?
Xia Feng thought back to the first glance he had of Hua Biao’s true form and the heaven-defying thought that flashed through his mind, and inexplicably felt it was reasonable now.
Stupid Carp and Hua Biao looked exactly alike. Sometimes, when Xia Feng looked at Stupid Carp, his blood would surge, but it was mostly _physical_ desire, with little reverence.
But looking at Hua Biao was different. There was no physical desire, and it was more of a psychological willingness to submit, which was quite strange.
However, that desire to be Hua Shen’s loyal dog seemed not to affect him, whether it was because of the Calamity Demon Heart or because he and Yue Hongli had a Calamity Contract.
The woman in the phoenix dress paid Xia Feng no further attention. Her figure had, at some unknown time, appeared behind Jin Xiangfeng and Hezi.
As the two maidservants were kneeling, a majestic voice sounded from behind them: “Rise.”
The two women quickly stood up and turned to respectfully say, “Mother, the Spirit Awakening Tree is complete, but the Star Devouring Ritual still needs about ten minutes.”
The rose-red divine eyes under the fox mask of the woman in the phoenix dress looked at Jin Xiangfeng, “Were the spirit awakening detection checks done?”
The old woman, clad in a crimson divine robe, said in a deep voice, “We have performed two rounds of verification and confirmed that within the scope of Sparrow God Mountain, only Xia Feng possesses spacetime imprints of two Dragon God auras. Based on the comparison with the ‘Heavenly Revelation Shard’ aura, the imprint indeed contains Heavenly Revelation aura, most likely the Heavenly Revelation Sacred Seal leading to the Heavenly Revelation Divine Palace.”
The woman in the phoenix dress nodded. This was within her expectations.
For the past year, she had been investigating Xia Feng’s possible hidden identity and trajectory. She discovered that this human had had several encounters with the Apocalypse Knights.
Xia Feng had contracted Yue Hongli. Once the Heavenly Martial Empress awakened, she would definitely notice Xia Feng’s existence.
Now it seemed that the Heavenly Martial Empress not only noticed him but also attached great importance to Xia Feng, directly bestowing upon him two Sacred Seals leading to the Heavenly Revelation Divine Palace.
However, it was understandable. Yue Hongli was an important tool to deal with her, Hua Shen. The Heavenly Martial Empress would definitely keep her firmly in her hands.
