Chapter 1029: The Third Trap
Being belittled and insulted to her face, Jiang Qiue and Cha Nai Xue’s delicate eyebrows showed a hint of displeasure.
Cha Nai Xue, with her eyes curved, said, “Miss Mu, whether we can win or not can only be known by trying, can’t it?”
Jiang Qiue’s clear eyes turned indifferent. “Mu Qingtong, although my current strength has dropped to Monarch Tier 4, my authority has not weakened at all. Coupled with Cha Nai Xue’s Sage-class physical body, you might not necessarily win.”
As they spoke, the two women stamped their feet, one blocking the silver-haired loli, and the other rushing towards the black-dressed woman.
Seeing their overestimation of themselves, Mu Qingtong did not intend to waste more words with them and directly moved a thought, activating her Alpha Spirit Artifact.
【Holy Solution: Monarch’s Will】
Buzz—
In mid-air, Cha Nai Xue’s movements froze. Her physical body was indeed powerful, but her mental power was the weakest among the four. She was easily controlled by Monarch’s Will, and a sense of punishment towards Mu Qingtong arose in her heart, as if showing hostility towards her was an act of great disrespect, and negative emotions of grave sin surged into her mind.
However, at this very moment, Jiang Qiue’s ethereal immortal voice echoed in her heart: “Command: Gui Xu.”
Cha Nai Xue’s thoughts glitched, her gaze became vacant, but the Sub-spirit Artifact in her Spirit Substance, Gui Xu Meng Yan, trembled after being activated by Jiang Qiue’s immortal words ability.
【S-class Spirit Artifact: Gui Xu Meng Yan (Sub-spirit Artifact)】
【Gui Xu: Any ability purely activated by mental power, when used against you, the target will suffer Gui Xu backlash, and their consciousness will be dragged into the Gui Xu, falling into a low or unconscious state. (Sub-spirit Artifact efficacy is halved, cannot be triggered passively, requires active trigger.)】
“Buzz—!”
It was as if a crystal thread connected the black-dressed woman and the snow-skirt woman.
This sudden Gui Xu backlash caused Mu Qingtong’s golden eyes to widen imperceptibly, her pupils suddenly dilated, and she fell backward.
Seeing this, Xia Feng and the two women’s faces lit up with joy.
It worked!
Stupid Miss Mu, to think you’d end up like this too! Xia Feng, who had been observing all along, curved his lips and let out a laugh.
“Not bad, Tea Bitch, Fox, you two didn’t disappoint me.” He gave the two women a thumbs-up.
Cha Nai Xue’s eyes curved with a smile, while Jiang Qiue pursed her lips, her expression indifferent.
The third trap, Gui Xu Meng Yan.
Mu Qingtong knew he possessed Gui Xu Meng Yan, so she couldn’t use psychic-type attacks against him with spirit artifacts.
Since that was the case, Xia Feng had divided a sub-spirit artifact from this S-class spirit artifact. He could only create one sub-spirit artifact at most. After weighing the options, he gave it to Cha Nai Xue, who had the weakest mental power.
To be honest, Xia Feng himself didn’t expect the plan to go so smoothly.
Miss Mu had actually used an Alpha-class Spirit Artifact on Cha Nai Xue, and she had gone all out from the start, without any hesitation.
The black-dressed woman leaned back, collapsing softly onto the sofa, her slender neck arched back as if asleep.
Xia Feng stood in front of the sofa, looking down. He tutted twice, and smugly prepared to utter some taunting words.
His black pupils contracted.
Then, he saw the eyelids of that cool, pretty face lift, revealing a pair of golden beautiful eyes that were incredibly clear.
Mu Qingtong sat up straight, her legs elegantly crossed beneath her black dress as she leaned back, resting her face on her hand lazily. She looked at the stunned Xia Feng, her eyebrows slightly curved. “Mr. Xia, is this amusing?”
“…”
“Mr. Xia, you didn’t really think I’d be so foolish as to be unprepared for your Gui Xu Meng Yan, did you?”
“So…” Xia Feng’s expression was blank, his black pupils narrowed slightly. “It’s the Killing Tribulation Stone?”
“It seems Mr. Xia isn’t entirely stupid.”
“Heh heh~”
Xia Feng turned his head to look at Cha Nai Xue and Jiang Qiue. Seeing that both women looked somewhat bewildered, he sighed helplessly and turned back. “Tell me, what exactly is the function of the Killing Tribulation Stone?”
Seeing that the situation was settled, Mu Qingtong no longer hid anything and said calmly, “It can store mental power and convert it into killing intent.
The reason I was backlashed by killing intent before was because my mental power was too immense, and even the Killing Tribulation Stone couldn’t withstand it. That’s why I had to risk exposing myself and ask for Mr. Xia’s help.”
“I didn’t expect Mr. Xia to happen to have the Holy Dragon Judgment, a spirit robe that adapts to the Killing Tribulation Stone. You truly saved my life.”
“…” Xia Feng’s mind suddenly became clear, and he was so angry he gritted his teeth.
Gui Xu Meng Yan countered psychic abilities. The higher the target’s mental power, the stronger the Gui Xu power.
But if Mu Qingtong consumed or transferred a large amount of mental power, the effect of Gui Xu power would not be as significant.
So Mu Qingtong had been plotting this all along!
Xia Feng even suspected that Miss Mu had long realized that something was not right just now, but she deliberately played along, channeling a large amount of Yin energy to him, making him actively reverse the Sacred Covenant.
Xia Feng could already imagine Miss Mu laughing at him in her heart at that time: You want the Lunar Bright Phase? Here you go.
She deliberately gave him the Lunar Bright Phase, even though he gained control of the Moon Time result, his combat power was weakened, making him almost defenseless.
Weakening his combat power was Miss Mu’s true purpose!
No wonder she was so calm before.
What a devious World-Ending Witch!
“Mr. Xia, you do respect me, not questioning the specific function of the Killing Tribulation Stone before.”
“…Did I ask and you answered!” Xia Feng rolled his eyes.
“I’m very curious. Since you knew the Killing Tribulation Stone was problematic and was a means to deal with you, why were you so confident just now?”
“…I’m happy, what can you do about it?!”
“Played?”
“…” Xia Feng was indeed very unhappy. Mu Qingtong had obtained the Killing Tribulation Stone, and with his help, he had essentially shot himself in the foot.
However, it was fine. He hadn’t had good intentions towards Miss Mu either, and he often took advantage of Miss Mu.
“Even so, it’s at best a draw.”
Although caught off guard by the Killing Tribulation Stone, Xia Feng was not flustered at all. “Miss Mu, you want the Dual Moon, but with Cha Nai Xue and Jiang Qiue by my side, they won’t stand idly by. Unless you can subdue those two, everything will be in vain.”
The situation had now reached a stalemate.
Cha Nai Xue and Jiang Qiue were not to be trifled with. Although Mu Qingtong had the Killing Tribulation Stone as protection and could still use Alpha-class Spirit Artifacts, with her mental power completely depleted, it was difficult for her to exert the full effectiveness of the Spirit Artifact, and her combat power was greatly reduced.
If they were to fight, it was uncertain who would win or lose.
Mu Qingtong crossed her long legs beneath her black dress, resting her face on her hand. Her beautiful eyes gazed calmly at Xia Feng, her demeanor carrying a regal air. “Who said I wanted the Dual Moon?”
Xia Feng’s thoughts abruptly paused, and he was stunned. “Ah? What do you mean?”
“Mr. Xia, what you said is actually quite right. The Dual Moon is not the best choice, as the 20% success rate is too low. Therefore, from the very beginning, my objective was never the Dual Moon.”
Mu Qingtong’s words were astounding, and Xia Feng raised an eyebrow, even more confused. “So, you mean you’re willing to have the Four Months?”
In the distance, the green-dressed woman and the snow-skirt woman also looked puzzled. Did Mu Qingtong finally understand?
However, Mu Qingtong shook her head, her golden lake-like cold eyes clear and serene. She looked at Xia Feng seriously. “Mr. Xia, what I want is the Nine Months!”
“???”
