Chapter 136: Green Bone Glaze
The scarlet eye closed and disappeared.
Xia Feng, hiding in the shadows, shifted his gaze to the red-robed figure gasping for breath on the ground.
This mysterious person wore a blood-eyed mask. He removed it, vomited black blood, and trembled, seeming to be in fear.
Only then did Xia Feng see clearly. It was a pale young man with a lip piercing, appearing to be the ruggedly handsome type.
Not counting this time, Xia Feng had seen this guy twice. The first time was outside the Anubi Calamity Realm, and the second was just now. Judging by the mask symbol, he was a member of the Burning Heaven Sacred Hall.
Moreover, he was accompanied by a strange scarlet eye. Its aura was at least Six-eyed Level. Being protected by such a creature suggests his identity was not simple.
Xia Feng hid in the shadows, his gaze flickering with killing intent, contemplating the feasibility of killing this guy and impersonating him.
However, after consideration, he suppressed the thought and decided to wait and see.
Geng Gui was covered in cold sweat, lying on the ground. After resting for a while, he finally recovered. He put his mask back on and muttered with a sigh, “Bad luck, bad luck. I must be incompatible with this Peach Organization. Nothing good ever comes from encountering them!”
As he spoke, he stumbled to his feet and went to a red apricot tree behind and to the right of the notice board. The blood-eye symbol on his mask lit up, aimed at the center of the tree trunk, and he said hoarsely and quickly:
“Hello, hello, hello! Is anyone there? I have no Spirit Pressure left. Hurry up and let someone open the door.”
After speaking, he was out of strength and slumped against the tree trunk.
After about four or five seconds, a crimson light door appeared out of thin air next to the red apricot tree. A woman wearing a sun hat and a white backless dress, with high heels, walked out of the light door.
She wore sunglasses and looked down. Her charming voice was indifferent as she said, “Teacher Cang. It’s the second time. Tell me, what trouble have you encountered now?”
“Teacher Cang,” Geng Gui leaned against the tree trunk, his voice weak. “The orphanage, the orphanage was blown up.”
“Huh?” The woman seemed not to understand. “Explain in detail.”
Geng Gui said hoarsely, “The Yuanhe Orphanage was destroyed by a God Relic. The Sky God died. I escaped under the protection of Scarlet, but Scarlet has fallen into a deep slumber as a result.”
“…”
Geng Gui’s words silenced the woman. She frowned, “Geng Gui, are you sure you weren’t under an illusion? That’s a Seven-eyed Level Calamity Realm!”
“I’m perfectly clear, Teacher Cang. You should report to the Garden Master as soon as possible. The supply point has been destroyed, and this matter might affect the Garden Master’s plans.”
“Do you know who did it?”
Geng Gui swallowed, still feeling terrified. “It… it was two new members of the Peach Organization.”
“???”
Teacher Cang’s breath hitched. “The Peach Organization again?”
Her eyes narrowed slightly, and her charming voice turned chilling, “It seems this organization has set its sights on us.”
After a moment of silence, she shook her head and said in a deep voice, “Never mind, I’ll tell the Garden Master about this matter. Can you still act? I need you to capture someone.”
“Capture someone?” Geng Gui was puzzled. “Didn’t they say the checks have been strict lately, with people from the Military Department coming to District 51? Isn’t the capturing on hold for now?”
“This time, we’re not capturing noble ladies, but a student named Xia Feng.”
“Xia Feng? That name sounds familiar…”
“Mu Qingtong’s fiancé, the youngest genius of Weiyang Academy,” Teacher Cang said with a light laugh. “Someone in the garden is very interested in this genius. How about it, can you still act?”
Geng Gui leaned his head against the tree trunk, weak. “Teacher Cang, for such a small matter, just send someone else. I want to rest for a while.”
“Alright.”
The woman didn’t insist. With a gentle snap of her delicate fingers, a hunched woman wearing a blood-eyed mask emerged from the light door behind her.
“Granny Ding, you go then.”
“Yes.” The hunched woman’s voice was hoarse.
Afterward, both Geng Gui and Teacher Cang entered the light door, and the dim path returned to silence.
Xia Feng glanced at the receding figure of the hunched woman, then back at the bloody notice board that read ‘No Trespassing.’
After a moment of thought, he quickly headed home.
***
Granny Ding had just arrived downstairs from Xia Feng’s home. As she prepared to go upstairs to see if the college student was home, she unexpectedly saw a familiar figure walking towards her.
She leaned on her cane and walked forward, looking up with a kindly smile. “Child, do you want to make money?”
Xia Feng was startled and blinked. “Yes, I do.”
“Granny has a good place for you to make money, with a monthly salary of twenty thousand. Hehe, are you interested?” As Granny Ding spoke, a creepy smile crept onto her lips.
“Really?” Xia Feng’s eyes lit up. “Let’s go, let’s go, Granny, hurry and take me. I’ve always wanted to make money.”
“?” Granny Ding’s creepy smile faltered. Why wasn’t this student following the script? Such a thing clearly sounded like a trick, and you agreed so readily?
Seeing that Granny Ding didn’t move, Xia Feng asked with a look of innocent confusion, “What’s wrong, Granny? Let’s go! By the way, where is the workplace, and what kind of job is it?”
“…”
Seeing Xia Feng’s expression wasn’t fake, Granny Ding secretly shook her head. Today’s college students were so easily fooled.
But it was good; it saved her the trouble. She curled her lips into a kindly smile. “You’ll be a waiter in a beautiful garden. It’s very easy. Come with Granny.”
Xia Feng followed Granny Ding back to the restricted area.
“Granny, this looks like a Military Restricted Area,” Xia Feng said with a look of astonishment at the world.
“It’s fine. Your clients are those big figures,” Granny Ding grinned, and a blood-eye rune lit up on her palm. She pressed it into a groove on the tree trunk. Then, she put her hand on Xia Feng’s shoulder and walked forward.
Xia Feng felt as if he had passed through some kind of barrier, and the scene of a dark forest before him faded away.
It suddenly turned into an endless expanse of green flowers, with a leisurely and comfortable gentle breeze caressing his face, making his heart feel refreshed.
However, Xia Feng frowned. He clearly felt a blockage in the circulation of Spirit Pressure within his body, making it impossible to form a Spirit Robe. As for Spirit Artifacts… they were unaffected.
“Within the Spirit Forbidden Domain, both Spirit Robes and Spirit Artifacts cannot be used. This is to allow those important figures to play here with greater peace of mind.”
A strange light flashed in Granny Ding’s cloudy eyes as she glanced at Xia Feng. “Don’t worry, there’s no danger. Come with Granny.”
Xia Feng followed behind Granny Ding, curiously observing his surroundings.
Even though he couldn’t use his Spirit Robe anymore, it wasn’t a big problem.
After all, he still had a Seven-eyed Level Calamity Realm. As long as it wasn’t a god descending, he feared no one right now.
If someone pushed him too far, he would unleash his Calamity Realm and drag all his enemies into his world to torment them to death.
Passing through rows of flowers, Xia Feng surveyed the mysterious green flowers that were almost up to his calves.
!
These flowers had a crystal-like glaze color, and their stamens twinkled with a clear green light. As they swayed and touched in the gentle breeze, Xia Feng could even faintly hear some delicate jingle sounds, like a goddess playing celestial music by the Milky Way, pleasant to the ear.
It soothed all weariness and thoughts.
“These flowers seem very special?” Xia Feng asked, confused.
“This is Green Bone Glaze,” Granny Ding said, seeming to be in a good mood, walking forward briskly.
Green Bone Glaze? The name sounded quite pleasant. Xia Feng nodded. “And then?”
“Don’t ask too many questions. Keep up, and don’t step on these flowers.”
Xia Feng followed Granny Ding through a large semicircular archway covered in Green Bone Glaze.
As light flashed, he felt a warmth on his brow, and a vertical, light pink mark appeared.
“This is your credential as a waiter here,” Granny Ding tilted her head and grinned. “As soon as anyone sees this mark on you, they’ll know you’re a waiter here.”
“Oh, really…” Xia Feng said with an innocent expression. “That’s very convenient.”
“Click—”
On both sides of the huge archway were two rows of nearly transparent doors.
One of the doors suddenly opened, and Teacher Cang, dressed in a white dress, walked out. She was startled to see the two of them and looked Xia Feng up and down. Her eyes curved slightly.
“You’re back. It’s not time to open the garden yet, so take him to Room 109 first.”
“Yes!”
Granny Ding bowed respectfully, then pulled Xia Feng and walked for a long time before opening a door and entering.
The interior was lavishly decorated like a five-star hotel, spacious and luxurious.
Xia Feng walked to the bed, but the door behind him suddenly slammed shut.
Xia Feng turned back in confusion.
He saw the old woman’s lips curled into a smile, staring straight at him, her wrinkled hands trembling.
Then, under Xia Feng’s bewildered gaze, she shakily began to remove her outer garment.
“???”
The old woman must be afraid I’m cold and wants to give me a piece of clothing, right?
Xia Feng found that there were good people in this evil organization after all~
But why did she seem to be taking off her pants as well?? Xia Feng couldn’t hold back anymore and politely asked, “Uh, Granny Ding, what are you doing?”
“Fucking you!”
Granny Ding’s lips curled wickedly as she let out a lewd laugh.
“…”
As a composed person who faced enemies from all directions without wavering, Xia Feng had seen all sorts of situations. This was a minor issue.
Yes, a minor issue! He took a small step back, about to say something to defuse the crisis of losing his virginity.
Granny Ding suddenly lunged through the air towards him, cackling, “Hehehe~ Little man~ Come into Grandma’s arms.”
Xia Feng quickly jumped aside, wanting to curse. This was not how his infiltration plan was supposed to go.
Granny Ding seemed to be overcome by lust and charged at him recklessly, emitting a perverted “hehehe” laugh.
Damn it, what the hell! Xia Feng’s expression turned grim. He couldn’t be bothered about whether he would be exposed or not and punched Granny Ding in the face.
Granny Ding screamed instantly. Her shadow merged. Her mental power was not high, and the Bloodworm devoured her in an instant. Under her terrified and bewildered gaze, her body melted into the shadows on the floor.
“Clack—”
The blood-eye mask fell, and Xia Feng instinctively caught it. At the same time, a soft, ethereal voice called out in his mind.
“Little Feng…”
It was a woman’s voice, deeply familiar, buried in the depths of his memory.
