Chapter 146: Mu Qingtong Arrives
Uncle Wei seemed not to notice her.
Cha Nai Xue did not make a sound and, without changing her expression, returned indoors.
Flower Host frowned as he stared at the blue-and-white flower in her hand and said in a deep voice, “Saintess, you just picked this flower so casually? Isn’t that a bit too reckless?”
“Sigh,” Ye Lixing sighed, shaking his head. The Saintess had gone mad.
Cha Nai Xue ignored their questioning and walked directly into the shadows behind the sofa.
As she entered the darkness where the light could not reach, the delicate indigo flower in her hand began to emit a radiant glow. Star-like fragments drifted from the petals, swirling around the stamen like countless stars.
This was a phenomenon that only Star Bone Glaze exhibited.
The words Ye Lixing was about to question him further got stuck in his throat. He stared at the star flower in the Saintess’s hand, astonished.
“What’s going on?” He was a bit confused. Was the Star Bone Glaze really this flower?
Thinking this, he turned to Xia Feng in disbelief, “How did you do it?”
Xia Feng smiled, “I just used my hands.”
“…”
Damn it, he was impressed by this male prostitute! Ye Lixing knew that there was a very rare physique in this world called Divine Affinity.
People with this physique were naturally sensitive to substances with divinity, and thus were highly sought after by major churches, having a higher chance than ordinary people of becoming a Holy Son or Saintess.
Could this guy named Xia be a Divine Affinity?
Ye Lixing admitted he was jealous. Damn it, how could this guy have such a good birth!
Flower Host, with his heavily made-up face, glanced at Xia Feng thoughtfully and nodded with satisfaction, “Tsk, tsk, he is indeed a genius. Those ladies will definitely like you.”
Xia Feng: “…”
Cha Nai Xue ignored what the people behind her were saying, only looking at the Star Bone Glaze in her hand with some surprise.
The moment the star fragments appeared, she clearly sensed that the flower stem contained Holy Solution!
And a full 50 milliliters of it!
She suppressed her excitement and quietly put the flower into the storage box, preparing to secretly extract the Holy Solution after leaving the garden.
Deep in thought, she turned back to the sofa and sat down, indifferently embracing Xia Feng’s waist, and leaned back, her eyes calmly raised, “Alright, the important business is finished. You can all leave now.”
“…” Her delicate hand gripped his waist, and Xia Feng leaned into her embrace expressionlessly.
Ye Lixing silently stared at Xia Feng’s cheek pressed against the Saintess’s delicate neck. Caught off guard by the Saintess’s forceful embrace, Xia Feng was almost buried in her fair, delicate neck.
Seeing this, Ye Lixing’s heart ached. Saintess, aren’t you too hasty?
Everyone is still here, and you’re already getting handsy with this lower-class person?!
Xia Feng’s breath tickled her neck. Cha Nai Xue’s neck stiffened slightly, and she calmly raised her purple eyes, “Knight Ye Lixing, why are you still standing here?”
“…”
Ye Lixing came to his senses and quickly bowed respectfully. As he turned to leave, his expression turned grim. It seemed the Saintess had completely lost her mind over this lower-class person!
After the door was closed.
Just as Xia Feng was about to sit up, Cha Nai Xue frowned and continued to hug his side, “Don’t move. People on the first floor are watching. If you’re going to pretend, then do it convincingly.”
“Let them watch. Get off,” Xia Feng ignored her and opened her hand, sitting up.
“I saw your adoptive father.”
“Huh?”
“Uncle Wei is inside the Star Bone Pillar,” Cha Nai Xue smiled, her eyes glancing at Xia Feng, and said softly, “Tell me, should I report him now?”
Xia Feng smiled without speaking, quietly staring at her.
“…” Cha Nai Xue realized she had gotten carried away again. Her smile gradually stiffened, her eyelashes fluttered, and she lowered her gaze, “I was just joking. Don’t do anything rash…”
“What is Uncle Wei doing in there?”
Cha Nai Xue roughly described the scene she had seen, and Xia Feng’s brows furrowed.
The Star Bone Pillar recorded all the events that happened in this place. Old Wei was holding a strange USB drive in his hand. Without even thinking, Xia Feng could guess what this guy was trying to do.
Although he didn’t know how Old Wei managed to infiltrate the Star Bone Pillar, Xia Feng felt that this matter was unreliable and would eventually lead to trouble.
He couldn’t help but look at the giant pillar in front of him with some concern.
“No, wait.” Xia Feng suddenly came to his senses. He had almost forgotten the main business. He turned to Cha Nai Xue expressionlessly, his gaze calm, “Hand it over.”
“What?” Cha Nai Xue asked, confused.
Xia Feng got straight to the point, “Don’t play dumb. Give me the Holy Solution.”
“!” Cha Nai Xue’s heart skipped a beat. How did this scoundrel know about this?!
“What Holy Solution?” She frowned, feigning confusion, and pursed her lips helplessly, “Even as the Saintess, I have no way to obtain such a rare Spiritual Material…”
“3—” Xia Feng smiled, “2—”
“1”
“Here! I’ll give it to you! All right!” Cha Nai Xue couldn’t hold back anymore. Gritting her teeth, she stood up and walked into the secret chamber.
After squeezing all the golden liquid from the flower stem into a test tube, she sealed the test tube and handed it to Xia Feng, “Hold it tight!”
Xia Feng smiled and took it, immediately feeling a surge of spiritual energy flow into his palm.
Excellent! 50 milliliters of Holy Solution, successfully obtained!
Coupled with the previous 40 milliliters, he now had 90 milliliters.
Only 10 more milliliters were needed to collect this Holy Solution Material. Once he absorbed 100 milliliters of Holy Solution, a Holy Solution Stone would be formed, granting him the opportunity for a temporary Holy Solution and a taste of Holy Solution Ability.
“Everyone! Everyone!”
Just then, a loud microphone voice sounded from outside.
“Welcome, esteemed family members, back to the garden. Are you satisfied with the treasures from this ‘Garden Hunt’?”
Xia Feng and Cha Nai Xue walked out of the secret chamber and looked down at the first floor.
Nearly a hundred people, including well-dressed gentlemen and a few ladies in gorgeous long dresses, surrounded a high platform.
In the center of the platform stood Flower Host, dressed in an ink-green suit and tie. He spread his arms and delivered an impassioned speech:
“To accommodate our new family members, I will first introduce the rules of the Garden Hunt. In fact, the rules are very simple. With the glass house as the center, within a radius of five hundred meters, you can chase the fleeing treasures to your heart’s content. You are only forbidden from attacking each other; everything else is unlimited. You can do whatever you want to the treasures.”
“Of course, if anyone feels that the treasures from the ‘Orphanage’ are not playing their roles realistically enough, and cannot exude the aura of nobility, that is not a problem at all. There are many real noble ladies in the garden!”
Wearing a top hat, he pointed his long cane towards a dark spot in the distance, and a spotlight shone down:
“Do you see them? The apple of the eye of Count Arabi, the favorite wife of Baron Lin Jiu, and the childhood sweetheart of the famous investigator Li Hong. These are all traitorous family members who refused to join the Garden Hunt! Ha, I’m sure all you gentlemen will be very interested!”
Saying this, Flower Host chuckled and pointed his cane to another spot, “Of course, there is also your long-awaited Miss Zhizi.”
“Miss Jiang Zhizi, once praised as the most beautiful Spirit Song Diva in the world, with over a hundred million fans, deeply loved by the people of the empire, and a famous star!”
The spotlight shone down on a woman in a gorgeous dress, holding a microphone, standing expressionlessly on the stage.
She looked at the countless strange and lewd gazes cast from below, without any emotion.
She had experienced such things too many times. Except for the time Wen Zaiye saw her and made her feel like she was falling into an abyss, at other times, no matter what these swine did to her, it couldn’t stir the slightest emotion within her.
“Alright, my dear family members! You can frolic amongst the flowers at will, and indulge your primal instincts under the watchful eye of nature! Let the— feast of tonight begin!”
As Flower Host’s infectious and impassioned words fell, the scene fell into a brief silence.
The faces of some of the newly arrived girls turned pale, and they retreated in fear, finally realizing what was happening and quickly scrambling out of the glass house using their hands and feet.
But it was in vain. Amidst the vulgar or arrogant laughter, the girls’ screams were drowned out.
Similar situations occurred everywhere, inside and outside the glass house, among the flower bushes.
All participants no longer hid their inner malice and desires. They did as they pleased: murder, rape, playing flying chess… the scene instantly became extremely chaotic and unbearable.
At this moment, a woman in a black dress, wearing a lace half-fox mask, walked into the central hall. She walked slowly towards the staircase not far away in delicate, sparkling high heels.
As people around her saw her, their pupils flashed with bewilderment, and then they turned their heads to continue what they were doing, seemingly ignoring her completely.
