Chapter 168: Let Me Touch Your Spirit Artifact
Xia Feng and the other two returned to the ground again.
Since they didn’t know how to find the Archbishop, the trio went back to the battlefield where they had encountered Ye Lixing before.
As the setting sun dyed the sky with hues of red, the three of them sat side by side on the sloping grassy hill, quietly watching the lingering sunset glow on the horizon.
“Are we just going to wait like this?” Cha Nai Xue asked curiously, tilting her head. She was sitting to Xia Feng’s left.
“Of course. If Ye Lixing doesn’t return soon, the Archbishop will definitely send someone more powerful to capture us,” Xia Feng replied, stretching his body as he lay down on the slope. “When they arrive, we’ll just ‘accidentally’ hand over the Lost People to them.”
Cha Nai Xue lowered her head and looked at the gardenia flower in her hand. As long as the amount of Spirit Particles was sufficient, the gardenia flower would continue to exist, and the Lost People imprisoned within would also remain alive.
Although she didn’t understand why Xia Feng wanted to give the Lost People to the Archbishop, she was too lazy to ask.
A gentle breeze from the setting sun brushed against her face. Cha Nai Xue, wearing a white skirt, kept her shapely legs together. Even while sitting on the slope, her posture was elegant, her back straight. Her beautiful eyes were lowered, quietly gazing at Xia Feng’s face, who was dozing with his eyes closed beside her. Her gaze flickered, as if she were pondering something.
At that moment, she seemed to sense something and looked up, only to find Mu Qingtong, the Black-dressed Woman sitting to Xia Feng’s right, staring at her with her golden eyes unblinking, her gaze gentle.
“Mu Qingtong, why are you staring at me?” she asked, narrowing her eyes slightly.
Mu Qingtong replied calmly, “I heard your Spirit Artifact can foresee the future. I’m very curious, what have you seen?”
“I’m sorry, that’s my secret, and I can’t tell you,” Cha Nai Xue said dismissively, chin held high.
She understood Mu Qingtong’s curiosity. After all, her Spirit Artifact was A-class. It was normal for Mu Qingtong to be curious after seeing such a high-level Spirit Artifact for the first time.
However, she didn’t intend to say much to this common noble daughter.
“Hm?” Just then, Xia Feng’s eyes suddenly opened, and he sat up abruptly.
Cha Nai Xue was startled. “What are you doing?”
“I almost forgot about this,” Xia Feng said with a kind smile, patting her delicate shoulder. “Naisue Older Sister, let me touch your Spirit Artifact.”
“…” Cha Nai Xue was stunned for a moment, then understood, her eyes looking strange. “You want to copy my Spirit Artifact?”
“Naturally.”
“Then you might be disappointed,” Cha Nai Xue shook her head. “My Spirit Artifact is rather special. Even if you copy it, you probably won’t be able to use it.”
“?” Xia Feng seemed confused. “Why?”
“. It can’t be used, that’s all.”
“I don’t believe you. Let me see.”
“…”
Cha Nai Xue pursed her lips and remained silent. However, facing Xia Feng’s increasingly dangerous gaze, she gritted her teeth, turned her head away with a cold expression, and the fabric around her waist instantly turned into spiritual light and dispersed.
Her slender waist was as if it could be held by a single hand. A faint, blush-colored Heart Wing mark could be seen on her flat, soft, fair lower abdomen. And at her navel, below her abdomen, was embedded a small, round, crimson bead, emitting a faint rosy radiance.
“This is my Spirit Artifact,” the Snow-skirt Woman said in a stiff voice, her small face slightly flushed. She bit her lip. “Quick, touch it.”
“…”
“Oh? Is this the Slave Seal?” Mu Qingtong stared at the Heart Wing mark from the side, her eyes filled with curiosity, her mind rapidly analyzing the Spirit Particle Structure of such a contract-based Spirit Robe.
Facing the unabashed gazes of both a man and a woman, Cha Nai Xue’s ear roots turned completely red. She said angrily, “Xia, if you want to touch it, hurry up.”
*Can’t you take off this Spirit Artifact?* Xia Feng silently glanced at the woman, said nothing more, and placed his right palm on her abdomen.
[Detected copyable Spirit Artifact – Naraka’s Between *Anomaly* Anomaly**]
[A-class Naraka’s Between]
[Eye of Naraka: After sacrificing ’10 points’ of Naraka Belief power, you can see the past and future under current circumstances (future: 1 second, past: 3 days). Sacrifice 1-100 years of lifespan and ‘≥1000 points’ of Naraka Belief, and you can see the corresponding amount of prophecies or scenes.]
[Demon of Naraka: Sacrifice corresponding Naraka Belief to enter ‘Naraka’s Between’. In Naraka’s Between, you can calculate the probability of an event occurring by inputting known sample size and information volume. ‘Naraka’s Between’ is a space, and you can stay for a maximum of 1 minute.]
[Anomaly: S-grade Spirit Artifact manufactured by Naraka Star River. Use requires sacrificing Belief to the Naraka Star God.]
A flood of information entered his mind. Xia Feng was stunned for a moment, then looked at Cha Nai Xue with a strange gaze. “Aren’t you a reserve Saintess of the Black Moon?”
The Snow-skirt Woman smiled. “Is there a problem?”
“No problem, as expected of you, Cha Nai Xue.” Xia Feng gave her a thumbs-up. The Black Moon Holy See’s scriptures clearly stipulated the law of ‘no other gods’.
If Cha Nai Xue’s secret were exposed, even as a reserve Saintess, she would be burned alive at the stake.
“Now you understand, I didn’t lie to you. You can’t use it,” Cha Nai Xue said softly, covering her abdomen where the Heart Wing mark had appeared. “Do you still want to copy it?”
Whether it was Belief power or lifespan, the price to pay was too high. Cha Nai Xue knew that Xia Feng wouldn’t copy it.
Xia Feng nodded. He indeed wasn’t planning to copy it. Without the Belief power, the Naraka’s Between would be useless even if copied, but…
It didn’t really matter, as Cha Nai Xue couldn’t resist him anyway.
!
With that thought, a mysterious smile hooked his lips, and his eyes shone. “Naisue Older Sister, want to try the feeling of optimization?”
“Optimization?” Cha Nai Xue’s expression froze, and her tone held disbelief. “Your ability can optimize other people’s Spirit Artifacts?”
“Naturally.”
The optimization ability had always been able to optimize other people’s Spirit Artifacts; Xia Feng just hadn’t found an opportunity to use it before.
However, optimizing others was not without limitations. His current true rank was Third-stage, so he could only optimize three other people’s Spirit Artifacts simultaneously.
In addition, he could retract the optimization effect on a target at any time.
“But this is an A-class Spirit Artifact. You can even optimize A-class ones?” Cha Nai Xue was somewhat suspicious.
“My power is beyond your imagination,” Xia Feng said proudly. He gently pulled her delicate hand away and placed his palm on her flat abdomen, saying in a deep voice, “Optimize!”
Immediately, an milky white halo, like holy light, flowed from Xia Feng’s palm into her abdomen.
“En? ENNNNN!!!!” Cha Nai Xue, caught off guard, arched her beautiful back, her violet eyes widening as she looked up at the sky.
She could feel an incredibly powerful and peculiar force directly penetrating her soul, reaching its depths. At this moment, it felt as if her soul had undergone an indescribable sublimation. Her face turned red as she bit her lower lip tightly.
A message appeared in her mind.
[Optimization Successful —]
[A-class Naraka’s Between (Optimized Version)]
[Eye of Naraka (Optimized Version): The Belief power required for this ability is halved, and it no longer consumes lifespan.]
[Demon of Naraka (Optimized Version): You can enter the ‘Naraka’s Between’ and bring up to three people with you. The maximum stay is 3 days.]
“!!!”
As these messages entered her mind, Cha Nai Xue’s beautiful eyes widened abnormally, and then slowly expanded.
