Chapter 169: Nine-Eyed God
“What is this?!”
She opened her small mouth in confusion, her crimson face filled with disbelief.
Feeling the excited tremor deep within her soul and the information about her abilities appearing in her mind, Cha Nai Xue’s brain felt like it had crashed.
This optimization was too powerful! Not only did it eliminate side effects, but it also super-evolved the ‘Naraku Demon’ into an异位空間 (otherworldly space) that could be hidden in for a long time.
The black-dressed woman and the white-clothed man looked down at Cha Nai Xue, who was resting on her hands on the lawn with a twitching corner of her lips.
“What’s wrong with her?” Mu Qingtong asked with some confusion.
“Uh…” Xia Feng rubbed his chin. “Maybe she just enjoyed it too much?”
Mu Qingtong thoughtfully reached out and lightly touched the pearl on Cha Nai Xue’s navel with her index fingertip. The crimson heart wing mark around the pearl flickered with light, disappearing and reappearing.
After sensing for a moment, she said calmly, “This is likely more than just a Spirit Artifact; it also contains Star God power and is linked to the Heart Wing mark.”
“Mm, that’s probably to destroy the Slave Contract,” Xia Feng nodded. “But it hasn’t succeeded yet.”
Speaking of which, he reached out and patted Cha Nai Xue’s delicately flushed face, smiling. “Naisue Older Sister, you’re not being honest, are you? Still thinking of resisting?”
“…” The snow-skirt woman bit her lip and turned her face away. The optimization was over, and her crescent-shaped back relaxed. She supported herself with her hands on the lawn, her hair falling to her lips as she panted softly.
This feeling of being optimized was strange, but if she could have it again… She turned her face back, her beautiful eyes looking steadily at the man in front of her, boldly asking in anticipation, “Is there more? I, I want to do it again…”
“You’re dreaming.” Xia Feng glanced at her, withdrew his hand, and said calmly, “It can only be optimized once. There’s nothing more.”
Is that so… Cha Nai Xue felt a little regretful, but she was also content.
She had now realized that by following Xia Feng, she always gained unexpected rewards. If it could be like this every day, then being Little Feng’s female slave wouldn’t be so ba—
No. Bah! What was she thinking? Her thoughts paused. Becoming a female slave was impossible! Since this childhood sweetheart was so powerful, wouldn’t it be even better to turn him into a male slave?
With this thought, her resolve to switch their master-servant positions became even stronger!
As she was contemplating, the spiritual light on her abdomen gathered again to form her dress. Cha Nai Xue quickly regained her dignified demeanor.
“Mr. Xia, can your ability optimize S-grade Spirit Artifacts?” Mu Qingtong asked curiously from the side.
Xia Feng looked up and smiled. “Of course, and not just S-grade Spirit Artifacts. I can optimize any strange Spirit Artifacts. Miss Mu, would you like to try?”
“Oh, no,” the black-dressed woman said calmly.
“Oh?” Xia Feng raised an eyebrow, his tone slightly higher, and smiled playfully. “Refusing such a good thing, does Miss Mu have some unspeakable secret?”
Cha Nai Xue also looked at Mu Qingtong with some confusion, but then she understood. Mu Qingtong’s Spirit Artifact level was probably only N or D, so optimizing it wouldn’t be very useful, which was why she didn’t dare to take it out to embarrass herself.
Thinking this, the corner of her lips curved unintentionally, but she quickly restrained it, resuming her elegant and calm demeanor.
Mu Qingtong raised her eyes indifferently at Xia Feng’s little game and turned her head away, not bothering to reply.
Although the optimization did make her a little tempted, she knew it was most likely Xia Feng talking nonsense. The optimization should at most be able to optimize S-grade Spirit Artifacts and would be ineffective on Alpha Spirit Artifacts.
And even if it were effective, she would never let Xia Feng optimize it. After all, what if this ‘optimization’ came with other side effects, like restricting her Spirit Artifact’s use?
That would put her at a significant disadvantage, and the loss would outweigh the gain.
Seeing that Mu Qingtong was ignoring him, Xia Feng knew this witch was overthinking again. He smiled slightly, didn’t explain further, and returned to the main topic.
“Alright then, Cha Nai Xue, use your Naraku Eye to see my future.” Xia Feng said with a serious expression. “See when I can become a god.”
“?” Cha Nai Xue raised her eyes calmly. “The next time you dream.”
“Huh?!”
Feeling her lower abdomen heat up, Cha Nai Xue pursed her lips helplessly. “Alright, alright, don’t mess around first.”
“Let me tell you this, the direction of the future I see with Naraku Eye is not something I can decide. The only thing I can be sure of is that the more ‘Naraku belief’ is sacrificed, the more important the future I can see will be.”
“Also, the future I see will not necessarily happen. Because the future is made up of countless branches, and the future I see is only one of the most likely branches.
And I can judge whether it’s good or bad based on the scene I see. If it’s good, I’ll go with it. If it’s bad, I’ll find a way to prevent this branch of the future from happening.”
Is that so… Xia Feng nodded thoughtfully. “That’s fine. Sacrifice 500 points of belief and look at my future.”
Seeing that Xia Feng still wanted to look, Cha Nai Xue nodded helplessly. Although her belief power was not much, she still had 500 points.
Taking a deep breath, her pupils instantly sharpened. Her light purple irises scattered into countless purple spiritual lights that filled her eye sockets. It was as if after the Big Bang, countless stars rapidly converged and flowed within her two eye sockets, and her entire aura became ethereal and divine.
At the same time, a scene appeared in her mind—
Xia Feng, dressed in white, floated in mid-air, his right hand on the hilt of the blood-red saber at his waist. Behind him, space was dark as pitch, as if a terrifying, giant Nightmare Beast was coiled there. That shocking Calamity Force, like the reversal of a galaxy, rushed towards her across countless times and spaces.
Her face instantly turned pale. Simultaneously, in the infinite and distant darkness, a majestic, pale vertical pupil slowly opened, looking down at her indifferently…
“Pfft—” Blood overflowed from the corner of her lips, and her body went limp.
!
Xia Feng was startled and quickly supported her. Countless stars condensed back into purple irises. Cha Nai Xue raised her beautiful eyes, and after recovering, her gaze still held terror.
“Why are you spitting blood?” Xia Feng asked in confusion.
After a long while, Cha Nai Xue sat up straight again, still shaken. This was the first time she had suffered a backlash from her abilities. This guy, Xia Feng… was just too outrageous!
And that Nightmare God was at least a Nine-Eyed God!
One had to know, in the entire Imaginary Gate, there were only two Nine-Eyed Nightmares—
[Nine-Eyed Great Calamity · Kagutsuchi]
[Nine-Eyed Great Disaster · Calamity]
Xia Feng was actually being targeted by one of these two? Cha Nai Xue stared at Xia Feng with a strange look.
“Why are you looking at me like that? Hurry up and tell me what you saw. Why are you so scared?”
Cha Nai Xue took a deep breath and described the scene she had seen.
“There was also a Mysterious Existence in the scene. The Nightmare God that appeared behind you was likely not looking at me, but at this Mysterious Existence.”
After listening to Cha Nai Xue’s description, Xia Feng frowned and pondered for a moment. He roughly understood that this Nightmare God was probably the Dragon God, and the other Mysterious Existence might be some unlucky Star God or Nightmare God.
“Did you see where it happened?” Xia Feng continued to ask. “Was it in the garden?”
“I didn’t see the specific environment,” Cha Nai Xue shook her head. “But it shouldn’t be here.”
Midway through her sentence, she suddenly turned her head, her irises turning into purple spirals. She said in a deep, rapid voice, “Someone is approaching, within a thousand meters. A Tier 5 Spirit Master, carrying a high concentration of Calamity Force. It might be a Calamity Eater.”
Naraku Eye’s information reception range was one kilometer, and all information within the next second entered her field of vision.
Hearing Cha Nai Xue’s words, Xia Feng’s eyes lit up with joy. “Then it seems like the people who are after us have arrived!”
After waiting for so long, the pursuers had finally arrived!
“Huh?”
Cha Nai Xue was startled. “500 meters, he stopped. He climbed a tree, and he’s leaning against a branch, sleeping?”
