Chapter 176: We Have Another Traitor!
“Brother, long time no see~”
As the Golden Skirt Goddess approached, Xia Feng’s pupils dilated, his blood boiling and surging as if crying out in fear to escape. He was once again covered in cold sweat, feeling like he had encountered his natural predator, his body stiff and unable to move.
In the depths of his being, he had a strange intuition that this woman wanted to… eat him?!
“I thought I would never be able to locate you again, but fate still favors us.”
A rose-gold divine ring floated behind the Golden Skirt Goddess. She reached out a delicate hand and caressed Xia Feng’s cheek. Her closed eyes curved gently at the corners of her eyes, saying, “Don’t be afraid, Little Feng, big sister won’t hurt you.”
The divine sound was like a gentle spring breeze, calming Xia Feng’s chaotic emotions.
But Xia Feng was already on guard. The moment he found his inner peace faltering and his gaze about to turn vacant, he quickly called out to Mu Shen!
Instantly, his body was taken over by Mu Qingtong, and his golden pupils coldly looked up at the Golden Skirt Goddess.
“Oh?” Gong Changyi was somewhat surprised. She turned her closed eyes to the void behind Xia Feng, as if she could see the two women hidden in Naraka’s Between.
“So it’s you.” Gong Changyi recognized the beautiful woman in the black dress as the arrogant person who had told her to ‘scram’ last time.
As for the snow-skirt woman beside this arrogant person, it was best not to mention her.
However, it seemed that in the years since she had parted ways with Little Feng, Little Feng had indeed experienced a lot. Not only had he learned how to pick up girls, but he had picked up two at once.
It was just a pity that she was currently only a projection of a Dao Star God. Dispelling the space barrier would consume too much divine power, preventing her from remaining in the mortal world.
She could only let these two women go for now and deal with them later.
“Never mind, let’s talk properly,” the Golden Skirt Goddess took another step closer to Xia Feng. “Little Feng, come home with me.”
Xia Feng was stunned. “Home?”
“Yes, I’ll send someone to pick you up in a few days to go to Burning Heaven Island for your Eternal Day Holy Son enthronement ceremony. Then you can see me every day. Aren’t you happy~”
“…”
Not happy! Eternal Day Holy Son, this is clearly a cult’s holy son, right? As a law-abiding citizen of the empire, Xia Feng firmly refused to have anything to do with cults!
Absolutely!
“After becoming the Holy Son, you can choose any B-grade and A-class Spirit Robes in the Holy Hall. Of course, if you still want S-grade Spirit Robes, it’s not impossible.”
“Sister, when will you send someone to pick me up?” Xia Feng looked up, blinking his eyes innocently.
Gong Changyi didn’t expect Xia Feng to agree so readily. She smiled, “Burning Heaven Island is hidden in the Eternal Flow Sea. It takes a long time to get to District 51, but you should be able to arrive in about half a month.”
“It’ll take half a month? Is it that long?” Xia Feng nodded, looking a little worried, and earnestly suggested, “Sister, I’m afraid someone might try to harm me during these half a month. How about you teach me a few Spirit Robes to defend myself? They don’t have to be too good, just give me two or three A-class Spirit Robes.”
After Xia Feng’s sincere request, he found that the tall goddess in front of him didn’t speak. She just closed her eyes, her elegant little face quietly facing him, and the rose-gold divine ring behind her golden divine dress slowly rotated clockwise.
“Why are you not talking anymore?” Xia Feng’s clear black eyes were filled with confusion.
The corner of the goddess’s lips curled up. “It’s nothing. I just haven’t heard Little Feng call me sister in a long time, and I’m happy.”
“Mmm-hmm, I’m happy too!” Xia Feng forcibly suppressed the natural fear he felt towards this eerie woman, his joyful smile sincere, his gaze filled with anticipation. “So…”
“Oh, you’re talking about teaching you A-class Spirit Robes?”
“Yes.” Xia Feng didn’t remember this woman very well, but that didn’t stop him from freeloading (strike that) and recognizing family!
“Call me sister again.”
“Sister.”
“Call me again.”
“…” Xia Feng cursed in his heart, but his face remained innocently smiling. “Sister~”
“Good boy, Little Feng is so well-behaved~” The golden-dressed woman patted Xia Feng’s head. “But A-class Spirit Robes can only be taught to you after you become the Eternal Day Holy Son~”
“?!” Xia Feng’s innocent smile froze. *Meow*, you shameless sister, what about basic trust between people?
It was said that I call you sister, and you pay. Even for such a fair trade, you’re going back on your word!
Although that was the case, Xia Feng still maintained a look of extreme happiness, continuing to call the Golden Skirt Woman “Sister” and “Sister.”
In Naraka’s Between, Cha Nai Xue watched Xia Feng’s shameless behavior with a strange look. She hadn’t expected her childhood sweetheart to be this kind of person, willing to abandon all integrity just to curry favor with the Eternal Day Goddess, calling her sister… it was disgusting.
However, she also knew that this was likely Xia Feng’s temporary strategy.
After all, the Eternal Day Goddess had appeared here, and no matter her purpose, it was not advisable to offend her. So, it was better to go with the flow and agree to all the Eternal Day Goddess’s demands for now.
What puzzled Cha Nai Xue was that she felt she had seen this Eternal Day Goddess somewhere before; she seemed very familiar.
“How about this, we’ll talk about the Spirit Robes for self-defense later.” Xia Feng spoke again. “But I’m in a bit of trouble right now, could you help me with something?”
“Hmm?”
“Can you remove the barrier here and let those projected image orbs that are trapped in the sky and flying around go out?”
The Golden Skirt Woman looked up, her gaze seemingly able to see everything in the outside world. She said lightly, shaking her head, “But I remember that the garden is a cooperative project with Burning Heaven.”
Seeing this, Xia Feng couldn’t help but sigh. “Sister Yi, we haven’t seen each other in a long time. Are you unwilling to help your little brother with even this small favor?”
Seeing Xia Feng deliberately putting on a disappointed look, the Golden Skirt Woman’s lips curved gently. *Good, Little Feng is still as cute as he was when he was a child, making me very hungry.*
She sighed inwardly, then smiled helplessly. “Alright, whatever Little Feng says goes.”
* * *
Outside the castle.
As the sky-piercing starflow dispersed, everyone felt a terrifying divine pressure that made their minds tremble sweep over them.
“The Eternal Day Goddess has descended. Gentlemen, are you still planning to stay here?” The Golden Man floated in mid-air, his hands behind his back.
Sensing the cleansing divine might, Xuanwu glanced at the sky. The Peach Organization still hadn’t appeared, so it seemed they weren’t going to make a move.
According to his and White Dragon’s predictions, since the Peach Organization had targeted the Garden multiple times, they wouldn’t miss this opportunity. But what they didn’t expect was that even though the Eternal Day Goddess had descended, there was no sign of the Peach Organization.
Xuanwu had originally planned to hold back one or two people with White Dragon to assist the Peach Organization.
But now, it seemed they were being overly enthusiastic.
Lost in thought, Xuanwu Bureau Chief knew he couldn’t delay any longer. A solemn expression settled on his aged face. “Let’s go.”
Seeing this, White Dragon directly carried Uncle Wei and turned to run.
“Running now is too late!” Viper’s sinister voice preceded them, and nine giant snake heads emerged from underground, blocking their path.
But at this moment! A piercingly short roar came from within the castle.
Everyone recognized it as the Archbishop’s voice. After a terrified roar, less than two seconds later, he was completely silenced. The powerful Fifth-stage spirit pressure aura within the castle also vanished.
Viper looked back, his vertical pupils narrowing. “Hmm? He’s dead?”
The Golden Man also looked confused. He took a step forward, intending to enter the castle to check the situation, but as he approached, he felt a divine gaze cast upon him, cold and piercing.
His face changed slightly, and he quickly stopped and bowed, not daring to move.
Xuanwu and White Dragon, who were preparing to flee in the distance, also stopped and looked at each other.
What was happening now?
The Archbishop of Aus died right after the Eternal Day Goddess descended? What exactly happened inside the castle?
More and more questions arose in the hearts of the four people.
Unfortunately, the castle itself had a barrier, and coupled with the coverage of the Eternal Day divine pressure, the four of them could not perceive the situation inside.
The sudden change brought the battlefield atmosphere to a standstill for a moment.
After about eight seconds of silence, another anomaly occurred. The dark clouds in the sky suddenly parted, and faint crimson red light gradually lit up, forming a huge dome-shaped net of light – a barrier covering the entire Garden territory.
Boom—clouds rolled and thunder roared. Brilliant golden lightning bolts, like countless golden snakes descending from the heavens, struck the light net, emitting sharp tearing sounds.
!
Countless nodes of the light net rapidly collapsed under the impact of the electric current. Amidst the roaring sound, the barrier completely shattered, blooming and withering like brilliant fireworks.
As the barrier disappeared, the numerous projected image orbs floating in mid-air seemed to have found their targets. They dispersed and expanded in an orderly and rapid manner, instantly covering ten kilometers… one hundred kilometers… one thousand kilometers… ten thousand kilometers!
Within a few moments, millions of image orbs, recording the crimes of the Garden, had spread throughout the entirety of District 51.
It was now 7 PM, the time when the crowds were most concentrated. When such a conspicuous image appeared in the sky, everyone was stunned for a moment before simultaneously taking out their phones and skillfully opening their cameras.
A short while later, the phones of the Executive Hall and the Holy Department of District 51 were overwhelmed, and chaos erupted in the executive building.
Five minutes later, the Yin Dragon Legion stationed in District 51 received an imperial-level directive from the Fourth Pillar of the Empire, ‘Shang Jue,’ to completely seal off District 51.
Twenty minutes later, the Central Court Council convened.
Outside the castle.
Viper and the Golden Man watched the barrier shatter and the countless projected image orbs escape, their hearts sinking.
What the hell was going on now?
A divine being must have made a move just now, causing the barrier to collapse.
But the Eternal Day Goddess was their god from Burning Heaven, and she would never do something to betray her allies. This left only one possibility…
Was there another god-tier existence inside the castle?
“Ah, this…” White Dragon was still somewhat confused about the situation. He scratched his beard and looked at Xuanwu, “Did the Peach Organization make a move?”
“Possibly.” Xuanwu Bureau Chief was also a little confused. He had initially thought that exposing the Garden would be impossible, but he hadn’t expected the Peach Organization to quietly resolve this matter while everyone wasn’t paying attention?
Who was the official organization?
This made them, the Holy Department and the Military Department, seem a bit foolish. Xuanwu and White Dragon exchanged a look.
However, it was fine. At least they had participated in this event that would surely go down in history. Holding back a Fifth-stage expert and a Venerable on the outside was considered significant!
* * *
“Alright, Little Feng, are you satisfied now?”
The Golden Skirt Woman showed Xia Feng the scene outside.
Xia Feng blinked and nodded vigorously, giving a thumbs-up. “Satisfied, satisfied! As expected of Sister Yi, you’re too powerful!”
“As long as Little Feng is willing to become the Eternal Day Holy Son, anything Sister is willing to do for you is only right.” The woman smiled, her tone lingering.
Xia Feng detected the implicit threat in her words and quickly patted his chest in assurance. “Don’t worry, Sister Yi. As soon as the people you send arrive, I will definitely go with them to… Burning Heaven Island. After all, Sister Yi is so nice, you wouldn’t hurt me, would you~”
“Naturally.”
“So, Sister Yi, can you do me another favor?”
“…”
Seeing her silence, Xia Feng sighed helplessly. “It’s true, we haven’t seen each other for so many years. It’s not right to ask for so much as soon as we meet. It’s understandable that Sister is unwilling to help…”
“…Speak.”
“Aren’t there the Snake-eyed Man and the Golden Man outside? Can you snatch… borrow all the Spiritual Materials from them?”
“…”
“Ahem, if it’s not possible, then forget it.”
“It’s not that it’s impossible.” The Golden Skirt Woman shook her head and smiled lightly. “It’s just that after not seeing each other for so many years, Little Feng, you’ve really changed a lot.”
Xia Feng pursed his lips and remained silent. He did remember that when he had not awakened his past life memories as a child, he was a carefree and foolish child.
Seeing Xia Feng’s silence, Gong Changyi smiled gently. She could feel that Xia Feng was still afraid of her, but he was no longer as easily fooled as he was in the past. Instead, he was constantly suppressing his fear and pretending to be affectionate, calling her sister intimately in an attempt to deceive her.
She had to admit, she liked this kind of Xia Feng even more! He was clearly afraid of her, yet he had to submit to her power and act close to her. This twisted and humiliating, yet awkward, acting made her recall the joy of bullying Xia Feng when they were children.
Lost in thought, the Golden Skirt Goddess waved her hand.
Suddenly, all the Spiritual Materials in the pockets of the Golden Man and Viper outside the castle levitated. The two were startled and were about to intercept them when they heard the clear, faint voice of the Eternal Day Goddess in their ears: “I have use for them.”
The Spiritual Materials instantly flew into the castle. The two looked at each other, wondering in confusion, wasn’t a divine-level confrontation happening inside the castle? What did the Eternal Day Goddess need their Spiritual Materials for?
Were these things useful for a divine-level duel?
To be honest, whether they were useful or not, they still felt a pang of pain, as these included Holy Solution Materials they had recently collected!
Inside the castle.
Xia Feng looked at the pile of Spiritual Materials floating before his eyes with some surprise.
“10 Tier 2 Spirit Treasure Fruits, 3 Tier 3 Spirit Treasure Fruits, 5ml Holy Solution, 3 Water Obsidians, 1 Golden Obsidian, 4 Water Obsidians…”
“How is it? Are you satisfied with these things?”
“Mmm, it’s okay.” Xia Feng quickly scanned them and, without changing his expression, put all the items into a bag and stored them.
In fact, he couldn’t be more satisfied. He could only say that as expected of a god-tier benefactor, she could casually “steal”… borrow so many good things with just a wave of her hand.
Among the three major Holy Solution materials, 100 elemental Obsidians of the corresponding attribute were needed. His elemental affinity was water, so the 4 Water Obsidians were clearly very important to him.
Combined with the 5ml of Holy Solution, he had already gathered 95ml of Holy Solution, bringing him one step closer to Holy Solution.
“So, Little Feng, do you have any other requests?”
“Uh…” Xia Feng coughed. “Not for now.”
“Alright, since you don’t have any, then Sister has a request.” The Golden Skirt Goddess’s eyes curved, smiling playfully.
