Chapter 177: The Great Dragon God
“What are your demands?”
Xia Feng’s current policy was to agree to any request first, and then consider whether to run away after the projection of the Eternal Day Goddess disappeared. As for the Eternal Day Holy Son, the benefits seemed generous, but he always felt that this eerie goddess was just painting a rosy picture for him. He might die the moment he landed on Burning Heaven Island.
However, seeing the golden-skirted woman smile, Xia Feng had a bad premonition.
“Come, lift your clothes.”
“Ah? This, isn’t it inappropriate?”
Gong Changyi ignored Xia Feng’s hesitation, directly reached out and lifted his hem, then gently placed her delicate hand on Xia Feng’s abs.
“This is the Eternal Day Mark. With this mark, no matter where Little Feng runs in the future, this Elder Sister can locate you.”
Xia Feng felt a cold sensation spreading from his abdomen, like countless fine needles piercing his core, a numbness mixed with intense pain. Xia Feng’s mind buzzed, and he subconsciously wanted to resist, but the woman’s ethereal voice echoed in his ears:
“This is this Elder Sister’s only request. Little Feng, you won’t even fulfill this small request from this Elder Sister?”
“…”
“Locate, locate me! I’m numb. There’s actually a tracking function. I know I have no right to refuse Gong Changyi right now, so I can only relax my spirit and let the woman’s divine mark embed itself deep within my consciousness, leaving its imprint.”
At the same time, a radiant golden ring symbol appeared on his abdomen, dimly visible.
Xia Feng frowned, staring at his abdomen. It seemed that after Gong Changyi left, he would need to find a way to destroy this divine mark. With it, he would be found by Gong Changyi even if he fled to the ends of the earth, which was very troublesome.
But this was a mark carved by a god; who could deal with it?
As this thought crossed his mind, the image of Miss Evil Dragon flashed in his mind. Yes! In fact, he didn’t need to panic at all. As long as the Great Dragon God was there, this mere Eternal Day Goddess wouldn’t be able to make much of a splash.
Xia Feng decided to find Miss Evil Dragon to inquire about the situation after the Eternal Day Goddess returned to the Astral Realm.
“What are you thinking about?” Suddenly, a serene female voice sounded beside his ear. Xia Feng was startled and snapped back to reality, looking up.
He saw that the elegant and exquisite little face of the Eternal Day Goddess had somehow moved close to him. Her long eyelashes were lowered, but her gaze, as if tangible, was fixed directly on Xia Feng.
Gong Changyi could clearly sense that Xia Feng’s emotions had momentarily ceased to fear her. This made her somewhat puzzled.
“What were you thinking about?”
“What?” Xia Feng was stunned, then a sincere smile curved his lips. “Nothing, really. I was just thinking about heading to Burning Heaven Island as soon as possible and seeing you every day!”
“Is that so?”
“Yes~”
The golden-skirted woman smiled. She knew Xia Feng was trying to fool her again, but it didn’t matter. To prevent Little Feng from escaping, she had poured all the divine power of this projection into the divine mark. There were few in this world who could destroy it, and she didn’t believe Xia Feng could find a way to escape her grasp within half a month.
“Alright, Little Feng, this projection of this Elder Sister’s divine power is exhausted and cannot remain in the mortal world any longer.”
The golden-skirted goddess, like she was treating a child, gently rubbed Xia Feng’s head with her delicate hand. “This Elder Sister is leaving now~ See you in half a month.”
“…”
“Leaving?” Xia Feng’s expression froze. The woman’s golden skirt slowly dispersed into spiritual light, and her body began to vanish from the bottom up, as if being erased by an eraser.
Seeing this, Xia Feng let out a “heh” and couldn’t be bothered to pretend anymore. He slapped away the woman’s hand, stepped back, and stared at her with a forced smile.
Gong Changyi was startled. She didn’t expect Xia Feng to be so shameless, going from calling her “Elder Sister” one moment to losing all pretense the next! She frowned slightly, annoyedly reaching out to Xia Feng again, but her divine power could no longer sustain the projection’s existence. Her arm dispersed into starlight before Xia Feng’s eyes.
Hum—The entire enchanting divine body vanished into the starlight.
In the empty hall, only the serene divine voice echoed with a light laugh:
“Not bad, very good! You’ve improved, my good little brother. But you only have half a month to run away~”
“Tch~” Xia Feng pouted and stepped into Naraka’s Between.
As the Eternal Day Goddess’s aura disappeared, the four people outside were stunned for a moment, but no one dared to move. After standing still for a full three seconds, Golden Man finally reacted, thinking, ‘Did the Peach Organization send the Eternal Day Goddess back to the Astral Realm?’
At the same time, Jiang Li suddenly awoke from his coma, leaped up, and rushed out of the castle.
“Jiang Li, what exactly happened inside?” Seeing Jiang Li emerge, Viper asked irritably.
“I don’t know,” Jiang Li said, bewildered, covering his head and cursing, “Damn it, my memory was tampered with. When I woke up, everyone was gone! Archbishop, that old man, was lying dead next to me…”
He didn’t actually know much about what happened after the Goddess descended. He only sensed the command from the Eternal Day Goddess after waking up: First, he was forbidden from revealing the Eternal Day Holy Son’s identity, or he would die. Second, he was to monitor the Eternal Day Holy Son’s movements and protect him, preventing his accidental death, or he would die.
Hearing Jiang Li’s lack of information, Golden Man and Viper exchanged grim glances.
“Withdraw!” With a deep voice, the three of them vanished on the spot and fled.
Xuanwu and White Dragon didn’t bother to pursue the three. After a moment of silence, Xuanwu shook his head helplessly. ‘The Peach Organization always does the work that our Holy Department should be doing, leaving us to just spectate. I’m almost too numb to be surprised; I’m accustomed to this kind of thing.’
“Let’s go, it’s time for us to clean up the battlefield.”
* * *
Through a short teleportation in Naraka’s Between, Xia Feng and the other two silently left the castle. After quickly going to the Underground Laboratory to release Jiang Zhizi and the others, the three of them also quietly left the garden.
Not long after, the garden area was completely sealed off by the Holy Department. Not only were the roads around Yuanhe Town swarming with military and Holy Department troops, but the entire Junlin City, and even the whole of District 51, were illuminated.
This night was destined to be sleepless.
But this was no longer Xia Feng’s concern. After returning to the city, the three of them went their separate ways. Mu Qingtong said she had harvested a lot of Green Bone Glaze in the garden, which was very helpful for her experiments, and she needed to stay up late to conduct them, a plan Xia Feng wholeheartedly supported. Cha Nai Xue mentioned that the Black Moon Holy See was about to join forces with the Element Holy See to activate the ‘Miracle Star River,’ meaning she would be very busy and asked Xia Feng not to bother her.
Xia Feng didn’t know what the ‘Miracle Star River’ was, nor did he bother to ask the narcissistic woman further, and quickly returned home.
Preparing the materials, setting up the formation, chanting the incantation, and activating the World Gate—it was all done in one go! This was the third time he had entered the Evil Dragon Space since the Dragon God awakened.
Beneath the World Tree, the star-skirt woman leaned quietly against the armrest of her divine seat, a thick book in her arms. Her delicate fingers gently turned the pages, her head bowed in concentration.
However, to Xia Feng’s surprise, even astonishment—standing beside the divine seat was a woman who looked exactly like Miss Evil Dragon.
Sensing Xia Feng’s arrival, the woman slowly turned her head to look at him.
