Chapter 245. Mr. Xia’s Lips
[Reason -5]
A mocking, eerie laughter, as if from the underworld, echoed in her mind. In a daze, Mu Qingtong saw Mr. Xia, dressed in white, appear in the distance. His eyes were vacant, a smile on his face as he looked at her, then he suddenly raised a knife and slit his own throat. His head fell to the ground, and terror and blood bloomed in Mu Qingtong’s vision.
Mu Qingtong feared nothing. If she had to pick something to be afraid of, it would only be Xia Feng’s death. She couldn’t imagine how boring her life would become if Mr. Xia died. However, this suicidal Mr. Xia before her didn’t stir any emotion in her; it was too fake. With her extremely high mental power, she wouldn’t be disturbed by such an illogical and boring illusion.
Shaking her head, she lowered her gaze, only to gasp in astonishment. Lying beneath her, the real Xia Feng’s head was impaled by a sharp stone spike, piercing from the back of his skull to his forehead. He lay sprawled among the rocks in the jungle, his black eyes wide open and vacant, staring at her with a hint of dim sorrow.
“!!!” Mu Qingtong’s breath hitched, her thoughts instantly becoming chaotic. No, there was still the Vermilion Bird Demonic Armor! But… the Vermilion Bird Demonic Armor required active use, and Xia Feng was unconscious, unable to activate it! So, was he really dead?
The thought flashed through her mind, and her unfocused pupils snapped back to focus! She lowered her eyelids again. The Mr. Xia beneath her had his eyes quietly closed, his face serene, and no sign of a piercing trauma on his forehead.
Mu Qingtong: “…”
[Reason -5]
She let out a muffled groan, her body no longer able to support itself, and collapsed onto Xia Feng. The process of Calamity Force Erosion not only interfered with the soul and consciousness, driving reason, intelligence, and emotions to the brink of collapse, but also had a chance to affect bodily functions. Mu Qingtong never expected to fall victim to Calamity Force Erosion herself.
Unfortunately, resisting Calamity Force Erosion required not only strong mental power but also a sufficiently high Spirit Pressure tier. With her current Spirit Pressure tier, in this abnormally outrageous concentration of Calamity Force, she couldn’t hold out for long.
However, Mu Qingtong didn’t give up. In a daze, she concentrated her will and felt beneath her. As expected, although the surrounding Calamity Force mist surged towards them, the mist rushing towards Mr. Xia actually fled in the opposite direction, forming whirlpools on the ground. The mist seemed excited, like a cat spotting a mouse, but upon nearing, it realized it wasn’t a mouse but a tiger, turning and fleeing in panic. This Calamity Force feared Xia Feng, afraid of being devoured by him. Mu Qingtong had known for a long time that Mr. Xia could devour Calamity Force and wasn’t afraid of it. She just never knew how.
[Contemplation 0.03 seconds, you have comprehended C-class Spirit Robe · Soul Blood Chain at extreme speed]
[C · Soul Blood Chain]
[Consumes Mental Power to create a Soul Blood Chain. After linking with the target’s soul, the souls merge, and all negative states of you and the target will be shared and can be transferred.]
Without hesitation, the moment she comprehended the Spirit Robe, Mu Qingtong invaded Xia Feng’s mind and thrust the blood-red chain deep within. A blood-red pattern flickered between their brows. Mu Qingtong, her delicate hand on the white-clothed man’s shoulder, pushed herself up slightly. She looked up, and Xia Feng still had his eyes lowered, sleeping peacefully.
Feeling groggy, Mu Qingtong reached out and directly pulled open Xia Feng’s collar, roughly tearing it down.
*Riiip—*
The clothes ripped, tearing down to his chest. She could sense that Xia Feng’s chest seemed to be the center of the Calamity Force mist’s fear; the mist around his heart fled particularly quickly. Shaking her head, her smooth silver hair cascaded down. She leaned down, pressing her cool, aloof little face against the man’s chest. His firm, warm chest made her chilling cheeks feel slightly more comfortable.
Through the Soul Blood Chain, the dark gray mist that had invaded Mu Qingtong’s soul flowed out from her red lips and into the white-clothed man’s chest.
*Thump-thump—Thump-thump!*
Her heart seemed to beat faster with excitement as the Calamity Force entered. Seeing this, Mu Qingtong accelerated her actions. However, she soon found this method to be too inefficient. After a moment of thought, Mu Qingtong frowned and looked up, a package appearing out of thin air in her hand. She had taken Berna’s package when she killed him earlier. It contained various elemental Spirit materials, including two Tier Four wood-attribute Spirit materials. Coupled with the Spirit materials she had collected before, she now only needed one more item, [Tier Four Spirit Material · Simukui], to gather the eight required Spirit materials for a Tier Four promotion.
Besides that, there were also 5 Life Fruits, 61 Wisdom Fruits, 4 Tier Two Spirit Treasure Fruits, and 4 Tier Three Spirit Treasure Fruits. With the 61 Wisdom Fruits plus the 36 she carried with her, she had almost 100 Wisdom Fruits in total. Mu Qingtong quickly crushed and absorbed 40 Wisdom Fruits, restoring her Reason points to a full 100. But in the next second, it dropped to 90.
!
At the same time.
[At the critical moment, with extreme comprehension, you have further optimized the transmission speed of the Soul Blood Chain—]
[C · Soul Blood Chain]
[After linking with the target’s soul, all negative states of you and the target will be shared and can be transmitted. The deeper and more compatible the physical and soul merging, the better the transmission effect.]
Without further delay, the black-dressed woman pressed her delicate hand on Xia Feng’s chest, leaned down, and bit his side neck. She wrapped her arms around the white-clothed man’s waist, pulling him close, while simultaneously accelerating the Calamity Force transmission with her mouth. Pumping the Calamity Force into Mr. Xia’s bloodstream was significantly faster.
And so, in the dim jungle where no one could notice, the wicked black-dressed witch lay upon the unconscious white-clothed man, acting without restraint.
“Uh—”
His eyelids twitched slightly, and Xia Feng let out a muffled groan, arching his neck. The woman in black on him stiffened, frozen for a long time, afraid to move. Mu Qingtong released her bite, looked up slightly, her beautiful eyes narrowed, and calmly looked down at Mr. Xia’s face. He wasn’t waking up; it seemed to be a conditioned reflex after being bitten on the neck.
Seeing this, Mu Qingtong pursed her lips, removed her half-frame gold-rimmed glasses, and a strand of silver hair fell onto her cheek. She looked down again. Mr. Xia’s skin condition was still good, his Adam’s apple prominent, but the skin on his neck possessed the toughness of a Tier Four Spirit Master, making it difficult to bite through. Often, as soon as she broke the skin and pierced a blood vessel, transferring a bit of Calamity Force, his strong Physique would start repairing the vessel and healing the wound. This caused Mu Qingtong’s delicate eyebrows to furrow. No matter what position she tried or how much force she used, Xia Feng’s injuries healed quickly. Using a Spirit Robe attack could cause necrotic damage, but in this environment, she didn’t want to waste any Spirit Particle amount.
Lost in thought, the black-dressed woman’s beautiful eyes shifted from his jaw to Mr. Xia’s thin lips, which parted slightly and were breathing evenly. Mr. Xia’s mouth was very annoying, always saying things that made her want to punch him. Mu Qingtong reached out and gently hooked the man’s jaw. Her golden eyes, looking down from above, quietly stared at Xia Feng’s closed, sleeping eyes. Below his arched nose, his lips were clearly defined. Although the current situation was desperate, Mr. Xia likely wouldn’t hold it against her too much. But if she could avoid him knowing… it would be best if he didn’t know!
