Chapter 286. Catalyst
Mr. Xia’s divine being behind him was an extremely mysterious existence. Mu Qingtong still couldn’t guess her identity. She frowned as she watched Xia Feng swiftly set up the formation, then suddenly asked, “Is this divine being female?”
“…” Xia Feng glanced at her. “Miss Mu, we are currently in an argument.”
“Saved,” her pretty, slender eyebrows knitted together.
“Then let’s reload the save.” Xia Feng smiled slightly, extending his hands to pinch and knead the soft flesh on the silver-haired woman’s face with great effort, completing the manual save reload. Mu Qingtong’s brow indeed furrowed. Her eyes looked displeased, and just as she was about to say something, Xia Feng’s spirit body began to float and disappear into the small teleportation portal.
The black-haired man below had his pupils instantly become vacant, and his hands fell with a clatter.
“You…” Mu Qingtong’s voice cut off abruptly. After staring at Xia Feng for a moment, she also reached out and vigorously rubbed his cheek. Unfortunately, Mr. Xia’s gaze was vacant, and he showed no reaction.
“Tsk~” Mu Qingtong felt bored.

Under the World Tree.
Xia Feng reappeared here, feeling as if a lifetime had passed. Although it was the same as always, the World Tree’s canopy covered the sky and the sun, the pale giant dragon in the center of its trunk still held its majestic head high, with inextinguishable azure flames swirling around. The divine seat was embedded in the center at the base of the tree, and the star-skirt woman sat with her eyes closed. Di Si was as usual, her hands resting elegantly on her knees, with crystal white dragon scales adorning the upturned left eye corner of her exquisite little face, which was both alluring and sacred. The dark gold cross command sword between her eyebrows exuded a sacred, inviolable aura. Her slightly curved eyelids were lowered, as if she were dozing elegantly on her divine seat.
Sensing the disturbance, she slowly opened her eyes. Her majestic, indifferent pale vertical pupils glanced at Xia Feng, paused, and then she spoke calmly in a deep voice, “My believer, you broke your promise.” Xia Feng had said last time that he would come in every day, and if something came up, it would be at most seven or eight days. But he hadn’t expected an accident.
“I apologize, Lord Dragon God. A lot has happened in the past month, so I was delayed a bit—”
“Come forward,” her faint command interrupted his words before he could finish speaking. Xia Feng was stunned. He keenly sensed that Miss Evil Dragon seemed a bit not right? But he couldn’t figure out what was wrong.
Puzzled, Xia Feng slowly stepped forward and approached the divine seat, his gaze meeting her slightly raised, majestic vertical pupils.
Rustle—
Just then, he noticed out of the corner of his eye a dragon tail quietly emerge from under the star skirt, seeming to intend to reach for him, but then it abruptly retracted back into the skirt along his fair ankles and disappeared.
“…” Ever since Di Si had found various excuses to forcefully kiss him last time, Xia Feng understood that this Lord Dragon God was a hypocritical idiot woman, using all sorts of clumsy excuses to hide her evil desires. So, it seemed, Miss Evil Dragon’s reproductive desire had increased again? He had to admit that he had indeed been frightened by Miss Evil Dragon’s kiss last time; it was even more violent than Mu Qingtong’s. When Miss Evil Dragon exerted herself, Xia Feng had felt like he was going to die several times, which was terrifying. Therefore, today was a sage’s game, and Xia Feng decided not to provoke Miss Evil Dragon, but to have a normal conversation as a believer and a god.
However, when he walked close to the divine seat, Miss Evil Dragon merely pursed her lips and stared at him silently, not speaking. After a long silence, Xia Feng felt a bit helpless. After thinking for a moment, he knelt on one knee, looked up, and spoke first in a respectful, deep voice, “Lord Dragon God, I have found a clue about the Origin Egg.”
Di Si was slightly taken aback. The lightly trembling dragon tail hidden beneath her star skirt retracted again, then wound around her slender, fair legs, tightening further. The fluffy white tail tip slid up her rounded thigh, approaching her leg root. She pursed her lips with a blank expression, her pale vertical pupils looking down at the man kneeling respectfully before her knees, her thighs beneath the star skirt pressed tightly together. She had just finished writing in her diary and lay down, enduring the invasion of pain and desire. She had thought today her believer still wouldn’t come, but it hadn’t been long… Suddenly, she sensed a disturbance in space. Her heart was filled with joy, and she quickly got up and sat properly on the divine seat before her believer arrived. But she hadn’t expected this believer to not be in a hurry to absorb Calamity Force today, and even needed her to order him to approach the divine seat.
“Lord Dragon God, Lord Dragon God? Are you listening?” The man’s confused call brought her scattered thoughts back. Her vertical pupils were indifferent, and she said softly, “Yes, a clue about the Origin Egg? Tell me.”
Xia Feng nodded and took the Origin Water out of his Nascent Ten Space. He thought, since the Origin Egg could help Miss Evil Dragon suppress her reproductive desire, perhaps this Origin Water could too? After all, it was only one word difference… If it worked, he would have performed a great service, and he imagined the generous Miss Evil Dragon would reward him handsomely!
“Lord Dragon God, this Origin Water is the reason I haven’t been here for the past month.”
! Xia Feng looked up and smiled confidently, “I imagine this item should be very helpful to you, Lord Dragon God, right?”
“…” The moment Di Si saw the Origin Water, her pale vertical pupils froze, and her pupils contracted abnormally. “You—” she was about to tell her believer to take the Origin Water back, but it was too late.
The brilliant golden water drop seemed to sense something. Its light bloomed, and points of sacred golden radiance scattered like stars, entering her pale vertical pupils. Di Si couldn’t help but let out a low hum, her majestic voice carrying a hint of seduction, soft and mellow, making Xia Feng’s scalp tingle and his throat feel a bit dry.
[Pain Level: 140 Million | Desire: 58.76%]
[Desire +0.1%]
[Pain Level: 140 Million | Desire: 58.86%]
Di Si clenched her fists, her divine eyes closed, feeling like she was going crazy. Her well-controlled desire value had directly surged by 0.1 percentage points, like a tightly closed gap suddenly being squeezed open a tiny crack, with wisps of fluid about to overflow, causing unbearable itching.
“…Lord Dragon God, are you alright?” Xia Feng felt something was wrong. Had he done more harm than good with his good intentions?
“I’m fine!” Di Si gritted her teeth, pressing her legs together tightly beneath the star skirt, leaving no gap. She took a deep breath, slowly opened her eyes, her vertical pupils majestic, “I’m fine.”
Xia Feng sensed that the Origin Water had affected Lord Dragon God and asked doubtfully, “Should I take back this Origin Water then…”
“No need,” the star-skirt woman shook her head. “I’ve already absorbed the catalytic property within it, so taking it back is useless.”
“Catalytic property?”
“Yes, the Origin Water has two core functions. Besides being able to dissolve all sealing formations, it can also nourish and promote the growth of ‘Origin-type vegetation,’ so it also has an aphrodisiac effect that can influence divine beings, especially dragons…”
Oh, so that was its function? Xia Feng helplessly put his hand to his forehead. He hadn’t expected the Origin Water to have the opposite effect of the Origin Egg.
Swoosh—
At this moment, Xia Feng felt his ankle suddenly tighten. He lowered his head in confusion, only to see that the fluffy white tail tip had, at some unknown point, emerged from the sheer star skirt and coiled around his ankle. The tip of the tail, like a water snake spitting out apricot seeds, began to climb upwards along his lower leg.
