Chapter 451: Mu Qingtong’s Confession
After comprehending the Azure Bone Chasing Technique, Mu Qingtong took out two palm-sized compasses.
The surface of the compasses was adorned with twelve mysterious stars, and several pointers moved and intertwined.
This was the Shadow-Connecting Compass, which could project the scene around the Subordinate Compass onto the Main Compass in real-time, thus achieving the effect of long-distance surveillance.
The reason Mu Qingtong improved the Azure Bone Tracking Technique to enable it to teleport non-living objects was to try and teleport this compass.
She wanted to see where Mr. Xia was.
Or perhaps, to see if Mr. Xia was truly dead.
Mu Qingtong’s beautiful eyes were calm as she placed her palm on the top of the pale skull.
The two compasses in her hand immediately floated into the air.
The Subordinate Compass vibrated and hummed, and as a dark vortex lit up at the center of the skull, the Subordinate Compass was directly sucked into it.
The moment Xia Feng saw this, his scalp tingled, and his heart leaped into his throat. He struggled against the wrist held by the Star-skirt woman, but he was unable to move at all.
Xia Feng’s black eyes widened. Miss Evil Dragon’s high jade nose and dignified vertical pupils formed a perfect and bewitching silhouette, and the soft voice that emanated from her lips was both serious and alluring.
“Believer, do you know your mistake?” Beneath the starry skirt, the tip of the cute tail wrapped around Xia Feng’s ankle twitched slightly.
“I—” Xia Feng’s nerves were tense, and he was about to admit his mistake and beg this Evil Dragon to let him go.
But as soon as the low voice left his lips, he froze.
It was because the Subordinate Compass did not seem to have teleported to him.
Seeing this, Xia Feng breathed a sigh of relief and suddenly remembered something. He activated the Tracking Technique again, and his vision shifted.
His vision shifted to a dark secret chamber.
In the darkness, nine indigo chains intertwined to form a spherical cage, surrounding him layer by layer in his infant state, trapping him within.
At this moment, above the infant’s head, the Subordinate Compass appeared out of thin air and leaped out. As it spun rapidly, light overflowed from its central hole, illuminating the area.
At the same time, in the laboratory, the Main Compass above the skull also rotated clockwise, and a three-dimensional virtual image unfolded.
Mu Qingtong’s delicate eyebrows furrowed slightly, and she looked at the secret chamber-like space and the infant suspended in the center of it with doubt.
“What is this…” As she clearly saw the infant’s face, her beautiful eyes narrowed.
Mu Qingtong did not recognize this infant, but from its bone structure, it was Xia Feng?
After all, she had studied Mr. Xia’s physiological structure for hundreds or thousands of times, so she was naturally very familiar with his skeletal structure. Even in the infant stage before his bones had begun to develop, she could recognize him.
However, looking at the infant’s state, without a soul or consciousness, it was clearly just an empty shell.
She glanced at the plush baby crib beneath the infant, which was constantly supplying energy, and immediately understood that someone had used some special method to cultivate a physical body for Mr. Xia.
This was not what she wanted to see.
She wanted to see a living Mr. Xia! Not a dead one like this.
“Crack—”
At this moment, a crack appeared in the center of the Subordinate Compass, and it immediately turned into smoke and dispersed.
Mu Qingtong lost her vision.
In the Holy See, Jiang Qiue looked down at the secret chamber scene in the mirror, a satisfied expression flashing in her ethereal, beautiful eyes.
As she had expected, there were indeed some strange methods in this world that she did not know about, which could bypass her layers of blockade and enter the secret chamber.
But unfortunately, she, Jiang Qiue, was still one step ahead.
However, it seemed that her blockade methods still had significant loopholes, and she needed to find a way to fix them so that the little thief who was trying to steal her treasure could never enter again!
In addition, realizing that there was indeed a mysterious person coveting her treasure, Jiang Qiue’s sense of insecurity surged again, which made her feel very uncomfortable. Therefore, to be on the safe side, she decided to spare no expense and use one of her tails to create a fox-tail clone to guard her treasure day and night, ensuring absolute safety!
“Teacher, Teacher?”
A questioning low voice brought her thoughts back. Jiang Qiue glanced at the three people standing below the steps.
The surroundings were an outward manifestation of an A-class Spirit Particle Structure, like a sea of stars. Two men and one woman stood within.
These three people were all her students.
“That’s all for today’s class. You can go back now.” Jiang Qiue waved her hand and turned to leave.
She was not one for procrastination. Since she had decided to be more cautious, she would act immediately.
Time waits for no one.

Mu Qingtong did not pay too much attention to the damage to the Subordinate Compass. However, she still found no evidence that Mr. Xia was alive this time, which made her delicate eyebrows furrow even tighter.
She lowered her head, propped herself up with both hands on the glass high pedestal, closed her beautiful eyes, and let out a deep breath, her curved eyelids trembling slightly.
“Crack—Crack—”
Fine cracks appeared on the glass high pedestal, constructed from special materials, and quickly spread.
!
Mu Qingtong could not believe that her lifelong rival, the one destined to be conquered by her, could have just died like this?
It should not be, and it could not be!
But it had been more than three months.
No matter what method she used, she could not find any proof that Mr. Xia was still alive.
All the clues were telling her that that bastard named Xia, who always liked to provoke her, was really dead!
She actually understood.
She had been deceiving herself for the past three months.
The death of her kind made her angry, confused, and even fearful. It made her unwilling to believe everything that was happening now.
It also caused unprecedented turmoil in her heart, but she had always suppressed these negative emotions that should not have existed, unwilling to face them.
Or rather.
She dared not face them.
The facts proved that Mr. Xia was indeed her only weakness, making her truly feel what fear and hatred were. She felt all the emotions that a human should have.
Among them was.
Regret.
Although she didn’t really know. What was she regretting?
Perhaps it was regret that she hadn’t detected Mr. Xia’s hidden methods back then, otherwise, Mr. Xia wouldn’t have died taking a knife for her.
She had planned to use the Empire’s assassination of Sirius as an opportunity to stage a grand and tragic drama, using her own death as a basis to completely trap Mr. Xia in the love cage she had meticulously planned!
But.
Plans are always beautiful.
The reality was that before the plan could even begin, the wrong person had died.
This made her duel with Mr. Xia, her idea of making Mr. Xia completely surrender, seem somewhat ridiculous.
“Crackling—”
The cylindrical glass high pedestal continued to crack, centered on the fingertips of the black-dressed woman.
The cracks gradually spread across the entire glass surface, causing the pedestal to sway unstably, as if it might shatter at any moment.
Mu Qingtong raised her eyelids slightly, her light gold pupils as calm as a secluded lake, and silently stared at the human skull suspended above the high pedestal, gazing into its empty sockets and cheekbones.
“Mr. Xia, didn’t you often ask me if I liked you?”
She suddenly spoke, her cool, light gold beautiful eyes lowered slightly, and her voice was soft.
“Now, I can answer you.”
