Chapter 452: 452 Mr. Xia, I like you
Xia Feng initially thought that Mu Qingtong would be able to discover his resurrection through image teleportation.
Unexpectedly, it seemed that because he was in the Nightmare Realm, Mu Qingtong still couldn’t sense his existence.
“It seems this newly developed Azure Bone Chasing Technique is still a bit weak,” Xia Feng muttered to himself. However, when Mu Qingtong suddenly opened her eyes, her calm gaze turned back to him, and she uttered those two sentences.
Xia Feng’s heart skipped a beat. “Eh?”
Di Si, looking down from above, keenly noticed the astonishment in her believer’s eyes. Her dangerous vertical pupils constricted, and she narrowed them, releasing the believer’s thin lips. “What are you doing?”
Xia Feng came back to his senses, shook his head, and calmly said, “Nothing, I just saw some scenes through a tracking technique. Lord Dragon God, you wouldn’t be interested.”
“A lie.”
The first half was the truth, and the latter half was a lie. The star-skirt woman frowned, her divine eyes seeming to pierce through people’s hearts.
Soon, she realized that the spirit robe the believer was currently using was a type that projected gaze through one’s own bones.
When the believer had died before, she had brought the believer’s remaining skull fragments before Mu Qingtong and asked the witch to keep them.
However, since the believer was resurrected later, she couldn’t be bothered to find a way to retrieve the skull.
So, it was obvious. Was the believer currently using a tracking spirit robe to secretly meet with the witch?
“That is to say, when I was punishing and kissing him just now, this believer was not only thinking of the witch in his heart, but also seeing that Evil Witch in front of him?!”
The Dragon God: “!!!!!!”
Thinking of this, below the forehead where the dark gold cross command sword flickered, those majestic vertical pupils directly shrank into slender silver needles, the tips sharp and emitting a cold light.
Xia Feng’s body hairs stood on end, and he thought, “This is bad.”
“My believer, the witch is in front of you, right?”
“…!”
“To be so absent-minded and disrespectful while accepting my punishment, Xia Feng, I am truly going to get angry.”
“I didn’t… mmph~~!”
It was the taste of a lie. She fiercely blocked this taste and bit down.
“My believer, are you seeing me now, or that witch?”
“!”
Due to the Dragon God’s attack, Xia Feng’s vision became somewhat unstable.
Miss Evil Dragon’s face and Miss Mu’s appearance overlapped, creating a double vision, making him feel dazed.
He tried his best to ignore the sensation on his lips, quickly stabilized his vision, and saw Miss Mu’s cool and aloof face again.
However, Miss Evil Dragon’s pale vertical pupils occasionally appeared in Miss Mu’s golden eyes, making Xia Feng feel quite eerie.
The glass pillar was very high. The skull suspended in the center of the pedestal was only a few centimeters shorter than the black-dressed woman.
The woman’s delicate fingers gently stroked the edge of the skull’s cheekbones, her beautiful eyes gazing intently, as if she could truly see Xia Feng’s face.
Mr. Xia had asked her four times, “Do you like me?”
The first time was when she discovered that Mr. Xia’s abdomen was branded with an evil tattoo by the Dragon God, and they were discussing the duties Mr. Xia should fulfill as a fiancé. Xia Feng tried to coax her into saying, “I like Mr. Xia.”
The second time was before they were about to dual cultivate using the Yin-Yang Mirror.
The third time was after she accepted the Evil Dragon’s challenge and came out of the Place of Seal.
The fourth time, and the last time…
In the chaotic Spacetime Turbulence, the guy’s chest was pierced by a long sword.
When he looked up at her, his black eyes still held anticipation, “Miss Mu, do you like me?”
Unfortunately, everything happened too fast. The explosion in the Spacetime Turbulence directly annihilated everything, and also annihilated that face that was still smiling even before death.
As for Mr. Xia’s question, Mu Qingtong had already found the answer in her heart long ago.
The word “like” could have many interpretations, such as love, family affection, friendship, pet love, possessiveness…
But for her, the emotion between her and Mr. Xia was more of…
A fellow-creature’s affection.
That’s right, it was like this!
Mu Qingtong admitted that she did like Mr. Xia. But it was more about discovering a fellow creature that appealed to her on her journey to seek strength, experiencing surprise and joy, and then developing a good feeling for this fellow creature after going through certain things together.
And this good feeling was a liking for a fellow creature—
It was distinct from love, family affection, friendship, and even possessiveness—a fellow-creature’s affection.
Considering that very few people in this world would develop such an emotion, Mu Qingtong decided to name this emotion—”Tong Qing” (Mu Qingtong’s affection).
Because of this, Mu Qingtong finally understood what she regretted.
She indeed regretted not being cautious enough and accidentally letting Mr. Xia die for her.
But what she regretted even more was not saying the words she had already answered to Mr. Xia.
“Mr. Xia, now, I can answer you.”
Xia Feng’s black pupils narrowed slightly, his heart couldn’t help but race, and he gazed quietly at these light gold beautiful eyes that seemed to be right before him.
Miss Mu’s cool pupils now held too many emotions, including confusion, sadness, anger, and regret. Her delicate fingers touched his face, and her red lips parted, as if whispering before his lips:
“Mr. Xia, I like you.”
!
Xia Feng: “!!!!!!!”
Di Si noticed that her believer’s heart rate had reached an unprecedented high. Her black eyes widened in shock, contracting and expanding.
Clearly, it was something the witch had said to the believer that made him so excited! Di Si’s needle-like dangerous vertical pupils flickered with a hint of annoyance, and her offensive attacks became even more fierce.
“Bad believer! Bad believer! Bad believer!!”
Xia Feng felt suffocated, but he was already skilled at handling this.
Ignoring Miss Evil Dragon’s kiss again, he looked thoughtfully at the black-dressed woman who had confessed to him.
His heart was greatly stirred!
“Hehehehe~ Miss Mu, I finally waited for these words!”
The reason he paid close attention to Mu Qingtong’s situation was to see if Mu Qingtong would say something embarrassing in front of his inanimate skull.
His efforts were rewarded. Mu Qingtong not only said it but also chose the most embarrassing sentence.
This undoubtedly represented that his “love battle” against Miss Mu had achieved phased success!
It was a pity that he couldn’t use any props to record Mu Qingtong’s confession just now.
However, it didn’t really matter.
Because his memory was the most powerful recording method.
There must be spirit robes or spirit artifacts in this world that had the function of recalling memory scenes.
At that time…
“Hehehehe~” He chuckled inwardly, and Xia Feng had already begun to look forward to the moment he reunited with Miss Mu.
At that time, he would directly throw this memory footage in Miss Mu’s face, cross his arms, laugh wildly, and mock her, making this Evil Witch who had humiliated him many times completely embarrassed!
“Tsk tsk, what would Miss Mu’s reaction be then?”
Thinking of this, Xia Feng’s smile was harder to suppress than an AK.
“Mr. Xia, I like you,” Mu Qingtong murmured again. Unfortunately, the skull in front of her was just an inanimate object and could not answer her.
It was also impossible for it to hear her words.
Because of this, she said it again.
“Mr. Xia.”
“I like you…”
