Chapter 456: Mu & Dragon’s Hell Difficulty
He Jianzhu had a mature and gentle temperament. Her voice was soft, and as Xia Feng looked down at her pretty golden eyes, fluttering with confusion, she tilted her head, making Xia Feng find her surprisingly cute and a little naive.
Xia Feng’s expression remained unchanged. He shook his head, “Jian Zhu, whether we’ve kissed or not isn’t the point.”
“What I mean to say is, we are husband and wife, and both were once believers of a supreme deity.”
“Now, you’ve left the divine faith for some special reason. Since we’ve reunited, why not return to the faith with me?” Xia Feng also felt that this explanation was not only absurd but also very risky.
But this was all what Miss Evil Dragon had instructed him to say, claiming it was to test He Jianzhu.
He Jianzhu: “…”
“Is that so?” She gently stroked Xia Feng’s face with her soft, delicate hand, her beautiful eyes smiling warmly. “Then, husband, how should I return to the divine faith?”
Seeing that she still didn’t question him, Xia Feng understood that his lie was completely unconvincing. This woman clearly hadn’t believed a single word.
However, since they had come this far, Xia Feng still took out the disguised Dragon God Token. A golden miniature sword, about the length of a finger, emerged from between his eyebrows and hovered between the two of them.
“You just need to accept the contract of this token.”
The golden miniature sword, emitting a sacred radiance, reflected in He Jianzhu’s exceptionally beautiful light-gold pupils. She pondered for a moment, then sighed:
“This must be the legendary Dragon God Token. I never expected to see it here.”
Indeed, from beginning to end, He Jianzhu had never believed Xia Feng’s riddled nonsense. But she didn’t mind playing along with this brat.
For beings like He Jianzhu, each clone had its own mission, and one of hers was—to make Xia Feng develop a liking, or even love, for He Jianzhu!
However, it seemed this mission might be a bit difficult to complete.
Because she had already deduced their true relationship.
Previously, when she claimed to be He Jianzhu, although Xia Feng quickly regained his composure and maintained a poker face, his expression was noticeably awkward and flustered for a moment. It was the kind of socially awkward embarrassment one felt when caught by an elder doing something wrong.
This indicated that to this brat, she was an elder figure he couldn’t behave inappropriately with, an elder-type of opposite sex.
Furthermore, judging by Xia Feng’s attentive attitude towards Miss Mu, Miss Mu Qingtong should not be his female slave but rather someone in a close relationship, like a girlfriend.
If all these deductions were correct, then the conclusion was obvious. Did Xia Feng’s previous lie actually contain some truth, such as Miss Mu Qingtong being his daughter?
If so, it would explain why the brat mistook her identity when he saw her, as Miss Mu Qingtong looked exactly like her. It also explained why, when she stated her true name, the brat was awkward and bewildered, and obediently let go under her reprimand.
What a bold, audacious brat.
However, what truly surprised her was that she actually had a daughter?
This matter shouldn’t have been part of He Jianzhu’s mission.
But judging by Miss Mu Qingtong’s appearance and how she looked identical to her younger self, it could be inferred that the birth of this daughter was likely not through conventional means, and might have even formed in a way that exceeded her expectations.
Not necessarily a real daughter.
Of course, that wasn’t the main point.
The current focus was that this so-called daughter named Mu Qingtong should be the brat’s girlfriend.
This undoubtedly severely hindered her mission of “making Xia Feng develop a liking, or even love, for He Jianzhu.”
Fortunately, the definition of liking and love was very broad.
It could be romantic love, or it could be familial affection.
Was there anything wrong with her gaining the brat’s affection as a mother-in-law?
Nothing wrong! Or, it wouldn’t be wrong to kill this unexpected being named Mu Qingtong, who appeared outside the mission’s scope.
Although He Jianzhu had been maintaining eye contact and conversing with Xia Feng, seemingly not noticing the star-skirt woman floating beside them.
However, Di Si was already aware.
“She can see me.”
“Hm?” Xia Feng was taken aback. He glanced at Miss Evil Dragon, then back at the silver-haired woman’s calm expression.
“Not only can you see me, but you can also hear me speak,” Di Si said, her vertical pupils serene.
“…” He Jianzhu pursed her lips, her beautiful eyes showing a hint of helplessness. She turned her head to meet the vertical pupils of the star-skirt woman. “Pale Di Si, I indeed couldn’t hide it from you after all.”
Di Si narrowed her vertical pupils. “Oh? It seems you recognize me?”
“Lord Dragon God jokes. Which of the star system gods wouldn’t know you?”
She didn’t want to see this star-skirt woman either, but her abilities were special, and this Dragon God was floating conspicuously by her side.
He Jianzhu placed her hands on Xia Feng’s shoulders and said gently in a soft voice, “I just don’t know what your relationship is with this brat, Lord Dragon God?”
Di Si did not answer her question.
“Ah!”
“Most of the star system gods are my enemies. Since you are unwilling to become my servant,”
Her majestic vertical pupils looked at Xia Feng. “Kill He Jianzhu.”
Xia Feng did not hesitate. The Bloodworm in his hand transformed into a blade, pressing against He Jianzhu’s back. His black eyes surged with cold killing intent, and he smiled, “Miss Jian Zhu, you have three seconds to consider.”
The ambiguous atmosphere between them vanished instantly. He Jianzhu raised her eyes to look at the Dragon God Token before her. She knew that the Dragon God Token had immense power. Even if it only contracted her, a mere clone, it would directly affect the main body.
Once contracted, she would have no escape.
Because of this, He Jianzhu realized that what was hindering her mission was not only Miss Mu but also the Dragon God Di Si!
This was truly hell-level difficulty!
But it didn’t matter. After all, as outstanding as she was, she possessed not only intelligence but also numbers.
If one He Jianzhu wasn’t enough, then there would be two. If two weren’t enough, then three…
Therefore:
“Two, if one He Jianzhu falls, there are millions upon millions of He Jianzhus… Death is not a big deal for a clone.”
She gently patted Xia Feng’s right cheek with her delicate hand, casually hooking his chin with her fingertip, her eyebrows curving slightly. “So, my dear son-in-law, your threat is actually not very convincing~”
Xia Feng: “…”
In fact, Miss Jian Zhu had guided him to obtain many Holy Solution Materials, and she didn’t seem like she wanted to harm him. However, her allegiance was still unclear. Moreover, Miss Mu had also once intended to get rid of He Jianzhu. So, if necessary, Xia Feng wouldn’t hesitate to cruelly strike this strange woman.
But he had to admit, this woman was more troublesome than Jiang Qiue.
Xia Feng’s brow furrowed, his chin forced upwards. The silver-haired woman’s golden eyes were gentle, her smile serene. “What, brat, five seconds have passed, why aren’t you making a move yet?”
Seeing her so arrogant, Xia Feng couldn’t stand it any longer. His eyebrows twitched. “Making a move? Alright!”
With that, he once again employed his old trick, forcefully throwing off his white coat with a crisp *pia* sound.
“!!!” He Jianzhu’s gentle smile froze. The index finger that had been hooking Xia Feng’s chin trembled, and her light-gold pupils, reflecting Xia Feng’s face, went rigid.
Seeing her slightly stunned, Xia Feng raised his hand again.
