Chapter 495: Malice
Suppressing the excitement in his heart, Xia Feng’s expression remained unchanged as he slowly walked forward.
But in the next moment, a cross-shaped green light suddenly lit up between the eyebrows of the woman in the green dress. A green talisman formed by eighteen streams of light rose into the air, forming a circle around the woman in the green dress, floating quietly.
In addition, the green hairpin that the woman in the green dress used to tie her hair also transformed into a green light, shooting out with a swish. By the time it hovered in front of Xia Feng, it had already become a sword. The hilt was like jade, the blade flickered with thunder, and the tip exuded unbridled cold light.
Finally, the red rope on the woman in the green dress’s wrist also took shape, transforming into a small and adorable red fox with closed eyes. The words ‘Guard’ flashed on the red fox’s forehead.
These things were all God Relics.
Xia Feng could only fall silent. He was completely convinced. How could this stinky fox have so many self-preservation methods?
And, could this woman Jiang Qiue not even trust the Bee Swarm Will she cultivated herself?
Xia Feng felt that his sincerity was being treated unfairly. This was hateful! He was so kind, and righteous.
And kind.
He wouldn’t do anything bad while Jiang Qiue was unconscious, yet he was being so guarded. As Xia Feng sighed inwardly, the words ‘Guard’ on the red fox’s forehead flew to him and directly entered his brow.
The commanding will of the woman in the green dress sounded in his mind: “Guard, wait for me to wake up.”
Xia Feng glanced at the Saintess on the ground with a puzzled look. So, could this woman sense the situation around her or not?
Furthermore, what puzzled Xia Feng most was.
The woman in the green dress had a calm and indifferent beautiful face, but a misty red light that seemed to be twisting faintly seeped from the corners of her narrow eyes. Strange red patterns suddenly flickered between her eyebrows, making her pure and ethereal face look demonic and incredibly alluring.
Xia Feng only glanced at her, and he felt a heat all over his body, becoming as hard as iron.
He quickly averted his gaze, becoming more and more surprised. This Jiang Qiue’s identity was definitely not simple, because he could clearly feel the Calamity Demon Heart reacting with rejection.
What was the Calamity Demon Heart rejecting? Jiang Qiue herself? Or her current state?
Unable to figure it out, Xia Feng shook his head and glanced at the darkness around him. He didn’t know where he was, and escaping now might not be as safe as staying by Jiang Qiue’s side.
If he had to escape, he should at least get the pocket watch in Jiang Qiue’s hand.
Xia Feng had observed carefully just now. That glowing pocket watch was the map of Bei Qiu Abyss, and its pointer could indicate the direction, which was very useful.
However, it was difficult to even get close to Jiang Qiue now, and he couldn’t get the pocket watch at all. Xia Feng turned his head and looked at the woman in the green dress again, sighing inwardly.
Fine, he would guard.
Xia Feng sat down, propped up his jaw, and quietly looked at Jiang Qiue’s ethereal and demonic face for a while. He found himself getting hot again, so he closed his eyes and pretended to sleep, waiting.
This wait.
Lasted for four days.
The Start Time for Bei Qiu Abyss was one month, so there was plenty of time, but Xia Feng was already getting impatient.
For these four days, the Calamity Demon Heart had not synchronized any information, which was truly boring. The only thing worth celebrating was that his bone age could grow by 1-1.5 years every day.
After four days, his appearance was very similar to before.
Just as Xia Feng was rejoicing about his growing body in all aspects, he looked up as if sensing something.
Over the past four days, the complexion of the woman in the green dress had become paler day by day, as if she was fighting something in a dream. Her aura gradually weakened. At this moment, her eyelids suddenly moved, and she opened her eyes wide.
As she woke up, the color of her face became somewhat rosy.
“Saintess, what’s wrong?” A familiar male voice sounded. Jiang Qiue’s heart tightened, and the nightmare-like memory in the Water Curtain Cave instantly flooded her mind. The evil low laugh of the K-Masked Man still echoed in her ears. Jiang Qiue frowned and turned her head, only then realizing that the male voice came from the humanoid doll she had cultivated.
After Xia Feng matured, his current appearance retained only a hint of childishness, and his voice was increasingly leaning towards that of the K-Masked Man, or rather, that was the voice of the humanoid doll.
However, this voice cast a great shadow on her, and just hearing it would remind her of the humiliation she suffered back then, making her unable to help but feel anger.
Xia Feng keenly noticed Jiang Qiue’s darkening gaze, which was a look she had never had before. This made him feel uneasy. What was going on? She had only been unconscious for four days, and upon waking up, she looked at him as if he were an enemy?
I didn’t provoke you these past few days, did I?
“Saintess?” Xia Feng asked again with doubt, while secretly remaining vigilant, ready to act at any moment.
Jiang Qiue came back to her senses, her obscure and dark beautiful eyes quietly changed, returning to their ethereal and detached state. She glanced lightly at Xia Feng and said softly:
“There are two seals within me. One is a cultivation seal, and the other is a ‘corrupted’ seal. As the cultivation seal is gradually unsealed, the corrupted seal will also become increasingly unstable.”
As she spoke, Jiang Qiue glanced at the surrounding darkness and said in a deep voice, “The environment here is special. After I was injured, it unexpectedly accelerated the abnormal activity of the corrupted seal.”
“So, Xia Feng, remember this: if I fall unconscious again and am trapped by the corrupted seal, you will pour your blood into my mouth. Your blood can help me stabilize the corrupted seal.”
So that’s why you wanted dragon blood? Xia Feng thought to himself, but calmly asked the crucial question: “But Saintess, I couldn’t get close to you when you were unconscious.”
Jiang Qiue nodded. This was her problem, because she could never trust any living being. Letting a living being get close to her while she was unconscious was too terrifying for her.
But now that she had decided to use Xia Feng, choosing to trust this artificial life was an adventurous choice she had to make sooner or later.
There was no other way.
While contemplating, Jiang Qiue decided to reinforce the absolute loyalty of the Bee Swarm Will before fully trusting Xia Feng and granting him all permissions.
She took a deep breath, raised her ethereal beautiful eyes to look at Xia Feng, and directly commanded with her will: “Come closer.”
Xia Feng was surprised in his heart. Although he didn’t understand what this woman was trying to do again, he still complied, stepped forward, and pulled down Jiang Qiue’s collar.
Jiang Qiue’s red lips pursed slightly, and her delicate hand subconsciously gripped Xia Feng’s black hair. She looked up at the endless darkness ahead, her gaze vigilant, constantly observing the surroundings.
There was no sun here, but it was no different from broad daylight, which made her very uncomfortable. Her delicate eyebrows furrowed.
Fortunately, Jiang Qiue could clearly feel that under the nourishment of her honey, Xia Feng’s Bee Swarm Will was growing stronger, which slightly alleviated her panic and shame of being exposed.
“Saintess, you’re hugging too tightly. Can you loosen up a bit?” The familiar voice of the K-Masked Man sounded again. Jiang Qiue’s pupils in her vigilant gaze at the front contracted imperceptibly.
She slowly lowered her gaze and saw Xia Feng’s bright black eyes looking up at her. His face, with honey in his mouth, seemed to be covered by a K-Mask, making her scalp tingle.
After a moment of silence, Jiang Qiue quickly realized that she was scaring herself again.
However, Jiang Qiue’s delicate eyebrows furrowed even tighter. In the depths of her ethereal beautiful eyes staring at Xia Feng’s face, an eerie red light flashed quietly.
A malevolent and evil thought, from an unknown source, quietly sprouted.
