Chapter 502: The Twisted Saintess
Xia Feng found that Jiang Qiue genuinely disliked smiling, her face always stern and unhappy.
And now, even more so.
Xia Feng felt as if his vision was about to be pierced and killed by her condescending gaze, plunging him into an ice cellar. He couldn’t help but raise an eyebrow and slowly lowered his head.
“Saintess, I’m starting now.”
The man’s gently smiling thoughts echoed in Jiang Qiue’s mind. Her calm, emotionless beautiful eyes froze instantly, annoyance surging. She lowered her gaze, about to say something, when her pupils suddenly contracted.
Then, it expanded like ripples, her pupils trembling.
She wanted to tilt her head back and reach out to embrace Xia Feng’s black hair, but ultimately, she held back.
Frowning, her gaze quickly returned to normal. She met Xia Feng’s confronting black eyes coldly and uttered a command, devoid of any doubt, “Hurry up.”
“Saintess.”
Xia Feng’s thoughts sounded in her mind again, a low voice as if whispering in her ear, “Do you hate me to death right now?”
“!!” Jiang Qiue took a deep breath, her chest rising and falling. She clearly felt that Xia Feng was very obediently increasing the speed at which he absorbed the honey.
But this also caused her internal blood circulation to accelerate even more, her earlobes visibly turning crimson, and her entire cool, small face faintly flushing with a rosy hue.
She knew this scoundrel was intentionally using this opportunity to humiliate her.
Therefore, her expression couldn’t show any change!
“Xia Feng, if you want to use this opportunity to embarrass me, that’s too childish.”
Jiang Qiue raised her delicate hand and casually ruffled Xia Feng’s black hair. Seemingly unconcerned by the provocation in his eyes and mouth, she said calmly in a soft voice, “Hurry up. We’re in a crisis right now. Let’s cooperate properly.”
“…” Seeing her condescending demeanor, Xia Feng’s eye twitched involuntarily,
“Alright, then I’ll listen to the Saintess. I’ll try to be even faster!”
“…!!” Jiang Qiue’s scalp tingled. She slumped onto the ground, her green dress blooming like a lotus in the snow. Her slender hands propped her up on the snow, her lips pursed as she looked up at the chaotic battle unfolding in the sky above.
The Holy Arrow Spirit Soldiers and the Thousand Hands Legion formed a tight defensive array, blocking the attacks of the Dragon Corpse and the Withered Hand Legions.
But the latter’s forces were spread across the entire snowfield, numbering hundreds of thousands, charging up the hill one after another.
Only four seconds had actually passed since Xia Feng started absorbing the honey, but the Holy Arrow Spirit Soldiers were already showing signs of retreating, their front lines constantly shrinking inward.
However, thankfully, Xia Feng also knew the gravity of the situation and did not take this opportunity to humiliate her slowly. Instead, he accelerated the absorption of the honey as she had instructed.
Well, although it was a bit strange, he was obeying her command in the end, so she wasn’t actually being humiliated.
“Jiang Qiue, don’t breathe so fast. It’s hard for me to operate. Also, sit up a bit. You’re too limp. Do you need me to support you?”
A series of calm commands from Xia Feng sounded in Jiang Qiue’s mind, as if deliberately undermining her confidence. Jiang Qiue immediately lowered her head, glaring fiercely at the black hair she couldn’t see, gritting her teeth in anger.
That surname Xia—just you wait!
Absorb to your heart’s content. The more you absorb now, the easier it will be for me to control you in the future!
Her thoughts paused. Jiang Qiue realized she was getting emotional again.
She took a deep breath, her eyes, burning with a cold fire, calmed down and lowered, her expression returning to its aloof and elegant demeanor as she stared at Xia Feng’s black hair.
This idiot surnamed Xia didn’t know that the honey had a third effect. When the absorbed honey reached a certain level, it would become addictive, thus giving birth to a third ability besides the Bee Swarm Will and Bee Procreation.
[Queen Bee’s Curse]
[Curse: When too much of the Queen Bee’s honey is absorbed, the bee will suffer from an agonizing soul itch every day thereafter, making it unbearable to live.]
[Honey Addiction: The bee will develop a physiological obsession with the Queen Bee’s bodily aura, increasingly yearning to sink into the Queen Bee’s embrace.]
[Loyalty: When the bee harbors any thoughts detrimental to the Queen Bee, the curse will also be triggered.]
This was the grand gift she had prepared for Xia Feng.
Didn’t this scoundrel like to humiliate her by absorbing honey? Then let him absorb it!
It wouldn’t be long before this scoundrel became her complete captive, unable to leave Jiang Qiue.
He would be at her mercy!
At that time, this so-called Sirius, who would bring about world-ending disaster, would experience true humiliation!
Thinking of this, Jiang Qiue couldn’t help but pause. She keenly noticed that her malevolent aura seemed much stronger than before, and her calm and serene mindset had shifted.
It was probably due to the loosening of the Corrupted Seal within her.
But Jiang Qiue vaguely felt that this wasn’t necessarily a bad thing.
If there was pent-up emotion and humiliation in her heart, it needed to be released in time for her thoughts to become clear.
!
After all, for Xia Feng, she had invested a vast amount of resources and time, personally witnessing his growth from a fetus to an adult.
And such a humanoid life, painstakingly nurtured and on whom she had poured so much effort, was actually trying to escape, even going so far as to taunt and humiliate her before leaving.
And she couldn’t do anything about this guy!
How could she not be angry?
Jiang Qiue was unwilling.
She was not only unwilling to have her wholehearted efforts wasted but also unwilling to have her first attempt at trusting someone end in such a betrayal!
Luckily, before she had opened all her trump card privileges to Xia Feng, he had already shown his hand. Otherwise, the consequences would have been unimaginable.
But even so, Jiang Qiue had no intention of merely seeking revenge on Xia Feng.
Lost in thought, the woman in the green dress unconsciously wrapped her slender arms around Xia Feng’s black hair. Raising her gaze to observe the battle outside, her beautiful eyes narrowed slightly. “Xia Feng, since you were created by me, you are my, Jiang Qiue’s, property!
You can’t escape.”
A cold light flickered in Jiang Qiue’s ethereal eyes. She truly hated Xia Feng and wanted to slice him into a thousand pieces, but this didn’t stop her from turning Xia Feng into her doll, into someone Jiang Qiue could absolutely trust!
“…” In the darkness, Xia Feng felt the woman’s slender arms wrap around his black hair, holding tighter and tighter. He felt a bit suffocated and couldn’t help but send a mocking thought,
“Saintess, can you take your dirty hands off my head?”
Jiang Qiue lowered her gaze. Those black eyes looking up seemed to carry a hint of disgust. Her expression turned cold, and she silently lowered her hands, propping herself up on the snow again.
She had to admit, despite hating this man to the core, the unprecedented sense of security she felt after sleeping with him in her arms that day lingered in her memory.
Although this sense of security made her prone to letting down her guard, even oversleeping in the morning, she liked that feeling.
She liked holding Xia Feng. If only this guy could be as obedient as yesterday and continue to pretend to be the Bee Swarm Will, obeying her.
What a pity.
The man’s teasing, faint voice always reminded her that this guy was her enemy, whom she loathed and even hated, wishing she could stomp him underfoot and trample him utterly. Xia Feng!!
Jiang Qiue frowned, observing the Dragon Corpse army streaking across the sky. Her fair swan-like neck involuntarily tilted back, her soft, delicate hand covering her mouth. Her ethereal beautiful eyes followed the battle in the sky, looking back towards the heavens behind them.
