Chapter 589: This World-Ending Witch Is Also No Good
“Miss Mu, I—”
Mu Qingtong and Fei stared at Xia Feng, but Xia Feng stopped after only saying four words. He waited for two full seconds before speaking again. Mu Qingtong couldn’t help but feel confused. Her face still looked weak, and her chapped lips parted as if to say something more.
Xia Feng suddenly sighed and looked at her helplessly. “Miss Mu, at this point, why are you still concerned about my romantic life?”
Mu Qingtong’s beautiful, watery eyes remained calm. Her eyelids drooped with fatigue, and her pale cheeks looked frail. Her naturally aloof demeanor made her appear even more pitiable. She shook her head almost imperceptibly. “If Mr. Xia doesn’t wish to answer, then forget it.”
Seeing the silver-haired woman’s pitiable state, Xia Feng scoffed inwardly. However, his expression remained unchanged as he sighed, “It seems Miss Mu really wants to know if I have someone I love.”
“Fine, it’s not a problem to tell you.” Xia Feng stared seriously at Mu Qingtong and said in a deep voice, “Miss Mu, I naturally have someone I love.”
[This love battle is about to be won. Mu Qingtong’s desire to conquer and control you reaches its peak. While anticipating the fruits of victory, she understands and improves the Azure Bone Chasing Technique. You gain a deeper understanding of the Azure Bone Pursuit—]
[b·Azure Bone Chasing Technique·Bone Whisper: Within ten thousand miles, both parties possessing ‘Xia Feng’s bones’ can use Bone Whisper for super long-distance telepathic communication. The mental delay depends on the distance between the two parties.]
“The person I love—” Xia Feng met Mu Qingtong’s golden eyes and said sincerely, with adoration in his gaze, “is naturally the great Lord Dragon God!”
The silver-haired woman: “???”
Mu Qingtong’s weary, drooped eyelids seemed frozen in time.
[Your words cause Mu Qingtong’s excited craving, which had reached its peak, to come to an abrupt halt, creating a vast emptiness. Such a great fluctuation in her emotions causes her to lose focus for a moment, and the mental state maintaining her Spirit Pressure and Spirit Base experiences a great relaxation! You are currently in a dangerous stage of ascending to Venerable, your Spirit Pressure is subtly unstable, and your Spirit Base is about to collapse—]
“!” Xia Feng was startled. “No, Miss Mu, weren’t you very powerful? Are you collapsing already?!”
“Cough, just kidding.” He changed the subject, his black eyes gazing calmly at the silver-haired woman. “Miss Mu, as a strong individual, how could I possibly be preoccupied with such trivial matters of love day in and day out?”
“The so-called person I love, I don’t need such a pointless goal.” Xia Feng’s expression was placid, his words resounding.
[Mu Qingtong’s mood remains poor. Her craving, which was about to reach its peak, was not satisfied. She is displeased, but her momentarily relaxed mind returns to normal, re-stabilizing the Spirit Pressure and Spirit Base that were in a dangerous state—]
Xia Feng felt his internal state improve and secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Honestly, such a huge emotional fluctuation from just a few words, and she still pretended to be calm! This World-Ending Witch is also no good.
Mu Qingtong truly hadn’t expected Mr. Xia to be so unfazed. Even now, he still wouldn’t say those words? Could it be that Mr. Xia had seen through the truth? But logically, her and Fei’s acting should have been flawless…
Fei narrowed her beautiful eyes, took a few steps forward, placed her hands on the bed, and leaned forward. “Really, I can’t stand it anymore. Xia, are you sure you’re still going to be stubborn and not say it?”
“What?” Xia Feng asked, confused.
The maid raised an eyebrow, crossed her arms, and stepped back, a playful expression on her pretty face. “She only has one minute left to live~ If you don’t confess now, you’ll never have another chance~”
“Confess?” Xia Feng blinked, then realized. “Oh, so that’s what you meant.” He glanced at the frail silver-haired woman, looked down at her, and shook his head helplessly. “Miss Mu, what are you thinking? I only see you as a peer. Did you really think I liked you?”
Mu Qingtong: “…”
“Miss Mu, as peers, your death would indeed be a regret for me, but I am not someone who easily wallows in sentimentality. And rest assured, after you die, I will carry on your will and live well in this world, continuing to search for new peers!”
“Embarking on a brand new journey to conquer peers!” As he spoke, Xia Feng’s black eyes sparkled with anticipation. He stroked his chin and smiled lightly. “Well, the world is so big, perhaps I might truly meet a second ‘Miss Mu’~ Oh my, thinking about it this way, I’m actually quite looking forward to it~”
Mu Qingtong: “.!”
Seeing that Xia Feng seemed indifferent to her life and death, Mu Qingtong understood. She had been exposed. Ever since reuniting with Mr. Xia, she had been waiting for an opportunity, for a powerful enemy to appear, a moment when she could flawlessly deceive Mr. Xia! After waiting for so long, she had finally found her chance today. Recreating the scene from the River of Time and Space, she had her heart pierced in front of Xia Feng to save him! But she hadn’t expected to fail.
“Hmm? Strange.” Xia Feng glanced at the clock on the wall. “Three minutes have passed, Miss Mu. Why do you look like you’re getting better and better?” A faint smile played on his lips as he looked down at the silver-haired woman.
“Tch, you saw through that?” Maid Fei seemed to lose interest, pouting. Her figure transformed into a stream of red light and darted into the silver-haired woman’s brow.
Mu Qingtong met the man’s black eyes looking down at her with a gaze full of teasing. She wasn’t too disappointed, only slightly puzzled. “How did you find out?”
!
Xia Feng smiled. “Miss Mu, you insidious woman. In front of me, you’ll never be able to fool me with pretending to be dead~” He lifted the silver-haired woman’s delicate jaw and gently patted her cheek, his smile inscrutable. “You want to know? —Beg me.”
“!!” Seeing that this guy had gained the upper hand and was acting so arrogantly again, Mu Qingtong’s slender, beautiful eyelashes drooped. She pursed her lips, and the king’s fire burning within her heart blazed fiercely once more! This peer of hers… is truly interesting.
“~~~” Xia Feng was in a good mood, appreciating the silver-haired woman’s cool, small face with great interest. Her slightly furrowed, beautiful brows seemed to hold some thoughts. “Oh my, Miss Mu, what are you thinking right now?” Xia Feng pinched the soft flesh of her right cheek and gently pulled it, as if treating a cute child. “Miss Mu, you’re still too naive. Next time, remember to use a smarter method, okay?”
My fists are hardening!
Although his tone was like coaxing a child, it was filled with mockery. Mu Qingtong found that this peer’s ability to infuriate people had indeed improved. He could always hit her soft spots and provoke her crazily! Truly, it was exasperating.
Mu Qingtong’s calm golden eyes rippled like a lake’s surface. The serene, icy flow ignited with threads of cold fire. It was indeed not easy to make Mr. Xia completely surrender and willingly let out beautiful, pleading trembles beneath her. But… it was fine.
Today’s plan was not a complete failure. Although Mr. Xia didn’t say those words, his instantaneous reaction when she was on the verge of death was vivid in her mind. The anxiety, the panic, the feeling of his heart stopping, even the bewildered and regretful expression with his eyes faintly reddened. All of this was reflected in her golden eyes and deeply etched in her mind! Although she hadn’t obtained a confession scene that would ‘kill’ Mr. Xia, this image of his flustered regret was barely sufficient.
Now, all she needed to do was find, or research, a Spirit Robe method that could display memories! Then she could make this detestable, “untamed” peer completely see herself and completely… submit to Mu Qingtong!
