Chapter 590: Who are you underestimating?
A large hand pinched the soft flesh by her cheek. Mu Qingtong looked up, slapped Mr. Xia’s hand away, and sat up with an indifferent expression.
“You’re almost dead, yet you’re still so strong,” Xia Feng said, rubbing the back of his hand as he clicked his tongue in amazement.
Mu Qingtong didn’t want to say more to this male servant who would eventually surrender to her. She put on her half-frame gold-rimmed glasses again and tidied her slightly messy collar. As she stood up, her mind went blank and her body swayed. Mu Qingtong had to reach out and steady herself by holding onto Xia Feng’s shoulder. She lowered her head, her forehead resting on Mr. Xia’s broad shoulder, her delicate eyebrows furrowed.
Xia Feng glanced down at the silver-haired woman, “What are you doing? Still pretending? I won’t be fooled by you again.”
Mu Qingtong paused for two seconds, pursed her lips, her voice still a little weak, and said helplessly, “Mr. Xia, although I’m not dead, I am injured.”
Xia Feng was stunned, his hand subconsciously started to lift, then lowered. However, he eventually raised it to support her slender shoulder and asked with a confused head tilt, “Is it serious?”
“My mental power is high, so the light barrier used by that Tier Four Venerable didn’t really harm me.” The silver-haired woman shook her head. “But I overused the Fate Stone to wish for ‘collapse particles,’ and this has exceeded my body’s load capacity.”
“Overused it?”
“Mhm.” Mu Qingtong then explained the situation with the Fate Stone in detail. The last time she was attacked by Sirius, she used 5500 Life Force Value to wish for ‘Time Sea Cold Crystal’ and forcefully activated the River of Time and Space, which allowed her to escape. After such a huge expenditure, she only had 1230 points of Life Force Value remaining. This time, she forcefully wished for collapse particles, which cost 2000 points of Life Force Value, and her balance was not enough to support it.
However, she still forcefully succeeded in her wish, at the cost of her body being in a very bad state, and her luck and destiny would be problematic, with all sorts of deadly accidents potentially befalling her at any moment. “Simply put, if the several hundred points of Life Force Value that I owe are not replenished soon, I will indeed be close to death.”
As soon as she finished speaking, there was a sudden bang from the side. The two of them turned to look and saw that the stopper of a test tube had come loose at some point, and with a “ca” sound, it popped open. The special stopper, under immense pressure, shot out like a bullet directly at the silver-haired woman.
Xia Feng frowned, pulling Mu Qingtong to the side. The stopper whizzed past and happened to hit a button on the operating table. “Zzz—” The mechanical arm above the treatment bed received the command, spun sharply to the right, and lunged towards Mu Qingtong’s head!
Xia Feng hugged Mu Qingtong into the Holy Knight Space and looked speechlessly at the mechanical arm doing a Thomas flair outside. “It seems like you’re really starting to have bad luck.”
“This is the current troublesome point.” Mu Qingtong leaned weakly in Xia Feng’s arms, nodded with a frown, “I am currently in the critical stage of Ascending to Venerable. It’s not a good situation if I continue to be this unlucky. But it’s not easy to find Origin Divine Power again to replenish my Life Force Value.”
Seeing the silver-haired woman in distress and unable to resolve her current predicament, Xia Feng’s lips curved upwards, “Origin Divine Power? What’s so hard to find about that~”
Mu Qingtong glanced at him and said lightly, “If you’re talking about asking your Divine Master for help, then forget it.”
“Tch, who are you underestimating? I mean, I have Origin Divine Power in my hands right now, Miss Mu.”
“You?” Mu Qingtong’s gaze was suspicious. It was difficult to even store Origin Divine Power, so how could Mr. Xia have it?
Xia Feng deliberately let his hand, which was around her waist, slide down, patted her soft, bouncy lower abdomen twice, and said with a mysterious smile, “How about it, Miss Mu, do you want it?”
“…”
Seeing that his expression was not fake, Mu Qingtong couldn’t help but raise an eyebrow, somewhat surprised. She delicately hooked his jaw with her finger, looking at his confident and arrogant cheek. Mu Qingtong’s lips curved slightly, and she brought her red lips close to Xia Feng’s ear. Xia Feng clearly heard the witch’s weak, soft voice, which was calm yet like a kitten’s purr, “I want it~” His breathing hitched, his heart rate inexplicably soared, and his life force rose defiantly. It pressed against the witch’s soft lower abdomen. Mu Qingtong couldn’t help but raise her beautiful eyes, her gaze calm, but her delicate hand suddenly grabbed his life force and lifted it with a sneer. The smirk on her lips hid a hint of mockery, and she said helplessly, “Mr. Xia, what? You get excited like this?”
“!” Xia Feng’s scalp tingled. He thrust his large hand forcefully into the silver-haired witch’s curved buttocks, raised an eyebrow, and was about to say something more, when the Holy Knight Space began to shake and become unstable, showing signs of imminent collapse.
He had to admit, the backlash from Mu Qingtong overusing the Fate Stone was indeed outrageous. Even hiding in a pocket dimension, she could still encounter danger. He had no choice but to withdraw from the Holy Knight Space and flee outside the laboratory. At the same time, he spread his palm, and a ten-centimeter-tall dark tower appeared in his palm.
Mu Qingtong, leaning weakly in Xia Feng’s arms, looked at the tower in confusion. The black tower had no apparent top; the slanted plane above seemed to have had several floors sliced off by a single cut, making it incomplete.
“This is…”
“Refining God Tower,” Xia Feng said in a low voice, hugging her waist. “It’s a God Relic of the Calamity Demon, and it’s also a good thing I obtained in the Nightmare Realm before. It can be paired with your Fate Stone…”
Listening to Mr. Xia’s detailed explanation in her ear, Mu Qingtong’s calm golden eyes gradually brightened, and her astonishment was undeniable. Not only could it refine divine objects, but it could even refine gods! She had to admit that even she acknowledged the power of this item.
Seeing Miss Mu’s surprise, Xia Feng’s lips curved. He couldn’t suppress his desire to show off, but he still maintained a high-minded, calm smile and a thought crossed his mind. The top of the Refining God Tower quietly became transparent, allowing him to look inside. He saw a swirling red mist inside, and a luminous figure bound by bloody chains, its limbs and body restrained within the tower. The golden orb above its head condensed extremely fine, faint golden threads, which spread throughout its body, almost invisible to the naked eye.
The luminous figure seemed to perceive Xia Feng’s gaze and suddenly looked up, roaring ferociously and unwillingly. This person was the Peach Blossom Star Lord, and his Godhead, forcefully extracted from his main body by the Refining God Tower. Although the Refining God Tower was powerful, its incompleteness made the refining speed extremely slow. Moreover, the Peach Blossom Star Lord’s Status was much higher than Xia Feng’s, so it would take a considerable amount of time to completely refine this god to death.
Xia Feng had a thought, and the thousands of divine golden threads surrounding the Peach Blossom Star Lord quickly converged like a tornado, forming a slightly thicker and longer stream of brilliant golden mist. A strand of golden mist and two hundred golden threads floated out of the tower’s summit and headed towards Mu Qingtong’s brow.
[Life Force Value: -770]
[Life Force Value: 830↑]
[Life Force Value: 8830↑]
One strand of Origin Divine Power could convert into 8 points of Life Force Value. One stream of Origin Divine Power could convert into 8000 points of Life Force Value. Such a massive influx of divine power not only replenished the deficit from the Fate Stone but even reached a historical high. Xia Feng glanced at the slightly dimmed golden orb above the Peach Blossom Star Lord’s head. Ignoring the Peach Blossom Star Lord’s angry roars, Xia Feng casually put the Refining God Tower away. “Although this Eighth-tier deity’s Godhead is damaged, there is still quite a bit of Origin Divine Power left. We’ll see how it goes after some time.”
