Chapter 591: Presenting the Spirit Robe of Memories
After the Fate Stone was replenished, Mu Qingtong felt her dazed state completely vanish. The sense of impending doom also quietly dissipated. She let out a soft sigh. She gently rubbed Mr. Xia’s black hair, the corners of her eyes curving imperceptibly, and praised, “I have to say, Mr. Xia, you are rather useful.”
Xia Feng pushed her hand away, a fake smile on his face. “Miss Mu, I suggest that if you want more Life Force Value supplies in the future, you should show me more respect.”
Mu Qingtong’s eyes curved slightly, and she smiled. She knew full well that in a true crisis, Mr. Xia would still act like he did in The Siege Battle and save her at all costs. And she would do the same. Therefore, Mr. Xia’s threat was completely useless. She reached out and patted the man’s shoulder, her golden eyes dim. “Alright, Mr. Xia, rest up. We’re going out tonight.”
“Going out? Where to?”
“The Lantern Festival.”
“What is that?” Xia Feng asked, confused.
“Today is Li Tian City’s City Founding Day, so every ten years this city holds a grand celebration. This day is called ‘Li Tian Festival,’ and later, because of the custom of releasing lanterns to pray for blessings during the Li Tian Festival, it’s also called ‘Lantern Festival.'”
Xia Feng nodded thoughtfully, understanding that it was quite similar to the Lantern Festival. “And then? We’re going to…?” Xia Feng didn’t think Miss Mu would be interested in such a festival.
“At the lantern fair, there’s a type of Spirit Paper that can solve our problem of shining like Sirius once we become Venerable.”
“Oh?” Xia Feng couldn’t help but raise an eyebrow. “Is that true? Such a good thing?”
“Of course, it’s true.” Mu Qingtong said calmly, “Why would I lie to you about something like this?”
Of course, it was a lie. She did have a lead on solving the Sirius issue, but there was no Spirit Paper related to it at the lantern fair. Her purpose for going to the lantern fair was to obtain the [Spirit Robe of Memories]. According to information from various channels, this was an auxiliary Spirit Robe that could display deep memories from the Sea of Memory in the form of virtual images. As long as she could secretly learn this Spirit Robe, her plan to conquer Mr. Xia would take a big step forward, perhaps even achieving it in one go! Directly making Mr. Xia submit! However, it was best not to let Mr. Xia know about the existence of this Spirit Robe, lest he become wary.
Xia Feng didn’t suspect anything. After chatting with Miss Mu for a few more words, they parted ways for the time being. Miss Mu continued to stay in the Laboratory, tending to her physical condition. As for him, he took advantage of the dim light before sunrise and headed east.
There were two Laboratory coordinates given by Feng Jiany. Laboratory No. 7 in the deep sea had already been destroyed, and Xia Feng had taken the Primordial Fate Stone and the Sky-Mending Stone Embryo. Now, he planned to take advantage of his free time to visit Laboratory No. 8 and retrieve the God Relic within. However, to his surprise, as soon as he reached the outskirts of the forest where Laboratory No. 8 was located, he found troops stationed there. Sentry towers were lined up, a pale blue protective barrier covered the sky, and several solemn warships protruded from the clouds kissed by the sunrise. Amidst the dazzling brilliance, a banner with a dark “Shang” character in silver fluttered in the cloud-filled sky. It was the Li Dong Legion of the Fourth Pillar.
Xia Feng activated Forest Shelter and the Eye of Deconstruction to scan. Deep within the forest, he sensed the aura of two Venerable realm experts, one of whom was a Heaven’s Revelation Knight. Seeing this, he didn’t hesitate and turned to leave. It seemed that Laboratory No. 8 had already been discovered by the Li Dong Legion, and the God Relic there had likely fallen into their hands. It wasn’t a big deal. That God Relic was called “When the Cicada Cries,” and although its effect was very powerful, greatly enhancing the user’s cultivation, its usage condition was also very harsh, requiring a mortal determination to save the world and its people. Xia Feng knew himself well; he was actually very afraid of death. Although he desperately wanted to expose the truth of White Emperor City and avenge the soldiers of White Emperor City against Ye Li Dongjun, he hadn’t reached the great extent of saving the world and its people. He was just acting according to his own wishes and doing his best. Of course, “When the Cicada Cries” and his Undying Authority seemed like a good match. If he died using “When the Cicada Cries,” he could still be resurrected. But unfortunately, knowing that he absolutely wouldn’t die, he no longer had the determination to face death, and thus couldn’t use “When the Cicada Cries” at all.
After scouting the situation, Xia Feng returned the way he came. Along the way, he pondered his current strength. If he teamed up with Miss Mu, they could deal with a single A-level Venerable, but if the opponent was stronger, it would be tricky. Now, however, he had obtained a Pure Blue Grade God Relic – the Bone Dragon Halberd, which came from Ba Ji and was a very good treasure. The bone dragon stored within was still intact, but with Ba Ji’s death, it had lost its intelligent activity. However, after Xia Feng dripped a drop of his blood, he re-pledged allegiance to the Bone Dragon Halberd, and the bone dragon regained its basic intelligent activity, faintly conveying a sense of intimacy and submission to Xia Feng. The bone dragon, at the Venerable three-star level, although its attack methods were simple, only having common techniques like Dragon Flame and Dragon Roar, and unable to exert even a tenth of its strength from when it was alive, it was still very powerful. Xia Feng was very satisfied with this. With the help of this bone dragon, dealing with Ba Ji, a double A-level Venerable three-star powerhouse, should not be so disheveled.
Speaking of Ba Ji, Xia Feng couldn’t help but feel a little worried. He had already helped Ye Li Dongjun complete one of his humiliating plans, but there were some unexpected complications. Ye Li Dongjun seemed to genuinely want to kill the puppet Xia Feng, but now he had escaped and even killed Ba Ji. Ye Li Dongjun, by sealing his own memories, wouldn’t be suspicious, but it would definitely arouse Jian Xin’s suspicion. It was likely to be troublesome. However, things had come to this point, and he couldn’t be bothered to think about it further. The priority now was to participate in the lantern fair and solve the problem of Sirius flashing when one became Venerable.
Lost in thought, he hurried back and finally returned to the Bronze Tower before dusk. Although he had important business at the lantern fair, he still wanted to dress well, and formally. He couldn’t be outshone by Miss Mu! After taking a bath in the luxurious suite arranged by Miss Mu and admiring himself in the mirror, he almost fainted from his own handsomeness. He had to admit that this was a rare moment of leisure. He felt relaxed and content, like a good student about to go out to play with friends. It had been a long time since he had a moment like this since escaping from District 51. Even when he was with Miss Mu, their interactions were always tense battles, a struggle for victory, which was exhausting. After drying his hair, styling it, and putting on a dashing outfit, Xia Feng picked up his phone just as a particularly concerned prompt vibrated. “Ding~” “Experience Pack: I’ll go out first. I’ll wait for you at the Magpie Lantern Bridge.”
