Chapter 593
Chapter 593. Suffocation
“Is Mr. Xia looking forward to my confession that much?” Mu Qingtong said with a light smile.
“Not really.”
Xia Feng’s lips curved. After all, in my memory, there is already a scene of your confession, Miss Mu.
“I’m just looking forward to Miss Mu’s surrender.” He rubbed his chin. “Miss Mu, do you think there will be a day when you’ll be calling out how much you like Mr. Xia, while hugging my thigh and crying, begging me not to reject your love?”
Seeing his smug and annoying demeanor again, Mu Qingtong was already accustomed to it. This guy was a natural sword person who felt uncomfortable if he wasn’t being a smart aleck for a moment.
“Give it back to me.” Her expression turned cold, and she reached out to pull down Xia Feng’s red rope.
“Eh?” Xia Feng quickly retracted his hand and dodged, protecting his wrist. “Wait, wait, wait – Miss Mu, I have something to give you too.”
“Hmm?” Mu Qingtong was startled.
Xia Feng flipped his palm, and a porcelain bowl appeared in his hand. A string of candied hawthorns with red tempting glazed crystals was propped diagonally on the bowl.
[N-level·Foodie’s Treasure Basin·Optimized Version]
[Infinite Food: Ordinary food that has been blessed by the Treasure Basin will gain infinite buffs and can never be eaten (maximum 1000 blessed foods).]
This spirit artifact was encountered by Xia Feng on his way back to the Bronze Tower. It had no effect on improving his strength, but in an apocalypse stream world, it would be a golden finger-level existence.
The reason Xia Feng returned to the Bronze Tower so late today was that he had searched the entire city, and based on his past experience, found a candied hawthorn flavor that Miss Mu would likely enjoy.
“I’ve added an infinite buff to this candied hawthorn. If you eat all seven fruits, it will grow another seven, and they will stay fresh forever.”
Xia Feng handed the bamboo skewer with seven candied hawthorns to the black-dressed woman, smiling confidently. “What do you think? Do you like this gift?”
Mu Qingtong’s beautiful eyes lifted slightly. “It’s alright.”
“.Just alright?” Seeing her so bland and uninspired, Xia Feng twitched the corner of his mouth and sighed. “It seems you dislike this gift for being too inferior. Fine, it’s true that it’s not as precious as the spatial red rope you gave me. I’ll take it back.”
Saying this helplessly, Xia Feng was about to take back the bamboo skewer when Mu Qingtong grabbed his wrist.
Her golden, beautiful eyes glared at him, and she directly snatched the candied hawthorn from his hand.
“Mr. Xia, you need to understand that not many things in this world can earn my approval. ‘Alright’ is already high praise.”
Your praise is really different from ordinary people’s, Xia Feng clicked his tongue and suddenly asked, “What about ‘not bad’?”
“‘Not bad’ is the highest praise.”
“And ‘like’?”
“…” Mu Qingtong took a small bite of a red crystal fruit, glanced at Xia Feng with her beautiful golden eyes, her cheeks puffed up adorably as she chewed and tasted, nodding with satisfaction. “The taste is not bad.”
Xia Feng looked at her acting like a little hamster, suddenly inexplicably cute, and at her red, gleaming lips covered in crystalline sugar.
He was hungry.
Xia Feng suddenly reached out, embraced her slender waist, and before Miss Mu could react, pulled her onto his lap.
Xia Feng hooked her delicate jaw, his thumb gently stroking her slightly parted red lips.
Under Miss Mu’s slightly surprised golden eyes, Xia Feng smiled faintly. “Since Empress, you have tasted it, it’s time for your subject to taste the candied hawthorn.”
“…” Mu Qingtong’s cool, delicate eyebrows twitched slightly. “Mr. Xia, if you keep being this annoying and asking for a beating, I–”
Her words were directly stuffed back by Xia Feng. She could clearly feel that Mr. Xia’s aggression was very strong at this moment, that surging desire seemed to have been suppressed for a long time, making her feel a little breathless.
However,
She liked this suffocation. It was like a well-behaved dog she hadn’t seen in a long time, finally seeing her and rushing to her lap, jumping excitedly, constantly trying to get close and lower itself, hoping she would pet its head and praise its performance during these days.
Mu Qingtong’s slender arms gently wrapped around Xia Feng’s neck, her delicate fingers sinking into his black hair, gently kneading it to give him encouragement and satisfaction.
Her golden eyes calmly gazed at Mr. Xia’s black eyes, which were about to reveal his uncontrollable desire and hidden joy.
The corners of her red lips, blocked by his muffled sounds, subtly curved.
Mr. Xia, I told you, sooner or later you will completely submit to me!

Sky Fortress.
The youth with heterochromia sat in his wheelchair, staring grimly out the window at the thunderclouds.
Outside, dense clouds rolled, lightning flashed, and dazzling purple light stung the eyes; it was extremely violent.
Behind the wheelchair, several subordinates remained silent, not daring to speak.
However, the inner personality of the wheelchair youth—Ye Li Dongjun, who possessed complete memories—was hiding in the depths of the youth’s soul, observing calmly.
He knew clearly that the Xia Feng who had killed Baji was just an alchemy puppet.
!
The current situation, though seemingly out of control, was actually all within his plan.
In this humiliating incident, two people died: one was Baji, and the other was Ye Lixuanqi.
Baji’s death was to help Jian Xin complete her final ritual. Jian Xin needed to plan a grand play, and in this play, at least three Venerable Third Realm powerhouses who trusted her needed to die.
Baji was the first sacrifice in this play.
Therefore, Ye Li Dongjun specifically dispatched his strongest subordinate, the “Gun King,” to impersonate a member of the rarely seen Peach Organization, to save the puppet Xia Feng and, incidentally, kill Baji.
According to the information reported by Jin Yanghong, the puppet Xia Feng had been successfully rescued by a member of the Peach Organization, and Baji’s body was also missing, presumably taken away by the Peach Organization member.
As for Ye Lixuanqi, when he was sent to receive the Element Saintess and her party, he was not honest during the reception, subtly provoking the hostility of the Element Holy See.
Ye Li Dongjun knew that this fool was doing it on purpose. Although Ye Lixuanqi’s surname was Ye Li, because his mother came from the Jin Yang clan, he had secretly pledged allegiance to Jin Yang Tian, the leader of the Jin Yang power factions.
Although the Jin Yang power factions were closely allied with the Ye Li Royal Family and belonged to the Fourth Pillar faction.
This newly emerging god-tier genius, Jin Yang Tian, had always coveted his position as a disciple. Ye Li Dongjun understood that if he didn’t improve his strength soon and failed in the competition for the Sumeru Throne, he would eventually be overthrown by Jin Yang Tian.
The only thing that puzzled the inner personality, Ye Li Dongjun, was that after the Gun King rescued the puppet Xia Feng, he did not seem to have contacted Jian Xin and his whereabouts were unknown.
However, it wasn’t a big deal. The Gun King knew the specific plan that followed—to have Xia Feng and Leya enter into a fake union in front of the outer personality, Ye Li Dongjun, thereby completing the final humiliating event.
After obtaining the Dragon Heart Flame from the Eight-Eyed Spirit Beast, enslaving a Dragon King-level beast, and finally completing the Holy Solution, his strength would undergo a qualitative improvement.
Only then could he gain an advantage in the upcoming competition for the Sumeru Throne.
In the current empire, both the Saint’s Remains and the Sumeru Throne have appeared.
The Saint’s Remains are the key to inheriting the divinity of the Three Saint Star Gods, attracting most Spirit Masters’ attention to the Holy Spirit Hall in Area 41. Almost all forces are converging towards Area 41.
The Sumeru Throne can seize the divinity of a god, allowing the user to directly possess the qualification to become a god. Even a Venerable can potentially ascend to godhood in one step!
The competition for the Saint’s Remains involves a very high level, so Ye Li Dongjun is not coveting this item.
However, regarding the Sumeru Throne, he had meticulously planned for so many years, even sacrificing the lives of 100,000 soldiers from White Emperor City for it, so he was determined to obtain it.
