Chapter 770: The Witch and the Empress, Two Great Mountains
Chapter 771: See How Much He Can Endure
Before the Pale Dragon God, the vast universe seemed cramped and insignificant.
The woman in the imperial dress had the exact same appearance as Miss Evil Dragon, possessing a world-shattering beauty and a majestic aura. Her cloud-grey soft hair was intricately pinned up with a gold hairpin, and her temperament was even more bone-chillingly cold than Miss Evil Dragon’s. Beneath the dark gold imperial dress, two long legs were elegantly crossed as she leaned back with her eyes closed, exuding nobility and grandeur.
Xia Feng narrowed his black eyes and ascended the steps, quickly reaching the clouds along this heavenly staircase, directly in front of the dragon’s head. Seeing that the woman still had her eyes closed, Xia Feng frowned, “What’s the matter, calling me here?”
As he spoke, those pale vertical pupils, so familiar to Xia Feng, like a sacred white abyss, slowly lifted, their indifferent gaze that looked down on all things, captivating. A divine sound, echoing through heaven and earth, magnificent and majestic, reverberated, “My believer, when paying your respects, you should kneel on one knee, not be so undignified and rude.”
“.”
“Lord Dragon God, your main body doesn’t have so many rules.”
“?”
So many rules? The woman in the imperial dress hadn’t expected that after only a few months, this believer would start being so disrespectful again. She frowned in displeasure. “Precisely because the main body doesn’t understand the proper etiquette between a divine cultivator and a ruler, and lets you act as you please, it requires me to correct your profoundly disrespectful words and actions.”
“Perform the ritual!”
Hearing her cold reprimand and seeing the indifferent vertical pupils glaring at him, Xia Feng’s eye twitched. Fine, fine, you’re amazing, let you have your moment of glory first! He bent his knees slightly and knelt on one knee, “Respected Your Majesty Tianwu, your most loyal believer, has come to pay homage!”
Watching Xia Feng lower his head with a hint of annoyance, the woman in the imperial dress subtly raised her delicate eyebrows. It seemed that the goal of making this arrogant believer learn respect and reverence for the Divine Master still had a long way to go. However, it didn’t matter; since Xia Feng couldn’t see the main body now, she had plenty of time to discipline this arrogant believer and restore the proper relationship between divine cultivator and ruler. Unlike the main body, who was straddled and kissed by the arrogant believer the moment they met.
“My believer, in these past few months, have you obtained the Golden Sparrow Flower Plume?” the Empress asked majestically.
“I have not,” Xia Feng shook his head. The Golden Sparrow Flower Plume could help the Empress recover her strength, and it was very rare, not easily encountered. “However, I have now arrived at the Fifth Great Area, Golden Sparrow City, and perhaps I will have the chance to encounter it.” Xia Feng remained kneeling on one knee and said in a deep voice, “After the Sumeru War concludes, I will help you keep a close eye out for this item.”
Seeing her believer’s earnest and respectful demeanor, the Empress nodded with satisfaction. This was how a loyal believer should act.
“There’s no hurry,” she narrowed her vertical pupils. “Compared to finding the Golden Sparrow Flower Plume, there is a more important matter for you to attend to now.”
“What is it?” Xia Feng looked up.
The woman on the imperial throne leaned her exquisite cheek on her hand and said indifferently, “Do you know why the various powers in the empire attach so much importance to the Sumeru War?”
“It’s for the Sumeru Throne, of course. Isn’t it said that this thing has the ability to strip away godheads?” Xia Feng replied casually.
The Empress shook her head. “That is only one reason; not all factions are aiming for the Sumeru Throne.”
Xia Feng was puzzled and intrigued. “Then what is it for?”
“Wrong,” the woman in the imperial dress tapped her knuckles on the armrest and frowned, “At this point, you should say, ‘I am foolish, please enlighten me, Your Majesty’.”
Xia Feng: “?” No, you really weren’t wrong about being troublesome! Xia Feng relented, helpless, “I am foolish, please enlighten me, Your Majesty!”
“Your brows should be lowered further, and your tone is too lazy, lacking any respect. All of these need to be changed. Come, say it again.” The lecture came from above, making Xia Feng dizzy and wanting to hit someone. Was this Empress poisoned? Did she really want to teach him etiquette?!
After a while, he finally couldn’t stand it anymore. He stood up directly, no longer willing to play this game of ruler and subject with this woman. He raised his chin and sneered, “Eighth Generation, you are merely a wisp of the Lord Dragon God’s remnant soul, not the main body. You are not qualified to lecture me like this!”
“?”
The Empress hadn’t expected her believer to revert back after being respectful for only a few seconds. She was truly difficult to tame. Her vertical pupils were cold, with a hint of confusion. “My believer, why do you insist on treating me and the main body as two separate individuals? You should understand that I, the Pale Dragon God.”
“No, you are not,” Xia Feng’s tone was sarcastic, and he casually lifted his black eyes. “You are just a lingering spirit clinging to life.”
“?!” Seeing his provocatively defiant demeanor, the Empress was furious. If it were anyone else, such an offense would have led to their utter annihilation! She had always been emotionally stable, but at this moment, a ball of inexplicable anger was burning within her, and her delicate brows slowly furrowed.
!
She tapped her fingertips on the armrest. After a long while, the woman on the imperial throne let out a sigh and said indifferently, “Fine. Since you believe I am not your Divine Master, then so be it. I will no longer share the pain brought by the Calamity Force for your Divine Master.” As she spoke, she stared at Xia Feng with amused vertical pupils, then opened her palm. A character ‘封’ (Seal) appeared on her palm, faintly on the verge of shattering.
“Wait,” Xia Feng quickly raised his hand and grabbed her wrist, his expression tense. “What do you mean by that!”
“Literally what I said,” the woman on the imperial throne said calmly. “A month ago, after my strength recovered slightly, I connected with the main body – no, I should say, with your Divine Master, and could slightly share her pain.”
“However, from your words, you don’t want me to help share the main body’s pain anymore?”
Xia Feng: “…”
The Empress looked at Xia Feng with her vertical pupils slightly raised, slowly closing her palm, about to crush the character ‘封’. Once shattered, she would be unable to share the main body’s pain. Xia Feng’s smile shifted from stiff to a genuinely fawning one.
“Your Majesty, you jest, you jest. I was just joking with you earlier~ Please don’t take it to heart~”
“Oh? A joke?” The Empress leaned back lazily, her gaze, capable of suppressing three realms, appreciating her believer’s dramatic shift from haughtiness to humility. “But I do not like jokes.”
“I am foolish, and I did not know Your Majesty’s preferences. I deserve death!” Xia Feng’s change of expression was swift, reaching the pinnacle of his life. He knelt again before the imperial throne, his voice as respectful as possible. “Please punish me, Your Majesty.”
“Look up.”
Xia Feng obediently looked up. The snow-white feet adorned with dark gold imperial dress extended near him, and her rosy red lips hooked his chin. He was forced to tilt his face even higher. At the top, the exquisite face of the woman leaning languidly on her side reflected in his black eyes.
The woman on the imperial throne looked down with divine eyes. “What, am I the Dragon God now?”
“.!”
You insignificant remnant soul, just you wait! Once I find a way, I’ll have the Lord Dragon God swallow you! No… before swallowing you, I’ll thoroughly humiliate you!
“Divine Master, you have always been the Dragon God!” Xia Feng’s black eyes shone with sincere light. “Undoubtedly, I, Xia Feng, have always been your most loyal believer!” His voice was strong and clear, full of genuine emotion.
“.” Looking at her arrogant believer, who was clearly angry and unwilling but dared not show it and could only submit to the situation with a contorted expression, the Empress’s pale vertical pupils flickered. The inexplicable anger in her heart did not subside; instead, it burned fiercer. It made her want to stomp directly on this arrogant believer’s face and see how much he could… endure for the main body!
