Chapter 973: 973 I, Yue Hongli, Am Not an Idiot Anymore
As he contemplated, outside the thin paper window, more fireworks ascended.
This courtyard was situated on a cloud vessel, offering a view of the entire imperial city below.
Sparrow God Mountain was not heavily guarded internally and had a large population, as the Golden Sparrow Flower was home to hundreds of thousands of smaller clans besides the Ke, Lei, and Jin major clans.
As long as one achieved a certain contribution, they were eligible to reside on Sparrow God Mountain. After thousands of years of development, the mountain realm had already become a world of its own.
While this world contained many architecturally magnificent spirit-based buildings, it was generally more classical, adorned with lanterns and streamers, children chasing each other, and a strong festive atmosphere.
There was no sense of the tension of wartime at all.
Xia Feng, using his Eye of Deconstruction, gazed far into the distance and quickly found some information.
Burning Heaven had suddenly ceased hostilities and retreated, claiming it was the ‘Heavenly Emperor Festival’ of the Burning Heaven Sacred Hall, and they needed to celebrate, thus no warfare could commence.
It was utterly preposterous.
Who would halt a war halfway through just because it was a festival?
Xia Feng stood outside the window, unable to fathom it, looking at the prosperous and lively scene beneath the clouds, momentarily lost in thought.
He remembered, today was January 1st.
In this world, the Spring Festival was called ‘Year Festival,’ such a distant term. He had only been a wanted criminal for a year and a half, yet Xia Feng felt like it had been several years since he last celebrated the New Year.
“Master, what are they doing?” Yue Hongli stood by the window, her charming, foxy eyes looking down with curiosity.
“Celebrating the New Year.”
“Oh, so this is celebrating the New Year.”
Yue Hongli nodded. She had seen the term in books, but then she looked at Xia Feng, “Master, I don’t understand.”
“Don’t understand what?” Xia Feng raised an eyebrow, realizing this idiot was about to ask another hundred questions.
The woman in the red dress asked doubtfully and earnestly, “Why are a group of carbon-based lifeforms so happy just because their planet has completed one orbit?”
“…”
Very well, your question is profound, but I don’t want to answer it! Xia Feng tilted his head back, leaning lazily against the back of the chair, his thoughts drifting.
Given the current situation, with the ‘help’ of the major powers, obtaining the sealing-breaking spirit materials for the Place of Seal was indeed relatively easy.
Among the sealing-breaking spirit materials, Level 6 spirit materials required forty-nine pieces, and Level 7 spirit materials required twelve pieces. Among them, ‘Heart-Slaying Tree Fruit,’ ‘Luo Xiu Nightmare,’ ‘Cosmic Star Core,’ and ‘Heart-‘ were the most difficult to obtain.
However, after the first round of negotiations, the Golden Sparrow Flower could provide the ‘Heart-Slaying Tree Fruit’ and ‘Luo Xiu Nightmare,’ while the Yama Legion could provide the ‘Cosmic Star Core’ and ‘Heart-,’ along with the generous contribution of the Sin Legion. This directly gathered the twelve pieces of Level 7 spirit materials needed for breaking the seal.
As for the Level 6 spirit materials, Xia Feng didn’t even need to provide a list; they could be easily gathered.
For the Level 8 spirit materials, the Yama Legion provided the True God Bone, one piece of divine spirit.
The Just Holy See provided two pieces of divine spirit.
The Element Holy See provided the ‘Ksitigarbha Glazed Glass.’
Thus, all three types of Level 8 spirit materials were also gathered.
It had to be said, these super powers indeed had deep foundations. If Xia Feng had to collect these rare spirit materials himself, it would have taken an incalculable amount of effort.
With this, the only thing left to assist Miss Evil Dragon in breaking the seal was the Sky Pivot.
Compared to rare spirit materials, the Sky Pivot was the most troublesome.
“Master, you are impolite.” The red-dressed woman bent down, her foxy face close to Xia Feng’s. Her rose-red eyes held a cold light but exuded a captivating, natural charm.
“Answer my question.”
As their breaths mingled, Xia Feng’s heart skipped a beat. His black pupils contracted, and he felt an uncontrollable dryness in his mouth, furrowing his brow.
He had already noticed that as the empathy progress with Hua Shen increased, the natural charm that Yue Hongli possessed became more pronounced. Just looking at her figure, one could see her innate seductive bones and alluring hip line.
Now, just her proximity and a downward glance made him have an indecent reaction.
Was this also Gui Hua’s passive skill?
Yue Hongli also sensed her master’s abnormality. Her indifferent gaze lowered, and seeing his erect erection, she couldn’t help but be stunned.
Xia Feng’s expression remained unchanged, and he made no attempt to conceal it, casually explaining, “The reason we are happy is probably to celebrate that the planet’s orbit hasn’t gone awry, and it has successfully lived through another year.”
“Oh.” Yue Hongli’s pupils brightened, as if she had learned new knowledge and nodded in understanding. However, her rose-like, delicate eyes remained fixed on his erect erection, “Master, is this your way of celebrating the New Year?”
“…”
Although her tone was indifferent, Xia Feng inexplicably heard a hint of mockery.
However, this was also Yue Hongli’s usual style; her ’37-degree mouth’ could always say things that hit straight to the heart.
Xia Feng was accustomed to it. He raised his eyes to the exquisitely beautiful, foxy face before him and sighed heavily. Fortunately, he had witnessed Miss Mu’s peak beauty, otherwise, it would have been difficult to control his current desires.
“That’s right, this is a celebration of the New Year,” Xia Feng said solemnly. “So, Little Li, you should also celebrate to make Master happy.”
Yue Hongli blinked her beautiful eyes and tilted her head, “I have to too?”
“Naturally!” Xia Feng said righteously, his black eyes shining. Restraint was restraint, but it didn’t prevent him from satisfying some evil thoughts and wicked amusement in his heart.
Yue Hongli, however, shook her head and stood up, looking down. “Master, I am not an idiot anymore.”
She raised her chin, the red tuft of hair on her head swaying, and she gazed at Xia Feng. “I am Gui Hua Xingjun, the Devil of All Gods. Do you, a mere human master, truly think I understand nothing?”
“?” Xia Feng also tilted his head. What? Why did you suddenly become so arrogant?
And what was this strange way of addressing him, ‘human master’?
However, it seemed Yue Hongli had indeed become much smarter. Her previously indifferent face, which never showed any expression, was now more lively.
A year and a half ago, Yue Hongli was still an idiot with incomplete common sense. Now, she understood many things and recalled many past events, no longer easy to fool.
Unfortunately, he hadn’t taught her to bark like a dog before making the master happy, Xia Feng muttered inwardly.
However, before Xia Feng could say anything more, Yue Hongli stepped back half a pace, holding her red dress. She lifted her slender white leg, her sole directly stepping onto Xia Feng’s knee, her toenails painted a vibrant red.
Xia Feng’s black pupils widened, and he stiffly looked up. “???”
He saw the foxy face looking down, her beautiful eyes condescending, and her tone indifferent. “Master, are you happy now?”
“…”
Seeing Xia Feng remain silent and expressionless, Yue Hongli tilted the red tuft of hair on her head and frowned. “When I saw Madam making Master happy, she did it like this.”
“!!!”
Xia Feng decided to retract his previous statement. This idiot hadn’t gotten smarter at all! She had become even more impudent!
When did he, Xia, become happy because of something like this! This idiotic woman not only had poor observational skills but even worse learning abilities! Gui Hua Xingjun, bah!
“What, Master, are you not happy?” Yue Hongli imitated the actions of Miss Mu from her memory, pressing down and grinding her sole. she asked softly.
