I Bound Myself to a Destructive Witch
Chapter 606 - 606: 574. The first step of the plan was killed by you.

Sensing the disturbance, Freya suddenly opened her eyes.

Before she could react, the wooden puppet that had appeared out of nowhere was swiftly and ferociously taken down by Xia Feng...

She opened her mouth, somewhat stunned.

Xia Feng stood where he was, vigilantly looking around for a while and did not find any hidden enemies. He was puzzled—did that man in the black robe really die?

He looked up at the wine-haired woman and let out a sigh of relief, "Ms. Fu, are you alright?"

Freya had also regained her composure by now, looking at her long-unseen student with some surprise.

Seeing that she did not speak, Xia Feng quickly explained, "Teacher, I am the real Xia Feng, the one before was the fake."

"I know."

Freya shook her head, the indifferent expression on her alluring face fading slightly as her beautiful eyes blinked lightly, "Why have you come?"

You knew? Xia Feng was even more puzzled, but he still explained,

"According to the sensation of the 'Pale Seal', I thought you were kidnapped, so I hurried over."

Xia Feng gestured towards where the man in the black robe had died, "What's the deal with this guy? Did he kidnap you?"

Freya pursed her lips, unsure of what to say for a moment, only managing to respond, "...sort of."

"Sort of?"

"Mm..." Freya looked out towards the Dark Forest beyond the cave entrance and sighed, "Actually, this is all part of Lord Yeli Dong's 'Holy Release' plan. I don't know the specific details, but he seems to have obtained some Divine Relic; if he completes certain shameful acts, he can acquire the 'Dragon Heart Flame' needed for the restoration of the Dragon King bloodline..."

"As Lord Yeli Dong's wife in name, he obviously doesn't want to truly humiliate himself to complete these shameful acts, so he thought of a way to deceive the rules of the Divine Relics... The one impersonating you was actually just a wooden doll."

"Huh?"

Listening to Freya's slow narration, Xia Feng stepped back in shock, amazed by her words—was that even possible?

So this was Lord Yeli Dong's third plan to create a Dragon King Level being?

And the method to create it was derived from the 'Shame Spirit Curse' I had cast on him...

Xia Feng found this inconceivable and could not help but wonder what shameful acts this man had already committed.

"Then why did the wooden doll have my face..." Xia Feng asked, perplexed.

Freya pursed her lips, "To maximize the sense of shame experienced by his public persona and to ensure that it would not detect anything amiss, he needed to select from his memories a real lowly life form, an Ant who bore grudges against him, to play the role of the Evil Cultist who would violate me; and then, he just happened to choose you..."

"..."

6, That was the only way Xia Feng could praise Lord Yeli Dong's genius.

"So, under the repeated pressures from Great Lord Business of the Pillar Country, I outwardly agreed to help him complete the 'Holy Release' plan."

Freya's beautiful eyes narrowed slightly, "But in reality, I would always delay, dragging it out for days, until he completely missed the optimal time for 'Holy Release.'

After all, if he completed the 'Holy Release', his combat power would receive an extremely terrifying boost, which isn't a good thing for us."

Eh... Wait, Ms. Fu, that's actually a good thing, Xia Feng blinked, "Teacher... Actually, even if the opponent's Spiritual Artifact undergoes 'Holy Release', my Spiritual Artifact can copy or even seize their 'Holy Release' abilities."

Freya was stunned, she indeed vaguely knew some of the abilities possessed by this student's Spiritual Artifact.

But she had not considered this aspect before, now that she thought about it, it seemed to make sense. If Xia Feng could even snatch the ability of Holy Release, then helping Lord Yeli Dong with his Holy Release might not be a bad thing.

"So, teacher, you understand now, right? We can't sabotage Lord Yeli Dong's plan; we need to let it proceed smoothly," Xia Feng contemplated, stroking his chin.

Freya cast a glance at the student with her cold and exquisite face, her red lips lightly pursed, and pointing to the ground, she said in a faint voice, "But the first step of the plan, you've killed."

Xia Feng: "....."

"Isn't there a backup puppet?"

"This puppet is not ordinary, but an Alchemy Life created by the 'Divine Relics·Alchemy Magic Box.' It can deceive to the point of real confusion, undetectable to the uninformed by any means of investigation.

The materials used to create it are also very scarce. Lord Yeli Dong only made one Alchemy Life that had the same appearance as you, and now it's gone."

So... that's how it is, Xia Feng subconsciously looked up, just to meet Ms. Fu's pair of beautiful wine-red eyes, calm and indifferent as they stared at him.

The atmosphere turned somewhat subtle.

"Is there anything else you want to ask?" Freya asked softly.

After thinking for a moment, Xia Feng nodded, "There is actually another question."

"Hmm?"

"If Lord Yeli Dong's disgrace plan succeeds and he obtains the Dragon Heart Flame, who is the third candidate for the Dragon King Level?"

"There are actually quite a few candidates. Several A-level Half-Dragons from the Martial God Project basically all qualify for the promotion."

Xia Feng had heard Freya mention the Martial God Project several times before; its ultimate purpose was to create the legendary Dragon Descendant.

Seeing Xia Feng's curiosity, Freya began to explain in detail:

"The exact start time of the Martial God Project is unclear. But both Lord Yeli Dong and I indeed came from the Martial God Project. We were born over three hundred years ago. I...and my sister, due to unstable bloodlines, were forced into an icy slumber.

Lord Yeli Dong, due to his talent and powerful Spiritual Artifact, received favor from Great Lord Business. He soared for three hundred years until he became a disciple of Great Lord Business."

"As for me, I revived from the ice twenty years ago. After my bloodline stabilized and my talent gradually revealed itself, I became the most outstanding among Great Lord Business's children. Thus, I earned his trust and was betrothed to Lord Yeli Dong ten years ago."

Speaking of this, Freya paused, lifting her beautiful eyes slightly, "You know what happened later. I fled before my wedding and went into hiding for ten years. A year ago, I heard that my sister had also revived from the ice, but she was captured by Lord Yeli Dong's Season Envoy and taken to the Bern Island Laboratory, where she died in inhumane experiments..."

Xia Feng nodded; he naturally remembered this. Before entering White Emperor City, he and Miss Mu had gone with Ms. Fu to Bern Island to save her sister. It was also on Bern Island that he learned his first A-level Spiritual Clothes·Miyamoto Tengu, and later, he accidentally fell into the Space-time River, ending up in the forest where White Emperor City was located.

After Freya finished explaining, the serene cave fell into a brief silence.

The atmosphere became subtle once again.

Freya still leaned against the cold stone wall with the knife in her hands, her pretty face bearing the usual seriousness of a teacher, her voice cool, "So, is there anything else you want to ask?"

Xia Feng blinked, staring at the woman's wine-red pupils. He slowly stepped forward, asking with curiosity:

"Ms. Fu, according to Lord Lidong's plan, if the puppet wasn't dead, and you also had no intention of stopping the plan, what should we do next?"

Freya's expression remained unchanged as she seriously explained, "Next, I would be tied up, a photo would be taken and sent to Lord Yeli Dong, threatening him to appear publicly on various major media platforms of the Empire, and apologize to Xia Feng, Wei Shutong, and the innocent civilians of the Garden massacre."

"And then?"

Xia Feng stopped half a meter in front of the woman with wine-red hair.
