I Bound Myself to a Destructive Witch
Chapter 625 - 625: 593. Suffocation

"Mr. Xia, are you really looking forward to my confession?" Mu Qingtong said with a light smile.

"That's not necessarily the case."

The corners of Xia Feng's lips curled up. After all, I already have the memory of your confession, Miss Mu.

"I'm just looking forward to Miss Mu's submission," he stroked his chin, "Miss Mu, do you think there will be a day when you'll be kneeling and clutching at my thigh, sobbing and begging me not to reject your love while saying how much you like Mr. Xia~~"

Seeing him start his self-satisfied and asking-for-a-beating act again, Mu Qingtong was used to it by now; this guy was just a natural sword person who couldn't stand not to act pettily for even a moment.

"Give it back." She said coolly, reaching to pull off the red rope from Xia Feng's wrist.

"Eh?" Xia Feng quickly withdrew his hand to protect his wrist, "Wait, wait, wait——Miss Mu, I also have something to give you."

"Hm?" Mu Qingtong paused.

Xia Feng flipped his palm, and a porcelain bowl appeared in his hand, topped with a skewer of candied hawthorns that glistened with red liuli crystals.

[N-grade · Gourmet's Treasure Bowl · Optimized Version]

[Infinite Food: Any ordinary food that is blessed in this Treasure Bowl will gain an infinite buff and never run out. (Blessed food limit of 1000)]

This Spiritual Artifact was something Xia Feng had come across on his way back to the Bronze Building. It had no effect on improving strength, but placed in a post-apocalyptic world, it would be a Golden Finger-level existence.

The reason why Xia Feng came back to the Bronze Building very late today was that he had scoured the whole city, finally finding a candied haw flavor that he thought Miss Mu would like, based on past experiences.

"This candied haw has been given an infinite buff; eat the seven pieces, and it will replenish with another seven, and they will always stay fresh and never spoil."

Xia Feng handed the skewer with seven candied haws to the woman in the black dress, confidently smiling, "How about it, do you like this gift?"

Mu Qingtong's beautiful eyes lifted slightly, "It's alright."

"....Just alright?" Seeing her so indifferent, Xia Feng tugged at the corner of his mouth and sighed, "It seems you find this gift too inferior. Alright then, indeed it's not as precious as the Spatial Red Rope you gave me, I'll take it back."

Reluctantly speaking, just as Xia Feng was about to take back the skewer, Mu Qingtong swiftly grasped his wrist.

Her golden eyes glared at him for a moment and directly snatched the candied haw from his hands.

"Mr. Xia, you need to understand that there aren't many things in this world that earn my approval. 'It's alright' is already a compliment."

So your praise is really different from that of ordinary people, huh? Xia Feng clicked his tongue and suddenly asked, "Then what about 'not bad'?"

"Not bad is the highest praise."

"And.... 'like'?"

"....." Mu Qingtong took a delicate bite of one of the red crystal fruits, her beautiful golden eyes glancing at Xia Feng, her cheeks cutely puffed as she chewed and tasted, nodding in satisfaction, "Tastes not bad."

Xia Feng watched her actions reminiscent of a cute little hamster, and those bright red lips sparkle with crystal sugar frosting.

He was hungry.

Suddenly, Xia Feng reached out, wrapping his arm around her slender waist, and before Miss Mu could react, he had her sitting on his thigh.

Xia Feng pinched her delicate chin, his thumb gliding lightly over those softly parting red lips.

Under the slightly surprised gaze of Miss Mu's beautiful golden eyes, Xia Feng smiled slightly, "Since Empress has already tasted it, it's time for your subject to try the flavor of this candied haw as well."

"....." Mu Qingtong's cool, slender eyebrows slightly arched, "Mr. Xia, if you keep acting this way, looking for trouble, I may—mmh~~"

Her words were abruptly silenced as Xia Feng forcefully blocked them. She could vividly feel that Mr. Xia was very aggressive at this moment, his burgeoning desire as if suppressed for a long time, making her feel somewhat suffocated....

But,

She relished this suffocating sensation.

It was like a well-behaved dog that hadn't seen her for ages, finally rushing to her side, bouncing with exuberance, repeatedly trying to get close and lower itself, hoping she would stroke its head, seeking her praise for its behavior over these days.

Mu Qingtong gently wrapped her arm around Xia Feng's nape, her slender fingers sinking into his black hair, softly massaging it to encourage and satisfy him.

Her golden eyes calmly gazed at Mr. Xia's eyes, which almost couldn't hide his crazed longing and obscure joy.

The corners of her lips, blocked by his whining and muffled red lips, curved up quietly.

Mr. Xia, as I said, you will eventually... completely submit to me!

Sky Fortress.

The heterochromatic young man leaned against his wheelchair, his expression cold and stern as he stared at the thunderclouds outside the window.

The sky was filled with thick clouds churning, thunder clapping and lightning flashing, the glaring purple light painful to the eyes, extreme in its violence.

His subordinates behind the wheelchair were silent as cicadas in winter, daring not to speak.

But inside, the young man's Inner Self, Lord Yeli Dong, possessing a complete memory, was calmly observing from within the depths of the youth's soul.

He knew very well that Xia Feng, who had counter-killed Ba Ji, was just an Alchemy Puppet.

The current situation seemed out of control, but in fact, everything was still within his plan.

In this disgraceful event, two people had died—Ba Ji and Yeli Xuanqi.

Ba Ji's death was to aid Sword Heart in completing her rite of passage. Sword Heart needed to stage a grand spectacle, in which at least three Venerate Third Realm powerhouses who trusted her would perish.

Ba Ji was the first sacrifice in this spectacle.

Therefore, Lord Lidong personally sent his most capable confidant—the Gun King—disguised as a rarely seen member of the Peach Organization, to save the puppet Xia Feng and incidentally kill Ba Ji.

According to the information reported by Jinyang Hong, the puppet Xia Feng had been successfully rescued by a Peach Organization member, and Ba Ji's body had also disappeared without a trace, presumably taken by the Peach Organization member.

As for Yeli Xuanqi, while being sent to receive the Elemental Saintess and her entourage, his reception was not earnest, subtly provoking the hostility of the Elemental Church.

Lord Lidong knew this fool did so intentionally, as Yeli Xuanqi, though bearing the Ye Li surname, sided with the Jinyang Power Faction under Jinyang Tian due to his mother being from the Jinyang Family.

While the Jinyang Power Faction was closely allied by marriage with the Ye Li Royal Family and both belonged to the Fourth Pillar camp,

this rising Divine-level genius, Jinyang Tian, had always coveted his disciple's position, and Lord Lidong understood that if he did not advance his strength further, he would eventually be ousted by Jinyang Tian in the battle for the Sumeru Throne.

The only point that puzzled the Inner Self Lord Lidong now was that after the Gun King rescued the puppet Xia Feng, he did not seem to have contacted Sword Heart and it was unclear where he had gone.

However, it wasn't too much of an issue, for the Gun King knew the specific plan that followed—to have Xia Feng and Lei Ya engage in a fake union in the presence of the Outward Self, Lord Yeli Dong, ultimately culminating the final disgraceful event.

Once he obtained the Dragon Heart Flame from the spirit of disgrace, enslaved Dragon King Level beings, and completed the Holy Release, his power would experience a qualitative leap.

Only then could he gain an advantage in the upcoming struggle for the Sumeru Throne.

In the current Empire, both the Holy Relics and the Sumeru Throne had emerged simultaneously.

The Holy Relics, being the key to inheriting the Divinity of the Three Saint Star Gods, had attracted the gaze of most Spirit Masters to the Holy Spirit Temple in Sector 41, with nearly all forces converging on Sector 41.

The Sumeru Throne, on the other hand, could usurp the Divinity of a god, granting the user direct qualifications to become a deity, and even a Venerable might ascend in a single step!

The battle for the Holy Relics involved a very high level, so Lord Lidong was not coveting this item.

But for the Sumeru Throne, which he had schemed for many years, even to the extent of sacrificing a hundred thousand soldiers of the White Emperor City, he was determined to secure it at all costs.
